In the United Kingdom it is illegal for someone who is under 18 years of age to gamble.
Gala Bingo is fully aware of its responsibility to prevent persons under the minimum permitted age gambling by accessing its gambling activities.
We make it crystal clear in our Terms and Conditions and in our Responsible Gambling microsite, and in the account registration process, that underage gambling is illegal, and that it will carry out verification checks to ensure that all account holders are at least 18 years of age.
We may also undertake a search with a third party for the purpose of verifying that you are 18 or over and we also inform potential customers that documents may be required to verify the customer’s age and identity.
Further information provided by Gala Bingo in its webpages as regards underage gambling includes:
- Notifying parents of filtering software available that can monitor or restrict access to material that is inappropriate for youngsters, and provides links in the Responsible Gambling microsite to the websites that provide this software
- Requiring new registrants to affirm they are of legal age to gamble when they register
- Logos (at the footer of all webpages, and the account registration page) specifying that the minimum age for gambling is 18, with links to this Responsible Gambling Microsite with information as regards underage gambling
