At 88bef, we believe that betting should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress. This page outlines the tools, resources and commitments we have in place to keep every player safe.
These tools are built directly into your 88bef account — free to use, always available.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 88bef account. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period — so your budget stays under your control at all times.
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period — daily, weekly or monthly. When your loss limit is reached, betting activity is automatically suspended until the limit period resets or a new limit is confirmed.
Lose track of time during a live PSL T20 match or a casino session? Set session time reminders and the platform will notify you when you have been active for your chosen duration — a simple but effective way to stay aware.
If you feel you need a short break — whether for a day, a week or a month — a cool-off period temporarily restricts access to betting and gaming features. Your account remains open and your balance is safe, but you cannot place wagers during the period.
For a more serious break, self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum period of six months. During self-exclusion, your account is fully locked, marketing communications cease and re-registration is blocked. This is the strongest protection tool available.
Access a full record of your betting history, deposit totals and net win/loss figures directly from your account dashboard. Transparent visibility into your own activity is one of the most practical responsible gambling tools available.
Responsible gambling is a shared commitment between the platform and the player. On 88bef's side, that means giving you real tools to manage your activity, training our support team to recognise signs of distress, and making it easy — never difficult — to take a break or close your account. On your side, it means staying honest with yourself about why you're playing and how you feel about it.
Whether you're following Pakistan cricket, tracking a PSL T20 tournament, enjoying a live casino session or spinning the slots, gambling should feel like leisure. The moment it stops feeling that way — when the thrill becomes anxiety, or chasing losses becomes the main motivation — that is the signal to step back and use the tools available to you.
88bef operates under the principle that every player deserves a safe environment. Our responsible gambling framework is not a legal checkbox — it is an active, ongoing commitment that runs through account design, customer support protocols and our internal review process.
The 88bef platform is strictly for adults. You must be at least 18 years of age — or the higher minimum age required by the operator's license jurisdiction — to register an account, deposit funds or place any wager. This is non-negotiable.
During registration, you are required to confirm your age. Before any withdrawal is processed, our KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process requires you to submit valid identity documentation that confirms your date of birth. Accounts found to belong to underage users are closed immediately, and any deposited funds are returned via the original payment method after verification.
If you are a parent or guardian in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or anywhere else in Pakistan — or anywhere our platform is accessible — we strongly encourage the use of parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gambling content. Several reputable internet filtering tools are available for this purpose.
Local Legal Context: Pakistani users should be aware that the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 governs gambling activity in Pakistan. 88bef does not claim to be licensed, approved or regulated by the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan or any Pakistani financial institution. Players are solely responsible for ensuring their participation complies with applicable local law.
All limits can be set from your account dashboard under the Responsible Gambling section.

Self-exclusion is the most serious responsible gambling tool available on the platform. It is designed for players who feel they have lost control of their gambling or who want a guaranteed, enforced break for an extended period. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the selected exclusion period has fully elapsed.
Reach our support team via live chat (available 24/7 as per operator information) or by emailing [email protected]. Clearly state that you want to activate self-exclusion and specify your preferred exclusion period.
Options include 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent exclusion. Our support team will not attempt to dissuade you from choosing any period — this is your decision and we will respect it fully.
Your account is locked as soon as the request is confirmed. All marketing communications — emails, push notifications, promotional offers — are halted. Your remaining withdrawable balance can be requested following identity verification.
During your self-exclusion period, any attempt to register a new account using the same personal details will be flagged and declined. Please do not attempt to circumvent this protection — it exists for your benefit.
When your exclusion period ends, reinstatement of your account is not automatic. You must contact support to request reactivation, and a further cooling-off period will apply before betting access is restored.
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of city, income, or how casually they started. The signs are not always obvious from the inside. If you answer "yes" to several of the questions below, we strongly encourage you to use your account tools or contact our support team.
You do not have to face gambling-related difficulties alone. Help is available.
Internationally, a number of organisations provide free, confidential support to individuals experiencing gambling-related harm. While 88bef is an online platform accessible across multiple regions, we encourage any player who feels their gambling has become problematic to seek professional guidance from a recognised support organisation operating in the jurisdiction of the operator's licence. Details of relevant organisations are provided by the operator on request via the support team.
For players in Pakistan, mental health and addiction support services exist in major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. General practitioner referrals, government hospital psychiatric departments and private counselling services may all offer relevant help. We encourage players to seek out these services — 88bef's support team can point you in the right direction, though we are not a medical provider.
Our support team is available 24/7 via the live chat feature on the Platform. For responsible gambling concerns, our agents are trained to assist with limit setting, cool-off activation and self-exclusion requests — quickly and without judgment. Available in English and Urdu.
For non-urgent responsible gambling queries, requests for account activity reports, or formal self-exclusion requests, contact our team at [email protected]. We respond within 24 hours on business days. Email is plain text only — not a clickable link on this page.
88bef takes its responsible gambling obligations seriously. Our internal responsible gambling framework includes the following ongoing commitments:
Responsible gambling is not a secondary concern at 88bef — it is fundamental to how we operate. A player who feels safe and in control is far more valuable to us than a player who is chasing losses or gambling beyond their means. We want every session — whether it is a live cricket bet during an ICC tournament or a late-night slot spin — to be something you genuinely enjoy and feel good about afterward.
Explore everything 88bef has to offer — from Pakistan cricket and PSL betting to live casino — with full confidence that your player protection tools are always one tap away.
For entertainment purposes only. 18+ Local laws may restrict gambling. Pakistan — Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 applies.
