Play Safe, Stay in Control

Responsible Gaming on f61 – Your Wellbeing Comes First

Betting on cricket, PSL and casino games on f61 should be a form of entertainment — something you enjoy within a budget you set yourself. This page covers everything you need to know about staying in control and the tools f61 provides to help you do that.

f61 is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. If you feel that your betting has stopped being fun and started causing financial or personal stress, the tools on this page and our 24/7 support team are here to help.


Six Ways f61 Supports Responsible Play

Responsible gaming is not a box-ticking exercise at f61. These tools were built with real users in mind — practical, accessible and effective.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day, week or month. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately. If you want to increase your limit later, a mandatory 24-hour waiting period applies before the change is confirmed.

Bet Size Limits

Control the maximum stake you can place on a single bet. This works independently of your deposit limit — useful if you want to stay in the action across more markets without putting too much on any one bet.

Session Time Alerts

Set a reminder that triggers after you have been logged in for a defined period — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, whatever works for you. Time passes quickly when you are following a match, and these alerts keep you aware of how long you have been playing.

Self-Exclusion

Temporarily or permanently block access to your f61 account. Options range from 24 hours to permanent closure. Self-exclusions take effect immediately. During a self-exclusion period, your account cannot be reactivated regardless of the request.

Reality Check

Opt into periodic pop-up summaries that show how long you have been in your current session and how much you have deposited or wagered. A short pause and a look at the numbers is often all it takes to make a better decision.

24/7 Support Access

If you want to apply any limit or request a self-exclusion but are having trouble locating it in settings, contact support via live chat. Responsible gaming requests are treated as priority and handled by real people, not bots.

What Responsible Gaming Actually Means

Responsible gaming means approaching betting and casino games as a form of paid entertainment — the same way you would approach buying a cinema ticket or going out for a meal. You decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending, you enjoy the experience, and you do not chase losses when things do not go your way.

Pakistan has a growing community of sports fans and gaming enthusiasts who bet on cricket, PSL matches, T20 internationals, football and esports through platforms like f61. For the vast majority of players, this is exactly what it should be — an enjoyable part of following sport. The PSL final is more exciting when you have got some skin in the game. A slot session or fish game is a fun way to relax. That is the experience f61 is built to deliver.

The problem shows up when betting stops being enjoyable and becomes a compulsion — when someone is depositing money they cannot afford to lose, chasing previous losses, or hiding their betting activity from family. Those are the signs that the entertainment has tipped into something more serious, and that is when the tools on this page become genuinely important.

f61 does not romanticise problem gambling or pretend it does not happen. A small but real proportion of people who use online betting platforms develop habits that become difficult to control. Acknowledging that honestly, and providing effective tools to help, is part of operating a platform that respects its users.

One rule above all others: Never bet money that you need for rent, food, school fees or other essential expenses. Set a separate entertainment budget and treat it as the cost of the fun — not as capital you expect to grow.

Signs of Healthy Betting
  • You set a budget before each session and stick to it
  • Losing does not significantly affect your mood or daily life
  • You can take breaks from betting without difficulty
  • You bet for entertainment, not to earn income
  • You are open about your betting with people close to you
  • You never borrow money to fund betting
Warning Signs to Watch For
  • Depositing more than you originally planned to spend
  • Chasing losses by making bigger bets to win back
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or distracted when not playing
  • Hiding betting activity from family or friends
  • Betting money needed for bills or essential expenses
  • Feeling unable to stop even when you want to

Tips for Keeping Betting Enjoyable

These are not complicated rules — they are the habits that most players who enjoy betting long-term naturally develop.

  • Decide your budget before you start. Before you open the cricket betting section or launch a slot, decide how much you are comfortable spending in that session. Stick to it.
  • Do not chase losses. If you have hit your session budget and the last few bets did not go your way, resist the urge to deposit more to win it back. That is the most common pattern that leads to overspending.
  • Take regular breaks. Set session time alerts and actually use the break when the notification comes. Step away from the screen, have some chai, then decide whether to continue.
  • Keep betting separate from your finances. Set aside a specific monthly entertainment budget for f61 — separate from money for bills, groceries or savings. When it is gone, it is gone.
  • Do not bet when stressed or upset. Betting while in a negative emotional state leads to poor decisions. The best time to bet on a PSL match is when you are relaxed and following the game for fun.
  • Use the tools f61 provides. Deposit limits and session alerts are not just for people with serious problems. Any player who wants to keep betting fun and within budget can benefit from using them.

Keeping Minors Away from the Platform

f61 does not permit anyone under the age of 18 to register or use the platform. This is a firm rule with no exceptions. The minimum age is confirmed during registration, and f61 may request proof of age documents — including CNIC — at any point.

If you are a parent or guardian and you are concerned that a young person in your household may be accessing online betting sites, there are practical steps you can take. Most modern Android and iOS devices have parental control features built in that allow you to block access to specific websites or categories of apps. Third-party parental control apps available in the Pakistani market provide additional filtering options.

If you believe someone under 18 has registered an f61 account, contact support immediately. The account will be closed without delay and any deposits will be returned through the original payment method where possible.

Device-level protection: For Android users, Google Family Link allows parents to monitor and restrict app and website usage. For iPhone and iPad users, Screen Time provides similar controls. Both are free and built into the operating systems your children are likely already using.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Log in to your f61 account, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Select the period (daily, weekly or monthly) and enter your maximum PKR deposit amount. The limit takes effect as soon as you confirm it. If you later want to increase the limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies before the increase is activated.

A cooling-off period is a short-term break — typically 24 hours to 7 days — during which you cannot place bets or access casino games, but your account remains open and your balance is preserved. Self-exclusion is a longer-term or permanent block on your account. With self-exclusion, login is fully blocked for the duration you choose. Both tools take effect immediately. The key difference is duration and intent: cooling-off is a pause, self-exclusion is a more serious commitment to stop.

Yes. If you have a real-money balance in your f61 account when you apply a self-exclusion, you can request a withdrawal of that balance. Any pending bonus funds that have not yet met wagering requirements will be forfeited as part of the self-exclusion process. Contact support to process the withdrawal — they will arrange it without requiring you to log back in to your account.

Yes — limit reductions always take effect immediately. This is intentional. If you decide you want to spend less, that change should happen right away with no delay or cooling-off period. Only increases to limits require the 24-hour waiting period, giving you time to reconsider before a higher limit kicks in.

The first step is to use f61's self-exclusion tool to take a break from the platform. You can do this from Account Settings or by contacting live chat support — tell the agent you want an immediate self-exclusion and they will apply it straight away, no questions asked. Taking a break from betting is not a big deal — it is a sensible decision. Talk to someone you trust about how you are feeling. If the problem is serious, consider reaching out to a family member, a trusted friend, or a local counselling service that handles financial or behavioural concerns.

f61 monitors account activity for patterns that may indicate problem gambling — such as large and rapid increases in deposit frequency, long uninterrupted session times or sudden large bets placed after a losing streak. Where these patterns are detected, our team may reach out to the user with information about responsible gaming tools available to them. This is not intrusive — it is part of our commitment to the wellbeing of the people who use the platform.

Bet Responsibly — and Enjoy Every Match

Set your budget, use f61's responsible gaming tools and enjoy cricket betting, PSL odds, slots and fish games the way they are meant to be enjoyed. 18+ only. Play within your means.
