At 988w, we believe that gaming should always be an enjoyable pastime — not a source of stress, financial hardship, or personal harm. Whether you are placing a bet on a PSL match from Lahore or spinning slots from Karachi, we want every player on our platform to stay in control. This page explains the tools, policies, and resources 988w has in place to help you play safely and responsibly.
Every 988w account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls. You can activate or adjust these tools at any time directly from your account dashboard — no waiting period for setting tighter limits.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your 988w account in PKR. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be processed until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 7-day cooling-off period.
Decide in advance how long you want each gaming session to last. When your time limit expires, 988w will display a reminder notification and, if you choose, automatically log you out. This is particularly useful for mobile users who lose track of time during PSL live betting.
Place a hard ceiling on how much you are willing to lose in a day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is hit, 988w will block further wagering until the period refreshes. This tool ensures you never chase losses beyond what you can afford — one of the most common traps in gambling.
Need a short break without fully closing your account? 988w offers cool-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets, but your balance and account history are safely preserved.
Self-exclusion is a formal, binding commitment to stop gambling on 988w for a set period — a minimum of 6 months, up to permanent closure. Once activated, 988w will not accept deposits or bets from a self-excluded account. This is a serious step and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.
Enable periodic on-screen pop-ups that show you how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered, and your net win/loss position for the session. These reality check alerts appear at intervals you choose — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — keeping you grounded and informed at all times.
Setting up responsible gaming controls on 988w takes less than two minutes. Here is exactly how to do it from any device — mobile or desktop.
Visit 988w.org and sign in using your registered username and password. Two-factor authentication via SMS OTP is recommended for account security.
Tap or click your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
In the settings sidebar, locate the "Responsible Gaming" tab. This section contains all available limit and control tools in one place.
Select the type of limit you want — deposit, loss, session time, or cool-off — enter your preferred value in PKR or hours, and confirm. Restrictive changes take effect immediately.
If you wish to activate self-exclusion or need assistance setting limits, our support team is available 24/7 in English and Urdu at .
Cap total PKR deposits in a 24-hour rolling period.
Set a 7-day deposit ceiling across all payment methods.
Control your total monthly spend across JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, and more.
Stop play automatically when net losses hit your chosen PKR threshold.
Auto-logout after a set number of minutes or hours per session.
Restrict the maximum single-bet stake amount on sports and casino games.
Self-exclusion is a serious and binding decision. Once activated, 988w will lock your account for the full duration of the exclusion period. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or wager. This action cannot be undone during the active exclusion period — please consider it carefully before proceeding.
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to use 988w's responsible gaming tools or contact our support team.
Chasing Losses? Do you often place more bets to try to recover money you have already lost?
Spending Beyond Your Means? Have you ever used money earmarked for bills, groceries, or family expenses to fund your gaming?
Hiding It from Family? Do you conceal the amount of time or money you spend on 988w from people close to you?
Feeling Restless When Not Playing? Do you feel anxious, irritable, or unable to focus when you cannot access the platform?
Losing Track of Time? Do gaming sessions regularly run much longer than you originally planned?
If any of these questions hit close to home, please reach out to our 24/7 support team at . Our team is trained to assist in both English and Urdu — no judgment, just genuine help.
Problem gambling can affect anyone — from a casual punter in Faisalabad watching PSL to a daily slots player in Karachi. Recognising the warning signs early is the most important step toward getting help.
Problem gambling — sometimes called gambling disorder — is a behavioural condition characterised by a persistent inability to control gambling impulses despite negative consequences. Common warning signs include:

Urdu-Language Support: Our responsible gaming support is available in both English and Urdu — because we want every player across Pakistan to be able to ask for help in the language they are most comfortable with.
No Marketing to At-Risk Players: Players who have active deposit limits, cool-off periods, or responsible gaming flags will not receive promotional bonuses, cashback offers, or re-engagement marketing from 988w.
Permanent Exclusion Respected: Players who choose permanent self-exclusion will have their account closed and all marketing communications stopped indefinitely. 988w will never attempt to re-engage a permanently excluded player.
