Player Protection Programme

Play Smart.
Stay in Control.

At 89pk, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. Our platform is built around the belief that gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a financial burden or source of distress.

Strictly 21 and Above

89pk enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all players. Age verification is a mandatory step during registration and cannot be bypassed. Players who cannot verify their age will not be permitted to deposit, wager, or withdraw.

How 89pk Enforces the 21+ Rule

When you register on 89pk, you are required to confirm that you are at least 21 years of age. This is not just a checkbox — it is backed by a mandatory KYC identity verification process. Our system checks your CNIC or passport details to confirm your date of birth. Accounts that fail the age check are immediately suspended and all funds are returned.

We recognise that protecting minors is a shared responsibility. If you are a parent or guardian in Lahore, Karachi, or anywhere across Pakistan and you believe a minor in your household has accessed or attempted to access 89pk, please contact us at [email protected] immediately. We will investigate and take action within 24 hours.

Parental controls tip: We strongly recommend using parental control software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, or built-in device parental controls to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. 89pk cooperates with all filtering services and responsible gaming organisations.


Six Tools to Keep You in Control

Every one of these tools is available to all 89pk account holders at no charge. Access them any time from your account dashboard or by contacting our support team.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in PKR to control exactly how much you fund your 89pk account. Limits take effect immediately when lowered and after a 24-hour cooling period when raised — protecting you against impulsive decisions in the heat of the moment.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so the platform automatically reminds you — or logs you out entirely — after a specified period. Whether it's 30 minutes or 3 hours, time limits help you stay aware of how long you have been playing without losing track of the clock.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up reminders during your gaming session. At your chosen interval — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — 89pk will display a summary of your session time and net result, giving you a clear snapshot of where you stand and a prompt to decide whether to continue.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from 89pk without permanently closing your account. Choose a cool-off period of 24 hours, 1 week, or up to 6 weeks. During this time your account is locked for all deposits and wagering activity, but you can still withdraw any remaining balance.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once you reach your loss limit, you will not be able to place further wagers until the limit period resets. This tool is particularly useful for players who want to enjoy cricket betting or PSL matches without the risk of chasing losses.

Self-Exclusion

Request a full self-exclusion from 89pk for a minimum period of 6 months up to 5 years or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is completely locked and you will not receive any promotional communications. This is our most powerful responsible gaming tool — use it if you feel you need a genuine break.


How to Self-Exclude from 89pk

Self-exclusion is available to any 89pk player who feels they need a break from gambling — whether that is a short period of a few months or a permanent exit from the platform. We make the process straightforward, with no judgment and no barriers.

To initiate self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. State clearly that you wish to self-exclude and specify your preferred duration. Our team will process the request within 24 hours and send you a confirmation. Once active, the exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period — this is intentional, to ensure the protection holds when it matters most.

Self-Exclusion Periods Available

Choose the duration that best reflects the break you need. All options lock your account completely for deposits and wagering.

6 Months
1 Year
2 Years
5 Years
Permanent

After a self-exclusion period ends (except permanent), you must contact support to request re-activation. Accounts are not automatically re-opened — you must take a conscious step to return.

Step 1 — Contact Support

Reach out via live chat on the 89pk website or email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered username and desired exclusion period.

Step 2 — Identity Verification

Our team will verify your identity to ensure the exclusion is applied to the correct account. This takes under 10 minutes for verified accounts.

Step 3 — Account Locked

Within 24 hours, your account will be fully locked for all deposits, wagers, and promotional communications. You can still log in to withdraw any remaining balance.

Step 4 — Confirmation Sent

You will receive a confirmation email from [email protected] confirming the exclusion period, start date, and end date (if applicable). Keep this email for your records.

89pk's self-exclusion is governed by the terms of our international gaming licence. Players who self-exclude are also flagged in our marketing suppression list and will not receive bonus offers, promotional SMS messages, or re-engagement emails for the duration of the exclusion.


Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. If any of the following apply to you — or to someone close to you — please use the tools on this page or reach out for support.

Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, including rent, food money, or savings set aside for family needs
Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets to try to recover money already lost
Lying to family members or friends in Karachi, Lahore, or elsewhere about how much time or money you spend gambling
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to stop gambling or reduce how often you play
Gambling as a way to escape stress, problems at work, relationship difficulties, or emotional distress
Spending significantly more time gambling than originally planned, repeatedly failing to stick to time or money budgets
Borrowing money from friends, family, or taking loans to fund gambling activity
Neglecting work, study, family responsibilities, or daily prayers because of time spent gambling
Believing that a "big win" is always just around the corner and that winning back losses is a matter of time

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself: Please do not ignore them. Contact 89pk support to activate self-exclusion or deposit limits today. Recognising the problem early is the most important step — and asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.


Quick Responsible Gaming Check

Take a moment to reflect on your recent gambling habits. Answer honestly — this is for your benefit only and no data is sent anywhere.

Have you experienced any of the following in the past 30 days?

I spent more money on gambling than I planned to
I tried to stop or cut back on gambling but could not
I gambled to escape worry, stress, or a low mood
I hid my gambling from someone close to me

How to read your answers: If you answered Yes to two or more of the above questions, this may indicate that gambling is beginning to have a negative impact on your life. We strongly recommend activating deposit limits or a cool-off period on your 89pk account, and speaking to a trusted person about your concerns. If you answered Yes to four or more, please consider self-exclusion and speaking to a professional counsellor.

89pk's Responsible Gaming Principles

No Underage Gambling

89pk will never knowingly allow any player under the age of 21 to register or use our services. Age verification via CNIC or passport is mandatory before any deposit can be made. We take this obligation seriously and consider it non-negotiable.

Responsible Marketing

89pk does not target promotional communications at players who have self-excluded, activated cool-off periods, or set loss limits indicating financial stress. Our bonus offers are designed to add entertainment value, not to encourage excessive or compulsive play.

Behaviour Monitoring

Our platform monitors player account activity for behavioural patterns associated with problem gambling — such as rapid loss-chasing, sudden large deposit increases, or extended high-frequency play sessions. Flagged accounts are reviewed by our player protection team.

Trained Support Staff

Every member of the 89pk customer support team is trained to recognise and respond sensitively to players who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties. Our live chat agents are available 24/7 and are empowered to escalate responsible gaming concerns immediately.

Transparent Terms

All bonus terms, wagering requirements, and withdrawal conditions on 89pk are written in plain English and displayed prominently before acceptance. We do not hide conditions in small print, and our support team will always explain any term you are unsure about.

International Licence Standards

89pk operates under an international gaming licence that mandates specific responsible gaming obligations, including player protection tools, age verification, AML compliance, and access to dispute resolution mechanisms. Our licence framework holds us to standards beyond what any individual jurisdiction might require.
