Responsible Gambling

At berpkr, we believe that entertainment should never come at the cost of your wellbeing. This page outlines the tools, resources and commitments we have put in place to support safe, responsible gambling — and to help you stay in control at all times.

Our Commitment

Gambling Is Entertainment — Not a Solution

berpkr is built for Pakistani players who enjoy cricket betting, PSL T20 markets, ICC tournaments, football, UFC and live casino games as a form of entertainment. We take our responsibility to those players seriously.

Responsible gambling means understanding the risks, setting personal limits, knowing when to stop, and seeking help when gambling stops being fun. berpkr provides a range of practical tools to support every one of these steps — and we encourage all our users, whether in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or anywhere across Pakistan, to use them.

It is also important to understand the legal context. Online gambling may be restricted or prohibited under Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. berpkr is not licensed by any Pakistani authority. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your use of this platform complies with the laws applicable in your location. Nothing on this page constitutes legal advice.

Important Reminder: Gambling involves real financial risk. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. Chasing losses is one of the most common warning signs of problem gambling.

How berpkr Keeps You In Control

These features are available to all registered users and can be activated at any time through account settings or by contacting our support team.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your berpkr account — for example, a limit of PKR 5,000 per week or PKR 20,000 per month. Once a deposit limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory cooling-off period before it becomes active, while reducing a limit is applied at once.

Loss Limits

A loss limit restricts how much you can lose within a defined period. Once the loss threshold is reached, you will not be able to place further bets until the limit period resets. Loss limits are one of the most effective tools for preventing sessions from escalating beyond your personal budget.

Time Limits & Session Controls

Set a maximum session duration so that you are automatically reminded — or logged out — when you have been playing for a set length of time. Time-based controls help break the pattern of extended, unplanned gambling sessions that can form a habit over time.

Cooling-Off Periods

If you feel you need a short break, you can activate a cooling-off period — ranging from 24 hours up to several weeks — during which your account is temporarily suspended. You will not be able to deposit, bet or access the casino during this time. Cooling-off is a useful first step if you notice your gambling habits changing.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a formal, longer-term block on your account — available for periods from 6 months up to permanent closure. During a self-exclusion period, you will not receive any promotional communications, and your account will be fully restricted. Self-exclusion requests are processed promptly by our support team.

Reality Checks

Reality check notifications appear at regular intervals during play to show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or won or lost in the session. These on-screen prompts are designed to keep you aware of your activity and prompt a conscious decision about whether to continue.

Serious Step, Full Support

Self-Exclusion: Block Your Account

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive player protection tool available on berpkr. If you feel that gambling is no longer under your control, we strongly encourage you to use it without hesitation or embarrassment.

When you request self-exclusion, your account will be suspended within a short processing window. All pending withdrawal requests will be settled to you. You will be removed from all marketing lists, and our system will take steps to prevent re-registration during the exclusion period.

How to Self-Exclude

  1. Log in to your berpkr account and navigate to Account Settings.
  2. Select "Responsible Gambling" from the settings menu.
  3. Choose "Self-Exclusion" and select your preferred duration — from 6 months to permanent closure.
  4. Confirm your request. The exclusion will be applied promptly.
  5. Alternatively, contact our support team directly at [email protected] and request self-exclusion by email. Include "Self-Exclusion Request" in your subject line.
Once a self-exclusion period is active, it cannot be reversed or shortened. You may only request reinstatement after the exclusion period has fully elapsed and following a mandatory review process.

Know the Warning Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step toward getting help. Below are some common indicators.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or more than you can afford to lose.

Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.

Gambling interfering with work, studies, family responsibilities or daily life in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or wherever you are based.

Borrowing money — from family, friends, or through credit — specifically to fund gambling.

Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when not gambling, or when attempting to reduce or stop gambling activity.

Hiding gambling activity from family members or close friends, or lying about the time or money spent gambling.

Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression or personal problems rather than for entertainment.

If any of these signs resonate with you, we encourage you to use berpkr's self-exclusion or limit tools immediately and to reach out to support organisations listed on this page. There is no shame in asking for help.
Self-Check

Ask Yourself These Questions

If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we recommend taking a break and reviewing your gambling habits.

Have you ever gambled more than you intended to in a single session?

Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by gambling more?

Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gambling?

Has gambling caused arguments or tension with family or friends?

Have you felt guilty, ashamed or anxious about your gambling?

Have you missed work, study or family commitments due to gambling?

Have you tried to stop or cut down on gambling and found it difficult?

Do you think about gambling frequently — planning the next session or reliving past wins?

Taking this check is a sign of self-awareness. Use berpkr's account tools to set limits right now, or contact support to request a cooling-off period or self-exclusion if you need a longer break.

Common Questions

Responsible Gambling FAQs

Answers to some of the questions we receive most frequently about player protection on berpkr.

Log in to your account, go to Account Settings, and select the Responsible Gambling section. From there you can set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit in PKR. The limit takes effect immediately. If you wish to lower a limit, the change applies at once. If you wish to raise a limit, a mandatory cooling-off period applies before the new higher limit becomes active.

No. Once a self-exclusion period begins, it cannot be shortened or reversed during the chosen duration. This is a deliberate safety measure — the purpose of self-exclusion is to provide a firm, reliable break. You may only request reinstatement after the full exclusion period has elapsed and after completing a mandatory review with our support team.

A cooling-off period is a shorter, temporary suspension of your account — typically ranging from 24 hours to a few weeks — that gives you a brief break without the long-term commitment of self-exclusion. Self-exclusion is a more permanent measure, lasting a minimum of 6 months, and is recommended for users who feel their gambling is genuinely out of control. Both are available through account settings or by contacting support.

berpkr is strictly an 18+ platform. We use age verification procedures as part of the account registration and KYC process to prevent underage access. Any account found to belong to a person under the minimum age will be closed immediately, all funds will be returned, and any winnings will be void. We strongly encourage parents and guardians across Pakistan — including in Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar — to use parental control software to restrict access to online gambling platforms.

If you are concerned about someone close to you, the first step is to open a calm, non-judgmental conversation. Organisations such as GamCare and Gamblers Anonymous offer resources not just for players but also for family members and friends affected by problem gambling. You can also contact berpkr's support team to discuss options — while we cannot take action on another person's account without their consent, we can provide guidance and point you toward appropriate resources.

No. When a self-exclusion is active, your account is removed from all marketing and promotional communications immediately. You will not receive bonus offers, deposit incentive emails or any other promotional material during the exclusion period. If you continue to receive marketing emails after requesting self-exclusion, please contact our support team so we can rectify the issue promptly.
