Where to stay

Food between sessions

Food at the casino

The venue lists a restaurant and bar. Confirm kitchen hours around your tournament breaks; a casino being open 24 hours does not establish all-night food service.

The Lock Kitchen & Bar

The DoubleTree lists this on-site restaurant and room service. It is a hotel dining option away from the tournament venue; check meal times before returning from a late session.

Winnings & tax

HMRC says that expertise or earning a living from gambling does not by itself make it a trade; income connected with services can be treated differently. This guide has not confirmed event-specific withholding. Ask the organizer about payout paperwork and check obligations in your country of tax residence. Organizer deductions from a prize pool are not automatically tax withholding.

General information, not a personal tax calculation. Confirm your position with a qualified adviser and the organizer.
