Responsible Gaming

spree | Play Smart. Stay in Control.

Betting on cricket, PSL, or slot games should always be fun — not a source of stress or financial pressure. Spree provides a full set of tools to help you manage your play, keep track of your spending in PKR, and step back when you need to. This page explains everything you need to know.

Gaming That Stays Enjoyable

At Spree, we believe that sports betting and casino gaming are forms of entertainment — full stop. Whether you're following Pakistan's T20 campaign, placing a bet on a PSL fixture, or spinning the reels on a slot game, the experience should stay enjoyable and within limits you've set for yourself.

We know that for a small number of people, gambling can shift from entertainment into something more difficult to manage. That's why we've built responsible gaming tools directly into the platform — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of how Spree operates. These tools are available to every player, at every tier, from the moment they register.

This page covers the tools available, how to use them, and how to recognise if gaming is starting to affect you or someone around you. There's no judgement here — just practical guidance.

18+ strictly. Spree is for adults only. Age verification is mandatory for all accounts. If you're under 18, please do not register or use the platform.

Responsible Gaming Features on Spree

Every tool below is built into your account. No complicated processes — just open your settings and apply the limits that work for you.

Deposit Limits

Cap how much PKR you deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit is instant; increasing one requires a cooling-off period before it kicks in.

Session Time Reminders

Set a reminder that pops up after 30, 60, or 90 minutes of continuous play. The reminder shows how long you've been active and what your net position is, so you can make an informed decision about whether to continue.

Cool-Off Periods

Take a short break from the platform — 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days — without fully closing your account. During a cool-off period, you won't be able to log in or place bets, and all marketing is paused.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanently. Your account will be suspended, bonuses cancelled, and you'll be removed from all marketing lists immediately.

Activity Statements

Access a full statement of your deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and net results over any date range. Reviewing your actual numbers — rather than relying on memory — is one of the most effective ways to keep spending in perspective.

Reality Checks

Enable regular on-screen pop-ups during gaming sessions that display your current session time and net win/loss position. Reality checks are a simple but effective nudge to pause and think before continuing.

How to Apply Responsible Gaming Tools

Setting up limits takes less than two minutes. Here's how to do it once you're logged in to your Spree account.

1
Log In to Spree

Access your account via the website or Spree app. All responsible gaming settings are in the same place regardless of device.

2
Go to Account Settings

Tap your profile icon and select "Responsible Gaming" from the settings menu. All available tools are listed on one screen.

3
Choose Your Tool

Select deposit limits, cool-off, self-exclusion, session reminders, or reality checks. You can apply more than one at the same time.

4
Confirm & Save

Your chosen limits take effect immediately. You'll receive a confirmation on screen and a summary sent to your registered email address.

When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Most people who bet on cricket or play slot games do so for entertainment and stay well within budgets they're comfortable with. But for some, the balance can shift. Recognising the early signs — in yourself or someone close to you — is the first step towards getting things back on track.

The following are common indicators that gaming may be becoming a concern. There's no specific number of boxes you need to tick — if any of these feel familiar, it's worth taking a step back and using the tools on this page.

Be honest with yourself. It's easy to rationalise problem behaviour when you're in the middle of it. The signs below are not meant to alarm — they're meant to help you check in with yourself regularly.

Chasing losses: Continuing to bet or play in order to win back money you've already lost, rather than stopping at a planned point.

Betting beyond your budget: Spending more PKR on betting or gaming than you planned, or using money meant for everyday expenses like bills or food.

Hiding your activity: Feeling the need to keep your betting or gaming habits secret from family or friends.

Gaming to escape: Using betting or gaming as a way to deal with stress, anxiety, boredom, or other problems rather than as entertainment.

Loss of control over time: Spending more time on the platform than you intended, or finding it hard to stop even when you planned to.

Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans, using credit, or borrowing from others specifically to fund betting or gaming activity.

Neglecting other responsibilities: Gaming activity starting to affect work, studies, family time, or relationships.

Healthy Betting Habits to Build

These habits don't restrict your enjoyment — they protect it. Players who set clear boundaries tend to have a better experience on the platform over the long run.

