Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
At pkr345, responsible gambling is not a footnote in a terms document — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that betting and casino games are a legitimate form of entertainment for adults who choose to participate with full awareness of the risks involved. Our role is to provide that entertainment environment honestly, transparently and with robust safeguards in place to protect every player who uses the Platform.
Whether you are placing a wager on a Pakistan Super League T20 match, following ICC tournament action, watching live football markets, or enjoying a slot or casino game, the experience at pkr345 is built around one principle: you should always be in control. The moment gambling stops being enjoyable and starts affecting your finances, your relationships or your wellbeing, it has crossed a line — and pkr345 is here to help you draw that line clearly and act on it.
pkr345 takes a proactive approach to player protection. This means we do not simply wait for problems to escalate before acting. Our team monitors account activity for patterns that may suggest problematic gambling behaviour. We provide tools that put control directly in your hands. And we maintain clear, accessible pathways for players who need to step back — whether temporarily or permanently.
Who Can Play on pkr345
Access to the pkr345 Platform is restricted to adults only. The minimum age requirement is 18 years of age, or the higher minimum age required by the operator's licensing jurisdiction — whichever is greater. This requirement is non-negotiable and is enforced through mandatory age verification at account registration.
Beyond age, pkr345 requires all users to confirm at registration that they are not currently subject to a self-exclusion agreement and that they are accessing the Platform voluntarily and not under any form of coercion. Gambling while self-excluded is strictly prohibited under our platform rules.
Being 18 years old does not, by itself, make gambling lawful everywhere. In Pakistan specifically, users should be aware of the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 and any applicable provincial laws before participating. pkr345 is an international platform and does not represent that use of the Platform is lawful in every jurisdiction. Players from Pakistan access the Platform as an international service and are solely responsible for confirming that their participation is consistent with applicable local law.
Eligibility Summary
- Age: 18 years or older at the time of registration (or higher where required by licence jurisdiction)
- Identity: Valid government-issued ID required for KYC verification — a Pakistani CNIC or valid passport is accepted
- Exclusion status: Must not be subject to an active self-exclusion agreement on any platform
- Financial capacity: You should only gamble with funds you can genuinely afford to lose
- Mental state: Do not gamble while under the influence of alcohol, substances, severe stress or grief
- Jurisdiction: You are responsible for confirming that online gambling is lawful in your jurisdiction
Recognising Warning Signs
Problem gambling rarely announces itself all at once. It typically develops gradually, through a pattern of escalating behaviour that can be easy to rationalise in the moment. Recognising the warning signs early — in yourself or in someone close to you — is the most important step toward addressing the issue before it becomes serious.
The following are commonly recognised indicators that gambling may be moving beyond healthy entertainment. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use our responsible gambling tools or seek independent support.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, and finding it difficult to stop once you have started
- Gambling to try to recover money you have already lost — known as "chasing losses"
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you are not gambling, or when you try to cut down
- Lying to family members, friends or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Borrowing money — from friends, family, credit cards or informal lenders — specifically to fund gambling activity
- Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities or social commitments because of time spent gambling
- Gambling to escape feelings of stress, depression, loneliness or boredom rather than for entertainment
- Repeatedly attempting to cut back on gambling and finding yourself unable to do so
- Risking or losing a significant relationship, job or educational opportunity because of gambling
- Feeling a need to bet larger and larger amounts to experience the same level of excitement
Recognising these signs in yourself takes honesty and courage. If several of these resonate, please take our self-assessment below and then use our player tools to set firm limits — or to step away completely. You can also contact our support team at any time at [email protected] and we will help you access the right tools immediately.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
The questions below are based on widely recognised responsible gambling assessment frameworks. They are provided as a reflective tool — not a clinical diagnosis. Answer honestly, and for each "Yes" answer, consider whether it reflects a pattern worth addressing.
Have you ever spent more on gambling in a single session than you originally intended to?
Have you gambled to try to win back money you had previously lost?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal items to fund your gambling?
Have you felt restless, irritable or uncomfortable when trying to cut down on gambling?
Have you hidden your gambling activity from family members or close friends?
Has gambling caused you to miss work, family events or important commitments?
Have you gambled as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression or other emotional difficulties?
Have you ever considered that your gambling might be getting out of control?
Player Protection Tools
pkr345 provides a set of practical, account-level tools that put control directly in your hands. These tools are available to every registered user and can be activated at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. You do not need to be in difficulty to use them — many players use these controls as a matter of routine responsible play.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week or month — in PKR. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a cooling-off period.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you can lose within a defined period. When your net loss reaches the set threshold, your account is automatically restricted from further wagers until the limit period expires.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration. When your session reaches the limit, you will receive a clear alert and the option to continue or exit. This helps prevent extended play driven by habit rather than intention.
