Our mission
Built for players who treat the leaderboard like a second home
We opened CrimsonSiegeKeep in 2019 above a bookshop in Darlinghurst with six PCs and one rule: reward the people who keep the room alive. Today the Keep runs high-refresh rigs, console couches and a tournament stage, and every hour of play feeds a Gaming Bonus wallet you actually get to spend. Our VIP Bonus ladder turns loyal regulars into house legends with priority seating, private rooms and first drops on new titles.
Earn as you play
Every session on the floor adds to your Gaming Bonus wallet — redeemable on hours, snacks and event seats.
A room, not a chatroom
Face-to-face lobbies in the heart of Sydney, from casual co-op couches to a 32-seat tournament stage.
Loyalty that levels up
The VIP Bonus ladder unlocks private booths, early tournament entry and members-only late nights.
The crew
The people who run the Keep
A small, obsessive team of hosts, casters and technicians who keep the rigs sharp and the community sharper.
Deacon Ng
Head of Play
Balances the tournament calendar and tunes every battlestation. Ask him for a controller re-map and he already did it.
Priya Kaur
VIP Bonus Concierge
Looks after members on the VIP ladder — private rooms, early drops and the good chair by the window.
Tomas Bright
Events & Casting
Casts the Friday brackets and produces the Keep Cup. Loudest voice in Darlinghurst on a grand-final night.
