Frequently asked questions

How far is the Royal Poker Club from the airport?

The Noi Bai International Airport serving Hanoi is approximately a 40-minute drive under normal traffic conditions. The distance between the card room and the terminals is about 28 km, and the safest way to travel is by using official airport taxis or the local Grab ride-hailing application.

What currency is accepted at the Royal Poker Club tables?

In accordance with the local laws in Vietnam, the card room only accepts the official local currency, the Vietnamese Dong (VND), for tournament buy-ins. Foreign currencies like USD or EUR can be exchanged at the casino cage, nearby banks, or authorized exchange booths.

What is the minimum age and dress code for RPT Championship IV tournaments?

Players must be at least 21 years old to enter, which must be verified with a valid government-issued photo ID or passport during registration. The dress code is smart casual: open-toed sandals, sleeveless shirts, and athletic shorts are strictly prohibited at the tournament tables.

How can I qualify for the RPT Championship IV Main Event most cost-effectively?

Numerous live satellite tournaments will run at the venue prior to and during the festival, with buy-ins starting from as low as VND 2,500,000. These qualifiers offer an excellent opportunity to win your seat in the higher buy-in Main Event for a fraction of the cost.

Do I need to pay taxes on my poker winnings in Vietnam?

Yes, according to current tax laws in Vietnam, a 10% personal income tax is withheld from individual tournament winnings exceeding VND 10,000,000. The tax is automatically calculated and deducted at the Royal Poker Club payout desk, meaning players receive their net winnings directly.
