Sideboard hall: thirteen banking routes read one column at a time from the parlour ledger

The sideboard hall runs the full length of the oak shelf beside the parlour door, and the club steward keeps a printed list of thirteen banking routes pinned above it. Every route is priced in pounds sterling with a £25 minimum on the entry ledger, except the crypto side table, which begins at 30 USDT or the equivalent in the six other supported coins. The steward reads the list column by column so a first-time member can pick a route without leaving the sideboard.

Registration on the entry ledger before the first £25 deposit

Registration on the entry ledger is the first frame before any figure is written to a member number. The steward on duty asks for a name, a date of birth confirming 18 or over, a residential address and a UK-facing contact. The member's tag is then printed and clipped to the ledger row, and the first deposit at the sideboard follows on the same visit.

Cards, wallets and mobile: six routes on the near shelf

Visa and Mastercard sit at the front of the sideboard, and both clear a £25 deposit to the ledger in seconds. Skrill and Revolut sit beside them for members who prefer an e-wallet route, with the same £25 floor. Apple Pay and Google Pay complete the near shelf, and the parlour steward marks these two as the fastest way to top up a member's tag from a mobile line during a live frame.

Crypto side table: seven routes in the snug behind a brass screen

The crypto side table sits in the snug at the back, screened by a small brass rail so the fiat queue and the crypto queue never cross. The ledger accepts BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, USDT, TRX and SOL, in that order on the printed list. A crypto welcome deposit begins at 30 USDT or the equivalent in the six other coins, and the steward stamps the member's tag once the block confirms on the coin's own network.

Withdrawals along the same shelf, once three signed pages are on file

Withdrawals travel in the reverse direction along the same sideboard. Before any figure leaves the ledger, the parlour steward files three signed pages on the member number: a photographic identity document, a proof of address dated within the last three months, and a screenshot of the payment method that funded the deposit. Once those three pages are stamped, e-wallet and crypto withdrawals clear within hours of the steward countersigning, while card payouts run to a longer bank settlement window.

Two figures the steward repeats at the sideboard

Two figures are worth committing to memory before the first frame at the emerald baize. The deposit floor at the sideboard is £25 in fiat or 30 USDT in crypto. The maximum bet while a welcome bonus is active on the tag is £5, and the parlour voids the bonus on the ledger if the member overshoots that £5 line, without touching the plain cash balance already deposited.
