Play Smart,
Stay in Control
At 88et, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core part of who we are. We provide every player in Pakistan with the tools, resources, and guidance they need to keep their experience enjoyable, safe, and firmly within their own limits.
Our Promise
88et's Commitment to
Responsible Gaming
88et is Pakistan's premier online casino and sports betting platform, and with that position comes a real responsibility. We firmly believe that gaming should be a source of entertainment — not stress, financial strain, or harm. That is why we have built an entire responsible gaming framework into the heart of our platform, available to every registered player across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and beyond.
Gambling is strictly an activity for adults. 88et enforces an absolute minimum age requirement of 18 years. We conduct identity verification checks and reserve the right to request documentation at any point during a player's account lifecycle. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful — we take this seriously and will close any account found to belong to a minor without exception.
We also recognize that for a small number of people, gambling can develop into a problematic habit. Our responsible gaming tools exist precisely for those moments — giving you the power to pause, reflect, and regain control before things go further than intended. No judgment. No questions. Just support when you need it.
Quick Principles
- Gambling is entertainment — treat it like any other leisure activity with a fixed budget.
- Never gamble with money earmarked for rent, groceries, or essential expenses.
- Set a session time limit before you start — and stick to it.
- Chasing losses is a warning sign — take a break if you feel the urge.
- Wins are never guaranteed — outcomes are random and cannot be predicted.
- Use 88et's built-in tools to manage your play — they are there for your benefit.
Player Controls
Tools to Keep You in Control
Every 88et account comes equipped with a full suite of responsible gaming tools. Access them anytime from your account settings — no waiting period, no complicated process.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your 88et account. Whether you play in PKR via Easypaisa, JazzCash, or HBL, your deposit limit ensures you never fund your account beyond what you have planned. Reductions apply immediately; increases take 24 hours to take effect — a deliberate cooling-off buffer.
Session Time Limits
Decide in advance how long each gaming session should last. Once your set time is reached, 88et will display a clear notification and, if you choose, log you out automatically. Time-based controls are one of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy relationship with gaming.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a given time frame. Once that threshold is reached, 88et will suspend further wagering for the remainder of the period. This tool is especially useful for players who want a hard boundary rather than relying solely on willpower.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable periodic on-screen notifications that summarize how long you have been playing and your net session result. Reality checks break the flow of play and give you a clear, factual snapshot — making it easier to decide whether to continue or wrap up for the day.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that a break from gaming is what you need, 88et's self-exclusion tool lets you suspend your account for a fixed period — 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, or 1 year. During this period, you will be unable to log in, deposit, or place wagers. Contact our support team at [email protected] to activate this immediately.
Permanent Account Closure
Players who decide they no longer wish to participate in online gambling can request the permanent closure of their 88et account. Once closed permanently, the account cannot be reopened. Our support team processes such requests promptly and without any pressure or persuasion to reconsider.
Know the Signs
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look the same, and it rarely announces itself loudly. Often it begins as a gradual shift in behaviour — spending a little more time online, feeling irritable when not playing, or finding it harder to stop. Being honest with yourself early makes a significant difference.
If any of the warning signs below resonate with your own experience — or with someone you care about — please reach out to our support team or consider using 88et's self-exclusion tools. You are not alone, and help is available.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or borrowing money to fund your gaming activity.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling.
Using gambling as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, or deal with feelings of anxiety or depression.
Chasing losses — increasing bet sizes or continuing to play in an attempt to recover money already lost.
Hiding your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues in Karachi, Lahore, or wherever you live.
Neglecting work, family responsibilities, or personal wellbeing because of time or money spent on gaming.
Self-Assessment
Ask Yourself These Questions
Answering "yes" to two or more of the following questions may indicate that your gambling habits are becoming problematic. Use this as a starting point for reflection — not as a diagnosis.
Have you ever gambled with money that was intended for something else — bills, groceries, or savings?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently, even when you are doing something entirely unrelated?
Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult to follow through?
Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement?
Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much time or money you have spent gambling?
Has gambling ever caused problems with your relationships, work, or financial stability?
Do you often return to gambling the day after a loss, hoping to win back what you lost?
Have you ever relied on others — family, friends, a bank — to help you out of a financial situation caused by gambling?
If you answered "yes" to two or more questions: Please consider speaking with our support team at [email protected] or activating one of the responsible gaming tools in your 88et account. Taking early action is the most effective step you can take.
