Age Policy

Strictly 21+ Only — No Exceptions

3pate operates an absolute minimum age policy of 21 years. This is not a recommendation — it is a hard requirement enforced at registration through our KYC verification process. No account may be created, funded, or used for betting or casino play by anyone under 21.

Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended. All deposits will be returned where legally possible, and all winnings generated during the period will be voided without exception.

If you are a parent or guardian in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or anywhere else in Pakistan and you believe a minor may have accessed 3pate using your details or a device in your home, contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We act on all verified reports without delay.

21+
Minimum Age Requirement

3pate is a platform intended purely for adult entertainment. By registering an account, every player confirms they are at least 21 years of age and legally permitted to participate in online gaming activities in their jurisdiction. Age verification documents are required before any withdrawal can be processed.

CNIC / Passport Required Document Verification Mandatory KYC

Player Protection Tools

Six Tools to Keep You in Control

3pate builds responsible gaming features directly into your account dashboard — no need to call support or wait. Every tool below is accessible from your settings panel, effective immediately upon activation.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 3pate account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for 24 hours — giving you a genuine cooling-off window before any change upward kicks in. Decreases apply instantly. Whether you prefer depositing in USDT, JazzCash, or EasyPaisa, your limit applies across all payment methods.

Session Time Limits

Define the maximum time you want to spend on the 3pate platform in a single session. When your limit is reached, you will receive a notification and the option to continue or stop. This tool is especially useful for players who tend to lose track of time during late-night cricket betting sessions or extended slot gameplay on their mobile from Lahore or Faisalabad.

Reality Checks

Reality checks are timed pop-up notifications that appear at intervals you choose — every 30 minutes, every hour, or every 2 hours. Each notification shows you how long you have been playing and how your session balance has changed. It is a simple but highly effective nudge to take a break, grab chai, and reassess whether you still want to continue playing.

Cool-Off Periods

Need a short break without fully closing your account? 3pate's cool-off feature lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, your account is completely locked — no deposits, no bets, no casino games. Your balance remains intact and the account resumes automatically when the period ends, unless you extend or escalate to self-exclusion.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is 3pate's most powerful responsible gaming tool. When activated, your account is permanently locked for a minimum period of 6 months, up to a maximum of 5 years. During this period, 3pate will make all reasonable efforts to prevent you from creating new accounts on the platform. Re-registration attempts during a self-exclusion period will be blocked and the account closed immediately. This tool is for players who recognise a serious problem and need firm intervention.

Loss Limits

Set a cap on how much you are willing to lose within a defined time period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further bets or play casino games until the period resets. Like deposit limits, decreases apply immediately while increases require a 24-hour waiting period to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of a bad session.

Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling Behaviour

Gambling becomes a problem when it stops being fun and starts affecting your finances, relationships, mental health, or daily responsibilities. These warning signs apply whether you are betting on PSL matches from Karachi or playing slots late at night in Lahore.

Spending more money than you planned or can comfortably afford
Chasing losses by placing bigger bets to "win it back"
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Hiding your gambling activity from family or close friends
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
Neglecting work, studies, or family obligations to gamble
Gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems
Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
Losing interest in hobbies, social activities, or relationships due to gambling
Lying to yourself or others about how much time and money you spend
Continuing to gamble despite significant financial or personal consequences
Feeling that you need to gamble with increasing amounts to get the same excitement

If you recognise three or more of these signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to take a break. 3pate's self-exclusion tool is available instantly through your account settings. You can also reach our support team via live chat 24/7. Asking for help is a sign of strength — not weakness.


Self Assessment

Quick Self-Check: Is My Gambling in Control?

Take a moment to reflect honestly on the questions on the right. If you answer "Yes" to any of them, we encourage you to take action — whether that means setting a limit, taking a cool-off break, or reaching out to our support team.

This self-assessment is not a diagnostic tool. It is a simple prompt to encourage honest reflection. For a comprehensive assessment, international resources like GamCare and Gamblers Anonymous offer structured evaluations by qualified professionals.

