Responsible Gambling
at lick91
Gambling is entertainment. It should stay that way. This page explains every tool, control and resource lick91 makes available to help you play safely — including deposit limits, loss controls, session timers and self-exclusion. If gambling is causing you or someone you know harm, help is available. Read on.
No Exceptions
Gambling Should
Never Cost You More
Than You Planned
Whether you're following a PSL match from Karachi, watching a live cricket T20 from Lahore, or spinning slots late at night in Islamabad — gambling should feel like entertainment, not a compulsion. The line between enjoyment and harm can shift gradually, which is why lick91 puts responsible gambling tools front and centre rather than buried in the settings menu.
Problem gambling is a recognised health concern that doesn't discriminate by city, income or background. It can affect a first-time player as readily as a long-term one. The signs are often subtle — chasing losses after a bad cricket result, increasing deposit amounts to recapture an earlier win, or feeling anxious when not gambling. These patterns deserve attention, not shame.
lick91's responsible gambling framework has one goal: to make sure every player who chooses to use this Platform retains full control over how they play, how much they spend and when they stop. No tool can guarantee safety, but informed players with the right controls at hand are in a far better position than those without.
Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 restricts gambling activities. lick91 does not claim to be licensed by any Pakistani authority. Users are responsible for ensuring their participation complies with local law. This page does not constitute legal or medical advice. If you believe you have a gambling problem, please seek professional support.
Gambling Is Not a Financial Strategy
No betting system, strategy or lucky streak guarantees consistent profit. The house edge applies across all game categories — slots, live casino, sports markets. If you are gambling to pay bills, recover debts or solve financial problems, please step back and speak to a financial counsellor instead. Gambling should only ever be funded from money you can afford to lose entirely, without impacting your household, family or personal finances.
PKR Reality Check: Before any session, set a firm budget in PKR that you are comfortable losing in full. Illustrative example: if your entertainment budget for the week is PKR 2,000, treat that as the total — not a starting point. Once it is gone, the session ends. Using lick91's deposit limit tool is the most reliable way to enforce this boundary automatically.
18+ Strictly Enforced
lick91 prohibits access by anyone under 18 years of age — or the higher minimum age required by the operator or applicable license jurisdiction. This is not a soft guideline. Age verification via CNIC or equivalent is conducted during KYC. Accounts belonging to minors are closed immediately and deposits returned.
Responsible Gambling Tools Available to Every Player
All of the following controls are built into every lick91 account and can be activated or adjusted via your account dashboard or by contacting support directly. They are not optional add-ons — they are core platform features.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount in PKR per day, per week or per month. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the relevant period resets. Limits take effect immediately when set. Increasing a limit requires a waiting period — decreasing one takes effect right away.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period — daily, weekly or monthly. When your net losses for that period reach the limit, your ability to place further bets is paused until the period resets. This tool is particularly effective for managing impulse sessions after a bad run.
Session Time Limits
Set the maximum duration of a single continuous gambling session. When the limit is reached, you receive a notification and your session is paused. You can also enable reality-check pop-ups at regular intervals — for example, every 30 or 60 minutes — to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
Cooling-Off Period
If you want a short break without committing to full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period lets you suspend your account for a defined period — typically 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. It is designed for players who feel they need a pause rather than a permanent exit.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a serious, binding commitment to stop gambling on the Platform for an extended period or permanently. Once activated, you cannot reverse it during the chosen exclusion window — no exceptions, no early reinstatement on impulse. This is not a pause; it is a firm barrier. Players can request self-exclusion directly via the support team.
Reality Check Reminders
Reality checks are periodic on-screen notifications that appear during gameplay. They display your current session duration, total bets placed and net win/loss for the session. The goal is to interrupt the flow state and give you a moment of genuine perspective before continuing. You choose the interval that works for you.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. It often develops as a gradual pattern of behaviour that becomes harder to recognise from the inside. The questions and signs below are not a clinical diagnostic tool, but they are a useful starting point for honest self-reflection. If several of these apply to you — or to someone you know — it is worth taking them seriously.
Personal Behaviour Signs
- Gambling more than you originally planned in a single session
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
- Thinking about gambling frequently when not playing
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety or low mood
- Lying to family members about gambling activity or losses
- Attempting to win back money you have lost — "chasing losses"
Financial Warning Signs
- Depositing amounts beyond your original budget to continue playing
- Borrowing money — from family, friends or a loan service — to fund gambling
- Delaying payments for bills, rent or essential expenses to deposit instead
- Selling personal items to generate gambling funds
- Maxing out your deposit limit and immediately trying to increase it
Ask Yourself Honestly
These are not diagnostic questions — they are a personal reflection guide. If you answer "Yes" to three or more, it may be worth taking a break or speaking to a support resource.
Have you ever felt the need to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same excitement?
Do you find yourself thinking about ways to get more money to gamble when you have run out?
Have you ever tried to stop or reduce gambling but found it genuinely difficult?
Has gambling caused friction with family or friends, or affected your work or studies?
Do you regularly gamble until you have spent all of your available balance — rather than stopping at a pre-set limit?
Note: These options are visual reflection prompts only. Nothing is submitted. If you answered "Yes" or "Sometimes" to multiple questions, we encourage you to use lick91's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools, or speak to a support resource. See the Support section below.
lick91's Responsible Gambling Commitment Is Not a Checkbox
Every tool on this page is functional and immediately accessible. These are not cosmetic features included to satisfy a disclaimer. They exist because lick91 believes that the player's ability to stay in control is more important than any short-term deposit volume.
