At pkrplay, we believe that entertainment and safety go hand in hand. Gaming is meant to be fun — a way to enjoy cricket betting, casino games, and slots in your own time, at your own pace. Our responsible gaming framework is built to make sure it stays that way for every player across Pakistan.
pkrplay's responsible gaming framework is built around six core principles that protect every player on the platform.
Every new pkrplay account goes through a mandatory identity verification process before any betting or casino feature can be accessed. We verify age, identity, and residency using government-issued documents — CNIC, passport, or driving licence. No shortcuts, no workarounds.
Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits and loss limits directly from their account dashboard. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period — a deliberate friction point designed to protect you from impulsive decisions.
If you feel you need a break from gaming, pkrplay's self-exclusion tool allows you to lock your account for a chosen period — from 24 hours to a permanent self-exclusion with no possibility of reinstatement. Self-exclusion requests submitted via live chat or email are processed within one hour of receipt.
Set a maximum session duration so the platform automatically reminds you — or logs you out — when your chosen time is up. Regular reality-check pop-ups show you exactly how long you have been playing and how much you have spent during that session, helping you stay fully aware at all times.
Our systems continuously monitor account activity for behavioural patterns associated with problem gambling — such as rapidly increasing bet sizes, chasing losses, or very long unbroken sessions. When these patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team will proactively reach out to offer support.
Our customer support team is trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with sensitivity and without judgment. Whether you are in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or Faisalabad — if you reach out at any time of day or night, someone from our welfare team will be available to help you access the tools you need.
Requesting a self-exclusion on pkrplay is straightforward and takes less than five minutes. Here is exactly how to do it.
All self-exclusion requests are processed within one hour. Once activated, your account will be immediately locked and you will not be able to log back in for the duration you have chosen. Marketing communications will also be suspended for the exclusion period.
Log into your pkrplay account and open the live chat widget. Alternatively, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Both channels are monitored 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Choose how long you want to be excluded — options range from 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. There is no wrong answer here. Our team will not question or challenge your choice.
For security purposes, our team will confirm your identity using your registered email address and account username before processing the exclusion. This protects against unauthorised exclusion requests on your account.
Within one hour of your verified request, your account will be locked. You will receive a confirmation email. During the exclusion period, any funds remaining in your account balance will be held securely and returned to you upon expiry — or immediately upon request if you have chosen permanent exclusion.
After a temporary exclusion expires, your account is not automatically reopened. You must contact our support team to request reinstatement, which includes a brief welfare check conversation. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
Every pkrplay account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming tools accessible directly from your account dashboard — no need to contact support to set most of these up.
Cap the maximum amount you can deposit in any single 24-hour period. Limits apply in PKR and can be set as low as Rs 100. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require 72 hours.
Set a broader budget across the week or the full month. Useful if you prefer to think about your gaming spend on a longer time horizon rather than day by day.
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with in a given period. Once this threshold is reached, your account will be temporarily suspended from placing further bets until the limit period resets.
Set a hard maximum on how long any single gaming session can last. When your limit is reached, you are logged out automatically. You cannot bypass this by simply logging back in until a cooldown has passed.
A shorter cool-off option ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. Unlike full self-exclusion, a Take a Break period does not require a welfare check to end — it simply expires and your account resumes normally.
Receive an on-screen pop-up at regular intervals — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — showing your session duration and net balance change. A simple but powerful way to stay grounded and keep perspective while playing.
If you answer "yes" to any of the questions below, it may be worth reflecting on your gaming habits. There is no shame in recognising a problem early — in fact, it takes real self-awareness and courage.
This is not a clinical diagnostic tool. It is a practical self-check designed to prompt honest reflection. If you are concerned about your gambling habits, please contact our support team or one of the independent organisations listed further down this page. Help is always available.
If you are in Pakistan and need to speak to someone outside of pkrplay, the Umang helpline (0317-4288665) provides mental health and addiction counselling support. You can also reach the pkrplay welfare team anytime via live chat.
Spending more time or money on gaming than you intended is one of the earliest signs that gaming habits may be shifting from recreational to problematic.
Chasing losses is one of the most common and most dangerous patterns in problem gambling. It rarely ends well and can accelerate financial harm significantly.
Concealment often signals that on some level you already know the behaviour has gone beyond what feels comfortable or safe.
When gambling starts affecting your financial wellbeing beyond the entertainment budget you set aside for it, that is a clear indicator it is time to use the tools available to you.
Emotional dependency on gambling — particularly when not playing feels uncomfortable — is a sign worth taking seriously. Please reach out to our welfare team or an external support service.
Answers to the questions our responsible gaming team hears most often from players across Pakistan.
