What Responsible Gambling Means at bet93
For most players, betting on PSL cricket, T20 internationals or a favourite football league is exactly what it should be — an enjoyable way to engage with sports you already follow. That is the context in which bet93 operates: a platform designed for informed adults making deliberate entertainment choices, not a financial product or an income stream.
Responsible gambling means staying in control of how much you spend, how long you play and how betting fits into your overall life. At bet93, it also means having access to the tools to enforce those boundaries yourself — without needing to justify them to anyone or wait for a review process.
This page covers every player safety tool available on the platform, the warning signs of problem gambling, a self-assessment guide and information about support resources. If you are in Pakistan and gambling is causing harm, please use the tools below or reach out to our support team at any time. English-language support is available 24/7; ask about Urdu-language availability when you connect.
Pakistan Note: Pakistan has gambling restrictions under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. This page does not constitute legal advice. bet93 does not claim licensing by the Government of Pakistan, PTA or any Pakistani authority. Understand applicable local law before participating.
Player Safety Tools
All of these tools are available to every registered bet93 player at no cost. Access them via your account settings or by contacting support.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly or monthly period. For example, a PKR 5,000 weekly limit ensures you cannot exceed that amount regardless of how many transactions you attempt. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increases are subject to a cooling-off period before they activate.
Loss Limits
Cap the maximum net loss you are permitted to sustain over a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. Once your loss limit is reached, no further real-money bets can be placed until the limit period resets. This is one of the most practical tools for players who want a hard financial boundary.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for any single continuous betting or gaming session. When your limit approaches, you will receive an on-screen alert. Once the limit is reached, your session will end and you will need to actively choose to begin a new one — building a natural pause point into your play.
Reality Checks
Periodic on-screen notifications that display your current session duration and net result — whether you are up or down, and by how much. Reality checks are designed to interrupt automatic play and prompt a conscious decision to continue or stop. Set your preferred interval in account settings.
Take a Break
Request a temporary account suspension for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a break, your account is inaccessible for real-money play and no marketing communications will be sent. Your balance is preserved and accessible when the break period ends. No justification is required.
Self-Exclusion
Request permanent or long-term exclusion from the bet93 platform. Self-exclusion can be set for periods ranging from 6 months to permanent closure. Once activated, the account cannot be reopened during the exclusion period. All marketing contact will cease immediately. This is irrevocable for the duration you select.
How to Set Your Limits
Setting spending controls on your bet93 account takes under two minutes. You do not need to explain your reasons — these are your limits, set by you, for you.
Important: Limit reductions and self-exclusion requests take effect immediately. Limit increases require a cooling-off period before activation to prevent impulsive decisions during a session.

Confirm Your Setting
Review the limit you have set and confirm. A confirmation will appear on screen and, where an email address is on file, a notification will be sent to your registered address. Reductions take effect instantly.
For Self-Exclusion: Contact Support Directly
Self-exclusion requests are best handled through Live Chat or by emailing [email protected] (plain text — not a link) to ensure the process is confirmed and recorded correctly. The exclusion will be activated immediately upon confirmation.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling often develops gradually. Recognising these signs early — in yourself or someone you care about — makes it much easier to take action.
Chasing Losses
Placing additional bets specifically to try to recover money already lost — particularly when increasing bet sizes beyond your normal range to "get back" a deficit.
Losing Track of Time
Regularly spending significantly more time gambling than you originally intended, or realising that hours have passed without a conscious decision to continue.
Hiding Gambling Activity
Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members, friends or a partner — particularly in cities like Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad where family dynamics are closely knit.
Gambling with Money Needed Elsewhere
Using funds designated for rent, household expenses, family obligations or other essential costs. If PKR amounts needed for daily life are being redirected to gambling, this is a serious warning sign.
Mood Tied to Gambling Results
Feeling irritable, anxious or depressed after losses, or feeling that gambling is the primary source of excitement or relief from stress — rather than one recreational option among many.
Inability to Stop Despite Wanting To
Repeatedly resolving to reduce or stop gambling, then finding that those resolutions do not hold — especially when the urge to bet returns after a win or a bad day.
Borrowing to Fund Gambling
Taking loans, using credit facilities or borrowing from family or friends specifically to fund gambling activity. This is one of the clearest indicators that gambling has moved beyond recreational behaviour.
Neglecting Other Responsibilities
Work performance, family relationships, social obligations or personal health suffering because time or mental energy is being consumed by gambling activity or thinking about gambling.
Recognise any of these signs? You do not need to be experiencing all of them to have a problem. Even two or three of these patterns can indicate that gambling is causing harm. Please use the self-exclusion or deposit limit tools above, or contact support immediately. It is not a sign of weakness — it is a rational response to a recognised risk.
Quick Self-Assessment
These are reflection questions only — not a clinical tool. If several of these feel relevant to you, we strongly encourage you to take a break or contact support.
Adults Only — Protecting Minors
The bet93 platform is strictly for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by the operator or applicable licensing jurisdiction. No exceptions are made, and no exceptions exist within the platform's account verification process.
As an account holder, you are personally responsible for ensuring that no minor — including children, younger siblings or other young household members — can access the platform through your device or account. This is your legal and ethical responsibility.
Practical steps to keep minors safe:
- Never save your bet93 login credentials on a shared or family device.
- Log out of your account after every session, especially on mobile devices shared within the household.
- Use device-level parental controls or PIN locks on shared phones or tablets.
- Do not disclose your account password to any other person, including close family members.
- If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact support immediately and request a temporary suspension pending investigation.
Support Resources
If you need support beyond the tools on this platform, the following types of resources may be relevant. Where specific organisations serve the applicable licensing jurisdiction of bet93's operator, they are referenced here as informational context only.
Problem Gambling Support Organisations
Many jurisdictions have dedicated problem gambling helplines and support services. If your applicable jurisdiction offers a recognised helpline or support charity, we encourage you to contact them directly. Search for "problem gambling support" alongside your country or jurisdiction for current contact details. bet93 does not list specific third-party URLs or phone numbers on this page, but your support team can provide signposting during a conversation.
Mental Health & Counselling
Gambling problems often intersect with anxiety, stress or depression. Mental health professionals — including psychologists and counsellors available in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and other major cities across Pakistan — can provide support that addresses the underlying patterns, not just the gambling behaviour itself.
Family Support
Problem gambling rarely affects just the individual. If a family member's gambling is causing harm to your household, support services for affected family members exist in many regions. Speak to bet93 support — they can help connect you with available resources.
bet93's Responsible Gambling Commitments
These are not policy statements for show. They are the operating standards we hold ourselves to every day.
No Marketing to At-Risk Players
Players who have set self-exclusion, taken a break or reached a responsible gambling limit will not receive promotional marketing communications during that period. Self-exclusion automatically removes a player from all marketing lists with immediate effect.
Immediate Limit Reductions
Any reduction in a spending or time limit — no matter how small — takes effect the moment it is confirmed. There is no processing delay, no review period and no ability to override it during a session that is already in progress.
No Pressure to Reverse Exclusions
bet93 will never contact a self-excluded player with offers, incentives or reminders designed to encourage them to return during an active exclusion period. The exclusion period is respected in full.
Age Verification at Registration
Every new bet93 account is subject to age verification as part of the KYC process. Accounts that cannot confirm age eligibility — 18 years or the higher minimum required — will be restricted from real-money play until verification is complete.
Play Responsibly with bet93
If your gambling is under control and you are enjoying it as entertainment, bet93 is ready with cricket, football, live casino and more. If you need to step back, the tools above are always available — no questions asked.
🔞 18+ only. Local laws may restrict gambling. Please understand applicable law before participating.
