Gaming on 988wen is meant to be entertaining — whether you're watching PSL and placing bets on your favourite team, spinning through slot games, or enjoying live casino. Keeping it that way is something we care about. This page covers the tools, habits and honest guidance that help Pakistan players stay in control of how they play.
Responsible gaming is not about telling people to stop playing. It's about playing in a way that stays within your means — financially, emotionally and time-wise. For the vast majority of players, sports betting on cricket or PSL and playing casino games is a straightforward form of entertainment. The key is keeping it that way.
Problems with gaming tend to develop gradually, often starting with chasing a loss or extending a session longer than planned. Recognising these patterns early makes a real difference. 988wen's responsible gaming tools exist so that if you ever feel like your gaming is getting out of balance, you have practical options to bring it back under control — without any judgement.
Everything on this page is for Pakistan players who want to keep their experience on 988wen positive and manageable. The tools are built into the platform and available to every account holder at any time.
Setting a deposit limit or taking a short break from the platform is a sign of good self-management — not a problem. Many regular players use these tools as part of how they normally manage their gaming activity.
Am I spending more on gaming than I planned this week or month?
Have I been playing longer sessions than I intended?
Am I chasing losses — depositing more to try to win back what I've lost?
Has gaming started affecting my sleep, work or relationships?
Am I using money meant for bills, groceries or family expenses to fund gaming?
Do I feel anxious or irritable when I'm not able to play?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, scroll down to the tools and steps available to you on 988wen.
These tools are built directly into the platform and available to every Pakistan player from their account settings at any time.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly limit on how much PKR you can deposit into your 988wen account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can reduce your limit at any time — increases take a cooling-off period to take effect.
Set a maximum session duration so the platform notifies you — or automatically ends your session — when you've been playing for a set amount of time. Keeping sessions to a defined length is one of the most effective ways to stay in control of your time.
Take a break from 988wen for a defined period — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During a cooling-off period, your account is paused and you won't be able to log in or place bets. The break activates immediately and cannot be cancelled early once set.
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for an extended period — typically months or longer. During self-exclusion, you cannot access your account, deposit, withdraw or place bets. Contact 988wen support to request self-exclusion at any time.
Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once that threshold is reached, betting and gaming are paused until the period resets. This keeps your losses predictable and within a budget you've chosen in advance.
Review your full betting and deposit history from within your account at any time. Seeing a clear picture of your actual gaming activity — time spent, amounts deposited and wagered — helps you make informed decisions about how you're playing.
All tools are accessible from your account settings. If you have difficulty finding or setting any of these tools, contact 988wen support — details are in the footer.
Gaming problems rarely appear all at once. These are the patterns that often signal things are getting out of balance — the earlier you notice them, the easier they are to address.
Depositing more than you originally planned in a single session
Chasing losses — topping up your balance to try to win back what you've lost

Feeling that gaming is something you need to do rather than something you enjoy
Setting limits on 988wen takes a couple of minutes. Here's how to do it from your account.
Go to 988wen and log in using your registered email or mobile number. All responsible gaming tools are only accessible from within a logged-in account.
Navigate to your account settings or profile section. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Gaming Limits" option — it's available to all account holders.
Select the type of limit you want to set — deposit limit, loss limit or session time limit. Choose the period (daily, weekly or monthly) and enter your preferred amount in PKR.
Confirm your choice. Limit reductions take effect immediately. If you increase a limit, a waiting period applies before the change activates — this is intentional and gives you time to reconsider.
Check your limits and activity history regularly — especially after a long session or a period of heavy betting. Keeping your limits up to date ensures they stay aligned with your current budget and goals.
If you cannot find the settings or want to set up a cooling-off period or self-exclusion, contact 988wen support directly. The team will assist you without delay — support contact details are in the footer.
Simple habits that keep gaming enjoyable and financially manageable over the long term.
Before the month starts, decide how much PKR you're comfortable spending on 988wen — whether that's betting on cricket, PSL matches or playing slots. Treat it the same way you'd budget for any other form of entertainment, and stop when the budget is used up.
If you've hit your loss limit for the day or the session, stop. Depositing more to try to recover losses is one of the fastest ways to turn a manageable gaming habit into a real problem. Accept the result, step away, and come back another time with a fresh budget.
Gaming funds should only ever come from money you have left over after essential expenses — rent, utilities, groceries, school fees. Using JazzCash or Easypaisa to deposit from your salary is fine; depositing money meant for household expenses is not.
Before opening 988wen, decide how long you're going to play. Set an alarm on your phone if needed. When the time is up, close the session — regardless of whether you're ahead or behind. Keeping sessions short and fixed helps prevent the "just one more bet" pattern.
Use the activity history in your account to review what you've actually deposited and wagered over the past week or month. It's easy to lose track when deposits are made in smaller PKR amounts. Seeing the full picture helps you make better decisions going forward.
If you feel like your gaming is getting difficult to manage, talk to a family member or close friend. Having someone who knows about your gaming activity creates a natural layer of accountability and makes it easier to stay on track with the limits you've set for yourself.
988wen is strictly for players aged 18 years and above. We verify the age of account holders during registration, and accounts found to belong to players under 18 are closed immediately with all activity voided.
If you share a device with family members — including younger siblings or children — please take the following steps to prevent underage access:
