Responsible Gambling

z7com | Safe Play Framework | Adults 18+ Only

Gambling is meant to be entertaining — nothing more. At z7com, we take our commitment to responsible gambling seriously. Whether you are following Pakistan cricket, placing a PSL T20 bet or spinning the reels, we want every session to stay fun, controlled and within your means. This page explains the tools, limits and support resources available to you.

Our Core Principles

Responsible gambling is built into how z7com operates — not added as an afterthought. These six principles guide every decision we make about player safety on our platform.

Adults Only — 18+

Access to z7com is strictly limited to adults aged 18 or above, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or licence jurisdiction. We enforce this through a mandatory KYC identity verification process for all registered accounts before any withdrawals are permitted.

Player-Set Limits

You are in control. z7com's responsible gambling tools let you set your own deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits and session time reminders — all configurable directly from your account settings at any time.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a break — short or long — z7com's self-exclusion tool lets you temporarily suspend or permanently close your account. Exclusions take effect immediately and can be set for periods ranging from 24 hours to indefinite closure.

Reality Checks

Lose track of time during a long PSL match or live casino session? Reality-check notifications remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered, so you can make informed decisions about whether to continue your session.

Support & Resources

We signpost recognised responsible gambling support organisations for users who feel their gambling may be getting out of hand. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Support is available in English, and Urdu-language assistance can be requested.

Transparent & Fair Play

z7com provides clear, honest information about odds, house edges and how games work. We never misrepresent your chances of winning and we do not target vulnerable users with promotional offers designed to exploit impulsive behaviour.


Your Safe Play Toolkit

Every z7com account comes with a full set of responsible gambling controls. You can activate, adjust or tighten any of these limits at any time — no waiting period to make limits stricter, though a cooling-off period applies when loosening them.

Deposit Limits

Cap how much you can deposit over a daily, weekly or monthly period — denominated in PKR. Once set, a deposit limit cannot be increased until the cooling-off period has elapsed, protecting you from impulsive top-ups during a losing run.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss threshold for a given period. When you reach your loss limit, z7com will prevent further play until the period resets, helping you stay within a budget you are comfortable with.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly

Session Time Limits

Limit your total active play time per session or per day. When you approach your limit, z7com will display a prompt. When you hit it, your session will close automatically — no override available until the next period begins.

Per Session / Daily

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break without fully closing your account? A cool-off period temporarily suspends your access for a set duration — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — during which you cannot log in or place bets.

24h to 6 Weeks

Self-Exclusion

For a more serious break, self-exclusion suspends your account for a minimum of six months or permanently. During exclusion you cannot create a new account. Reactivation after a temporary exclusion requires a mandatory reflection period.

6 Months – Permanent

Reality Checks

Timed pop-up reminders appear at intervals you choose — every 15, 30 or 60 minutes — displaying your session duration and net balance movement, so you always know exactly where you stand.

15 / 30 / 60 Min

Activity History

View a full, transparent breakdown of your deposit, withdrawal and betting history at any time from your account dashboard. Knowing your actual spend is one of the most powerful responsible gambling tools available.

Full History Available

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early signs — in yourself or someone close to you — is the first and most important step toward getting back in control. If any of the following sounds familiar, please reach out for support right away.

Chasing Losses — Placing larger bets to try to recover money you have already lost, rather than accepting the loss and stopping.

Losing Track of Time — Regularly spending far more time gambling than you intended, missing meals, sleep or social commitments because of a session.

Gambling with Essential Money — Using funds set aside for rent, groceries, utility bills or school fees to fund gambling activity.

Mood Dependence — Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when not gambling, or gambling to escape stress, anxiety or difficult emotions.

Hiding Gambling Activity — Lying to family members, friends or colleagues about how much you gamble or how much you have lost.

Needing to Bet More — Finding that the same bet size no longer provides the same excitement and feeling compelled to increase stakes to get a similar thrill.

Borrowing to Gamble — Taking loans, using credit cards or borrowing money from family members in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or anywhere else specifically to fund gambling.

Inability to Stop — Making repeated, unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling, despite wanting to do so and recognising the harm it is causing.


Quick Self-Assessment

Honest self-reflection is one of the most useful tools in responsible gambling. The questions below are not a clinical diagnosis — they are a starting point for thinking about your relationship with gambling. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to use one of our account controls or reach out to a support organisation.

These questions are adapted from widely recognised responsible-gambling screening frameworks used internationally. z7com presents them for informational purposes only and does not provide clinical advice.

Ask Yourself Honestly

01

Have you ever gambled with money that you needed for household expenses, bills or food?

02

Have you ever felt the need to bet larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement?

03

Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found that you could not stick to your decision?

04

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling — replaying past bets or planning future ones — when you should be focused on other things?

05

Have you ever hidden your gambling activity or losses from family members or close friends?

06

After losing, do you feel a strong urge to return and "win it back" as soon as possible?

07

Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, family events or important commitments?

08

Do you ever gamble to escape stress, boredom, loneliness or to cope with difficult emotions?

If you answered yes to 3 or more questions, please consider activating a deposit limit, cool-off period or self-exclusion via your account settings, and review the support resources listed below. Seeking help early makes a meaningful difference.


Self-Exclusion — How It Works

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gambling tool available on z7com. Here is exactly what happens when you activate it and what you should expect during the exclusion period.

Self-Exclusion — Full Details

How to activate: Log in to your z7com account, navigate to the Responsible Gambling section of your Account Settings, select "Self-Exclusion" and choose your exclusion duration. Alternatively, contact our support team directly at [email protected] and request immediate exclusion — we will action it within one hour of receiving your request.

What happens immediately: Your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, place bets or access any gaming content. Any pending promotional offers or bonuses associated with your account are cancelled. Outstanding withdrawal requests for verified balances will still be processed.

Marketing exclusion: Upon self-exclusion, you are automatically removed from all marketing communications including promotional emails and bonus offers. You will not receive any gambling-related messages during your exclusion period.

Duration options: 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent closure. Temporary exclusions (6 months to 5 years) can be reviewed at the end of the period after a mandatory 7-day reflection window. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed.

Creating new accounts: Attempting to open a new z7com account during a self-exclusion period is a breach of our Terms & Conditions. Any account opened in circumvention of a self-exclusion will be closed and any funds deposited during that period handled in accordance with our regulatory obligations.

Before You Self-Exclude

  • Withdraw any remaining balance first — processing continues after exclusion for verified accounts.
  • Consider telling a trusted family member or friend — accountability helps.
  • Block gambling websites using third-party software (e.g., Gamban) for additional protection.
  • Contact a support organisation — self-exclusion works best alongside professional support.
  • Remove saved payment details from your browser to reduce the temptation to sign up elsewhere.

Need immediate help? Contact us at [email protected] and we will activate self-exclusion on your behalf within one hour.
