Casino Hire Party

Casino nights are big business. They’re popular for all sorts of events and occasions. But if you’re a UK resident, you have to abide by the Gambling Act of 2005, so make sure you know what it says before putting on your night.

At its most basic level, the act establishes that gambling is only allowed to be hosted by licensed proprietors via remote technologies (television and the internet being the main examples) and/or on licensed premises. The act also set up the Gambling Commission of Great Britain to regulate the gambling industry.

So do you need to know? Well, if you’re going to put on a gambling night for your corporate event, party or fundraiser, you must not use real money outside of a casino or other licensed premises. Under 18s are also prohibited from gambling under any circumstances.

With this in mind, so-called ‘Fun Casinos’ can be a lot more appropriate. They can be booked for any event  and offer the advantages of no age restriction, and a reduced pressure environment meaning your guests may even have a better time. Fun casinos only use fake money, everyone gets to play the games, but no one loses. Most companies offering ‘Fun Casinos’ will provide everything for you, including croupiers, games, themes and entertainment. For a full list of services for themes for parties see: partycasinohire.co.uk

If you’re putting on a casino night for a fundraiser, you will most likely have sold tickets to the event and want to offer some sort of incentive for your guests having bought them. Since the chips at a fun casino night cannot be exchanged for real money, a good idea is to give out prizes to the winners in place of the money they would have won playing roulette. Be careful not to spend all the ticket money on prizes though – it is meant to be for charity after all!

If you are outside of England, Scotland and Wales then the Gambling Act (2005) doesn’t apply to you. However, this type of gambling legislation is very common, so make sure you know what the law is in  your area before putting on your night.

For UK residents, more details on this act can be found in the government’s explanatory notes at: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2005/en/ukpgaen_20050019_en_1.htm

Casino hire is a great new innovative way to fundraise for your chosen charity, PTA, club or association. One of the main problems with fundraising is that people don’t always feel that they know what their money is actually going towards and therefore don’t always feel part of the charity or club.

Casino hire is a totally new fun experience for people to enjoy whilst at the same time contributing to worthy charities or organisations. There are great offers on right now of £200 free promotional equipment if a booking is made with 2 tables or more. This would be an ideal opportunity for the charity or organisation to advertise their goals and aims for the fundraisers to see and hence let them know exactly what their money would be spent on.

The whole experience will be a positive one leaving the fundraisers feeling like the money they gave was well worth it just from the experience of the day (especially if they get to live there ultimate fantasy and become James Bond for a night!!)
