Gambling should be entertaining — a way to enjoy the excitement of Pakistan cricket, PSL/T20 finals and live casino action. Done66 is firmly committed to ensuring that every user on our platform has access to the tools, knowledge and resources they need to keep gambling within safe, healthy limits.
Done66 exists to give Pakistani users clear, accurate information about online sports betting and live casino platforms. We take that responsibility seriously — and that includes being completely upfront about the risks involved in gambling. Whether you are placing a bet on a Pakistan vs India ICC clash or spinning a live casino wheel late at night in Lahore, the same principle applies: always stay in control.
The vast majority of people who gamble do so recreationally and without harm. They set a budget, enjoy the experience and move on regardless of the outcome. But for a small percentage of users, gambling can develop into something more difficult to manage. Done66 actively promotes responsible gambling practices so that every player — from Karachi to Peshawar — can identify the warning signs early and access support before a problem escalates.
This page sets out the responsible gambling framework that applies to users of done66, including the player-protection tools available through operator platforms referenced on this site. We are not a licensed gambling operator ourselves, but we hold ourselves to high standards when it comes to responsible gambling advocacy.
Legal Context for Pakistani Users: Pakistan has significant gambling restrictions, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. Done66 does not claim that online gambling is approved, licensed or endorsed by the Government of Pakistan, the PTA or any provincial authority. The 18+ age restriction does not imply legality in Pakistan. Users are solely responsible for understanding applicable local law before participating in gambling activities.
Reflect honestly on these questions. If several apply to you, consider reaching out for support.
If you answered yes to two or more: Consider using the self-exclusion or limit tools described on this page, and seek professional support.
These six commitments define how done66 approaches player safety — for every user across Pakistan.
Done66 is for adults aged 18 and over, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or licence jurisdiction. We have zero tolerance for underage access. All accounts are subject to age verification. This restriction does not imply that gambling is lawful for adults in Pakistan — local laws govern what is permissible.
Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily block yourself from accessing a gambling platform for a defined period — or permanently. Done66 actively promotes self-exclusion as a valid, responsible choice. If you need a break, use the self-exclusion tool available through your operator platform. Requests should be made through the operator's responsible gambling section.
Setting a deposit or loss limit before you start playing is one of the most effective ways to stay in control. Done66 recommends all users set limits that reflect their genuine disposable income — not aspirational amounts. Limits can typically be set daily, weekly or monthly through the operator's responsible gambling settings.
Session time reminders alert you when you have been playing for a set period — prompting a conscious decision to continue or stop. Cooling-off periods let you pause account activity for days or weeks without a full exclusion. Done66 encourages users to set session time limits before each gambling session, not after.
Done66 never claims that gambling guarantees profits. All content on this site — including sports betting guides, bonus overviews and casino game explanations — is presented with clear disclosure that gambling involves real financial risk and that past outcomes do not predict future results.
Recognising that gambling is causing harm takes courage. Done66 promotes seeking help as a sign of strength, not weakness. Support is available — from operator-provided tools to professional counselling services. Users in Pakistan can contact done66 support in English or Urdu to ask about available resources.
The following responsible gambling tools are typically available through the operator platforms referenced on done66. Availability may vary by operator — always check your operator's responsible gambling section for current options.
Voluntarily block access to your account for a fixed period — from 24 hours to permanent closure. Contact support or use the in-platform responsible gambling settings to activate.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week or month. Once set, limits typically cannot be increased immediately — a cooling-off period applies before any upward adjustment takes effect.
Cap your maximum net losses over a defined period. When the limit is reached, your account is temporarily restricted from further play until the period resets.
Set a maximum session duration. When the time limit is reached, you receive a notification and must actively choose to extend the session — breaking the habit of passive play continuation.
A short-term pause on your account — typically 24 hours to several weeks — without triggering a full self-exclusion. Useful if you feel your play is becoming more frequent than intended.
Regular on-screen reminders showing your total session time and net win/loss position. Reality checks promote awareness during play so you can make conscious decisions at regular intervals.
Access a full history of your deposits, withdrawals, bets placed and losses incurred. Reviewing your activity regularly helps you identify spending patterns before they become a problem.
