Play Safe, Stay in Control

Responsible Gaming – Play Safe at 3rrc

Gaming at 3rrc should always be fun, affordable and within your limits. This page covers the tools available to help you stay in control, the warning signs to watch for, and practical tips for keeping your betting healthy — especially around cricket season and PSL.

Gaming is Entertainment — Not a Way to Make Money

Most people who bet on cricket or play slots are doing it for the fun of it. They set a budget, they enjoy the game, and they are fine whether they win or lose that session. That is the version of gaming 3rrc is built around. But we also know that for some people — at certain moments in their lives — it can stop being fun. That is why these tools and this page exist. Not as small print, but as something we actually want you to read and use.

18+ Platform Only: 3rrc is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Age verification is required during registration and may be requested again at any time. Minors must not use this platform.

Responsible Gaming Tools Available at 3rrc

These tools are built into your account settings. They are free, immediate and available to every registered player — no special request needed.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week or month. The limit is enforced automatically — once you hit it, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect straight away. Increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before it activates.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session length — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom duration. When your session reaches the limit, you receive a reminder notification. You can set the system to log you out automatically at the end of the session if you prefer a harder stop.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days — without fully closing your account. During a cooling-off period, you cannot deposit or bet. The period runs to its end before access is restored, even if you change your mind partway through.

Self-Exclusion

Close your access to 3rrc for a set period or permanently. Self-exclusion takes effect immediately. A temporary self-exclusion runs for the minimum chosen period regardless of any request to reactivate early. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. Contact support to activate.

Loss Limits

Set a cap on the total amount you can lose in a given period. If your losses reach the limit before the period ends, betting is paused until the next period begins. This works independently of deposit limits — you can use both together for tighter control.

Activity History

Check your full bet history, deposit and withdrawal records and session durations at any time from your account dashboard. Reviewing your own activity regularly is one of the simplest ways to spot patterns before they become problems.

How to access these tools: Log in to your 3rrc account, go to Account Settings, then select Responsible Gaming. All tools listed above are found there. If you have any trouble locating them, contact support at [email protected] and a team member will guide you through the process.

What Responsible Gaming Actually Means

Responsible gaming is not about telling you not to play. It is about making sure that when you do play — whether you are betting on a PSL match, spinning slots, or sitting in a bingo room — you are doing it with money you can afford to lose, time you have set aside for it, and a mindset that stays relaxed whether the result goes your way or not.

The problem is not losing a bet. Every bet has a loser. The problem is when losing leads to chasing — depositing more to try to get back what you lost, betting bigger than planned, staying logged in longer than you intended, or using money that was supposed to cover something else. That pattern is what responsible gaming tools are designed to interrupt.

Pakistan has a very strong cricket culture, and during PSL season or a big T20 series, betting activity tends to spike. That is completely natural. But these are also the moments when it is easiest to get caught up in the excitement, top up more than planned, or place bets driven by emotion after a bad result rather than by considered judgment. The same applies to slots and live casino — the speed of the games means time can pass quickly. Checking the clock and your balance occasionally is a simple habit worth building.

Responsible gaming is a personal thing and looks different for everyone. For one person it might mean setting a PKR 500 weekly deposit limit and sticking to it. For another it might mean only playing on weekends. For someone who has noticed they are spending more than they want to, it might mean a 30-day cooling-off period to reset. 3rrc provides the tools for all of these — using them is always your choice, but they are always there.

The Basics of Playing Safely
01
Set a Budget Before You Open the App

Decide how much you are comfortable spending this session before you log in. Not while you are already playing — before. That amount is your entertainment budget for that session.

02
Treat Losses as the Cost of Entertainment

When you buy a cinema ticket, you do not expect a refund if the film is not great. Treat betting the same way. If you lose your session budget, that is what it cost. The slot or the match was the entertainment.

03
Never Bet Money You Cannot Afford to Lose

Rent money, bill money, savings — these are off limits. If a loss would genuinely affect your daily life, the stake is too high. Reduce it or do not bet this session.

04
Take Regular Breaks During Long Sessions

Get up, have some chai, do something else for 15 minutes. Breaking the session rhythm helps you come back with a clearer head rather than deep in a loss-chasing spiral.

05
Do Not Bet When Stressed or Upset

If you have had a difficult day, a family argument, or financial stress, that is not a good time to open the betting app. Emotional states affect decision-making and make it easier to bet more than intended.

Warning Signs That Gaming May Be Becoming a Problem

Most of these signs seem small on their own. It is the pattern — several of them together, or one of them regularly — that is worth taking seriously.

Chasing Losses

Depositing again after a losing session specifically to try and win the money back. This is one of the clearest signs that gaming has shifted from entertainment to something else.

Spending More Than Planned

You regularly end up depositing more than you set out to, or the session budget you told yourself keeps getting raised once you are already playing.

