The small print that actually bites
- Prizes are coins, passports, tickets and goods. The venue is not built as a cash payer.
- Copy that says “expected player-contract fulfilment” is sponsor-side language. Do not read it as a house-guaranteed prize pool.
- LINE coupons are store- and date-bound. The spring 2025 Shibuya ¥500 lottery is not automatically live today.
- Chip cash-out fees are tiered. Leaving with a short stack makes the session feel more expensive.
- No published list of excluded payment rails. Ask the cage about cards / PayPay.
- There is no sticky casino bonus. What you paid to enter that flight stays paid.

Late-reg time is the real number. - Read the prize column
Coins, weekly passports, SPADIE, goods. No cash column. - Treat “player-contract” copy as sponsor-side
The room is not guaranteeing a cash pool. - Satellites: count tickets
JOPT example: 15 tickets guaranteed, split among the top. - Register
Booking. Walk-in policy is local.
