Responsible gambling is not a single rule or a tick-box disclaimer. It is a set of habits, tools and decisions that keep gaming in its proper place — as a form of entertainment with defined limits, just like any other leisure activity. The moment gambling starts to feel like a way to recover losses, relieve stress or generate income, it has moved into territory that causes harm.
At 6ixs, we have designed our platform so that responsible gambling tools are prominent, accessible and easy to activate. Deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion and cool-off periods are built into the account system — available to every registered user, at any time of day or night. You do not need to navigate hidden menus or wait for support approval to use them.
We understand that Pakistani players navigate a specific set of circumstances — from social pressures and financial constraints familiar in cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi, to the legal context under which online gambling operates in Pakistan. These realities make responsible gaming guidance even more important. Our tools and this guide are written with that context fully in mind.
We also acknowledge that gambling is not appropriate for everyone. If you have ever experienced financial hardship as a result of gambling, or if gambling has affected your relationships or mental wellbeing, please consider using the self-exclusion tool or contacting our support team before playing again. No promotional offer is worth your financial security or personal wellbeing.
Every 6ixs account comes with a full suite of responsible gambling controls. All tools are free, accessible in your account settings and effective immediately or within specified timeframes.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly or monthly period. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of a session.
Cap the total amount you can lose within a set period — daily, weekly or monthly. Once your loss limit is reached, no further real-money wagers can be placed until the limit period resets or a lower limit takes effect.
Restrict how long you can play in a single session. When your set duration is reached, you will be logged out automatically. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing unplanned extended play.
Choose to receive periodic in-session pop-ups that display your session duration, net activity and current balance. Small, factual prompts like these break the flow of play and give you a clear-headed moment to decide whether to continue.
Step away for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — without permanently closing your account. During a cool-off, your account is deactivated and no marketing communications will be sent. You cannot reverse a cool-off early.
The most serious tool available — temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from the platform. Self-exclusion is enforced, not advisory. The minimum self-exclusion period is 6 months. Contact support to activate at any time, 24/7.
Setting up your responsible gambling controls takes under two minutes. Here is how to access each tool from within your 6ixs account.
Log in to your account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Deposit Limits. Choose your period (daily / weekly / monthly), enter your limit amount in PKR and confirm. The limit activates immediately.
Under Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Loss Limits, define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with in a given period. When the limit is hit, your account will be blocked from placing further wagers until the period resets.
Under Responsible Gambling settings, enable reality check alerts and choose an interval — for example, every 30 minutes. A non-intrusive notification will appear in-session showing your elapsed time and current position.
Go to Responsible Gambling → Take a Break. Choose your duration. Once confirmed, your account is immediately deactivated for that period. You will not be able to log in or reverse the break early through self-service.
Self-exclusion can be activated from your account settings or by contacting support directly. Once active, your account is closed for the selected minimum period. You cannot reverse self-exclusion early — this is by design, to protect you.
If you are struggling to navigate settings, or if you need a tool activated urgently, contact the 6ixs support team via live chat or email at any hour. Our team will prioritise responsible gambling requests and action them immediately.
Understanding the difference between healthy entertainment and problem gambling is the first step to staying in control.
If you recognise two or more of the following patterns in your own behaviour, please use the self-exclusion tool or contact support.
Healthy gambling looks like this. If your play consistently fits this profile, you are managing well — but stay vigilant.
This is not a clinical diagnostic tool. It is a personal reflection exercise to help you think honestly about your gambling habits. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion or cool-off tools and speak to a professional.
1. Have you ever spent more time or money gambling than you originally planned?
2. Have you ever gambled with money that was needed for essential expenses?
3. Have you ever felt the need to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement?
4. After losing, do you feel a strong urge to return and win the money back?
5. Has gambling caused any tension with family members or affected your daily responsibilities?
The 6ixs platform is strictly restricted to adults aged 18 years and above — or a higher minimum age where required by the operator's license jurisdiction. Age verification is mandatory at account creation and is enforced as part of our KYC process. No individual under the minimum legal age may register, deposit or place wagers on the platform.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend implementing parental controls or device-level content filtering software that restricts access to online gambling platforms. A number of reputable tools are available for Windows, Android and iOS devices for this purpose.
If you believe that a minor has accessed or is attempting to access the 6ixs platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. Any account found to belong to an underage individual will be immediately closed and all associated funds forfeited.
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gambling tool available and should be considered whenever gambling is no longer feeling like entertainment. It is an enforceable, non-reversible commitment to step away from the platform for a meaningful period.
The shortest available self-exclusion period is 6 months. This cannot be shortened after activation, regardless of circumstances.
A permanent self-exclusion option is also available for users who want to close their account with no possibility of return.
Once self-exclusion is active, all promotional communications and re-engagement messages are stopped immediately.
Self-exclusion can be requested at any hour via live chat or email. Support will action it immediately and confirm in writing.
If gambling is causing harm, professional support is available. The following is a plain-text reference to internationally recognised responsible gambling resources that may be accessible to users in Pakistan.
GamCare is a leading provider of free information, advice and support for anyone affected by gambling harm. Their resources include a helpline and online support forum. Accessible internationally by users seeking English-language guidance.
Gamblers Anonymous operates a worldwide fellowship of individuals who share their experience to help others recover from problem gambling. Online meeting attendance is available globally. GA uses a peer-support model with no fees or membership requirements.
BeGambleAware provides free, confidential support and treatment for problem gambling, including an online self-assessment tool and live chat with trained advisers. Available in English and accessible internationally via their online platform.
Users in Pakistan experiencing gambling-related mental health difficulties may benefit from speaking to a licensed counsellor or mental health professional. Government hospitals in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and other major cities operate psychiatric outpatient services.
Sometimes the most effective first step is an honest conversation with a trusted family member or friend. People who care about you cannot help if they do not know what you are going through. You do not have to manage gambling problems alone.
Our support team is available 24/7 and can activate any responsible gambling tool on your account immediately upon request — deposit limits, loss limits, cool-off periods or full self-exclusion. Reach us at [email protected].
