Play Responsibly · Stay in Control
Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — nothing more. bekpkr is committed to providing Pakistani players with the tools, knowledge and support they need to stay in control at every step.
18+ Only | Adults Access OnlyAt bekpkr, responsible gambling is not a legal footnote — it is a foundational principle. We believe that every Pakistani player deserves access to clear, practical information about the risks that come with online betting, and the tools to manage those risks before they become problems.
Whether you are a cricket fan in Karachi following PSL markets, a casual casino player in Lahore, or a first-time bettor in Islamabad, the same rules apply: gambling is for entertainment. It is not a reliable way to earn income, clear debt, or solve financial difficulties. Chasing losses is one of the clearest warning signs that gambling has moved from recreation into harm.
Every tool, resource and piece of guidance on this page is designed to keep you — not the platform — in the driver's seat. Read through the sections below carefully. If any of it feels personally relevant, please use the tools available or reach out for support.
bekpkr provides a suite of player protection tools designed to give you meaningful control over your gambling activity. These are not hidden away — they are built into the platform experience.
Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit over a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once your chosen limit is reached, deposits are blocked for that period. Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increases are subject to a mandatory reflection period before they activate.
Cap the maximum amount you are willing to lose within a set time period — daily, weekly or monthly. Once your loss limit is hit, further wagering is suspended until the limit period resets. This is a powerful tool for budget discipline, particularly during high-intensity sports events like PSL or ICC tournaments.
Set a maximum duration for a single gambling session. When your time limit is reached, you will receive an alert and be automatically logged out. This tool is especially useful for preventing extended late-night sessions — a common pattern in problem gambling behaviour.
Request a temporary account suspension ranging from 24 hours to six weeks. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. Cool-off periods take effect immediately upon request. They are a useful step when you feel you need a short break without committing to full self-exclusion.
Request a longer-term or permanent self-exclusion if you believe gambling is causing you harm. Self-exclusion suspends your account for the selected period — options typically range from 6 months to permanent. During self-exclusion, you must not attempt to open a new account or circumvent the restriction in any way.
Opt in to regular on-screen notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or lost in that session. Reality checks create natural pause points that allow you to make a conscious decision about whether to continue — a simple but effective habit-building tool.
All responsible gambling tools are accessible directly from your Account settings. Here is how to put them to work:
Access your bekpkr account from your desktop or mobile browser. All responsible gambling tools are available from day one — no additional permissions required.
Find the Responsible Gambling section within your account dashboard. It is prominently positioned — not buried in small print. Look for the shield or "Safer Play" icon.
Select the tool you want — deposit limit, loss limit, session timer, cool-off or self-exclusion. Enter your chosen values. Tightening limits takes immediate effect. Loosening limits requires a mandatory waiting period for your protection.
Confirm your selection. You will receive a confirmation notification. Keep in mind: if you ever feel your limits are not working or you need stronger intervention, contact our support team immediately at [email protected].

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, age, city or experience level. Recognising the warning signs early is the most important step towards getting help. Review the following honestly and without judgement:
Answer the following honestly. If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, it may be worth reviewing your gambling habits and activating protective tools on your account.
Have you ever missed work, study or family commitments because of gambling?
Have you gambled to try to solve a financial problem or pay off a debt?
Has a family member or close friend ever expressed concern about your gambling?
Have you ever lied about how much time or money you spend gambling?
Do you feel a strong urge to gamble when you are feeling bored, stressed or upset?
Have you spent more than you planned during a gambling session more than three times in the last month?
Have you ever deposited money you could not afford to lose, telling yourself you would win it back?
These are not rules — they are practical habits that responsible gamblers consistently apply. Building them into your routine makes a measurable difference.
Decide exactly how much you are willing to spend before you open the app or site. Treat it as money spent on entertainment — like a cinema ticket or dinner. If that amount is gone, the session is over. Never dip into a second fund to continue.
Set a timer — whether through the platform's session limit or your phone — before each session begins. When it goes off, stop. No exceptions. Time distortion (losing track of how long you have been playing) is one of the mechanisms that leads to over-spending.
Every time you place a bet to "win back" a loss, you are making a decision driven by emotion rather than logic. The odds do not change because you have already lost. Accept the loss, close the session, and return another day — or not at all.
Gambling while anxious, angry, emotionally drained or under financial pressure leads to poor decisions and escalating behaviour. If you are having a hard week in Rawalpindi or Faisalabad, close the app. Gambling will not fix the underlying problem — and may add to it.
Schedule gambling-free days into your week. Many players find that taking at least two or three days off per week — regardless of wins or losses — helps maintain a healthy relationship with the activity and keeps it in perspective as entertainment.
Secrecy around gambling is a red flag — both for yourself and for those who care about you. If you cannot openly discuss your gambling habits with a trusted family member or friend, ask yourself why. Transparency is one of the most effective natural regulators of gambling behaviour.
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gambling tool available through bekpkr. It is designed for users who believe their gambling has become harmful and who need a meaningful barrier between themselves and the platform.
When you self-exclude, your account is suspended for the period you select. During this time, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. Any pending withdrawal requests will be processed normally. Self-exclusion takes effect immediately upon confirmation.
Self-exclusion periods can be extended at any time — but cannot be shortened. This is intentional: it ensures that self-exclusion is a genuine protective measure, not just a temporary pause that can be reversed on impulse.
To request self-exclusion, contact our support team directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your account username and the duration you are requesting. Our team will action the request within one business day.
If gambling is affecting your wellbeing, your finances, or your relationships, external support is available. The following are general categories of support that users in Pakistan and internationally may be able to access. bekpkr does not endorse specific organisations but encourages users to seek help from qualified professionals.
Pakistan has a number of mental health and psychological support organisations operating in major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar. Search for "mental health support Pakistan" to find services available in your area. Your GP or a local hospital's psychiatry department can also provide a referral.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has strong clinical evidence for treating problem gambling. Licensed therapists and psychologists in major Pakistani cities offer both in-person and online sessions. Ask your GP for a referral or search for registered practitioners through recognised professional psychology bodies.
Peer support groups — where individuals share experiences and strategies under facilitated guidance — are available in some Pakistani cities and through international online platforms. Sharing your experience with others who understand can be an important part of recovery.
If gambling-related distress is causing you thoughts of self-harm or severe psychological crisis, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline in your area immediately. In Pakistan, contact emergency services on 115 (Rescue) or visit your nearest hospital emergency department.
bekpkr enforces strict adults-only access. But protecting minors from exposure to gambling also depends on responsible behaviour by adults in the household.
All bekpkr accounts must complete KYC identity verification before full access is granted. This includes documentary confirmation of age via CNIC or passport. Any account found to belong to a person under the minimum age will be immediately closed and all associated funds forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
Attempting to register using another person's identity documents to circumvent the age requirement is a serious breach of our terms and may be referred to the relevant authorities.
If you share a device with children or young adults in your household, take the following precautions:
