Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At pgfry.co.uk, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed purely as entertainment. It is important to understand that gambling is not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are games of chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble as a means of generating income.
Age Verification
We are committed to preventing underage gambling. You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to use our services. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with local laws. We reserve the right to verify your age and identity at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your gambling behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover losses by gambling more or with larger stakes
- Hiding Gambling: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family, friends, or partners

Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
Most reputable operators provide tools to help you maintain control. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you are willing to lose over a set timeframe
- Session Time Limits: Automatically end your gaming session after a predetermined duration
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you have been gambling and how much you have spent
- Self-Exclusion: Take a break from gambling by self-excluding from an operator for a set period (ranging from days to years)
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
