Gaming That Stays Fun

88ad is Pakistan's most trusted online casino and sports betting platform, and with that trust comes a serious responsibility. We are fully committed to ensuring that every player — whether they are placing a cricket bet from Lahore, spinning slots from Karachi, or joining a jackpot bingo session from Islamabad — does so in a safe, controlled, and informed manner.

Responsible gaming at 88ad is not just a checkbox on our licensing requirements. It is woven into how the platform is designed. From the moment you create your account, you have access to a full suite of player protection tools that let you set limits, take breaks, or permanently exclude yourself from the platform if you feel your gambling is becoming a problem.

We understand that for the vast majority of our players, 88ad is entertainment — a place to follow the PSL, enjoy live casino tables, or try their luck on international slot titles. But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can become difficult to control. That is why we provide clear warning signs, practical tools, and links to professional support resources so that no 88ad player ever has to feel alone if things get tough.

Our responsible gaming programme is aligned with internationally recognised standards from leading gaming regulatory bodies. We work with licensed game studios that are independently audited, and our platform processes are reviewed to ensure player protection remains a priority at every level.

Important Reminder: Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, it is time to use our responsible gaming tools or seek support.

All responsible gaming tools on 88ad are completely free to use and can be activated instantly through your account settings or by contacting our support team via live chat. There is no waiting period, no fee, and no judgment — just immediate help when you need it.

Take Control Right Now

Set a Deposit Limit

Cap your daily, weekly, or monthly deposits in PKR. Limits activate immediately and can only be lowered — not raised — without a cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminder

Set a session duration reminder. Once your set time is reached, 88ad will notify you so you can decide whether to continue or take a break.

Take a Break

Temporarily suspend your 88ad account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is locked during this period with no exceptions.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently exclude your account from 88ad. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed for a minimum of 6 months. Contact support to activate.

88ad Responsible Gaming Tools

Every tool below is available to all 88ad users at no cost. Access them via your account settings or contact our 24/7 support team through live chat.

Deposit Limits

Set a hard cap on how much PKR you can deposit into your 88ad account per day, week, or month. Once set, your limit can be reduced instantly but can only be increased after a mandatory 7-day review period — giving you time to reconsider.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing across daily, weekly, or monthly periods. When your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further bets until the period resets — protecting your bankroll and your peace of mind.

Session Time Limits

Decide in advance how long each gaming session should last. 88ad will display a clear on-screen notification when your chosen duration is up, helping you stay aware of the time you spend on the platform without being interrupted mid-game.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session. These appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — keeping you grounded and informed throughout your session.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a structured break from 88ad for a defined period — 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is fully suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications. This tool is reversible, unlike full self-exclusion.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is out of control, you can request a permanent self-exclusion from 88ad. Your account will be closed immediately, your details flagged to prevent re-registration, and all marketing communications stopped. Minimum exclusion period is 6 months. Contact support to initiate.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. It does not matter whether you play cricket betting markets, live casino tables, or online slots — the signs are the same. The earlier they are recognised, the easier it is to get back in control.

If you recognise several of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use 88ad's responsible gaming tools or reach out to our support team immediately.

Recognising a problem early is a sign of strength, not weakness. 88ad's support team is non-judgmental and available 24/7. You can also activate any responsible gaming tool instantly through your account dashboard.

Strict 21+ Policy at 88ad

CNIC Verification

Every 88ad user is required to submit a copy of their Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) before their first withdrawal. We use this to confirm both identity and that the player is at least 21 years of age, as required by our gaming licence.

Selfie Verification

In some cases, 88ad may request a selfie alongside your CNIC to confirm that the document belongs to the account holder. This process is handled securely and your data is never shared with unauthorised third parties.

Underage Account Closure

If at any point 88ad discovers that an account is held by someone under 21, the account will be permanently closed immediately. Any associated balance will be forfeited and all personal data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

For Parents and Guardians: If you share devices with minors, we strongly recommend installing parental control software to prevent access to online gambling platforms including 88ad. If you suspect a minor has registered on 88ad, please contact us immediately at [email protected] (plain text — not a link).

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Log in to your 88ad account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings. From there, select "Deposit Limits" and enter your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly cap in PKR. The limit takes effect immediately. To increase a limit, a mandatory 7-day review period applies to give you time to reconsider.

Self-exclusion is a permanent account closure tool for players who feel their gambling has become a problem.

Yes. 88ad offers a Cooling-Off Period tool that lets you temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.

You can activate it through your account settings or by contacting support.

88ad's 24/7 live chat support team is always available to help you activate any responsible gaming tool.

You can also write to us at [email protected] and we will connect you with appropriate resources. Remember — asking for help is the right move.

Every responsible gaming tool on 88ad — deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, reality checks, cooling-off periods, and full self-exclusion — is completely free of charge for all registered users. There are no fees, no delays, and no conditions attached. Player safety is our commitment, not a paid service.
