House Rules
How we keep GT Galaxy fair, safe and worth coming back to.
The house in six lines
Everything below in short. Read the detail once, and the table will feel familiar from your first hand.
Verified and of age
Government photo ID is checked at every visit.
Your own funds
No credit, lending, borrowing or third-party buy-ins.
Play it straight
No collusion, chip dumping or soft play. Ever.
Phones down
Away from the table while hands are live.
The floor decides
The Floor Manager's ruling is final at the table.
Smoke outside
Only in the designated outdoor area.
Entry and membership
GT Game Theory Galaxy is a private, members-only club. Everyone at our tables has been verified first.
- Members and approved guests only. Entry is limited to verified members and the guests they bring with approval.
- Eighteen or older. There are no exceptions, for members or guests.
- Photo ID at every visit. Any one of these is accepted:
AadhaarPAN cardPassportDriving licenceVoter ID
- Right of admission. Management may refuse entry or end a membership at any time, and is not required to give a reason.
Fair play at the felt
Poker is a game of skill, and skill only counts when everyone is playing honestly.
- No collusion or cheating. Chip dumping, soft play and any form of cheating lead to a permanent ban.
- No devices for advantage. Phones, tablets and smartwatches may not be used to gain an edge. Keep phones away from the table during live hands.
- No photos, video or streaming in the gaming area unless management has agreed in advance.
- No arguing at the table. If you disagree with a ruling, raise it with the Floor Manager. The ruling is final and cannot be appealed at the table.
Act in turn, keep your chips visible and keep your cards on the table. Dealers and the floor team will remind you politely, and it keeps every hand clean.
Conduct, safety and surveillance
A good room is a calm room. These rules protect members and staff alike.
Zero tolerance
Abusive language, threats, intimidation or aggression toward staff or members leads to immediate removal and may lead to a permanent ban.
No weapons
Firearms, knives and any other weapons are not allowed on the premises.
No illegal substances
Possession, use or supply means immediate removal and a report to the authorities. Anyone visibly intoxicated may be asked to leave.
Smoke-free indoors
No smoking in the gaming or lounge areas. Use the outdoor smoking area.
24/7 CCTV
The premises are monitored around the clock for everyone's safety. By entering, members and guests consent to being recorded. Footage may be reviewed to settle disputes and for security or compliance.

Walk-ins are welcome. A quick message makes sure your seat is waiting.
Cash-game seats
Walk-in seats depend on availability. To guarantee one, message us on WhatsApp at +91 99861 77736 at least an hour before you arrive.
The waitlist
When tables are full, names go on the list in order of arrival. The floor will call you. If you are not on the floor when called, your turn may pass.
Tournaments
Pre-register for the GT Bounty and the GT Championship, as they fill up. The Weekly Freeroll is by qualification: the Top 20 players by volume, with at least 30 logged hours.
No-show policy
If you pre-register and miss a tournament without notice three or more times, we may decline future pre-registrations. Cancel on WhatsApp before the start to stay in good standing.
Lounge, parking and dress
The comfort side of the house.
Food and drink
Dining and beverages are served through the day and brought to your seat. Everything is à la carte and billed separately at the cashier when you settle. Outside food and drink are not permitted, except sealed water bottles.
Valet and parking
Valet parking is offered to members. Hand your keys to the valet team at the entrance and they will take care of the rest.
Tipping
Tipping dealers and floor staff is optional and always appreciated. There is no fixed amount. Hand chips to your dealer at the table, or settle a tip with the cashier when you cash out.
Dress code
Smart casual: collared shirts, polos, button-downs, jeans, chinos and closed shoes. Sleeveless vests, beachwear, sportswear, slippers and torn clothing are not permitted in the gaming area. The VVIP room asks for business casual or smarter.
