3pti | Responsible Gaming

01 What Is Responsible Gaming

At 3pti, we want every user to enjoy the platform for what it is — entertainment. Whether you are placing a bet on a T20 match, following Pakistan Super League action, or joining a Live Casino table, the experience should stay fun and well within your control.

Responsible gaming means making informed decisions about how much you spend, how long you play, and when to step away. It is not about telling you what to do — it is about giving you the right information and tools so that you can make choices that work for your own situation.

This page covers practical steps, account features, and self-check guidance to help you keep gaming as a leisure activity rather than something that causes stress or financial strain. We strongly encourage all our users — especially newer players — to read through this once before diving into betting or casino games.

02 Warning Signs to Watch

Problem gambling rarely feels obvious from the inside. It tends to build gradually, and many people do not realise there is an issue until it has already affected their finances or relationships. Here are some patterns worth paying attention to:

• Spending more money than you planned or can comfortably afford to lose
• Chasing losses — placing more bets to try to recover what you have already lost
• Feeling irritable or restless when you are not able to play
• Hiding your betting activity from family or close friends
• Using money set aside for bills, food, or other necessities to fund your gaming
• Playing to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems rather than for enjoyment
• Spending significantly more time betting than you originally intended
• Borrowing money from others — or selling belongings — to fund your bets

If any of these feel familiar, it does not mean things are out of control — but it is a signal to slow down, reassess your habits, and consider using the tools and resources outlined below.

03 Setting a Budget

The single most effective habit you can build is setting a clear budget before you start playing — and sticking to it regardless of how a session is going. Here is a straightforward approach:

• 1
  Decide on a monthly or weekly betting amount Choose a PKR amount you can genuinely afford to lose without it affecting your essentials — rent, groceries, utilities, or family obligations.
• 2
  Split it into smaller session limits Dividing your total budget across multiple sessions stops you from using everything up in one sitting and gives you more to look forward to throughout the week or month.
• 3
  Stop when the session limit is reached Once you hit your session limit — whether you are up, down, or breaking even — close the app and step away. Decisions made past this point are rarely good ones.
• 4
  Never chase losses A losing session does not mean the next bet will win. Chasing is one of the fastest ways to turn a manageable loss into a significant one. Accept the result and return another time.
• 5
  Review your spending monthly Check your transaction history in your 3pti account at the end of each month. If the numbers feel uncomfortable, that is a clear sign to adjust your limits going forward.

04 Managing Your Time

Time passes quickly when you are engaged in Live Casino or following a PSL match. Without a plan, what was meant to be a thirty-minute session can easily stretch to several hours. A few simple habits can help:

• Set a timer before you start. Decide in advance how long you will play and set an alarm on your phone. When it goes off, that is the end of the session.
• Avoid playing when you are tired, stressed, or under the influence. These conditions affect judgement and make it harder to make sound decisions about bets or spending.
• Balance betting with other activities. Cricket betting and casino games are one form of entertainment among many. Make sure they are not crowding out other things you enjoy or responsibilities you need to attend to.
• Take regular breaks. Even during a single session, stepping away for a few minutes clears your head and helps you assess whether you actually want to continue or whether it is time to stop.

05 Account Tools

Your 3pti account includes several self-management features designed to support responsible gaming. You can access these at any time from your account settings:

• Deposit limits: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.
• Session time reminders: Enable notifications that alert you when you have been active for a set amount of time — useful for keeping track of how long you have been playing.
• Self-exclusion: If you feel you need a proper break from the platform, you can request a temporary or extended self-exclusion. During this period, your account will be restricted from placing bets or accessing casino games.
• Account history: Your full transaction and betting history is always available in your account dashboard. Use it to keep an honest picture of your activity and spending over time.
• Reality checks: Periodic on-screen prompts during gameplay that show how long you have been playing in the current session.

06 Self-Assessment

Honest self-reflection is one of the most valuable tools available to any player. Go through the questions below and answer them as honestly as you can. There are no right or wrong answers — this is purely for your own awareness.

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, we genuinely encourage you to consider using the self-exclusion or deposit limit tools in your account — or to speak with someone you trust about how you are feeling.

07 Protecting Minors

3pti is an adults-only platform. Registering or playing on the platform is strictly limited to users who are 18 years of age or older. We verify age as part of the registration and account verification process.

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend the following steps:

• Log out of your 3pti account after every session and never save your login credentials on shared devices.
• Use a strong, unique password that younger family members would not be able to guess.
• Enable device-level parental controls on phones, tablets, or computers that children have access to.
• Keep the 3pti app in a folder or location that is not easily accessible or visible to minors.

If you suspect that a minor has accessed your account or registered on the platform, contact our support team immediately so we can take prompt action.

08 Getting Help

If you feel that betting has become more than just entertainment — or if you are concerned about someone close to you — please do not hesitate to reach out. Acknowledging the issue is the first and most important step.

Our support team is available via Live Chat directly within the 3pti platform and can assist you in activating self-exclusion, adjusting your limits, or temporarily closing your account if you feel that is what you need.

You can also find further guidance and support resources through mental health and counselling services in Pakistan. Speaking to a family member, a trusted friend, or a counsellor can make a significant difference. You do not have to work through it alone.