Set a Budget Before You Start

Decide upfront how much PKR you're comfortable spending in a session or over a week. Treat that amount like a ticket price for entertainment — money spent on fun, not an investment you expect to get back. Use Spree's deposit limit tools to make it automatic.

Time Your Sessions

Play for a set amount of time rather than until you've won or lost a specific amount. Setting a session timer — whether through the Spree reminder feature or just a phone alarm — keeps gaming from stretching further than you planned.

Never Chase Losses

If you've hit your planned loss limit for a session, stop. Chasing losses is one of the most common ways a controlled gambling session turns into a problematic one. Log out, take a break, and come back another time if you choose to.

Don't Play Under the Influence

Avoid making betting decisions when you're tired, emotionally stressed, or have been drinking. Clouded judgement leads to impulsive bets that go beyond your normal boundaries. The PSL can wait — there's always another match.

Keep It Social, Not Secret

Betting on cricket or gaming should be something you can talk about openly. If you find yourself hiding your activity from family or friends, that's usually a signal worth paying attention to.

Review Your Activity Regularly

Use the activity statement in your Spree account once a week or once a month. Seeing the actual numbers — total deposited, total wagered, net result — gives you an honest picture that memory alone doesn't always provide.

A Quick Check-In

Answer these questions honestly. They're not a diagnostic — just a useful prompt to check in with yourself.

1. In the past month, have you spent more on betting or gaming than you originally planned?
Yes, more than once
Once or twice
No, I stuck to my budget
2. Have you ever continued betting after losing in order to try to win the money back?
Yes, regularly
Occasionally
No, I stop when I planned to
3. Has gaming ever caused stress, arguments, or financial pressure in your personal life?
Yes, it has been an issue
Minor tension occasionally
No, no impact outside gaming
If any of your answers leaned towards "Yes" — consider setting a deposit limit or taking a cool-off period through your account settings. There's no shame in using the tools that are there for exactly this reason.

Keeping Minors Safe

Spree is strictly an 18+ platform. We enforce age verification during registration and periodically throughout account use. No one under 18 should be using the platform, and we take that seriously.

That said, we also recognise that parents and guardians want extra peace of mind at the device level. Here are some practical steps you can take to prevent underage access to online gaming and betting platforms on shared or family devices.

If you suspect a minor has accessed Spree, contact our support team immediately at [email protected] and we will close the account and delete associated data without delay.
Use Device Parental Controls

Both Android and iOS offer built-in parental control features that can block access to specific apps or websites. Enable these on any shared device in your household.

Keep Your Login Details Private

Never share your Spree username or password with anyone, including family members. Enable screen lock and biometric authentication on your phone to prevent unauthorised access.

Content Filtering Software

Consider installing third-party content filtering tools such as Net Nanny or Circle on your home network or family devices to restrict access to gambling and betting websites for younger users.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Quick answers to the questions we get most often about responsible gaming tools and self-exclusion on Spree.

No. This is by design. Decreasing a deposit limit takes effect immediately so that it can't be bypassed in the moment. Increasing a limit, however, requires a mandatory cooling-off period — typically 48 to 72 hours — before the higher limit becomes active. This gives you time to reconsider before a change takes effect.

Any withdrawable PKR balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be processed back to your registered payment method — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, or bank account. Any active bonuses or bonus funds will be forfeited as per the Terms and Conditions. Our support team can walk you through the process.

No, they're different tools. A cool-off period is a temporary pause — up to 30 days — after which your account automatically becomes accessible again. Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment (minimum 3 months, up to permanent) and requires a formal request to reopen the account once the exclusion period ends. If you're unsure which to use, start with a cool-off period.

No. When a self-exclusion is applied, your account is immediately removed from all marketing lists. You will not receive promotional SMS, emails, or push notifications during the exclusion period. If you receive any marketing communication after your exclusion has been confirmed, contact support immediately so we can investigate and correct it.

Only the account holder can set limits, as identity verification is required. However, if a family member or friend is concerned about someone's gaming behaviour and that person is willing to accept help, they can contact our support team together and we'll guide them through the self-exclusion process or help set up appropriate limits on the account.

Yes. All responsible gaming features — deposit limits, session reminders, cool-off periods, self-exclusion, reality checks, and activity statements — are fully available on the Spree mobile app. Settings are synced across the website and app, so a limit set on one applies to both.
