Player Wellbeing

Responsible Gambling at Winnr

Gambling is entertainment — it should stay that way. Winnr provides every registered player with a full suite of responsible gambling tools: deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. We take player wellbeing seriously, and we want you to stay in control at all times.

18+ Only Self-Exclusion Available Deposit Limits Session Time Controls 24/7 Support

Your Responsible Gambling Toolkit

Every Winnr account comes with these tools enabled and accessible from day one. No waiting period, no judgment — just straightforward controls that put you in the driver's seat.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your Winnr account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit instantly; increases take effect after a cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions during a session.

Loss Limits

A loss limit caps the maximum amount you can lose over a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. When you hit your limit, the account automatically restricts further wagering for that period. This tool is especially useful if you find it difficult to stop after a run of losses during a Pakistan cricket session or a PSL match.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, you'll receive a clear on-screen reminder. You can choose to stop or extend — but the reminder ensures you're making a conscious choice rather than playing on without realising how long you've been logged in.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable timed pop-up reminders that appear at intervals you choose — every 30 minutes, every hour, or custom intervals. Each reminder shows how long you've been playing and your net result for the session, giving you a clear-eyed view of your activity.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for a defined timeframe — 24 hours, 48 hours, one week or longer. During this period, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. The account reactivates automatically when the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion closes your Winnr account for a minimum period of six months, one year, three years, five years or permanently. During self-exclusion you cannot register a new account. This is the strongest tool available and is irreversible for the chosen period. Contact support to activate immediately if needed.

Setting & Managing Your Limits

All responsible gambling tools are accessible directly from your Account Settings panel — no need to contact support to set or lower a limit. Activating a limit or cooling-off period takes effect immediately.

Lowering a limit takes effect immediately so you can act on responsible decisions right away. Increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive changes during a losing streak.
Important: If you have a current bonus active, some limits may affect your ability to meet bonus wagering requirements. Read the bonus terms carefully before setting aggressive limits, or contact support for guidance.
Log in to Your Account

Access the Responsible Gambling section in your Account Settings. All available tools are listed there with simple toggle or slider controls.

Choose the Tool and Period

Select deposit limit, loss limit, session time, reality check interval, cooling-off or self-exclusion. Choose the period — daily, weekly, monthly or longer — depending on the tool.

Set the Amount or Duration

Enter your chosen figure in PKR (for deposit and loss limits) or in hours/days (for session and cooling-off tools). The Platform will show your current usage clearly against the limit you've set.

Confirm — Takes Effect Immediately

Confirm your choice. New limits and cooling-off periods activate instantly. You'll receive a confirmation email to your registered address for your records.

Need Help? Contact Support

If you can't access Account Settings or need a limit or self-exclusion activated urgently, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat or at [email protected]. We'll act immediately.

Self-Exclusion

Choosing to Step Away

Self-exclusion is available to any Winnr player who feels their gambling has become uncontrolled or harmful. It is the strongest tool we offer, and we encourage you to use it without hesitation if you feel you need it. There is absolutely no shame in putting your wellbeing first.

Once self-exclusion is active, your account is closed immediately. You will not be able to log in, place bets, deposit or claim any promotional offer. Any Cashable Balance remaining in your account will be returned to you via your registered payment method, subject to identity verification requirements.

Self-exclusion is irreversible for the period you choose. We cannot reactivate an account early, regardless of the reason. Please choose your period carefully. Minimum exclusion period: six months.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion

1

Via Account Settings: Navigate to the Responsible Gambling section and select Self-Exclusion. Choose your exclusion period and confirm. The exclusion activates instantly.

2

Via Live Chat: Tell our support agent you want to self-exclude. Provide your registered email address. The agent will process your exclusion immediately while you wait.

3

Via Email: Send a request to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered email and chosen exclusion period. We will confirm activation within the hour.

4

After Exclusion: We strongly recommend also blocking gambling websites on your devices using parental control tools or browser extensions for additional protection during your exclusion period.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being aware of the warning signs helps you — or someone you care about — take action before things escalate.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you planned or can afford, including using PKR meant for bills, rent or family expenses.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money that was lost in a previous session.
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression or difficult personal situations rather than for entertainment.
  • Hiding gambling activity from family members, friends or a partner in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or elsewhere.
  • Feeling irritable, restless or anxious when you are not gambling or when you try to stop.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions or taking on debt to fund gambling activity.
  • Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities or social relationships because of time or money spent on gambling.
  • Repeatedly failing when you try to cut back or stop gambling on your own.

A Quick Self-Assessment

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to use our responsible gambling tools or seek independent support.

1
Do you spend more time or money on gambling than you originally intended when you logged in?
2
Have you ever kept your gambling activity secret from people close to you?
3
Do you feel a strong urge to keep playing after a big win, even when you planned to stop?
4
Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund gambling?
5
Does gambling feel more like a financial strategy than entertainment to you?
6
Do you find it difficult to concentrate on other things — work, family, daily routines — because you're thinking about gambling?
7
Have you previously tried and failed to cut back on gambling on your own?
If any of these questions gave you pause, please use our tools or reach out to our support team. You can also speak to a qualified counsellor in your region for independent, confidential guidance.

Adults Only — 18+ or Higher

Winnr is strictly for adults aged 18 years or older — or the higher minimum age required by the operator's licence jurisdiction. We carry out age verification on all accounts and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If an account is found to be held by a minor, it will be closed immediately and winnings forfeited.

Pakistan has legal restrictions on gambling under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. Winnr does not claim to hold a licence from any Pakistani government authority, and does not provide legal advice. Every player is solely responsible for understanding the laws that apply in their own jurisdiction before using the Platform.

If you are unsure about the legal status of online gambling in your province or city — whether in Sindh, Punjab, KPK, Balochistan or elsewhere — please consult a qualified legal professional before registering or depositing.

Play Responsibly — Winnr Has Your Back

Our responsible gambling tools are always available, always free and always working for you. Set your limits before you play, stick to them, and enjoy the game for what it is — entertainment. If you ever need to take a step back, our support team and self-exclusion tools are ready immediately.

Adults 18+ only — or the higher minimum required by the operator/license jurisdiction. Local laws may restrict gambling. Gambling involves financial risk.
