Gambling is entertainment — and pkd365 is committed to keeping it that way. This page sets out our complete responsible gambling framework: the tools available to you, how to recognise problem gambling, and how to get help. Please take time to read this page carefully.
Every tool below is available to you directly from your account dashboard — no need to call support. Limits and restrictions take effect immediately upon activation.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your account on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing one is subject to a 7-day cooling-off period to protect against impulsive decisions.
Cap how much you can lose over a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. When your net loss for that period reaches the set threshold, further wagering is prevented until the limit period expires. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping gambling within your personal budget.
Set a maximum amount per individual bet or game round. This prevents high-stakes single wagers that can deplete a balance rapidly, particularly during live betting on Pakistan cricket, PSL matches or other high-intensity sporting events where in-play betting moves quickly.
Set a maximum session length — after which you are automatically logged out of your account. You can also enable a reality-check pop-up notification that appears at set intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes) during your session to remind you of how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
Take a short break from pkd365 without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods range from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period your account remains registered but you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. No marketing communications will be sent during this time.
Self-exclusion is a formal commitment to stop gambling on pkd365 for a defined or indefinite period. Options range from 30 days to permanent exclusion. Once activated, self-exclusion is irrevocable for the elected period — we will not accept requests to reverse it early. Your account is fully blocked and no promotional communications will be sent.
Activating responsible gambling tools on pkd365 takes less than two minutes. Here is how to access them from your account:
Use your registered credentials to access your account. Ensure you are on the genuine pkd365 platform — always verify the URL in your browser before logging in.
Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Within Account Settings, find and click the "Responsible Gambling" tab. All available tools — limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion — are accessible from this single section.
Choose the tool you want to activate, enter your preferred limit amount or time period, and confirm your choice. Restrictions take effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address.
If you encounter any difficulty activating tools, or if you want to request self-exclusion verbally, contact our 24/7 support team at [email protected]. Support is available in English and Urdu on request.
Self-exclusion is the strongest player-protection tool available on pkd365. Choose the tier that fits your situation — you can always contact support to move to a more restrictive tier during your exclusion period, but you cannot shorten or reverse an active exclusion early.
| Tier | Duration | What Happens | Reversible? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling-Off | 24h – 6 weeks | Account locked; no login, no deposits, no marketing | No (during period) |
| Short Exclusion | 30 – 90 days | Full account block; no promotional contact; balance held securely | No |
| Long Exclusion | 6 months – 5 years | Full block; account cannot be reactivated before period expires | No |
| Permanent | Indefinite | Permanent account closure; account cannot be reopened under any circumstances | Never |
Gambling can become harmful without you realising it. Here are common warning signs that gambling may be moving from entertainment into something more serious.
Betting more than planned to recover money already lost — a pattern that typically leads to bigger losses rather than recovery.
Finding it difficult or impossible to stop gambling even when you want to, or continuing to play well past the point you intended.
Using gambling as a way to escape anxiety, depression, financial pressure or relationship problems — rather than as entertainment.
Concealing the amount of time or money you spend on gambling from family members or those close to you.
Using credit, loans or borrowed money to fund gambling activity, or struggling to meet household expenses because of gambling spend.
Gambling taking priority over work, studies, family time or daily obligations — particularly around major cricket events like PSL finals or ICC tournaments.
Feeling the need to wager increasingly large amounts to experience the same level of excitement — a sign of developing tolerance.
Your emotional state becoming strongly tied to gambling outcomes — feeling elated after a win and seriously distressed after a loss.
Honestly consider each of the questions below. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to use one of pkd365's responsible gambling tools or seek independent support.
pkd365's own support team is always available, but independent support organisations can provide confidential, specialist guidance without any platform affiliation.
In Pakistan, mental health and addiction support services are available through public hospitals, psychiatry departments at major teaching hospitals in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar, and through private counselling practices. If gambling is affecting your mental health, please consult a qualified medical professional.
Pakistan's Umang helpline (0317-4288665) provides free mental health support and counselling. While primarily focused on mental health broadly, trained counsellors can support individuals experiencing distress related to addictive behaviour, including problem gambling. Calls are confidential.
Gamblers Anonymous (GA) operates internationally and has an active online community. Their 12-step programme and peer support network are accessible globally. The BeGambleAware programme (operated under the operator's license jurisdiction) also provides structured self-help resources and referral to specialist counsellors.
pkd365 enforces a strict 18+ minimum age policy — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator/license jurisdiction. Being aged 18 or over does not, by itself, make gambling lawful in Pakistan or any other jurisdiction. Local laws take precedence.
We employ mandatory identity verification (KYC) to detect and prevent underage access. All new accounts must complete KYC verification before withdrawal eligibility is granted, and we may request verification at any point during the account lifecycle. Any account found to have been registered by a minor will be immediately closed, and all funds will be returned where possible.
If you share a device or household with young people — particularly in family homes across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or elsewhere — we recommend taking the following precautions:
Any person under the minimum applicable age from registering an account, accessing gambling services, or placing bets on pkd365. There are no exceptions. Age verification is mandatory, not optional.
KYC document verification is required for all accounts before withdrawal processing. We cross-check submitted documents against account registration data. Suspected underage accounts are suspended immediately pending investigation.
If you suspect that a minor is using a pkd365 account — including your own if it has been accessed without your permission — please report this to [email protected] immediately. We take all such reports seriously and will investigate promptly.
pkd365 approaches responsible gambling as a core operational obligation — not a box to tick. We understand that Pakistan has a young, mobile-first user base that engages heavily with sports events like PSL T20 nights, ICC World Cup matches and live football. The excitement of these events can make it easy to lose track of spending, which is why our player-protection tools are built to be simple, immediate and genuinely effective.
We train our customer support staff to identify signs of problem gambling in user communications and to proactively offer responsible gambling resources where concerns are apparent. Our platform does not send marketing communications designed to encourage users who have set spending limits to exceed them. Users who have activated cooling-off periods or self-exclusion are removed from all promotional mailing lists immediately.
We acknowledge Pakistan's legal framework around gambling. The Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 and associated provincial legislation restrict gambling activities. pkd365 does not represent that use of this platform is lawful in Pakistan or claim authorisation from any Pakistani government body, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan, or any payment provider including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah. Payment provider names are referenced as familiar local context only.
If you are in any doubt about your relationship with gambling, please use our self-exclusion tools, contact our support team, or seek assistance from an independent counselling service. Gambling should always remain an entertainment choice — never a compulsion.
