Our Commitment

Gaming Should Always
Be About Fun

At 89pkr, we believe that cricket betting, PSL wagers, and casino entertainment are genuinely enjoyable activities — when done responsibly. The thrill of watching Babar Azam smash a six while your bet is live, or hitting a streak on a slot, is something hundreds of thousands of Pakistani players enjoy every week without any issue.

But we also know that gambling can become a problem for some individuals. That is why 89pkr has built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework — not just because our international gaming licence requires it, but because it is simply the right thing to do. We want every Member from Karachi to Peshawar to have a safe, enjoyable, and sustainable experience on our platform.

This page outlines all the tools, policies, and support channels available to you. Please read it carefully and do not hesitate to use any of these resources — that is exactly what they are there for.

The 89pkr Responsible Gaming Charter
  • We enforce a minimum age of 21 years with mandatory identity verification on all accounts.
  • We provide deposit, loss, wager, and session time limits that you control directly.
  • We offer cooling-off periods and full self-exclusion for Members who need a break.
  • We train our customer support staff to identify signs of problem gambling and respond with empathy.
  • We never market to self-excluded Members or individuals who have set marketing opt-outs.
  • We operate under an internationally recognised gaming licence with regular responsible gaming audits.
  • We provide links to professional support organisations for Members who need help beyond our platform tools.

Your Player Protection Tools

All of these tools are available inside your 89pkr account settings. They are free to use and take effect immediately.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit instantly — increases take 24 hours to activate, giving you time to reconsider.

Loss Limits

Cap the amount you are allowed to lose over a set period. 89pkr will automatically restrict further play once your loss limit is hit. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming within a budget you are genuinely comfortable with.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration after which you will be automatically logged out. You can also enable on-screen session time rem inders at 30-minute or 60-minute intervals so you always stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Apply a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is suspended for all gaming activity. You can still access your account to withdraw funds, but no bets or deposits are permitted.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude your 89pkr account for a minimum period of six months, or permanently. Self-exclusion is irreversible during the chosen period. We will also flag your details to prevent re-registration during the exclusion window.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable reality check notifications that pop up at intervals you choose during an active session. Each reminder shows your session duration and net win or loss so far, giving you a clear, honest picture of your current gaming session in real time.

How to access your tools: Log in to your 89pkr account → Go to "Account Settings" → Select "Responsible Gaming". All limit tools and self-exclusion options are listed there. Changes to deposit and loss limits take effect instantly when reducing, and after a 24-hour cooling period when increasing. If you need assistance activating any tool, our 24/7 live chat support is always available.

How to Self-Exclude

Self-exclusion is a serious and effective tool. If you believe gaming is negatively affecting your daily life, finances, or relationships, please follow these steps without hesitation. There is no shame in taking control — it is the responsible thing to do.

1
Log in to Your 89pkr Account

Visit 89pkr.bet and sign in using your registered credentials. If you cannot log in, contact our 24/7 live chat support directly — they can initiate self-exclusion on your behalf after identity verification.

2
Navigate to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the platform and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

3
Select "Responsible Gaming"

Inside Account Settings, locate the "Responsible Gaming" tab. This is where all your player protection tools are centralised, including the self-exclusion option.

4
Choose Your Exclusion Period

Select your preferred exclusion duration — 6 months, 12 months, 3 years, or permanent. Read the confirmation carefully, then confirm your selection. The exclusion takes effect immediately.

5
Confirmation & Support Follow-Up

You will receive an email confirmation of your self-exclusion. Our responsible gaming team may reach out within 24 hours to check in and provide additional support resources if needed.

Available Exclusion Periods

Exclusion Type Duration Reversible?
Short-Term Break 24 hours – 30 days No (during period)
Medium Exclusion 6 months No
Long Exclusion 12 months No
Extended Exclusion 3 years No
Permanent Exclusion Indefinite Permanent

Important: Once self-exclusion is activated, 89pkr will take all reasonable steps to prevent you from re-registering or accessing the platform during the exclusion period. Any winnings accumulated after self-exclusion has been applied will be voided. Pending withdrawal requests at the time of exclusion will still be processed normally.

