Gaming on shbwr — whether it's betting on a PSL match, spinning Slots or sitting at a Live Casino table — is meant to be enjoyable, social and within your personal budget. When it stops being fun, it becomes a problem. This page explains the tools and guidance available to help you stay in control at every step.
These are not just policies on paper. Each of these tools is built into the platform and available to every registered shbwr user at no cost.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly PKR deposit cap on your account. Once you reach the limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Increases to limits have a 24-hour cooling period; reductions take effect immediately.
Set a session time alert so you receive a notification after a defined period of play. This is a simple nudge to take a break, check the score of the match you came to watch and step away from the screen for a bit.
Cap the amount you are willing to lose in a set period. When your net loss reaches that threshold, your account will not accept further bets until the limit period resets. A sensible safeguard before sessions get away from you.
Not ready for full self-exclusion but feel like you need a break? Activate a cool-off period of 1, 7, 14 or 30 days. Your account will be suspended for that duration and you will not receive any promotional messages during the cooldown.
Request a longer self-exclusion of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or permanent closure. During exclusion, your account is fully blocked, all marketing is stopped and you cannot re-register. This decision is applied immediately and cannot be reversed early.
Your full transaction and gaming history is available in your account at any time. Reviewing your actual betting patterns — how much you deposited, how long you played, what you won or lost — is one of the most effective responsible gaming habits there is.
Responsible gaming is about keeping entertainment as entertainment. When you place a bet on a T20 match or spin a Slot, you are paying for the enjoyment of the activity — the same way you would pay for a cinema ticket or a cricket match seat. The difference is that online gaming involves real PKR, and that makes it important to have clear rules for yourself before you start.
At shbwr, we define responsible gaming around four practical principles that any player can actually follow:
These principles sound straightforward, but the reality is that the excitement of a live Cricket match or a Casino winning streak can make it easy to lose track. That is exactly why the tools in the previous section exist — they remove the need for willpower in the moment by setting the rules in advance.
Every responsible gaming tool on shbwr is available inside your account dashboard. Here is how to access and use each one:
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Select daily, weekly or monthly and enter your PKR limit. Reductions apply immediately. Increases require 24 hours to take effect.
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Reminders. Set your preferred alert time (15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hrs). A notification will appear on screen when time is up.
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits. Set a maximum net loss per day, week or month in PKR. Once reached, betting and Casino play will be paused until the period resets.
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Take a Break. Choose a cool-off duration or request a longer self-exclusion. All options take effect immediately and cannot be cancelled early.
Most people who develop problem gaming habits do not notice it happening gradually. The following signs — adapted for Pakistan players who regularly use sports betting and Casino platforms — are worth checking honestly against your own experience:
If two or more of these signs apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use the cool-off or self-exclusion tool now, talk to someone you trust and give yourself time away from the platform.
Answer these questions honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to more than two or three, it may be time to use one of the control tools or take a break from the platform entirely.
In the past month, have you spent more on gaming than you originally set out to spend, and felt like you could not stop once you started?
Have you deposited money after a loss with the main purpose of winning it back in the same session?
Has anyone close to you — a family member or friend — expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming?
Have you used money that was meant for essential expenses — rent, groceries, phone bills — to fund a gaming session?
Do you find it difficult to enjoy a Cricket match, PSL game or Football fixture without placing a bet on it, even a small one?
Have you tried to cut back on gaming before and found yourself back to the same habits within a short period?
Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming tool available on shbwr. It is designed for users who want or need a definitive, enforced break from the platform — not just a soft reminder.
Here is exactly what happens when you activate self-exclusion on your shbwr account:
Self-exclusion periods available: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent.
To activate, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion and follow the confirmation steps. The process takes less than two minutes and takes effect immediately upon confirmation.
Beyond the platform tools, the habits you build around your gaming sessions make a big difference. These are straightforward tips that Pakistan players find genuinely useful:
If you feel your gaming is becoming a problem, use the self-exclusion tool right now from your account settings. It takes effect immediately.
