10game takes responsible gambling seriously. Whether you enjoy cricket betting during the PSL season, live casino sessions or a quick slot game from Karachi or Lahore, this page explains the tools, limits and support resources available to keep you in control of your play.
Adults only — or the higher minimum required by the operator's license jurisdiction
Local laws in Pakistan may restrict gambling. Always verify your legal position before playing.
Responsible gambling is the principle that wagering — whether on Pakistan cricket, PSL T20 markets, a roulette table or a slot game — should remain a form of entertainment that you choose freely, within limits you set yourself, using only funds you can genuinely afford to lose.
At 10game, responsible gambling is not a compliance checkbox. It is embedded into the platform architecture. Every account comes with access to deposit limits, session timers, reality checks, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion — accessible without needing to contact support. You can set and adjust these tools directly from your account settings at any time.
We recognise that for a small number of users, gambling may shift from entertainment to a compulsive behaviour that causes real harm — financial stress, strained relationships and impacts on mental health. 10game takes that risk seriously. This page sets out every tool available to help, and is clear about when you should stop and seek professional support.
The golden rule at 10game: never gamble more than you can comfortably afford to lose. If a session stops being fun, stop the session.
Gambling is a leisure activity — not a financial strategy or income source
Only ever wager PKR you can afford to lose without impacting your life
Set session time limits before you start — and stick to them
Understand the odds, house edge and RTP before wagering
Every 10game account comes pre-equipped with these tools. You do not need to call support to use them — they are available directly from your account settings, 24/7.
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week or per month in PKR. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked for the rest of that period. Increases to a deposit limit take effect only after a mandatory cooling-off period; decreases apply immediately.
Cap how much you can lose over a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly — in PKR. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further wagers until the limit period resets. Reductions apply instantly; increases require a cooling-off window.
Set a maximum session length in minutes or hours. When your time is up, you will receive a notification and can choose to stop or confirm continuation. Regular session-time monitoring is one of the most effective tools for keeping gambling in balance.
Enable pop-up reality check reminders at intervals you choose — every 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Each reminder shows how long you have been playing and your net session result in PKR, giving you a clear picture of your current session before you decide to continue or stop.
Take a temporary break from the Platform for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a cooling-off period your account remains accessible for withdrawals of your available balance, but you cannot deposit or wager. Cooling-off periods cannot be ended early.
If you need to step away for an extended period, self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum period of six months up to permanent exclusion. This is the most serious protection tool available. See the dedicated section below for full details on how to request self-exclusion.
Self-exclusion is the right tool when you feel that other controls are not enough — when you find yourself gambling beyond what you planned, chasing losses, or experiencing anxiety or guilt about your play. It is not a punishment; it is a practical reset that gives you time and distance.
When you self-exclude on 10game, your account is suspended for the period you choose — a minimum of six months, up to permanent closure. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit or wager. Any available real-money balance subject to no pending wagering requirements can be withdrawn prior to, or during, the exclusion period upon request.
How to activate self-exclusion on 10game:
The most effective responsible gambling habit is deciding on limits before you start a session — not after losses have already built up. Here is a summary of all limit types available on 10game.
Cap your total deposits within a 24-hour rolling window, denominated in PKR.
Set a maximum deposit for any 7-day period to keep weekly spend predictable.
A 30-day cap on total deposits, giving you a longer-horizon view of your gambling spend.
Stop play automatically once your net losses in a single day reach your chosen PKR threshold.
A weekly ceiling on net losses to prevent a bad run from becoming a significantly bigger problem.
Cap the maximum single-bet stake you can place, preventing impulsive high-stake wagers.
Auto-end or notify at your chosen session length — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or custom.
Receive on-screen pop-up reminders at 15, 30 or 60-minute intervals showing your session data.
Limit Reduction vs Increase: Any request to reduce an existing limit takes effect immediately. Any request to increase a limit is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period before the increase comes into force — typically 24 hours for daily limits and 7 days for weekly or monthly limits. This asymmetry is deliberate: it ensures you cannot impulsively override a limit you set when you were thinking clearly.
