The Destination

"The UAE is the most exciting new market for our industry in decades."

Craig Billings — CEO, Wynn Resorts

The UAE is opening its first regulated casino in Q1 2027 — a $5.1 billion integrated resort on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The first of what is expected to become the world's newest major gaming destination.

For players, the opportunity extends beyond the tables. The UAE has zero income tax. The Golden Visa offers 2–10 year residency. Direct flights connect every major European and Asian city. The infrastructure is being built now.

FAQ

Common questions.
Straight answers.

What is Felt Members Club?

Felt is the private Members Club for poker and casino players coming to UAE. We provide negotiated accommodation, visa management, airport transfers, concierge services and a private network of verified players — everything a serious player needs before they arrive.

When does the UAE casino open?

The first regulated casino in UAE is scheduled to open in Q1 2027 on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah — a $5.1 billion integrated resort. A second casino in Abu Dhabi has a licence application pending.

Do I need a visa to visit UAE?

EU, UK, USA, Canadian and Australian passport holders enter UAE visa-free for up to 90 days. Other nationalities may require a tourist or business visa. Felt manages the full process for all visa types, including the Golden Visa for long-term residency.

What is the UAE Golden Visa for players?

The UAE Golden Visa provides 2–10 year residency. UAE has zero income tax — resident players pay no tax on their winnings. For a player spending 2–3 months a year in RAK, the residency question is not exotic. It is straightforward arithmetic. Felt manages the full process for Inner Game and Inner Circle members.

How does the concierge service work?

Inner Game members receive a dedicated concierge reachable by WhatsApp with a guaranteed 4-hour response. Inner Circle members have a named concierge available 24/7 on a direct line. Your concierge manages accommodation, transfers, visas and any in-country request.

What are empty legs and how do I access them?

Empty legs are repositioning flights where private jets fly without passengers — typically 60–80% below standard charter rates. Inner Circle members receive first access. A London–Dubai empty leg can be accessed for $8,000–15,000 versus $45,000+ for a standard charter.

Can I upgrade my membership later?

Yes. Members can upgrade at any time and pay only the difference in annual fee. We recommend starting at the tier that matches your current needs — the network and rates alone at The Table level typically recover the cost before your first UAE trip ends.

Is there a refund policy?

Founding memberships include a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If Felt does not deliver on its core commitments within that period, we will issue a full refund — no questions asked. Full terms at feltmembers.com/terms.html
