At 92rr, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable leisure activity — not a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page provides practical guidance, self-assessment tools and resource information to help you stay in control.
Need help right now? If gambling is causing you or someone you know serious harm, please seek support immediately. Contact a licensed mental health professional or a recognised crisis helpline in your area. Do not delay.
Responsible gambling is about maintaining a healthy relationship with betting and gaming activities. These six principles form the foundation of how 92rr approaches player safety.
Responsible gambling means treating betting like any other form of entertainment — with a fixed budget and a time limit, just as you would an evening out in Lahore or a cricket match at the National Stadium in Karachi. It is never a reliable income source or a way to recover financial losses.
Set a strict personal budget for gambling — an amount that, if lost entirely, would not affect your ability to meet essential obligations such as rent, household expenses or family commitments. In practical terms, if your budget is PKR 2,000 for the week, stop when it is gone regardless of the outcome.
It is easy to lose track of time when engaged in live casino games or watching PSL T20 betting markets. Use your device's built-in screen time controls or the platform's session timer tools to set clear daily time boundaries. Take regular breaks and avoid gambling in long uninterrupted sessions.
One of the most common warning signs of problem gambling is chasing losses — increasing bets after a losing streak in the hope of recovering what was lost. This rarely works and almost always leads to larger losses. Accept that losing is a normal part of any gambling activity and walk away when your set limit is reached.
Avoid gambling when you are emotionally distressed, tired, under the influence of substances, or using funds earmarked for essential needs. Clear-headed decision-making is critical. Gambling while stressed or upset significantly increases the risk of impulsive decisions and financial harm.
Keeping gambling habits secret from close family and friends is a significant warning sign. Responsible gambling is something you can be open about. If you feel you need to hide how much time or money you spend on gambling, it is time to step back and honestly assess your relationship with it.
Licensed gambling operators typically offer a range of player-protection tools. 92rr strongly encourages every user to familiarise themselves with these features and use them proactively — not only when a problem has already developed.
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. For example, you might limit yourself to PKR 5,000 per week. Once reached, no further deposits are accepted until the limit period resets. Increases to limits are subject to a cooling-off delay.
Highly Recommended
A loss limit caps the amount you can lose within a defined time period. If you lose PKR 3,000 in a single session, the platform will prevent further play for the set period. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing the financial damage of chasing losses.
Strongly Advised
Set a maximum session duration — say, one hour — after which the platform will alert you or automatically log you out. This is especially valuable during live sports betting on ICC tournaments or PSL T20 matches, where excitement can make it easy to lose track of time.
Useful for Every Player
If you need a short break from gambling without committing to full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period blocks your account from accepting bets for a defined period — typically 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. The block activates immediately and cannot be reversed during the active period.
Immediate Effect
Self-exclusion is a formal, longer-term measure that closes your account for a minimum period — often six months, one year or permanently. During this period, all promotional communications are stopped and re-registration is blocked. This is the most powerful tool available to players who recognise a serious problem.
Maximum Protection
Reality check notifications send you periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and your net win or loss position for the session. These prompts interrupt the flow of play and encourage conscious decision-making rather than autopilot betting.
Awareness Building
How to Access These Tools: Control tools are typically found in the Account Settings or Responsible Gambling section of your operator's platform. If you cannot locate them, contact the operator's customer support directly. Responsible operators are legally required to make these tools easily accessible. Do not wait until you have a problem — set your limits before you begin playing.
Honest self-reflection is the first step to staying in control. Read through the questions on the right and consider your truthful answers. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a personal reflection exercise.
If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions on a regular basis, we strongly encourage you to take a break, use the cooling-off or self-exclusion tools available on your platform, and consider speaking to a professional support service.
Remember
There is no shame in recognising a problem early. Addressing it before it escalates protects your finances, your family relationships and your mental wellbeing. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Reflect honestly on each question. For personal use only — not a clinical assessment.
Do you find yourself spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, even after deciding to set a stricter limit?
Have you ever borrowed money — from friends, family or through credit — specifically to fund gambling activity?
Do you feel restless, irritable or anxious when you try to cut back or stop gambling?
Have you ever lied to family members or close friends about the amount of time or money you spend on gambling?
Do you frequently think about gambling — reliving past wins, planning the next session, or calculating how much you need to win back?
Have you continued gambling despite it causing significant problems in your personal relationships, work or financial situation?
Do you use gambling as a way to escape personal problems, stress, depression or anxiety rather than as a leisure activity?
After losing money, do you feel a strong compulsion to return quickly and bet more in order to recover your losses?
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being aware of the early, moderate and serious warning signs allows you — or someone close to you — to take action before the situation becomes severe.
Self-exclusion is the most decisive player-protection tool available. It is a formal request to an operator to close your account and block you from opening new accounts for a defined period. Unlike a simple cooling-off break, self-exclusion is a serious, enforceable commitment.
When you self-exclude, the operator is obligated to immediately stop sending you any promotional emails, SMS messages or bonus offers. Your account is closed, your remaining balance (if any) is returned to you, and you are prevented from re-registering under the same identity during the exclusion period.
Self-exclusion periods typically range from six months to five years, with the option to make the exclusion permanent. Any request to reduce an exclusion period or end it early must be subject to a mandatory waiting period — typically a minimum of seven days — to prevent impulsive reversal decisions.
Important: Self-exclusion is only effective if it is applied consistently. If you self-exclude on one platform, you should also consider self-excluding on all other gambling platforms you use. A responsible operator will also share your self-exclusion with any related brands or platforms within its group.
What Stops
All promotional communications, account access, new registrations and bonus offers are blocked immediately.
Your Balance
Any remaining account balance is returned to you via your original payment method following the exclusion request.

Understanding the legal landscape is a key part of responsible gambling. 92rr provides the following as general informational context only — this is not legal advice.
Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977
Pakistan's primary legislation governing gambling is the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. This law restricts gambling activities across Pakistan. Online gambling exists in a complex legal grey area — it is not explicitly licensed or regulated by Pakistani authorities, and no Pakistani government body, including the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) or the State Bank of Pakistan, has authorised or endorsed online gambling operators. Users in Pakistan must understand and accept full personal responsibility for their compliance with applicable local laws before engaging with any online gambling platform.
It is your personal responsibility to determine whether accessing online gambling platforms is lawful in your specific jurisdiction within Pakistan. Laws may vary and can change. 92rr does not provide legal advice and strongly recommends consulting a qualified legal professional if you are uncertain about your obligations.
All gambling platforms require users to be at least 18 years of age, or the higher minimum age required by the operator's license jurisdiction. Age verification is a legal requirement. Any attempt to circumvent age checks is a serious violation. 92rr does not support or condone underage gambling under any circumstances.
