Quick answers to the questions people ask us most. Each answer links to a detailed guide.
Common questions
Is online casino legal in Pakistan?
No. Gambling and betting are restricted under Pakistani law, including online. See our law guide.
Is cricket betting legal in Pakistan?
No. Betting on cricket or any other sport is covered by the same restrictions, and police regularly act against betting operations during big matches.
Does a foreign licence make an app legal here?
No. A licence from another country does not change Pakistani law.
Why do betting websites keep changing their names?
Because PTA blocks them. Changing domains is a common way to avoid blocks, and it is a warning sign.
Is a free bonus really free?
Rarely. Most bonuses have wagering rules that make withdrawal very difficult. Read the truth about bonus offers.
Can I earn money through a casino referral programme?
Referral schemes pay you from other people's losses and are part of promoting gambling, which carries legal risk in Pakistan. Promised payments are also often not made.
I sent money to a personal JazzCash or Easypaisa number for a game. What now?
Contact your wallet's official helpline immediately with the transaction ID, then file a complaint. See wallet fraud.
Where do I report an online scam?
To your wallet or bank first, then the cyber crime agency (NCCIA) and PTA for the website. See how to report.
Someone is offering to recover my lost money for a fee. Is it real?
Almost always a second scam. Official agencies do not charge for complaints.
How do I know if I have a gambling problem?
If you chase losses, hide betting, or borrow to bet, it may be a problem. Read signs and help.
