PC Lock — self-service PCs

Gaming PC Locking Software

Stop free play at the source. PC Lock, GameBiller’s Windows agent, locks each gaming PC behind a login screen — customers sign in with mobile and password, prepaid time deducts live, and the PC locks again when it runs out.

What you get with GameBiller

🔒 Full-screen kiosk lock

An idle PC shows only the lock screen — no desktop, no games, no browsing without login.

⏳ Real-time deduction

The server deducts the gamer’s prepaid hours as they play; the agent never controls billing.

🛡 Escape-proofing

Alt+Tab, Win-key and similar shortcuts are blocked at the lock screen; a watchdog restarts a killed agent.

🪟 Works on Windows Home

User-mode locking runs on the everyday Windows editions cafes already own.

📟 Remote control

Force-lock, force-logout or unlock any PC from the dashboard without walking over.

🔁 Self-updating agents

Installed agents pick up new versions automatically — no per-PC reinstalls each release.

Why cafes lock their PCs

Every unattended, unlocked PC is a free-play invitation. PC Lock converts your fleet into self-service prepaid seats: no login, no play; no balance, no play. Staff stop policing chairs and the dashboard shows every PC’s state live.

Common questions

How do I lock gaming PCs so nobody plays without paying?

Install GameBiller’s PC Lock agent on each Windows PC and pair it with a 6-digit code. The PC then shows a full-screen lock until a registered gamer logs in with mobile and password; their prepaid hours deduct in real time and the PC locks again at zero balance.

Can gamers bypass the lock with Alt+Tab or Task Manager?

Common escape shortcuts are blocked while the lock screen is showing, per-user restrictions apply during sessions, and a watchdog restarts the agent if it is killed — a strong deterrent layered with your normal floor supervision.

Do I need Windows Pro for PC locking?

No. PC Lock uses user-mode techniques that work on Windows Home as well as Pro — the PCs most cafes already run.

What happens if the internet drops during a session?

A running session continues offline against its already-allocated time, the PC locks when that time is used up, and everything syncs when the connection returns.

Does the lock work on Windows Home?

Yes. The agent runs entirely in user mode and does not require Windows Pro or domain policies, so it works on the Home editions most gaming cafes actually run.

Can a determined user still get past it?

Honestly, Ctrl+Alt+Del cannot be blocked from user mode on Windows — that key combination is reserved by the operating system. The agent blocks the common escapes (Alt+Tab, the Windows key, Alt+F4, Task Manager and registry tools during a session) and a watchdog restarts it if it is killed, so casual bypasses are covered and a deliberate one leaves evidence.

What happens to a session if the agent restarts?

The device stays paired — its credentials are held in the Windows credential store, not in memory — so the PC reconnects on restart without re-pairing, and the server remains the authority on what was billed.
