How can we help you?

Due to the popularity of our Black Friday promotion, we're currently seeing a very high demand of orders to fulfil. This means it may take a few days longer for your order to be delivered. 

We’ll keep you updated by email/SMS as your order progresses. This also includes our delivery partners sending updates to you, so you know when to expect the delivery. 

Please note, we’re continuing to prioritise orders where customers have purchased a speedier delivery service but given the unprecedented volume of orders, these orders may also see delays during the fulfilment process.

Rest assured, we’re sure your order will be worth the wait and we thank you for your patience.

Yes, you can. But please be aware that it’s taking us longer than usual to confirm if stock has been reserved for you due to the popularity of our Black Friday promotion online and in stores. 

In some cases, this confirmation may not arrive on the same day.

To avoid disappointment - 

• We recommend you only use the Click & Reserve service if you don’t mind a wait during the Black Friday period – if you’re planning on visiting a store on the same day, it may just be better to arrive without a reservation, rather than expect a same-day Click & Reserve service.
• If you’ve used the Click & Reserve service please don’t arrive at the store prior to receiving a reservation confirmation. Our store team will only be able to follow up on your request once it’s been confirmed in the system.

Maybe. 

All of our Black Friday items and offers can be found online and in store. Please be aware that stock is selling fast during this promotion period.

If you can’t find an item or bundle you’ve seen before – this probably means the item or offer has since sold out and been removed from sale.

Our Customer Service teams do not have information about future stock, or upcoming promotions so we will not be able to give stock advice on specific products.

To avoid disappointment we would recommend you check back online regularly and opt into our marketing messages to avoid missing out on our current offers and promotions.

Payment authentication or 3D secure are fraud prevention initiatives launched by card issuers.

Verified by VISA (VbV) and MasterCard Secure Code (MSC) work in the same way, using passwords that you set up with the card provider to protect you when you shop online. You will then be required to enter your password during the payment process when you shop with us.

How do I activate my card?

You register your card on your card provider's site by selecting the option to set up payment authentication. You will be prompted to enter your card details and set a password. Once you have registered your card, when you shop online in the future you will only have to enter your password.

Who do I contact for further information?

If you require more information around the payment authentication process, please contact your card issuer directly.

If your card is rejected by our online payment processing system, please double check that all of the details entered are matching your billing information.

If you are sure you are using a valid card, please try again with the same credit or debit card or place the order again using a different card. If the problem persists, please contact your card provider.

We have no control over the payment authentication process so we will be unable to assist with any authentication inquiries.

Please note your order will only be processed once we have received authorisation from your payment card issuer to process the payment.

What is PayPal Credit?

PayPal Credit is like a credit card, without the plastic. It’s a credit limit that sits alongside your PayPal account which you can use for your online purchases.

What credit offers are available?

A 0% interest offer you can use again and again: PayPal Credit’s 0% interest offer is better than just an introductory offer. Every time you spend £99 or more, you will automatically get 0% interest for 4 months on that purchase. *

Monthly instalments are available from 6 to 24 months on purchases over £299. These instalment offers allow you to choose a set number of monthly payments.

* The minimum payment due still applies to 0% offer balances. Any remaining balance due after the 4-month promotional period or any transactions under £99 will be charged interest at 23.9% p.a. (variable). In order to maintain the 0% offer, you need to keep up monthly repayments and stay within your credit limit.

How do I apply?

Applying for PayPal Credit is easy. Just click on the PayPal Credit button on our checkout page.

The application form takes minutes to complete. PayPal will then run a credit check and, if approved, you’ll have a credit limit linked to your PayPal account as soon as you accept your Credit Agreement.

You can use the credit limit granted to pay for today's purchase and future purchases at thousands of online stores where PayPal is accepted, up to your credit limit.

Do I need to reapply if I already have PayPal Credit?

If you already have PayPal Credit you do not need to reapply, just select PayPal Credit as your payment option at checkout.

Do I need to have a PayPal account?

Yes, however, if you don’t have a PayPal account, you can create one as part of the PayPal Credit application.

Signing up for a PayPal account is free and easy; all you need to do is provide your email address, create a password and accept PayPal’s User Agreement.

What do I do if I am unsuccessful in applying for PayPal Credit?

