Safer play

Responsible gambling information for land-based casino visits

Calm evening river scene

Casino floors are strictly 18+

In Great Britain you must be 18 or over to enter a licensed casino. Hotels and restaurants on the same property may welcome families under their own policies, but the casino floor does not. Operators use age checks, including Challenge 25 approaches at some venues.

Gambling involves risk and can become harmful

Gambling is not a way to make money, clear debts or solve financial difficulty. Only spend what you can afford to lose. If play stops feeling like entertainment, stop and seek help.

Warning signs to take seriously

  • Spending more time or money than you planned, or chasing losses.
  • Borrowing money or using household funds to gamble.
  • Hiding play from family or feeling anxious when not gambling.
  • Neglecting work, study or relationships because of gambling.

These signs are prompts to seek professional advice. This site does not offer a homemade quiz that claims to diagnose a gambling problem. Use the self-assessment tools published by GamCare and GambleAware instead.

Self-exclusion for land-based casinos: SENSE

Licensed land-based casinos in Great Britain take part in SENSE (Self Enrolment National Self Exclusion). Enrolling excludes you from participating casino venues nationwide. You can enrol online via the SENSE portal or by speaking to a manager at a participating casino.

GAMSTOP covers online gambling only. It must not be treated as a way to self-exclude from a physical casino. If you gamble both online and in venues, use the relevant scheme for each channel.
