Gambling should be fun — a form of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial hardship. CR789 is committed to giving every Pakistani player the tools, knowledge, and support to keep it that way.
For millions of people, betting on a Pakistan vs India Test match or spinning a few slots during the PSL season is perfectly enjoyable recreation — something they do with a fixed budget and a clear head. CR789 wants to keep it exactly that way for every user on our platform.
Responsible gambling is not just a regulatory checkbox for us. It is a genuine commitment built into the design of the platform — from the limits you can set on your account on Day 1 to the self-exclusion tools available 24/7. This page explains every tool at your disposal, the warning signs to watch for, and what to do if gambling stops being fun.
Pakistani users should also be aware that gambling is subject to significant legal restrictions in Pakistan under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. Nothing on this page constitutes legal advice. If you are uncertain about your legal obligations, please seek independent legal guidance.

Every tool below is available to all registered CR789 users directly through account settings or by contacting support. None require a waiting period to activate — protection is always available right now.
Set a maximum amount you are allowed to deposit within a given period — daily, weekly, or monthly. For example, you might cap yourself at PKR 2,000 per week. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit may include a cooling-off delay, giving you time to reconsider.
A loss limit caps how much you can lose in a defined period — for instance, PKR 5,000 per month. If your net losses reach that threshold, the platform will block further wagering until the limit period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing session-chasing behaviour where players try to win back what they have lost.
Separate from loss limits, a wagering limit caps the total amount you can bet within a period regardless of win or loss outcomes. This gives you precise control over the volume of activity on your account — useful if you want to limit time spent rather than just money at risk.
Set a reminder to notify you when you have been playing for a set amount of time — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or a custom duration you choose. It is easy to lose track of time during an exciting PSL chase or a live casino session. A session reminder keeps you aware and in control of how long you have been playing.
A cool-off is a short, temporary break from the platform — typically 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off your account is suspended and you cannot deposit, wager, or access games. It is not permanent closure; it is breathing room. Cool-off requests are actioned as soon as reasonably practicable after submission.
Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment to stop gambling on CR789 — for a defined period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, 5 years) or permanently. Once self-exclusion is active, you cannot reactivate your account until the exclusion period has fully expired. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. Contact support to initiate this process — it will take effect as soon as reasonably practicable.
Setting responsible gambling limits on CR789 takes less than two minutes. You do not need to wait for support approval — most limits activate instantly through your account settings.
Access your account using your registered credentials. Make sure you are on the official CR789 platform before entering any personal details.
Find the Responsible Gambling or Safe Play section inside your account menu — typically under Profile Settings or Account Controls depending on the platform layout.
Select the type of limit you want — deposit, loss, wagering, or session time — then enter your desired threshold in PKR or minutes. You can set limits across daily, weekly, and monthly periods simultaneously.
Confirm your selection. Reductions take effect immediately. Increases may be subject to a cooling-off period — this is intentional and designed to prevent impulsive decision-making during a high-emotion session.
If you cannot find the limit settings or want to initiate self-exclusion, contact the CR789 support team via live chat (available 24/7) or by emailing [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). Support can activate protections on your behalf.
Problem gambling often develops gradually. These are some of the most common signs that gambling may be becoming harmful rather than recreational. If several of these apply to you — or someone you know — it is time to use the tools above or seek support.
This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a starting point for honest self-reflection. Read each question and ask yourself whether it has applied to you in the past 12 months.
CR789 enforces a strict minimum age policy. No person under the age of 18 — or under the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator licence jurisdiction — is permitted to register or use the platform in any capacity.
We verify age during the registration and KYC process. Any account found to belong to an underage user will be suspended immediately and all associated funds returned or withheld in accordance with applicable regulations.
If you share a device with children or younger siblings, we recommend using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Many freely available tools let you block categories of websites across your home Wi-Fi network or on individual devices — something that is easy to set up whether you are in Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, or anywhere else in Pakistan.
Install reputable parental control software on any shared device. Block gambling-category websites at the router level for complete household protection. This step costs nothing and takes only a few minutes to configure.
If you are worried about a family member's or friend's gambling — perhaps they are spending significant amounts of time on betting apps during PSL season, or you have noticed unexplained financial stress — there are practical steps you can take.
Choose a calm, private moment to express your concern — without judgment or blame. Focus on specific behaviours you have observed rather than making broad accusations. Listening is often more effective than lecturing.
Point them to this Responsible Gambling page so they can learn about the tools available and conduct their own self-assessment. Sometimes reading information independently feels less confrontational than receiving it from a loved one.
Professional counselling and support organisations exist in many regions. Encourage the person to seek help from a qualified mental health or addiction professional. Early intervention significantly improves outcomes.
If gambling has become a problem, reaching out for help is the right move. The following are general categories of support available. CR789 does not endorse any specific third-party organisation but encourages users to seek qualified assistance.
A licensed mental health or addiction counsellor can provide confidential, personalised support for problem gambling. Many offer remote sessions, which may be more accessible for users across Pakistan.
Peer support groups for gambling disorders exist in several countries operating under international licensing frameworks. Sharing experiences with others who understand can be a powerful first step toward recovery.
Your general physician or a mental health specialist can refer you to appropriate addiction support services. Gambling disorder is a recognised condition, and seeking medical support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Our support team is available 24/7 via live chat on the platform. They can activate limits, initiate self-exclusion, and provide guidance on all responsible gambling tools — at no cost and with no questions asked.
Decide how much you are willing to spend before opening the platform — not during a session. Think of it like buying a match-day ticket. Once the budget is gone, the session is over.
Step away from the screen periodically. A five-minute break during a long cricket betting session helps you stay sharp, re-evaluate your decisions, and avoid emotionally-driven bets in the heat of the moment.
Avoid gambling when you are stressed, tired, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Decision-making is impaired in these states and losses are far more likely to feel unbearable — increasing the risk of chasing behaviour.
CR789's responsible gambling tools are available to every user, right now. Set your limits, take a break, or explore our FAQ to learn more about safe play on the platform.
