Frequently asked questions

Is poker legal at Dream Room?

Yes. Dream Room operates in full compliance with Taiwan’s "Mind Sport" regulations. Traditional cash games are illegal in Taiwan; therefore, the venue exclusively hosts Time-Limit Tournaments. These sessions have a fixed end time, and players are paid out based on their chip count (calculated via ICM or similar standings) at the conclusion of the round, providing a fully legal way to enjoy high-stakes action.

What identification do I need to enter?

To comply with government oversight, all players must provide valid ID. International players must present their original physical Passport (digital copies or photos are strictly prohibited). Local Taiwanese players must provide their National ID card. You must be at least 18 years of age to enter and participate.

Can I play if I don’t speak Mandarin?

Absolutely. Dream Room is an international-facing club with a professional staff accustomed to global guests. While 80% of the player base is local, the "language of poker" is universal, and English is used for all standard dealer calls (Call, Raise, Fold, All-in). Furthermore, the club specializes in VIP services for international travelers.

How do I secure a seat or get a discount?

Dream Room is a boutique 11-table venue that fills up quickly, especially during high-stakes sessions. Players are highly encouraged to pre-register via the official LINE group or Instagram. Not only does this guarantee your seat, but pre-registered players or those who arrive between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM are often eligible for 50% off the tournament fee.

What payment methods are accepted?

The standard currency for buy-ins is New Taiwan Dollars (TWD), and the club primarily operates on a cash-only basis. However, for the convenience of international high-rollers, Dream Room provides an in-house money changer that supports major currencies like USD and digital assets like USDT.
