Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Grosvenor Casino, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risks and should only be enjoyed with money you can afford to lose.
We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing support to our players. Please read the information below to understand how you can gamble safely and responsibly.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to participate in gambling activities. Grosvenor Casino takes age verification seriously and reserves the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under 18, you must not gamble. Gambling is not suitable for young people and can cause serious harm to their development and wellbeing.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of the following warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Being secretive about how much you gamble or how much money you've spent
- Gambling with money you can't afford to lose: Using money meant for bills, rent, food, or other essentials
- Loss of control: Gambling longer or with more money than you intended
- Gambling to escape problems: Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other feelings
- Neglecting relationships and responsibilities: Spending less time with family or friends, or missing work/study obligations
- Borrowing money to gamble: Using loans, credit cards, or asking others for money to fund your gambling
- Failed attempts to stop: Wanting to stop or cut down but being unable to do so
- Irritability when unable to gamble: Becoming anxious or moody when you can't access gambling
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools and Limits
Grosvenor Casino provides several tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose before you stop gambling
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders and automatic logoff after a certain period of play
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during your gaming session to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from Grosvenor Casino and other gambling operators through the National Self-Exclusion Scheme (GamStop)
These tools are designed to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use them if you feel your gambling may be becoming problematic.
