At 88et, gambling is entertainment – full stop. It is not a way to earn income, solve financial problems, or chase losses. This page explains the tools we have built into every 88et account to help Pakistani players stay in control of their gambling. If you ever feel that gambling is becoming anything other than recreational fun, the tools described here are available in your account settings right now, and our support team is on live chat 24/7.
Responsible gaming is something 88et takes seriously as a matter of core policy, not just a legal checkbox. We genuinely want every Pakistani player on our platform to have a positive experience – and that means making sure gambling never crosses the line from entertainment into harm.
For most players, betting on PSL cricket or spinning a slot on 88et is straightforward recreation – the same as watching a match or going to the cinema. You spend what you can afford, you enjoy the experience, and you walk away when you feel like it. That is exactly what gambling should be. The problems start when gambling becomes compulsive – when the urge to play overrides rational decision-making about money, time, and relationships.
Research consistently shows that responsible gambling tools – deposit limits, session timers, reality checks, and self-exclusion – are genuinely effective at helping players stay in control when they are used early and proactively. 88et has built all of these tools directly into the account settings panel. You do not need to contact support to activate them; you can set a deposit limit or start a cooling-off period yourself in under a minute.
Pakistan has a large and enthusiastic cricket-following population from Karachi to Islamabad, and sports betting is deeply woven into how many fans engage with the game. 88et respects that – but we also know that financial pressure is real for many families across the country. We would rather a player set a Rs 500 weekly deposit limit and stay with us for years than deposit beyond their means and regret it. Long-term enjoyment is the goal. The responsible gaming tools on this page are how we try to make that happen.

I have spent more on gambling than I planned to.
I have borrowed money or sold something to fund gambling.
I have lied to family members about how much I gamble.
I feel anxious, irritable, or restless when I cannot gamble.
I have tried to win back money I lost (chasing losses).
Gambling is affecting my work, studies, or relationships.
I have gambled to escape stress, worry, or problems at home.
This is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis. If any of these apply to you, please use the self-exclusion or deposit limit tools in your 88et account settings, or contact our support team via live chat.
All tools below are available directly in your account settings panel. No special request needed – set them yourself, instantly.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly PKR deposit cap. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases have a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive changes.
Set a maximum session length after which you are automatically logged out of 88et. You decide how long is enough per sitting – 30 minutes, one hour, or more. A warning notification appears five minutes before the session ends.
Enable periodic pop-up reminders that tell you how long you have been playing and your net session result. Reality checks help break the trance-like focus that can develop during extended play and bring you back to a conscious decision about whether to continue.
Take a break from 88et for a defined period – 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During a cooling-off period your account remains open but deposits and gameplay are disabled. The period cannot be shortened once activated.
Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming tool 88et offers. When you self-exclude, your account is completely blocked – you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets for the entire exclusion period. This is the right choice if you feel that shorter cooling-off periods or deposit limits are not enough to keep your gambling under control.
Self-exclusion options at 88et:
All self-exclusion requests take effect immediately upon confirmation. The exclusion period cannot be lifted early under any circumstances. Any winnings accrued in a self-excluded account will be returned (minus bonus funds). If you attempt to open a new 88et account while under self-exclusion, that account will be closed and any deposited funds returned. To request self-exclusion, go to your account settings panel or contact our live chat support team.
All responsible gaming tools are in your account settings. Here is how to reach them:
Access your account via the 88et Login page. Use your registered Pakistani mobile number and password.
Click your account avatar or username in the top-right corner of the platform. Select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Find the "Responsible Gaming" tab in your settings panel. All tools – deposit limits, session limits, reality checks, cooling-off, and self-exclusion – are listed here.
Select the tool you want to activate, enter your preferred parameters (amount, duration), and confirm. Restrictive changes take effect immediately.
If you cannot access your account or need urgent self-exclusion, contact our 24/7 live chat support. The team will action it immediately on your behalf.
Protecting minors is a non-negotiable commitment at 88et. No exceptions.
Registration on 88et requires confirmation that you are 18 or older. Date of birth is collected at signup and used in our KYC verification process. Accounts confirmed as underage are immediately closed.
KYC document checks – including CNIC or passport – may be requested before any withdrawal is processed. These checks confirm age and identity and apply to all Pakistani players regardless of account history.
If you share a device with younger family members in your Karachi, Lahore, or Rawalpindi home, please use device-level parental control software to prevent minors from accessing 88et and similar platforms.
If you believe a minor has accessed 88et, contact our support team immediately via live chat. We take all such reports seriously and investigate promptly. The minor's account will be closed and data removed.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. These are the warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone close to you:
Repeatedly betting more to try to recover previous losses. This is one of the clearest signs of problem gambling and tends to compound losses rather than reverse them.
Depositing money needed for bills, rent, food, or family responsibilities. Gambling should only ever be funded from true discretionary income.
Hiding gambling activity, amounts wagered, or losses from family members. Healthy gambling is transparent; compulsive gambling tends to hide itself.
Continuing to gamble despite wanting to stop, or feeling unable to walk away when planned. If you have tried to cut down and could not, please use the self-exclusion tool immediately.
If you are struggling with gambling, you are not alone and there is no shame in asking for help. Here is how to take the next step:
Our 24/7 English-language support team handles responsible gaming requests as a priority. Reach us via live chat in the platform at any time. We can activate self-exclusion, deposit limits, or cooling-off periods on your behalf immediately if you cannot access your account settings.
Many Pakistani players find that talking openly to a trusted family member – a parent, spouse, or sibling – is the most effective first step. Bringing the issue into the open removes the shame and isolation that can make problem gambling worse. If you are based in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or anywhere else in Pakistan, a trusted family conversation is always available to you.
If live chat feels difficult, you can also write to us at [email protected] (plain text – not a link). Mark your message as a responsible gaming request and our team will respond within 24 hours with next-step guidance and account tools activation. Your privacy is fully protected.
88et is at its best when it is fun. Log in, set your deposit limit, and enjoy cricket betting, live casino, and slots with the confidence that your responsible gaming tools are ready whenever you need them.
18+Gambling can be addictive. Please play responsibly and within your means. If gambling is a problem, use the self-exclusion tools in your account settings.
