At 88gj, gambling is meant to be entertainment — nothing more. We believe every player in Pakistan deserves a safe, controlled, and enjoyable experience. This page outlines our commitment to responsible gaming, the tools available to you, and how to recognise when gambling may no longer be staying fun.
Responsible gaming is not a box-ticking exercise at 88gj — it is baked into how the platform is designed and operated. Whether you are betting on PSL cricket from Lahore, spinning slots from Karachi, or playing live casino from Islamabad, these protections apply to you equally.
Every new 88gj player undergoes mandatory identity and age verification using CNIC or passport documentation. No one under 21 can access real-money gaming on the platform — full stop.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly PKR deposit limits directly from your account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit has a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before it activates.
If gambling is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude for a set period — 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During exclusion, your account is locked and all marketing communications are suspended.
Set a maximum session duration so the platform automatically alerts you when your playing time is up. A clear on-screen reminder appears before your session expires, giving you a moment to step back and reflect.
Enable periodic reality-check notifications that pause your session and display your net win/loss position. This keeps you grounded and helps you make informed decisions rather than chasing losses impulsively.
Our support team is available around the clock via live chat. If you feel your gambling is getting out of hand, reach out immediately. Our trained agents can activate limits, arrange a cooling-off period, or process a self-exclusion request on the spot.
88gj gives you a full toolkit to manage your gambling activity. All of the following tools are accessible directly from your account dashboard — no need to contact support unless you want immediate assistance.
Cap the total amount you can deposit into your 88gj account per day, week, or month in PKR. Reductions apply instantly; increases require a 24-hour wait.
Set a maximum PKR loss threshold per session or per day. When you hit it, you are automatically logged out until your limit period resets.
Take a short break — 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days — without triggering a full self-exclusion. Your account is suspended for the chosen duration.
For longer breaks, choose a formal self-exclusion of 30 days up to permanent closure. This also halts all promotional emails and SMS notifications.
Set how long each gaming session can last. When time runs out, the platform flags a warning and gives you the option to end or extend — consciously.
Review your full betting and gaming history including total wagered amounts, wins, losses, and time spent — all in PKR and local time.
Disable promotional SMS, email, and push notifications at any time from account settings. This will not affect service or account notifications.
Request a permanent account closure and full data deletion (subject to legal retention requirements). Contact support via live chat to initiate this process.
How to access these tools: Log in to your 88gj account → go to Account Settings → select Responsible Gaming. All tools are available there. Alternatively, our 24/7 live chat support can activate any of these settings on your behalf instantly.
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available. If you feel that gambling is no longer recreational for you, 88gj makes the process straightforward. Once active, your exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends — this is intentional and designed to protect you.
Important: If you choose permanent self-exclusion, 88gj will never re-open your account under any circumstances. Any attempt to create a new account during an active exclusion period will result in immediate closure and funds forfeiture.
Visit 88gj.pro and sign in using your registered credentials. If you are unable to log in, contact our live chat team directly — they can action the exclusion for you.
Go to Account Settings in the top-right menu and select the Responsible Gaming tab. All available tools, including self-exclusion, are listed here.
Choose from 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Read the confirmation notice carefully before proceeding.
Confirm your choice via the on-screen prompt. Your account will be locked immediately. You will receive a confirmation email and all marketing communications will cease within 24 hours.
Self-exclusion from 88gj is a strong step, but professional support may also help. Please consider reaching out to a mental health professional or a gambling support organisation if you are struggling.
Gambling addiction can develop gradually. Many players in Pakistan — from Lahore to Karachi to Faisalabad — do not realise there is a problem until it has escalated. Recognising these early warning signs is the first step toward getting help.
You are gambling with money set aside for rent, bills, food, or family expenses.
You feel irritable, anxious, or depressed when you are not gambling.
You chase losses by placing larger bets to try to recover what you have lost.
You lie to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
You have tried to cut back or stop gambling but have been unable to do so.
Gambling is occupying your thoughts even while at work, with family, or trying to sleep.
You have borrowed money from friends, family, or financial institutions to fund gambling.
Responsible gambling looks different from problem gambling. Here is what healthy, recreational play looks like — the standard 88gj encourages all players to maintain.
You only gamble with money you can genuinely afford to lose without affecting your household budget.
You set time and money limits before each session and stick to them regardless of outcomes.
You treat gambling as entertainment — the same way you would treat a cinema trip or a meal out.
You walk away when you have hit your limit, even if you are on a winning streak.
You are honest with yourself and your family about the time and money you spend on gambling.
You never gamble to escape stress, problems, depression, or boredom.
You regularly review your activity history on 88gj to stay aware of your actual spending.
The following questions are adapted from internationally recognised responsible gaming assessment frameworks. Answer honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to three or more, we strongly encourage you to use 88gj's self-exclusion tool or speak to a professional.
Have you ever gambled more than you intended to in a single session on 88gj or any other platform?
Have you ever increased the size of your bets in order to experience the same level of excitement?
Have you ever felt restless or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gambling?
Do you think about gambling frequently — replaying previous sessions or planning the next one — when you are not playing?
Have you ever gambled as a way to escape from problems, anxiety, stress, or a depressed mood?
After losing money, have you felt compelled to return as soon as possible to try to win it back?
Have you hidden your gambling activity — the amount spent or time involved — from people close to you?
Have you ever risked or lost an important relationship, job, or educational opportunity because of gambling?
If you answered yes to 3 or more questions, your gambling behaviour may be developing into a problem. Please use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools in your 88gj account, or contact our 24/7 support team via live chat for immediate assistance. You are not alone, and help is available.
88gj's internal tools are a strong starting point, but we also recognise that some players may need professional support. If you or someone you know in Pakistan is struggling with gambling-related issues, please consider speaking to a qualified mental health professional or a counselling service in your city — whether you are in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, or Faisalabad.
The first and often most important step is opening up to a trusted family member, close friend, or colleague. Many people in Pakistan find it easier to make changes to their gambling habits once the issue is acknowledged openly.
Psychiatrists and clinical psychologists in major Pakistani cities including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad can provide confidential assessment and treatment for gambling-related compulsive behaviour. Your GP can also refer you to appropriate services.
Peer support groups — whether in-person or online — provide a non-judgemental environment where individuals can share their experiences and strategies for managing compulsive gambling. Ask your mental health provider for local referrals.
Our trained support agents are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via the on-site live chat. They can activate self-exclusions, set deposit limits, or simply provide a compassionate first point of contact if you are feeling overwhelmed.
For non-urgent responsible gaming matters — such as requesting account history, discussing limit options, or submitting a formal self-exclusion request in writing — you can email us at [email protected]. We respond within 24 hours.
88gj operates under an international gaming licence whose regulatory framework includes mandatory responsible gaming standards. Our licensing authority provides independent oversight and guidance resources that players may reference through our support team.
88gj takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. In addition to mandatory age verification at registration, we recommend that all parents and guardians in Pakistan take the following steps to ensure that young people in their household cannot access online gambling platforms.
88gj is committed to providing a safe, fair, and entertaining gaming environment for all eligible players across Pakistan. Use our responsible gaming tools, play within your means, and enjoy cricket betting, slots, live casino, and more — knowing that we have your back. Must be 21 or older.
