Gambling should be enjoyable entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. pk92 provides every player with the tools, information and support to stay in control and play responsibly.
Our Commitment
At pk92, responsible gambling is not a disclaimer buried at the bottom of a page — it is a core commitment built into how we operate. We serve players across Pakistan, from Karachi and Lahore to Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar, and we understand that for many users, betting on cricket, PSL matches or ICC tournaments is a leisure activity they genuinely enjoy. Our job is to make sure it stays that way.
Problem gambling can affect anyone. It does not require heavy daily play — it can develop gradually, often without the player recognising the signs early. That is why pk92 makes responsible gambling tools accessible within every account, not just on a dedicated help page that users have to actively search for. Deposit limits, session time reminders, loss limits, cooling-off periods and full self-exclusion are all available to every registered user at any time.
We are equally direct about what gambling is and is not. Gambling is not a reliable way to generate income, supplement earnings or recover from financial losses. The house edge exists in every game — whether it is a cricket live bet during a PSL season opener or a roulette spin on the live casino. Informed players who understand this make better decisions and have a genuinely better experience. That honest framing is part of what pk92 stands for.
Responsible gambling also connects to the broader legal context in Pakistan. The Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 and related regulations place restrictions on gambling activity within the country. pk92 does not claim to operate with authorisation from the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan or any provincial body. Pakistani users are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the laws applicable in their location. If there is any doubt about legality, we recommend seeking independent legal advice before using the platform.
Player Control Tools
Every one of these tools is available directly within your pk92 account. No lengthy request forms — no waiting for approval before limits take effect.
Set a maximum daily, weekly or monthly deposit cap on your account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a cooling-off period before they activate.
Immediate EffectDefine the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period — daily, weekly or monthly. Once your loss limit is reached, betting is paused for that period. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping play within your means.
Player ProtectionSet a maximum session duration. When your time limit is reached, you will receive a clear notification and the session will end. Time limits help prevent the extended, fatigue-driven sessions that often lead to poor decision-making and unintended overspending.
Time AwarenessTake a short break from gambling without a full self-exclusion. Cooling-off periods can typically be set from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this period, your account remains open for review but betting and deposits are suspended.
Short BreakRequest a self-exclusion to close your account for an extended period — from a minimum of six months up to permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is a firm commitment: the account cannot be reopened during the exclusion window, even at your own request.
Extended BreakEnable periodic reality check pop-ups during your session. These alerts display how long you have been playing and your net session result, giving you a clear, factual snapshot that prompts a conscious decision about whether to continue or stop.
Session AwarenessSelf-Exclusion Process
Self-exclusion is the most definitive tool available. It closes your account to all gambling activity for the duration you choose. Here is how to request it — the process is straightforward and support is available if you need guidance at any step.
Important: Self-exclusion on pk92 applies to this Platform only. If you are concerned about problem gambling, we strongly recommend also registering with any relevant gambling blocking tools or support services available in your region. pk92 self-exclusion does not automatically extend to other gambling operators.
Access your account on pk92.cam using your registered credentials. If you are having difficulty logging in, contact our 24/7 support team via Live Chat before attempting self-exclusion.
Within your Account Settings, locate the Responsible Gambling section. This area contains all player protection tools including deposit limits, loss limits and self-exclusion options.
Choose the duration of your self-exclusion — from a minimum of six months through to permanent exclusion. Consider your situation carefully. Longer exclusions are often more effective for users experiencing serious gambling-related difficulties.
Confirm your self-exclusion request. The exclusion takes effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email and your account will be restricted from all gambling activity for the full duration selected.
If you are unable to access your account settings, you can request self-exclusion directly through our Live Chat or by emailing support at pk92.cam with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will process your request promptly and confidentially.
Know the Warning Signs
Problem gambling develops gradually and can be difficult to recognise from the inside. The following patterns are commonly associated with gambling that has moved from entertainment to harm.
Chasing losses — placing additional bets specifically to recover money that has already been lost, rather than for entertainment.
Gambling beyond your means — betting money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, utility bills or family needs.
Secretive behaviour — hiding gambling activity from family members, friends or colleagues, or lying about the amount you are spending.
Inability to stop — repeatedly trying to cut down or stop gambling without success, or feeling unable to walk away from a losing session.
Borrowing to gamble — taking loans, using credit facilities or asking friends and family for money primarily to fund gambling activity.
Emotional distress — experiencing significant anxiety, irritability, depression or restlessness when not gambling or after a losing session.
Preoccupation with gambling — spending significant time thinking about past sessions, planning the next bet, or calculating how to get more funds to gamble.
Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, neglecting family commitments or ignoring important obligations because of time or attention spent on gambling.
Escalating stakes — needing to bet progressively larger amounts to get the same level of excitement or satisfaction from gambling sessions.
If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone you know: Using the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools on pk92 is a positive first step. Honest conversations with trusted people in your life — family in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or wherever you are based — also make a real difference. Seeking professional support is not a sign of weakness; it is a practical and effective response to a recognised health issue.
Self-Assessment
This is a simple, informal self-check — not a clinical diagnostic tool. Answer honestly to get a sense of whether your gambling habits may benefit from further reflection or support.
1. Have you ever gambled with money you needed for living expenses — rent, food, bills or family needs?
2. Have you tried to stop or reduce your gambling but found it difficult to do so?
3. Have you chased losses — bet more after losing to try to win the money back?
4. Have you hidden your gambling activity from people close to you?
5. Does gambling cause you stress, anxiety or negatively affect your mood when you are not playing?
This self-check is for personal reflection only and does not constitute a clinical assessment. If you have concerns, please speak to a qualified health professional.

Safe Play Principles
Responsible gambling is not about never betting — it is about betting with clear boundaries, a realistic understanding of the odds and a mindset that treats gambling as one leisure activity among many rather than a priority or a coping mechanism.
Here are the core principles that pk92 encourages every player to follow:
Responsible gambling applies equally whether you are betting PKR 200 on a PSL match or PKR 5,000 on a live casino session. The principles do not change based on the amount — what matters is that the decision to bet is made clearly, within limits you have chosen in advance, and with full awareness of the risk involved.
