Gaming Is Entertainment — Not a Way to Make Money
At PKR Beta, we are genuinely invested in making sure our platform is a positive part of our players' lives — not a source of stress or financial pressure. We know that in Pakistan, a lot of people come to online gaming for the excitement of cricket betting during a T20 series or the social buzz of a live casino table. That is exactly what we are here for.
But we also know that for a small number of people, gaming can start to feel less like fun and more like a compulsion. Spending more PKR than you planned, chasing losses after a bad session, or finding yourself logging in even when you do not really want to — these are signs that something has shifted. Recognising that early makes a real difference.
This page explains the tools we have built into PKR Beta to help you keep gaming healthy, the warning signs worth knowing about, and how to get support if you ever feel things are getting out of hand. None of this is meant to be preachy — it is just practical information that every player deserves to have easy access to.
Quick reminder. PKR Beta is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. All responsible gaming tools are available free of charge inside your account. If you need to activate any of them, contact our support team through live chat — available 24 hours a day.
Our Responsible Gaming Commitments
Player Protection First
Every PKR Beta account comes with access to deposit limits, session timers and self-exclusion from day one. These are not buried in menus — they are available to activate immediately via account settings or live chat.
18+ Strictly Enforced
PKR Beta is an adult platform. Age verification is part of the account process, and we actively monitor for accounts that show signs of being operated by minors. Under-18 accounts are closed immediately.
No Credit Extended
PKR Beta does not offer credit, loans or any form of deferred payment. You can only play with the real PKR balance in your account. Deposits are made through JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer — no borrowing.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable reality check notifications to receive on-screen alerts at regular intervals showing how long you have been playing and your net balance change during the session — a simple prompt to pause and reflect.
Activity Monitoring
Our systems monitor account activity patterns. If your play behaviour changes significantly — for example a sharp increase in session frequency or deposit amounts — our team may reach out proactively to check in.
24/7 Support Access
Our support team is available around the clock. Whether you want to set a deposit limit, request a cooling-off period or just talk through a concern, live chat is always open and always free to use.
Tools to Keep You in Control
These tools are built into every PKR Beta account. You do not need to ask permission to use them — they are yours. Here is what each one does and how it works.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount of PKR you can deposit in a rolling 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day period. Once the limit is in place, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. If you want to lower your limit, the change takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period before it comes into effect — this is intentional, to give you time to reconsider.
Session Time Limits
Choose a maximum session length — for example 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. When your session hits the limit you set, PKR Beta will display a notification and log you out automatically. This is one of the simplest tools available and one of the most effective for keeping gaming within boundaries you are comfortable with.
Cooling-Off Period
Need a short break without committing to a full self-exclusion? A cooling-off period lets you pause your account for a defined number of days — typically between 1 and 42 days. During this time, your account is suspended and no deposits or bets can be placed. The account reactivates automatically once the period ends.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your PKR Beta account for a minimum of six months, up to five years or permanently. During self-exclusion your account cannot be reopened, no deposits are processed and any promotional communications are stopped immediately. Contact live chat to request self-exclusion — it takes effect within 24 hours.
Loss Limits
Set a ceiling on how much PKR you are comfortable losing in a given period. Once your net loss reaches the limit you have set, further bets will be declined until the period resets. This is different from a deposit limit — it tracks your actual gaming losses, so you always know exactly where you stand.
Account History
Your full transaction and betting history is available in your PKR Beta account at any time. Reviewing it honestly — looking at deposit totals, game sessions and any patterns — is one of the most straightforward ways to stay aware of how much time and money you are actually spending on the platform.
How to Set Your Limits — Step by Step

Go to Account Settings
Tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Open Responsible Gaming
Look for the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings. All available tools are listed there with clear descriptions.

Contact Support if You Need Help
If you cannot find a setting or prefer to speak to someone directly, our live chat support team is available 24 hours a day and can activate any tool on your behalf within minutes.
Warning Signs — Know What to Look For
Gaming becomes a problem when it stops being entertainment and starts affecting your everyday life. These are the signs most commonly reported by people who later sought help.
Spending more PKR than you planned and not being able to stop when you hit your own mental limit.
Chasing losses — depositing more after a losing session with the intention of winning back what you lost.
Thinking about gaming constantly, including while you are at work, with family or trying to sleep.
Hiding how much time or money you are spending on PKR Beta from people close to you.
Using gaming as the main way to deal with stress, boredom or difficult emotions rather than as occasional entertainment.
Borrowing money or delaying important payments — rent, household bills, mobile top-ups — to fund gaming sessions.
Feeling irritable, anxious or low on days when you are not able to play.
If two or more of these apply to you honestly, it is worth taking a step back. Use one of the tools above, take a cooling-off period, or reach out to our support team. There is no shame in it — recognising the pattern early is the smart move.
Quick Self-Assessment — Be Honest With Yourself
These questions are not a clinical diagnosis — they are a quick prompt to help you reflect on your own gaming habits. Answer them honestly, even if no one else will see your answers.
1. Have you ever deposited more PKR than you originally planned to in a single gaming session?
2. Have you ever returned to PKR Beta shortly after a loss specifically to try and win that money back?
3. Have you ever told someone you spent less time or money gaming than you actually did?
4. Have you ever felt restless or irritated when you tried to cut back on gaming?
5. Has gaming ever affected your relationships, work performance or daily routine negatively?
6. Have you ever funded gaming by borrowing money, using bill money, or going without something you needed?
If you answered yes to any of these, consider activating a deposit limit or cooling-off period today. A single yes does not mean you have a problem — but it is a useful signal to take seriously before it becomes one. If you answered yes to three or more, we strongly recommend reaching out to our support team.
Practical Tips for Healthy Gaming on PKR Beta
- Decide your gaming budget before you log in — not after you have already deposited.
- Treat every PKR you deposit as entertainment spend, not an investment. Expect that most of it will not come back.
- Set a session timer so you cannot accidentally play for longer than you intended.
- Never play when you are drunk, exhausted or in a bad emotional state — your decision-making suffers and losses add up faster.
- If you have had a losing session, log out and do not return the same day. The odds do not change because you are on a losing streak.
- Keep gaming separate from your household finances. Use a specific portion of discretionary income and never touch bill money or savings.
- Check your account history regularly — the numbers are a more accurate reflection of your habits than your memory.
- Take natural breaks. Watch the PSL match first, then place your bets — do not let gaming run in the background continuously.
- If a friend or family member raises a concern about your gaming, listen to them. An outside perspective is often more accurate than your own assessment.
- Winning streaks are not a sign that you have found a system — they are variance. Stay disciplined regardless of whether you are up or down.
