The Terms of Use
- By activating your G1 and using any of its products or services, you are agreeing to be bound by:
- In the event of any inconsistency, the G1 Terms and Conditions will prevail. The terms, conditions and policies referred to in clause 4 are together the ‘G1 Terms of Use’.
- The G1 Terms of Use or any part of them may be updated from time to time. We will seek to notify you of any material updates by e-mail, but it is your responsibility to routinely familiarise yourself with the G1 Terms of Use. The current G1 Terms of Use are available in-Club and on the Website. Your use of your G1 will be deemed to be acceptance of the latest G1 Terms of Use.
Your Responsibilities
- You agree that you:
- Have the mental and legal capacity to take responsibility for your actions and to enter into and comply with the G1 Terms of Use;
- Will not gamble with us unless you are in a fit state of mind to do so and are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs (whether legal, prescribed or otherwise);
- Are at least 18 years of age and are acting for yourself for your own private use and not on behalf of anyone else;
- Will only have one G1 which you will only use for lawful purposes and in a lawful manner and not in a way that could be considered discriminatory, defamatory, abusive or obscene or which could cause offence;
- Are using your own funds that you can afford to gamble with or funds you are expressly entitled to use for gambling;
- Are not an undischarged bankrupt or the subject of bankruptcy proceedings (or its equivalent in any other jurisdiction);
- Have not previously held an account with us or with any other gambling operator (in both cases whether online or in any venue) which was suspended or terminated due to your wrongdoing;
- Do not have problem gambling issues, you have not excluded yourself from gambling with us and have not registered with any national self-exclusion schemes;
- Will provide such additional information about yourself as we may reasonably require;
- Do not work for any member of the Rank Group or any of their associated companies or suppliers of gaming equipment or services;
- Will keep your G1 pin secure; and
- Will inform us of any changes to your status or the information you have provided to us such that the statements in this clause 7 and the information you have provided remains true, correct and complete at all times.
Verification, storage and use of your personal information
- By activating your G1 you agree that we and any third party agencies that we appoint may conduct verification checks of your personal details. To do so we and our agencies may check your details against any database (public or otherwise) and may record, retain, use and disclose such information. Our agencies may use your details in the future to assist other companies for verification purposes. We may use your details in accordance with the G1 Terms of Use including our in-Club and Website Privacy Policies.
Responsible Gambling and Self-Exclusion
- We encourage you to play responsibly and within your financial means. We encourage you to use the features available in your G1, including setting a deposit limit and, for Website, our reality checks (such as an hourly reminder of time spent on the site) and our take a break facility (a period of self-exclusion from 1 day upwards). We also urge caution with the use of ‘windfall’ amounts (such as a compensation payment, inheritance or pension pot); where such a sum is needed to provide ongoing financial support, please do not gamble with it.
- If you wish to take an enforced break from gaming, you can request that we prevent you from accessing your G1. You may make such a request by contacting our customer services through any of the methods listed in clause 13 or by speaking to a member of staff in-Club or utilising our Website feature for self-exclusion. Please include your full name, address, username and date of birth in your contact with us and please also tell us the reason why you wish to self-exclude.
- Use of this self-exclusion facility will result in your account being blocked for a minimum of six months. We will return any withdrawable balance of your account to you and we will not accept wagers from your account during this period. During the period in which you are excluded, you must not attempt to re-open your account or try to open new accounts. At your discretion your self-exclusion may apply to all of our Grosvenor clubs and/or all of our websites, including www.grosvenorcasinos.com and www.meccabingo.com. We will undertake reasonable checks to identify and block any accounts which we find under your name, date of birth and address, however it is your responsibility to notify us if an account may exist which does not match these exact details.
- If you do feel that you have a gambling problem, self-exclusion is advisable but should be used in conjunction with other self-help measures, such as seeking help and guidance from Gamcare (gamcare.org.uk). Please be aware that it is ultimately your own responsibility to uphold a self-exclusion, but we will make all reasonable efforts to stop you playing on the account from which you have excluded. However, should you manage to gain access in-Club or open a new account by using different personal details of any kind, we will not be responsible for any losses you may subsequently incur as a result of your circumvention of the self- exclusion process and we may also withhold any winnings.
