Safe Play Commitment

me5 Responsible Gaming

Gaming on me5 is meant to be enjoyable — a way to follow your favourite Cricket matches, explore Live Casino tables or have a go at Bingo. When it stops being fun, that is the signal to step back. This page gives you every tool you need to stay in control.

Adults 18+ only. Gaming should never be a source of income.
Quick Access — Tools
All free, no VIP impact
  • Deposit limits (daily / weekly / monthly)
  • Session time reminders
  • Loss limits
  • Self-exclusion (temporary or permanent)

Gaming as Entertainment — Not a Financial Strategy

At me5, we want every player to enjoy the platform the way it is designed to be used — as a form of entertainment. Whether you are watching a PSL T20 match with a bit of skin in the game, spinning a few Slots rounds after work, or joining a Bingo room for a bit of fun, the experience should stay positive and well within your personal comfort zone.

Responsible gaming simply means making informed decisions about how you play. That includes setting a budget before you start, being honest with yourself about how much time you are spending on the platform, and using the tools available to you when you feel things are shifting in the wrong direction.

me5 provides a full set of self-management tools that any registered player can activate at any time — directly from the Account Settings section of the me5 app or website. None of these tools affect your VIP tier status, and none of them carry a fee. They exist purely to help you game on your own terms.

This page covers what those tools are, how to use them, how to recognise signs that your gaming habits may need a rethink, and what to do if you feel you need more support. We also cover how me5 protects younger users, and how our platform is designed with player wellbeing in mind from the ground up.

Important reminder: Gaming involves financial risk. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. Treat every PKR you deposit as the cost of entertainment — not an investment you expect to recover.

The me5 Responsible Gaming Promise

01
Player Tools — Always Free

Every self-management tool on me5 is free to activate and has no impact on your account standing, bonus eligibility or VIP programme status.

02
Immediate Restrictions, Gradual Relaxation

When you reduce a deposit limit or activate self-exclusion, it takes effect immediately. Requests to increase limits are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.

03
No Marketing During Self-Exclusion

Players who activate self-exclusion will not receive any promotional communications for the full duration of the exclusion period — no bonus offers, no PSL promotions, nothing.

04
Strict Age Verification

me5 verifies player age at registration and may request CNIC documents again at withdrawal. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 is closed immediately.

Everything You Need to Stay in Control

All tools are available under Account Settings after you log in. Changes take effect instantly — no support ticket needed.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum PKR amount you can deposit per day, per week or per month. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one requires a 24-hour waiting period so you have time to reconsider.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum PKR amount you are comfortable losing across a set time window. If your net losses hit the limit you have chosen, betting and Casino play is paused for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially useful if you tend to chase losses after a bad run.

Session Time Reminders

Set an alert that notifies you once you have been active on the me5 platform for a specified period — for example, 60 minutes or 2 hours. When the timer goes off, a clear on-screen prompt appears reminding you to take a break. The reminder is informational; you choose whether to continue or log out.

Take a Break

Need a short pause without going through full self-exclusion? The Take a Break option lets you temporarily suspend your me5 account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During the break period your account is inaccessible, no deposits can be made and no promotional emails are sent.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gaming has become a problem, self-exclusion closes your me5 account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Your account cannot be reopened during the exclusion period regardless of your request, and all marketing is stopped immediately. This is the most comprehensive protection tool available.

Activity History

Your full PKR deposit, withdrawal and wagering history is available in the Account section at any time. Reviewing your own activity log is one of the most straightforward ways to stay honest with yourself about how much time and money you are actually spending on the platform each week.

02

Tap or click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

03

Look for the "Responsible Gaming" tab within Account Settings. All self-management tools are grouped here in one place.

04

Sample Monthly Gaming Budget in PKR

This is a general guide to how you might think about your gaming budget in relation to your total income. These are illustrative figures only — your situation will differ.

Income Range (PKR / month) Suggested Max Gaming Budget % of Income
Under 30,000 Not recommended
30,000 – 60,000 PKR 1,500 – 3,000 5%
60,000 – 100,000 PKR 3,000 – 5,000 5%
100,000 – 200,000 PKR 5,000 – 10,000 5%
200,000+ PKR 10,000+ (personal discretion) ≤5%

Never use money set aside for household bills, rent, food, utilities or family obligations as a gaming budget. Only money you can genuinely afford to lose — and feel comfortable losing — should be deposited.

Practical tip: Set your monthly deposit limit in me5 before you make your first deposit of the month. That way the platform enforces your budget automatically — no willpower required mid-session.

Warning Signs That Your Gaming May Be Becoming a Problem

Recognising these signs early — in yourself or someone close to you — is the first step toward getting things back under control.