Gambling problems can develop gradually. Recognising the early signs — in your own behaviour or in someone close to you — is the first step. None of these signs alone is a definitive diagnosis, but several together suggest it may be time to step back and seek support.
If you recognise yourself in several of the warning signs listed here, please use 10game's self-exclusion tool and consider reaching out to a support organisation. Asking for help is not a weakness — it is the right move.
Support: 10game strongly encourages any user experiencing gambling-related distress to seek guidance from a qualified mental health professional or a gambling support counsellor in their area. Contact our support team at [email protected] to activate self-exclusion or cooling-off immediately — no questions asked.
Spending more than you planned. Sessions regularly running longer or costing more in PKR than you intended when you started.
Chasing losses. Continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have lost, rather than accepting losses as the cost of entertainment.
Gambling affecting your finances. Borrowing money, dipping into savings, or struggling to meet essential expenses — rent, utilities, food — because of gambling spending.
Concealing your gambling. Hiding the amount you gamble, the frequency of play, or the size of losses from family members or close friends.
Gambling to escape stress. Using betting or casino play as a primary way to cope with anxiety, depression, boredom or difficult personal situations.
Preoccupation with gambling. Spending significant amounts of time thinking about past sessions, planning future bets or researching ways to win back losses.
Failed attempts to cut back. Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce how much you gamble or to stop entirely — even when you genuinely want to.
Neglecting responsibilities. Missing work, study, family commitments or other obligations as a result of gambling activity or time spent thinking about it.
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, it is worth taking a break and speaking to someone. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a starting point for reflection.
Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, groceries or utility bills?
Have you ever spent more time or money on gambling than you had planned at the start of a session?
Have you ever placed larger bets in an attempt to recover previous losses?
Have you felt irritable, anxious or restless when trying to reduce or stop gambling?
Have you concealed the extent of your gambling from someone who is important to you?
Has gambling caused conflict with family members, friends or colleagues in the last twelve months?
Have you borrowed money or sold personal belongings to fund gambling?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently, even when you are not playing?
If you answered yes to three or more questions: Consider activating a cooling-off period or self-exclusion on 10game right now, and reach out to a professional counsellor. Contact our support team at [email protected] — we will help you activate protective tools immediately, with no questions asked and no judgment.
If minors share your device or network, consider using internet filtering or parental-control tools to restrict access to gambling platforms. Never share your 10game login credentials with others. Use a strong, unique password and enable any two-factor authentication offered by the platform.
Pakistan has gambling restrictions including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. Being aged 18 or over does not, by itself, make online gambling lawful in Pakistan. Users are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the laws applicable in their jurisdiction before using this platform.
10game's built-in tools are a first line of support. If you need more help, speaking to a professional is the right next step. Below are some avenues to consider — independent of 10game.
Qualified mental health professionals and addiction counsellors in Pakistan's major cities — Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar — can provide confidential guidance. Ask your GP or a trusted doctor for a referral. Many hospitals in Pakistan have psychiatric and counselling services available.
Sometimes the most effective first step is an honest conversation with a family member, close friend or religious community leader you respect. Acknowledging the issue to someone who knows you — in Urdu or English — can be a powerful catalyst for change and is often easier than speaking to a stranger.
Our support team is available 24/7, in English and Urdu, to help you activate any responsible gambling tool on your account — deposit limits, cooling-off, or self-exclusion — without judgment and without delay. Email us at [email protected] with "Responsible Gambling Request" in the subject line and we will prioritise your message.
A note on Pakistan-based resources: Pakistan does not yet have a nationally recognised, dedicated gambling helpline equivalent to those available in some other jurisdictions. 10game encourages users experiencing gambling-related distress to access mental health and addiction support services available in their city. Umang helpline (0317-4288665 — confirmed operational as of 2024) provides mental health support in Pakistan, in Urdu and English. We reference this for informational purposes only and recommend verifying current availability independently.
