The Stronghold By The Numbers
What we run
Programs Built For Every Kind Of Player
From casual after-work sessions on Little Collins Street to sponsored competitive circuits, every program feeds your Gaming Bonus balance.
Gaming Bonus Season Pass
A rolling 3-month pass that rewards every visit. Earn bonus credits on cabinet play, redeem them for free hours, snacks and exclusive Stronghold merch. Credits stack across the season with no weekly reset.
VIP Bonus Membership
Skip the queue with reserved LAN pods, priority tournament seeding and a 2x VIP Bonus multiplier on every credit earned. Includes a dedicated lounge on the mezzanine and complimentary barista coffee.
Tournament Circuit Entry
Weekly ranked ladders across fighting, FPS and retro categories. Entry fees roll into a prize pool, and finalists bank a hefty Gaming Bonus top-up. Open to members and drop-in challengers alike.
Private Raid Nights
Book the Southbank room for up to 24 players — birthdays, studio launches or corporate team-builds. Includes a host, catering from Carlton kitchens and a custom Gaming Bonus voucher pack for guests.

What Members Say
Real players, real Gaming Bonus wins.
“My VIP Bonus multiplier paid for itself in the first fortnight. The reserved pods on Friday nights mean I never wait, and the mezzanine coffee is genuinely good.”
“I walked in for a casual session and left hooked. The Gaming Bonus credits stacked up so fast I got a free tournament entry by week three. Won my bracket too.”
“We booked a private raid night for our studio launch. Twenty-four of us, catered, hosted, and everyone went home with a bonus voucher. Best team night we’ve run.”
