How much does it cost to open a poker club via franchise?

The cost depends on the city, the venue size and the format. At the start you receive a ready financial model and a precise investment estimate. Leave a request — we will send a presentation with the figures.

Is it a legal business?

Yes. The Poker Room GTO franchise is a club of recreational poker with no money stakes. We hand over a legally sound operating model that is not gambling.

Do I need experience in poker or hospitality?

No. We train the partner and the team from scratch: operations, tournament organisation, marketing and staff work. No poker experience required.

How fast can I launch?

On average it takes 1.5–3 months from signing the contract to opening — depending on how ready the venue is. Support is provided at every stage.
