  • Select your reason for closure (optional, but helps us improve)
  • Confirm your decision
  • Your account will be deactivated within 24 hours

Option 2 — By Email

Send a request to info@dublinpokerclub.com from the email address registered to your account. Include your full name and membership number. We will process your request within 2 business days.

Option 3 — In Person

Visit the Club during opening hours (6:00 PM – 6:00 AM) and speak to a staff member at reception. Bring your photo ID for verification.

If You Are Closing Due to Gambling Concerns

If your reason for closing is related to problem gambling, please let us know — we will:

  • Prioritise your request and process it immediately
  • Add you to our self-exclusion register to prevent future entry to the Club
  • Provide you with contact details for support services:

What Happens to Your Remaining Balance

If you have funds in your digital wallet at the time of closure:

  • Cash withdrawal: Collect your balance at the Club cashier during opening hours
  • Bank transfer: Request a transfer to your bank account (Irish/EEA IBAN required). Processing takes 1–3 business days.
  • You must complete KYC verification before any withdrawal if you have not already done so
