Responsible Gaming

Last Updated: 2026

Introduction

At mypcdoc.co.uk, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming. Gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction) to use our services. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of identity. Gambling by anyone under the legal age is prohibited.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following warning signs, problem gambling may be developing:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money
• Hiding or lying about the extent of your gambling
• Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting personal, work, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Gambling with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Most licensed casinos offer self-help tools to support responsible gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you can lose over a set period
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications at regular intervals to remind you of time spent gambling
• Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a temporary break from gambling (hours or days)
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling for a set period (weeks, months, or years)

We recommend using these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
