At p988, we genuinely believe that gambling should be a fun, controlled activity — not a source of stress, debt, or harm. This page outlines every tool, policy, and resource p988 provides to help Pakistani players stay in control of their gaming experience. Read it, use it, and if you ever feel things are getting difficult, reach out.
Responsible gaming is not a checkbox at p988 — it is embedded into how the platform is built, how accounts are managed, and how the support team is trained.
Every p988 account registration requires identity verification that confirms the applicant is 21 years of age or older. p988 uses CNIC-based verification for Pakistani users. Accounts where age verification fails are permanently declined — there are no exceptions. If evidence of underage access is detected on an existing account, the account is immediately suspended pending review.
p988 allows players to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits directly from their account settings — controlling exactly how much money can be deposited within any given period. Loss limits can also be set, capping how much you can lose before the system automatically restricts further play. These limits take effect immediately when set and require a 7-day cooling period before they can be increased.
Players who feel they need a break from gambling — whether short-term or permanently — can activate p988's self-exclusion feature at any time. Exclusion periods range from 30 days to permanent closure. During exclusion, your account is fully locked: no logins, no deposits, no bets. p988 will also suppress all marketing communications for the duration of any self-exclusion period, regardless of your marketing preferences.
p988's platform includes configurable session time reminders that alert you when you have been playing for a specified duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom interval you set. When the reminder fires, p988 shows you your current session statistics including time played and net result, giving you a clear picture to make an informed decision about whether to continue. It is a small feature that makes a real difference.
Sometimes you need a brief pause rather than a full exclusion. p988 offers cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, or 7 days — during which your account is temporarily suspended from all gameplay and deposits. Unlike self-exclusion, cooling-off periods cannot be cancelled once activated. This "friction by design" helps prevent impulsive decisions from overriding a healthy pause.
p988's customer support team in Karachi includes staff trained specifically in responsible gaming conversations. If a player contacts support with concerns about their gambling behaviour — or if our monitoring systems flag a pattern that may indicate problem gambling — a trained support agent will reach out proactively. p988 treats these conversations with complete discretion and without judgment.
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. The following are common warning signs that gambling may be causing harm to you or someone you know. Recognising these patterns early makes a real difference.
If you are concerned about your gambling or that of a family member in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or anywhere across Pakistan, please know that help is available. p988 support can connect you with appropriate resources and activate protective account controls on your behalf.
Remember: gambling at p988 should feel like entertainment — the same way you would enjoy watching a PSL match or playing a mobile game with friends. The moment it stops feeling like entertainment, it is time to use the tools on this page.
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost — often increasing bet sizes in the process.
Gambling for much longer than you intended, or being surprised by how much time has passed during a session.
Spending less time with family or friends in Lahore, Karachi, or wherever you are based because of gambling activity.
Using money meant for rent, food, or household bills for gambling deposits, or borrowing money to fund gambling.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or low when you cannot gamble, and relying on gambling to improve your mood or escape stress.
Hiding your gambling activity from family members or being dishonest about how much time or money you are spending.
Needing to bet increasingly larger amounts to get the same level of excitement or satisfaction from gambling.
Repeatedly telling yourself you will stop or cut back, but finding yourself unable to follow through on that decision.
Every p988 account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls, accessible directly from your account settings at any time. No need to contact support — you are in control. Here is what is available to every p988 player in Pakistan right now:
Set a cap on how much PKR you can deposit within any rolling 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day period. Once set, limits cannot be increased for 7 days. Reductions take effect immediately.
Cap your daily play time. When your session limit is reached, p988 will log you out automatically — no overrides, no "are you sure?" prompts that let you bypass the limit.
Enable timed pop-up reminders at intervals you choose. Each reminder shows your current session duration, total wagered, and net result for the session.
Trigger a short mandatory break. Your account suspends immediately and cannot be reactivated until the cooling-off period expires — even if you contact support.
Initiate a formal self-exclusion from p988 account settings or by contacting support. All marketing stops, all gameplay stops, and the account is locked for the full exclusion duration.
Close your p988 account permanently at any time by contacting support. Any remaining balance will be withdrawn to your registered JazzCash or EasyPaisa account before closure.
If you have decided that a break from p988 is the right choice — whether for a month or permanently — here is exactly how to activate self-exclusion on the p988 platform. The process takes under two minutes.
Access your p988 account via the p988 Login page. Self-exclusion can only be activated by the account holder for security purposes.
In your account dashboard, navigate to Settings, then select the Responsible Gaming tab. All limit and exclusion controls are located here.
Choose your exclusion period: 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent. Read the confirmation statement carefully before proceeding.
p988 sends a one-time PIN to your registered Pakistani mobile number as confirmation. Enter the OTP to activate exclusion. It takes effect the moment you confirm.
Your account is immediately locked. You will receive a confirmation SMS. All p988 marketing is suppressed. If you need support during your exclusion period, contact [email protected].
Take a moment to honestly reflect on these questions. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a prompt for self-reflection. There are no right or wrong answers here.
Answer honestly — this information is just for you. p988 does not store or monitor your responses to these questions.
1. In the last 30 days, have you spent more on gambling than you originally planned to?
2. Have you gambled to escape stress, boredom, or problems in your daily life?
3. Have arguments about gambling occurred with family members or close friends?
4. Have you felt guilty or ashamed about your gambling habits?
5. Have you continued gambling after reaching a limit you had set for yourself?
What your answers mean: If you answered "Sometimes", "Often", or "Always" to two or more of these questions, it may be worth using p988's deposit limits or cooling-off tools, or having a confidential conversation with p988 support. There is nothing to be ashamed of — reaching out is the right move.
Responsible gambling is not about never gambling — it is about gambling in a way that keeps it enjoyable, affordable, and controlled. Whether you are betting on Pakistan Super League cricket matches, spinning slots, or playing Aviator crash games on p988, these principles apply every single session.
Preventing minors from accessing gambling content is a responsibility that p988 takes very seriously — but it also requires vigilance from account holders. Here is what p988 does and what you can do.
What p988 does: All new registrations require CNIC-based age verification confirming the applicant is 21+. p988's systems flag unusual account activity that may indicate underage access and will suspend accounts for review. p988 does not display gambling advertising on channels or platforms where the primary audience is minors.
What you can do: Enable device-level parental controls on shared smartphones or tablets. Keep your p988 login credentials private. Enable biometric or PIN login on your device. Log out of p988 after every session if your device is shared. Use strong, unique passwords for your p988 account.
If you suspect a minor has accessed gambling content through your p988 account or any other means, please contact p988 support immediately at [email protected]. We will act swiftly to secure the account and address the situation with full discretion.
p988 is Pakistan's licensed online casino and sportsbook — built with responsible gaming at its core. Set your limits, use your tools, and enjoy cricket betting, slots, Aviator, and more — all within a framework designed to keep your experience fun and in control. 21+ only. JazzCash and EasyPaisa accepted.
