3paati is committed to providing tools, information and guidance that help every player on our platform make informed, considered decisions. Responsible gambling is not an optional add-on — it is a foundational principle of how we operate.
Adults only — strictly 18 years of age or older (or the higher minimum required by the operator/license jurisdiction). Underage gambling is prohibited. 3paati actively enforces age verification at registration and at key account milestones. Pakistan has gambling restrictions including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 — users must understand applicable local law before participating. This is not legal advice.
Free tools available to every registered 3paati user — activate instantly, no restrictions on use
Set a maximum deposit amount in PKR on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased without a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off review period — but you can reduce it at any time with immediate effect. This puts you firmly in control of how much enters your account.
Cap the total amount you are willing to lose across a set period. Loss limits are calculated on net losses (total wagered minus total returned) and trigger an automatic account pause when reached. Useful for players who prefer to think in terms of exposure rather than deposit volume.
Define how long each play session can last. When your session time is reached, the platform displays a full-screen reminder and offers you the option to continue consciously or exit. You can also set on-screen reality-check intervals — a pop-up every 30, 60 or 90 minutes showing your session duration and net result.
If you feel you need a break from gambling, activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or 6 weeks. Your account will be suspended for the full duration with no possibility of early reactivation. No emails, no push notifications — just a clean, enforced pause.
Self-exclusion permanently closes your 3paati account. Once applied, it cannot be reversed for a minimum exclusion period. Your account data is flagged so that any future registration attempts from the same identity are blocked. This is available instantly via account settings or through the support team.
Reality-check notifications give you an honest snapshot of your play at user-defined intervals. The pop-up shows total time in session, total amount wagered, and net result (profit or loss). It then asks whether you want to continue — a simple but powerful prompt to stay aware of your activity.
Betting on Pakistan cricket, PSL matches, T20 internationals or live casino tables can be genuinely enjoyable — a way to add a layer of engagement to events you already follow. But gambling carries real financial risk, and for some people, it can develop into a pattern of behaviour that causes harm to themselves and those around them.
At 3paati, we believe that the most important thing we can do for our players is to be honest with them. That means publishing our odds transparently, stating our terms clearly, and providing tools that help users maintain control. We do not want players to chase losses, bet under emotional stress, or gamble for longer than they intended.
Our responsible gambling tools are designed around a simple principle: the player should always feel in control of their experience. If that control is ever in question — even slightly — the tools on this page are available immediately, for free, with no questions asked and no waiting period for applying restrictions.
Controls how much real money enters your account in a given period. Set in PKR. The most common starting point for players who want to budget their gambling.
Caps your net losses over a rolling daily, weekly or monthly period. When the limit is hit, your account is automatically paused for that period — regardless of your remaining deposit balance.
Sets a maximum total stake amount per period. Useful for high-frequency bettors who want to cap their activity volume rather than tracking individual bet sizes.
Ends your active session at a defined time threshold. Particularly useful for late-night play sessions when fatigue can affect decision-making.
For when you need more than a limit — a full account pause or permanent closure. Activates instantly, no fee, no reversal until the minimum period expires.
Problem gambling is not about how much you bet — it is about the relationship you have with gambling and the impact it has on your life. These warning signs can indicate that gambling has moved from entertainment into something more concerning.
If any of the signs below feel familiar — whether for yourself or someone you care about — please consider using one of the responsible gambling tools on this page, or speaking to a qualified counsellor in your area. There is no shame in recognising a problem and taking action early.
Betting with money reserved for household essentials — rent, groceries, utility bills, children's education — rather than discretionary funds.
Chasing losses: placing increasingly large bets in an attempt to recover money lost in previous sessions, rather than accepting the loss and stopping.
Inability to stop despite setting a clear personal intention to do so — continuing to place wagers after reaching a self-imposed loss or time limit.
Borrowing money — from family, friends, financial apps or other sources — specifically to fund gambling activity.
Concealing gambling activity from family members, a partner or employer, including hiding transaction records, account statements or time spent on the platform.
Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression or difficult personal circumstances — using it as an emotional coping mechanism rather than a recreational activity.
Neglecting work, family responsibilities or personal health in order to gamble — cancelling commitments to extend a betting session.
Honest self-reflection is one of the most effective early-warning tools available. The questions below are adapted from widely used responsible gambling screening frameworks. They are not a clinical diagnostic tool — for that, please seek a qualified professional in your area.
If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, consider speaking to someone you trust, using the self-exclusion tool, or contacting a counselling service.
Answer honestly — these are for your awareness only, not submitted anywhere.
Have you ever spent more money or time gambling than you originally planned to?
Have you tried to cut down on your gambling activity but found it difficult or impossible?
Do you feel restless, irritable or anxious when you are not able to gamble?
Have you gambled to escape from stress, personal problems or low mood?
Have you returned to gambling after losing money in an attempt to "win it back"?
Have you hidden gambling activity from family members, friends or your employer?
Has gambling affected your work, studies, relationships or financial stability?
Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available for anyone who feels they need to stop gambling on 3paati. The process is straightforward, immediate and permanent for the minimum exclusion period. There are no fees, no waiting lists and no judgment.
Access your 3paati account via the homepage. Ensure you are logged in to the account you want to exclude — self-exclusion applies to the specific account identity you register with.
Go to Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gambling" section. All limit tools and exclusion options are grouped here for easy access.
Choose "Self-Exclusion" and confirm your selection. You will be asked to confirm your decision once. The exclusion takes effect immediately upon confirmation.
You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address. Your account is closed immediately. Any remaining real-money balance (subject to completed KYC) will be returned to your registered payment method.
If you prefer to request self-exclusion directly via our support team rather than through account settings, email us at [email protected] with "Self-Exclusion Request" in the subject line. We will process it without delay.
If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, speaking to a trained professional is one of the most effective steps you can take. The following categories of support are available in Pakistan and internationally. We list these as general resource types — 3paati does not provide clinical counselling services.
Qualified mental health professionals and counsellors practising in major Pakistani cities — including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and Multan — can provide confidential support for gambling-related concerns. Ask your GP or primary healthcare provider for a referral, or search for registered practitioners through the Pakistan Association of Mental Health or similar professional bodies in your province.
Pakistan's federal and provincial health departments operate mental wellness helplines. Contact the Sehat Sahulat helpline or your provincial health authority for referrals to appropriate support services in your area.
Sharing concerns with a trusted family member, imam, or community leader can be an important first step. Many community members in Pakistan have experience supporting families through financial and mental wellness challenges.
Internationally recognised responsible gambling organisations — including those operating under the frameworks of licensed gambling jurisdictions relevant to this platform's licensing — provide online self-help tools, chat-based support and referral directories. These are available in English and may be accessible from Pakistan. Consult the Operator's licensing documentation for the specific responsible gambling body associated with this platform's license.
3paati is strictly an adults-only platform. No person under the age of 18 — or the higher minimum required by the applicable operator/license jurisdiction — may register, deposit or place any wager on the platform. This is non-negotiable and is actively enforced through:
If you share a device with young people at home — whether in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or anywhere else in Pakistan — we strongly recommend using your device's parental control settings to restrict access to gambling websites. Most modern smartphones and computers offer built-in parental controls. Your internet service provider may also offer family-safe filtering options.
If you believe that a minor has accessed the 3paati platform using your account or device, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and change your account password without delay.
