Gambling With Friends
Whether you play with Mecca Bingo or Grosvenor Casinos, and whether you play online, via mobile or in one of our land-based bingo clubs or casinos, we believe that gambling is something that adults should enjoy as part of their wider leisure entertainment choices.
This web site has therefore been designed to help you Keep it Fun. We believe that playing responsibly is not just for those who have a gambling problem or are perhaps most at risk of developing one. It is the best approach for EVERYONE who wishes to gamble as part of their leisure experiences.
However, it also offers information on where to find help and advice if you feel that you are not in control of your gambling and need specialist help and support or if you are a concerned friend or family member.
The pages on this website provide information on:
- ways to ensure that you always keep gambling fun and in perspective, as part of your wider leisure activities.
- the types of behaviours to be aware of in yourself, that might help you identify whether you are at risk of developing a gambling problem.
- the control measures that we can provide to help you limit the amount of money or time that you spend gambling with us.
- ways to help you stop gambling altogether, if this is the best way to help you stay in control, such as self-exclusion.
- contact information for support agencies, such as GamCare, Gordon Moody Association and the National Problem Gambling Clinic who can offer specific counselling, help, advice or treatment for those with an existing gambling problem.
Poker is one of the most prominent games present in gambling that adds a refreshing touch to your day with its practice. It is a wonderful practice to preach.
- Helping Friends and Family. If you are concerned about the gambling behaviour of a friend or family member, don't hesitate and help them get the support they need.
- Gambling with friends can be done against each other, like for example Poker or Backgammon, but also together, on one or more slots for example.
To ensure that you are able to obtain the specific help and information that relates to you, please select one of the options on the right for either online or land-based gambling. If you are a friend or family member who have concerns about problem gambling, details of the help that is available can be found here.