If you have been declined for PayPal Credit, PayPal will send you more information about why your application was unsuccessful. You can still use PayPal to complete your purchase.

What happens if I want to return the item I bought using my PayPal Credit?

Just return your purchase as normal and the money will be refunded to your PayPal Credit account.

What is the cost of PayPal Credit outside of promotional offers?

The Representative Example below shows the typical costs of using a PayPal Credit limit, without using promotional offers:.

Representative Example

• Purchase rate 23.9% p.a. (variable)
• Representative 23.9% APR (variable)
• Assumed Credit Limit £1,200

Subject to status. Terms and conditions apply. Game Retail Limited acts as a broker and offers credit from PayPal. PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH.

Where can I use a GAME Gift Card?

You can use your gift card for full or part payment of any products (except pre-orders) on our website. The total will be taken from the balance on your gift card when you place your order.

If the total order value is less than the value of the gift card, any balance will remain on the card and can be applied to future purchases, provided that the card has not expired.

How do I use my Gift Card online?

Shop as usual on GAME.co.uk and then proceed to checkout. During checkout, you will be asked to enter 2 codes for each Gift Card you wish to use.

2. Enter the 4-digit PIN from your gift card (found under the scratch-off foil panel) 
3. Click Apply & continue the checkout process.

All pre-owned games sold online are cleaned and tested to ensure they are in full working order with no scratches. They are presented in the correct case and will include the manual wherever possible. Cases are cleaned or replaced if necessary.

For Pre-owned games sold in store, these are checked upon the point of trade in and go through a similar cleaning process.

Sadly No.

As many PC titles come with CD keys to play, this registers the copy of the game to a specific machine and can't be transferred. This essentially prevents us from being able to offer pre-owned PC games.

You can however get great value Digital PC titles here

Consoles, phones and devices we buy and sell are graded according to their cosmetic condition and whether any additional accessories are included.

• Grade A - "Nearly New"
  • Item is in brand new/unused condition
  • Original box and packaging in excellent condition (including all accessories and instructions)
  • Please note: The plastic seal will not be present as this will need to be removed for testing purposes.
• Grade B - "Good"
  • Item is in a good general condition, nothing more than slight cosmetic marks or scratches.
• Grace C - "Reasonable"
  • Item is in a reasonable condition, with some cosmetic marks or scratches.

No. All pre-owned games are checked at the time of trade-in, and only games that meet our quality standards - or can be reconditioned to meet them - will be accepted.

Unfortunately, the answer is usually no.

Some games have special content that can only be accessed by the original owner and can't be included when the game is traded in. For some games this extra content can be accessed by an 'online pass', but this can come with an extra charge from the publishers of the game to do so.

All of our Pre-owned consoles go through a thorough screening and testing process to make sure that they're up to our high gaming standards!

Each console is cleaned, refurbished and rigorously tested to make sure that they're as good as new; our team of technicians give each console a thorough cleaning, eliminating dust, damage, and any trace of the previous owner!

After that we repack each console into brand new custom-made boxes, complete with all the bits you'll need to get gaming straight away. So, when you buy Pre-owned consoles from GAME you can be sure that it will be a well-tested, high quality piece of hardware!

For pre-owned consoles sold from our store locations, these too would have been thoroughly tested as part of the trade in in process and are cleaned up and re-packaged ready for re-sale. 

If we don't have the original packaging, then a custom-made box will be used. As with mint (new) hardware, we ensure that consoles come with a controller and all the cables you need to get going.

What Products Can I Trade-In?

GAME accepts most consoles, games, and gaming accessories. However, trade-in items are always at the discretion of the Store Manager. For further information, we recommend visiting your local GAME Store.

Please note we no longer accept retro consoles and games (including PlayStation 2, GameCube, Game-boy, or older).

How Do I Trade-In in A Game Store?

1. Take the items you wish to trade in to store (please see below the ID that will be required)
2. Our friendly staff will check the condition of the items and test if required
3. They will then scan the items and give you a quote
4. If you are happy with the quote, the funds can be put on your GAME Wallet, a gift card, or against a purchase there and then.

Alternatively, you can use our online trade-in portal to send your items to us. 

What ID do I need to trade in?

For trade-in credit, a photo ID (a valid passport, driving license, military, or government recognized photo pass card)

Please note that some locations may require additional Identification due to local authorities rules.