- We operate self-exclusion on a channel basis; you have the option to exclude yourself from either the clubs, or the website, or both channels. These options can be found on our website. Note that we may take up to 72 hours to process and action your request from the point of submission
Customer Services
- If you have any questions about these G1 Terms of Use or your G1, including a lost or forgotten pin number, or if you wish to make a complaint please contact Customer Services and they will be happy to help you. You can reach Customer Services using any of the following:

Deposits, withdrawals and protection of funds
- Deposits to or withdrawals from your G1 on the Website will be governed by the Website Terms of Use.
- Funds may be deposited to your G1 in-Club in the following ways:
- At the Cash Desk by cash, debit card (which must belong to you and be registered in your name), chips, gaming plaques, verified winners cheques and TITO (ticket-in ticket-out);
- Cash deposited via slots or electronic roulette (together ‘Gaming Machines’); and
- Via a TITO ticket inserted into a Gaming Machine.
- Transfers of funds to or from your G1 at a Cash Desk or via a Gaming Machine will need to be validated with your pin number.
- The minimum amount of funds that can be deposited to your G1 is £5. Interest is not payable on your G1 balance.
- You can make withdrawals from your G1 up to your current available balance subject to the following terms and conditions:
- Withdrawals may be obtained from your G1 at the Cash Desk. The amount of funds that can be withdrawn is determined by the Club’s operational withdrawal limit and your customer status. For security purposes you may be requested to provide suitable proof of ID.
- You may withdraw in excess of the Club’s operational limits by contacting our Customer Services team. Such requests will be subject to security checks. It may take up to 48 hours after these security checks for funds to be made available for collection in-Club.
- For security purposes, you may be requested to provide suitable proof of ID in-Club. Please note that debit card or e- wallet deposits to your G1 may not be accessed or withdrawn in-Club. We may also apply restrictions in-Club on withdrawal of deposits made by debit card via the Website.
- We reserve the right to charge a processing fee of not more than £5 for bank transfer withdrawals. A transfer will only be made to an account in your name and such account must be held in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland or Gibraltar. Where you are requesting a bank transfer for the first time, we will require proof of identity to be provided.
- You may only make deposits and withdrawals into your G1 for the purpose of using the G1 in good faith and for the purpose for which it is provided and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your G1 in the event that we suspect that you are using it for any other purpose. We may also be required by law or any relevant authority to report any such activity and to act in accordance with that authority's directions in relation to your G1 and the funds in it.
- The Rank Group Plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Funds at least equal to the value of active customer balances are held in a designated bank account separated from our business accounts to ensure that there are always sufficient funds for customers to withdraw their balances at any time. We hold such sums on trust for our customers for the sole purpose of enabling them to either withdraw their balance or to spend it with us.
This means that steps have been taken to protect your funds in the event of insolvency but that there is no absolute guarantee that all funds will be repaid. This meets the Gambling Commission’s requirements for the segregation of customer funds at the medium level of protection. Further information about the protection of customer funds can be found at https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-and-players/guide/page/information-on-customer-funds-your-money.
Use of G1 in-Club
- You can use your G1 in-Club to:
- deposit or withdraw funds at a Cash Desk;
- transfer funds (in multiples of whole pounds only) to a Gaming Machine or cash out from a Gaming Machine; and
- deposit in-Club winnings (please note these winnings would need to be verified before being used on the Website, which may take up to 24 hours).
Bonusing
- If as part of a promotion or competition that you take part in, we credit an amount to your G1 (a ‘Bonus’) then the following rules apply (in addition to the promotion or competition rules):
- the wagering requirements for the Bonus will be set out in the promotion or competition rules;
- you can only use the Bonus for placing wagers in-Club and/or Website as set out in the promotion or competition rules;
- you can only spend the Bonus after you have spent the cash in your account;
- when placing a wager that uses a combination of cash and Bonus funds, any winnings generated from that wager will be credited proportionately to your cash and bonus balances;
- if you do not satisfy the minimum wagering requirements within the timescale specified (or if no period is specified, 30 days after the Bonus was added to your G1) or seek to withdraw any funds prior to doing so, then the Bonus balance (including winnings from Bonus wagers) will be forfeited; and
- if you accept more than one Website Bonus then the wagering requirements may be combined (as to wagering target and/or expiry).
- If in any doubt please contact customer services for confirmation.
