Quick Reminder

Gaming is entertainment — like watching a PSL match or going out with friends. It has a cost. Set your budget before you play, stick to it, and walk away when you have reached it.

If it stops being fun, it is time to take a break.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means treating online betting and casino games as a form of entertainment — something you choose to do within a budget you have set aside, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. At 99sb, we want every Pakistani player to enjoy cricket betting, PSL markets, slots and live casino games with full awareness of the risks involved and the tools available to stay in control.

Gaming is unpredictable by nature. The outcome of a PSL match, a T20 innings or a slot spin cannot be reliably predicted, and the house edge in casino games means that over time, losses are a normal part of the experience. That is not a reason not to enjoy it — it is simply the reality of how these products work, and understanding it upfront makes for a much healthier relationship with the platform.

Responsible gaming is not about playing less. It is about playing with awareness. Setting a budget before you open the app, knowing when to stop, not chasing losses after a bad session and never depositing money that you need for essential expenses — these are the habits that separate enjoyable entertainment from something that causes harm.

99sb is strictly an adults-only platform. You must be 18 years of age or older to register and use the platform. Age verification is part of our standard account process and we take underage access seriously. See the Terms and Conditions for full details.

Responsible Gaming Tools on 99sb

We have built a set of practical tools directly into the 99sb platform so that managing your gaming activity is straightforward, not something you have to hunt for. These tools are available to every registered player and can be activated through your account settings at any time.

Deposit Limits

You can set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week or per month in PKR. Once a limit is in place, the platform will not allow you to deposit beyond that amount in the chosen period. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising a limit has a cooling-off period before it becomes active — this is intentional, giving you time to reconsider if you set a higher limit on impulse.

Session Time Reminders

You can set a session duration reminder so that after a chosen period of play, a notification appears reminding you how long you have been active. This is a simple but genuinely useful nudge — it is easy to lose track of time during a close PSL match or a long slot session. The reminder does not force you to stop, but it creates a moment of awareness that many players find helpful.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from the platform, you can activate a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During this time your account will be suspended for deposits and gameplay. This is less drastic than full self-exclusion and is designed for players who want a temporary pause rather than a complete exit.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is available for players who feel they need a longer break or a permanent exit from the platform. You can request self-exclusion for a minimum period of six months. During self-exclusion, your account is closed, you cannot register a new account and any bonuses or promotional material will be withheld. Self-exclusion is a serious tool — we take these requests seriously and action them promptly. To request self-exclusion, contact the platform support team through your account.

Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, you can set a maximum loss amount over a defined period. Once your net losses hit that ceiling, further play is paused until the period resets. This is particularly useful for players who find it easy to manage deposits but less easy to walk away during a losing run.

All responsible gaming tools are available in your account settings. If you have difficulty locating or activating any of these tools, contact our support team and they will assist you. Requests to reduce limits or activate cooling-off and self-exclusion are always actioned without question and without delay.

Budget & Time Management Tips

These are not restrictions imposed by the platform — they are practical habits that players who enjoy gaming long-term naturally develop. Whether you are betting on cricket, playing slots or joining a live casino table, the same principles apply.

  • 01 Decide your budget before you open the platform. Pick a fixed amount in PKR that you are genuinely comfortable losing — not an amount you hope to recover. Treat it the way you would treat money spent on a night out or match tickets for a PSL game.
  • 02 Never chase losses. If you have lost your session budget, stop. The instinct to keep playing until you break even is one of the most common ways casual gaming becomes a problem. Losses happen — they are part of the game. Accept them and come back another day.
  • 03 Set a time limit alongside your money limit. Decide in advance how long you want to play — one hour, two hours — and stick to it. Use the session reminder tool on 99sb to get a nudge when your time is up.
  • 04 Do not deposit money you need for essentials. Rent, utility bills, groceries, school fees — these come first. Gaming deposits should only ever come from disposable income. If you find yourself thinking about using essential funds to play, that is a serious warning sign.
  • 05 Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen regularly during a session. A short break resets your perspective and prevents the kind of autopilot state where bets are placed without real thought.
  • 06 Do not play when you are stressed, upset or tired. Emotional states affect decision-making. Placing bets on a PSL match when you are frustrated or exhausted often leads to poor choices and bigger losses. Play when you are relaxed and in the right headspace.
  • 07 Keep gaming separate from other activities. Avoid playing while working, studying or when you have other commitments. Gaming deserves its own dedicated time so it stays in its proper place in your life.
  • 08 Talk to someone you trust. If you are finding it hard to stick to your budget or limits, speak to a family member or friend. Having an external voice can be genuinely useful when self-management gets difficult.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gaming rarely appears all at once. It tends to develop gradually, and the early signs are often easy to rationalise. Being aware of the following patterns — in yourself or someone close to you — is the first step toward addressing them before they escalate.

