sp718's Six Responsible Gaming Commitments


These are not just words on a page — they are the active policies that govern how sp718 operates its platform for every member across Pakistan.

Strict 21+ Age Policy

sp718 is absolutely restricted to members aged 21 years and above. Every registration undergoes age verification via CNIC as part of the KYC process. Accounts where a member is found to be under 21 are suspended immediately, balances returned, and data securely deleted. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Deposit and Loss Limits

Every sp718 member can set their own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in PKR directly from their account settings. Loss limits are also available to cap the maximum you can lose in a set period. Once set, limits take effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

It is easy to lose track of time during a long cricket betting session or a live casino game. sp718's session reminder tool sends you an in-platform notification after a duration of your choosing — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or a custom interval — so you stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Cooling-Off Periods

If you feel you need a break from sp718 without permanently closing your account, a cooling-off period lets you suspend access for a defined period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot deposit, place bets, or access the casino. The restriction activates instantly.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you believe your gambling is causing harm, sp718's permanent self-exclusion tool closes your account and opts you out of all sp718 marketing communications for a minimum period. Self-exclusion is irreversible for the minimum period specified in the sp718 Responsible Gaming Policy. We take this commitment seriously.

Trained Support Team

The sp718 support team is trained to identify and sensitively handle member contacts that involve responsible gaming concerns. If you reach out with a concern about your gambling behaviour, our team will guide you to the right tools and resources without judgment, and with your wellbeing as the priority.

How to Use sp718's Responsible Gaming Tools


All responsible gaming controls at sp718 are built directly into your member account. You do not need to contact support to activate most of them — they are available around the clock from your account settings panel. Here is how to access and use each tool available to Pakistani members.

To access your responsible gaming settings, log in to sp718, navigate to your account profile, and select "Responsible Gaming" from the menu. All tools listed below are available from that panel.

Changes to deposit limits and session reminders take effect immediately. Requests to increase limits are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the higher limit applies.

01
Set a Deposit Limit

Go to Responsible Gaming settings and select "Deposit Limits". Choose daily, weekly, or monthly. Enter your preferred PKR amount and confirm. The limit applies immediately to your JazzCash, EasyPaisa, bank transfer, and all other deposit methods linked to your sp718 account.

02
Set a Loss Limit

Under "Loss Limits", choose your preferred period and the maximum PKR amount you are comfortable losing in that window. Once your net losses reach the limit, sp718 will prevent further wagering until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for members who enjoy regular cricket or slot sessions.

03
Enable Session Time Reminders

Select "Session Reminders" and choose your preferred alert interval. sp718 will display a notification during your active session at the chosen interval. You can choose to continue playing or log out. The reminder is purely informational and does not interrupt your session automatically.

04
Activate a Cooling-Off Period

Select "Take a Break" to activate a cooling-off period from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time your sp718 account is suspended for betting, deposit, and casino access. The cooling-off activates immediately and cannot be cancelled early. All promotional emails are paused during this period.

05
Request Self-Exclusion

For a more serious commitment, select "Self-Exclusion" to permanently close your sp718 account for the minimum exclusion period. You will be asked to confirm your decision twice. Once confirmed, self-exclusion is irreversible for the minimum period. sp718 will also suppress all marketing to your registered email and mobile number.

06
Reality Check — View Your Activity

The "My Activity" section of your account shows a complete summary of your deposits, withdrawals, net wins and losses, and total time spent on the sp718 platform over any date range you select. Reviewing this data regularly is one of the most effective ways to stay informed and in control of your gaming habits.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling


Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. sp718 encourages all Pakistani members to regularly check in with themselves using the signs below. If several of these apply to you, it may be time to use sp718's responsible gaming tools or seek independent support.

You spend more time or money gambling on sp718 than you originally planned, and find it difficult to stop once you start.

You find yourself chasing losses — depositing more PKR to try to recover money you have already lost in a session.

Gambling is affecting your sleep, work, studies, or relationships with family members, friends, or colleagues.

You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to gamble, or when you try to reduce or stop gambling.

You are borrowing money, using bill money, or drawing from savings specifically to fund your sp718 deposits or other gambling activity.

You are hiding your gambling activity from your family or downplaying how much you spend or how often you play.

Gambling has stopped feeling like entertainment and now feels more like an obligation or the only way to relieve stress.

The sp718 Self-Assessment Quiz


Are You Gambling Responsibly?

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more, sp718 strongly recommends using our limit-setting tools or taking a break from the platform.

1

Have you ever deposited more than you intended to on a single day to continue playing after a loss?

