About us

The Room

You go all in. We go all out.

At PlayLive Melbourne, we built the room we always wanted to play in.

Melbourne's first dedicated poker destination was created by players, for players — a space designed with intention and respect for the game. Every detail, from the design of the room to the evolving structure of our tournaments, reflects our commitment to the community. Whether you're here to sharpen your skills or simply enjoy the game, this is where poker truly belongs.

Who runs it

Built by players. For the players. Backed by purpose.

Founded by Bridges Robinson Roe and Josh Abady, and backed by industry specialists, PlayLive Melbourne exists to give poker players the home they deserve. Bridges and Josh bring years of business operations experience and player-first thinking. Together, they have created a venue that does not just host games — it elevates them.
