PS888 believes that betting should be an enjoyable, controlled activity — never a source of financial hardship or personal distress. This page sets out the tools, policies and guidance we have in place to help you stay in control, whether you are betting on Pakistan cricket, PSL T20 matches, live casino or any other game available on the platform.
For most people who use PS888, betting is a recreational activity — a way to add some extra interest to a PSL semi-final, an ICC World Cup knockout, a Karachi Kings fixture or a UFC main event. It is meant to be entertaining, and for the vast majority of users it stays exactly that.
We also know that for a minority of people, gambling can stop being fun and start causing real harm. Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of city, income level or betting experience — whether you are based in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad or anywhere else across Pakistan.
That is why PS888 takes responsible gambling seriously. We provide a range of practical tools to help you manage your activity, and we will always act quickly if we believe a player may be experiencing harm. We also encourage you to set limits before you feel you need them — not after.
Every PS888 account goes through mandatory age and identity verification. No one under 18 — or the higher minimum required by the applicable licence jurisdiction — may open or operate an account.
Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit and loss limits directly from your account settings. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered instantly — increases require a mandatory cooling-off period.
Use session time reminders and reality checks to keep track of how long you have been playing. You can also set a hard daily session limit that will log you out automatically once reached.
If you feel you need a break, you can request a temporary cooling-off period or a longer self-exclusion. During exclusion, your account is locked and you cannot be re-activated until the period expires.
PS888 enforces a strict minimum age policy. You must be at least 18 years of age, or the higher minimum required by the applicable operator licence jurisdiction, to create an account, make a deposit or place any bet on the platform. This is a non-negotiable requirement, not a guideline.
During the KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process, you will be required to submit a valid government-issued photo ID — such as a Pakistani CNIC, passport or driving licence — to confirm both your identity and your date of birth. Accounts that cannot be verified will be restricted until verification is complete.
PS888 also asks all users to help protect young people in their households. If you share a device with family members, please ensure your account is protected with a strong password and that you log out after each session. Parental control software can add an extra layer of protection if children use the same device.
Important: Meeting the 18+ age requirement does not by itself make gambling lawful in Pakistan. Local laws — including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 — may restrict or prohibit online gambling. Players are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the laws of their own jurisdiction. This page does not constitute legal advice.
We recommend the following steps if children share your device or home network:
PS888 provides a full suite of limit and control tools accessible from your account settings. You are encouraged to configure these tools when you first register — before you feel any need for them.
Cap the total amount you can deposit in a 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day window. Quoted in PKR (e.g., PKR 5,000 / day). Reductions apply immediately; increases take effect after a mandatory review period.
Set the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a defined period. Once your loss limit is reached, further betting is suspended until the period resets. A practical guardrail for big-match days.
Define the maximum number of minutes or hours you spend on the platform in a single session. A reality-check notification can be configured to alert you at set intervals during your session.
Take a short voluntary break of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Your account is suspended for the chosen duration. No marketing emails will be sent during your cooling-off period.
How to set your limits: Log in to your PS888 account, navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gambling and choose the limit type you want to configure. All changes are logged with a timestamp. If you experience any difficulty applying a limit, contact our support team immediately via live chat or at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link).
If you feel that gambling is no longer under your control, or if you simply want a longer break than a cooling-off period provides, PS888 offers a formal self-exclusion programme. Self-exclusion is a more serious commitment than a cooling-off period and comes with stronger protections.
During self-exclusion, your account is fully locked, all pending promotional communications are cancelled, and you are removed from marketing lists. Winnings from bets placed in breach of an active self-exclusion will be handled in accordance with the applicable operator licence terms.
Self-exclusion is not reversible until the chosen period has fully elapsed. Please consider your decision carefully. Once applied, PS888 support staff cannot lift a self-exclusion early, regardless of the reason given.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Asking yourself the following questions honestly is a useful first step. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these, consider reaching out for support.
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — planning your next session or replaying past bets — even when you are doing other things?
Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so for more than a short period?
Do you bet with money that was intended for essential expenses — rent, household bills, school fees or daily living costs?
Have you borrowed money, sold possessions or relied on family members to fund your gambling or cover gambling-related losses?
Do you feel restless, anxious or irritable when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce the amount you bet?
Have you concealed the extent of your gambling from family, friends or colleagues because you were concerned about their reaction?
Do you find yourself chasing losses — placing further bets in an attempt to recover money you have already lost?
Has gambling caused significant conflict, stress or financial difficulty in your relationships at home or at work?