How Deposit & Loss Limits Work in Practice
Understanding the mechanics of each limit type helps you choose the right combination for your situation. The table below summarises how each control type behaves once activated.
| Limit Type | Period Options | What It Restricts | Key Behaviour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Total PKR deposited into the account over the period | Immediately enforced when set. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a cooling period before they activate. |
| Loss Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Net losses (deposits minus withdrawals) over the period | When cumulative net loss reaches the limit, further betting is paused until the period resets. Does not restrict deposits directly. |
| Session Time Limit | Per-session (minutes) | Maximum continuous gambling session duration | Session ends or pauses when the timer expires. You set the duration — from 30 minutes to several hours. Applies per login session. |
| Reality Check | Per-interval (minutes) | No hard restriction — informational notification | Pop-up displays session duration, bets placed and net result at your chosen interval. You decide whether to continue or stop. |
| Cooling-Off | 24h / 7 days / 30 days | All platform access (login, deposit, betting) | Takes effect immediately. Cannot be reversed early. Account reopens automatically at the end of the selected period. |
| Self-Exclusion | 6 months / 1 year / Permanent | All platform access — permanently for the chosen term | Cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. Permanent exclusion is final. Requests via [email protected] — plain text address. |
How to Self-Exclude from lick91
Self-exclusion is the most serious responsible gambling tool available. It is designed for players who recognise that they need to stop gambling altogether for a significant period — not just a short break. Unlike a cooling-off period, self-exclusion carries binding restrictions that cannot be reversed mid-term.
Contact Support Directly
Send a self-exclusion request to the lick91 support team by emailing [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link) or using the live chat function within your logged-in account. State clearly that you are requesting self-exclusion and specify your preferred duration (6 months, 1 year or permanent).
Confirmation and Immediate Effect
Once your request is processed, your account will be suspended and your access to the Platform will be removed immediately. You will receive confirmation via the email address on your account. Any active bonuses will be void; your real-money balance status will be communicated alongside the confirmation.
The Exclusion Period Cannot Be Shortened
You will not be able to reinstate your account before the exclusion period ends — even if you feel ready to return. This is intentional. The restriction exists to give you a genuine recovery window, not a brief pause that can be undone on impulse after a difficult day.
After Exclusion Ends
When a fixed-term self-exclusion period ends, account reinstatement is not automatic. You must actively request to reopen access, and lick91 may require confirmation that you understand the risks before reinstatement proceeds. Permanent exclusions are final and cannot be reversed.
Keeping Minors Safe
lick91 takes underage access seriously. Age verification is mandatory — not optional — during the KYC process. Accounts found to belong to persons under 18, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable jurisdiction, are closed immediately with deposits returned.
If you share devices with minors at home — whether in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi or elsewhere — we strongly recommend taking the following precautions:
- Use a strong, unique password for your lick91 account that minors cannot guess
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) so that login requires a code sent to your personal device
- Log out of the Platform after every session — do not leave your account open on shared devices
- Consider parental control software that restricts access to gambling websites on household devices
- Never share your account credentials with any other person, regardless of age
- If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact support immediately
18+ Only — Legal and Ethical Requirement
Being aged 18 or over does not automatically make gambling lawful in all Pakistani jurisdictions. Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 restricts gambling activities. lick91 does not provide legal advice. Users are individually responsible for compliance with local law in their specific location.
Six Habits of Safer Gamblers
These are practical, real-world habits that help players stay in control — not abstract principles. Pick the ones that apply to you and make them part of how you play.
Set a Budget Before You Start
Decide in advance exactly how much PKR you are prepared to spend in total — not per game, not per match, but for the entire session. Write it down. Use lick91's deposit limit to enforce it technically so willpower alone is never the only safeguard.
Never Chase a Loss
Chasing losses is the most reliable path to problem gambling. When you have reached your budget for the session, the session is over — regardless of the scoreline, the match situation or how close a win felt. Losses are the cost of entertainment, not a debt owed by the Platform.
Don't Gamble Emotionally
Avoid gambling when you are stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states reduce judgment and increase the risk of poor decisions. Some of the worst gambling sessions happen right after a difficult day or a frustrating cricket result.
Take Regular Breaks
Use lick91's session timer and reality-check features to enforce regular breaks. Step away from the screen, have a glass of water, and take stock of where your session stands. A 10-minute break every hour can dramatically improve decision quality.
Balance Gambling With Other Activities
Gambling should be one leisure activity among many — not the primary focus of your recreational time. If you find yourself turning down other activities (socialising, exercise, family time in Lahore or Karachi) to gamble, that shift in priority deserves attention.
Talk to Someone You Trust
If you are concerned about your gambling habits, share that concern with a family member, a close friend or a professional. Acknowledging the concern out loud to another person is often the most important step. lick91 support can also connect you with information about external responsible gambling resources.

Professional Gambling Support
International responsible gambling bodies provide confidential support and self-help resources for individuals and families affected by problem gambling. The following organisations are referenced for informational purposes as recognised responsible gambling resources internationally:
- Gamblers Anonymous International — A peer-support fellowship with chapters across multiple countries. Operates on a 12-step programme model. Information available through their international website (not linked here).
- GamCare (UK) — Provides counselling, support and resources for people affected by problem gambling. Referenced as a recognised international resource.
- BeGambleAware (UK) — Offers a free national helpline and self-help tools for gambling harm. Referenced as an international responsible gambling resource.
Pakistani Users — Local Resources: Pakistan does not currently have a government-run or widely established national responsible gambling helpline equivalent to those in the UK or EU. Users in Pakistan who are concerned about problem gambling are encouraged to speak with a general mental health professional, seek support through private counselling services, or contact a trusted family member or community leader. lick91 does not fabricate specific Pakistani helpline numbers and does not imply official Pakistani authority endorsement. If you need help, please use lick91's self-exclusion tool and seek qualified professional support independently.
