Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At pcfgrouporders.co.uk, we believe gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gambling is only for those aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity at any time. If you are under 18, please do not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from friends, family, or partners
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Lying about the extent of your gambling
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Risk of losing important relationships or opportunities because of gambling
Self-Help Tools & Controls
Take control of your gambling with these tools:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you will deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders to check how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts
- Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period without closing your account
- Cooling-Off Period: Request a waiting period before reactivating your account after exclusion
If your chosen operator does not offer these tools, consider switching to one that does.
