Responsible Gambling at funpkr

Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — nothing more. funpkr is committed to providing every user with the information, tools and support needed to keep gaming in healthy perspective. This page covers our 18+ policy, the player protection tools available, warning signs of problem gambling, and how to get help if you need it.

Need help right now? If gambling is causing you serious distress, financial hardship or harm to people around you, please step away from the platform and contact a qualified support service in your area. Independent support is available. You can also contact funpkr support directly to request immediate self-exclusion — see the Self-Exclusion section below for how to do this.


Six Pillars of Responsible Play

Every element of funpkr's responsible gambling framework is built around these core principles — from account registration to ongoing play.

Strict 18+ Age Verification

funpkr enforces a minimum age of 18 years — or the higher minimum required by the operator's license jurisdiction — for all account holders. Identity verification is mandatory before deposits and withdrawals are permitted.

Deposit & Loss Limits

Users can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit and loss limits directly through their account settings. Reductions apply immediately. Increases are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period before taking effect.

Session Time Controls

Set session time reminders that alert you when you've been logged in for a defined period. It's easy to lose track of time during live cricket or PSL match betting — time reminders help keep sessions intentional.

Cool-Off Periods

If you need a short break, a cool-off period temporarily suspends your account. During this time you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. Cool-off periods range from 24 hours to several weeks depending on your needs.

Self-Exclusion

Users who need a longer break can apply for self-exclusion — a formal account closure for a defined extended period. Self-exclusion requests are processed promptly. Attempting to open new accounts during self-exclusion is prohibited.

Support & Resources

funpkr signposts users to qualified responsible gambling support organisations. Our support team handles responsible gambling enquiries in English and Urdu during Pakistan Standard Time hours.


Adults Only — 18+ Strictly Enforced

funpkr is an adults-only platform. The minimum age to register and use any service on funpkr is 18 years of age, or the higher minimum age required by the operator's license jurisdiction — whichever is greater.

This isn't just a checkbox. We enforce age verification as part of our mandatory KYC process — every user must submit valid identity documentation before deposits and withdrawals are processed. Date of birth is verified against supporting documents, not just self-declared.

If an account is found to belong to a minor, it will be closed immediately, all funds frozen pending review, and any winnings forfeited. This is non-negotiable.

Important — Pakistan Legal Context: Meeting the minimum age requirement does not make gambling lawful in Pakistan. Pakistan has gambling restrictions under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. The legal status of online gambling in Pakistan depends on applicable law and jurisdiction. funpkr is not licensed by any Pakistani government authority. Users must independently verify whether their participation is lawful under applicable local law.

Protecting Young People Online

If you share your device with younger family members, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions:

Use a Strong, Private Password

Never store your funpkr login credentials in a shared browser or autofill service accessible to others in your household.

Log Out After Every Session

Always log out of your funpkr account when you finish a session, especially on shared mobile devices common in Pakistani households.

Secure Your Device

Enable screen lock with PIN or biometric authentication on your mobile device to prevent unauthorised access to your account.

Consider Parental Controls

Browser-level and network-level parental controls can restrict access to gambling content on shared home networks or devices used by children.


Player Protection Tools in Detail

All tools listed here are accessible through your account settings or by contacting support. There is no cost to activate any player protection measure.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your account over a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. For example, you might set a limit of PKR 5,000 per week. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.

How to activate: Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Deposit Limits. Changes that reduce your limit apply instantly. Limit increases require a mandatory review period before taking effect.

Available Now
Loss Limits

Cap the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period. If your losses reach the set threshold — for example, PKR 10,000 in a week — your account is automatically restricted from further play until the period resets.

How to activate: Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Loss Limits. As with deposit limits, reductions are immediate while increases are subject to a cooling-off review.

Available Now
Session Time Reminders

Choose an interval — for example, every 30 minutes or every hour — and the platform will display a pop-up notification reminding you how long you have been active. You can choose to continue or end your session at that point.

Why it matters: Immersive cricket live betting or T20 match wagering can make time pass quickly. Session reminders help you stay in control of how long you engage.

Available Now
Wager & Bet Limits

Beyond deposit and loss caps, you can also set a limit on the maximum amount per individual bet or wager. This is particularly useful for sports bettors who want to control impulse wagering during high-intensity live events like PSL finals or ICC knockout matches.

How to activate: Available in the Responsible Gambling section of your Account Settings. Contact support if you need assistance configuring these limits.

Available Now
Cool-Off Period

A cool-off period is a temporary, voluntary account suspension. During a cool-off, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. You can choose a period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. Your account and funds are preserved for when the period ends.

How to activate: Contact support with your account details and the duration you require. Cool-off requests are processed promptly — typically within one working hour.

Contact Support
Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a formal, extended account closure. It is designed for users who feel they need a meaningful break from gambling for a significant period. Self-exclusion periods range from six months to permanent closure depending on your circumstances.

How to activate: Contact support and state that you wish to self-exclude. Your request will be actioned promptly. During self-exclusion, you must not attempt to open new accounts — doing so breaches our Terms & Conditions.

Contact Support
PKR Limit Context: All deposit, loss and wager limits on funpkr are denominated in your account currency. Where PKR (Pakistani Rupee) is used, limits are expressed in PKR. For example, a PKR 3,000 daily deposit limit means no more than Rs 3,000 can be deposited per calendar day. Illustrative figures used on this page (e.g., "PKR 5,000" or "PKR 10,000") are examples only — actual limits are set by you in account settings and are not imposed minimums or maximums by funpkr unless defined by platform policy.

