Playing Astronaut responsibly from Pakistan: how a crash game pulls you in, and where to get help in Urdu
Astronaut is built to be fast: rounds follow one another after a short countdown, Autobet repeats your bet, and a Live bets feed shows other players’ stakes. That design does not cause harm by itself, but it removes natural stopping points, so the limits have to come from you. The status first: online gambling is not legal or regulated in Pakistan and no operator holds a Pakistani licence, there is no national gambling helpline and no self-exclusion register, and the age limit is 18. This guide covers the maths of time and money and the help that exists, in Urdu too.
How does a crash game like Astronaut pull you in?
Each feature below is documented in the official client or on 100HP’s site, and each answers a different question: when does a round end, and when do you?
| Feature of the game | What it does | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Short countdown between rounds | A new round starts soon after the last one; 100HP calls it the fastest crash game on the market | Few natural pauses to ask whether to continue |
| Autobet | Repeats the same bet in every round | Rounds pass without a decision from you |
| Two bet panels | Two bets in the same flight | Doubles the money in play per round |
| Live bets and Chat | The feed lists bets and wins of others; 100HP invites you to “follow High Rollers” | Wins of others are visible, which can push you to chase |
| Last rounds chips | Coloured chips for finished flights | Invites searching for patterns that do not predict the next flight |
For you: none of these features is a trick; each is a reason to set the stopping rule before you open the game, not while the multiplier is climbing. The client v2 guide describes Autobet and Autowithdrawal in detail.
What does a 98% RTP cost you in an hour?
RTP is the share of staked money returned over a very long run, so every rupee staked carries an expected loss. 100HP does not publish the length of a round; the table assumes one round every 30 or 60 seconds, which is an illustration, not a measurement. One hour of play can end far from these averages in either direction.
| Bet per round | Round every | Staked in one hour | Expected loss at 98% | Expected loss at 96% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rs 100 | 30 seconds | Rs 12,000 | Rs 240 | Rs 480 |
| Rs 100 | 60 seconds | Rs 6,000 | Rs 120 | Rs 240 |
| Rs 500 | 30 seconds | Rs 60,000 | Rs 1,200 | Rs 2,400 |
| Rs 500 | 60 seconds | Rs 30,000 | Rs 600 | Rs 1,200 |
| Rs 1,000 | 30 seconds | Rs 120,000 | Rs 2,400 | Rs 4,800 |
| Rs 1,000 | 60 seconds | Rs 60,000 | Rs 1,200 | Rs 2,400 |
The 96% column matters because a casino can run a lower configuration than the declared 98%, as the RTP guide explains. For you: the expected loss grows with the total amount staked, so a fast game with Autobet reaches it sooner than a slow one.
Which limits should you set before round one?
- Fix a loss budget in rupees.Choose an amount you can lose completely without borrowing, and keep it apart from rent, bills and school fees.
- Set a clock.Use a phone alarm for 30 or 60 minutes. When it rings, finish the round and leave.
- Keep Autobet off at first.Switch it on only after you can say, without scrolling, how much you have staked in the session.
- Read Game limits.Note the bet range and the maximum payout in the casino’s currency before the first bet.
- Ask the operator for its own tools.Deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion exist only at the operator. Ask in writing and keep the reply.
- Write the rules down.A note with the budget, the clock and the stopping rule is easier to follow than a decision made at 2.00x.

Play Astronaut with the bonusWhat are the warning signs that play has stopped being entertainment?
These signs come from general addiction guidance, not from a Pakistani statistic, and any one of them is enough to talk to someone:
- You play longer or stake more than you planned, and the plan keeps moving.
- You chase a loss by raising the bet in the next rounds.
- You borrow money, sell something or use money meant for bills.
- You hide the time or the amounts from family.
- You feel restless or irritable when you stop, or think about the next round during work or study.
For you: there is no fee and no registration for talking to a service in the next section. If a loss has made you think of harming yourself, call the crisis line at once.
Where can you get help in Pakistan, and in Urdu?
Pakistan has no national gambling helpline. The services below exist and are free; check the hours before you call.
| Service | What it offers | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Gambling Therapy, gamblingtherapy.org/ur | Free, confidential text support for anyone in the world, with advisers and translation in more than 200 languages, forums and a self-assessment; email [email protected] | Live chat 9 am to 2 am on weekdays, 10 am to 10 pm at weekends, UK time |
| Umang Pakistan, 0311-7786264 | Free mental-health and suicide-prevention crisis line with clinical psychologists; it is not a gambling helpline | 24 hours, 7 days |
| Taskeen Health Initiative, 0316 8275336 | Free counselling line | Monday to Saturday, 11 am to 11 pm |
| Rozan Counselling Helpline, 0800-22-444 | Toll-free counselling line | Monday to Friday, 9:30 am to 5 pm |

We could confirm the Umang number only through secondary sources and the organisation’s website certificate had expired when we checked, so if a call does not connect, try Taskeen next. For you: Gambling Therapy is the only service on this list that is built for gambling and works in Urdu through its Urdu page.
Why is there no self-exclusion register, and what replaces it?
Pakistan has no regulator, so there is nobody to keep a register. Press coverage in 2025 notes that players facing gambling addiction “do not have access to self-exclusion or any other programme”. What remains is what you can arrange yourself and what an operator will do on request.
- At the operator: ask in writing for a deposit limit, a time-out or account closure; keep the reply.
- On your phone: remove the saved wallet number and the bookmark, and uninstall any APK that mirrors the game, as in the APK and clones guide.
- In your wallet: turn off any auto top-up; decide a daily transfer ceiling in the wallet’s settings.
- With another person: tell one adult you trust the budget and the clock.
The age limit is 18 under section 3 of the Majority Act 1875. For you: a limit you set with the operator is the only limit enforced for you, and in an offshore setting nobody in Pakistan can force the operator to honour it. See the legal-status guide for what that means.
What should you do next?
Write down your loss budget and your clock, then leave this page and set them in your phone. If any warning sign applies, call Taskeen on 0316 8275336 or open Gambling Therapy before you play again. The site’s responsible-gambling page repeats the help list. Come back to the walkthrough of one round only when the limits are in place.

What else do players ask about responsible play?
Is there a gambling helpline in Pakistan?
No national one. Gambling Therapy at gamblingtherapy.org/ur offers free text support worldwide with Urdu through translation, live chat 9 am to 2 am on weekdays, UK time. For a crisis, Umang answers 24 hours a day on 0311-7786264. Taskeen, on 0316 8275336, covers Monday to Saturday, 11 am to 11 pm.
Is Umang a gambling helpline?
No. Umang Pakistan is a mental-health and suicide-prevention crisis line, free and open 24 hours a day with clinical psychologists, on 0311-7786264. Use it when a loss makes you think of harming yourself. For gambling-specific support, use Gambling Therapy; the Umang number is confirmed only by secondary sources.
Can I exclude myself from gambling in Pakistan?
Not through a register: Pakistan has no regulator and no national self-exclusion scheme. Only the operator can close your account or set a deposit limit, on request. Because operators serving Pakistan are offshore, ask in writing and keep the reply. Gambling Therapy at gamblingtherapy.org/ur can help you plan the next step in Urdu.
How much can I expect to lose per hour on Astronaut?
At the declared RTP of 98% and a round every 60 seconds, a Rs 500 bet means Rs 30,000 staked in an hour and an expected loss of Rs 600; at 96% it is Rs 1,200. Round length is our assumption, and a real hour can end far above or below the average.
