Responsible Play on 1Win for Pakistani Bettors

At 1Win Pakistan, developing a culture of responsible gaming is essential to our ethos of service. We endeavour to address the potential problems associated with gambling addiction and provide our players with a safe and controlled gaming environment. Protecting minors from participating in any form of gambling is of paramount importance to us.

Our aim is to create a service that is both enjoyable and functional, providing our customers with an exciting leisure experience. However, we recognise that gambling, whilst entertaining, can be dangerous for some people. We support and implement internationally recognised responsible gambling practices so that our customers can enjoy safe gambling without losing control.

Maintaining Balance

Betting at a bookmaker’s office should be seen as a form of entertainment – a pleasant way to spend your free time, support your favourite team and socialise with like-minded people. However, it is extremely important to treat gambling with caution and care.

It is important for the bettor to keep the following in mind:

  • Gambling should be an enjoyable activity, not a source of income. Always take a rational point of view.
  • If you have suffered a loss, avoid the urge to pursue it immediately. There will always be future opportunities.
  • Play only with the money you can afford to lose. Do not exceed this limit.
  • Keep track of the time and money you spend gambling.

Preventing Gambling Addiction

While most people engage in gambling as a form of entertainment, a small number of people can develop an addiction. Research shows that a minimal percentage of adults experience gambling addiction, but we take this issue seriously. We encourage all participants to remember:

  • Gambling is governed by probability and has no guaranteed winning strategies.
  • The desire to play should come from personal enjoyment, not because of external pressures.
  • Gambling should be seen as entertainment, not as a quick way to get rich or pay off debts.
  • Regularly monitor the amount of money you spend on gambling.
  • Always understand the rules of the games you play.

Distinguishing between a healthy enthusiasm for gambling and an addiction can be difficult. The following signs may indicate a gambling problem:

  • Are you deeply involved in gambling?
  • Are your betting amounts steadily increasing?
  • Are you borrowing money to fund your gambling?
  • Do you often play longer than you planned?
  • Does placing frequent bets negatively affect your reputation?
  • Do you feel irritable or frustrated when you can’t gamble?
  • Do you use gambling as a way to get away from your problems?
  • Do you often try to make immediate restitution?
  • Have you tried unsuccessfully to control your time and spending on the game?
  • Do you hide your gambling addictions from family and friends?

If you answer yes to at least five of these questions, you may be suffering from a gaming addiction.