Cooling-Off Periods
Take a short planned break from gambling — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During a cooling-off period your account is suspended from all wagering activity. You retain access to your account balance and can request withdrawal.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently or long-term exclude yourself from the pkr345 Platform. Self-exclusion is a serious and binding commitment. Once activated, it cannot be reversed for the duration of the exclusion period. See Section 7 for full details.
Marketing Opt-Out
Remove yourself from all promotional communications, bonus offers and betting incentive messages. You can opt out of marketing at any time via your account settings, without affecting your ability to continue using the Platform.
Understanding Your Limits
Setting limits is one of the most effective responsible gambling strategies available to any player. The table below summarises each limit type, how it works at pkr345, and the key rules that govern changes to your limits.
| Limit Type | What It Controls | Available Periods | Change Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Maximum total PKR deposited in the period | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Decreases: immediate. Increases: cooling-off period applies before taking effect. |
| Loss Limit | Maximum net losses permitted in the period | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Decreases: immediate. Increases: reflection period required. |
| Wager Limit | Maximum total stake placed across bets and games | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Decreases: immediate. Increases: subject to review. |
| Session Time Limit | Maximum continuous play session duration | Per session (30 min–8 hours) | Adjustable at any time. Alert shown at limit before session ends. |
| Cooling-Off | Temporary account suspension from wagering | 24 hours to 6 weeks | Cannot be reversed early. Expires automatically at end of chosen period. |
| Self-Exclusion | Full account exclusion from all Platform activity | 6 months / 1 year / 5 years / Permanent | Irrevocable for the duration. Permanent exclusion cannot be lifted. |
All limits are applied in PKR to ensure amounts are familiar and meaningful for players in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar and other cities across Pakistan. When setting a deposit limit, think in terms of what you would comfortably spend on entertainment — not what you hope to win.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gambling tool available on the pkr345 Platform. It is designed for players who recognise that they need a significant break from gambling — or who wish to stop completely. Activating self-exclusion is an act of strength, not weakness, and pkr345 will support your decision fully.
How Self-Exclusion Works
- Self-exclusion can be requested for a minimum period of 6 months, or for longer fixed terms of 1 year or 5 years, or on a permanent basis.
- Once activated, your account will be immediately suspended. You will not be able to log in, place bets or access any gaming features on the Platform.
- Any outstanding balance on your account at the time of exclusion will be made available for withdrawal. Please contact support to arrange this.
- pkr345 will remove you from all marketing communications immediately upon self-exclusion being applied.
- Self-exclusion periods cannot be reversed or shortened before their expiry date. This is a deliberate protection feature, not a limitation — it ensures the tool provides genuine protection rather than a temporary deterrent.
- Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible. Once you choose permanent exclusion, your account will be permanently closed with no possibility of reinstatement.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
To activate self-exclusion, contact the pkr345 support team directly at [email protected]. State clearly that you wish to self-exclude, specify your preferred duration, and include your registered email address so we can verify your identity. Self-exclusion will be applied as quickly as possible — and always within 24 hours of a verified request, with immediate action taken where possible.
After Self-Exclusion Expires
When a fixed-term self-exclusion period expires, your account does not automatically reactivate. You must contact the support team to request reactivation, and there will be a mandatory further cooling-off period before access is restored. This gives you the opportunity to confirm that reactivation is a genuine, considered decision rather than an impulsive one made at the moment the exclusion technically ends.
Support Resources
pkr345 can provide account-level tools and support, but we are not a counselling or treatment service.

The following are widely recognised responsible gambling and mental health support resources operating internationally and accessible online.

24/7 AvailableProtecting Minors
pkr345 operates a strict adults-only policy. The Platform is absolutely not intended for anyone under the age of 18, and we take every reasonable measure to prevent underage access. Age verification is a mandatory part of the registration process, and accounts will be suspended where there is any reason to suspect an account holder may be under the minimum required age.
Guidance for Parents and Guardians
If you share a device with children or young people in your household — whether in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or anywhere else in Pakistan — we strongly encourage you to take the following precautions to prevent accidental or deliberate access to gambling content:
- Do not save your pkr345 login credentials on shared devices or allow browsers to auto-fill your password in environments where minors have access.
- Log out completely after every session on any device that may be accessed by a young person.
- Use parental control software to block gambling-related websites on shared devices. A number of reputable filtering tools are available for Windows, Android and iOS devices.
- Keep your account details private. Never share your password or allow a minor to use your account for any purpose — this is a breach of our Terms & Conditions and may result in account closure.
- Talk openly with young people in your household about responsible attitudes toward gambling and money.
Reporting Suspected Underage Access
If you believe a minor has registered on or accessed the pkr345 Platform, please report this to us immediately at [email protected]. Include as much detail as you are comfortable providing. We will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, including account suspension, fund withholding and — where required — notification of relevant authorities.
