The Six Pillars of 988wim Player Protection

988wim's responsible gaming programme is built on six core principles that shape every feature, every policy decision, and every player interaction on the platform.

Age Verification — 21+ Always

Every new 988wim account goes through a mandatory KYC process that confirms identity and age before any real-money gaming begins. CNIC verification is required. No player under 21 is permitted on the platform under any circumstance — and this is checked, not just declared.

Deposit & Loss Limits

988wim lets you set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits as well as loss limits directly from your account dashboard. Once a limit is set it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory cooling-off period — decreasing one is instant.

Session Time Controls

It is easy to lose track of time while gaming. 988wim lets you set a maximum session duration after which you will be automatically logged out. You can also enable on-screen session reminders that pop up at intervals you choose — 30, 60, or 90 minutes.

Self-Exclusion Tools

If you feel you need a break, 988wim's self-exclusion feature lets you suspend your account for a defined period — 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months — or permanently. During exclusion, you cannot log in, receive bonus offers, or be contacted for promotions. This is the most powerful player protection tool we offer.

Reality Check & History

Your full gaming history — every session, every wager, every win and loss — is available in your account at any time. Transparency about your own behaviour is a powerful tool. 988wim never hides your activity history or makes it difficult to review your spending patterns.

24/7 Support & Referrals

988wim's support team is trained in responsible gaming and available around the clock via live chat. If you are struggling, our team will listen without judgment and can guide you toward professional support resources. You will never be pressured to keep playing.


Self-Exclusion — How It Works at 988wim

Self-exclusion at 988wim is designed to be straightforward, immediate, and effective. It is not buried in account settings — it is accessible in two clicks from your dashboard. Here is exactly what happens when you activate it:

Important: Once a self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed until the chosen period expires. A permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances. This is intentional — it means the tool works when you need it most.

If you are a permanent self-exclusion holder and believe your details have been entered into a new account without your consent, contact our support team immediately at [email protected] — we take these reports with the utmost seriousness.

01
Choose Your Period

Select 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or permanent exclusion from the Responsible Gaming section in your account dashboard.

02
Instant Account Lock

Your account is locked immediately upon confirmation. You will be logged out and cannot access the platform for the duration of your chosen period.

03
All Promotions Halted

All bonus offers, promotional emails, SMS messages, and marketing communications are suspended for the entire exclusion period. You will not receive any gaming-related content from 988wim.

04
Balance Protection

Any withdrawable balance in your account at the time of exclusion remains secure. You may request withdrawal of your available balance via customer support during the exclusion period.

05
Reactivation Process

For time-limited exclusions, reactivation after expiry requires contacting support and passing a 24-hour reflection period. We do not allow instant reactivation — your wellbeing matters more than our revenue.

06
Third-Party Request

A trusted family member or friend in Pakistan can contact 988wim support on your behalf to initiate an exclusion if they believe you are at risk. Verification of identity will be required.


Set Your Own Limits — Before You Need To

The smartest time to set responsible gaming limits is before you feel you need them. 988wim makes it simple to put boundaries in place right from your first session.

Daily Deposit Limit Cap the total PKR amount you can deposit in any 24-hour period. Takes effect immediately when set.
Configurable
Weekly Deposit Limit A rolling 7-day cap on total deposits. Automatically resets each week at the same day and time you set it.
Configurable
Monthly Deposit Limit A calendar-month ceiling on your total deposits. Useful for players who manage budgets on a monthly salary cycle.
Configurable
Loss Limit Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose per day, week, or month. Once hit, your account pauses for that period.
Configurable
Session Time Limit Automatically end your session after a set number of minutes. A pop-up warning appears 5 minutes before your limit is reached.
Configurable

All limit reductions are applied instantly. Increases to existing limits require a 24-hour waiting period before they come into effect — this gives you time to reconsider and change your mind. 988wim staff cannot override or bypass limits on your behalf.


Are You Gaming Responsibly?

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion or limit tools on this page, or reach out to our support team.

1

Do you find yourself spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can comfortably afford?

2

Have you ever borrowed money from family members, friends, or taken an advance on your salary in Karachi, Lahore, or elsewhere to fund your gaming sessions?

3

Do you feel irritable, anxious, or restless when you are not gaming, or when you try to reduce how much you play?

4

Have you tried to win back money you have lost by placing more bets — sometimes called "chasing losses"?

5

Has gaming started to affect your work performance, your relationships with family, or your daily responsibilities?

6

Do you hide or downplay how much time or money you spend on gaming when talking to people close to you?

7

Have you ever felt that gaming is the only way to escape from stress, problems at work, or difficult personal situations?

8

Do you continue playing even after you have decided you want to stop for the day?

Two or more "yes" answers is a signal worth taking seriously. Problem gambling is a recognised condition, not a personal failing. 988wim's support team is available 24/7 via live chat. Reaching out is free, confidential, and has no impact on your account status unless you choose to take action yourself.


Responsible Gaming FAQ

988wim's international gaming licence sets the minimum age at 21. This is a firm regulatory requirement, not a suggestion. Younger players are at significantly greater risk of developing problem gambling behaviours, and 988wim will not compromise on this standard. Every account is verified via CNIC or passport before real-money play is permitted.

Log in to your 988wim account, navigate to "Account Settings," and select "Responsible Gaming." From there, choose "Self-Exclusion," select your preferred period, and confirm. The exclusion takes effect immediately. If you are unable to log in and need urgent exclusion, contact our support team via live chat or at [email protected] and we will process it for you.

Yes. Your account balance is protected throughout any self-exclusion period. You cannot place bets or access the gaming lobby, but you may request a withdrawal of your available balance by contacting 988wim's support team directly. Withdrawals are processed to your original JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank account within the standard processing timeframe.

All active bonuses and pending bonus offers are forfeited upon activation of self-exclusion. This is a deliberate policy — bonuses should not be an incentive to return to gambling before you are ready. 988wim will not reinstate forfeited bonuses after an exclusion period ends. You may be eligible for new promotional offers based on the standard terms at the time of reactivation.

Any increase to an existing deposit or loss limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period from the time the increase request is submitted. During this period you can cancel the increase request at any time. After the 24-hour period elapses, the new higher limit will apply automatically. Reductions, on the other hand, take effect immediately and cannot be reversed within that same 24-hour period.

Yes. 988wim accepts third-party responsible gaming requests from concerned family members or close friends. Contact our support team via live chat or email, explain the situation, and provide the account holder's registered email address or username. We will conduct identity verification and, where appropriate, initiate a protective restriction on the account. All such communications are treated with complete confidentiality.
