Withdrawal Limits at a Glance
Understanding Bonus Balance vs. Real Balance
Before troubleshooting withdrawals, understand this: your wallet may show two types of balance your main balance (real deposited or won money) and your bonus balance (credits from welcome bonuses, referral commissions, etc.).
Bonus balance cannot be withdrawn directly. It must be "played through" a certain number of times before it converts into withdrawable funds. For example: a PKR 500 bonus with 10x wagering means you must place PKR 5,000 in total bets before that bonus becomes cashable.
If your withdrawal keeps getting blocked and you're not sure why check whether most of your balance is bonus funds. That's usually the reason.
Withdrawal Problems and Solutions
Problem: "Minimum withdrawal amount not met"
- Your balance is below the current minimum threshold
- Play or earn more until your main balance reaches the minimum shown in the app
Problem: Withdrawal submitted but nothing received after 24 hours
- Go to Wallet → Withdrawal History and check the status of your request
- If status shows "Pending" it's still being processed. Wait a few more hours.
- If status shows "Rejected" or "Failed" see below
- Contact support with your withdrawal request ID and registered mobile number
Problem: Withdrawal rejected
- Confirm your registered mobile number matches your JazzCash/EasyPaisa number exactly
- Check if you've met the wagering requirements on any bonus balance
- Verify your account is fully verified (some platforms require a verification step for larger withdrawals)
- Check if you've exceeded the daily withdrawal limit
Problem: Withdrawal failed due to number mismatch
- Go to your account settings and check the mobile number on file
- If it's wrong or outdated, contact support to update it most platforms require support assistance to change a linked number for security reasons
- Once corrected, try the withdrawal again
Problem: Asked to pay a fee to process the withdrawal
- Do not pay anything. This is not how legitimate withdrawals work.
- A genuine platform releases your funds without any charge
- If you're being asked to pay a "tax," "verification fee," or "processing charge" to receive money you've already earned, stop all activity on the account immediately
- Do not send any further money to any number provided for this purpose
Problem: Withdrawal goes to wrong number
- If you entered the wrong number yourself: contact support immediately with your withdrawal request ID resolution depends on whether funds have already been sent
- If the platform sent to a wrong number despite correct details being entered: this is a support escalation document everything and report it
Problem: Daily limit reached
- You've hit the maximum withdrawal amount allowed in a 24-hour window
- The limit resets daily check the app for the exact reset time
- Plan larger withdrawals in advance by splitting them across days if necessary

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use one account on two phones? Yes. Log in with your registered number and password on any Android device. If you have session issues, log out on one device before signing in on another.
Why is my balance not matching what I think I earned? Check whether your balance includes both main funds and bonus funds separately. Bonus funds have conditions attached and display differently in the wallet.
Can I play without depositing money? After registration, check if free daily spins or demo access is available for any game. Some categories have this; others require a deposit to play.
How do I get my invite/referral code? After logging in, go to your profile and look for a "Share," "Invite," or "Referral" section. Your unique code is generated there. Do not use codes from third-party websites they're frequently expired.
The app isn't working after a phone reset what do I do? Reinstall the APK from the official website. Your account data is stored on the platform's servers, so logging in with your registered number and password restores your account completely.
Why does my withdrawal take longer some days than others? Processing times vary based on platform load and your mobile wallet's network status. Weekends and late nights sometimes take longer. If it's been over 24 hours, contact support.
Can I change my registered mobile number? You cannot change it yourself inside the app. Submit a request through customer support they handle number changes manually for security reasons.
What happens if the app gets blocked by PTA? Access to the platform may become restricted through regular internet. Users sometimes use a VPN to bypass such blocks. However, this is your decision to make with full awareness a blocked app means the platform is operating outside what local authorities have approved.