Spending more PKR than planned on a regular basis
Thinking about gaming even when doing other things
Chasing losses to try to get back to even
Borrowing money or hiding spending from family
Feeling irritable or anxious when not able to play
Neglecting work, studies or family time to play
Gaming to escape stress, anxiety or personal problems
Repeatedly failing to stick to self-imposed limits
Feeling guilt or shame about how much you gamble
Depositing using essential household funds

If you recognise three or more of these patterns in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use the cooling-off or self-exclusion tools on 99sb and speak with a trusted person in your life. Taking action early makes a real difference. There is no shame in stepping back — it is the responsible and sensible thing to do.

This self-assessment is for personal reflection only — your answers are not submitted or stored anywhere. If your honest answers concern you, please use the responsible gaming tools in your account or reach out to the 99sb support team to discuss your options.

Protecting Minors

99sb is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We take our responsibility to prevent underage access seriously and apply the following measures as a matter of standard practice.

  • Age confirmation is required at the point of registration. Players must confirm they are 18 or older before an account can be created.
  • We may request identity documents — including CNIC — at any point to verify a player's age. Accounts where age cannot be confirmed will be suspended pending verification.
  • Any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be immediately closed, and any remaining balance will be handled in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
  • We do not target advertising or promotional content toward individuals who are not adults.

Advice for Parents and Guardians

If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend keeping your 99sb account credentials private and logging out after each session. If you suspect a minor has accessed a gaming platform using your details or their own false registration, contact the platform support team immediately. Early intervention prevents greater harm.

If you believe a minor has registered on 99sb, contact support right away through the platform. We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay. Protecting young people is non-negotiable and takes priority over any other account considerations.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Log in to your 99sb account and go to account settings. Under the Responsible Gaming section, you will find the option to set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits in PKR. Enter your preferred limit and confirm. The limit becomes active immediately. Reducing your limit takes effect right away, while any request to increase a limit will have a short cooling-off delay before it applies.

A cooling-off period is a short, temporary pause — from 24 hours up to 30 days — during which your account is suspended for deposits and play. It is designed for players who need a break but plan to return. Self-exclusion is a longer, more formal commitment — a minimum of six months — where your account is closed and you cannot re-register. Self-exclusion is the appropriate tool if you feel your gaming has become difficult to control.

No. Once a self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be reversed until the agreed exclusion period has fully elapsed. This is intentional — the purpose of self-exclusion is to provide a firm boundary, not a flexible one. Once the minimum period has passed, you may contact support to discuss reactivating your account, at which point a further reflection period will apply before access is restored.

Your personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not sell or share your gaming activity data with third parties for marketing purposes. Data may be shared with payment providers to process PKR transactions, and with identity verification partners as part of our KYC process. Full details are available on the Privacy Policy page.

If you are concerned about a family member, the most direct step is an honest conversation with them about what you have noticed. Encouraging them to use the responsible gaming tools available on 99sb — deposit limits, cooling-off or self-exclusion — can be a practical starting point. If you believe the person is a minor using the platform, contact 99sb support immediately with as much detail as you can provide.
Our Responsible Gaming Commitments

The practical ways 99sb supports healthy, sustainable gaming for every Pakistani player on the platform.

Every player can set deposit, loss and session time limits directly from their account. These tools are built in, always available and take effect without any delay when you need them most.

Strict 18+ Verification

Age verification is mandatory at registration and may be requested at any point during account use. We do not allow underage players on the platform, full stop.

We are transparent about how our games work and how odds are set. Understanding that the house edge exists — in cricket betting, slots or live casino — is part of playing responsibly and with realistic expectations.

Dedicated Support Access

Our support team is available to help with responsible gaming requests — from setting limits to requesting self-exclusion. No judgement, no friction. We are here to help, not to persuade you to keep playing.
