Gaming on q78 should always be an enjoyable hobby — not a source of stress or financial strain. This page covers everything you need to stay in control: budgeting tips in PKR, self-exclusion tools, warning signs to watch out for, and practical advice tailored for players in Pakistan.
Play Smart
Set a budget. Set a limit.
Keep it fun.
For adults aged 18+ only
q78 provides several built-in tools to help players manage their gaming activity and stay within personal limits.
Set a personal spending limit in PKR for daily, weekly or monthly deposits. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Your budget, your rules.
Enable session reminders to receive an alert after a set period of time on the platform. Knowing how long you have been playing helps you make a conscious decision to continue or take a break.
If you feel you need a complete break, you can request a self-exclusion period through q78 support. During this time your account will be deactivated and cannot be used for gaming or deposits.
Set a maximum loss limit in PKR for a given period. When your losses reach the threshold you have chosen, your account will automatically stop accepting further wagers until the period resets.
Not ready for full self-exclusion but want a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for a defined number of days, giving you space to reassess without permanently closing the account.
Regular reality check notifications display how long you have been in your current session and your net win or loss in PKR. These brief prompts encourage mindful play without interrupting your session.
Our Commitment: q78 is for entertainment only. Gaming should never be used as a way to earn income, solve financial problems or escape stress. If gaming stops being fun, please use the tools on this page or contact our support team immediately.
Responsible gaming means playing online casino games, slots, live casino or betting on cricket and PSL matches within limits that you are genuinely comfortable with — financially, emotionally and in terms of time. The core idea is straightforward: gaming is a paid form of entertainment, not a money-making strategy.
At q78, we believe the vast majority of players enjoy the platform without any issues. They top up a set amount in PKR using JazzCash or Easypaisa, have a session, and move on with their day. Responsible gaming is about making sure it stays that way — and giving players the right tools and information if something starts to shift.
The first and most important principle is this: only ever spend what you can genuinely afford to lose entirely. Treat your q78 balance the same way you would treat money spent on a cinema ticket or a match-day outing — once it is spent, that is fine, because the entertainment was the point.
One of the most effective things any player can do is establish a clear gaming budget before they start. This is not about restricting your enjoyment — it is about protecting your financial wellbeing so that gaming stays stress-free.
Here is a practical approach that works well for q78 players in Pakistan:
| Monthly Entertainment Budget (PKR) | Sessions Per Month | Suggested Per-Session Limit (PKR) |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | 4 | 250 |
| 2,500 | 5 | 500 |
| 5,000 | 8 | 625 |
| 10,000 | 10 | 1,000 |
These are illustrative examples only. Your actual budget should reflect your personal financial situation and what you are genuinely comfortable spending on entertainment.
Most people never experience any problems with gaming. But it is helpful to know what the early warning signs look like so you can act before they become something bigger. Here are some honest indicators that a gaming habit may be shifting from entertainment into something that deserves more attention:
Continuing to deposit more PKR specifically to try to win back what you have already lost in a session or across recent sessions.
Using borrowed money, credit, or funds set aside for essential expenses like bills or groceries to fund gaming sessions.
Feeling the need to hide how much time or money you are spending on q78 from family members or close friends.
Turning to gaming primarily to deal with stress, anxiety, boredom or personal problems rather than for entertainment.
Regularly playing for much longer than you originally intended without realising it until the session is already well over your planned time.
Letting work, family commitments, studies or daily responsibilities slip because of time or mental energy spent on gaming.
Recognising one or more of these signs in yourself is not something to feel ashamed about — it is useful information. The right move is to use q78's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools immediately and, if needed, speak to someone you trust.
Take a few honest moments to reflect on the following questions. There are no right or wrong answers — this is purely for your own awareness:
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, it is worth taking a short break from q78 and speaking with someone you trust. You can also contact q78 support to activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion at any time — no questions asked, no judgment.
Sports betting on cricket — including Pakistan Super League matches, T20 internationals and bilateral series — is one of the most popular activities on q78. The excitement of a live PSL game combined with a wager can genuinely add to the experience of watching. But sports betting carries the same responsible gaming principles as any other form of gaming on the platform.
A few things worth keeping in mind specifically for sports and cricket betting:
All of q78's responsible gaming tools are accessible through your account settings or by contacting the support team directly. Here is a brief overview of each tool and how to activate it:
Navigate to your account settings and select the deposit limits section. You can set a daily, weekly or monthly maximum deposit amount in PKR. The limit takes effect immediately. Increases to a limit require a cooling-off period before they come into force, but reductions apply straight away.
Similar to deposit limits, loss limits can be set through your account settings. When your net losses across a defined period reach the amount you have set, q78 will restrict further wagering until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing chasing-loss behaviour.
Enable session reminders in your notification settings. You can choose intervals of 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. When the interval is reached, you will receive an on-screen prompt showing your session duration and net balance change, allowing you to make an informed decision about whether to continue.
Contact q78 support and request a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days or 30 days. Your account will be suspended for gaming and deposits during this period. The cooling-off cannot be reversed early — this is by design to give you genuine breathing room.
Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure for players who feel they need an extended break from q78. Contact support to request a self-exclusion of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or longer. During self-exclusion, your account is deactivated. Any pending withdrawals of funds already in your account will still be processed. To re-register after a self-exclusion period, you will be required to confirm you have reflected on your gaming habits before the account is reinstated.
If you are concerned about your own gaming habits or those of someone close to you, the most important step is to reach out — whether that is to q78 support, a trusted family member, or a friend. There is no shame in recognising that something has shifted and choosing to act on it.
q78 support is available to help you activate any of the responsible gaming tools described on this page. You can reach the team via the contact details in the footer of this page. Support requests related to responsible gaming are treated with full confidentiality and without judgment.
For anyone dealing with a more serious concern, speaking openly with a trusted person in your life is always a positive first step. Family conversations about gaming budgets and habits are healthy and normal — not a sign of weakness.
Remember: q78 does not provide financial advice, counselling or medical services. If you feel that gaming is seriously affecting your mental health, finances or family life, please seek support from a qualified professional or someone you trust in your personal network.
q78 is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We take our responsibility towards younger people seriously and have several measures in place to prevent underage access.
If you believe a person under 18 has accessed q78, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