Hiding Gaming Activity

Not telling family members or close friends how much time or money you are spending on gaming, or feeling the need to be secretive about it.

Losing Track of Time

Sitting down for what you planned as a quick 20-minute session and realising two hours have passed. Time distortion during gaming is a common early indicator of problematic patterns.

Gaming to Escape Problems

Using betting or casino games as a way to avoid thinking about stress, financial worries, relationship issues or other problems rather than as actual entertainment.

Using Essential Money for Gaming

Dipping into money allocated for household expenses, groceries, bills, school fees or other essentials to fund a betting session — even once — is a significant warning sign.

If any of these feel familiar: Use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tool in your account settings right now. Taking a break is not failure — it is the right call. If you feel gaming is affecting your life, your relationships or your finances beyond what you are comfortable with, please seek support from a trusted person in your life. 3rrc is a gaming platform, not a counselling service, but we do want you to be okay.

Quick Self-Assessment Questions

Answer these honestly, for yourself. There is no submission, no score, no data sent anywhere — this is purely for your own reflection.

1. In the past month, have you deposited more than you originally intended to in a single session?

Never — I always stick to my planned amount
Once or twice — it was a special occasion
Regularly — I often top up more than I plan

2. Do you think about gaming at times when you are doing other things — at work, during family time, while trying to sleep?

No — gaming stays in its own compartment
Sometimes — especially during big matches
Yes, often — it occupies my thoughts a lot

3. If you had a losing session and could not deposit again right now, how would you feel?

Fine — I would just wait until my budget refreshes
A bit frustrated but okay
Very anxious or upset — I would look for another way to deposit

4. Has anyone close to you expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming?

No
They have mentioned it in passing
Yes, more than once and seriously
What to do with your answers: If you found yourself selecting the third option for more than one question, it is worth considering a cooling-off period or deposit limit. If the fourth question resonates, have a proper conversation with that person. Their concern matters.

How to Set Up Your Limits on 3rrc

Setting limits takes about two minutes and you only need to do it once — though you can update them at any time. Here is exactly how it works:

01
Log In to Your Account

Open the 3rrc website or app and log in with your registered mobile number and password.

02
Go to Account Settings

Tap or click your account icon in the top right corner and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

03
Select Responsible Gaming

Find the Responsible Gaming section within Settings. All available control tools are listed here in one place.

04
Choose and Set Your Limit

Pick the tool — deposit limit, session time, loss limit or cooling-off period. Enter your chosen value and confirm. Reductions are instant. Increases have a cooling-off period.

05
Check It Worked

Try to go over your deposit limit or session limit. The platform should block it. If anything does not work as expected, contact support at [email protected] immediately.

What Limits Are Right for You?

There is no universal right answer. Here are some starting points based on common situations:

Occasional player (few times a month) PKR 500–1,000/week
Regular player (a few sessions per week) PKR 1,500–3,000/week
Budget cap (what you can genuinely afford) Start here first
The golden rule: Your gaming budget should come out of your discretionary money — what remains after rent, bills, food and savings are accounted for. It should never come out of those categories. Whatever that leftover number is, set your monthly deposit limit to no more than that figure.

Session time recommendation: Most players find that 1–2 hour sessions with a break are enjoyable. Sessions over 3 hours without a break increase the likelihood of fatigue-driven decisions — bigger bets, chasing losses, ignoring the budget you set at the start.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Yes — and we recommend doing exactly that. Once your account is registered and before you make any deposit, go to Account Settings and set your deposit limit. The limit will be active from the moment you confirm it, so your first deposit will already be subject to the cap you chose.

Any real-money balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion is held securely. For temporary self-exclusion, it is available when the period ends. For permanent self-exclusion, contact support after the exclusion is confirmed to arrange a return of verified real-money funds to your registered payment method. Bonus balances that have not met wagering requirements will be forfeited.

No. Cooling-off periods are fixed once activated. This is by design — the value of a cooling-off period comes precisely from the fact that it cannot be undone on impulse. The period runs to completion before normal access is restored. If it feels frustrating in the moment, that frustration is often exactly the reason it was the right choice to use it.

Immediately. If you reduce your deposit limit — from PKR 3,000 per week to PKR 1,000 per week, for example — the new lower limit is active the moment you confirm the change. You will not be able to deposit beyond it for the current period, even if you had previously deposited less than the old limit.

There is no special policy, but we do actively recommend that players review their deposit limits at the start of major cricket seasons. PSL brings more matches, more live betting opportunities and more promotional offers — all of which can increase spending naturally. Setting or reviewing your weekly deposit limit before PSL starts is a simple precaution that can save a lot of stress.

You can contact 3rrc support at [email protected] with a concern about a family member's account. We will not share any account details with you — that would be a privacy breach — but we can flag the account for a welfare review. If the account belongs to someone who is genuinely struggling, our team will reach out to that player directly through their registered contact details.
