Safe Play Programme

Responsible Gambling at c44com

Betting should be one of life's enjoyments — not a source of stress, debt or personal harm. c44com is built on the belief that every player deserves access to honest information, practical protective tools and support when they need it most. This page explains everything we do to keep play safe for every Pakistani user on our platform.

18+ Adults only — or the higher minimum required by the operator/licence jurisdiction. Local law may restrict gambling in Pakistan.

Gambling Is Entertainment. Not a Solution.

At c44com, responsible gambling is not a footnote in a terms document — it is a core part of how the platform is designed and operated. We believe that for gambling to be a genuinely positive experience, every player needs to understand the risks, have control over their own behaviour, and know where to turn when things stop feeling fun.

Millions of people enjoy betting on Pakistan cricket, follow PSL matches with a wager and spend time on live casino tables as a form of entertainment. The vast majority do so without harm. But for a minority of players, gambling can become problematic — and recognising that early, before it escalates, makes a significant difference to outcomes.

c44com provides this page to help every user — whether they are placing their first bet from Karachi or a seasoned player in Lahore — access clear, honest information about responsible gambling, understand the tools available to them and make genuinely informed choices about how, when and how much to bet.

Gambling is not a guaranteed way to make money. No betting strategy, system or sequence eliminates the house edge. Over the long run, the expected outcome for any player is a net loss. Treat every bet as entertainment spending — money you are comfortable losing.

The c44com Responsible Play Pledge

We commit to making responsible gambling tools visible, accessible and genuinely effective — not hidden in menus nobody opens. Player welfare is not an afterthought.

Set Before You Play

Decide your budget and time limit before you start a session — not mid-game.

Track Your Time

It is easy to lose track of time when following a live cricket match. Use session reminders.

Never Chase Losses

A losing streak is not "due" to end. Increasing stakes to recover losses almost always makes things worse.

Take Breaks

Regular breaks reduce impulsive decisions. Step away, eat something, check in with yourself.

Responsible Gambling Tools at c44com

These tools are available within the platform where supported by the operator. Availability may vary. Contact support for specific guidance on enabling any of the features below.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount over a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once your limit is reached, additional deposits are blocked until the period resets. Limits can be decreased immediately but increases take effect only after a mandatory cooling-off period — protecting you from impulsive decisions in the heat of a PSL final or an ICC knockout match.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum net loss you are prepared to accept within a defined period. When your loss limit is reached, your ability to place further bets is suspended for the remainder of that period. This is one of the most direct tools for keeping gambling within a budget you can afford — particularly valuable when following a losing streak on cricket betting.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. When your session reaches the time limit, you receive a notification and are prompted to stop. Session time controls are particularly useful during extended live casino play or multi-match betting days, where time can pass unnoticed and fatigue can affect decision-making.

Reality Check Reminders

Periodic on-screen notifications showing you how long you have been playing and your net result for the session. Reality checks interrupt the flow of play at a frequency you choose — typically every 30 or 60 minutes — and give you a moment to assess whether you want to continue. You may be prompted to decide: keep playing or stop.

Cooling-Off Period

Request a temporary break from the platform lasting anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks. During a cooling-off period your account is suspended and you will not receive marketing communications. This is less permanent than self-exclusion and is designed for users who recognise they need a short break without committing to a long-term exclusion.

Self-Exclusion

A formal request to close access to c44com for a defined minimum period — typically from six months upward. Self-exclusion is a serious step and cannot be reversed until the exclusion period has elapsed. During exclusion, your account is suspended, pending bets are voided and all promotional communications are stopped. Your Real Money Balance is returned via your verified payment method subject to standard terms.

To activate any responsible gambling tool listed above, log in to your account and navigate to the responsible gambling section of your account settings, or contact c44com support directly at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). Our support team is available 24/7.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. It can develop gradually. Being honest with yourself about these warning signs is an important first step toward staying in control.

Betting With Money You Cannot Afford to Lose

Using rent, groceries or family expense money (whether PKR savings, Easypaisa/JazzCash balance intended for bills or borrowed funds) to fund betting sessions is a clear warning sign.

Chasing Losses Compulsively

Increasing bet sizes after a losing run specifically to recover what was lost — rather than because you genuinely want to bet more — is a hallmark of problematic behaviour.

Hiding Gambling From Family or Friends

Secrecy about the time or money spent gambling — especially from people in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or elsewhere in Pakistan who are close to you — is a meaningful warning signal.

Gambling to Escape Stress or Low Mood

Using betting as an emotional coping mechanism — to feel better after a bad day, to avoid thinking about problems — is a pattern associated with gambling disorder.

Losing Track of Time Regularly

Frequently realising that hours have passed during a session when you intended to play for only a short time, particularly during live betting or casino play, is worth paying attention to.

Failing to Keep to Self-Imposed Limits

If you regularly tell yourself "just one more bet" or ignore limits you set for yourself, this suggests gambling may have moved beyond recreational territory.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Allowing gambling to interfere with work, studies, family obligations or religious practices is a serious indicator that intervention and support are needed.

Ask Yourself Honestly

The following questions are adapted from widely used problem gambling screening tools. Answer honestly — not for us, but for yourself. If you answer "yes" to several of these, speaking to a support service is a strong positive step.

Q1

Have you ever bet more than you intended to when you sat down to play?

Q2

Have you borrowed money or sold anything to fund gambling?

Q3

Do you feel restless, irritable or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling?

Q4

Have you ever chased losses — placed more bets specifically to win back money you lost?

