p998 is strictly a 21+ platform. Gambling is entertainment — know your limits and play responsibly.
Responsible Gaming — p998

Play Smart. Stay in Control.
p998 Cares About Your Wellbeing

Gambling is meant to be fun — a form of entertainment, nothing more. At p998, we are committed to making sure it stays that way for every Pakistani player on our platform. This page covers everything you need to know about gaming responsibly: the tools available to you, how to recognise when things might be getting out of hand, and exactly where to find help if you ever need it. We built these protections not because a license requires them, but because we genuinely care about the people using p998.

Strict Age Requirement

p998 enforces a minimum age of 21 for all players. No exceptions, no workarounds. Every account goes through age verification and p998 can request identity documents at any time during the account lifecycle.

Our 21+ Policy — Why It Matters

Underage gambling is a serious issue everywhere in the world, and Pakistan is no exception. Young people are statistically more susceptible to developing gambling disorders precisely because the parts of the brain responsible for impulse control and long-term risk assessment are still developing well into the early twenties. p998 takes this seriously — which is why our minimum age threshold is set at 21, not 18.

During registration, every new player is required to confirm their date of birth and agree to the 21+ condition. p998 then conducts independent age verification checks. We may at any point ask you to provide a copy of your CNIC to confirm you are of eligible age. Accounts where age verification cannot be completed will be suspended until documentation is provided.

If p998 has reasonable grounds to suspect an account is being used by a person under 21 — through behavioural signals, third-party information, or failed documentation checks — the account will be immediately suspended. Any funds held in such accounts are subject to review and may not be returned.

Parents and Guardians: If you believe someone under the age of 21 in your household has accessed p998, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate and take action within 24 hours. We also recommend enabling parental controls on shared devices.

Your Protection Tools at p998

All of these tools are available directly from your p998 account dashboard — no need to contact support to activate most of them. We put control in your hands.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum PKR deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis directly from your p998 account settings. Once set, deposit limits cannot be increased without a mandatory 24-hour reflection period. Reductions, however, take effect immediately — putting brakes firmly in your hands when you need them most.

Session Time Limits

Choose a maximum session duration and p998 will display a clear on-screen reminder when that time is up, giving you the nudge you decided in advance that you needed. It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the middle of a game — this tool takes that risk away without being intrusive or condescending.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given time period. When your losses reach that threshold, p998 will automatically prevent further bets for the remainder of the period. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping gambling comfortably within your personal financial boundaries in PKR.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a few days away from p998? Activate a cooling-off period of your chosen duration — from 24 hours up to 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot deposit, place bets, or access the gaming lobby. Your account and balance are preserved. When the period expires, access resumes automatically.

Reality Check Notifications

Enable periodic pop-up summaries that show you exactly how long you've been playing in the current session and your net win/loss position. It's a small interruption that makes a meaningful difference — a momentary pause that helps you consciously decide whether to continue or stop.

Self-Exclusion

The most powerful tool p998 offers. Self-exclusion closes your account for a period you specify — from 1 month up to permanent exclusion. It takes effect instantly. During self-exclusion, your account cannot be reopened, no deposits are accepted, and no marketing materials are sent. This is a serious commitment tool and p998 enforces it without exception.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion

If you've reached a point where you feel gambling is no longer a healthy activity for you, self-exclusion is the right step and p998 has made it as easy as possible to activate. No lengthy forms, no waiting periods, no phone calls required. Follow these steps from your p998 account dashboard:

1
Log Into Your p998 Account

Access your p998 account from the login page. You'll need your registered mobile number and password.

2
Open Account Settings

Navigate to your profile icon in the top right, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

3
Select Responsible Gaming

Within Account Settings, find the "Responsible Gaming" tab. All protection tools including self-exclusion are listed there.

4
Choose Self-Exclusion Duration

Select your exclusion period: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent. Confirm your choice and it takes effect immediately — no delays.

5
Alternatively — Contact Support

If you cannot access your account, contact p998 live chat 24/7 and request self-exclusion. Our team will process it immediately — no questions asked.

Important: Once self-exclusion is active, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. This is by design — it ensures the tool actually works when you need it most. If you are in crisis, please reach out to p998 live support immediately.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gambling becomes a problem when it stops being fun and starts affecting your life, relationships, or finances. These are the warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you know.

