Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Problem

At 99com, responsible gaming is not a box to tick — it is a core part of how we run the platform. We genuinely want players to enjoy cricket betting during PSL season, spin slots for fun and explore the live casino without it ever becoming something that causes stress or financial pressure in their daily lives.

The reality is that online gaming, like any form of entertainment, can stop being fun if a person loses track of how much time or money they are spending. That shift can happen gradually and is not a sign of weakness — it is just how these activities are designed. The key is having tools in place so you can recognise the shift early and take action before things go too far.

Every registered 99com account comes with a set of responsible gaming controls that you can access and adjust any time. These are not there to get in your way — they are there so that you stay in the driver's seat, not the other way around.

Gaming vs Gambling Problems

There is a clear difference between enjoying gaming as entertainment and developing a problem. Recreational gaming means you play within a budget you are comfortable with, you stop when you planned to and you can take a break without it bothering you. Problem gaming starts when the activity begins to affect your finances, relationships, work or mental state — or when you feel like you cannot stop even though you want to.

Most 99com players never reach that point. But for those who do, or who feel they might be heading that way, the tools and support described on this page are here for exactly that reason.

Remember before every session: Set a budget in PKR you are comfortable losing entirely. Treat that amount as the cost of entertainment — like buying a match ticket or going out for dinner. If you hit that budget, stop. Do not top up expecting to win it back.

  • Set a budget before you start — decide on a PKR amount you can afford to spend and stick to it regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
  • Never chase losses — if you have had a losing session, increasing your bets to recover the money almost always makes things worse. The next session starts fresh.
  • Play with free time — only play when you genuinely have time to relax and enjoy it. Do not log in during work hours, family time or when you are stressed or upset.
  • Take regular breaks — even during a winning session, stepping away for a few minutes helps you stay clear-headed and in control.
  • Keep gaming in perspective — cricket betting and casino games are entertainment, not a side income or a financial strategy. Wins are a bonus, not a plan.
  • Talk to someone — if gaming is causing you stress, talk to a friend, family member or contact 99com support. There is no shame in asking for help.

Responsible Gaming Tools on 99com

Every tool below is available inside your 99com account settings. You can activate or adjust them at any time by contacting support via live chat.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly maximum deposit amount in PKR. Once a limit is active, you cannot deposit more than that amount in the selected period. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period before the higher amount becomes active — this is by design, giving you time to reconsider.

Session Time Reminders

Choose how long you want each gaming session to last. When you reach your set duration, 99com displays an on-screen reminder showing how long you have been playing and a summary of your session's wins and losses. You can then choose to continue or log out. This tool is especially useful for players who lose track of time during long T20 or PSL betting sessions.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a structured break, self-exclusion suspends your account for a period you choose — from a short cooling-off period to an indefinite suspension. During self-exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit or receive promotional messages. To lift a temporary exclusion, a mandatory waiting period applies so the break is meaningful, not just a click away.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you exactly how long your current session has lasted and a quick summary of your net result so far. Reality checks interrupt the flow of play just enough to keep you aware — without forcing you to stop. You decide how frequently the reminders appear.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum PKR amount you are willing to lose in a given day, week or month. Once you reach that threshold, the platform automatically restricts further play for that period. This tool works alongside deposit limits to give you a full picture of your actual spending — not just deposits, but net losses over time.

Take a Break

Sometimes you just need a short pause without committing to a full self-exclusion. The Take a Break option lets you suspend your account for 24 hours, 48 hours or up to one week. During the break your account is inaccessible. When the period ends, access is restored automatically — no need to contact support unless you want to extend the break.

When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Most players never develop a problem. But it is worth knowing what the early warning signs look like — both for yourself and for people you care about. Recognising these signs early makes it much easier to take a step back before the situation becomes serious.

If several of the signs below apply to you, please consider using the self-exclusion tool or contacting 99com support to discuss your options. There is no judgment — just practical help.

  • Chasing losses: Depositing more PKR after a losing session specifically to try to win the money back.
  • Spending beyond your budget: Regularly depositing more than you planned or can comfortably afford.
  • Borrowing to fund gaming: Using borrowed money — from family, friends or any credit source — to deposit and play.
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, studies, family commitments or daily tasks because of time spent gaming.
  • Gaming to escape stress: Turning to betting or casino games as a way of coping with anxiety, family problems or financial worries — rather than for fun.
  • Hiding your activity: Concealing how much time or money you spend on gaming from people close to you.
  • Inability to stop: Feeling unable to stop a session even when you intended to — or returning to play very soon after you stop.
  • Irritability when not playing: Feeling restless, anxious or irritable when you are away from the platform for a period.