Q5

Have you lied to family members, friends or anyone else about how much you gamble?

Q6

Has gambling caused arguments with family members or affected relationships?

Q7

Do you gamble to escape from problems, stress, loneliness or low mood?

Q8

Have you ever considered or taken any illegal actions to finance gambling?

If you answered yes to two or more questions, consider speaking to a professional support service. Recognising a problem early is a strength, not a weakness. Reach out to c44com support or a qualified counselling service in your area.

Strictly Adults Only

c44com operates a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. You must be at least 18 years of age — or the higher minimum required by the operator's licence jurisdiction, whichever is greater — to register, deposit or place any bets on the platform.

Age verification is a mandatory step in the registration and KYC process. c44com requires valid identity documentation to confirm date of birth. Any account where there is reasonable doubt about the Account holder's age may be suspended pending verification. Accounts confirmed to be registered by underage individuals will be immediately closed and all funds forfeited.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites, including c44com. Multiple household devices — including the Android handsets most commonly used across Pakistani cities — can be configured with parental controls through device settings or dedicated parental control applications.

Underage gambling is harmful and illegal. Do not share your c44com login credentials with minors. If you know of an underage person accessing gambling platforms, contact our support team immediately.
Mandatory Age Verification
Every account on c44com must pass KYC age verification before withdrawal access is granted. Verification requires a valid CNIC or passport showing date of birth. We do not rely on self-declaration alone.
Parental Controls Guidance
On Android devices (the most common device type among Pakistani users), parental controls can be configured through Digital Wellbeing settings or Family Link. On iOS, Screen Time provides app blocking and content restrictions. Browser-level controls are also available on most routers used by Pakistani households.
Account Credential Security
Keep your c44com account credentials — username, password and any two-factor authentication codes — secure and away from minors. Do not leave sessions logged in on shared household devices. Always log out when your session is complete.

Support Resources for Pakistani Users

If gambling is affecting your mental health, finances or relationships, speaking to a qualified support service is the most important step you can take. The following organisations and services may be relevant to users in Pakistan seeking help with problem gambling or related mental health concerns. All listings are text-only references — c44com does not imply formal partnership or endorsement.

c44com Responsible Gambling Support Team
Our own support team is available 24/7 and trained to assist users with activating responsible gambling tools, requesting self-exclusion, setting deposit and loss limits, and discussing concerns in a non-judgmental way. Contact us at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). Urdu-language assistance is available on request.
Mental Health Professionals in Pakistan
Pakistan has a growing network of licensed psychologists and psychiatrists who work with behavioural addictions including gambling disorder. Hospitals in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi with psychiatric departments can provide referrals. General practitioners (GPs) at any public or private clinic can also provide an initial referral for behavioural health concerns.
Community and Family Support
In Pakistan's close-knit family and community context, speaking to a trusted family member, religious leader or community figure can be a meaningful first step. Many people find that acknowledging a gambling problem to someone they trust reduces isolation and opens the door to practical help — including financial and emotional support.
Umang Pakistan (Mental Health Helpline)
Umang Pakistan operates a mental health helpline offering counselling support across Pakistan. While not a dedicated gambling helpline, their services address anxiety, depression and stress — issues closely associated with problem gambling. Contact details are available via a web search for "Umang Pakistan helpline". This is a text-only reference and not a verified current listing — please verify availability before relying on this service.
c44com does not provide clinical counselling or mental health services. The resources listed above are for informational purposes only. If you are in crisis, please contact emergency services in your area immediately.

The c44com 7 Golden Rules

These seven principles, when followed consistently, substantially reduce the risk of gambling becoming harmful. Share them with anyone you know who bets.

1
Only Bet What You Can Afford to Lose
Your gambling budget should come from discretionary spending — never from savings, household bills, children's needs or borrowed money.
2
Set Limits Before Every Session
Decide your deposit ceiling and session duration before you start. Use the platform's built-in tools to enforce them automatically.
3
Never Chase Losses
Losses are the cost of entertainment — not a debt the game owes you. Walking away after a losing session is always the right move.
4
Keep Gambling and Life Separate
Betting should complement life's enjoyments — PSL season, a T20 World Cup evening — not replace work, family time or religious observance.
5
Take Regular Breaks
Stand up, get a drink, speak to someone. Physical breaks reduce impulsive decisions during long live-betting or casino sessions.
6
Never Bet When Emotional or Impaired
Do not place bets when you are stressed, upset, intoxicated or fatigued. Impaired judgement leads to poor decisions with real financial consequences.
7
Ask for Help Early
If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, talking to someone — a friend, family member or professional — is not a sign of weakness. It is the most practical thing you can do.

How to Self-Exclude from c44com

Self-exclusion is a formal step with real consequences for platform access. The process below explains how it works. If you are unsure whether self-exclusion is right for you, speak to our support team first.

01
Contact Support

Email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" from your registered email address.

02
Specify Duration

State your preferred exclusion period. Minimum periods are typically six months. Longer periods (one year, three years, permanent) are available.

03
Verification

Our team will verify the request against your account. You may be asked to confirm identity to prevent fraudulent exclusion requests.

04
Exclusion Activated

Once confirmed, access is suspended, marketing stops and your Real Money Balance is returned per standard withdrawal terms. The exclusion cannot be reversed early.

Self-exclusion is irreversible for its full duration. If you have requested exclusion, any attempt to create a new account during the exclusion period is a breach of the Terms & Conditions and will result in permanent closure of the new account and forfeiture of any associated balance.
