Interbet's responsible gaming tools are available directly in your account — no waiting, no paperwork
Responsible gaming at Interbet isn't a section buried in the footer to satisfy a legal requirement. It's a genuine part of how we run the platform, and it influences real decisions — from how we design our account settings to how we train our customer support team.
The reality is that the majority of Interbet's Pakistani players bet sensibly. They set a weekly budget, stick to it, enjoy watching cricket and football with a small stake on the line, and walk away if they're having a bad run. That's exactly how betting should work. But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can become a problem — and when that happens, the consequences for the individual and their family can be serious.
Problem gambling doesn't happen overnight and it doesn't only affect people who bet large amounts. It can develop gradually and affect anyone, regardless of how much they spend. The most important thing is recognising the early warning signs before the problem becomes serious — which is why we've put together this page.
Interbet provides a range of tools that put you in control of your own experience. Using them is always the right decision if you need them, and doing so will never result in any negative treatment of your account.
Your rent, utility bills, grocery money and your children's school fees are not betting money. Decide your gambling budget from what's left after all essential costs are covered.
If you've had a losing session, the worst thing you can do is increase your bets to try to recover. Accept the loss, take a break, and come back another day with a clear head.
Even if you win regularly, treat every win as a bonus, not a salary. No betting strategy guarantees profit over the long run. The moment you start relying on winnings to cover living costs, something has gone wrong.
In the heat of a live match or a casino session, your judgement about how much to stake is not at its best. Set your deposit and loss limits when you're calm and stick to them regardless of what happens during play.
Betting for extended periods without a break — especially in the casino — is one of the fastest ways to lose perspective on how much you're spending. Interbet's session timers exist for exactly this reason.
Six built-in tools available to every Interbet player — accessible directly from your account settings at any time
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your Interbet account per day, per week or per month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are possible until the period resets. Limit decreases take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before activation — so impulse decisions don't undo your planning.
Set a ceiling on how much you can lose over a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. When your net losses reach the limit you've set, Interbet will prevent further betting until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for players who want to cap their downside rather than just their deposits.
Set a maximum time you can spend in a single betting or casino session. When the timer expires, Interbet displays a clear notification reminding you of your limit. You can choose to continue or log out. For casino players in particular, session limits are a valuable way to avoid losing track of time during play.
Take a short break from Interbet without permanently closing your account. A cool-off period can be set for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a cool-off, you cannot log in, place bets, or access the casino. Your account and balance remain intact and the pause lifts automatically when the period ends.
If you feel you need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion closes your access to Interbet immediately. Options include 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion takes effect the moment you activate it — there is no waiting period. Any balance in your account at the time of exclusion will be withdrawn to your registered payment method.
Activate regular pop-up reminders that appear during your session showing how long you've been playing and your current session balance — winnings and losses combined. These reminders are designed to give you accurate, real-time context during casino play so that the experience doesn't distort your sense of how much time has passed or how much has been spent.
Using any of these tools at Interbet will never affect your account standing, bonus eligibility or ability to withdraw a legitimate balance. These tools exist for your benefit and are always the right choice if you feel you need them. Interbet's support team is available 24/7 if you need help activating any of these features.
Every Interbet account includes responsible gaming controls — set your limits before you start playing
Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. It tends to develop gradually, and the people affected are often the last to recognise it. The following are common warning signs. Recognising them early — in yourself or in someone you know — is the most important step.
Spending more money on betting than you originally planned, regularly and without a deliberate decision to increase your budget
Betting with money meant for household expenses, rent, utility bills or the children's fees
Chasing losses — placing bigger bets than usual in an attempt to recover what you've lost in a previous session
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you're not able to bet, or when you've decided to stop
Lying to family members about how much time or money you spend on gambling
Borrowing money from friends, family or through loans specifically to fund gambling
Gambling becoming the primary way you deal with stress, boredom, loneliness or emotional difficulty
Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or repeatedly setting limits and then breaking them
Neglecting work, family time, social commitments or personal health because of time spent gambling
Feeling guilty or ashamed after gambling sessions but returning to the platform anyway
Answer these questions honestly. This isn't a diagnostic tool — it's a simple way to check in with yourself. No results are stored or shared with anyone.
Activating self-exclusion takes less than two minutes. Here's the step-by-step process:
Access your account via interbet.ws as normal. You don't need to contact support first — the tool is available directly in your account settings.
Click your profile icon in the top right of the screen, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
You'll find a dedicated "Responsible Gaming" tab in your settings. All limit tools and the self-exclusion option are here.
Choose from 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent. Read the confirmation notice so you're clear on what the exclusion covers.
Once confirmed, your exclusion takes effect immediately. You will be logged out and access to your account is disabled for the chosen period. Any balance will be returned to your registered payment method.
If you'd prefer to speak with someone before self-excluding, Interbet's 24/7 live chat support team can guide you through the process and answer any questions. All such conversations are handled confidentially.
A lot of misunderstanding around problem gambling makes it harder for people to seek help. Here are some of the most common myths — and the reality:
Reality: Problem gambling is defined by the impact it has on your life and your ability to control your behaviour — not by the absolute amount you spend. Someone betting Rs 500 a week compulsively can have a serious gambling problem just as much as someone spending Rs 500,000.
Reality: Problem gambling involves changes in how the brain processes reward and risk. It is not simply a matter of willpower — it is a recognised behavioural condition that responds to the same kind of support and treatment as other addictive behaviours.
Reality: A large win often makes the problem worse — it reinforces the belief that gambling is a reliable source of income and can accelerate the cycle of chasing losses. Recovery from problem gambling requires addressing the behaviour, not the balance sheet.
Reality: The earlier you recognise and address a gambling problem, the easier it is to resolve. You do not have to reach rock bottom. If you've noticed warning signs — even mild ones — acting now is far better than waiting.
Reality: Using deposit limits, session timers and self-exclusion is no different from using a budget for any other entertainment expense. It is sensible financial management. The most consistent long-term bettors are usually those who set and respect their limits from day one.
Reality: Problem gambling affects people of all genders. While gambling was historically more common among men, the gap has narrowed significantly as online platforms have become accessible to everyone via smartphone.
Betting at Interbet is about enhancing your enjoyment of sport — not replacing other parts of your life
If someone you care about may have a gambling problem — here's what you can do
Talking to someone about their gambling is difficult — it often triggers defensiveness. Choose a calm moment, focus on how their behaviour is affecting you and your family rather than attacking them personally, and listen as much as you talk. Avoid ultimatums in the first conversation.
If someone in your household has a gambling problem, take practical steps to protect shared finances. Separate accounts, different payment methods for household expenses, and removing shared access to savings can all limit the financial damage while the person is working through their problem.
If you know the account holder's details and are acting with their knowledge and consent, you can contact Interbet's support team to request that their account be put under restriction or self-exclusion. Our team handles these requests sensitively and without judgement.
If gambling is causing severe financial hardship or emotional distress in your household — please contact Interbet's support team at support@interbet.ws or via 24/7 live chat. We take these situations seriously and our team can assist with immediate account restriction, self-exclusion and guidance on next steps. Your enquiry will be treated with complete confidentiality.
Interbet is strictly an 18+ platform and operates age verification processes to prevent underage access. But digital age verification is one layer of protection — the most reliable protection comes from within the home.
If you have a family member under 18 in your household, the following simple steps will significantly reduce the risk of them accessing gambling sites or apps:
Set your deposit limits before your first bet, use the tools Interbet provides, and keep gambling the entertainment it's meant to be. If you ever need support, our team is here around the clock — in Urdu and English.
18+ only. Gambling should be entertainment. If it stops being that, help is available.
