21+

Important Notice: clupk strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all registered players across Pakistan — Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, and beyond. Gambling by persons under 21 is strictly prohibited and any account found to be held by a minor will be immediately suspended and funds withheld pending investigation.

Our Commitment

clupk's Approach to Responsible Gaming

Gaming should be something you enjoy on your own terms — a bit of entertainment after work, a bit of added excitement during a PSL final. clupk is built for Pakistani players who want a premium, secure betting experience, and part of that premium experience is a genuine commitment to responsible gaming practices. We are not just ticking a regulatory box. We genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player on our platform.

Problem gambling is a recognised behavioural health issue that can affect people from all walks of life. It does not discriminate by city, income, or background. That is why clupk has built a suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform — not buried in a settings menu, but accessible any time you need them. From Islamabad to Faisalabad, our team is trained to identify at-risk behaviour and offer meaningful support before things spiral.

clupk operates under an international gaming licence, which mandates strict adherence to responsible gambling standards. This means we are accountable — not just to our players, but to our regulatory authority. We undergo regular audits to ensure our responsible gaming framework meets global best practice, including self-exclusion protocols, spend monitoring, and staff training on problem gambling identification.

The golden rule at clupk is simple: only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never chase losses, never borrow money to play, and never let gambling interfere with your family, job, or finances. If gaming ever stops being fun, use one of the tools below — or reach out to our support team immediately. We are here to help.

Licensed & Regulated: clupk holds an international gaming licence and is required to maintain responsible gambling standards as a condition of that licence. Our responsible gaming practices are audited regularly to ensure full compliance with applicable guidelines and player protection requirements.

Core Principles

What We Stand For

  • Entertainment First: Gaming at clupk is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. We actively promote this mindset in all player communications.
  • Player Autonomy: You are in control of your spending and session time. Our tools make it easy to enforce your own limits without needing to contact support.
  • Zero Underage Tolerance: Strict age verification is mandatory for all clupk accounts. Anyone under 21 is categorically excluded from the platform.
  • Transparent Odds & RTP: We display game Return-to-Player (RTP) rates clearly so players can make informed decisions about which games to play.
  • No Pressure Marketing: clupk does not direct aggressive marketing at players who have set deposit limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion requests.
  • Proactive Outreach: Our team monitors account activity for signs of problem gambling and reaches out proactively if unusual patterns are detected — because intervention early makes all the difference.
  • Confidential Support: All responsible gaming requests — including self-exclusion and support referrals — are handled with complete confidentiality and zero judgment.
Safety Tools

Built-In Responsible Gaming Tools

Six powerful tools that put you in complete control of your gaming experience on clupk — available instantly, around the clock.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps in PKR directly from your account settings. Once a limit is applied, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions — decreasing a limit takes effect instantly.

Session Time Limits

Decide in advance how long you want to play in a single session. When your time is up, clupk will display a clear notification and log you out automatically. Session time reminders can also be set at custom intervals so you stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Loss Limits

Cap the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Loss limits help prevent chasing behaviour, which is one of the most common warning signs of developing gambling problems. Your loss limit resets automatically at the start of each period.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from the platform for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period your account remains visible but you cannot deposit, place bets, or access casino games. This tool is ideal if you feel your gaming is becoming more frequent than you intended.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, clupk's self-exclusion tool allows you to close your account for a minimum of 6 months, up to 5 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion is processed within 24 hours and includes removal from all clupk marketing lists. This is the most powerful tool we offer — and we will always honour it without question.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable reality check notifications that pop up at intervals you choose — every 30 minutes, every hour, or every 2 hours. Each notification shows your session duration and net win/loss for the session, giving you a clear picture of where you stand before you decide whether to continue playing.

Self-Exclusion

How to Self-Exclude on clupk

Requesting self-exclusion is one of the most important steps a player can take when they recognise their gaming is no longer enjoyable or is causing harm. On clupk, the process is straightforward and takes just a few minutes. Our support team will never attempt to talk you out of a self-exclusion request.

01
Log Into Your clupk Account

Navigate to your Account Settings by clicking on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the platform dashboard.

02
Go to Responsible Gaming Settings

Select the "Responsible Gaming" tab from your account menu. This is where all safety tools — including deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion — are managed.

03
Choose Self-Exclusion Period

Select your desired exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent. Think carefully — all periods are binding and cannot be reversed during the active exclusion window.

04
Confirm Your Request

Confirm your identity and submit the request. Your account will be suspended within 24 hours. You will receive a confirmation email to the address registered on your clupk account.

05
Contact Support if Needed

If you prefer not to navigate the settings yourself, contact our 24/7 live chat support team and they will process your self-exclusion request immediately, with no questions asked.

Permanent Self-Exclusion: Players who opt for permanent self-exclusion will have their account closed, all marketing contact ceased, and any outstanding balance (minus any bonus funds) returned via their verified payment method. This decision is final and irreversible.

