Responsible Gambling at 7h88

Gambling at 7h88 is meant to be entertainment — nothing more. This page covers the tools, limits and support options that keep your play in the healthy zone, whether you're following a PSL match in Karachi or a T20 night from Lahore.

🔞 18+ Adults Only 🎯 Entertainment Only 🛡️ Self-Exclusion Available

Gambling Is Entertainment — Keep It That Way

7h88 is built for adults who want a well-designed betting and casino experience. From cricket markets covering Pakistan's biggest PSL clashes to live dealer tables available around the clock, the Platform offers genuine entertainment value. But we're completely clear about one thing: gambling is not a reliable way to make money, and it is never appropriate for people who are struggling financially, emotionally or with problem-gambling behaviour.

Responsible gambling isn't a box we tick. It's built into how 7h88 operates. Every registered account has access to deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, cool-off periods and full self-exclusion — all without needing to contact support. You can set, adjust or activate these controls directly from your account dashboard at any time.

This page explains what those tools do, how to recognise if gambling is becoming a problem, and where to find support. If you have a concern right now, please use the self-exclusion tool in your account or contact our support team immediately.

If gambling is causing financial, emotional or relationship harm — stop now, activate self-exclusion in your account, and speak with a trusted person or seek professional support. This is not legal advice. Users in Pakistan should understand that local gambling restrictions may apply.

Your Account Controls

Six tools built into every 7h88 account — use them any time, no support ticket needed

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week or per month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one has a mandatory cooling period.

Loss Limits

Cap how much you can lose over a defined period. Loss limits are calculated from settled bets and casino rounds, giving you a hard ceiling on downside risk during any given timeframe. Reductions apply instantly.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, the Platform will notify you and, if you choose, log you out automatically. Session reminders are useful if you find time passes quickly during PSL or T20 live betting.

Cool-Off Period

Take a structured break of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a cool-off, your account is restricted from deposits and betting activity. You can still log in to view your history and request withdrawal of existing balance.

Self-Exclusion

Fully block your account for a minimum of 6 months, up to 5 years or permanently. Self-exclusion is activated without delay. During the exclusion period, the account cannot be reopened. This is the strongest tool available and is recommended if gambling is causing harm.

Marketing Opt-Out

Unsubscribe from all promotional communications — bonus offers, match-day alerts, new-game notifications — at any time via your account settings or by contacting support. Transactional messages (deposit confirmations, withdrawal notices) continue as necessary.

How to Activate Controls

Setting limits or self-excluding takes under two minutes

1
Log In to Your Account

Access your 7h88 account from the homepage. All responsible-gambling controls are inside the Account section of your dashboard.

2
Navigate to Responsible Gambling

Find the "Responsible Gambling" or "Account Limits" section in your profile settings. All tools are grouped here for quick access.

3
Choose & Set Your Control

Select the tool you want — deposit limit, session timer, cool-off or self-exclusion. Enter the value or duration and confirm your choice.

4
Control Takes Effect

Restrictions that reduce your exposure apply immediately. Increases to existing limits have a mandatory delay to protect against impulsive decisions.

If you cannot access your account controls or need assistance activating a restriction urgently, contact our 24/7 support team directly. Support is available in English and Urdu.

Recognising Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. The earlier it's recognised, the easier it is to address. The following behaviours can signal that gambling is moving from entertainment into something more serious.

Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets to try to recover money already lost in the same session or over recent days.
Losing track of time — regularly spending more time on the Platform than intended, particularly during live events like PSL matches or overnight casino sessions.
Gambling with money earmarked for other purposes — using funds set aside for household expenses, school fees or other obligations to fund gambling activity.
Withdrawal from family and friends — reducing contact with people who might ask questions about time or money spent gambling.
Gambling to cope with stress or negative emotions — using betting or casino games as an escape from anxiety, pressure at work, or family difficulties rather than for entertainment.
Inability to stop despite wanting to — feeling compelled to continue gambling even when you have decided to stop or have reached your intended limit.
Borrowing money to gamble — taking loans, credit advances or borrowing from family members specifically to fund gambling activity.

Healthy Gambling Habits

These straightforward principles help keep gambling in the entertainment column for the vast majority of 7h88 users.

