Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Docks Magazine, we promote responsible gaming at Grosvenor Casino. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to use Grosvenor Casino services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and operate strict age verification procedures.
If you are under 18, please do not attempt to gamble. If you have concerns about a young person's gambling, contact GamCare (details below).
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

- Hiding Your Gambling: Being secretive about how much you gamble or how much money you spend
- Loss of Control: Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, family commitments, or other obligations due to gambling
- Spending More Than You Can Afford: Using money intended for bills, rent, or essentials to gamble

- Mood Changes: Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
- Unsuccessful Attempts to Quit: Trying to stop or reduce gambling but being unable to do so