Need Immediate Help?

If you are struggling and need to speak to someone right now, our 24/7 live chat team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with full confidentiality and empathy.

Recognising the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Knowing the signs early makes it far easier to take action before it seriously impacts your life.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to bet after losing, with the aim of winning your money back. This is one of the clearest early indicators of problem gambling behaviour.

Losing Track of Time

Spending significantly more time gaming than you originally planned, and consistently missing the moment to stop.

Gambling Beyond Your Budget

Betting money that was intended for household expenses, rent, utility bills, or family needs in Karachi, Lahore, or wherever you are based.

Hiding Gambling From Others

Concealing the amount of time or money you spend on gaming from family members, friends, or colleagues around you.

Mood Linked to Gambling

Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when you are not gambling, or using gambling as a way to escape stress or negative emotions.

Borrowing to Gamble

Borrowing money from family, friends, or taking loans specifically to fund your gambling activity is a serious red flag that requires immediate action.

If you recognise three or more of the above signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion immediately, and to reach out to our support team or a professional counselling service. Taking action early makes an enormous difference.

Quick Self-Assessment

Honest answers to these questions can help you assess whether your gaming habits are still healthy and under your control.

Answer Yes or No Honestly — If You Answer "Yes" to 3 or More, Please Consider Seeking Support
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally planned to in a single session?
Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by placing further bets?
Have you missed work, family obligations, or social events because of time spent gambling?
Have you ever felt the need to hide your gambling activity from people close to you?
Have you used funds intended for essential expenses (food, rent, school fees) for gambling?
Have you borrowed money from someone or taken a loan specifically to fund gambling?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are unable to access gambling?
Have you ever felt that gambling is no longer fun and is more of a compulsion or habit?

This is a self-assessment tool only and does not constitute a clinical diagnosis. If your answers concern you, please activate your responsible gaming tools in your 89pkr account settings or contact our support team via live chat at any time.

Tips for Healthy Gaming

The vast majority of 89pkr Members enjoy cricket betting and casino games as a fun, social pastime. Here are some straightforward habits that keep it that way.

  • Set a strict budget before you start each session and stick to it — treat it the same as a night out in Karachi or Lahore. Once the budget is gone, the session ends.
  • Only gamble with money you can genuinely afford to lose. Never use funds earmarked for family expenses, rent, or school fees.
  • Use the session timer tool in your 89pkr account to keep track of time. It is very easy to lose track when the PSL is live and the bets are flowing.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen, have a chai, stretch your legs. A clear head makes better decisions.
  • Never gamble when you are feeling stressed, emotionally low, or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair judgment significantly.
  • Accept that losses are a normal part of gambling. The house always has an edge — treat any winnings as a bonus, not an expectation.
  • Keep other hobbies and social activities central to your life. Gaming should be one small part of your leisure time, not the whole of it.
  • Talk openly with a trusted family member or friend about your gambling. Keeping it hidden from everyone is often an early warning sign.

The 21+ Rule — No Exceptions

89pkr enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all Members. This is a non-negotiable condition of our international gaming licence and a core part of our responsible gaming commitment.

All new registrations are subject to mandatory age and identity verification before deposits or gameplay are permitted. Documents required for verification may include a valid CNIC, passport, or other government-issued identification.

If 89pkr determines at any point that a Member is under 21 years of age, the account will be suspended immediately, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the matter will be escalated to the relevant regulatory authority.

For Parents & Guardians

If you are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing online gambling platforms, we recommend implementing parental control software on shared devices. Several free and paid tools are available to restrict access to gambling websites.

If you believe a minor has opened or is using an 89pkr account, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or at [email protected] so we can investigate and take action without delay.

Licensed & Regulated

89pkr operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence. Responsible gaming compliance — including age verification, self-exclusion, player protection tools, and regular audits — is a mandatory condition of maintaining that licence. Our responsible gaming practices are reviewed regularly by our licensing authority.
