Gaming at PG Games should be entertainment. It should add some excitement to your day, not take over it. This page explains the tools we provide to every Pakistani player to keep the experience fun, affordable, and under your control.
It is not just a legal checkbox. It is how we think about our relationship with every player.
The word "responsible" gets thrown around on gaming platforms without much behind it. At PG Games, we want to be specific about what we mean. Responsible gaming, as far as we are concerned, means three things: making sure you are playing for the right reasons, making sure you can afford what you are spending, and making sure you have genuine control over when you play and when you stop.
Most people who play at PG Games enjoy it exactly the way it is meant to be enjoyed – as a bit of fun, a way to make a cricket match more interesting, something to do with a small amount of spending money. But gambling carries a real risk for a minority of players of becoming compulsive, and we take that risk seriously. The tools on this page are not hidden in some obscure settings menu. They are front and centre because we would rather you use them and stay on the platform healthily for years than push limits and burn out.
PG Games has zero financial incentive to encourage you to play beyond your means. A player who loses more than they can afford is a player who leaves, who tells others to stay away, and who associates PG Games with a bad experience. Our whole business model depends on you genuinely enjoying the platform – which is only possible if you stay in control.
Set a cap on how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Limits are applied immediately and increases require a 24-hour waiting period.
Block your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, or permanently. Takes effect the instant you submit the request.
Set a time alert after which PG Games will show you how long you have been playing and your net session result.
Regular on-screen reminders that tell you how long you have been playing and whether you are up or down in PKR for that session.
Set a maximum amount in PKR you are willing to lose in a set period. PG Games stops further play once the limit is reached.
Our responsible gaming advisors are available via live chat in both Urdu and English, every day of the year, at any hour.
Every tool is in your account settings. Here is exactly how to find and activate each one.
Login to your PG Games account. Go to Account Settings and select the Responsible Gaming tab. Choose Deposit Limits, then select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Enter the maximum amount in PKR you want to allow yourself to deposit in that period and click Save. The limit is applied immediately. If you want to lower your limit, the change happens right away. If you want to increase it, there is a mandatory 24-hour review period to give you a chance to reconsider.
In Account Settings under the Responsible Gaming tab, select Self-Exclusion. Choose the duration that suits you: 24 hours for a short break, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, or permanent exclusion. Once you click Confirm, your PG Games account is blocked immediately. You will not receive any promotional communications during the exclusion period. If you request permanent exclusion, the decision cannot be reversed. Temporary exclusions cannot be lifted early – the full period must pass.
Under Responsible Gaming settings, select Reality Checks and choose your preferred reminder interval – every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour. Each time the interval passes, PG Games will display your session duration and your net gain or loss in PKR for that session. You can choose to continue or stop. Reality checks are one of the most underused tools on the platform and one of the most effective at keeping sessions from running longer than intended.
A loss limit sets a maximum amount in PKR that you are willing to lose within a defined period. Once your losses reach the cap, PG Games will suspend further play for the remainder of that period. Find this under Account Settings then Responsible Gaming. Enter the PKR amount and the timeframe. Like deposit limits, reductions are immediate while increases have a 24-hour delay. If you are not sure what to set, a useful rule of thumb is: what is the most I could lose from my disposable income this week without it causing any stress at all? That number is your limit.
Be honest with yourself. Recognising the signs early makes everything easier to address.
Most Pakistani players who come to PG Games for cricket betting or a few rounds of Aviator do exactly that and nothing more. But problem gambling is real, it can develop gradually, and it does not always look dramatic from the outside. The signs below are based on recognised problem gambling indicators. If several of them feel familiar, it is time to use the tools on this page or talk to our support team.
You are depositing more than you planned when you first opened your PG Games account, or more than your monthly disposable income can comfortably absorb.
You find yourself chasing losses – depositing more to try to win back what you lost rather than accepting the result and moving on.
Gaming at PG Games is occupying more of your thinking than it used to – you are planning sessions in advance, checking odds during work hours, or feeling restless when you cannot play.
You have borrowed money, used family savings, or delayed paying a bill to fund gaming activity.
You feel irritable, anxious, or low when you are not playing, or feel relief from stress or worry specifically when you are gambling.
You have tried to cut back or stop and found it harder than expected, or you have told yourself "just this one last time" more than once.
Family members or friends have expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
Answer these four questions honestly. It takes under a minute.
Practical habits that every Pakistani player can build from the start.
The best responsible gaming habits are the ones you build before there is any problem rather than after. Pakistani players who enjoy PG Games sustainably over the long term tend to do the same things. None of it is complicated – it is mostly about being intentional rather than reactive.
Before you deposit, decide how much of your monthly disposable income – the money left after rent, groceries, phone top-up, and transport – you are comfortable spending on PG Games. Write it down if it helps. Set that amount as your monthly deposit limit in your account settings. That money is entertainment spending. Anything you win is a bonus, not income you should plan around.
This is the most fundamental rule of responsible gaming at PG Games or anywhere else. If losing the amount you are about to stake would genuinely affect your ability to pay for something important, do not stake it. It sounds obvious but it is the line that gets crossed when sessions run long and losses mount. If you are at that line, stop and use a session break or loss limit.
Time and money are both finite resources. A session that goes longer than you planned tends to also cost more than you planned. Enable the session reminder in your PG Games account settings. When it fires, take a genuine break – go make chai, step outside for five minutes, check the cricket scorecard. If you want to continue after the break, continue. The point is to make it a conscious decision rather than a drift.
Decision-making quality drops sharply when you are tired, emotionally upset, or have been drinking. Chasing losses happens most often in this state. A useful rule: if you would not make a financial decision of that size in that state – signing a contract, transferring money – do not make a bet in that state either. Close the app and come back when you are in a better place.
Every Pakistani player who bets on cricket knows that even the best analysis does not guarantee the result. PG Games is a platform where the house has an edge across its products – that is true of every gaming platform in the world. Losing is part of the experience. Chasing losses to try to return to even is statistically likely to make the situation worse. Accept the result, step away, and come back with fresh eyes and a fresh budget.
