Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Way to Make Money
At Greggs Prices, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming. Betting and casino games should only ever be viewed as entertainment, not as a method to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
If you choose to participate in betting activities through BetMGM or any other operator, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble or access gambling services.
By using BetMGM or any other betting platform, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction and have not been excluded from gambling services.
