What to know before you walk in
Adults only, ID in your pocket
Casino floors are for people aged 18 and over. Venues run a Think 25 policy: if you look under 25, staff will ask for photo ID such as a passport or driving licence. A bank card is not proof of age.
No membership, no waiting
The 24-hour membership wait ended with the Gambling Act 2005. Most venues let you walk in on the spot; a few still register first-time visitors at reception, which is quick and costs nothing.
Doors and tables keep different hours
A casino open around the clock may deal live tables only from the afternoon or evening. Each venue below shows door hours and live-table hours in London time, with a live open-now marker.
Smart-casual, usually
Most floors are smart-casual: smart jeans and trainers are commonly fine, football shirts, vests and caps often refused. Where a venue publishes no dress code we say so.
Straight answers
The full set is on the questions page.
Do I need to be a member to get into a UK casino?
No. The membership and 24-hour waiting rule ended with the Gambling Act 2005. You need to be 18 or over and carry photo ID. Most venues let you walk in on the spot; some register first-time visitors at reception, which is free and quick.
What photo ID is accepted?
A passport or a photocard driving licence. Venues operate Think 25, so anyone who looks under 25 is asked for proof of age at the door. A bank card is not proof of age.
Is it free to walk in?
Entry to the venues listed here is free — you pay only for food, drink and play. A very small number of members-only clubs are not listed here because you cannot simply walk in.
Is there a dress code?
Usually smart-casual. Smart jeans and trainers are commonly fine; football shirts, vests and caps are often refused. Some venues enforce no dress code at all. Each venue page says what that venue publishes.
