Gaming on Star92 is meant to be enjoyable — a bit of extra excitement watching cricket, a fun session in the lobby, a spin during downtime. Keeping it that way takes a bit of awareness. This page gives you the tools and information to do exactly that.
Most people who play on Star92 are here for the same reason — it's fun. Whether you're following a PSL match and placing a few bets, trying your luck on slots between meetings, or playing a session of live casino on a Friday evening, the experience is supposed to add a little enjoyment to your day, not stress.
The problem comes when gaming stops being something you do for fun and starts becoming something you feel you need to do. That line can be subtle. It doesn't always announce itself clearly, and in Pakistan — where financial pressure from family, work and daily expenses is real — the temptation to chase a loss or bet more than planned can be hard to resist in the moment.
Star92 takes this seriously. We've built practical tools into the platform that help you stay within limits you set yourself, and we've put together this page to give you honest, straightforward guidance — not corporate messaging — on playing responsibly.
The golden rule: Never use gaming as a way to recover money you've lost. Every session should be treated as standalone entertainment with a fixed budget. Once that budget is spent, the session is over.
Honest answers to these questions can help you understand where you stand with your gaming habits right now.
Have you ever deposited more PKR than you originally planned in a single session?
Have you found yourself thinking about gaming when you're busy with work, family or other responsibilities?
Have you tried to win back money you lost by playing more in the same session?
Have you ever hidden your gaming activity or spending from family members?
Do you feel anxious, restless or irritable when you are not able to play?
Have you used money set aside for household expenses, bills or savings on gaming?
If you answered yes to two or more of these, it may be worth taking a break and using the tools described below. Reach out to our support team — they can help you set up limits or a cooling-off period without any judgement.
These tools are built into the platform and available to every registered player at no cost. Use them proactively — you don't have to wait until there's a problem.
Set a maximum PKR deposit amount per day, week or month. Once you reach your limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately but increases take 48 hours to apply — giving you time to reconsider.
Choose a session duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours — and the platform will send you a notification when you reach that time. It's easy to lose track when you're watching a match or in the middle of a game. This keeps you aware without forcing anything.
Take a short break from the platform — 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days — without permanently closing your account. During a cooling-off period your account is locked for gaming and deposits. Contact support to activate one at any time.
If you feel you need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for a period you choose — from 6 months up to permanent closure. During self-exclusion you cannot log in, deposit or play. Contact our support team to set this up.
Your account dashboard shows a full history of deposits, withdrawals, bet amounts and session durations. Reviewing this regularly is one of the simplest ways to stay aware of how much time and money you're actually spending on gaming each month.
Our support team is available 24/7 via live chat. If you want to set up a limit, take a break or just talk through a concern about your gaming habits, contact us directly. There's no pressure and no awkward questions — just practical help.
One of the most effective responsible gaming habits is deciding how much you're comfortable spending before you open the app — not during a session when emotions and excitement can cloud your judgement. Think of your gaming budget the same way you think about money spent on entertainment: it's what you're willing to spend for the enjoyment, with no expectation of getting it back.
A simple monthly budget framework works well for most players. Figure out what you earn, subtract all your fixed expenses — rent, food, transport, bills, family contributions — and then look at what's left for discretionary spending. Your gaming budget should come out of that discretionary portion, and it should be an amount you're genuinely comfortable losing entirely.
Total monthly income minus all fixed expenses (rent, utilities, groceries, transport, debt payments, family obligations). What remains is truly discretionary.
From your discretionary amount, decide what you want to spend across all entertainment — dining out, streaming, gaming, outings. Gaming should be one slice, not all of it.
Use the deposit limit tool to enforce your decided amount. Once you've deposited your budgeted PKR for the month, the platform won't let you deposit more until the period resets.
Check your account activity at the end of each month. If your actual spending consistently matches or stays below your planned budget, you're managing well. If it's regularly higher, revisit your limit.
| Category | Example Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Income | PKR 80,000 | After-tax salary or business income |
| Rent / Housing | PKR 25,000 | Fixed obligation |
| Groceries & Food | PKR 15,000 | Essential monthly expense |
| Transport | PKR 6,000 | Fuel, public transport |
| Bills & Utilities | PKR 5,000 | Electricity, internet, mobile |
| Family & Other Obligations | PKR 10,000 | Fixed family contributions |
| Savings | PKR 8,000 | Emergency fund, goals |
| Discretionary Total | PKR 11,000 | Available for all entertainment |
| Gaming Budget | PKR 2,000–3,000 | One slice of discretionary spend |
This is an illustrative example only. Your actual numbers will differ. The principle — gaming money comes from discretionary funds only — stays the same regardless of income level.
Useful habit: Deposit your gaming budget at the start of the month and set a monthly deposit limit to match it exactly. Then forget about the balance until your next session. This separates gaming money from day-to-day funds mentally and practically.
Problem gaming rarely develops overnight. It builds gradually, and the signs can be easy to rationalise or dismiss — especially when things feel like they're going well. Being honest with yourself about these patterns is the first step.
The tools below are available to every Star92 player. You don't need to be in crisis to use them — many players set deposit limits as a matter of habit from day one. Here's how to access each one.
Log into your Star92 account, go to Account Settings, and select Deposit Limits. Choose daily, weekly or monthly, enter your PKR amount and confirm. The limit is active immediately. Reductions apply instantly; increases have a 48-hour review period.
In Account Settings under Gaming Controls, select Session Reminders. Set your preferred alert time. When your session reaches that duration, you'll receive a notification. The platform does not force you to stop — the reminder is there to keep you aware and in control.
Contact the Star92 support team via live chat and request a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. The team will apply this to your account immediately. You will not be able to log in, deposit or place bets during this time.
Contact support and request self-exclusion. Choose a duration: 6 months, 1 year or permanent. Your account will be fully locked. Any balance in your account at the time of exclusion will be returned to your JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank account.
