Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a source of stress, financial difficulty or harm. This page explains the tools, resources and commitments jjwian has in place to help you stay in control at all times.
For the vast majority of players, sports betting and online casino games are a legitimate form of entertainment. Watching a PSL match between Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars is more engaging when you have a stake on the line — and for most people, that is exactly what it remains: a bit of added excitement on top of something they already enjoy.
But gambling can become a problem for some individuals, regardless of where they are from or how experienced they are. At jjwian, we take this seriously. Responsible gambling is not a policy document buried in a footer — it is a set of real, working tools built directly into your account, alongside a support pathway that is clear and accessible.
The tools described on this page are available to all registered users. You do not need to contact support to use them. Deposit limits, loss caps, session timers and self-exclusion are all accessible directly from your Account Settings at any time. We strongly encourage every user on the platform — whether you are based in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi or anywhere else — to be aware of these controls before they are ever needed.
If you are concerned that gambling is having a negative impact on your finances, relationships or mental wellbeing, please use the self-exclusion tool immediately and seek support. We will always prioritise player safety over platform engagement.
Understanding the difference between recreational gambling and harmful gambling is the first step to staying in control.

⚠ Problem Signals
Every one of these tools is available directly in your jjwian Account Settings — no support ticket required. They activate promptly and are designed to help, not hinder.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit cap directly from your account dashboard. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be raised without a mandatory waiting period — protecting you from impulsive decisions made in the moment.
Specify the maximum amount in PKR that you are comfortable losing within a given period. When you reach that threshold, further Wagers will be blocked for the remainder of the period — regardless of your available balance.
It is easy to lose track of time during a live cricket match or an extended casino session. Session timers send you a notification after a defined period, giving you the opportunity to review your activity and decide whether to continue.
If you want to take a short break without committing to full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to wager. Available in durations of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days — your choice.
The strongest tool available. Self-exclusion locks your account for a defined period — or indefinitely. It activates immediately, cannot be reversed during the elected period, and prevents re-registration attempts. Use it if gambling is causing harm.
Your account includes a full transaction and wagering history. Reviewing your deposit, withdrawal and bet history regularly is one of the most effective ways to stay aware of your gambling behaviour over time.
Limits are your first line of defence against overspending. Here is how each category works on jjwian.
Caps the total amount you can deposit within any rolling 24-hour period. Resets at midnight PKT (Pakistan Standard Time).
A 7-day cap on deposits or losses, measured from Monday 00:00 PKT to Sunday 23:59 PKT. Gives you an overview that matches a natural spending cycle.
The longest standard period — ideal for users who manage spending on a monthly household budget. Resets on the 1st of each calendar month at 00:00 PKT.
Limits can be decreased immediately. Any request to increase a limit is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period before the increase takes effect — protecting you against impulsive decisions.
Self-exclusion is available to any jjwian user at any time. It is the most comprehensive player protection tool on the Platform and is designed for users who feel their gambling has reached a point where they need a firm break.
When you self-exclude, your account is locked immediately. You will not be able to log in, deposit or place Wagers for the duration of your chosen exclusion period. Any pending withdrawal requests will be processed and funds returned to you.
Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the elected period. Any attempts to re-register under a different email or identity will be blocked where technically possible. If you approach the end of an exclusion period, you will receive a notification and a mandatory reflection period before the account can be reopened.
Access your account from any device. You do not need to contact support — the tool is available 24/7 directly in your settings.
Navigate to "Responsible Gambling" or "Player Protection" within the Account Settings menu in the top-right corner of the platform.
Choose the self-exclusion option from the list of available tools. Select your preferred exclusion period: 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or indefinite.
Review the summary of what self-exclusion means. Confirm your decision. The exclusion activates immediately upon confirmation — no further steps are required.
A confirmation email is sent to your registered address. Your account is locked and you will be automatically logged out. Promotional communications from jjwian will also be suspended during the exclusion period.
If you feel you need help beyond self-exclusion, please read the support resources section below. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Knowing the early warning signs gives you the best chance to take action before things escalate. These signs apply to anyone — regardless of income, background or how long they have been gambling.
