Getting to Know You

Here at Mecca Bingo, we want to make sure that playing with us always stays as fun as possible, so occasionally we’ll need to check that you’re only spending with us what you can comfortably afford. One of the ways that we’re committed to operating responsibly is to confirm where our players’ funds are coming from. This is also a requirement of the The Gambling Commission. Any information we ask you to complete will help us ensure that you’re not spending more with us than you can afford to, and that the time you spend gaming with us is always enjoyable.

You might have received an email from us asking for some documents and information, Don’t worry – we only ask for what we need to verify your account and would never share any of your sensitive financial information with any third parties.

We want you to recognise when you’re receiving a genuine email from us, so we’ll never ask you to email your documents over directly.