Self-Exclusion — What It Means and How It Works

Self-exclusion is one of the most important tools available to a player who feels that gambling has become a problem. It is not a punishment — it is a decision you make for yourself, and funpkr fully supports it. Here is exactly how the process works on funpkr:

  • 1 Contact funpkr support via email at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). State clearly that you wish to apply for self-exclusion and specify the period you are requesting: six months, one year, five years or permanent exclusion.
  • 2 Support will confirm your identity against your registered account details to ensure the request is genuine and the correct account is actioned.
  • 3 Your account is closed for the duration of the self-exclusion period. You will receive a confirmation. Your remaining balance, if any, will be processed in accordance with our withdrawal policy and the specifics of your request.
  • 4 During your self-exclusion period, you must not attempt to open a new funpkr account under any name or email address. Attempting to do so is a breach of our Terms & Conditions and will result in any new account being closed and associated funds frozen.
  • 5 At the end of a time-limited self-exclusion period, your account is not automatically reopened. You must contact support to request reinstatement, which will include a review process and may include a brief cool-off check before access is restored.
Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible. If you select permanent exclusion, your account will be closed on a permanent basis. funpkr will not accept reinstatement requests for permanently self-excluded accounts. Please consider your decision carefully before selecting this option.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise from the inside. The following patterns are widely recognised indicators that gambling may have moved from entertainment into something more harmful. If several of these apply to you or someone you care about, please take them seriously.

Chasing Losses

Placing more bets specifically to recover money already lost, often with increasing stakes to "get back to even".

Borrowing or Selling to Fund Gambling

Taking loans, borrowing from family or selling personal items to have money to gamble with — especially in secret.

Concealing Gambling Activity

Hiding bet amounts, account activity or losses from family members — particularly common when the overall household budget is affected.

Preoccupation with Gambling

Constantly thinking about gambling, upcoming bets, how to find more funds or reliving previous wins and losses throughout the day.

More Signs to Watch For

Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, family commitments or important personal responsibilities because of time or energy spent on gambling.

Gambling as an Escape

Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, financial pressure or negative emotions rather than for entertainment.

Failed Attempts to Stop

Wanting to cut back or stop gambling but finding it difficult or impossible to do so — repeatedly setting and then breaking personal limits.

Escalating Stakes for the Same Thrill

Needing to bet increasing amounts — higher PKR stakes, more markets, longer sessions — to feel the same level of excitement as before.


A Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly — to yourself, not to us. If you answer "yes" to three or more of the following, we encourage you to talk to someone or use the player protection tools available on your account.

1

Have you ever gambled more money than you initially planned to in a single session?

2

Have you felt restless, irritable or anxious when trying to cut back on gambling?

3

Have you ever lied to a family member, friend or colleague about how much time or money you spend on gambling?

4

Have you ever used money intended for household expenses — rent, groceries, school fees, utility bills — to fund gambling instead?

5

After a significant loss, have you felt a strong urge to return immediately to try to win back what you lost?

6

Has gambling caused significant stress, conflict, or concern for someone close to you?

7

Have you ever taken time off work, missed family obligations or social commitments because of gambling activity?

8

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling — planning your next session, calculating your next bet — at times when you're doing something entirely unrelated?

What to do if you answered yes to several of these: You are not alone, and reaching out is the right move. Contact funpkr support to activate a cool-off period or self-exclusion immediately. You can also seek confidential support from recognised gambling support organisations in your region.

Independent Support Organisations

For confidential, independent support from organisations that specialise in gambling-related harm, funpkr recommends seeking out support services that operate in the operator's license jurisdiction or your own country.

Internationally recognised responsible gambling support bodies include GamCare, Gamblers Anonymous and BeGambleAware. These are independent organisations — not affiliated with funpkr — and provide free, confidential support.

funpkr does not provide links to external sites. Please search for these organisations directly in your browser. These mentions are for informational context only — funpkr is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of these organisations.

Pakistan Context Note: Dedicated problem gambling helplines specific to Pakistan may be limited at this time. Users in Pakistan who are experiencing gambling-related harm are encouraged to seek support from general mental health services, community counselling resources or trusted family support networks. If gambling has led to financial hardship, speaking to a financial advisor or debt counsellor may also be helpful. funpkr does not provide legal, financial, medical or mental health advice.

Gambling as Entertainment — Keeping It That Way

The core principle behind responsible gambling is simple: gambling is a form of entertainment, in the same category as buying a PSL match ticket or taking the family to the cinema. When you pay for a PSL Final ticket, you don't expect to profit from the experience financially — you pay for the entertainment value of the event itself. Gambling works best when approached with the same mindset.

Decide your budget before you start. Before logging in to place a bet on an ICC match or to play a few rounds of live casino, decide in advance exactly how much you are comfortable spending. That amount — like a cinema ticket — should be money you can afford to lose entirely without it affecting your household budget, your family's welfare or your financial obligations.

Accept the reality of the odds. All casino games and sports betting markets are designed with a house edge. Over a long enough time period, the mathematical expectation for the player is negative. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy a winning session — many people do — but it does mean gambling should never be relied upon as a source of income or a method of recovering from financial difficulty.

Time is also a resource. Responsible gambling isn't only about money. Spending excessive time on gambling — at the expense of work, family, sleep or personal wellbeing — is also a harm worth recognising. Use session reminders and take breaks, especially during long live-betting events.

If gambling stops being fun, stop. The moment gambling begins to feel like an obligation, an escape, or a stressful necessity rather than an enjoyable recreation, it has moved out of the entertainment category. That is the right moment to use the tools on this page.
