Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment

At 1st Game, we take responsible gaming seriously. We believe that every player in Pakistan deserves to enjoy the platform on their own terms – with clear limits, full transparency, and the tools needed to step back whenever they choose.

The excitement of a PSL match, the thrill of hitting a Slot bonus round, or the atmosphere of a Live Casino table are all great experiences when you are playing within a budget you are comfortable with. Problems start when gaming shifts from leisure to something that affects your finances, relationships, or daily routine.

This page explains every responsible gaming tool available on 1st Game, how to use them, and what signs to look out for if gaming ever starts feeling less like fun and more like a pressure. Our support team is available around the clock to help you use any of these tools immediately – no waiting, no questions asked.

All responsible gaming limits and controls on 1st Game take effect immediately once you activate them. Requests to remove or relax a limit are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period to give you time to reconsider.
Our Commitment to You

1st Game is committed to providing a safe gaming environment for all Pakistani players. Our responsible gaming programme is built around giving you full control over how you play – on your schedule, within your budget.

Adults Only – 18+

All players must be 18 years of age or older. We carry out identity verification checks to confirm age and we take reports of underage access seriously. If you suspect a minor is using 1st Game, contact us immediately.

Tools Built to Keep You in Control

Every tool below is available to all registered players. Contact support or visit account settings to activate any of them.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum PKR amount that you can deposit into your 1st Game account each day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing one requires a waiting period.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount in PKR you are willing to lose within a set period. When your net losses hit that ceiling, wagering is paused for the rest of that period. This is one of the most effective ways to protect your monthly budget before things go too far.

Session Time Limits

Set a limit on how long a single gaming session can last. When your session time is up, you will receive a notification and the session will close automatically. Regular breaks help you stay clear-headed and keep gaming in perspective.

Cool-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break, activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is suspended for all gaming activity. You cannot override a cool-off once it starts – it must run its full course before access is restored.

Self-Exclusion

For a longer break, self-exclusion lets you close your 1st Game account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion you cannot access your account, receive promotional communications, or open a new account. Contact our support team to activate self-exclusion right away.

Promotional Opt-Out

Not wanting to see bonus offers, deposit match promotions, or game announcements is completely valid. You can opt out of all marketing communications at any time through your account settings. Opting out does not affect your ability to play normally on the platform.

Healthy Gaming vs. Harmful Habits

Understanding the difference helps you catch problems early

Signs of Healthy Gaming

  • You play with money you have set aside purely for entertainment, separate from household budget.
  • You stop playing when you hit your loss limit or session time, without feeling the urge to chase.
  • Gaming is one of several leisure activities – not the main thing you think about throughout the day.
  • Winning is a bonus. You enjoy the Cricket odds or the Slot gameplay regardless of whether you win.
  • You are completely honest with yourself and your family about how much time and money you spend on gaming.
  • You can take a break any time – a week without logging in does not cause anxiety or restlessness.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • Spending more than you planned and depositing more PKR to try to recover losses.
  • Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when you are not able to play for a period of time.
  • Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or social commitments because of gaming time.
  • Borrowing money or using bill funds to deposit – via JazzCash, Easypaisa, or bank transfer.
  • Hiding the extent of your gaming activity from family members or close friends.
  • Chasing losses – continuing to play in order to win back money you have already lost that session.
If you recognise two or more of the warning signs above in your own habits, it is a good idea to pause and use one of 1st Game's player tools – or to reach out to our support team for a confidential conversation. There is no judgement involved, only help.

Quick Self-Assessment

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. These are not diagnostic tests but they are a useful starting point for reflecting on your gaming habits. If you answer "yes" to several of them, taking a break and talking to someone is a sensible next step.

Ask Yourself Honestly

Answer yes or no for each question

1. Have I ever deposited more PKR than I originally planned in a single session?
2. Do I find myself thinking about gaming even when I am busy with other things?
3. Have I continued playing after telling myself I would stop at a certain point?
4. Have I used money meant for bills, groceries, or other necessities for gaming?
5. Have I felt anxious or unsettled after a losing session and wanted to play again immediately?
6. Has anyone close to me – family or a friend – expressed concern about the time or money I spend gaming?
If you answered "yes" to two or more questions, consider activating a deposit limit or cool-off period. Our support team can help you set these up right now.

Practical Tips for Staying in Control

Simple habits that make a real difference when gaming on 1st Game

Set a Budget Before You Start

Decide on a specific PKR amount you are comfortable spending before you open the app or site. Treat this like an entertainment expense – the same way you would budget for going out or buying cricket tickets. Once it is gone, stop for the day.

Keep Track of Time

It is easy to lose track of time when you are caught up in a T20 live bet or a Slot session. Use the session timer tool or simply set an alarm on your phone. Stepping away for regular breaks keeps your thinking clear and decisions sharper.

Never Chase Losses

Losing a bet or a spin does not mean the next one will make it back. Chasing losses is one of the most common ways a small problem turns into a bigger one. Accept a loss session, close the app, and come back another day with a fresh mind.

Never Play When Stressed or Upset

Gaming under emotional pressure almost always leads to poor decisions. If you have had a difficult day or are feeling stressed about finances, it is genuinely not a good time to place bets or play Casino games. Take a break and return when you are in a calmer state of mind.

Use Device Controls for Family Safety

If you share a mobile device or computer with family members, use your device's built-in parental controls or screen time features to prevent access to the 1st Game app by minors. Never share your account login details with anyone, including family members.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Sometimes having an honest conversation with a trusted friend or family member can help you gain perspective on your gaming habits. You do not have to handle concerns alone. Our support team is also available for a confidential chat at any time of day or night.

Responsible Gaming – Common Questions

Answers to the questions Pakistani players ask us most often

Log in to your account and go to the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings. From there you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly PKR deposit limit. The limit activates immediately once confirmed. If you would prefer, contact our support team and they will set it up for you without delay.

No – this is intentional. Reducing a limit or adding a new control takes effect immediately. However, any request to increase a limit or remove a control is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period. This gives you time to reconsider before a higher limit becomes active, which we believe is a genuinely protective measure for our players.

During self-exclusion, your account is closed and you cannot log in, place bets, or access any gaming features on 1st Game. All marketing and promotional emails and notifications are stopped. You will not be able to open a new account during this period either. Any remaining balance in your account will be available for withdrawal before exclusion begins. Self-exclusion periods start from a minimum of 6 months.

Yes. All responsible gaming tools available on the website are also available on the 1st Game app for Android and iOS. You can access them from the account section within the app. Alternatively, our support team can apply any control on your behalf through live chat or email.

Yes. Any PKR balance remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion can be withdrawn before the exclusion is fully applied. Contact our support team who will assist you with the withdrawal process via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, or bank transfer before closing down your access.

If you are concerned about a family member, the most important first step is to have an open and calm conversation with them about your concerns. Encourage them to review this Responsible Gaming page with you and to use the self-assessment questions as a starting point. If they are willing, they can contact 1st Game support directly to activate any available controls on their account. For your own devices, ensure parental controls are in place.
