Play Safe, Play Smart

Responsible Gaming at Star Game

Gaming is meant to be fun. At Star Game, we want every Pakistan player to enjoy slots, PSL cricket betting, and casino games without it affecting their wellbeing, relationships, or finances. This page covers the tools, tips, and self-assessment resources available to help you stay in control.

18+ Only Set Time Limits Budget Controls Self-Exclusion Available
Gaming is entertainment — not a way to earn income Never chase losses — take a break instead Set a budget — only play what you can afford to lose Adults only — must be 18 or above

Controls Built Into Your Account

Every Star Game account comes with a full set of responsible gaming controls. No paperwork needed — manage them directly from your account settings or by contacting our support team.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in PKR. Once you reach your limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when reduced — an increase requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before it kicks in.

Session Time Reminders

Set a session timer and Star Game will notify you once your chosen play time is up. Whether you're spinning slots or watching PSL live odds, this reminder helps you step away and come back refreshed rather than playing on autopilot.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Set a cooling-off period of anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this time your account is suspended — no deposits, no bets, no bonus claims. It's a quick way to pause without permanently closing your account.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a more serious break, self-exclusion locks your account for a minimum of 6 months. During this period your account cannot be accessed, deposits are blocked, and all marketing messages are stopped. Request it via live chat — it's processed within 24 hours.

Loss Limits

Set a cap on how much you are willing to lose in a given day, week, or month. Once your net loss reaches the limit, further wagering is paused until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming budget manageable and predictable.

Support Anytime

Our support team is available 24/7 via live chat. If you're worried about your gaming habits — or about someone else's — reach out. All conversations are confidential. Our team is trained to listen without judgement and to help you find the right tool for your situation.

How to Set Up Your Safe Play Controls

It takes less than two minutes to put limits in place. Here's how to do it from your Star Game account.

1
Log In to Your Account

Open the Star Game app or website and log in. Go to your profile icon at the top right of the screen to access account settings.

2
Find Responsible Gaming

Inside account settings, look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Safety" section. All limits, timers, and exclusion tools are grouped here in one place.

3
Choose Your Limit Type

Select the tool you want — deposit limit, loss limit, session reminder, or cooling-off period. Enter your preferred value and the time period it applies to.

4
Confirm and Save

Confirm your selection. Reductions apply immediately. For increases, a mandatory 24-hour waiting period applies to protect you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Can't find it? If you cannot locate the Responsible Gaming section in your account, or you'd prefer to set limits through a person rather than a settings menu, simply open our live chat and tell the agent what you need. They will set it up for you on the spot.

Is Your Gaming Still in Control?

Honestly answering a few simple questions can tell you a lot about your relationship with gaming. This isn't a clinical diagnosis — it's just a prompt to reflect. If several of these feel familiar, it may be worth using one of the tools on this page or speaking with someone you trust.

Do you sometimes spend more on gaming than you planned to?

Occasional slips are normal — but if this happens regularly, a deposit limit can help.

Do you bet more to try to win back money you've lost?

Chasing losses is one of the most common warning signs of problematic gambling.

Has gaming started to affect your sleep, work, or relationships?

If other areas of your life are being impacted, it's a strong signal to take a break.

Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to stop or cut down?

This can indicate a dependency pattern that a cooling-off period or self-exclusion could help with.

Have you borrowed money or sold anything to fund your gaming?

Financial pressure caused by gaming is a serious sign — please reach out to our support team.

Do you hide how much time or money you spend on gaming from family?

Secrecy is often a signal that you already know something needs to change.
If you answered yes to two or more of these, we encourage you to set a deposit limit or cooling-off period right now. There's no shame in it — it's the smart move.

Recognise the Red Flags

Problem gambling doesn't always look dramatic. Often it builds gradually. These are the signs that suggest gaming has shifted from entertainment to something that needs attention.

Spending beyond your means. Regularly depositing more than you've budgeted, using bill money, or borrowing to fund gaming sessions.
Chasing losses obsessively. Feeling compelled to keep playing after a losing session with the belief that a big win is just around the corner.
Losing track of time. Sessions that were meant to last 30 minutes regularly stretch into several hours without you noticing.
Withdrawing from family and friends. Preferring to spend time gaming rather than with people you care about, or lying about where your time and money goes.
Mood depends on gaming outcomes. Feeling high after wins and deeply low after losses — with your emotional state tied to your balance rather than to life outside the platform.
Impact on work or studies. Missing deadlines, arriving late, or performing poorly because your mind is on gaming or because you stayed up late playing.

Tips for Healthy Gaming

These simple habits make a real difference. Players who follow them consistently report enjoying gaming more — not less — because they stay in charge of the experience.

