Responsible Entertainment

Last updated: 12 June 2026

PromoLineup produces casino-themed entertainment. The theme borrows the tables, the chips and the theatre of a classic casino night — and deliberately leaves everything else behind. This page explains, in plain language, how our events work and the standards we apply to keep them what they are: a good evening, and nothing more.

How our events work

• Symbolic chips only. Every guest receives the same set of branded chips at the door, free of charge. The chips have no monetary value. They cannot be bought, sold, topped up, exchanged or redeemed — during the event or after it.
• No real money at any table. There are no buy-ins, no cash play, and no monetary outcome of any game. The evening ends with a chip count, a leaderboard and a trophy for the top-scoring table — that is the entire economy of the event.
• Hosted, not dealt against. Our table hosts are entertainers and teachers. Their job is participation and pace, not advantage. House rules are explained openly before every session.
• Private and 18+. Events are closed functions for adult guests invited by our client. We do not run public events, and we do not admit guests under 18.

What we will not do

We decline requests — and have declined them — to:

• attach money, vouchers or anything of monetary value to chip counts or game outcomes;
• charge guests for chips, additional chips or table access;
• run events that are open to the general public rather than an invited guest list;
• present our services as anything other than entertainment.

These boundaries are written into every event agreement and are not negotiable, whatever the budget.

Guest wellbeing

Even with symbolic chips, we design for a healthy evening:

• hosts are trained to keep the tone light and inclusive, and to cool down any table where competitiveness stops being fun;
• participation is always optional — our floor plans include space to socialise away from the tables, and no guest is ever pressed to play;
• session lengths are capped in the run sheet so the tables are one part of the evening, not the whole of it;
• any guest or client can raise a concern with the on-site producer at any time during an event.

If you have questions or concerns

If anything about an event we produced did not meet the standards on this page, we want to know. Contact us at [email protected] or +64 9 358 4172 and ask for the Client Director. We respond to every concern within two working days.
