Underage Gambling

Underage gambling is illegal. It is a criminal offense for anyone under the age of 21 to open an account and gamble. You must be at least 21 years old to register an online account with Virgin Casino and play our games.

In order to ensure that minors do not play, we require all members to confirm their name, address, social security number, and date of birth during the account registration process. We perform an electronic verification using a third party data reference company to validate the age and identity of all members. This is a not a credit check, it simply helps confirm your identity. Your account registration will not be activated unless your date of birth and identity details have been confirmed and verified.

Gambling under the age of 21 years old or facilitating someone under the age of 21 years old to gamble is a criminal offense. For anyone found to be under the age of 21 years old, all bets placed will become null and void and any winnings forfeited. Other legal ramifications may also apply.

Account holders are responsible for configuring their device's auto-lock feature to protect the terminal from unauthorized use. If you share your device with friends or family who are under the legal age to register and place bets on our site, you can use these third party applications which offer parents and guardians a way to monitor and restrict the use of the computer's access to the Internet: www.icra.org, www.netnanny.com or www.cyberpatrol.com