Set your budget before you start. Decide how much PKR you're comfortable spending before you open the app. Think of it the same way you'd budget for a cinema trip or a night out — it's entertainment money, not investment capital.
Use a deposit limit from day one. Don't wait until you've overspent to set a limit. Setting one early keeps you in control automatically without relying on willpower in the moment.
Take regular breaks during sessions. Stand up, get a glass of water, and do something else for a few minutes. It's easy to lose perspective when you're focused on a screen — a short break resets your mindset.
Never play when you're stressed or emotional. Gambling when you're upset, anxious, or looking for a distraction from a bad day is a high-risk situation. Wait until you're in a calm, clear frame of mind.
Don't chase your losses. If you've hit your loss limit for the day, log out. The slots and cricket markets will still be there tomorrow. Chasing losses almost always leads to spending more, not recovering what you lost.
Keep gaming separate from alcohol or late nights. Your decision-making is affected by tiredness and substances. Late-night sessions after a long day are when most players report making bets they later regret.
Talk to someone if things feel off. Whether it's a friend, family member, or our support team — speaking out loud about your concerns is often the first step to getting things back on track. There is absolutely no stigma in asking for help.
Celebrate wins in perspective. A good win is great — enjoy it. But don't let it change your expectations for every future session. Outcomes in casino games and sports betting are unpredictable by nature, and a winning streak is not a guarantee of anything.
Keep other hobbies alive. Gaming is healthiest when it's one of several things you enjoy — not the main event. Cricket, football, social time with friends, and other activities balance your life and keep gaming in its proper place.

How Star Game Monitors Player Safety

We don't just provide tools — we actively monitor usage patterns to identify players who may need support. Here's what our responsible gaming programme focuses on:

Behavioural MonitoringAlways active
Deposit Pattern AnalysisDaily review

Proactive outreach: If our system flags unusual deposit behaviour or extended unbroken sessions, a member of our team may proactively reach out to check in. You can opt out of these check-ins, but we believe they make a genuine difference.

Protecting Younger Family Members

Star Game is strictly an 18+ platform. We verify the age of players during the registration and KYC process, and any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately with all funds returned.

If you share a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop with younger siblings or children in your household, please take simple precautions to prevent them from accessing the platform:

Password-Protect Your App

Use your device's app lock or screen lock feature to prevent access to the Star Game app when you're not using it.

Log Out After Each Session

Always log out when you're done playing — especially on shared devices. Don't rely on auto-fill passwords that others could access.

Use Parental Controls

Android devices have built-in parental control features under Digital Wellbeing settings. Use these to restrict access on family devices.

Report Underage Access

If you believe a minor has accessed or created a Star Game account, contact our support team immediately. We'll investigate and act within 24 hours.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often from Pakistan players about safe gaming tools and self-management.

Reductions to deposit limits and activation of cooling-off periods are immediate and cannot be reversed during the active period. This is intentional — it protects you from changing your mind impulsively. If you request an increase to a deposit limit, a mandatory 24-hour waiting period applies before the new limit takes effect. Self-exclusion periods cannot be reversed until the minimum exclusion term has expired.

Any withdrawable balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion can be requested via our support team. We will process the withdrawal to your registered JazzCash, Easypaisa, or bank account. Active bonuses that have not yet been wagered are forfeited at the time of self-exclusion in line with our Terms and Conditions. Your account access will be fully blocked during the exclusion period.

No. As soon as a cooling-off period or self-exclusion is activated, all marketing communications — including bonus SMS, promotional emails, and PSL betting market alerts — are stopped immediately. You will still receive essential account communications such as withdrawal confirmations. If you receive a marketing message after requesting a cooling-off period, contact our support team right away and we will investigate.

Log into your Star Game account, tap your profile icon, and navigate to Account Settings, then Responsible Gaming. From there, select Deposit Limits, choose whether you want a daily, weekly, or monthly cap, enter your PKR amount, and confirm. The limit is active immediately. If you prefer, you can also ask our live chat team to set it up for you — they can do it in under a minute.

Yes. Any conversation you have with our support team regarding responsible gaming concerns is treated with full confidentiality. Support staff who handle these conversations are specifically trained to respond without judgement. Your conversations are not shared with anyone outside of the support team unless required by law. We understand that asking for help takes courage, and we want you to feel completely comfortable doing so.

The deposit limit applies to your overall Star Game account wallet, which covers both sports betting — including PSL and T20 cricket markets — and casino games like slots and live casino. At present, separate per-category limits are not supported, but the overall deposit cap is effective regardless of which part of the platform you use. If you need a more tailored arrangement, speak to our support team directly.
