Responsible Gaming at 88et
Play Smart, Stay Safe

88et believes that gaming should always be entertaining — never a source of stress, financial pressure, or harm. Our responsible gaming framework gives Pakistani players the tools, knowledge, and support needed to keep their experience on the platform enjoyable, controlled, and well within healthy boundaries. Because when you play well, everyone wins.

Strictly 21+ Only — No Exceptions at 88et

Access to all 88et services — including slots, cricket betting, live dealer games, and the Pearls of Bingo section — is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This is a hard requirement, not a guideline. Every player must verify their age during the KYC process by submitting a valid CNIC or passport. Any account found to be operated by someone under 21 will be immediately closed, and any funds will be handled in accordance with 88et's Terms & Conditions. If you know someone under 21 who is attempting to access 88et, please report it to our support team right away.

Our Responsible Gaming Commitments

Six pillars of safe and responsible play at 88et — built for Pakistani players

🔞
Strict Age Verification

No player under 21 may access 88et's platform. We conduct mandatory CNIC or passport verification for every new account during KYC. Players who cannot verify their age are permanently declined access — no exceptions, no workarounds. Protecting young people from gambling harm is our baseline responsibility.

🚧
Self-Exclusion Programme

Any 88et player can voluntarily exclude themselves from the platform for a chosen period — from 24 hours up to permanent exclusion. During a self-exclusion period, your account is fully suspended: no login, no deposits, no bonus offers, no marketing communications. Simply contact our 24/7 live chat to activate self-exclusion.

💰
Deposit & Loss Limits

88et players can set personal deposit limits (daily, weekly, or monthly) directly from account settings. Loss limits can also be configured so the platform automatically halts play once a threshold is reached. These limits take effect immediately and require a 24-hour cooling-off period to increase — but they can be decreased instantly.

⏱️
Session Time Controls

Losing track of time is one of the most common early signs of problematic gaming. 88et's session timer feature lets players set a maximum session length after which the platform will display a reminder or automatically log them out. You can access session controls from the responsible gaming section of your 88et account dashboard.

🧠
Reality Checks & Activity Logs

88et provides players with clear records of their betting history, deposit totals, withdrawal totals, and time spent on the platform. Regular reality-check pop-ups can be enabled to remind players how long they have been active and how much they have wagered during the current session — keeping you informed at all times.

🤝
Urdu-Speaking Support Team

Our 24/7 customer support team includes Pakistani-fluent agents who understand the cultural and local context of responsible gaming concerns in Pakistan. Whether you are in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, or anywhere else, you can reach our team via live chat for confidential, compassionate support without judgement.

Responsible Gaming Tools — How They Work

Step-by-step guide to activating each protection tool inside your 88et account

  • Select "Responsible Gaming"
  • Choose "Self-Exclusion" and pick duration

  • Select "Deposit Limits"
  • Choose daily / weekly / monthly

⏱️
Session Timer

  • Go to Account > Responsible Gaming
  • Select "Take a Break"
  • Pick your cooling-off duration
  • Confirm — account locks immediately
  • Reactivates automatically when period ends
Warning Signs

Know When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to spot in yourself. At 88et, we want every Pakistani player to be aware of the early warning signs. If any of the following sound familiar, please reach out to our support team immediately — or contact our self-exclusion tool right away.

1
Chasing Losses

Continuing to play specifically to win back money that has already been lost, rather than for entertainment — a classic early indicator of problem gambling behaviour.

2
Gambling With Bill Money

Using funds meant for household expenses, rent, utility bills, school fees, or family commitments to fund gambling activity at any platform, including 88et.

3
Hiding Gambling Activity

Feeling the need to conceal gaming sessions, deposits, or losses from family members or close friends is a strong signal that gambling may be becoming a problem.

4
Unable to Stop Playing

Finding it difficult or impossible to stop a gaming session even when you have intended to, or regularly breaking your own self-imposed time or spending limits.

5
Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, neglecting family responsibilities, or withdrawing from social activities in Karachi, Lahore, or wherever you live due to time spent gambling online.

6
Borrowing Money to Gamble

Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit to fund gambling activity — especially when existing funds have already been exhausted through play.

