    Normally you get an email anywhere from a week to go, so it should be soon.
    What do you need to know?

    cheers mate thats fine, how do sky know when you turn up that you are who you say you are, i mean whats to stop someone who hasnt qualified turning up saying they are someone else who has.

    I wasnt sure if the info confirmed any other details that we needed but if its just as you say thats fine

    Player briefing out Monday. I'll post it on here and I am sure an email will go out too


    There will be a SPT welcome desk in reception. When you arrive report there and you'll be given a name badge. I'll have a list with real names and Sky Aliases on.  I'll cross reference that with your photographic ID you need to bring if I have to. However I am sure my colleagues will know most of you, even if I don't

    Not this year

    Mind you I was doing an event about three years ago for blonde Poker. I didn't know anyone, having only conversed online. I walked up to two big Caribbean gentlemen near the entrance, all bling, muscles and steroids and enquired "are you blondes..."

    Thier looks could have melted ice. I slunk way quickly......

     Yes purely because you need photo ID to get a membership to be allowed in. hope to see you either playing or on the rails :D

    Most - but not all - Casinos demand Photo ID (Passport, or Driving Licence) to gain admission. It's a requirement of the Casinos rather than the law, but them's the Rules, & it's certainly the case in ALL Grosvenor's & Aspers Venues.

    It may  - may - not be the case in the Alea Glasgow, but we'll make players aware of that nearer the time.

    In the recent  past, Casinos operated by LCI (London Clubs International) have a "walk straight in" Policy - no Membership, no ID required. Alea is owned by LCI, who in turn are owned by Harrahs. LCI Casinos in the UK include the ALEA's in Glasgow, Nottingham, & Leeds, the Brighton & Southend Rendezvous's, & The Empire in Leicester Square.

    So, yes, so far as it affects the SPT, Photo ID for all Grosvenor & Asper Casinos, & for the DTD Grand Final, but I'm not sure about ALEA Glasgow.

    Barry - SPT Rich or myself will check this, but it IS possible to gain admission to some Casinos without Photio ID - some Casinos will accept sight of a Utility Bill. Which sounds bizarre, showing a 'Leccy bill to get in a Casino, but it's true. That's certainly the case at The Broadway, in Birmingham, but I'm not sure about Grosvenors. SPT Rich or myself will investigate for you.

    It'd be simply great to see you at one or more of the SPT's.

    Hi tikay

    Lol was writing my post when you added yours, I know Naps accept a utility bill and bankcard as proof of ID, so maybe, just maybe, fingers crossed, obviously I would love to meet you all.

    The extract from the player briefing is as follows:

    Registration:

    Registration will take place on the day and is available 24/7 and we encourage Sky Poker players to register as early as possible.

    Players can leave the venue after registration but we encourage you to be back in your allocated seats by 1.45pm (for a 2.00pm start).  However, it is not obligatory to be in your seat at the start of the event.
     
    Please note that any friends or family members that wish to accompany you into the Casino will also have to complete a Casino Member Application Form.

    Registration is only available to individuals aged 18 years of age and older, with a valid proof of identification.

    Please bring a valid Passport or Drivers License.  If you do not have one of those, then a credit card AND recent utility bill will suffice.  Your guests will also need to bring a similar proof of identity.

    If you cannot present valid identification to the Casino, you will not be allowed to enter the premises.

    Online registration beforehand at http://www.gcasino.co.uk/manchester/ may save you some time

     


     

    I have checked this with the venue today and they say two forms of non Photo ID, if recent, such as a bank bill and a utility bill, are acceptable if no Photo ID is available
