Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment
At done22, we genuinely believe that gaming — whether you are betting on a PSL T20 match, spinning slots, playing Live Casino or enjoying a Bingo session — should be something you do because it is enjoyable, not because you feel you have to. The moment it stops being fun and starts feeling like an obligation or a way to chase losses, something has shifted and it is worth paying attention to that.
Pakistan has a growing community of online gaming and sports betting enthusiasts. Most players engage with platforms like done22 in a healthy, casual way — they set a budget in PKR, enjoy the experience and walk away when their session is done. But we know that for some people, especially when real money is involved and exciting matches are on — a PSL final, a T20 World Cup game — the lines can blur. This page is here to help you maintain those boundaries clearly, before any problems develop.
Important: Gaming should be funded only with money you can comfortably afford to lose. Never use rent, utility bills, grocery money, loan amounts or funds meant for your family's expenses to deposit on done22. Set a realistic PKR entertainment budget before you play — and stick to it.
Setting a Realistic PKR Gaming Budget
The single most effective responsible gaming habit is deciding on a budget before you open the app — not after you have already started playing. Think of your gaming budget the same way you think about money you would spend on a cinema ticket, a meal out or a cricket match ticket. It is an entertainment expense. Once it is gone, the session is over.
A practical approach that works well for many players is to divide your monthly discretionary income into categories. Set aside a fixed amount for gaming — something modest that genuinely will not affect your daily life if you lose it entirely. For some players in Pakistan that might be PKR 500, for others PKR 2,000 or PKR 5,000. The exact number matters far less than the fact that it is a number you have consciously decided on.

This is an illustrative example only. Your own budget should reflect your actual income and responsibilities.
Managing Your Time on done22
Time management matters just as much as budget management. It is surprisingly easy to spend longer on a gaming platform than you intended — especially during live sports events like PSL matches or an exciting T20 run chase. Here are some habits that help players keep their sessions at a healthy length:
- Decide how long you will play before you start — set an alarm on your phone if it helps.
- Use done22's session reminders so the platform itself nudges you when your set time is up.
- Avoid gaming late at night when you are tired — decisions made when exhausted are rarely your best ones.
- Take regular breaks during sessions. Step away, have some chai, and come back with a clear head.
- Never play to recover losses from a previous session — chasing is one of the most common patterns that leads to problems.
Keeping Gaming and Real Life Separate
Responsible gaming means keeping your hobby in its proper place — as one small, enjoyable part of a balanced life. When gaming starts to take up mental space during work, family time or sleep, that is a sign the balance has shifted. You should not be thinking about done22 while you are at the office, during family meals or lying awake at night replaying bets in your head.
If you find yourself doing any of those things regularly, it is a good moment to take a break. Use the Take a Break feature in your account, talk to someone you trust, or contact done22 support to discuss account cooling-off options. There is no shame in recognising that something is pulling more of your attention than it should — acting on it early is the smart move.
Remember: Losses on done22 are real money losses. No bonus, no promotion and no "winning streak" changes that fundamental reality. Always play with money you are comfortable never seeing again — because that is genuinely a possible outcome every single time you place a bet.
Protecting Young People and Vulnerable Players
done22 is an 18+ platform without exception. If you share a device with younger family members, please ensure your done22 account is protected by a strong, private password that others cannot guess. Log out of your account after every session on shared devices. Never share your login credentials with anyone — including friends or family members who may be curious about the platform.
We also recognise that certain life circumstances — financial stress, relationship difficulties, mental health challenges — can make impulsive gambling more likely. If you are going through a difficult period, we encourage you to use our self-exclusion or Take a Break tools proactively, rather than waiting until gaming becomes an additional source of stress.
