Members Rules & Guidelines
The Delaware Pinball Collective Members & Guests Guide
1. Collective’s Purpose: The Delaware Pinball Collective is a private, non-profit membership driven club that promotes the hobby and sport of pinball and provides a wide variety of pinball machines for members to enjoy. We offer leagues, tournaments, casual play, and other events related to the pinball hobby. All of our games are set on Free Play, so no quarters needed!
2. Membership Dues: Monthly membership dues are $45 per person or $60 per family (up to 5 family members). Additional family members above 5 are $10 per member. A family is defined as immediate family members within the same household.
A twelve (12) month prepaid membership is available for $495 per person or $600 per family.
Once a yearly or monthly membership is acquired and paid, the membership is non-transferable nor able to be cancelled.
All Members must provide payment information to be kept on file to accommodate automatic recurring payments.
If you do not wish to continue your membership after the period you have already paid for, you must inform the Collective at least 7 days prior to the renewal period.

Regular business hours may vary but will be published on our website. Some special events such as tournaments will also be open to members. They will be listed on the website also.
All games will be set to free play, so membership dues cover the cost of playing the games.
