How CanIBring works
- 1We read the official rules
Visitor regulations, FAQs and PDF rulebooks published by each venue — not blogs or forums.
- 2We never guess
If a venue doesn't state a rule, we show Not specified instead of making one up.
- 3You check the source
Every page links the exact source and the date we last checked it. Rules change — confirm before you go.
