By signing this application, I acknowledge, understand,
and agree to the following. Please read in full before
signing below.
1. Private Membership
The Den is operated as a private membership-based
social club. Membership is personal to the member
and may not be transferred, loaned, shared, sold,
assigned, or used by another individual unless
expressly authorized in writing by The Den.
Membership does not guarantee admission at all times
and may be restricted or terminated in accordance
with club rules.
2. Member Identification & Check-In
Members must properly check in upon entering The Den
and may be required to present identification or
membership credentials. A person who enters the
premises without completing the required membership
or guest check-in process is not entitled to receive
membership services or privileges. Membership
credentials remain subject to verification by
The Den. The Den reserves the right to deny access
to any person who cannot establish valid membership
or authorized guest status.
3. Guests
Guests must comply with all guest registration and
access procedures established by The Den. A member
may be held responsible for the conduct of guests
admitted under that member's sponsorship or invitation.
Guest privileges may be limited or revoked at any time.
4. Alcohol / BYOB Acknowledgment
I understand that The Den operates under a
bring-your-own-beverage model where permitted by
applicable law and club policy. Any alcoholic beverage
brought onto the premises by a member remains the
property of that individual member. Alcohol may not
be sold, transferred, shared, distributed, or provided
in violation of law or club policy.
Members bringing alcoholic beverages onto the premises
must comply with The Den's alcohol check-in,
identification, storage, possession, and service
procedures. Alcohol brought into the club may be
required to be presented to designated staff or
management for check-in and identification. Alcohol
may be labeled or otherwise associated with the
individual member who owns it.
The Den may establish procedures regarding storage,
handling, service times, legal service hours, and
removal of alcoholic beverages. Club staff may only
pour or otherwise handle alcohol consistent with
The Den's policies and applicable law. A member may
not use another member's stored alcoholic beverages
without authorization and compliance with club policy.
Failure to follow The Den's alcohol procedures may
result in suspension or termination of membership.
Members are responsible for consuming alcohol
responsibly. The Den reserves the right to refuse
alcohol-related service or access to any person who
appears intoxicated or whose conduct presents a
safety or compliance concern.
5. Member Conduct
Members and guests are expected to conduct themselves
in a respectful, lawful, and sportsmanlike manner.
The following behavior may result in warning,
suspension, removal, or termination of membership:
- Threatening, intimidating, abusive, or violent behavior;
- Harassment or discrimination;
- Cheating, collusion, theft, fraud, or dishonesty;
- Intentional damage to club property;
- Disruption of club operations;
- Violation of poker rules or tournament rules;
- Violation of alcohol policies;
- Unauthorized access to restricted areas;
- Conduct that creates a safety, legal, or compliance risk;
- Failure to follow lawful instructions of management or security;
- Any violation of The Den's membership rules or house policies.
The Den reserves the right to remove any individual
from the premises when management reasonably determines
that removal is necessary for safety, compliance,
security, or orderly operation of the club.
6. Poker & Gaming Activities
I understand that poker activities conducted at
The Den are governed by club rules, applicable
membership requirements, tournament rules where
applicable, and applicable law. Members are expected
to protect the integrity of all games. Cheating,
collusion, chip manipulation, soft play intended to
improperly affect a game, theft, fraudulent activity,
or other conduct compromising game integrity is
prohibited. Decisions made by authorized floor
personnel or management regarding game integrity,
rules interpretation, seating, disputes, or player
conduct are subject to The Den's established procedures.
7. Membership Dues, Fees & Club Charges
I understand that membership dues, access charges,
hourly charges, tournament fees, food and beverage
charges, merchandise purchases, or other lawful
charges may apply depending upon the services I
choose to use. Membership fees are not wagers and
do not represent an ownership interest in poker games
or gambling proceeds. Unless otherwise required by
law or expressly stated in writing, membership dues
and fees are non-refundable once earned or used.
8. Personal Property
I am responsible for my own money, chips, electronics,
clothing, alcohol, bags, vehicles, and other personal
property. The Den is not responsible for lost,
misplaced, stolen, or unattended personal property
except to the extent responsibility is imposed by
applicable law. Members should immediately report
suspected theft or missing property to management
or security.
9. Assumption of Risk & Liability
I understand that participation in social, recreational,
dining, poker, entertainment, and other club activities
involves ordinary risks associated with being in a
public or private entertainment environment. I
voluntarily assume ordinary risks associated with my
participation and presence at The Den. I agree to
follow club safety rules and immediately notify
management of dangerous conditions, injuries,
accidents, or security concerns. Nothing in this
agreement is intended to waive any right or
responsibility that cannot legally be waived under
applicable law.
10. Weapons & Security
Weapons are prohibited on The Den premises except as
specifically authorized by The Den's written security
policy or applicable law. The Den's policy permits
weapons carried by authorized armed security personnel
performing assigned security duties. On-duty
law-enforcement personnel acting within the scope of
their official duties are not prohibited from carrying
weapons as permitted by law. Regular employees,
including employees handling cash or working in cage
operations, are not authorized to carry weapons merely
because of their employment. The Den reserves the right
to establish additional security procedures and to
require compliance with those procedures as a condition
of entry or continued membership.
11. Photography, Video, Media & Likeness
I understand that photography, video recording,
livestreaming, interviews, promotional recording,
and other media activity may occur at The Den. I
authorize The Den, its affiliates, representatives,
contractors, marketing partners, and authorized media
providers to photograph, record, reproduce, publish,
display, distribute, broadcast, stream, or otherwise
use my name, image, likeness, voice, appearance,
statements or interviews, and participation in
activities or events at The Den. Such material may
be used for legitimate club-related purposes including
advertising, marketing, social media, digital media,
websites, print materials, broadcast media,
livestreaming, sponsorship, promotional content,
public relations, and historical or archival purposes.
I understand that I will not receive compensation,
royalties, fees, or any other financial benefit
resulting from such use. I waive any right to inspect
or approve the final photograph, video, advertisement,
publication, or other finished media in which my
likeness appears. This authorization does not permit
The Den to intentionally portray me in a knowingly
false or defamatory manner.
12. Electronic Communications
I authorize The Den to communicate with me regarding
membership, club operations, tournaments, promotions,
events, reservations, announcements, account matters,
and other club-related information through reasonable
communication methods, including email, telephone,
or text messaging. I understand that I may request
removal from promotional communications where applicable.
13. Club Rules & Policy Changes
I acknowledge that The Den may establish and amend
reasonable membership rules, operational policies,
safety procedures, poker rules, tournament rules,
alcohol procedures, codes of conduct, and other club
policies. Current policies made available by the club
are incorporated into my membership obligations.
Continued use of the club after reasonable notice of
a policy change constitutes acceptance of the revised
policy to the extent permitted by law.
14. Suspension or Termination
The Den may suspend, restrict, or terminate membership
for violation of club rules, misconduct, fraud, safety
concerns, threats, illegal activity, game-integrity
concerns, failure to pay amounts properly due, or
other material violations of the membership agreement.
Immediate removal may occur when management determines
that continued presence presents a safety, security,
compliance, or operational concern. Termination of
membership does not excuse outstanding lawful charges
incurred before termination.
