Responsible Gambling on 91pkr
Gambling should be an enjoyable pastime — never a source of financial stress or emotional harm. 91pkr is committed to giving Pakistani players the tools, information and support they need to keep gambling in check at all times.
Gambling Is Entertainment — Keep It That Way
At 91pkr, responsible gambling is not a legal footnote — it is central to how we operate and how we think about our Pakistani users. Whether you're following Pakistan cricket during an ICC T20 World Cup, tracking a PSL season from Lahore, or trying your luck on a live casino table after work in Karachi, the moment gambling stops being fun and starts feeling like a necessity, something needs to change.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, city or background. It rarely announces itself loudly. More often, it creeps in gradually — more sessions than planned, chasing losses after a bad day, hiding activity from family. Our goal is to make sure you have the awareness, the tools and the access to support you need before things reach that point.
This page covers everything: the player protection tools available to you right now, how to spot early warning signs, how self-exclusion works step by step, and what support resources are available. Please read it carefully — and share it with anyone you're concerned about.
Pakistan has significant gambling restrictions in place, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. 91pkr does not claim to be licensed, approved or regulated by any Pakistani authority, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan or any provincial body. Content on this Platform is for informational purposes. Nothing here constitutes legal advice. Please understand applicable local law before engaging in any form of online gambling.
Tools to Keep You in Control
91pkr provides practical tools that put you in control of your gambling. Use them proactively — don't wait until you feel out of control to set limits.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum daily, weekly or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. Raising a limit takes a mandatory cooling-off period; lowering it takes effect immediately.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period. When you hit your loss limit, your account is automatically restricted from further play for the rest of that period. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing sessions from spiralling.
Session Time Limits
Set a hard limit on how long each playing session can last. Once you hit the time limit, a prompt will appear and your session will end. This is particularly useful for late-night sessions that tend to run longer than intended.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display your session duration, net balance change and a clear prompt asking whether you want to continue. Reality checks are a simple but powerful way to maintain perspective during extended play.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from gambling — 24 hours, 48 hours, a week — without permanently closing your account. During a cool-off period, you cannot deposit or play. Marketing communications are also suspended. Available to request at any time via account settings.
Self-Exclusion
Request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion from the Platform. Once activated, your account is immediately suspended — you cannot log in, deposit or play for the full exclusion period. This cannot be reversed mid-period. See the dedicated section below for full details.
Quick Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to more than two or three of them, it may be time to use one of the player protection tools above or to seek support.
Self-Check Questions
These questions are for self-reflection only and do not constitute a clinical assessment. If you have concerns, please seek professional support.
You are not alone, and there is no shame in reaching out. Contact our support team at [email protected] to request a self-exclusion or a cool-off period. You can also use the player tools in your account settings immediately. Seek professional help — speaking to someone who understands problem gambling can make a significant difference.
Understanding Your Limit Options
Setting limits is one of the most effective ways to prevent gambling from becoming a problem. Here's exactly how each limit type works at 91pkr.
Daily Deposit Limit
The maximum amount you can deposit into your account within any 24-hour rolling period. For example, you might set this at PKR 2,000 to ensure no single day of play exceeds your entertainment budget.
Weekly Deposit Limit
A cap on total deposits made across any 7-day rolling window. Weekly limits help prevent single-week spikes driven by emotions, like chasing losses from an unexpected cricket result.
Monthly Deposit Limit
A ceiling on deposits across a full 30-day period. Monthly limits are ideal if you want an overall budget that aligns with your income cycle, keeping gambling spend proportionate to your finances.
Loss Limit
Defines the maximum net loss you'll accept in a period. Once reached, your account pauses automatically for the rest of that period — preventing further losses regardless of how you feel in the moment.
Session Time Limit
A hard timer that ends your play session when the specified duration expires. Unlike a soft reminder, this actively closes your session — effective for avoiding the "just one more round" pattern.
Reducing vs. Increasing Limits
Decreasing any limit takes effect immediately — you are always protected faster. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory review period (typically 24–72 hours) to ensure impulsive increases during a session are prevented.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling rarely looks like the dramatic portrayals in films. More often it is quiet, gradual and difficult to see from the inside. These are the real warning signs to watch for — in yourself or someone close to you.