2

Have you ever felt guilty or ashamed about how much time or money you have spent gambling?

3

Have you ever neglected responsibilities at home, work, or school because you were gambling or thinking about gambling?

4

Have you ever lied to someone close to you about your gambling activity or the money you have spent on it?

5

Have you ever used money set aside for household expenses, rent, or bills to fund a deposit on sp718 or any other gambling platform?

6

Do you feel a compulsive urge to gamble when you are stressed, bored, anxious, or emotionally low?

7

Have you ever tried to stop gambling and found that you could not, despite genuinely wanting to?

If you answered Yes to 3 or more questions, please consider activating sp718's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools. You can also contact our support team at [email protected] for a confidential, judgment-free conversation.

Self-Exclusion — A Serious Tool for Serious Situations


sp718's self-exclusion programme is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available on our platform. It is designed for members who feel that their gambling has become harmful and who need a firm, enforced barrier between themselves and the sp718 platform. Self-exclusion is not a light-touch option — it is a meaningful, binding commitment that sp718 enforces strictly.

What Self-Exclusion Means at sp718

When you activate self-exclusion on sp718, the following actions take effect immediately and remain in force for the minimum exclusion period you selected:

  • Your sp718 account is suspended. You cannot log in, place bets, play casino games, or access your account balance through any device.
  • All pending withdrawal requests are processed and returned to your verified payment method. Remaining balances are not forfeited.
  • sp718 removes your email address and Pakistani mobile number from all promotional and marketing communications lists immediately.
  • Any active bonuses or promotional credits in your account are voided and cannot be reclaimed after the exclusion period ends.
  • sp718 will make reasonable efforts to prevent you from creating a new account during the exclusion period using the same identity and contact details.
  • The exclusion period cannot be shortened or reversed before the minimum period expires, regardless of your request. This is intentional and is there to protect you.

After the minimum self-exclusion period expires, if you wish to return to sp718, you must contact sp718 support directly at [email protected] and complete a mandatory reactivation process, including identity verification. sp718 may also ask you to confirm that you have reflected on your decision and are returning to the platform as an entertainment activity, with clear limits in mind.

Important: Self-exclusion applies only to sp718. If you believe you have a gambling problem, sp718 strongly encourages you to self-exclude from all gambling platforms simultaneously and seek independent professional support. sp718's licensing authority supports broader multi-operator exclusion schemes where available.

Responsible Gaming Is Everyone's Responsibility


At sp718, responsible gaming is not just a compliance checkbox — it is a core part of how we build and operate our platform for Pakistani members. We genuinely believe that a member who gambles safely and within their means is a member who enjoys sp718 for longer, and that is good for everyone. The tools and policies on this page are built around that belief.

sp718 operates under an international gaming licence, and our licensing authority requires us to maintain responsible gaming standards that meet or exceed international best practice. We take that obligation seriously. Our responsible gaming framework is reviewed and updated regularly in line with the latest guidance from our licensing authority and the broader international responsible gaming community.

For Pakistani members, we also recognise that gambling support infrastructure is different from other markets. That is why sp718 focuses on in-platform tools that are available without needing access to third-party services — so that every member, regardless of where they are in Pakistan, can access the controls they need directly from their sp718 account, at any time of day.

Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun


The vast majority of sp718 members enjoy our platform as a form of entertainment alongside cricket, PSL matches, and online slots — without it ever becoming a problem. Here are the habits that responsible players consistently follow:

Set a budget before you start — and stick to it

Decide on a PKR amount you are comfortable spending before you open the sp718 app or site. Treat it the same as any other entertainment expense, like a cinema ticket or a meal out in Lahore.

Never gamble to recover losses

Chasing losses is the single most common pattern in problem gambling. If you have reached your budget for the session, close the app. There will always be another cricket match or PSL game to bet on.

Take regular breaks during sessions

Use sp718's session reminder tool to prompt a short break every hour. Step away, have some chai, and come back fresh. Prolonged uninterrupted sessions are a risk factor for impulsive decisions.

Never gamble when emotional or stressed

Playing sp718 while upset, angry, or under financial pressure significantly increases the risk of poor decisions and overspending. Keep gaming as a leisure activity, not an emotional outlet.

Play Responsibly — Enjoy sp718 on Your Own Terms

Your enjoyment and wellbeing come first at sp718. Set your limits, know your boundaries, and experience cricket betting, live casino, and slots the way they are meant to be — as entertainment.

21+ only. Please gamble responsibly. sp718 is licensed under an international gaming authority.
