Our Commitment
Gambling is a form of adult entertainment. When approached responsibly, it can be an exciting pastime — whether you are following Pakistan's cricket season, tracking PSL T20 matches or enjoying a late-night session at the live dealer tables. The key word is entertainment.
Problems arise when gambling shifts from entertainment to a coping mechanism, or when a player continues to chase losses beyond their means. 88fdo takes this seriously. We have designed a suite of player protection tools that are accessible directly from your account dashboard — no lengthy processes, no waiting periods for basic controls.
This page explains every tool available to you, the warning signs to watch for, and how to get immediate help if you need it. We also strongly encourage friends and family members of affected players to read through this material — problem gambling rarely affects only one person.
No person under 18 years of age — or the higher minimum required by the operator's licence jurisdiction — may register or use the Platform under any circumstances. We verify age at registration and during KYC.
Every registered player can set deposit, loss, wager and session time limits directly from their account at any time. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a mandatory cooling-off period.
Any player may request a temporary cool-off or permanent self-exclusion at any time. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the specified period and all marketing communications are suspended.
We do not hide odds, house edges or the statistical reality that the house holds a long-term mathematical advantage in all casino games. Informed players make better decisions.
How Limits Work
Limits are entirely personal — what works for one player may not suit another. The examples below illustrate how you might structure your limits in PKR. These are illustrative figures only; you choose whatever amounts feel right for your budget and playing style.
A sensible rule of thumb: never deposit more than you can comfortably afford to lose entirely. Gambling money should come from your disposable entertainment budget — never from savings, household expenses, borrowed funds or payment methods linked to essential bills.
Once you have set a limit reduction — for example, lowering your daily deposit limit from PKR 5,000 to PKR 2,000 — that change takes effect immediately and cannot be increased again for at least 24 hours. This cooling-off requirement is intentional: it prevents impulsive limit increases during an active losing session.
Restricts how much you can top up your account in a single calendar day. Resets at midnight PKT.
Caps your net losses over a rolling 7-day window. Wagering is paused when the limit is reached.
Automatically logs you out after your chosen session duration. A five-minute warning notification appears before the limit is reached.
A broader monthly cap that works alongside daily limits to enforce longer-term budget discipline.
Self-Assessment
The following questions are adapted from commonly used responsible gambling self-assessment frameworks. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to use one or more of the player protection tools available in your 88fdo account, or to seek independent support.
Have you ever spent more time or money gambling than you originally planned to?
Have you gambled with money that was needed for something else — such as household bills, food or transport costs?
Have you felt the need to gamble with larger and larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?
Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling and found it difficult?
Have you lied to family members or close friends about how much you gamble or how much money you have lost?
After losing money gambling, have you returned another day to try to win it back?
Has gambling ever negatively affected your work, education, sleep or important personal relationships?
Have you ever borrowed money, sold belongings or used credit specifically to fund gambling?
Getting Help
88fdo's internal tools are a first line of support, but independent professional help is available and we encourage players who need it to reach out. The following are general categories of support — please search for organisations operating in your jurisdiction for specific contact details.
Many jurisdictions maintain free, confidential helplines staffed by trained counsellors who specialise in problem gambling. Calls are typically available 24 hours a day and are free of charge. Search for the helpline operating in your region for accurate contact details.
Peer support groups — including Gamblers Anonymous and similar organisations — offer regular meetings and community support for individuals and their families. These are widely available internationally and increasingly accessible online.
Qualified counsellors and therapists with experience in addiction and behavioural issues can provide structured, evidence-based treatment. Your general practitioner or a mental health clinic can provide referrals appropriate to your location.
Problem gambling affects those close to the player as well. Dedicated support programmes exist for family members and partners of people experiencing gambling difficulties. Seeking support for yourself is just as valid and important.
Note for Pakistani users: Pakistan does not currently operate a government-regulated gambling framework or a national gambling helpline. If you are based in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or elsewhere in Pakistan and are seeking professional support, we recommend contacting a mental health professional or a general counselling service. Our 24/7 live chat team can also help you activate account-level protections immediately regardless of your location.
