One puts you in a smart casual dress code at Barangaroo. The other opens on your phone at midnight. Here's everything you need to know about Crown Sydney Casino and the online platform.
The venue operates on a members-only model with no poker machines on site. That's not a gap in the offering - it's a condition of the NSW gaming licence.
Getting through the door requires a Sydney Casino Membership, which is separate from a standard Rewards system. Signing up is free and can't be completed without a physical ID.

Two technology systems operate in the background across select tables:

The catalogue runs to over 10,000 titles across 117 providers.

Most games outside the live casino section are available in demo mode. No account or deposit required

If you're visiting Crown Casino Sydney for the first time and planning to play, sort your membership before you arrive. The Rewards Desk processes applications Monday to Friday from 10:00am and weekends from 12:00pm, but queues on Friday and Saturday evenings run long. Starting the process through the app before the first visit will save you time on the night, even though you'll still need to present a physical ID.
