Physical venue only
Card Shack Mackay is an offline poker venue providing face-to-face experiences at a physical location in Mackay, Queensland, Australia. Poker activity is experienced in person at the venue and is subject to venue rules, staff directions and applicable requirements. Nothing on this website presents Card Shack Mackay as an online poker service, online gambling platform, or provider of remote poker participation.
1.3
Information availability
Website information, venue activities, dining offerings, event information and availability may change. Material on the website is general information and is not a guarantee that a particular activity, table, menu item or arrangement will be available for your visit. Where information matters to your plans, please confirm it directly with Card Shack Mackay at [email protected] or +61 7 4953 7621.
02 / Eligibility
Age eligibility and entry
2.1
Proof of age and entry decisions
Card Shack Mackay may ask for suitable identification and may refuse entry, participation, service or a reservation where age eligibility, identity, safety or compliance requirements cannot be reasonably satisfied. Staff make these decisions to support a safe venue environment for guests and the team. A request for identification or further information should be treated as a practical condition of entry, not as a guarantee that entry or participation will follow.
2.2
Responsible attendance
You must act responsibly and follow reasonable venue directions relating to safety, guest comfort, dining and lounge areas, and poker-room operations. Meeting an age requirement does not guarantee entry or participation. A person may be asked to leave where conduct is unsafe, unlawful, disruptive, or inconsistent with venue rules and the reasonable direction of staff.
03 / Attendance
Reservations, attendance and venue activities
3.1
Reservation enquiries and confirmations
A request to reserve a poker table, arrange a visit or enquire about a private event is an enquiry unless and until Card Shack Mackay confirms it directly. Please provide accurate, current contact details so the venue can understand and respond to the request. Requested times, tables, activities and group arrangements may depend on availability and venue requirements, and should not be treated as confirmed merely because an enquiry has been sent.
3.2
In-person venue experience
Arrival and participation
When attending, follow any communicated arrival instructions and reasonable staff directions about entry, seating, table use and participation in poker games or other venue activities. Card Shack Mackay provides face-to-face poker around real poker tables. Participation or seating may be adjusted where reasonably needed for safety, operations, guest comfort or compliance. The venue does not promise a particular game format, seating capacity, tournament frequency or other arrangement unless it has been directly confirmed.
3.3
Events and poker tournaments
Details published for private events or poker tournaments are subject to confirmation, stated event conditions, availability and venue direction. Information communicated for a specific event may add to these terms for that event. Organisers and attendees should confirm arrangements that matter to them before relying on them, including any details provided in direct venue communications.
04 / Venue standards
Conduct, safety and property
4.1
Respectful conduct
Guests must treat staff, players, diners and other visitors with respect throughout the poker room, card lounge, dining areas and common venue spaces. Harassment, threats, discrimination, cheating, intimidation and disruptive conduct are not acceptable. Card Shack Mackay may take reasonable action, including asking a person to leave, where behaviour compromises safety, guest comfort, fair participation or the venue environment. These expectations apply whether you are visiting for poker, dining, an event or a general enquiry.
4.2
Safety and staff directions
While on the premises, comply with reasonable health, safety, security and operational directions issued by staff. Directions may concern access, seating, food and beverage areas, table activity or an incident response. If you notice a safety concern or accidental damage, please tell a staff member promptly so it can be addressed appropriately.
4.3
Personal belongings and venue property
Please keep personal belongings secure and use venue furniture, cards, chips, equipment and facilities responsibly. Report accidental damage or a loss concern promptly. Guests may be responsible where loss or damage results from their actions or from failing to follow reasonable directions. If you need help with a property concern, speak with staff as soon as practicable.
