// player protection
At sixgme, responsible gambling is not a legal checkbox — it is a core part of how we build and operate the Platform. We provide tools, information and support to help every Pakistani player stay in control and keep gambling enjoyable.
// our commitment
Gambling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment — and for millions of players in Pakistan and around the world, it remains exactly that: a fun, exciting way to engage with sport, test your knowledge of cricket markets, or enjoy the atmosphere of a live casino table. When it stays in that space, it is a perfectly legitimate leisure activity.
The problem starts when gambling stops being fun. When it becomes a way to recover lost money, a source of stress, or something that affects your finances, family or daily life — that is when it has moved from entertainment into a problem that needs to be addressed directly.
sixgme's responsible gambling framework exists to help players stay on the right side of that line. Our tools are available to every registered player at all times, without barriers, delays or pressure. You can set limits, take breaks, or close your account entirely — and we will support that decision without question.
We are also transparent about something important: gambling carries genuine financial risk. The house edge is real. Variance is real. No strategy eliminates the long-term mathematical disadvantage of any casino game. Responsible gambling starts with understanding this clearly before placing your first bet.
Pakistan Legal Context: Gambling regulation in Pakistan falls under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 and related provincial laws. sixgme does not claim endorsement or licensing from any Pakistani government authority. Understanding the laws applicable in your jurisdiction is your personal responsibility. This page does not constitute legal advice.
// built-in tools
Every protection tool listed below is available directly from your Account dashboard, active 24/7, without needing to contact support. Limits set by you are applied immediately.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increases may be subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions during a losing session.
Instant ActivationCap the maximum net loss you are prepared to sustain within a set period. When you reach your loss limit, further wagering is restricted for the remainder of that period. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing chasing behaviour — the tendency to keep betting after losses in an attempt to recover them.
Instant ActivationDefine the maximum duration of a single gaming session. When the timer expires, you will receive a notification or be logged out automatically — depending on the enforcement level you select. Long, uninterrupted sessions increase the risk of impulsive decisions, and session limits are the simplest way to counter that.
Instant ActivationEnable periodic in-session notifications that display how long you have been playing and your net session result. Reality checks are an important mental reset — a moment to consciously decide whether to continue playing or log off. They are particularly useful during live casino or in-play betting sessions.
Configurable IntervalsRequest a temporary break from the Platform — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — without permanently closing your account. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit or place wagers. Promotional communications are also suspended. This option is ideal if you feel you need some distance but are not ready to self-exclude permanently.
No Reversal During PeriodRequest a longer-term or permanent exclusion from the Platform. Self-exclusion periods range from six months to five years, with a permanent option available. Once active, the exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. We process self-exclusion requests promptly — no delay, no pressure, no questions asked beyond what is needed to implement the exclusion.
Permanent Option AvailableAll protection tools are located inside your personal Account dashboard, accessible from any device at any time.
Navigate to the "Responsible Gambling" or "Player Protection" section within your Account settings.
Choose the tool you want, set your preferred limits or duration, and confirm. Reductions and exclusions take effect immediately.
If you are unable to access your dashboard, our 24/7 support team can activate any protection tool on your behalf within minutes. Reach us in English or Urdu.
// recognise the signs
Problem gambling rarely develops overnight. It typically starts with small, unnoticed changes in behaviour — spending a little longer at the tables than planned, replacing a cricket match with a betting session, or feeling irritated when forced to stop playing. Recognising these patterns early is the most effective form of prevention.
The following signs do not necessarily mean you have a gambling problem — but if several of them apply to you consistently, it is worth taking a step back and using the tools available on your Account.
// healthy habits
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you log in — not after. Treat it the same way you would a cinema ticket or a meal out: money spent for entertainment, not an investment with an expected return.
Decide in advance how long you will play and stick to it. Use the Platform's session timer as a hard stop, not just a notification. Breaks between sessions help you make clearer decisions.
Every casino game has a house edge. RTP (Return to Player) figures are long-term averages over millions of rounds — they do not predict individual session outcomes. The sportsbook sets odds to include a margin. Informed players bet for entertainment, not profit.
Chasing losses is the single most common driver of problem gambling. If your session budget is spent, the right decision is always to stop. The next session is a separate event — and increasing stakes to recover does not change the underlying mathematics.
// self-assessment
Take a moment to honestly reflect on these questions. This is not a clinical diagnostic — it is a personal check-in designed to prompt self-awareness. There are no scores, no results and no data collected.
For each question, consider whether your honest answer is "Yes", "Sometimes" or "No".
// player & family support
Problem gambling affects individuals and the people around them. sixgme takes both dimensions seriously.
If a family member or close friend appears to have a gambling problem, their account holder status means sixgme cannot share account information with third parties — but we can point you and them toward appropriate support resources. Encourage them to contact our support team or use their Account's self-exclusion tools directly.
Third-party blocking software is available to restrict access to gambling websites across shared devices. These tools can be installed at the household or device level and are particularly useful for parents of young adults living in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or other cities. Contact our support team for general guidance on available options.
sixgme's support team is available around the clock to assist players across Pakistan. Whether you need to activate a limit, request self-exclusion, ask about account closure or simply talk through your concerns, our team is there — without judgement, in the language that suits you best.
sixgme encourages any player experiencing gambling-related difficulty to seek support from a qualified professional. In Pakistan, general mental health and counselling support is accessible through public healthcare providers and private practitioners in major cities. GamCare and GamblingTherapy are internationally recognised organisations providing online support, including services accessible from Pakistan. Contact our support team for guidance on reaching appropriate resources.
sixgme applies age verification at registration and enforces it through KYC checks throughout account operation. The Platform is restricted to adults of 18 years or older — or the higher minimum required by the applicable licence jurisdiction. If you suspect a minor has registered, contact support immediately. We will act without delay.
Financial counsellors consistently recommend treating gambling as a discretionary expense — alongside entertainment subscriptions, dining out or leisure activities. Approach each gambling session with a pre-set budget in PKR, separated from your essential monthly expenses. When that budget is spent, the session is over.
If gambling is causing a financial or mental health crisis: Please stop playing immediately and seek support from a qualified healthcare professional, financial counsellor or crisis helpline in your area. sixgme's self-exclusion tool will close your access to the Platform immediately upon request — contact support at any hour to activate it. Your wellbeing takes absolute priority over any account balance or pending bonus.