If you recognise several of these signs in someone you care about, approach the conversation with compassion rather than judgement. Offer to help them use our player protection tools or contact our support team on their behalf at [email protected].
Increasing bets to feel the same excitement — needing to wager larger amounts to get the same rush that smaller bets used to provide, a classic sign of escalating tolerance.
Chasing losses obsessively — returning to the Platform immediately after a losing session with the intention of winning back what was lost, often leading to deeper losses.
Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose — using rent, utility bills, grocery money, or funds borrowed from family or friends in Karachi, Lahore or elsewhere to fund sessions.
Preoccupation with gambling — thinking about past gambling sessions or planning the next one constantly, even during work, prayer, family meals or social gatherings.
Hiding activity — clearing browser history, using a separate device, lying about time spent or money lost, or becoming defensive when the topic comes up.
Neglecting responsibilities — missing work shifts, academic deadlines or family commitments because of gambling sessions, or gambling during hours normally reserved for sleep or rest.
Emotional dependence — gambling to manage feelings of stress, loneliness, anxiety or depression rather than for entertainment, treating it as a coping mechanism.
Failed attempts to stop — genuinely wanting to quit or cut down, making promises to yourself or others to do so, but being unable to follow through.
How Self-Exclusion Works
Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available on 91pkr. It immediately and completely suspends your account — no logins, no deposits, no play — for a period you choose. Here's exactly what happens when you activate it.
Once a self-exclusion is active, it cannot be lifted early for any reason. This is intentional — it removes the temptation to reactivate impulsively. Choose your exclusion period with care, and consider starting with a longer period if you are unsure.
Decide Your Exclusion Period
Choose from short-term options (7 days, 30 days, 90 days) or longer permanent exclusion options. There is no wrong choice — the right period is whichever one genuinely gives you the break you need.
Request via Account Settings or Email
Navigate to Responsible Gambling in your account settings and select "Self-Exclusion", or email [email protected] with your username and requested exclusion period. Email requests are processed as a priority.
Immediate Account Suspension
Your account is suspended immediately upon confirmation. You will be logged out and unable to log back in for the full exclusion period. All marketing communications are also suspended.
Use Your Time Wisely
During the exclusion period, we encourage you to speak with a counsellor, reconnect with family, pursue other hobbies and reflect on your relationship with gambling without pressure or temptation.
Reinstatement with Safeguards
After your exclusion period expires, reinstatement is not automatic. You must actively contact our support team, complete a brief review process and are encouraged to set new deposit and loss limits before resuming play.
Support Resources
You do not have to manage this alone. The following resources and approaches can help — regardless of whether your concerns are small or serious.
91pkr Support Team
Our support team is available to process self-exclusions, set limits on your behalf and discuss concerns about your account. Contact us at [email protected]. Responsible gambling requests are always treated as a priority.
Mental Health Professionals
Speaking to a qualified psychologist or counsellor about problem gambling can be transformative. Many mental health professionals in Pakistan's major cities — Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and others — offer confidential sessions. Ask your GP for a referral.
Trusted Family or Friends
Opening up to a trusted family member or close friend about a gambling problem is one of the most effective first steps. Ask them to help you stay accountable, support limit-setting or simply be present during difficult moments without enabling continued gambling.
Technology Barriers
In addition to 91pkr's own tools, consider using device-level parental controls or website blockers on your phone or laptop to restrict access to gambling sites entirely during a break. This adds an additional layer of friction beyond account-level exclusion.
Financial Counselling
If gambling has created financial difficulties, speaking with a financial counsellor or debt advisor can help you create a realistic plan to stabilise your situation. Address the financial side and the behavioural side together for the best outcome.
Support Groups
Peer-based support groups — where people with shared experiences come together — can be powerful. Knowing others understand what you are going through, without judgement, often makes it easier to commit to change and maintain it over time.
91pkr provides the above guidance as general signposting only. We do not have formal affiliations with any of the above support types and are not in a position to verify specific providers. For the most current and verified support options in your area, speak with your GP, a trusted professional or a local health authority.