Ask Yourself These Questions

Go through this short self-check honestly. There are no right or wrong answers — it is just a way to get a clear picture of where you stand.

Do you spend more than you planned?

Think about your last five sessions. Did you stick to your original PKR budget, or did you top up more than once? Consistent overspending is an early flag worth paying attention to.

Do you think about gaming when you are not playing?

Occasionally thinking about an upcoming PSL match or a slot you want to try is normal. Constantly thinking about gaming — especially in ways that distract you from daily life — is worth taking seriously.

Has gaming affected your finances or relationships?

If people close to you have raised concerns, or if you have had to delay paying bills or daily expenses because of gaming spend, these are strong signals that a break or limit adjustment is needed.

Would you be uncomfortable if others knew how much you play?

A good rule of thumb: if you would feel uncomfortable being completely open about your gaming habits with someone you trust, it is worth reflecting on whether those habits are where you want them to be.

Keeping Under-18s Safe

99com is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We take this seriously because the platform involves real PKR transactions and gaming content that is designed for adults. Underage access is something we actively work to prevent — not just as a policy, but because it is the right thing to do.

Every new account requires a date of birth at registration. Where there is any reason to question whether an account holder meets the age requirement, 99com may request identity verification before the account can be used further. Accounts found to have been registered by someone under 18 are closed immediately and any deposited PKR is returned.

For Parents and Guardians

If you share a device with younger family members, the simplest steps are also the most effective ones. Log out of your 99com account when you are not using the device. Use your device's built-in parental controls or a dedicated parental control application to restrict access to gaming and betting websites. Keep your login credentials private — do not save your password in a browser that children can access.

If you believe a minor has accessed or registered a 99com account, contact support via live chat immediately. We will investigate and act as fast as possible.

Steps to Protect Your Household

Use Device Screen Time Controls

Both Android and iOS have built-in screen time and app restriction tools. Set them up on any device a child uses to block access to gaming websites and apps.

Never Share Your Login

Keep your 99com username and password to yourself. Do not save them in shared browsers. Enable two-factor authentication if available for an extra layer of protection.

Router-Level Filtering

Most home routers include content filtering options that can block categories of websites including gambling and betting. Your internet provider may also offer family filtering tools at no extra cost.

Have an Open Conversation

Talking to teenagers about online gaming, betting and the real cost of gambling — including how the house always has an edge — is one of the most effective protective steps any parent can take.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Log in to your 99com account and open the account settings menu. Under the Responsible Gaming section you will find deposit limit options for daily, weekly and monthly periods. Enter the PKR amount you want as your limit and confirm. The limit takes effect immediately. If you want to reduce the limit, it applies straight away. If you want to increase it, there is a mandatory waiting period before the higher amount becomes active.

When self-exclusion is active, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. However, any PKR balance remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion is preserved and can be withdrawn once the exclusion period ends and your account is accessible again. If you need to withdraw your balance during an active self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat and they will assist you through the process.

The most important first step is having an honest, non-judgmental conversation with them about what you have noticed. If they are open to it, encourage them to use the self-exclusion or deposit limit tools on their 99com account. If the situation is more serious or they are resistant to talking, consider seeking guidance from a mental health professional who has experience with behavioural issues. You can also contact 99com support and we can advise on what options are available from our side.

Yes. You can request a permanent account closure at any time by contacting 99com support. Before closing the account, any remaining PKR balance will be withdrawn to your verified payment account. Once a permanent closure is confirmed, the account cannot be reopened. If you are considering closure primarily because of concerns about your gaming habits rather than because you simply no longer want to use the platform, we would encourage you to first try a self-exclusion period to see if that addresses the concern without full closure.

Yes. Session time reminders and reality checks can be configured to appear automatically based on the intervals you set in your account. In addition, if our system detects unusual patterns in your activity — such as significantly increased deposit frequency or extended session lengths — a support team member may reach out proactively to check in. This is not intrusive monitoring; it is part of our commitment to player wellbeing and happens only when clear patterns emerge.

The minimum age to register and play on 99com is 18 years. Date of birth is required at registration and our system flags accounts where the provided age is below 18. For accounts where there is any doubt about the age of the holder — for example if behaviour patterns or account information raise questions — identity verification may be required before the account can deposit or play. Any account confirmed to belong to someone under 18 is closed immediately, PKR is returned and the matter is treated seriously.