Spending more money on gambling than you can realistically afford to lose — dipping into rent, utility bills, or grocery money.
Chasing losses — placing bigger bets to try and win back money you've already lost rather than accepting the outcome.
Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on p998 or any other gambling platform.
Feeling irritable, restless, or anxious when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce how much you gamble.
Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal relationships because of gambling activity.
Borrowing money, selling belongings, or taking out loans specifically to fund gambling sessions.
Feeling that gambling is the only thing that brings you genuine excitement or escape from daily stress.
Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or completely stop gambling on your own.
Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling to get the same level of excitement or enjoyment as before.
One or two of these signs don't necessarily mean you have a problem — but if three or more resonate with your experience, it may be worth speaking to someone. p998's self-exclusion and cooling-off tools are available immediately if you need to step back. And if you want to talk to someone outside of p998, our support team can point you toward appropriate resources.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly — for yourself, not for p998. There are no right or wrong answers from a platform perspective. This is about your own awareness. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, please consider using one of p998's responsible gaming tools or reaching out for support.

1
Have you ever gambled more than you planned to in a single session — even after telling yourself you would stop at a certain point?
2
Have you ever placed bets using money that was set aside for essential expenses like rent, food, or school fees?
3
After a losing session, have you returned to gamble again specifically to try and recover what you lost?
4
Have you kept your gambling activity hidden from your spouse, parents, or close friends because you feared their reaction?
5
Has gambling caused you to miss work, skip studies, or neglect family responsibilities on more than one occasion?
6
Have you ever borrowed money or sold something you owned in order to have funds for gambling?
7
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or low in mood on days when you haven't gambled, and does gambling seem to relieve those feelings?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, your gambling behaviour may have moved beyond entertainment. Please consider activating one of p998's responsible gaming tools, or reaching out to p998 live support who can assist you in taking a break from the platform immediately and connect you with appropriate support information.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Common questions from Pakistani p998 players about responsible gaming tools and policies.

Log into your p998 account, go to Account Settings, and select the Responsible Gaming tab. You'll see options to set daily, weekly, and monthly PKR deposit caps. Enter your desired limit and confirm. Reductions take effect immediately. If you want to increase a limit, there is a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before the increase activates — this reflection period is by design and cannot be bypassed.

No. Self-exclusion is enforced absolutely during the chosen period. This is intentional — the entire point of self-exclusion is to create a firm boundary during a period when you've recognised that gambling is not healthy for you. Attempting to create a new account during an active self-exclusion period is a breach of p998's Terms and Conditions. When your chosen exclusion period naturally expires, access to p998 resumes and you may log back in as normal.

A cooling-off period is a short, temporary pause — anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days. It's designed for players who want a brief break without committing to a longer absence. Your account is preserved and resumes automatically at the end of the period. Self-exclusion is a more serious and longer-term commitment — from 1 month up to permanent exclusion. It cannot be reversed during the active period. If you're unsure which is right for you, p998 support can help you decide during a live chat.

No. p998's minimum age requirement is 21 years, strictly enforced. You cannot create or use a p998 account if you are under 21, regardless of your location or circumstances. This policy exists to protect younger players from gambling-related harm at an age when risk judgement and impulse control are still developing. p998 conducts age verification on all accounts and will request CNIC documentation to confirm eligibility.

No. When a self-exclusion is activated on your p998 account, all promotional and marketing communications are immediately halted. You will not receive SMS bonus offers, email promotions, or any other marketing material during your exclusion period. You may still receive essential transactional communications — such as confirmation that your self-exclusion has been processed — as these are necessary for account security purposes.

Contact p998 live support immediately via the chat function on this site — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tell the support agent that you want to self-exclude. They will process it immediately without requiring you to log in or complete any additional steps. You can also email [email protected] — include "Self-Exclusion Request" in the subject line along with your registered mobile number so the team can identify your account immediately.

Tips for Healthy Gaming

Most p998 players enjoy the platform as casual entertainment. Here's how to keep it that way.

Set a Budget

Before you open p998, decide exactly how much you are comfortable spending — and treat that amount as the full cost of the entertainment, whether you win or lose. Winning is a bonus, not the goal.

Use a Timer

Set a physical alarm or use p998's session timer before you start playing. When the timer goes off, finish the current hand or round and then stop. Don't extend unless you consciously decided in advance that you would.

Don't Chase Losses

If you've hit your loss limit for the day, log out. Full stop. Chasing losses is the single most common way gambling goes from entertainment to a genuine problem. Tomorrow is a fresh day — your budget resets.

Take Regular Breaks

Get up, stretch, have a cup of chai. Continuous play over long periods clouds judgement and makes impulsive decisions more likely. p998's session time reminders can help you build healthy break habits into every gaming session.
