Player Protection

Responsible Gambling
at we786

Gambling should always be entertaining — something you do by choice, within limits you control, with money you can afford. we786 provides every registered player with the tools, information and direct support access needed to keep it that way. This page explains what those tools are, how to use them and where to get help if gambling stops being fun.

18+ ONLY

Strictly adults only. 18+ or the higher minimum required by the operator/license jurisdiction. Local laws may restrict gambling.

Need help right now? Contact our responsible gambling support team via live chat 24/7, or reach out to a recognised problem gambling helpline in your jurisdiction. If you are in crisis, please seek professional support immediately.

Gambling Is Entertainment, Not Income

At we786 we hold a clear position: gambling is a form of entertainment for consenting adults who choose to participate with full awareness of the risks involved. It is not a strategy for financial gain, and it should never be pursued to recover losses, escape stress or generate everyday income.

Pakistan has one of the world's most passionate cricket followings — from the buzzing PSL nights in Lahore to ICC tournament watch parties across Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar. We understand the excitement of following your team and the appeal of sports markets. That excitement is exactly why we insist it stays healthy. A bet on a T20 match should add to the experience, not create financial pressure or relationship strain.

we786 has built responsible gambling tools directly into the account area — not buried in a help centre. Every player can set their own limits, take a break or self-exclude within minutes, at any time of day or night. No waiting periods for activation. No barriers to accessing support.

Important Legal Notice

Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 and related provincial legislation govern gambling activity in Pakistan. we786 does not claim to be licensed, endorsed or approved by the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan, or any provincial authority. Users are solely responsible for determining whether their use of the Platform is lawful in their jurisdiction. This page does not constitute legal advice.

Principles of Mindful Play

Set a Budget Before You Start

Decide how much you can comfortably afford to lose before you open a game or place a bet. Treat it as the cost of entertainment — like a cinema ticket or a meal out. Once it is spent, stop.

Time Is a Limit Too

It is easy to lose track of time during a live match or an engrossing slot session. Set a time limit alongside your budget. When the session time expires, close the app and step away.

Never Chase Losses

Chasing losses is the most common and most damaging pattern in problem gambling. If you lose your session budget, accept it and stop. Increasing stakes to "get it back" nearly always makes things worse.

Gamble Sober and Rested

Gambling while under the influence of alcohol, stimulants or when exhausted leads to poor decisions and higher risk behaviour. Play when you are clear-headed and in control.

Keep It in Balance

Gambling should be one leisure activity among many. If you find yourself cancelling plans, skipping work or prioritising gaming over relationships and responsibilities, that is a warning sign worth acting on.

Player Protection Tools

All six tools below are accessible from your we786 account settings at any time. Setting limits is instant. Self-exclusion is processed within 24 hours and cannot be reversed until the exclusion period ends.

Deposit Limits

Cap the maximum amount you can deposit into your account per day, per week or per month. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Increases to deposit limits take 24 hours to apply; decreases are immediate.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss threshold for daily, weekly or monthly periods. Once your net losses reach the limit you have set, the Platform will prevent further wagering until the period expires. Loss limit reductions apply immediately.

Session Time Limits

Restrict how long a single gaming session can last. When the time limit is reached, you will be logged out automatically. You can also enable a Reality Check — a periodic notification showing how long you have been playing.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short, structured break from gambling without committing to a full self-exclusion. Cool-off periods range from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a cool-off, your account remains open for withdrawals but no deposits or wagers are accepted.

Self-Exclusion

Voluntarily exclude yourself from the Platform for a set period (minimum 6 months) or permanently. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours. During exclusion, your account is suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications. Permanent exclusion cannot be reversed.

Reality Check Alerts

Enable periodic reminders that display your session duration and net win/loss position at set intervals (e.g., every 30 or 60 minutes). Reality check alerts help you stay aware of time and money spent during a session without interrupting gameplay unless you choose to stop.

How to Access Your Tools: Log in to your we786 account, navigate to Account Settings and select "Responsible Gambling". All six tools are listed there. If you need help finding them or want a tool applied immediately by our team, contact support via live chat — available 24/7 in English and Urdu.

How Limits Work

Understanding the mechanics of each limit type helps you choose the right combination for your circumstances. The table summarises the key operational differences between limit types.

Limit Type Applies To Decrease Wait Increase Wait
Deposit Limit Amount deposited Immediate 24 hours
Loss Limit Net losses incurred Immediate 24 hours
Session Time Duration of play Immediate 24 hours
Cool-Off Access to deposits/bets N/A After period ends
Self-Exclusion Full account access N/A After exclusion period
PKR Context: When setting deposit or loss limits in PKR, think in terms that are meaningful to your own budget. A weekly deposit limit of PKR 1,000 or PKR 5,000 is a reasonable starting point for recreational players. Our support team can help you decide what level fits your situation — in English or Urdu via live chat.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. It tends to develop gradually. Recognising these patterns early — in yourself or someone close to you — is the most important step toward getting help before things escalate.

Gambling with money set aside for bills, food, rent or family expenses (including PKR budgets for household needs).

Returning to gamble immediately after losing in order to win back the money — "chasing losses".

Hiding gambling activity from family or friends, or lying about how much time and money you spend.

Feeling anxious, irritable or depressed when unable to gamble, or when attempting to cut down.

Needing to gamble with larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement.

Missing work, studies or important family obligations in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or elsewhere because of gambling.

Borrowing money, selling personal possessions or taking out loans to fund gambling activity.

Gambling late into the night, losing sleep and struggling to maintain normal daily routines.

If you recognise three or more of the above signs, we strongly encourage you to activate self-exclusion immediately and seek professional support. Contact our team via live chat — we can help activate tools immediately and point you to support resources.
