Responsible gambling information for land-based casinos

This guide never presents gambling as a way to make money or solve financial difficulty. Casino entry in Great Britain is strictly 18+. Hotel lobbies and restaurants may welcome younger guests; the gaming floor does not.

18+ only

Licensed casino gaming areas admit adults aged 18 and over. Proof of age may be requested at the door.

Risk is real

You can lose the money you stake. Outcomes are uncertain. Never gamble with money needed for rent, bills or food.

SENSE for venues

Land-based self-exclusion in Great Britain uses SENSE. Ask staff at a participating casino how to enrol.

GAMSTOP is online

GAMSTOP covers remote gambling. It is not a route to exclude yourself from a physical casino floor.

Age restriction

You must be 18 or over to enter a licensed casino gaming area. Hotels may welcome families in non-gaming spaces; the casino floor does not. If you are travelling with under-18s, ask the hotel which areas are suitable before you book.

Gambling involves risk

Casino games are designed so that, over time, the house holds an edge. That is entertainment with a cost — not an income plan, investment or shortcut out of debt. Set a limit before you play and treat losses as the price of the evening, not a debt to chase.

If gambling is how you expect to pay the bills, stop and speak to someone who can help — before the next stake. Responsible gambling · UK Casino Hotel Review
