Gaming is Entertainment — Keep It That Way
The vast majority of 92kr players enjoy the platform as a form of leisure — catching live PSL odds, spinning a few reels after work, or testing their cricket knowledge on T20 betting markets. For most people it stays exactly that: fun. But we know that for some players, gaming habits can start to feel harder to manage. That is why responsible gaming is a core part of how 92kr operates — not an afterthought.
This page gives you practical guidance on how to keep your gaming balanced, explains the warning signs to watch for in yourself or people around you, and outlines the tools available on 92kr to help you stay in control of your time and your PKR budget. None of this is meant to make gaming feel complicated — it is simply here so that if you ever need it, you know exactly what to do.
Only ever play with money you have specifically set aside for entertainment — never with funds needed for rent, food, school fees or bills. If you have reached your budget for the day, stop and come back another time.
Strict minimum age for all 92kr players — no exceptions
Always set a PKR budget before your session, not after
Walk away when you hit your limit — wins and losses alike
Support is always available if gaming stops feeling fun
Tools & Principles for Safer Play
These six principles cover the core habits that keep gaming enjoyable and manageable for Pakistani players on 92kr.
Set a PKR Budget
Decide on a fixed PKR amount you are comfortable spending on gaming before each session. Treat it the same as a cinema ticket or dinner out — once it's gone, the session is over. Never top up to chase a loss.
Manage Your Time
Set a time limit for each gaming session before you start. Use your phone's alarm or screen time tracker to keep yourself honest. Regular breaks — even five minutes — help you stay clear-headed and in control of your decisions.
Never Chase Losses
Chasing a loss is the single most common way a fun session turns into a stressful one. If the luck is not with you today — on cricket betting, slots or anywhere else — accept it, close the app and return another day with a fresh budget.
Self-Exclusion Option
If you feel that gaming is becoming difficult to manage, you can contact 92kr support to request a self-exclusion period. During this time your account will be suspended and you will not be able to deposit, play or place bets.
Deposit Limits
You can contact 92kr support to request a daily, weekly or monthly PKR deposit limit on your account. Once set, the limit cannot be increased immediately — there is a cooling-off period to protect you from impulse decisions.
Reality Checks
It is easy to lose track of time during a live PSL betting session or an extended slot session. Step back period ically — check the clock, check your balance, and ask yourself honestly whether you are still playing for fun or for something else.
Practical Tips Before You Play
A few simple habits before each session make a significant difference. These are not restrictions — they are the same practices used by players who consistently enjoy gaming without it becoming a source of stress.
Check Your Mood First
Do not open 92kr when you are stressed, tired, angry or upset. Emotional states affect decision-making. Gaming when you feel low tends to lead to bigger bets and worse results. Wait until you are relaxed and thinking clearly.
Write Down Your Limit
Before you deposit, write down your PKR limit for the session — on paper or in your phone's notes app. Seeing the number makes it real and harder to ignore once you are in the middle of a session.
Avoid Back-to-Back Sessions
Give yourself a gap between gaming sessions. If you played yesterday, consider taking today off entirely. Distance from the platform keeps perspective fresh and prevents habit from becoming compulsion.
Keep Other Activities in Your Routine
Gaming is healthiest when it is one of many things you enjoy — not the main event. Make sure cricket matches with friends, family time, exercise and other interests stay part of your regular routine alongside 92kr.
Never Borrow Money to Play
Borrowing PKR — from friends, family or any credit facility — specifically to fund gaming is a serious warning sign. Gaming should only ever be funded from your own disposable income.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Most people never experience these issues, but knowing what to look for — in yourself or someone close to you — means you can act early before things escalate.
Spending more than planned — You regularly end up depositing more PKR than you intended when you started the session, telling yourself "just one more top-up".
Chasing losses obsessively — After a losing session you feel a strong urge to immediately get back on the platform to win the money back, regardless of how late it is or what else you should be doing.
Gaming affecting relationships — People at home — family members, a spouse, parents — have started commenting on the amount of time or money you spend on gaming.
Hiding gaming activity — You delete transaction history, lie about how much time you spend on 92kr, or feel the need to keep your gaming a secret from people who know you.
Gaming to escape problems — Instead of dealing with stress, financial worries or personal problems, you find yourself turning to the platform as a way to switch off or avoid thinking about them.
Neglecting responsibilities — Work, studies, household duties or financial obligations are being missed or delayed because of time or money spent on gaming.
Recognising a problem early is a strength, not a weakness. Contact 92kr support to discuss self-exclusion or deposit limit options. Take a break, speak to someone you trust, and give yourself time away from the platform.
Quick Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly — this is for your own awareness, not submitted anywhere. If you answer "yes" to three or more, consider taking a break from the platform and talking to someone you trust.
Have you ever spent more PKR on gaming than you originally planned in a single sitting?
Have you ever felt restless, irritable or anxious when you tried to cut back on gaming or stop completely?
Have you used gaming as a way to escape from problems, stress or a low mood?
Have you ever lied to a family member or friend about how much time or money you have spent gaming?
Have you ever tried to win back money you had lost — depositing more PKR specifically to recover a previous loss?
Has gaming ever caused problems with your relationships, work, studies or personal finances?
If you answered yes to one or two questions, keep an eye on your habits and apply the budgeting and time management tips on this page. Three or more yes answers suggests gaming may be having a negative impact — please reach out to 92kr support and consider a break. Asking for help early is always the right call.
18+ Only — Protecting Young People
92kr is strictly an adults-only platform. Players must be 18 years of age or older to register, deposit, play or bet. Age verification may be required at any point during account registration or before a withdrawal is processed.
If you share a device with younger family members — siblings, children or others under 18 — please make sure your 92kr account is protected with a strong, unique password that they cannot guess. Log out of the platform when you are not actively using it, and consider enabling your device's parental control or screen time restriction features to prevent access to gaming and betting sites.
If you suspect that a minor has accessed or registered an account on 92kr, contact support immediately. Accounts confirmed as belonging to minors will be closed and no funds will be paid out. Protecting young people is a responsibility we take very seriously at 92kr.
How to Request Account Controls
If you decide you need a harder boundary than personal willpower alone, the following account controls are available. Contact 92kr support with your request and we will apply the restriction to your account promptly.
Deposit Limit
Request a daily, weekly or monthly PKR cap on how much you can deposit. Once active, the limit cannot be raised without a cooling-off period.
Temporary Suspension
Take a short break — request a 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day account suspension. During this time you cannot log in, deposit or place any bets.
Self-Exclusion
For a longer-term break, request full self-exclusion. Your account will be locked for a minimum period and you will be removed from all marketing communications.
To request any account control, contact 92kr support and reference "Responsible Gaming Request" so our team can handle it as a priority. You can also visit our FAQ page for more details on how these controls work.
