Gaming on six117 is meant to be enjoyable, and we want to keep it that way for every player. This page gives you all the tools, information and support you need to keep your gaming experience healthy, balanced and within your personal limits.
Our Commitment
At six117, we believe that gaming – whether it is placing a bet on a PSL T20 match, spinning a slot in the Game Lobby or playing a Fish Game – should always be a form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal problems. That is a straightforward principle that we take seriously on this platform.
The reality is that most players enjoy the platform without any issues. But for some people, gaming can start to feel less like fun and more like a compulsion. It can creep up gradually, often without the person realising it until real harm has already been done. We have built practical tools directly into the six117 platform to help you stay in control before things get to that point.
This page explains what responsible gaming means on six117, what tools are available to you right now, how to recognise warning signs of problem gaming, and where to get support if you or someone you care about needs it. None of this is about lecturing you – it is about giving you the resources to make informed decisions and keep gaming the enjoyable activity it is meant to be.
The tools and guidance on this page are available to every registered player at no cost. You do not need to be in crisis to use them. Many players who are managing their gaming just fine still use deposit limits and session reminders simply as a sensible habit – the same way a responsible driver sets a reminder to check fuel levels rather than waiting for the warning light to come on.
If you are a parent or guardian, there is also a section further down the page specifically about keeping younger people safe. six117 is strictly an 18+ platform. We take our age verification process seriously and encourage parents to use household-level controls alongside our platform tools.
Gaming is entertainment, not income. Never treat your six117 balance as a substitute for salary or savings. Set a budget in PKR that you are genuinely comfortable losing before you start playing.
Time flies when you are in play. Use the session timer built into your account to keep track of how long you have been active. Regular short breaks help you stay sharp and enjoy the experience more.
Chasing losses is a red flag. If you find yourself increasing your stakes to recover money you have already lost, that is one of the clearest warning signs of problem gaming. Stop, take a break and reassess.
Platform Safety Stats

Built-In Protection
Every tool listed below is available to all registered six117 players at no charge. You can activate or adjust most of them directly from your account settings without needing to contact support.
Set a maximum PKR deposit cap for any time period you choose. Once you reach your limit, deposits are blocked until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Set a maximum session length and receive a pop-up notification when your time is up. You decide whether to continue or log out. Even a short break can give you perspective on whether your gaming is staying recreational or starting to feel like something else.
While you are actively playing, periodic on-screen reminders show you how long you have been in the current session and your net gaming activity for that session. These are not interruptions – they are quick glances at the information that helps you make informed decisions mid-play.
Request a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days from your account dashboard. During this period your account remains open but deposits and bets are blocked. It gives you space to step back without committing to a permanent closure.
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion blocks your account for a period you choose – from 3 months up to 5 years. During self-exclusion you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. Promotional communications are also suspended. Contact support to activate this option.
Your full transaction and gameplay history is available in your account at any time. Reviewing your own activity regularly is one of the simplest and most effective habits for staying on top of your gaming. You can download a statement and compare it against your personal budget whenever you like.
Practical Advice
Set a PKR Budget Before You Play
Decide exactly how much PKR you are comfortable spending before you open the app or site. Stick to that number whether you win or lose.
Keep Track of Your Time
Use the session timer in your settings. It is easy to lose track of time especially during an exciting PSL match or a long slot session – the timer keeps you aware.
Never Chase Losses
Losing streaks are part of gaming. Increasing bets to recover losses is a pattern that almost always leads to bigger losses. Walk away, take a breath and come back fresh another time.
Do Not Game Under Pressure
Avoid logging in when you are emotionally stressed, tired or have had alcohol. Clear-headed decisions lead to a more enjoyable and more controlled session every time.
Keep Family in the Loop
Healthy gaming is transparent. If you feel the need to hide your activity from family members, that is a signal worth paying attention to. Openness is a good protective habit.
Treat Winnings as a Bonus
Any winnings are a pleasant surprise, not an expectation. Never count on gaming to pay bills, cover rent or generate regular income in PKR or any other form.
Schedule Gaming-Free Days
Deliberately leaving the platform alone on certain days confirms that you are in control. If a gaming-free day feels genuinely difficult, that is important information about your habits.
Use the Tools Provided
Deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are in your account for a reason. Using them is not a sign of weakness – it is a sign of self-awareness and smart play.
Know the Signs
The questions below are not a clinical diagnosis – they are prompts to help you reflect honestly on your relationship with gaming. If you find yourself saying yes to several of them, it is worth taking a step back and considering whether to use one of the tools described above or speak to someone you trust.
Do you spend more PKR on gaming than you planned to when you started the session?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down on gaming or take a break?
Have you ever tried to hide the amount of time or money you spend gaming from family or friends?
Do you find yourself returning to game again soon after a losing session specifically to win back what you lost?
Has gaming started to affect your work, studies, sleep or relationships in a noticeable way?
Do you feel a strong urge to gamble when you are stressed, bored or going through a difficult period?
Have you ever borrowed money or delayed paying important bills in order to fund gaming?
If two or more of these questions resonated with you, we strongly encourage you to use a cooling-off period or self-exclusion option available in your account, or speak with a trusted person in your life about what you are experiencing.
