Reading guide
Terms at a glance
These terms cover website use, venue conduct, card-room gatherings, content ownership, updates and questions. This guide helps you move through the document; the complete wording in each section below remains important.
Website terms
Website use and information
Personal and lawful use
You may browse this website for personal, lawful and respectful purposes connected with Chance and Velvet. Please use its pages, links and contact channels in a way that does not interfere with the site’s ordinary operation or another visitor’s use of it. Do not attempt to enter restricted areas, misuse available forms, or use site material in a manner that is misleading, harmful or inappropriate.
Where you choose to send an enquiry, please provide information that is relevant and accurate. The website is a place to discover the house and make a considered enquiry, not a place for disruptive, deceptive or unsuitable communications.
Informational nature of content
Information about cuisine, atmosphere, the card room and gatherings is published as general editorial and venue information. It is intended to give visitors a useful sense of Chance and Velvet and its in-person experiences.
Details may change as the venue programme evolves. Website content should not be treated as a guarantee that every setting, experience or arrangement will be presented in the same way on every visit. If a detail matters to your plans, please make an enquiry before attending.
Links and third-party material
Any external material a visitor may encounter is outside Chance and Velvet’s direct control. When leaving this site or considering third-party material, please use independent judgment and review the information that applies there.
At the house
Visiting the venue
Respect for the house and other guests
Chance and Velvet is intended to be a composed place for dining and gathering. When visiting the dining room, shared spaces or other areas of the venue, please act considerately toward other guests, the setting and the team. A respectful manner helps preserve the quiet character of the house and allows everyone to enjoy their time there with ease.
Venue directions and participation guidance
Please follow reasonable venue guidance intended to support a safe, comfortable and orderly in-person experience. This applies across dining, the card room and any gathering held at the venue. Where conduct is inconsistent with the house environment or the practical running of an activity, participation may be paused or declined.
Care for the setting
Please treat furnishings, table settings, cards, chips and other shared venue items with care. Card-room materials are part of an in-person setting arranged for guests to use together, and thoughtful handling helps keep the room calm, orderly and welcoming for everyone present.
At the card room
Card room and poker evenings
Gathering guidance
The card room and recurring poker evenings are curated venue gatherings. Attendees are asked to follow the stated format and any reasonable venue guidance for the gathering they attend. Poker tables, cards and chips are physical shared materials within the room, and a gathering’s format or table arrangement may vary to suit the in-person environment.
Courtesy, attention to the room and care for fellow attendees are part of the experience. Please approach each gathering as a considered occasion held at the venue.
Texas Hold’em tournaments and high roller gatherings
Texas Hold’em tournaments and high roller gatherings are specific kinds of offline, in-person gatherings that may be presented at the venue. Their appearance on the website is descriptive and does not promise a particular schedule, format, outcome or entitlement to participate.
Participation boundaries
Chance and Velvet may guide, pause or limit participation where needed to maintain the considered environment of the card room and venue. This is a practical part of hosting a physical gathering and supports respectful behaviour, shared comfort and the orderly use of the room.
A house term
Chips-only table allocation
Defined venue term
A “buy-in” is a chips-only table allocation used within an in-person poker-table setting at the venue.
The term relates only to physical chips assigned for the table experience. It is not an online feature or a digital account concept. All poker activity takes place offline and in person at the Chance and Velvet venue.
Context and venue guidance
Table allocation details may be communicated as part of the relevant in-person gathering format and should be followed as venue guidance. In the card room, “buy-in” is simply the house term for the chips-only allocation associated with a physical poker table. No fixed allocation detail is implied by this term alone.
Website stewardship
Content, intellectual property and availability
Chance and Velvet material
Text, photography, design, names and other website material belonging to Chance and Velvet are provided for personal viewing. Please do not copy, republish or use that material beyond ordinary personal use without permission. You may share a page link in the usual way, but that does not grant a right to reproduce the material contained on the page.
This wording is illustrative rather than exhaustive and applies to the distinct material presented as part of the Chance and Velvet website.
Accuracy and change
Chance and Velvet aims to keep website information useful and current, while details about cuisine, atmosphere, card-room programming and gatherings may change. The house may refine how information is presented as its venue programme develops.
Site access
The website may be updated, adjusted or temporarily unavailable from time to time. Please use it respectfully and return later if a page is not available when you visit. No technical detail or uninterrupted access is promised by these terms.
Keeping terms current
Changes to these terms
Right to revise
Chance and Velvet may revise these terms when the website, venue information or in-person gathering guidance changes. The current version shown on this page is the version visitors should review. Revisions are made so the document can remain useful and aligned with the way the house and its information are presented.
Continued use
Continued use of the website or attendance at the venue after an update indicates acceptance of the updated terms. Please check this page from time to time, particularly if you are considering a visit or an in-person gathering.
