988gam is built for entertainment. We want every player to enjoy the experience — that means having honest conversations about how gaming works, giving you the tools to manage your activity, and making it easy to step back when you need to.
Most people who play on 988gam do so the way it should be done — as a form of entertainment alongside cricket, football and everyday life. They set a budget, enjoy a session, and move on with their evening. That is exactly the experience we want for every player on this platform.
But gambling can be problematic for some people, and we do not pretend otherwise. Problem gambling is a real issue, and one that can develop gradually rather than all at once. Someone who starts by placing casual PSL bets or spinning a few slots can find, over time, that they are spending more than they planned, chasing losses, or playing when they genuinely do not want to. These are signs worth taking seriously.
988gam provides a set of tools specifically designed to help you maintain control over your gaming. These are not buried in an obscure settings menu — they are easily accessible from your account dashboard, and we actively encourage every player to use them. Setting a deposit limit from day one costs you nothing and keeps your budget honest from the start.
This page explains what tools are available, how to use them, and what signs to look out for if gaming starts feeling less like entertainment and more like something you feel driven to do. There is no judgement here — just honest, practical information.
Before each session, a quick check keeps things on track.
All of these tools are available directly from your 988gam account settings. You do not need to contact support to activate them — though support can help if you need guidance.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit. Once set, the limit is enforced immediately. Increasing a limit has a 24-hour cooling-off period before it takes effect — decreasing takes effect instantly.
Set a duration for your gaming session and receive an on-screen reminder when the time is up. You decide what happens next — but the reminder gives you a natural pause point to reassess before continuing.
Enable regular pop-up notifications during play that show how long you have been active in the current session and your net position. Small, frequent reminders help prevent sessions from stretching unnoticed.
Take a structured break of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a cool-off period your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit or play. All settings and balance are preserved for when you return.
Request permanent exclusion from the platform for a minimum period of 6 months, or indefinitely. Self-exclusion is enforced immediately and cannot be reversed within the exclusion period, regardless of request.
Set a maximum loss amount per day, week or month. Once your net loss reaches the limit, further play is suspended for the remainder of that period. Your balance is not affected — just your ability to deposit more.
A budget is not about limiting fun — it is about protecting your enjoyment over the long term. Here is a straightforward way to think about it.
After paying your rent, bills, family expenses and setting aside savings, what is genuinely left over for leisure activities? That total — across all entertainment — is the ceiling your gaming budget must sit within.
Gaming is one form of entertainment among several. Once you decide what portion of your leisure budget goes to 988gam each month, set it immediately as a monthly deposit limit in your account settings. That figure becomes the hard limit.
The clearest mindset for gaming is to regard the money you deposit as entertainment expenditure — like a cinema ticket or dinner out. If you win, that is a bonus. If you lose, you have had your entertainment. The worst outcome is losing what you budgeted. The worst outcome of chasing is much worse than that.
If you want to adjust your deposit limit, do it at the end of the month as part of a calm, considered review — not in the middle of a losing session. Mid-session limit increases are the single biggest driver of regret among players who later identify their spending as problematic.
This sounds obvious but the line blurs when losses are running and a PSL match is live. The rule is absolute: money for rent, groceries, school fees, bills or debt repayments is not gaming money. If you are in that situation, step away and use the cool-off feature.
Problem gambling often develops gradually. These signals are worth knowing — whether you are checking for yourself or someone close to you.
Self-exclusion means requesting that 988gam block your account access for a defined period. During that period you will not be able to log in, deposit, place bets or receive promotional communications from us. Your account balance at the time of exclusion will be held securely and returned to you when the exclusion period ends, or upon request.
Self-exclusion periods on 988gam start at 6 months. You can also choose 1 year, 3 years or indefinite exclusion. An indefinite exclusion can only be reviewed after a minimum of 5 years and requires written confirmation from you.
Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed mid-period, regardless of circumstances. This is intentional — the value of self-exclusion comes from its finality during the exclusion window. There are no exceptions.
You need to be logged in to access the self-exclusion tool. If you cannot log in due to a forgotten password, contact support via live chat who can assist with the exclusion directly.
The Responsible Gaming section of your account settings is where all player protection tools are located, including deposit limits, session timers, cool-off and self-exclusion.
Choose 6 months, 1 year, 3 years or indefinite. Read the confirmation screen carefully, then confirm your choice. The exclusion activates immediately upon confirmation.
Once confirmed, you will be logged out immediately and access will be blocked. Any pending withdrawals at the time of exclusion will be processed normally to your registered payment method.