Warning Signs

Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

Problem gambling often develops gradually. The signs can be subtle at first. If you recognise three or more of the following in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team or use one of our responsible gaming tools right away.

01

You spend more money on gambling than you originally planned, regularly going over your self-set budget.

02

You find yourself chasing losses — continuing to play after losing in an attempt to "win back" what you've lost.

03

Gambling is affecting your relationships, work performance, or daily responsibilities at home or in the office.

04

You feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you try to cut down on gambling or take a break from it.

05

You borrow money — from friends, family, or through credit — to fund your gambling activities.

06

You hide your gambling activity from family or close friends because you know they would be concerned.

07

Gambling has become your primary way of coping with stress, boredom, anxiety, or difficult emotions.

08

You have tried to stop gambling before but found it very difficult or impossible to maintain the break.

You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling affects a significant number of online players across Pakistan. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. clupk's support team can connect you with confidential resources and implement account protections immediately — no judgment, no delay.

Account Controls

Managing Your Account Safely

Every responsible gaming tool on clupk is accessible from a single dedicated section of your account dashboard. You do not need to contact support for most of these — they are built for self-service so you can act quickly when you feel you need to.

PKR Deposit Controls

Set and manage daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Pakistani Rupees. All limits apply across all deposit methods — JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Visa, and Mastercard.

Session Duration Tracker

Your account dashboard shows your cumulative gambling time for the current day and the past 7 days. This passive tracking helps you stay aware of time spent on the platform without requiring any action.

Win & Loss History

Access a detailed transaction and gaming history covering all bets placed, wins, losses, and bonus usage. Reviewing this history regularly helps you maintain an accurate picture of your overall gambling spend.

Marketing Opt-Out

Remove yourself from all promotional communications — bonus offers, free bet alerts, PSL specials — at any time via account preferences. Players using responsible gaming tools are automatically removed from aggressive promotional targeting.

Account Lock

For immediate protection, our account lock feature disables your account for a period you specify. Unlike cooling-off, an account lock can be requested by contacting support and is processed within minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Verified Identity Protection

KYC verification on clupk prevents a second account from being opened in your name during a self-exclusion period. Our system cross-references identity documents to enforce exclusion periods across the entire platform.

Age Verification

Protecting Minors from Harm

Protecting minors is a non-negotiable part of clupk's operating standards. Our age verification process is thorough and mandatory — no account can be fully activated without passing identity and age checks. We also encourage parents and guardians across Pakistan to take an active role in keeping young people safe online.

  • Mandatory CNIC Verification: All players must submit their National Identity Card (CNIC) for verification. Our KYC system confirms that the document holder is 21 years of age or older before the account is activated.
  • Document Review: Submitted identity documents are reviewed by trained verification staff and cross-checked against national identity records where possible. Fraudulent documents are reported.
  • Deposits Held Pending Verification: If age verification is not completed within the required timeframe, any deposited funds are held and gameplay is suspended until KYC is fully cleared.
  • Parental Control Guidance: We strongly recommend parents in Pakistan install parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites on shared or family devices.
  • Minor Account Reporting: If you believe a person under 21 has opened a clupk account, report it immediately via live chat. We will investigate and take action within 24 hours.

Need Help Right Now?

24/7 Live Chat: Our responsible gaming support team is available around the clock via the live chat function on the clupk platform. Response time is typically under 2 minutes.

Pakistan-Wide Coverage: Our support team serves players from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, and all other cities across Pakistan — same level of care, wherever you are.
Safer Play Tips

Practical Tips for Playing Responsibly

Simple habits that make a big difference — for casual players and regular bettors alike across Pakistan.

Set a Budget Before You Start

Decide how much money you are comfortable losing — not winning — before you open the platform. Treat that amount like an entertainment expense, similar to a cinema ticket or dinner out in Lahore. Once it is gone, the session ends.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen every 45-60 minutes. Continuous play without breaks reduces decision-making quality and increases the likelihood of impulsive betting. A short walk, a cup of chai, or a 10-minute break can reset your mindset entirely.

Never Play to Escape Emotions

Gambling while stressed, anxious, depressed, or angry almost always leads to poor decisions and larger losses. If you are going through a difficult period — financially or personally — take a break from the platform until things stabilise.

Do Not Chase Losses

Chasing losses is the single most dangerous pattern in gambling behaviour. If you have hit your loss limit for the day, log out. There is always another match, another game, another day. A loss today does not need to be recovered today.

Talk to Someone You Trust

If gambling is causing you stress, share it with a trusted friend or family member. Having an accountability partner — someone who knows you are trying to keep gaming in check — significantly improves outcomes for players managing their habits.

Understand the Odds

Every game on clupk — from slots to live casino tables to cricket betting — has a built-in house edge. That means over the long run, the house wins. Understanding this reality helps you approach gaming as entertainment rather than a reliable income source.
