18+ on the casino floor
Licensed UK casinos require customers to be aged 18 or over, with valid photographic ID. Hotel lobbies, restaurants and guest rooms may welcome other ages where the hotel’s own policy allows — that is separate from gaming areas. Always ask the hotel if you are travelling with children or young people.
Where to get help
If gambling is no longer enjoyable, stop and talk to someone who can help.
Self-exclusion for land-based venues
For land-based casinos in Great Britain, ask venues about SENSE (Self-Enrolment National Self-Exclusion) multi-operator self-exclusion. That is the scheme relevant to physical casino floors.
GAMSTOP is for remote (online) gambling. It is not the correct tool for excluding yourself from land-based casinos covered in this guide. Use the right scheme for the product you need to leave behind.
Staff at licensed casinos should be able to explain local self-exclusion options. You can also speak to GamCare for guidance.
Safer habits
- Set a money and time limit before you start — and keep it
- Do not chase losses
- Do not gamble when upset, intoxicated or pressured
- Take breaks; leave the floor if play stops being fun
- Remember: the house edge means most players lose over time
- Do not treat gambling as income or debt repayment
- Do not borrow to gamble
- Do not leave children unsupervised while visiting a casino hotel
