Responsible Gaming
sports 88 believes that gaming should always be a form of entertainment, never a source of financial stress or personal harm.

Know your limits.
Built-in Player Protection
sports 88 Responsible Gaming
Tools & Controls
Every sports 88 account comes equipped with a full set of responsible gaming controls. You can activate or adjust these at any time directly from your account dashboard — no need to contact support unless you want personal assistance.
PKR Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit into your sports 88 wallet. Once you set a lower limit, it takes effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period, giving you time to reconsider. Minimum limit: 500 PKR per day.
Activates ImmediatelyPKR Loss Limits
Define the maximum PKR amount you are comfortable losing within a set timeframe — daily, weekly, or monthly. When your loss reaches the defined threshold, the platform will automatically prevent further wagers until the limit period resets. Reducing a loss limit takes effect at once.
Activates ImmediatelyWagering Time Limits
Set a cap on the total number of hours you spend on the sports 88 platform per day or per week. Once your time limit is reached, your session will end automatically and you will not be able to log back in until the limit period resets. A useful control for managing cricket season or HBL PSL tournament play intensity.
Hourly or DailyReality Check Reminders
Receive a pop-up notification at regular intervals — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — showing you how long you have been playing and your net PKR gaming result for the session. Reality checks help maintain perspective and prevent sessions from extending further than intended.
Every 30–90 MinutesTemporary Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from sports 88 gaming without fully closing your account. Cool-off periods are available for 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, you cannot deposit PKR, place bets, or access games — but your account and PKR balance are preserved for when you return.
24 Hours to 30 DaysSelf-Exclusion
If you feel your gambling has become a problem, self-exclusion allows you to block access to sports 88 for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of your request and cannot be reversed during the active exclusion period. Your PKR balance will be returned to your registered Easypaisa or JazzCash account after identity verification.
Minimum 6 MonthsKnow the Signs
Warning Signs of
Problem Gambling
Gambling problems rarely appear overnight — they develop gradually. sports 88 wants every Pakistani player to be aware of the early warning signs so that help can be sought before harm escalates. If any of the following patterns apply to you or someone you care about, please consider using the sports 88 self-exclusion tool or reaching out to the support contacts listed on this page. Remember: seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Chasing Losses
Repeatedly depositing more PKR to try to win back money you have lost, rather than accepting the loss and stepping away from the session.
Gambling Beyond Your Means
Wagering PKR amounts that are beyond your entertainment budget — using money intended for rent, groceries, utility bills, or family needs.
Inability to Stop
Finding it difficult to end a gaming session even when you planned to stop, or feeling restless and irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
Gambling Dominating Your Thoughts
Spending significant time thinking about past sessions, planning future bets, or looking for ways to get money to wager even when not actively playing on sports 88.
Concealing Gambling Activity
Hiding Easypaisa or JazzCash transaction history, lying to family members about time spent on sports 88, or feeling shame and guilt after gambling sessions.
Borrowing Money to Gamble
Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or selling assets specifically to fund gambling deposits — a clear indicator that play has moved from entertainment to dependency.
Self-Assessment
Ask Yourself These
Honest Questions
Honest self-reflection is the first step toward maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming. Consider the following questions carefully. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we encourage you to use the sports 88 responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.
Have you ever gambled with money you needed for essential household expenses — rent, food, or utility bills payable in PKR?
Have you tried to set a limit on your sports 88 play but consistently found yourself exceeding it?
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or low in mood on days when you have not been able to gamble?
Have you lied to a family member, friend, or colleague about the time or money you spend gambling on sports 88?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings specifically to fund a deposit or continue a gambling session?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day, even when you are at work, with family, or trying to sleep?
Have you continued gambling to try to recover PKR losses, even after deciding that you would stop after a specific loss amount?
