How Croupier Jobs use your details

Once your details have been entered onto our site they will thereafter become accessible to the Croupier Jobs staff; whom will contact you using the details that have been provided once compatible work becomes available. The staff at Croupier Jobs may phone or send an email with the location, date and times of an event for your consideration.

Work Environment

The main emphasis of the croupier work environment is entertainment; there is a lot of interaction with the game players compared to real casinos, and you are often in a party environment, so you should enjoy yourself without the regular casino pressures.

Most events only require 2 to 3 hours of actual consistent dealing time; and they most often start between 8pm and 10pm in the evening. Since it is normally a short working period, breaks for the croupier are rarely planned. If it is absolutely necessary for a break, then Croupier Jobs appreciate that we are all human and it is possible to leave the table for natural essential bodily needs.

Prizes offered to the players are often of low value and whist we expect professional attention, we appreciate that mistakes occur because inspectors are not necessary to double check the prizes, and a lack of breaks can affect concentration.

Attire

Men

You will be expected to arrive in your own suitable "Black Tie" based attire; a dinner jacket with a white shirt and a black bowtie.

Women

You will be expected to arrive in either a suitable black dress or in a pair of black trousers, a white blouse and bowtie.

Rates of Pay and Travel Expenses

You will be expected to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the actual starting time of any event; this will allow a staff member to prior discuss any essential details with the croupier before you begin. This may include: minimum bets, blank chip values, food, drink arrangements and prize details that players often ask about.

Rates of pay for working on any basic casino games vary between approximately £50 and £60 for approximately 2-3 hours work.

Mileage is often only paid after you have travelled beyond 25 miles, and is paid at the rate of 10 to 20p per mile.

Any extra hours you will work after the first 3 are usually paid at £10 p/hour, and when working for more than 3 consecutive hours a break is usually included.

Knowledgeable Texas Hold Em Dealers tend to earn slightly more, usually starting at approximately £75; a policy Croupier Jobs initially introduced in 2003 when such skills were very rare and required that we trained croupier for the demand received at that time. Whilst supply has improved, so has demand; the premium here therefore still applies.

Tax

If you are not currently in any other kind of employment and you are unable to claim unemployment or low income benefits because you look after children full time, or that your household income is above the limit to receive such benefits, there is an Inland Revenue form available to declare that you do not earn above the basic allowance, and that you can legitimately earn up to £5225 for the 2007/08 tax year without any obligation to pay tax.

If you are able to take advantage of the above exemption, Croupier Jobs will require you to provide us with an invoice; usually we can provide a blank form to be completed on the night of work and payment is usually processed via the Bank Automated Clearance System (BACS) within 7 days; however, if you would prefer an alternative method of payment, Croupier Jobs are open to discussion and can usually accommodate to your preferences.

Your personal data

Details on this website are entered without any obligation. You can withdraw from our communications at any time you desire.

Finding you work

After you have registered your details with this site, Croupier Jobs will contact you with details about suitable offers of work submitted to us. If you agree to accept any work provided, Croupier Jobs will then notify the other party that you are willing to fulfil their request. Once the offer of work has been agreed to progress, we will then confirm that you are still willing to proceed, and once you have accepted we will then pass to you the full details of an event; at this point a formal booking has been arranged.

If after accepting the arrangement as described above, you later experience a problem with any changes to the specifications or become unavailable, then it is your responsibility to try and find your own replacement; if you cannot provide this then it is necessary to inform the booker of the event immediately in order to find an alternative. This becomes particularly difficult during the middle of December or New Years Eve, so it is important to ensure that you do not compromise your integrity for future bookings by cancelling something that could cause someone else a very difficult problem.

Your responsibilities with Croupier Jobs

Your own integrity is your own responsibility. Croupier Jobs appreciate that the unavoidable can happen, however in order to find you work consistently, we require a sense of reliability and composure throughout an offer.

If you expect to be late to an event, then you should make every effort possible to keep the booker of the event informed; if you arrive late the other party will have the right to adjust your rate of pay pro-rata. This means that if you are ½ an hour late for a 3 hour dealing time, 1/6th of the total wage can be deducted.

After the formal booking stage it will be both parties' responsibility to notify the other of any changes that may occur.