Depositing more than you planned, or topping up after losing to try to win it back
Spending more time on the platform than you intended, and struggling to log off
Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you are not able to access the platform
Gaming is affecting your relationships, work performance or daily responsibilities
Hiding your gaming activity or the amount you are spending from family members
Using money intended for bills, groceries or other essentials to fund deposits
Believing a big win is always "just around the corner" and that you just need to keep going
Gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, personal problems or emotional difficulties
Setting rules for yourself ("only 30 minutes, only PKR 500") and consistently breaking them

If any of the above sounds familiar, please take action now — use the self-exclusion tool, take a break, or reach out to the me5 support team. These patterns can escalate quickly and it is always better to address them early.

Quick Self-Check — How Is Your Gaming Right Now?

The questions below are designed to help you take a quick, honest look at your current gaming habits. There are no right or wrong answers — this is just for you. Be as honest as possible. If your answers are mostly in the "Sometimes" or "Often" column, it may be worth activating some of the self-management tools on me5 or speaking to someone you trust.

Problem gambling develops gradually. Most people who experience it did not see it coming. Regular self-checks — even quick ones like this — are a practical way to stay ahead of it.

Ask Yourself Honestly

Do you spend more PKR than you planned when you started a session?
Rarely Sometimes Often
Do you feel the urge to play again shortly after losing, to recover what you lost?
Rarely Sometimes Often
Has gaming ever caused tension or arguments at home or affected your work?
Never Once or twice Regularly
Do you find it difficult to stop playing even when you intended to?
Rarely Sometimes Often
Have you hidden the amount you spend on gaming from someone close to you?
Never Once More than once

If your answers are trending toward "Sometimes," "Often" or "Regularly," it is a good idea to set tighter limits on your account or take a break. Our support team is available 24/7 if you want to talk it through.

me5 is Strictly Adults Only

You must be 18 years of age or older to register and use any part of the me5 platform — Sports Betting, Casino, Live Casino, Bingo, Esports or any other product.

Age verification is carried out at registration. We may also request CNIC documentation before processing a withdrawal. Any account identified as belonging to a minor is closed immediately, all activity is voided and deposited PKR is returned to the payment source.

If you share a device with family members and are concerned about a younger person accessing your me5 account, log out after every session and do not save your password on shared devices. You can also use device-level parental controls to block access to me5.pro.

Keeping Under-18s Away from the Platform

Pakistan has a large and growing population of young people who are digitally active and comfortable with mobile apps and online platforms. me5 takes its responsibility to keep under-18s off the platform seriously — not just through verification checks, but through the overall design and culture of how the platform operates.

Our approach to age protection includes mandatory age verification at registration, CNIC checks during the withdrawal process, and enhanced scrutiny for accounts where unusual patterns suggest a mismatch between stated age and actual behaviour.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a minor has registered on me5 or is using an adult's account, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate the matter without delay. The safety of younger users is not something we treat lightly.

We also encourage parents and guardians to have open conversations with young people in their household about the nature of online gaming platforms — specifically that outcomes are based on chance, that money deposited can and often is lost, and that these platforms are designed for adults who can make fully informed financial decisions.

Parents and guardians: If you use a shared mobile device with family members, consider enabling app-level or device-level access controls to prevent younger users from accessing the me5 app or website without your knowledge.

Responsible Gaming — Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely. Setting a deposit limit, loss limit, session reminder or any other responsible gaming tool has no effect on your VIP tier or your eligibility for promotions. Your VIP status is based on your qualifying wagering activity — responsible gaming tools simply help you manage your budget within that activity. The two systems operate independently.

Self-exclusion takes effect immediately — as soon as you confirm the request in your Account Settings or via the support team. You will be logged out and will not be able to log back in for the full duration of the exclusion. All marketing communications are stopped at the same time. The minimum self-exclusion period is 6 months. Permanent self-exclusion means your account cannot be reopened at all.

Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period from the time you submit the request. This delay is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider the decision rather than acting impulsively in the moment. The increase only applies once the 24 hours have passed and you confirm you still want to proceed.

Any withdrawable PKR balance remaining in your me5 account at the time of self-exclusion can be withdrawn via the standard withdrawal process before the exclusion fully locks the account. If you need assistance processing a withdrawal alongside a self-exclusion request, contact the support team via live chat and they will handle both at the same time.

Yes. When the Take a Break feature is active, your account is fully suspended for the duration you selected. You cannot log in, place bets, play Casino or Bingo, or make a deposit during that window. Withdrawals can still be processed by contacting the support team directly if required. No promotional emails are sent during a break period.

If you believe someone in your household is struggling with their gaming habits, the most important thing is to have a calm, non-judgmental conversation with them about what you have noticed. Encourage them to review their gaming history on me5 and to use the self-management tools available. If they are unwilling to do so, or if the situation is serious, please contact the me5 support team — we can guide you on the steps available from our end, including account review and support options.