💰
Set a Fixed Budget Before You Start

Decide in advance — before logging in — how much you are comfortable spending. Treat it as the cost of entertainment, the same way you would budget for a cinema trip or a cricket match ticket in Rawalpindi. Use 7h88's deposit limit to enforce that budget automatically.

⏱️
Allocate Time — and Stick to It

Decide how long you'll play before you open the app. Set a session timer in your account so the Platform enforces it. Taking regular breaks — even during exciting live betting on a T20 knockout — keeps perspective and prevents impulsive decisions.

🎯
Never View Gambling as Income

The house has a mathematical edge over the long run on all casino games. Sports-betting outcomes are uncertain. No strategy, system or pattern guarantees profit. Gambling at 7h88 is entertainment with financial risk — not a substitute for employment or savings.

🧠
Avoid Gambling When Emotional

Gambling under emotional stress — following a difficult day in Islamabad's traffic, a family disagreement or financial worry — makes impulse control significantly harder. Take a break or activate a cool-off period instead.

Quick Self-Assessment

If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we encourage you to use 7h88's responsible-gambling tools or speak to a support professional.

01Have you ever spent more money or time gambling than you originally intended in a single session?
02Have you ever tried to win back money you had lost by gambling more in the same session?
03Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund gambling activity?
04Has gambling ever caused conflict with a family member, partner or friend in Karachi, Lahore, Multan or elsewhere?
05Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you have started, even if you have reached your intended limit?
06Have you ever felt anxious, irritable or restless when attempting to cut down or stop gambling?
07Have you ever hidden your gambling activity from people you are close to?
08Has gambling ever negatively affected your performance at work, your studies or your family responsibilities?
09Have you ever gambled as a primary way of dealing with stress, worry or emotional distress?
10Have you found yourself thinking about gambling frequently when you are not currently playing?
This self-assessment is for personal awareness only and is not a clinical diagnostic tool. If your responses concern you, please activate self-exclusion or contact our support team. Professional gambling support resources are available in many jurisdictions — seek guidance from a qualified counsellor if needed.

18+ Adults Only — No Exceptions

7h88 strictly enforces an 18+ age requirement — or the higher minimum required by the Operator's licence jurisdiction or any applicable local law. Age verification is conducted as part of the KYC process before any withdrawal is processed, and the Platform reserves the right to conduct age checks at any point during account activity.

Accounts found to belong to individuals below the applicable minimum age are closed immediately and all deposits are handled in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. We do not permit underage play, and we do not direct any marketing materials toward minors.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor in your household may have accessed 7h88, please contact our support team immediately and consider using a parental-control software solution to restrict access to gambling websites on shared devices.

🎗️
Gamblers Anonymous (International)

Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is an international fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other to solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling problem. GA operates a 12-step programme and has chapters in multiple countries. Information is available in multiple languages including Urdu. Contact via the official Gamblers Anonymous website (not linked here) for meeting information relevant to your location.

🧑‍⚕️
Professional Counselling

Licensed mental health professionals and counsellors in Pakistan's major cities — including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar — can provide confidential support for gambling-related issues. A qualified psychologist or counsellor can help address underlying factors such as stress, anxiety or depression that may be contributing to problem-gambling behaviour. Speak to a GP or mental health professional for a referral.

🏠
Family & Community Support

In Pakistani society, family networks play a central role in wellbeing. Speaking openly with a trusted family member — a parent, sibling or spouse — about gambling concerns can be a powerful first step. Family members who are affected by a loved one's gambling can also benefit from support groups such as Gam-Anon, the support organisation for families of people with gambling problems.

Pakistan-specific legal context: Pakistan has gambling restrictions in force, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. 7h88 does not claim endorsement or licensing from any Pakistani government body, the PTA, State Bank of Pakistan or any provincial authority. Users are solely responsible for compliance with applicable local law. The responsible-gambling tools described on this page are provided by the Platform Operator and do not constitute government-mandated provision.

The 7h88 Responsible Gambling Pledge

We will never intentionally market to vulnerable users, individuals who have self-excluded, or people showing indicators of problem gambling. We will keep our responsible-gambling tools accessible, effective and free of charge to all registered users. We will respond promptly to any user who contacts us for help. And we will continue to be transparent about what 7h88 is: an entertainment platform, not a path to financial gain. Gambling involves risk — please only wager what you can comfortably afford to lose.
