Safe & Responsible Play
At 88et, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player on our platform — whether you are betting on a PSL match from Lahore, enjoying a slot session in Karachi, or playing live casino from Islamabad. Gaming is meant to be fun and entertaining. The moment it stops being that, something needs to change. This page covers everything you need to know about our responsible gaming tools, the warning signs of problem gambling, and how to get help if you or someone you know needs it. Our commitment to safe play is not just a policy — it is built into how 88et operates every single day.
Our Core Principles
Responsible gaming is not an afterthought at 88et. These six principles are woven into the foundation of how our platform is designed and managed.
Every new 88et account must pass a KYC age verification process before any deposit or withdrawal is permitted . Our system cross-checks CNIC details to confirm that players are 21 years or older — no exceptions. Accounts flagged for underage access are closed immediately and funds returned where applicable.
You are always in the driver's seat. 88et lets you set your own deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, and session time limits directly from your account settings. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately; raising one requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Losing track of time is one of the most common early signs of problematic play. 88et sends in-session pop-up reminders at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — so you always know how long you have been playing and can make an informed decision to continue or stop.
Our reality check feature displays a summary of your net win/loss position and total time spent during the current session at regular intervals. This gives you an honest, real-time view of how your gaming session is actually going — not how it feels like it is going.
If you feel you need a break, 88et offers both temporary cool-off periods (24 hours up to 6 weeks) and permanent self-exclusion. During exclusion, your account is locked, all marketing communications are stopped, and you cannot open a new account on the platform.
88et's responsible gaming team actively monitors player behaviour patterns — such as sudden increases in deposit frequency, chasing losses, or unusually long sessions — and may reach out proactively if concerning patterns are detected. We take this responsibility seriously.
Player Tools
Every tool below is available free of charge to all verified 88et players. Access them anytime through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Set a maximum PKR amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. This is the single most effective tool for keeping your gaming spend within a pre-agreed personal budget.
Set a ceiling on how much you are prepared to lose in a given time period. Once that threshold is reached, further play is automatically restricted until the period resets. Ideal for players who find it difficult to stop after a losing streak.
If you feel gambling has become harmful or out of control, self-exclusion immediately locks your account. Choose a temporary exclusion (1 week to 6 months) or a permanent closure. All 88et marketing to you stops the moment exclusion is activated.
Cap how long you can play in a single session. Once the time limit expires, you are automatically logged out. You can set this to as little as 30 minutes or as long as 4 hours — whatever feels right for your lifestyle and commitments.
Not ready for full self-exclusion but need a short break? A cool-off period temporarily suspends your account for 24 hours, 1 week, or up to 6 weeks. No gaming, no deposits, no marketing. Just the breathing room you need to reassess.
At your chosen interval, 88et displays a pop-up showing your net result and time spent in the current session. This simple tool breaks the flow of play and gives you the information needed to decide whether to continue or step away.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or how experienced a player is. For many Pakistani players, the signs creep in gradually. Being honest with yourself or a loved one about these warning signs is the most important first step toward getting things back on track.
Continuing to play in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost — often escalating bet sizes in the process.
Using money intended for rent, utility bills, groceries, or school fees — or borrowing from friends and family — to fund gambling activity.
Missing work, skipping family commitments, or withdrawing socially in order to spend more time gambling online.
Repeatedly attempting to cut back or stop gambling but being unable to do so despite genuine intent and effort.
Self-Assessment
Answer honestly. This is not a diagnostic tool, but it can help you reflect on your relationship with gambling. There are no right or wrong answers — only honest ones.
If your answers lean toward "Often", "Frequently", or "Significantly" on multiple questions, we encourage you to use our responsible gaming tools or get in touch with our support team. Taking this step is a sign of strength — not weakness.
Access Responsible Gaming ToolsOur Commitment
88et operates under an international gaming licence, which imposes strict responsible gaming obligations on us as an operator. But beyond the legal requirements, these are commitments we make because we genuinely believe they are the right thing to do for our community of Pakistani players.
Players who have activated responsible gaming limits, cool-off periods, or self-exclusion are removed from all promotional communications immediately and permanently for the duration of their restriction.
No delays, no persuasion attempts, no bonus offers to change your mind. A self-exclusion request is processed as a priority within 24 hours, and your account is locked without exception.
Every 88et customer support agent is trained to identify signs of problem gambling in player interactions and to respond with empathy, appropriate resources, and escalation pathways.
Our KYC process is mandatory before any financial transactions are permitted. Any account found to belong to someone under 21 is immediately closed and the matter is reported in accordance with our licensing obligations.
Where our responsible gaming team identifies that a player may benefit from professional counselling or support beyond what 88et can provide, we will always provide appropriate referrals and resources.
88et is licensed and regulated by an international gaming authority. Our licence requires us to implement and maintain a comprehensive responsible gaming framework, conduct mandatory age and identity verification, provide player protection tools, and cooperate with responsible gaming organisations. These are not optional — they are conditions of our licence to operate.
If you or someone you know in Pakistan is struggling with problem gambling, reaching out early makes a significant difference. 88et's live support team is available 24/7 and can connect you with our responsible gaming specialists. You can also speak to a trusted family member, religious adviser, or general practitioner as a first step — in many cases, having a single honest conversation is the turning point.
