Our Commitment

Gaming Should Always Stay Fun

At air123, we believe that playing slots, betting on cricket or enjoying a live casino game should be something you look forward to — not something that stresses you out. For the large majority of players, online gaming is exactly that: a fun way to spend a bit of free time, watch a PSL match with a bet on, or try your luck on a jackpot slot.

But we also know that for a small number of players, gaming can stop being enjoyable and start causing real problems — financial pressure, time lost, strained relationships. That is why responsible gaming is not just a page on the website for us. It is a part of how air123 is built, with practical tools that every registered player can use for free, at any time, directly from their account settings.

This page covers four things: the self-management tools available to you, how to recognise when gaming habits have shifted from healthy to problematic, a simple set of guidelines for keeping play safe, and what to do if you or someone you know needs to take a break.

One rule above all: Never play with money you cannot comfortably afford to lose. If you would not spend that PKR amount on an evening out without thinking twice, do not put it into your gaming balance.

Healthy Gaming — A Quick Checklist

  • You set a PKR budget before you start and stick to it.
  • You play for fun, not to recover a previous loss.
  • You take regular breaks and do not play for hours without stopping.
  • Gaming does not affect your sleep, work or family time.
  • You only use funds from your own JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank account.
  • You know when the session is over and can stop without difficulty.
  • Winning is a bonus — you would have enjoyed the session either way.
  • You are playing as an adult aged 18 or above.

Responsible Gaming Tools on air123

All of these tools are available inside your air123 account settings at no cost. They are there for every player to use freely — not just for people with a problem, but for anyone who wants a little extra structure around their gaming.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum PKR deposit amount on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. You can lower a limit at any time — it takes effect immediately. Raising a limit is subject to a minimum 24-hour waiting period so you have time to reconsider.

Session Time Reminders

Set a reminder to appear after a defined period of continuous play — 30 minutes, 1 hour or a custom duration. When the reminder appears, you can choose to continue or end the session. It is a simple nudge that helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing without making it feel forced.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming without closing your account permanently. A cooling-off period can be set for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. Promotional messages are also paused for the duration.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that you need a longer or more serious break, self-exclusion allows you to restrict access to your account for an extended period — from 3 months up to permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully locked and cannot be reopened before the chosen period ends. Contact support via live chat to activate this.

Loss Limits

Set a cap on the total amount you are comfortable losing over a given period. Once the loss limit is hit, betting and slots play is paused for that period. This is one of the most practical tools for players who want to enjoy the platform without the risk of a single bad session getting out of hand.

Reality Check Pop-Ups

Enable periodic on-screen summaries that show you how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session. These pop-ups appear at intervals you choose and give you a clear picture of where you stand — useful for staying grounded when you are caught up in a good run or chasing a loss.

Know the Signs

Green, Amber or Red — Where Are You?

Most gaming habits fall somewhere on a spectrum. Being honest with yourself about where you sit is the single most important step in responsible gaming.

Green — All Good
  • You play within a set budget every time.
  • Losing a session does not ruin your mood.
  • You do not think about gaming when doing other things.
  • Your family and friends have no concerns about your gaming.
  • You have never borrowed PKR to fund your balance.
  • You stop when your session budget runs out.
Amber — Take Notice
  • You sometimes exceed your planned session budget.
  • You have gone back to the platform to try to recover a loss.
  • Gaming is occasionally taking time away from work or family.
  • You feel mild guilt or anxiety after a losing session.
  • You have increased deposit amounts more than once recently.
  • You think about upcoming gaming during the day.
Red — Time to Stop
  • You have borrowed money or used bill funds to deposit.
  • Gaming is causing fights at home or problems at work.
  • You are unable to stop even when you want to.
  • You hide your gaming activity from people close to you.
  • You feel desperate or out of control after losses.
  • Gaming is no longer fun — it feels compulsive.
If you are in the amber or red zone: Use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tool in your account settings right now. If you are in the red zone, please talk to someone you trust. Air123 support is available 24/7 via live chat and will action self-exclusion requests as a priority.

Smart Habits

10 Tips for Safer Play

  • Decide your session budget in PKR before you open the app — not during play.
  • Treat gaming winnings as a bonus, not as reliable income.
  • Never deposit from funds meant for rent, bills or groceries.
  • Take at least a 10-minute break for every hour of play.
  • Do not play when you are tired, stressed, or had alcohol.
  • Keep gaming separate from cricket watching — betting should not be the only reason you follow PSL or T20 matches.
  • Set session time reminders so you are always aware of how long you have been playing.
  • Never try to win back losses by increasing your bet size — this is how small losses become big ones.
  • Talk to someone you trust if gaming ever feels like an obligation rather than entertainment.
  • Use the air123 self-exclusion tool without hesitation if you feel you need a break — it is there exactly for this purpose.
Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Yes. Reducing a deposit limit takes effect the moment you save the change in your account settings. If you want to increase a limit, a minimum 24-hour cooling-off period applies before the higher limit becomes active. This delay is intentional — it gives you time to think the decision over before committing to a bigger budget.

During a self-exclusion period your account is locked for login, deposits and betting. However, any balance remaining in your account at the time of exclusion can be withdrawn. Contact the air123 support team via live chat and they will process the withdrawal to your registered JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank account as a priority, without requiring you to log in.

The most direct step is to have an honest conversation with them about your concern. If they are open to it, encourage them to use the self-exclusion or deposit limit tools in their account settings. If you believe the account belongs to a minor, contact air123 support immediately — accounts belonging to players under 18 are closed without exception. Remember that each account is personal; air123 cannot share account details with third parties, but the support team can advise on what steps are available.

No. air123 is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. Age is verified during the registration process and again during the KYC (Know Your Customer) check, which requires a valid CNIC. Any account found to belong to a player under 18 is closed immediately and all funds are returned. If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend protecting your air123 account with a password they cannot access.

No. As soon as a cooling-off or self-exclusion period is activated, all promotional communications — emails, SMS and in-app notifications — are paused for the full duration. This is automatic and does not require a separate opt-out action. If you receive a promotional message during an active exclusion period, report it to the support team immediately so the issue can be investigated and corrected.

Currently, deposit and loss limits on air123 apply to the account as a whole rather than individual game categories. If you find that one particular type of game — for example, slots or live casino — is causing more issues than others, the most effective approach is to use a lower overall deposit limit combined with session time reminders. Contact the support team via live chat if you want to discuss your specific situation and they will advise on the best combination of tools.

Play Smart. Stay in Control.

air123 is built for Pakistani players who want real entertainment — cricket betting, slots and live casino — all in PKR, all with the tools you need to keep gaming enjoyable and within your personal limits.
