Cricket betting and gaming on Spribe is meant to be enjoyable. The moment it stops feeling that way, something is wrong. This page covers the tools available to every player, the warning signs to watch for and how to get help – all written for Pakistani players in plain language.
Use the self-exclusion tool in your account settings – it takes effect immediately. Alternatively, contact Spribe support at support@spribe.app and ask for an emergency account lock. You do not need to justify it, and it will not be refused.
The phrase "responsible gaming" gets thrown around a lot by betting platforms – often as a legal footnote at the bottom of a page that nobody reads. At Spribe, we want to be direct about what it means and why it matters to us specifically as a platform built for Pakistani players.
Responsible gaming means that cricket betting, Aviator, slots and any other game on Spribe should be a form of entertainment. You might win sometimes. You will lose sometimes. That is the nature of betting. The problem starts when losing stops being an acceptable outcome – when the game becomes something you feel compelled to play to recover money, to escape stress, or because you cannot stop even when you want to. That is where entertainment ends and harm begins.
"Gambling should feel like choosing to watch a match, not like something you have to do. The moment that changes, the tools on this page are here for you."
– Spribe Responsible Gaming TeamPakistan has a growing online gaming culture, driven largely by cricket. Spribe is part of that culture. We take that responsibility seriously. The platform's minimum bet is Rs 50 because we believe lower stakes reduce the pressure that drives unhealthy behaviour. Our VIP programme rewards loyalty – but it is not designed to pressure anyone into depositing more than they are comfortable with. Our deposit limit and self-exclusion tools are placed prominently in account settings, not hidden in a terms document.
The sections below cover the tools available to every Spribe user, the signs that gaming may be becoming a problem, and a practical checklist you can use to check your own habits honestly. If anything on this page resonates with you, please use the tools or contact us.
Most people who bet on cricket or play Aviator do so without any problem. They set a budget, they bet within it, and they treat wins as a bonus rather than an expectation. Problem gambling is different – it is a pattern of behaviour where the negative consequences of gambling (financial, emotional, social) are clear but the person continues anyway, or finds it genuinely difficult to stop.
Problem gambling is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness. It is a recognised behavioural pattern that can develop gradually, often without the person realising it is happening. The warning signs are real and well-documented. Spribe's responsible gaming tools exist precisely because we understand this.
Every tool below is available directly in your account settings with no waiting period and no need to call anyone. Reductions in limits take effect immediately.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your Spribe account. Once set, you cannot deposit more than the limit even if you try.
Set a timer that sends you an on-screen alert when you have been active on the platform for the duration you specify. Helps you keep gaming time in check.
Temporarily lock your account for 1, 7, 14 or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, deposit or place any bets. The account resumes automatically after the period ends.
Permanently close your account for a minimum of 6 months. Spribe will not accept a re-registration request during the exclusion period regardless of the reason given.
These signs do not automatically mean someone has a gambling problem – but they do mean it is worth pausing and thinking honestly about your habits. The more of these that feel familiar, the more seriously you should consider using the tools above or speaking to someone.
Answer these questions honestly. Nobody else will see your answers.
If most of your answers leaned toward patterns like chasing losses, hiding activity or losing control over the amount you deposit, please consider using the cooling-off period or self-exclusion tool. Speaking with someone you trust about your gambling habits is also genuinely helpful.
If your answers reflected healthy habits – planned deposits, accepted losses, no impact on family or work – continue as you are. Revisit this check from time to time, especially during high-intensity cricket seasons like PSL when betting activity tends to increase.
Setting a deposit limit or activating a cooling-off period takes under a minute. Here is exactly how to do it.
Open the Spribe platform and sign in with your registered mobile number and password.
Tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Within Account Settings, locate the Responsible Gaming section. All four tools – deposit limits, session timers, cooling-off and self-exclusion – are listed here.
Enter your desired daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit in PKR, or select your cooling-off duration. Confirm the change. Reductions take effect immediately.
The limit is active from the moment you confirm it. You will receive a confirmation message on your registered number. If you ever want to increase a limit, a 24-hour cooling period applies automatically.
Problem gambling affects more than the individual player – it affects families. If someone in your household has a gambling problem, here are some practical steps:
Spribe's support team is available 24/7 and can assist family members as well as account holders when there is a welfare concern.
Spribe is strictly an 18+ platform. We use a combination of date-of-birth checks at registration and CNIC-based identity verification before first withdrawal to screen out underage users.
If you share a device with younger family members – particularly teenagers who may be familiar with mobile apps – we recommend the following:
If you suspect a minor has accessed the Spribe platform, contact support immediately. Any account confirmed to belong to a person under 18 will be closed and all deposits returned.
