Registering At The Portland Street Casino
You can get yourself set up with Genting Casino Manchester City Centre in two simple ways: sort the My Genting membership online before you leave home, or walk into the Portland Street venue and register at the desk. Both routes end in the same place. Which one feels better really comes down to whether you are nearby anyway or prefer to have everything done in advance.
Important point at the start: you are not blocked at the door without membership. Genting Manchester runs an open-door approach, so guests can just arrive and walk in. However, registration is free and it unlocks offers, access to the My Genting app, and some members-only perks that casual visitors never see. Our team generally prefers getting it ticked off before the first visit instead of filling out forms at the entrance.
The casino sits at 110-114 Portland Street, Manchester, M1 4RL. Doors open every day from 10am and the venue runs through to 6am. Live table games start from midday. You must be at least 18 to enter, and door staff will check ID - that is not a polite request, it is built straight into how UK-licensed casinos are supposed to operate.
Creating Your My Genting Account Online
If you want everything ready before you go into the city centre, setting up a My Genting account on gentingcasinos.co.uk is usually the cleanest route. The flow is fairly standard for a casino membership signup.
- Go to gentingcasinos.co.uk
- Look for the membership or sign up area in the main menu, or click through from the Manchester venue page
- Open the online registration form
- Type in your full name, date of birth, home address and an email you can access
- Create a password that is not easy to guess
- Send the form and then open your inbox for the verification message
- Use the confirmation link in that email to switch the account on
- Upload a photo ID - normally a valid passport or UK driving licence - so they can verify who you are
After that step, you are able to connect the account to a physical My Genting card. This card is the bit that ties what you do on the floor at Genting Casino Manchester to your online profile, and it is also what unlocks the full set of features in the app. Without the card, the app runs in a kind of limited mode.
One small piece of advice from our team: when you set up any new casino membership online, always use an email address you check at least a few times a week. Confirmation links love to land in junk folders and digging around for them when you are trying to get out the door is frustrating.
Signing Up In Person
For plenty of first-time visitors, doing everything at the reception desk just feels simpler. The team at the venue do this all day, they are used to explaining the process in plain terms and getting people sorted quickly.
- Turn up at 110-114 Portland Street during opening hours (10am to 6am daily)
- Go over to the reception or membership desk just inside the entrance
- Let the staff know you want to join the My Genting membership scheme
- Pass them your photographic ID - usually passport or driving licence
- Complete the registration form they provide, this might be on a tablet or on paper
- You are then given your My Genting card or a clear confirmation that your membership is live
- From 12pm onwards, the main gaming floor is available for live tables
If you already have the My Genting app sitting on your phone, staff can normally help link the fresh membership with it straight away. If you want to be extra sure about anything - maybe timings or ID requirements - you can call the venue on +44 (0)161 228 0077 before you set off.
