At 1mgame, we believe that online gaming is entertainment — and like any form of entertainment, it should be enjoyed within limits that work for you. This page explains the tools we provide, the warning signs to watch for, and how to access support if gambling stops being fun.
18+ only, or the higher minimum required by the operator/license jurisdiction. Local laws — including Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 — may restrict gambling. Play within your means.
1mgame treats responsible gambling as a core product feature — not a compliance footnote. Limits, controls and self-exclusion are accessible from your account dashboard at any time.
Gambling should never be used to chase financial losses, relieve stress or substitute for professional financial or psychological support.
The Fundamentals
Responsible gambling is not about never having a bad session or always winning. It is about maintaining control over when you play, how much you wager and how you respond when things do not go your way. For the overwhelming majority of players, online gaming is exactly what it should be: an enjoyable pastime that fits within a broader, balanced life.
Problems arise when gambling stops being a choice and starts feeling like a compulsion — when players wager money they cannot afford to lose, when bets escalate to recover losses, or when gambling begins to affect relationships, work or mental health. Recognising this shift early is the most effective form of prevention.
1mgame's responsible gambling framework is built around three principles: prevention (giving you the tools to stay in control before problems develop), early intervention (monitoring patterns and prompting action when warning signs appear), and access to support (making it easy to pause, limit or exit the platform at any time).
For players based in Pakistan and other markets, we also want to be direct about legal context. Pakistan has gambling restrictions in place, and 1mgame does not claim to be authorised or endorsed by the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan or any Pakistani financial institution. Participation on this platform is a personal decision that carries legal considerations unique to your location.
Healthy Play vs. Problem Play
Account Controls
Every tool below is available directly from the Responsible Gambling section of your account dashboard. No need to contact support for most of these — you are in direct control.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly or monthly period. A PKR 10,000 weekly cap, for example, ensures your gambling spend never exceeds what you have decided in advance. Reductions apply immediately; increases are subject to a cooling-off period.
Set a net loss cap for a defined period. Once your total losses reach the cap — whether from sports bets on a PSL match or casino game rounds — the account is restricted from further wagering until the period resets. Ideal for controlling downside risk.
Set a maximum per-bet or per-spin stake amount. This prevents individual bets from escalating during a session and is particularly useful for players who find it difficult to resist increasing stakes when chasing a win.
Enable session reminders that notify you after a chosen play duration, or set hard session limits that log you out automatically when your chosen time is reached. Regular breaks are one of the simplest and most effective responsible gambling measures.
Take a short break from the platform without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods can be set from 24 hours to several weeks. During this period, your account will be restricted from deposits and betting activity.
Request a temporary (minimum 6 months) or permanent exclusion from the platform. Self-exclusions are processed promptly, cannot be reversed within the chosen period, and disable marketing communications for the duration. Available via account settings or Live Chat.
Step-by-Step
Access your 1mgame account from your mobile browser or desktop. Most Pakistani players use the mobile interface — it works identically on Android and iOS browsers.
Select your account icon or profile menu in the top navigation. From there, locate the "Responsible Gambling" or "Player Protection" section.
Select the type of control you want to apply — deposit limit, loss limit, wager limit, session timer, cooling-off period or self-exclusion — and follow the on-screen prompts.
Enter your chosen limit value (in PKR for financial limits, or in time units for session controls) and select the applicable period (daily, weekly or monthly where relevant).
Reductions and new restrictions apply immediately upon confirmation. Increases to existing limits are subject to a cooling-off period. You will receive a confirmation notification to your registered email address.
If you cannot access these settings or need immediate assistance, contact support via Live Chat at any time.
Limit Reference
| Limit Type | Periods Available | Takes Effect | Reversible? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately (reductions) | Increase after cooling-off |
| Loss Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately (reductions) | Increase after cooling-off |
| Wager Limit | Per bet / Per spin | Immediately | Increase after cooling-off |
| Session Time Limit | Per session | Immediately | Yes, at any time |
| Cooling-Off Period | 24h / 1w / 1m+ | Immediately | No — until period ends |
| Self-Exclusion | 6 months / 1 year / Permanent | Immediately | No — until min. period ends |
When you request an increase to an existing financial limit (e.g., raising a weekly deposit cap from PKR 10,000 to PKR 20,000), the increase does not take effect immediately. A cooling-off period of at least 24 hours applies. This delay is intentional — it prevents impulsive limit increases made during an active session. The current (lower) limit remains in force during the cooling-off window.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling does not always look obvious. It often develops gradually — a few more bets here, slightly higher stakes there — until it begins to affect daily life in ways that are hard to ignore. If any of the signs below apply to you or someone you know, please take action rather than waiting for the situation to worsen.
Chasing losses — increasing bet sizes after a losing session to try to win back what was lost. This is one of the most dangerous gambling behaviours and typically accelerates losses rather than reversing them.
Gambling with money meant for essentials — spending funds allocated for rent, groceries, utility bills or family expenses on bets or casino games.
Hiding gambling activity — lying to family members, friends or employers about the amount of time spent gambling or the money involved.
Mood dependency — feeling irritable, anxious or depressed when not able to gamble, or using gambling as a primary way to manage stress or negative emotions.
Borrowing to gamble — taking loans, using credit cards or borrowing from family to fund gambling activity. This is a significant escalation signal.
Inability to stop — repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling, even when you genuinely want to.
Quick Self-Check
Tick any statements that apply to your recent gambling behaviour. This is an informal self-check, not a clinical assessment.
Ticking even one of these statements is worth taking seriously. Please consider using the self-exclusion or cooling-off tool in your account settings, and seek support from a recognised responsible gambling resource in your jurisdiction without delay.
The Strongest Tool
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gambling measure available to you on 1mgame. Here is exactly what happens when you use it.
Your account is immediately suspended. You cannot log in, place bets, access casino games or make deposits for the duration of the chosen exclusion period.
All promotional emails, bonus notifications and platform marketing communications are disabled immediately and remain disabled for the full exclusion period.
Any verified Real-Money balance in your account remains secure during the exclusion period. You may request withdrawal of real-money funds via the support team even while excluded.
Self-exclusions cannot be shortened or reversed within the chosen period — not even if you contact support and request reinstatement. This is intentional and is for your protection.
Getting Help
If you believe gambling is causing harm to you or someone you know, please reach out to recognised support resources. 1mgame strongly encourages players to seek professional help rather than trying to manage a gambling problem alone.
Recognised responsible gambling support organisations operate in many jurisdictions and provide confidential guidance to anyone affected by problem gambling — whether a player or a family member. Relevant organisations include:
These organisations are text references only. 1mgame is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these organisations.
For players in Pakistan, professional counselling and mental health support is available through hospitals, clinics and some NGOs in major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar. If a friend or family member is struggling, offering non-judgmental support and encouraging them to seek professional help is one of the most effective things you can do.
Our support team can process self-exclusion, apply limits and provide information about responsible gambling tools at any time via Live Chat. Contact us at: [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link).
