q988 believes that gaming is at its best when it stays entertaining and within your control. Our Responsible Gaming framework gives every member across Pakistan — from Karachi to Lahore, Islamabad to Faisalabad — the tools, information, and support needed to stay in charge of their play.
Six practical tools q988 provides to keep you in control at all times
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly PKR deposit cap on your q988 account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Define how long you want to play in a single session. When your time is up, q988 will automatically log you out and display a cool-down prompt. You can set session reminders at 30-minute intervals to stay aware of how long you have been playing.
Cap the total amount you are comfortable losing over a set period. q988 will track your net losses in real time and suspend betting activity the moment your self-defined loss threshold is reached, protecting your bankroll and your peace of mind.
Enable periodic on-screen notifications that show you a summary of your current session — time spent, amount wagered, and net result. These reality checks are designed to break the flow of play and encourage a conscious decision about whether to continue.
Take a structured break from q988 for a fixed period — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period your account remains intact but all deposits, bets, and casino activity are suspended. This is a great first step if you feel you need some distance.
Request a full self-exclusion from q988 for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion your account is locked, marketing communications are stopped, and you will not be able to create a new account. This is our strongest protective measure and it is irrevocable for the chosen period.
Honest self-awareness is the first step. Watch out for these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about.
A straightforward process that gives you complete control over your account
If you feel that a break from q988 is the right decision, our self-exclusion process is simple, immediate, and fully confidential. You can choose a temporary cooling-off period or a permanent exclusion — the choice is always yours.
If you are unable to access your account settings or prefer to speak with someone directly, our 24/7 support team can initiate a self-exclusion on your behalf. All requests are treated with complete confidentiality.
Please note: once a self-exclusion is active it cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. This is by design — it is the strongest protection we can offer and we enforce it without exceptions.
All limits can be set or adjusted from your q988 account settings at any time

If you answer "yes" to three or more of the following questions, we strongly encourage you to use one of q988's responsible gaming tools or speak to our support team.
Every q988 service — sports betting, live casino, slots, and lottery-style games — is strictly reserved for individuals aged 21 and above. This is non-negotiable and rigorously enforced.
q988 implements mandatory age verification at multiple stages of the member journey. During registration, all new members are required to confirm they are aged 21 or above. Before any withdrawal is processed, our KYC team reviews identity documents — including CNIC or passport — to confirm that the account holder meets the minimum age requirement.
Any account found to belong to a minor is closed immediately, all funds are withheld pending review, and the case is referred to our compliance team. q988 takes underage gambling extremely seriously and cooperates fully with any regulatory investigation in this area.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians across Pakistan to use internet filtering software to prevent underage access to gaming websites. If you suspect a minor has registered a q988 account, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Gaming at q988 is meant to be a source of entertainment, not stress. Set your limits, use our tools, and play within a framework designed to keep you safe. Join thousands of responsible members across Pakistan playing cricket betting, slots, and live casino with confidence.