You have the right to permanently close your gambling account at any time. Contact the operator's support team. Permanent closure should be treated as a serious, long-term tool — not a short-term pause.
| Play Type | Suggested Daily Deposit Limit | Suggested Session Length | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casual / Recreational | PKR 500 – PKR 2,000 | 30–60 minutes | Set low limits, use reality checks, treat it as entertainment spending. |
| Regular Player | PKR 2,000 – PKR 5,000 | 60–90 minutes | Review account history weekly, use loss limits, take regular cooling-off days. |
| High-Frequency Player | Set by individual budget assessment | Strict timer with breaks | Complete a self-assessment, consider voluntary limits, speak to support if concerned. |
| Concerned Player | Reduce immediately | Consider a break | Activate self-exclusion or cooling-off period. Seek professional support. |
The above figures are illustrative guidance only. Actual limits should be set based on your personal financial circumstances and must never exceed your disposable income. Gambling with borrowed money, PKR from savings or funds earmarked for household expenses is strongly discouraged.
Problem gambling rarely appears suddenly — it develops gradually. Knowing the early signs means you can act before a manageable situation becomes a serious one. The following warning signs are widely recognised indicators of gambling harm.
The difference between recreational and problem gambling is not how much you play — it is your relationship with it. Here is a clear side-by-side comparison.
Self-exclusion is a powerful tool and done66 supports its use. Here is how to activate self-exclusion through a typical operator platform referenced on this site. Exact steps may vary by operator — check your operator's responsible gambling or account settings section for specific instructions.
Access the operator platform through a secure HTTPS connection. Ensure you are logged in to the account you wish to restrict. Do not use shared devices for this process.
Look for a "Responsible Gambling", "Player Protection" or "Account Limits" section within your account settings. This is typically accessible from the main account menu or footer navigation.
Choose between a temporary cooling-off period (24 hours to several weeks) or a longer self-exclusion term. For serious concerns, select the maximum available period or permanent exclusion.
You may be asked to verify your identity before exclusion is processed. Confirm your decision. Self-exclusion typically takes effect immediately or within a very short period of confirmation.
If you cannot access self-exclusion through account settings, contact the operator's support team directly. Request self-exclusion in writing so there is a record of your request.
Gambling harm does not affect only the person gambling — it affects families across Pakistan. If you are concerned about the gambling behaviour of a family member or close friend, the following steps may help.
Have an honest, non-judgmental conversation. Choose a calm moment and express your concern clearly and compassionately. Avoid accusations or ultimatums in the first instance — the goal is to open a dialogue, not to create defensiveness.
Educate yourself about problem gambling. Understanding the nature of gambling disorder — that it is a behavioural condition, not a moral failure — helps you respond with empathy rather than frustration.
Encourage professional support. Suggest that the person seek help from a qualified counsellor or support organisation. Offer to accompany them to an initial appointment if they are willing.
Protect shared finances. If gambling is affecting shared household finances in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or elsewhere, consider practical steps to separate financial access while the issue is being addressed.
Support Is Available: Done66 recommends users and their families seek guidance from internationally recognised responsible gambling organisations. Operator platforms referenced on done66 also provide direct responsible gambling support contacts. Reach out — help is available in English and Urdu.
Done66 has a strict adults-only policy. No part of this Platform is intended for, accessible to or marketed toward individuals under the age of 18 — or any higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or licence jurisdiction. We take this responsibility seriously and support all industry efforts to prevent underage gambling.
If you share a device with younger family members — as is common in many Pakistani households in Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and elsewhere — please take the following steps to prevent accidental access to gambling content:
If you suspect a minor has accessed a gambling platform through your account, contact the operator's support team immediately to report the incident and review account activity.
Or the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or applicable licence jurisdiction. Age does not imply legality in Pakistan.
If gambling is negatively affecting your life, your finances or your relationships, please reach out for support. The following are types of support resources that may be available — done66 recommends seeking guidance from your operator platform's dedicated responsible gambling support team as a first step.
The operator platform you use should have a dedicated responsible gambling support function — accessible 24/7 in many cases. Contact the operator's live chat or email support to request a self-exclusion, limit adjustment or account review.
Qualified counsellors and psychologists who specialise in behavioural addictions can provide individual therapy for problem gambling. Ask your doctor or a mental health professional for a referral to a suitable counsellor in your city.
For Pakistani users, community and family networks are often a first source of support. Speaking to a trusted family member, religious counsellor or community elder can be a meaningful first step toward addressing a gambling problem.
A Note on Support Resources: Done66 does not list specific third-party helpline numbers or website links on this page to avoid linking to external sites. If you need direct support contact details, please: (1) check the responsible gambling section of the operator platform you use, (2) search for your country's nationally recognised gambling support helpline, or (3) contact done66 support at [email protected] — displayed as plain text only — and request guidance. Support is available in English and Urdu. Response times vary.
