If Gambling Is Affecting Your Life Right Now — Please Stop and Seek Help

If you feel that gambling is causing you financial difficulty, relationship strain, anxiety or other harm, do not wait. Use the self-exclusion tool in your Account settings immediately and reach out to a qualified support organisation. This page and the tools described here are available to you at any time — there is no shame in using them.

18+

Adults Only Access

hh95 is strictly an adult platform. Access is limited to individuals aged 18 years or over — or the higher minimum required by the applicable operator or licensing jurisdiction.

🔞 The 18+ threshold does not imply that gambling is lawful in all Pakistani contexts. Pakistan has gambling restrictions under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. Local laws may restrict participation. This is not legal advice.

Our Commitment to Responsible Play

At hh95, responsible gambling is not an afterthought — it is built into the fabric of how we operate. We recognise that for the vast majority of players in Pakistan, online gaming is a form of entertainment, something to enjoy during a PSL season, a T20 series, or a weekend evening in Lahore or Karachi. But we also know that for some players, gambling can become a problem, and we take that reality seriously.

Our responsible-gambling framework is designed to do three things: provide clear, honest information about the risks of gambling; give players practical tools to manage their activity; and make it easy to access support when things stop being fun.

Every feature described on this page is available to all hh95 users. These tools are not buried in small print or hidden away in obscure settings menus. We believe player welfare should be as easy to access as placing a bet — and we design our platform accordingly.

Note for Pakistani users: hh95 does not claim to be licensed, regulated or endorsed by the Government of Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the State Bank of Pakistan, or any Pakistani financial institution. Users are responsible for understanding and complying with applicable local law before participating in any gambling activity.

Responsible Gambling Tools

hh95 provides six core player-protection tools. Each is designed to give you meaningful control over your gambling activity — not just nominal control in theory.

Deposit Limits

Set a cap on how much you can deposit into your account over a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. For example, you might set a monthly deposit cap of PKR 5,000 to ensure gambling stays within your personal budget. Limits take effect immediately when reduced; increases may apply after a mandatory cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

A loss limit prevents your account from losing beyond a self-defined threshold within a given period. Once the limit is reached, you are prevented from placing further bets for the remainder of that period. This is a powerful tool for staying within your means — whether you set it at PKR 1,000 per session or PKR 10,000 per month, the limit enforces your own financial boundary on your behalf.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration — for example, 30 minutes or 2 hours. When your session reaches the defined limit, you will receive a prominent on-screen prompt and, if you choose, be automatically logged out. This helps prevent the "time distortion" that extended gambling sessions can create, where hours pass unnoticed. It is particularly useful for players who find themselves losing track of time during live cricket betting or slot sessions.

Reality Check Notifications

Reality checks are periodic on-screen alerts that appear at intervals you choose — every 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Each notification displays how long you have been playing, your net win/loss position for the session, and the option to continue or stop. They are designed to interrupt the "flow state" of gambling and give you a clear, factual snapshot of your current situation before you decide how to proceed.

Cooling-Off Periods

A cooling-off period is a temporary break — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days — during which your account is suspended. You cannot log in, deposit or place bets for the duration of the cooling-off period. This tool is ideal when you feel you need a break but are not ready to commit to full self-exclusion. It gives you a defined, enforced pause to reassess your gambling habits without permanently closing your account.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most decisive protective tool available. When you apply for self-exclusion, your account is blocked for a minimum period you specify — typically 6 months, 1 year, 3 years or permanently. During self-exclusion, you cannot access your account or receive promotional communications. You are also encouraged not to attempt to register a new account, as doing so would undermine the protection this tool provides. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.

Understanding Your Limits

Setting limits is an act of planning, not a sign of weakness. The most disciplined players — whether they are backing Pakistan in a T20 World Cup qualifier or trying a new live roulette variant — treat gambling as a defined entertainment budget, no different from a cinema ticket or a restaurant meal.

The examples below illustrate how a sensible limit structure might look for a player managing their gambling within a monthly budget. These figures are illustrative only — your limits should reflect your own personal financial situation and risk appetite.

Monthly Deposit Limit PKR 5,000
Weekly Loss Limit PKR 1,500
Daily Session Time Limit 60 minutes
Reality Check Interval Every 30 min

Illustrative example only. Actual limit options and PKR values vary by operator and account status.

How to Activate Each Tool

Log in to your hh95 Account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Limits. Select "Deposit Limits" or "Loss Limits", choose your preferred period (daily, weekly or monthly), and enter the amount in PKR that you want to set as your cap. Confirm the change — reductions apply immediately, while increases may require a mandatory waiting period for your protection.

