Betting and casino games are meant to be enjoyable. 1com provides practical tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion — so you can keep it that way. This page explains how to use them and what to watch out for.
Important reminder: All betting and casino activity on 1com is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. If you are under 18, please do not register or attempt to use this platform.
Responsible gaming means treating betting and casino play as entertainment — the same way you would approach going to a match or watching PSL. You set a budget for it, you enjoy it while it lasts, and you stop when the budget runs out. It means you are in control of your gaming, not the other way around.
At 1com, we take this seriously. The platform is built for Pakistani adults who want to enjoy sports betting — cricket, T20, PSL, football, and Esports — or try their luck in the live casino and slots. It is entertainment. The moment it starts to feel like something else — a way to make money, a way to escape stress, or something you feel you cannot stop — that is the moment to step back and use the tools available to you.
The tools on this page are free, immediate, and do not require any special approval. They are there to support you. Using them is not a sign of weakness — it is the sensible thing to do.
Key principle: Never bet with money you cannot afford to lose. Do not chase losses. No bet or game session can be guaranteed to go in your favour — that is the nature of betting, and it applies to everyone, always.
If any of the following apply to you right now, it may be worth taking a break or activating a limit.
This is not a diagnostic tool — it is just a prompt to check in with yourself. If several of these resonate, consider setting a limit or taking a break using the tools below.
All of these tools are available in your 1com account settings. No application required — just log in and set them up.
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month in PKR. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increases require a review period before they apply.
Cap the total amount you can lose across all platform activity — sportsbook, live casino, game lobby — within a set daily, weekly, or monthly period. When the limit is hit, your account is automatically blocked from further play until the period ends.
Set a session duration limit and receive a notification when you have been playing for that amount of time. The reminder appears on screen during your session. You decide whether to continue or close the session — but at least you know how long you have been at it.
If you feel like you need a short break without permanently closing your account, a cool-off period lets you suspend access for a defined duration — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your account cannot be accessed and marketing is paused.
Self-exclusion is a longer-term option. You can exclude yourself from the 1com platform for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During exclusion, your account is closed, you will not receive any bonus offers or marketing, and the account cannot be reopened until the exclusion period ends.
If you are concerned about your gaming activity and want to speak to someone directly, the 1com support team is available via live chat. You can request account restrictions, discuss self-exclusion, or simply talk through your options — without judgement.
Setting limits takes under a minute. Here is how to do it after you log in:
Head to login and access your account using your registered credentials.
Click on your profile or account icon — usually in the top right corner — and navigate to the Settings or Responsible Gaming section.
Select from deposit limit, loss limit, session reminder, cool-off, or self-exclusion. Each has its own configuration panel.
For PKR deposit or loss limits, enter the amount. For time-based options, select the duration. Confirm your selection.
Limit reductions and self-exclusion are active right away. Limit increases go through a review period before they take effect.
Responsible gaming starts with awareness. These are some patterns worth paying attention to in your own behaviour:
If several of the above describe your situation: Please use the self-exclusion tool or contact the 1com support team directly. These tools exist specifically for this situation and can be activated immediately.
A quick overview of what each tool controls and how it works when it kicks in.
Max PKR in per period — daily, weekly, or monthly.
Max PKR lost before account auto-pauses for the period.
On-screen alert when your session hits your chosen duration.
Short break — 24hrs to 30 days. Account resumes after the break.
Minimum 6 months or permanent. Account closed immediately.
Speak with the support team directly about any gaming concern.
These are not rules — they are habits that players who enjoy betting long-term tend to follow naturally.
Set a budget before you start, and stick to it. Decide how much PKR you are comfortable losing before you open the platform. That amount — whether it is Rs 500, Rs 2,000, or whatever fits your situation — is your entertainment budget for that session. Treat it the same way you would treat a cinema ticket or a meal out. Once it is gone, the session is over.
Use your deposit limit to enforce your budget. The deposit limit tool on 1com is exactly the right place to put this decision. Set a daily or weekly PKR deposit limit that matches your entertainment budget. That way, even on a bad session, you cannot accidentally spend more than you intended.
Never chase losses. This is the most important single rule in betting. If you have had a bad session on the cricket sportsbook or in the live casino and you are down, the urge to place one more bet to get it back is very human — but it almost always makes things worse. A loss is a loss. Close the session, come back another time.
Time matters as much as money. Long sessions can cloud your judgement. Use the session reminder to get an alert when you have been playing for an hour or two. Getting up, having some chai, and stepping away for a bit often puts things in perspective. You do not have to be losing money for a break to be the right call.
Betting is not a reliable income source. Some people have a good week on PSL betting or win on a slot jackpot and start to think of it as regular income. It is not. The long-run mathematical edge is always in the house's favour — that is how betting platforms stay operational. Enjoy the wins when they happen, but do not factor them into your household budget or financial plans.
If it stops being fun, stop. That might sound obvious, but it is easy to lose sight of it mid-session. If you are frustrated, anxious, or angry — if you are playing to feel better about something unrelated to the game — those are clear signals that it is time to log out. Gaming in that state rarely ends well, and it is precisely the situation where the cool-off or self-exclusion tools are most useful.