What Checks Will You Make When I Trade-In My Console?

To make sure we can accept your console we perform a series of checks. It’s worth running through these yourself to ensure your console will pass the trading in checks to avoid any unexpected disappointment.

• Is unit in good condition?
• AV/HDMI Cable present and in good condition
• Power cable present and in good condition
• Appropriate hard drive present
• Controllers in good condition
• Does the unit power on?
• Does the controller connect to the hardware?
• Does the unit load disc-based software?
• Do all controller functions work?
• Does the unit play a movie discs? (if applicable)
• Are parental controls / pass-codes / security disabled?

Your Accessory care plan can be cancelled within 45 days of purchase, and you’ll receive a full refund, provided you have not used any services under the plan.

This question depends entirely on the terms of your home insurance. 

Care Plans are repair/replacement service agreements and not insurance. We do NOT cover for loss or theft. In general, home insurance will cover theft and mishap but not mechanical breakdown. Also there is usually an excess charge on a home insurance to any claims made. We do NOT charge any excess on any of the benefits of our plans.

A Care Plan protects your product against mishaps and includes all parts, labour and callout charges. A manufacturer’s warranty does not cover for mishaps, only mechanical breakdown.

Un-repairable items: A Care Plan will provide GAME vouchers to the value of a like-for-like replacement.

Once an agreement is coming to an end, we will send a letter around 6 weeks before it’s due to expire. We will include a quote for a 12-month extension. This will happen every year until the plan in no longer required.

No, we have no excess charges.

All GAME Care plans are only available to persons over the age of 18 years of age who are residents I the UK. Persons under the age of 18 years of age will need a parent or guardian to take out the plan on their behalf.

There’s no limit to the amount of repairs you can have. However, if we provide you with replacement equipment or vouchers, your plan will cease.

Pop into your local store with proof of purchase and we will swap out your broken accessory for the same item, a similar item or GAME vouchers.

If you do not have your proof of purchase, our in-store teams will be able to review your purchase history on your GAME reward account.

Your product is protected against mechanical breakdown or damage through mishap (other than cosmetic) and includes all parts, labour and callout charges.

If you’ve purchased your product from any GAME store or GAME.co.uk we give you 30 days to take out Breakdown Care, as long as your product hasn’t been damaged in the meantime.

• Your statutory rights will not be affected when you buy a policy. These include the right to claim a refund, repair, or replacement for up to six years (in Scotland it’s up to five years after you became aware, or could with reasonable diligence have become aware there was a problem) if your electrical goods were not of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose when they were sold to you.

Monthly Care is provided by Domestic & General Insurance PLC. Registered in England and Wales. Company No. 485850 Registered office: Swan Court, 11 Worple Road, Wimbledon, London SW19 4JS. Domestic & General Insurance PLC is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority (Financial Services Register Number 202111). Our address and details of our authorisation can be checked on the FCA website (https://register.fca.org.uk) or by contacting the FCA on 0800 111 6768. Domestic & General Insurance PLC is an insurance undertaking, not an intermediary. We are the underwriter of the insurance and do not provide a personal recommendation.

Monthly Care is only available to persons over 18 years of age who are residents of the UK. Persons under 18 years of age will need a parent or guardian to take out the policy on their behalf. Your product must have been bought from GAME (including GAME store and GAME.co.uk), be in good working order when the policy starts, and be used for personal and domestic purposes only.

You may still be able to get your product covered. If you’ve purchased your

product from any GAME store or GAME.co.uk we give you 30 days to take

out MONTHLY CARE, as long as your product hasn’t been damaged in the

meantime. Simply return to any GAME store with your original purchase receipt and a team member will help you.

If there’s a problem with your product, you can call us on 0800 597 8614 365 days a year. Or you can book and track repairs online with My Account (excluding mobile repairs) at www.domesticandgeneral. We will either arrange for a courier, at our cost, to collect your item; arrange for collection via a drop off point; or send you packaging, a returns form, instructions and a prepaid protective envelope. You will have to arrange and pay for the packaging of the item. While not a requirement, it is recommended that you use the item’s original packaging. For mobile phones you will need to tell us your item’s IMEI number (so please keep a note of this) and you must ensure that all blocks are removed from your item before you send it to us for repair. For theft claims you will need to contact the appropriate police authorities as soon as possible, requesting a crime reference number or police report. You should also contact your mobile network provider to block your SIM/IMEI Number. Once you have contacted us we will then send you a claim form.