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Session Controls. You can set a maximum session length, after which you will be automatically prompted to stop. You can also enable reality checks and choose the interval — 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Both settings activate immediately and apply to all device sessions.

Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Take a Break. Select your desired cooling-off period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Confirm your selection. Your account will be suspended immediately for the chosen duration. You cannot shorten a cooling-off period once it is active; this is intentional.

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Self-Exclusion and choose your exclusion period — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years or permanent. Confirm your request. Your account will be blocked immediately. All marketing communications will cease. You may also request self-exclusion via hh95 support at [email protected]. If you are in serious crisis, contact our support team directly for the fastest response.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not always look the same from the outside — or feel the same from the inside. The following warning signs are widely recognised indicators that gambling may have moved from entertainment to a problem. If you recognise several of these in yourself or someone you know, it is time to act.

  • Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose — funds earmarked for rent, groceries, bills or family obligations
  • Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets in an attempt to recover previous losses
  • Lying to family members, friends or employers about the amount of time or money spent gambling
  • Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when not gambling, or when attempting to cut down
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions or taking loans to fund gambling
  • Gambling interfering with work, study or important family responsibilities
  • Spending increasing amounts of time thinking about gambling — reliving past wins or planning future sessions
  • Failed attempts to stop or cut back, despite wanting to

Quick Self-Assessment

The questions below are adapted from widely used responsible-gambling screening tools. They are for personal reflection only and are not a clinical diagnostic. If your honest answers to several of these are "Yes", please consider reaching out for support.

1. Have you ever bet more than you could really afford to lose?

Never Sometimes Often

2. Have you needed to gamble with more money to get the same level of excitement?

Never Sometimes Often

3. Have you gone back to win back money you had lost?

Never Sometimes Often

4. Have you ever hidden your gambling from people who are important to you?

Never Sometimes Often

5. Have you ever felt that gambling has caused a problem in your life?

Never Sometimes Often
How to interpret this: This is a personal reflection tool only — not a diagnostic. If you answered "Sometimes" or "Often" to two or more questions, we strongly encourage you to consider using our self-exclusion or cooling-off tools, or to speak with a qualified support professional.

Tips for Keeping Gambling Fun

Responsible gambling starts with the right mindset. These practical tips are things that experienced, disciplined players genuinely practise — they are not abstract rules, but real habits that keep gambling in its rightful place as entertainment.

  • Decide your budget before you start — not during the session. Whether it's PKR 500 or PKR 5,000, commit to it before you log in.
  • Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as expected income. Gambling should never be relied upon as a financial strategy.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen, get a glass of water, and check in with yourself.
  • Avoid gambling when you are tired, stressed, upset or under the influence of substances. Impaired judgement is when most costly decisions happen.
  • Keep gambling separate from other aspects of your life. Do not use your phone to bet while at work, during family time, or in social situations where it pulls your attention away.
  • Know your games. Understanding how a game works — its RTP (Return to Player), house edge, and variance — helps set realistic expectations.
  • Never borrow money to gamble. Not from friends, family, or any form of credit.
  • Keep track of your gambling activity over time. A simple note of monthly deposits and withdrawals can reveal patterns that feel invisible in the moment.

For Family & Friends

Problem gambling affects more than just the individual. If someone close to you — a family member in Islamabad, a friend in Faisalabad, a partner or sibling anywhere in Pakistan — appears to be struggling with their gambling habits, you may be in a position to help.

You might notice warning signs such as unexplained financial shortfalls, secretive behaviour around devices, mood swings linked to gambling outcomes, or withdrawal from family and social obligations. These patterns are worth taking seriously.

Approaching someone about a gambling problem is not easy. Some practical guidance:

  • Choose a calm, private moment — not immediately after a financial argument or an incident.
  • Use "I" language rather than accusatory "you" statements: "I've noticed you seem stressed" rather than "You are wasting all our money."
  • Listen more than you talk. Understanding the underlying reasons behind the gambling is often more useful than issuing ultimatums.
  • Offer to help them access support — accompanying them to a counsellor or helping them navigate the responsible-gambling tools on their account.
  • Protect yourself too. Organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous have support programmes specifically for family members and significant others.
Remember: You cannot force someone to stop gambling. Your role is to offer support and information, not to carry the entire burden of their recovery. Seek help for yourself too if the situation is affecting your own wellbeing.