Reflect honestly — tick any that apply to you
Have you ever spent more on gambling than you originally intended to in a single session?
Have you ever felt the urge to immediately deposit again after a loss to try and recover it?
Has gambling caused you financial stress, including difficulty meeting regular household expenses?
Have you hidden the amount of time or money you spend gambling from someone close to you?
Do you feel restless, bored, or low when you are not able to gamble for a period of time?
Have you ever gambled to escape worries, stress, or difficult feelings rather than purely for fun?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling and found it harder than expected to follow through?

If you ticked even one of the above, consider activating a deposit limit or cool-off period right now through your 3pate account settings. It takes less than 60 seconds and could make a real difference.


Full Tool Reference

How Each Protection Tool Works

A complete breakdown of every responsible gaming tool available to 3pate players — what it does, how it works, and when you should use it.

Tool 01
Deposit Limits — Daily / Weekly / Monthly

Caps the total amount you can deposit into your 3pate account within a defined time window. Applies across all payment channels including USDT, Bitcoin, JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank. Any attempt to deposit beyond your set limit will be blocked automatically. Increases to limits require a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before taking effect; decreases are instant.

Tool 02
Loss Limits — Daily / Weekly / Monthly

Restricts the total net losses you can accumulate within a chosen period. Once you hit your loss limit, betting and casino gameplay is suspended for the remainder of the period. This is distinct from deposit limits — a player can deposit funds but still be restricted from playing if their loss threshold has been reached. The same cooling-off rules apply for limit increases.

Tool 03
Session Time Limits

Automatically logs you out of your 3pate session after a maximum duration you define — between 30 minutes and 12 hours. You will receive a 5-minute warning before the session ends. After logout, you may choose to log back in immediately, but the tool will prompt you to confirm you want to continue, encouraging a conscious decision rather than passive continuation.

Tool 04
Reality Check Notifications

Scheduled in-session notifications delivered at 30-minute, 60-minute, or 2-hour intervals. Each notification displays your total session time, your net balance change during the session, and a prompt to either continue or take a break. Designed to disrupt autopilot gameplay patterns that are common in slot sessions and live dealer tables.

Tool 05
Cool-Off Period (Short-Term Account Pause)

Temporarily locks your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account and balance are preserved but no activity is possible during the pause. Marketing and promotional communications are also suspended during a cool-off period. The account reopens automatically at the end of the period. This tool is ideal for players who want a structured break without permanently closing their account.

Tool 06
Self-Exclusion (Long-Term Account Closure)

The strongest intervention available. Self-exclusion locks your account for a minimum of 6 months and up to 5 years. 3pate will take all reasonable technical and procedural steps to prevent you from creating new accounts during this period. All marketing communications cease permanently. Upon expiry of a self-exclusion period, reinstatement requires a manual review process with a mandatory 24-hour reflection period before any play is permitted. This tool is irreversible for its chosen duration — it cannot be cancelled or reduced once activated.


Protecting Minors

Parental Controls & Minor Protection

3pate takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. If you share a device at home in Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Multan, or anywhere else in Pakistan, we strongly recommend implementing parental controls to prevent underage access to gambling platforms.

Several free and paid parental control solutions are available that can block access to online gambling websites at the device or router level. While 3pate cannot endorse specific third-party tools, we encourage all parents and guardians to:

  • Keep your 3pate login credentials private and never share them with younger household members
  • Use device-level screen time and content filtering tools available on Android and iOS
  • Activate browser-level content restrictions on shared home computers
  • Talk openly with young family members about responsible attitudes toward money and online entertainment
  • Contact 3pate support immediately if you suspect underage access has occurred on your account
If You Suspect Underage Access

If you believe someone under the age of 21 has accessed or created a 3pate account — whether using your identity, a family device, or independently — please take the following steps immediately:

1
Contact 3pate support via live chat or email at [email protected] and report the situation with as much detail as possible.
2
Change your 3pate account password immediately to prevent further access from the same device.
3
Our team will investigate the account, suspend access, and handle any associated funds in accordance with our minor protection policy.
