Yes. As of 21 August 2026, JP Poker Club is advertised as operating at Unit 3, Arena, Whitestown Way, Tallaght, Dublin 24, D24 V9TA. It is in Tallaght, not Fairview. The club publishes opening hours of noon to 6am, seven days a week.
JP Poker advertises a 7pm tournament every evening and cash games nightly. Players must become members before playing; membership is free for people aged 18 or over. First-time visitors need photographic ID and proof of address.
Location, hours and transport
The current JP Poker Card Club & Casino is in the Arena complex in Tallaght, opposite Shamrock Rovers Stadium. Use D24 V9TA for the destination.
Dublin Poker Club & Casino at 3 Fairview Strand, Dublin 3, is a separate venue. Anyone looking for JP Poker should travel to Tallaght rather than Fairview.
- Address: Unit 3, Arena, Whitestown Way, Tallaght, Dublin 24, D24 V9TA
- Advertised hours: noon to 6am, seven days a week
- Parking: free parking is advertised outside the venue
- Public transport: the club says the Dublin Bus and Luas stops at The Square Tallaght are about a one-minute walk away
Opening hours are separate from tournament start times and do not mean every advertised cash-game stake will be active throughout the day.
Weekly tournament schedule
The recurring schedule reviewed on 21 August 2026 lists one tournament at 7pm every evening. Advertised buy-ins range from €80 to €150. Late registration closes at 10pm on most nights and at midnight on Tuesday.

The programme includes two Deepstack tournaments as well as Monday Club, Wednesday Grind, Thursday Hi Jack, Saturday Session and Super Sunday. The official JP Poker weekly schedule carries the latest published programme.
Cash games and stakes
Yes, JP Poker advertises cash games nightly, with entry buy-ins starting at €50. Published formats and stakes include:
- €1/€2 and €2/€5 no-limit hold’em
- €2/€5 pot-limit Omaha
- Round-of-each NLH/PLO
- €1/€2/€5 PLO
Nightly cash games do not guarantee that every listed table or stake will be active at a particular arrival time.
How much it costs to play
Regular tournament buy-ins are advertised at €80, €120 or €150, while cash-game entry starts at €50. Club membership is free.
Those figures should be treated separately: a tournament buy-in is not a cash-game entry amount or a membership charge. The club’s public pages do not consistently itemise tournament deductions, dealer contributions, cash-game rake or every minimum and maximum cash buy-in.
Membership, age and first-visit documents
Players must become JP Poker members to play. Membership is advertised as free for anyone aged 18 or over, with registration available on a first visit.
JP Poker requires all entrants to be at least 18 and to present photographic identification. First-time visitors must also provide proof of address. The club does not publish a definitive list of accepted photo-ID or proof-of-address documents.
The distinction is important: the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 uses 18 as the relevant national age threshold, while free membership, photographic ID and first-visit proof of address are JP Poker’s venue-specific admission requirements.
Official contact details
The clearest operator-published direct route is [email protected]. The operator has also published +353 87 644 8132 as a contact option.
Where a named tournament, exact total cost, particular cash-game stake or document type will determine the trip, confirm everything in one pre-travel email and include the intended date and arrival time.
A simple decision path
- Playing a tournament: select the night from the dated schedule, budget for the listed buy-in and note the 7pm start and late-registration deadline.
- Playing cash: choose from the advertised NLH, PLO or mixed formats, with entry starting at €50.
- Visiting for the first time: bring photographic ID and proof of address for free membership registration.
- Travelling to the club: use D24 V9TA and go to the Arena complex in Tallaght, not Fairview.
JP McCann and player comments
JP Poker identifies JP McCann as the club’s founder and owner and as an experienced tournament director. The operator says he began running poker events in 2005 and opened the current Arena venue in January 2024.
A small, self-selecting Reddit discussion included positive comments about the club and references to NLH and PLO activity, alongside one prospective visitor’s report of difficulty receiving a reply. That limited feedback does not establish a representative player rating or current operating policy.
