18+ Only — Play Responsibly

Responsible Gaming at qr789 — Keeping Play Fun & in Control

qr789 is built for entertainment. Our responsible gaming programme gives every Pakistani player the tools, information, and support they need to keep gaming enjoyable and well within their personal limits.

Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment

Not a source of income, not a way to recover losses — just fun

At qr789, we take responsible gaming seriously because we understand the reality of online gambling in Pakistan. Players come to the platform for entertainment — a bit of cricket betting during a PSL match, a few spins on a slot game after work, a live baccarat session on the weekend. That is exactly what qr789 is designed for.

But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can become a problem. The line between entertainment and harmful behaviour is not always obvious when you are in the middle of it. That is why qr789 has built a full set of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform — tools that you can use any time, from your account settings, without needing to contact support or justify yourself to anyone.

The most important thing to understand is this: there is no shame in using these tools. Setting a deposit limit or taking a week off does not mean anything is wrong. It just means you are gaming the smart way — on your own terms, within limits that you control. That is what responsible gaming actually looks like at qr789.

If you ever feel that your gaming is becoming something you cannot control, or that it is affecting your relationships, your finances, or your mental wellbeing, please use the self-exclusion tool immediately and reach out to an external support organisation. The contacts are listed at the bottom of this page.

18+ Strictly Enforced: qr789 is an adults-only platform. Registration, deposit, and gameplay are all restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Age verification is carried out during the KYC process. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful — qr789 will permanently close any account found to belong to a person under 18, and all associated funds will be forfeited.
Gambling IS entertainment when:
  • You have set a budget before you start and stick to it
  • Losing your stake does not ruin your mood or your week
  • You stop when the session is over, not when the money runs out
  • You never chase losses by depositing again immediately
  • Your family, work, and finances come before the game, always
Gambling BECOMES a problem when:
  • You are gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
  • You feel anxious, irritable, or depressed when not playing
  • You keep returning to win back what you have lost
  • You are hiding your gambling from family or friends
  • You have borrowed money to fund your gambling activity

qr789 Responsible Gaming Tools

All available from your account settings — no support ticket required

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month. Once the limit is reached, further deposits will be blocked until the period resets. Reductions take effect immediately; increases have a 24-hour cooling-off period before activation.

Loss Limits

Set the maximum net loss you are comfortable with per day, week, or month. When your net loss for the period reaches the limit you have set, further gaming activity will be suspended until the period resets.

Wager Limits

Cap the maximum stake on any single bet or spin. This prevents impulse decisions to increase stakes during a losing run — a common pattern that can accelerate problem gambling behaviour.

Session Time Reminders

Set a duration after which qr789 will display an on-screen reminder of how long you have been playing. A simple prompt to step away is often all it takes to keep a gaming session in perspective.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a mandatory break from qr789 for a defined period — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom duration. During this period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets or wagers on the platform.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently or temporarily close your qr789 account and block all access. Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available and is recommended if you feel you have lost control. It cannot be reversed during the exclusion period — that is by design.

How to Set Your Limits on qr789

Four steps from login to limit — takes under two minutes

1
Log in to Your qr789 Account

Access qr789.org on your mobile or browser and sign in to your registered account using your mobile number and password.

2
Open Account Settings

Tap or click your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu that appears.

3
Navigate to Responsible Gaming

Find the "Responsible Gaming" tab within your account settings. All self-management tools are grouped together in this single section for easy access.

4
Set Your Preferred Limits

Select the tool you want, enter your preferred limit value, and confirm. Deposit and loss limit reductions are immediate. Increases require a 24-hour waiting period before they activate — giving you time to reconsider.

Self-Exclusion — The Strongest Protection

Use this when you need a serious, enforced break

Self-exclusion on qr789 is not a soft pause — it is a hard stop. When you activate self-exclusion, the following happens immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period:

  • Your account is locked and cannot be accessed
  • All pending deposits are returned to your payment method
  • Your withdrawable balance is processed and returned to you
  • Any active bonuses are forfeited
  • qr789 will not contact you with promotional material during exclusion
  • You cannot create a new qr789 account while excluded

Self-exclusion can be set for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Re-activation after the exclusion period requires a deliberate request to qr789 support, a mandatory 7-day waiting period, and in some cases a responsible gaming assessment.

If you need to self-exclude right now: Log in to your account, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion, and follow the steps. If you cannot access your account, contact qr789 support via live chat immediately — plain text contact: [email protected]

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Honest self-assessment is the first step

Chasing Losses Depositing again immediately after a losing session to try and win your money back — this is one of the clearest indicators of a gambling problem developing.
Hiding from Family Concealing how much time or money you are spending on qr789 from your spouse, parents, or other family members in Karachi, Lahore, or wherever you are based.
Mood Changes Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when you are not playing, or experiencing a strong urge to gamble as a way to manage stress or difficult emotions.
Gambling Beyond Budget Spending more than you planned, using money set aside for bills, rent, or family expenses, or borrowing money specifically to gamble.
Loss of Time Awareness Gaming for much longer than intended — what was supposed to be a 30-minute session stretching into hours without realising it.

Quick Self-Check

Answer honestly — nobody else sees this

1. In the past month, have you gambled with money you needed for something else?

2. Have you tried to win back money you lost by gambling more?

3. Has gambling caused problems with your family or finances?
If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, we strongly recommend activating a cooling-off period or self-exclusion immediately and reviewing the external support resources below.
