Greg’s Palace sees online gaming/gambling as a legitimate
form of entertainment that is enjoyed by millions worldwide.
However, while most players share in the fun and excitement,
we realize that a small percentage of players could be underage
or might have allowed gambling to assume too large a role
in their life. |

As said before many participate in gaming/gambling as a
form of recreation, to some people gambling can become psychologically
addictive and cause harmful behaviour. Addiction is a compulsive
need. What starts as a pleasurable experience turns into
an uncontrollable destructive craving. When the thrill of
the game outweighs everything else, the player has crossed
over the line from player to addict. Gambling, like all
addictions can be devastating for the person and his family.
