At 89f, we want every player in Pakistan to enjoy cricket betting, slots, live casino and bingo as a form of entertainment — nothing more. This page gives you all the tools and information you need to stay in control of your gaming, set healthy boundaries and know when to take a step back.
Your Wellbeing Comes First
89f's responsible gaming tools are built into your account and free to use at any time.
Every registered 89f player has access to these tools from their account settings — no paperwork, no waiting, just straightforward self-management.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately. If you want to increase a limit, a 24-hour cooling-off period applies before the change kicks in. Decreasing a limit works instantly.
Choose how long you want each gaming session to run — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or any custom duration. When the time is up, you will see a clear on-screen notification so you can decide whether to continue or take a break with full awareness.
If you feel your gaming is getting out of hand, you can lock your 89f account for a period you choose — from 7 days all the way to a permanent exclusion. During exclusion, your account is disabled and all marketing communications are stopped.
Not ready for full self-exclusion but need a short break? A cool-off period lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours or up to 7 days. Your balance stays safe and you can return refreshed when the period ends.
Set a maximum amount in PKR that you are comfortable losing over a given period. Once that threshold is reached, your account will automatically pause betting activity for the remainder of that day, week or month — protecting your budget automatically.
Our 24/7 live chat team is trained to assist with responsible gaming concerns. Whether you want to activate a limit, ask about self-exclusion or just talk through a concern about your play, reach out any time. We will listen and help without judgement.
Responsible gaming means treating online betting and casino games as a paid form of entertainment — the same way you would think about watching a cricket match at the stadium or going out for a meal. You decide in advance what you are happy to spend, you enjoy the experience, and then you move on. It is not a strategy to make money, and it is certainly not a way to recover money you have lost before.
At 89f, we fully accept that a small number of people who play on our platform may develop problematic gaming habits. We take that seriously. The tools described on this page, alongside honest information about the risks, are part of our commitment to looking after the players who trust us with their time and their PKR.
Every bet on 89f — whether it is a PSL match, a T20 game, a slot spin or a bingo card — carries a financial risk. The house always has a mathematical edge, which means that over a long enough period, most players will spend more than they win back. That is the honest reality of how gambling works, and any platform that tells you otherwise is not being straight with you.
The risks increase when gaming moves from entertainment to a coping mechanism — when someone starts betting to deal with stress, boredom, financial pressure or emotional difficulties. At that point, the activity can cause real harm to your finances, your relationships and your mental wellbeing. Recognising that shift early makes it much easier to address.
Problem gaming rarely starts with a single obvious moment. It builds gradually, and the person experiencing it is often the last to notice. Below are some honest warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:
If two or more of these feel familiar, it is worth taking the self-assessment below seriously and considering whether to use one of the account management tools available to you.
If you have children or younger family members at home who have access to your phone or computer, it is important to make sure they cannot access your 89f account. Keep your login details private, log out after every session, and enable device-level screen locks. Younger people are more susceptible to developing problematic gaming behaviour, and exposure to adult betting platforms can be harmful even if they are only watching.
If you are managing shared household finances, make sure your gaming budget is truly separate from money earmarked for rent, groceries, school fees or utility bills. A practical way to do this is to keep your JazzCash or Easypaisa gaming wallet distinct from the accounts you use for household expenses — and to set a deposit limit that reflects only your personal entertainment budget, not shared funds.
Before you deposit a single rupee, decide what you can genuinely afford to lose. Not what you hope to win — what you can lose without it affecting your life. Then set that as your deposit limit inside your account settings. Treat it exactly the same as buying a cinema ticket or eating out: the money is spent on the experience, regardless of whether you come out ahead.
A few practical budgeting habits that experienced players in Pakistan use on 89f:
Time passes very quickly on an engaging gaming platform — a live T20 betting session or an absorbing slot game can feel much shorter than it actually is. That is by design, and it is worth being aware of it. Use the session reminder tool in your account settings to get a notification after a set amount of time. When the reminder appears, stand up, stretch, and genuinely assess whether you want to continue or call it a day.
A healthy approach is to decide in advance — before you log in — how long your session will be. Stick to that commitment the same way you would any other scheduled activity. Gaming at 89f should fit around your life, not the other way around.
Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools available for anyone who feels their gaming has become difficult to manage. On 89f, you can activate self-exclusion directly from your account settings or by contacting our live chat support team.
Once self-exclusion is active:
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, consider using one of the account control tools or taking a break.
Have I spent more on betting this month than I originally planned?
Have I bet more after a losing session to try to win the money back?
Have I felt anxious or irritable when I could not access the platform?
Have I borrowed money or used household funds to deposit?
Has gaming affected my sleep, work, studies or family time?
Have I kept the amount I bet a secret from people close to me?
If two or more answers are yes, contact our support team or activate a cool-off period from your account settings right now.
Decide your PKR limit before opening the app — not while you are already playing.
Use the built-in reminder tool so you always know how long you have been playing.
Treat every deposit as spending money for entertainment, not an investment.
If you hit your loss limit, log off. No bet is guaranteed to win your money back.
If gaming is causing stress, speak to a family member, friend or our support team.
Setting deposit, loss or session limits on 89f takes less than two minutes. Here is how to do it right now.
Open the 89f platform on your phone or browser and sign in with your registered credentials.
Tap your profile icon in the top corner and navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" or "Account Limits" section.
Select a deposit limit, loss limit, session time reminder or cool-off period and enter the value that works for your budget.
Confirm your choice. Limits take effect immediately. To increase a limit, a 24-hour cooling-off period applies for your protection.
