Gambling is entertainment — not a financial strategy. At 89pkr, we provide every Pakistani player with the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.
89pkr is strictly for adults aged 18 and above.
Underage gambling is prohibited and actively prevented.
At 89pkr, we believe that cricket betting, live casino, and slots should be a source of entertainment and excitement — nothing more, nothing less. We know that for the vast majority of Pakistani players, that's exactly what it is: a good time, a bit of thrill when the PSL final is on, a few rounds of baccarat after a long day at the office in Lahore or Karachi. But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can become a problem. That's why 89pkr takes responsible gaming seriously — not as a compliance box to tick, but as a genuine commitment to every user on our platform.
The tools and resources on this page are here for everyone. Whether you're a regular player who just wants to set a sensible budget, or someone who feels their gaming may be getting out of hand, 89pkr has what you need. Read on, use the tools available, and remember: your wellbeing comes first.
Built into every 89pkr account — use these tools any time, from settings, with no waiting period.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 89pkr account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling period.
Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing over a day, week, or month. When your net losses hit the threshold, 89pkr will automatically prevent further play until the period ends. A simple, effective guardrail for your PKR balance.
It's easy to lose track of time when you're deep into a live cricket match or a hot slot session. Set a session reminder and 89pkr will alert you when your chosen play duration is up, giving you the nudge to take a break and reassess.
Need a short break from 89pkr? Activate a cooling-off period of between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this time your account is locked for real-money play. The restriction is applied immediately and cannot be reversed during the active period.
For longer-term breaks, 89pkr offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account is closed and you will be prevented from opening a new one. This is our strongest responsible gaming tool.
Every 89pkr account includes a full, transparent transaction and gaming history. Review your deposit totals, losses, and session lengths at any time from account settings. Awareness is the first step to staying in control of your gaming.
Problem gambling doesn't always look obvious. These are common warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone close to you.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, repeatedly exceeding the budget you set for yourself before a session.
Chasing losses — continuing to gamble after losing in an attempt to win back what you've lost, often making the situation significantly worse.
Gambling with money that is needed for essential expenses — rent, utility bills, groceries, school fees, or family obligations in Karachi, Lahore, or elsewhere.
Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling, or hiding gambling activity from your household.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to gamble, or when you try to reduce or stop your gambling activity.
Gambling becoming a way to escape stress, depression, difficult personal situations, or emotional problems rather than for entertainment.
Neglecting work, family, social commitments, or personal responsibilities because of time spent gambling online or thinking about gambling.
Borrowing money, selling personal items, or taking loans to fund gambling, with no clear plan to repay or recover the funds spent.
If you recognise three or more of the above signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use 89pkr's self-exclusion tool or cooling-off period immediately. Gaming should never come at the cost of your financial stability, mental health, or family relationships. You are not alone — help is available.
Answer honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to three or more of these questions, consider using 89pkr's responsible gaming tools or speaking with a support professional.
If you answered yes to 3 or more: Please consider activating 89pkr's self-exclusion tool or cooling-off period. Your wellbeing is more important than any game.
Responsible gaming isn't just a policy at 89pkr — it's built into how we operate every single day.
89pkr requires identity verification for all accounts. Players found to be under 18 are permanently banned and funds are returned to a parent or guardian.
89pkr support staff are trained to identify signs of problem gambling and to signpost users towards appropriate responsible gaming resources without judgment.
89pkr marketing materials are never targeted at minors, individuals on self-exclusion lists, or vulnerable persons. All advertising includes 18+ notices prominently.
89pkr will never contact a self-excluded player with promotional offers. We respect your decision to take a break — no pressure, no exceptions, no re-marketing.
Decide how much you're comfortable spending — whether that's Rs 500 or Rs 5,000 — and stick to it regardless of whether you're winning or losing. Use 89pkr's deposit limit feature to enforce this automatically.
Any winnings at 89pkr are a pleasant surprise, not a reliable income stream. Never plan your finances around expected gambling returns. If you win, consider withdrawing and enjoying it rather than reinvesting it all.
Step away from the screen every hour or so. Use 89pkr's session reminder to help. A short break keeps your perspective fresh and stops gaming sessions from running on longer than intended.
If you're stressed, anxious, or going through a difficult time, gambling is not the answer. Games at 89pkr are entertainment — they don't solve financial difficulties or emotional problems and should never be used as a coping mechanism.
Maintain a healthy balance between 89pkr and other activities you enjoy — family time, sport, socialising with friends, work. Gaming is one small part of a full life, not the centre of it.
If you're concerned about your gambling, talking to a family member or close friend is a positive first step. You don't have to face it alone. 89pkr support is also available 24/7 without judgment if you want guidance on using our responsible gaming tools.
The tools are there. The information is there. When you're ready to play, 89pkr is Pakistan's most trusted mobile casino and sportsbook — and we'll always have your back.
18+ only. Gambling is for entertainment purposes only. If gaming is affecting your life, use the tools on this page.
