Responsible Gambling

At like33, we believe gambling should always be a source of entertainment — never stress, debt or harm. This page outlines the tools, resources and principles that support safe, responsible play for every user on our platform across Pakistan.

Strictly 18+ only, or the higher minimum age required by the operator/license jurisdiction

Gambling is Entertainment — Keep It That Way

For millions of people, placing a bet on a Pakistan cricket match or following the PSL season adds an extra layer of excitement. That enjoyment only stays healthy when gambling remains what it is meant to be: a leisure activity with money you can afford to spend.

Responsible gambling means making informed choices — setting limits before you start, sticking to a budget and knowing when to walk away. like33 is committed to giving every user the tools and information needed to keep that balance.

Whether you are in Karachi tracking a live T20 match or in Lahore enjoying casino games, the same principle applies: gamble within your means, and never chase losses. The moment gambling starts to feel like a chore, an obligation or a way to solve financial problems, it is time to pause and use the tools on this page.

like33 does not claim regulatory approval from the Government of Pakistan or any Pakistani authority. Users in Pakistan are solely responsible for understanding their legal position regarding online gambling under applicable Pakistani law, including the Prevention of Gambling Act 1977.

Important Reminder

Gambling involves real money and real risk. You can lose more than you deposit. No betting strategy guarantees a win. If you are under 18 — or the higher minimum age required by the operator/license jurisdiction — you must not use the like33 platform under any circumstances.

Gambling responsibly means: treating it as entertainment, setting a budget in advance, never borrowing to gamble, taking regular breaks, and using the platform's built-in limit and self-exclusion tools proactively.
Gambling irresponsibly means: chasing losses, wagering more than you can afford, hiding gambling from family, gambling to cope with stress or anxiety, or feeling unable to stop.

Six Pillars of Safe Play on like33

These principles guide how like33 approaches player protection across the platform, every day.

Strict Age Verification

The like33 platform is accessible to adults only — 18 years of age or the higher minimum required by the operator's license jurisdiction. Age is verified as part of the KYC process, and suspected underage accounts are suspended immediately pending documentary proof. If you are a parent or guardian, please use device controls to restrict access to gambling websites.

Deposit & Loss Limits

Users can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits and loss limits directly within their Account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a cooling-off delay to ensure they are not made impulsively. Reducing a limit takes effect straight away.

Session Time Limits

It is easy to lose track of time when you are caught up in a live match or casino session. like33 allows users to set session time limits that trigger a notification — or automatic logout — when your chosen time is reached. Regular breaks are proven to support healthier gambling habits and clearer decision-making.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is becoming harmful, self-exclusion lets you voluntarily block access to your like33 Account for a defined period — from a short cooling-off break to a permanent closure. Self-exclusion requests are processed promptly. During exclusion, marketing communications are also suspended. This tool is there for you to use without judgment.

Reality Check Notifications

Reality check alerts prompt you to review how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during that session. These pop-up reminders are designed to give you a moment of perspective mid-session, helping you stay in control rather than getting swept up in the excitement of a live PSL or ICC match day.

24/7 Support Access

Our customer support team is available around the clock through the platform's live chat feature. If you have concerns about your gambling, want to activate a limit or need guidance on self-exclusion, do not hesitate to reach out. Support is available in English and, on request, in Urdu to ensure Pakistani users feel understood and assisted effectively.

Tools Built Into Your like33 Account

Every registered user has access to the following responsible gambling tools directly from their Account settings. You do not need to contact support to activate most of these — they are available to you at any time.

Deposit Limit

Cap the total amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; increases are subject to a mandatory review delay.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a set time period. When your net losses reach that threshold, further wagering is suspended until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your sessions within a comfortable budget.

Session Time Limit

Define the maximum amount of time you want to spend on the platform in a single session. When your time is up, you will receive a notification prompting you to review and decide whether to continue or log out. Automatic logout can also be enabled for extra control.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from the platform — from 24 hours up to several weeks — without permanently closing your Account. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. Marketing communications are paused. Your Account remains intact for when you return.

Self-Exclusion

Request a longer-term or permanent exclusion from the platform. Self-exclusion is appropriate if you feel gambling is causing harm to your finances, relationships or mental wellbeing. Exclusions can range from six months to permanent closure. Once applied, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the minimum period has elapsed.

Reality Check Alerts

Schedule regular on-screen reminders during your session that show your current session duration and net position. These gentle prompts are designed to keep you informed and grounded, especially during high-intensity live betting events like Pakistan vs India T20 internationals or ICC knockout matches.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with your daily life, relationships or finances. These are some of the common warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you know:

  • Spending more money on gambling than you planned or can afford
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling
  • Chasing losses — placing bigger bets to try to win back what you lost
  • Feeling irritable, anxious or restless when not gambling
  • Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends
  • Neglecting work, studies or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Gambling to escape stress, depression or other emotional difficulties
  • Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling on your own
  • Preoccupation with gambling — constantly thinking about the next bet
  • Using Easypaisa, JazzCash or other payment methods to deposit far more than budgeted
If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone close to you, please reach out for help. Seek assistance from recognised problem gambling support services in your region. You can also contact like33 support at any time to activate self-exclusion tools — no questions asked.

Quick Self-Check: Is Your Gambling Still Healthy?

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to two or more, consider speaking to a support service or using like33's self-exclusion tools.

Q1. Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses like rent, food or bills?
Q2. Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling?
Q3. Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible?
Q4. Do you feel a strong urge to gamble when you are stressed, bored or upset?
Q5. Have you borrowed money or sold possessions in order to gamble?
Q6. Have you continued gambling after deciding you would stop?
This self-check is for awareness purposes only — it is not a clinical diagnosis. If your answers concern you, please seek professional support from a recognised gambling support organisation in your region.

Responsible Gambling FAQs

Quick answers to the most common questions about staying safe on like33.

Log in to your like33 Account and navigate to the Responsible Gambling section in your Account settings. From there you can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits. Your chosen limit takes effect immediately. If you need assistance setting up limits, our 24/7 live chat support team can guide you through the process.

Self-exclusion is a firm commitment to protect your wellbeing. Once applied, a self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the minimum exclusion period has elapsed. This cooling-off requirement exists deliberately — to protect users from impulsive decisions during a vulnerable moment. When your exclusion period ends, a further review process applies before Account access is reinstated.

Any real-money balance remaining in your Account at the time of self-exclusion can be withdrawn before the exclusion takes full effect, subject to any applicable withdrawal conditions. Please contact our support team immediately if you need assistance processing a withdrawal alongside a self-exclusion request. Bonus balances may be forfeited in line with the platform's Terms & Conditions.

A cool-off period gives you a short break from the platform without permanently closing your Account. You can request a cool-off of 24 hours, 48 hours, one week or longer through your Account settings or by contacting live chat support. During the cool-off, you will not be able to log in or deposit, and all marketing communications will be paused.
