Responsible Gambling
Last updated: January 2026
The Kingsgate Hotel & Casino is committed to providing a safe, fair and enjoyable environment for all guests. Access to the casino lounge is strictly limited to individuals aged 18 years or older, and we encourage every guest to view gaming as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or resolve financial difficulties.
Our Age Policy
The casino lounge operates a zero-tolerance age policy. Valid, government-issued photographic identification is required from any guest wishing to enter the gaming floor, and identification will be checked on arrival for anyone who appears to be under the age of 25. Guests under 18 are not permitted on the casino floor under any circumstances, including when accompanied by an adult.
This website is intended for an audience of 18 years and older. If you are under 18, please leave this site immediately.
Gambling as Entertainment
We encourage guests to treat time spent on the casino floor as one part of an evening out, alongside dinner, drinks and conversation — not as an activity pursued in isolation or for extended periods. Consider setting yourself a personal budget and time limit before you begin, and stick to both regardless of how the evening unfolds.
Signs to Watch For
- Spending more time or money on gaming than you originally planned
- Feeling that you need to gamble to feel comfortable or to relax
- Borrowing money or using funds set aside for other purposes
- Hiding the extent of your gaming activity from friends or family
- Chasing losses in an attempt to win back money already spent
If any of the above feels familiar, we would encourage you to take a break and speak with someone you trust, or reach out to one of the independent support organisations listed below.
Support Resources in the United Kingdom
A number of independent, national organisations offer free and confidential advice and support around gambling behaviour. We recommend guests based in the United Kingdom get in touch directly with organisations such as GamCare, the National Gambling Helpline, and BeGambleAware for information, self-exclusion options and support services. These organisations operate independently of The Kingsgate Hotel & Casino.
Self-Exclusion
Guests who wish to exclude themselves from the casino lounge, temporarily or permanently, may do so by speaking confidentially with the hotel's duty manager or by contacting us using the details on our Contact page. All such requests are treated with discretion.