Self-Assessment

Is Your Gaming Under Control?

Reflect honestly on these questions. There are no right or wrong answers — only honest ones.

1

Do you often spend more money on 88et (or other platforms) than you originally planned before starting a session?

2

Have you ever felt anxious, restless, or irritable when you tried to reduce the amount of time or money you spend on gambling?

3

Have you gambled as a way to escape stress, personal problems, or feelings of depression or loneliness?

4

Have you lied to family members about how much time or money you spend on online gaming or betting activities?

5

Has gambling caused you to miss important commitments — family occasions, work deadlines, prayer times, or financial obligations?

6

After a big win, did you feel a strong urge to keep playing rather than stopping and enjoying the win?

If you answered "yes" to two or more of the above questions, it may be time to use one of 88et's responsible gaming tools or speak with a support agent. Our live chat team is available 24/7, fully confidential, and can walk you through your options — including self-exclusion and cooling-off periods — at no judgement and no cost.

Responsible Gaming — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Pakistani 88et players about our safe gaming policies

Self-exclusion can be activated in two ways. The quickest method is to contact 88et's 24/7 live chat support team, identify yourself, and request self-exclusion along with your chosen duration. Our agents can activate it for you within minutes. Alternatively, log in to your 88et account, go to Account Settings, select the Responsible Gaming section, and choose Self-Exclusion. Select your preferred period — from 24 hours up to permanent exclusion — and confirm with an SMS OTP. The exclusion takes effect immediately. During the period:
  • Your account is locked and cannot be logged into
  • No deposits can be made from your registered payment methods
  • All marketing communications from 88et are paused
  • Active bonuses are forfeited in line with our Terms & Conditions

No. Once a self-exclusion period is activated on your 88et account, it cannot be reversed, shortened, or bypassed before the chosen end date. This is intentional — the entire purpose of self-exclusion is to create a firm, reliable barrier during a period when you have decided you need a break. If you chose a permanent self-exclusion, re-registering with another account using the same identity details is also prohibited and will result in that account being closed upon detection. After a non-permanent self-exclusion period ends, you may contact support to request account reactivation, which includes a mandatory responsible gaming conversation with our team.

The minimum age to access any 88et service is 21 years. This applies to all game types on the platform — slots, live casino, cricket betting, Pearls of Bingo, and all promotional activities. Age is verified by submitting a valid CNIC or passport during the KYC process. Accounts that cannot complete age verification are declined. If 88et discovers that an underage individual has accessed the platform, the account is closed immediately, and the matter is treated with the utmost seriousness. Parents or guardians concerned about a minor accessing 88et should contact our support team right away.

Yes, deposit limits can be adjusted after they are set — but with an important protective asymmetry. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately. If you want to lower your daily deposit cap from Rs 10,000 to Rs 5,000, that change is live right away. However, increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the higher limit takes effect. This delay is deliberate — it prevents impulsive decisions made during a losing session from bypassing the very protection the limit was designed to provide. The same principle applies to loss limits and wager limits.

88et treats responsible gaming data — including self-exclusion requests, limit settings, and support conversations — with strict confidentiality. This data is not shared with third-party marketers. In cases where 88et is legally required to cooperate with regulatory authorities or law enforcement, data may be disclosed as required by applicable law. Where 88et participates in shared self-exclusion registers as part of international gaming standards compliance, your exclusion status may be shared with those systems to prevent access to other participating platforms. Please read our Privacy Policy for full details on how your personal data is handled.

If you suspect a family member or close friend is struggling with problem gambling, the most important thing you can do is approach the conversation with patience and without judgement. Gambling addiction carries significant stigma in Pakistani society, which can make it harder for affected individuals to speak openly. You can:
  • Contact 88et's support team on their behalf to discuss account restrictions or exclusion options (account holder consent may be required for certain actions)
  • Encourage them to use 88et's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools themselves
  • Seek guidance from a qualified mental health professional in your city
  • Encourage open, non-confrontational family dialogue about the impact of gambling behaviour
Our support team can also provide guidance to concerned family members, even if they are not 88et account holders themselves.