*Calls may be recorded and monitored for quality and training purposes

If your product can't be fixed, you will receive a replacement of the same or similar specification or a GAME voucher towards a replacement. If you receive a replacement equipment or a GAME voucher, your policy will end. All you'd have to pay are applicable delivery charges.

•Extended cover does not have to be purchased at the same time as a domestic electrical good.

•Your MONTHLY CARE policy can be cancelled within 14 days of purchase, and you’ll receive a refund of any premium paid, provided you have not used any services under the policy.

•If we provide you with vouchers for a replacement, your policy will end.

•You should be advised that extended warranties are available from other high street outlets, insurance companies and other providers. Cover may also be available for limited periods on some appliances from your credit card provider. Some household contents insurance policies offer cover for accidental damage, fire or theft. You may, however, find that an excess is payable and a claim may affect the cost of the subsequent insurance premiums.

•Your policy documents will be sent to your delivery address within 14 days.

•Your statutory rights will not be affected when you buy a policy. These include the right to claim a refund, repair, or replacement for up to six years (in Scotland it’s up to five years after you became aware, or could with reasonable diligence have become aware there was a problem) if your electrical goods were not of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose when they were sold to you. After the first six months, you will have to prove that the goods had a fault when sold to you. For further information about your statutory rights contact the Citizens Advice Bureau: 03444 111 444.

•Domestic & General Insurance PLC is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. If we cannot meet our obligations to you under the policy, compensation may be available to cover these obligations. The compensation provides for 90% of any claim with no upper limit on the amount of the claim.

You can use your Monthly Care for accidental damage from day one of your cover. If your product has broken down due to a fault, your breakdown cover starts after the first 12 months as those are covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee (or GAME if your console is preowned).

Cooling off period – Changing your mind

The ‘cooling off period’ is the fourteen (14) day period from receipt of your documentation or from the policy start date, whichever is later. If you change your mind during the cooling off period, you can cancel your policy and you’ll receive a refund of any premium paid.

After the cooling off period

If you cancel your policy after the cooling off period, your policy will remain in place until the end of the period for which you have already paid and you will not receive

a refund.

How to cancel

If you wish to cancel your policy, please contact Domestic & General on

0800 597 8614. You can also cancel by using the cancellation form on their website,

or by writing to the address specified in the ‘Customer services details’ section. 

If we do not resolve your complaint internally to your satisfaction, you can refer it to your local Citizens Advice or an alternative complaints body such as The Retail Ombudsman (www.theretailombudsman.org.uk), should you wish to use such a scheme.

Please note, whilst, we are not bound by the dispute resolution procedure they operate as we are not a member of their organisation, we would, of course, cooperate to the extent we are able to do so with the complaints process they follow.

Digital Scams are growing in the UK and at GAME we want to stop this from happening.

What is a digital Scam?

A digital scam is where yourself or someone you know is taken advantage of by individuals looking for you to purchase digital cards such as Gift Cards, iTunes Cards or Steam cards and pay for them and then handover the codes to the fraudsters.  For example, have you recently had a cold call or E-Mail (note: scams are not limited to taking these forms) from someone asking you to pay them using digital credit (most commonly Steam and iTunes) stating any of the following: 

• You owe money to HMRC? 

• You owe money to a previous or current phone company? 

• You owe money for a previous PayPal or Gumtree purchase? 

• You owe money for previous shipping fees for a product? 

• You can donate steam, Amazon or iTunes vouchers towards sick on underprivileged children? 

• You have had an E-Mail or message from someone stating to be your line manager or above (CEO) to buy digital credit?

If you answered yes to any of the above you might be the victim of an attempted digital scam. Remember Apple (iTunes) and Steam gift cards can ONLY be used to purchase items direct from that company. If you're approached to use the cards for any other payment, you could very likely be the target of a scam. Do not provide the numbers on the back of the gift card to anyone that you don't know.

The FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) have a dedicated page where you can find out how to protect yourself from the most common types of scams. You can access the information here.
