Player Protection
18+ Only — Adults Strictly

Responsible Gambling

At y99com, responsible gambling is not a policy footnote — it is built into the fabric of how the Platform operates. Whether you are following Pakistan cricket on the PSL, placing a live casino wager or exploring slots, we want every session to remain enjoyable, controlled and within your personal limits. This page explains the tools, principles and support resources available to you.

Six Pillars of Safe Play

y99com combines technology, policy and human support to help every player maintain a healthy relationship with gambling.

Age Verification — 18+ Mandatory

No one under 18 — or the higher minimum age required by the operator's licensing jurisdiction — may register or play. Every account undergoes mandatory KYC verification using CNIC or passport before withdrawals are processed, and we run age checks at registration as standard.

Deposit & Loss Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit ceiling in PKR directly from your Account dashboard. Loss limits cap the total amount you can lose within a chosen period. Once a limit is applied, it takes effect immediately — increases require a mandatory cooling-off period.

Session Time Controls

Long sessions can blur judgement. Our time controls let you set a maximum session duration. Once your limit is reached, the Platform logs you out automatically. You can also request a session reality check — a pop-up reminder of how long you have been playing.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude for a defined period — from 30 days to a permanent closure — through your Account settings or by contacting our support team. During exclusion, access to the Platform is blocked and marketing communications cease.

Take a Break

Not ready for full self-exclusion? A "Take a Break" pause lets you temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days without fully closing it. Your balance and history remain safe while you step back and reassess at your own pace.

24/7 Support in English & Urdu

Our support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling behaviour, reach out — our agents are trained to guide you to the right account tools and, where appropriate, to relevant support organisations.

The 18+ Rule at y99com

18+

Strictly Adults Only — No Exceptions

y99com enforces a minimum age of 18 years. Where the operator's licensing jurisdiction sets a higher minimum age, that higher limit applies. Creating an account as or on behalf of a minor is a serious violation and will result in permanent account termination and forfeiture of any balance held.

Pakistan-Specific Notice: Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act 1977 restricts gambling activities. Users in Pakistan are solely responsible for understanding and complying with their local laws. y99com does not claim authorisation from the Government of Pakistan, PTA, or any provincial authority. This content is informational only and does not constitute legal advice.

To protect minors, y99com requires full KYC verification — including a government-issued CNIC or passport — before any withdrawal can be processed. We also recommend that adults sharing devices use parental control software to prevent access by younger family members. If you believe a minor has accessed the Platform, contact us immediately at [email protected].

Limit & Control Your Play

01
Deposit Limits

Cap how much you can add to your balance in a 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day window. Amounts are set in PKR. Reducing a limit takes immediate effect; increasing it triggers a 72-hour review period to give you time to reconsider.

02
Loss Limits

Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a daily, weekly or monthly cycle. Once the threshold is reached, further wagers are blocked for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially useful during high-stakes fixtures like PSL finals or ICC knockout stages.

03
Wager Limits

Set a cap on the maximum stake per bet across all product types — sports, live casino, slots and more. Wager limits prevent impulsive high-value bets during live events and help you stick to a pre-planned session budget.

04
Session Time Limits

Choose a maximum session length. When the timer expires, the Platform will display a summary of your session activity and prompt you to log out. You can also enable a 30-minute or 60-minute reality-check notification during active play.

05
Self-Exclusion & Account Closure

Request a temporary suspension (30, 60 or 90 days) or a permanent self-exclusion. During any exclusion period, your account is locked, all marketing stops, and you cannot register a new account on the same Platform. To begin, visit Account Settings or contact support.

When Gambling Stops Being Fun

Gambling should be a form of entertainment — not a financial strategy or emotional escape. The following are recognised warning signs that gambling may be causing harm. If several of these apply to you, please use our account tools or seek external support.

Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money already lost, often leading to larger and riskier wagers.

Gambling beyond your means — spending money needed for household expenses, rent, bills or family obligations on gambling.

Preoccupation with gambling — thinking about betting constantly, planning the next session, or feeling unable to enjoy other activities.

Hiding gambling activity — concealing deposits, withdrawals or time spent on the Platform from family members or close friends.

Borrowing to fund gambling — taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from friends or family specifically to place bets.

Unsuccessful attempts to stop — trying to set personal limits or quit gambling but repeatedly returning despite intentions to stop.

Emotional distress linked to outcomes — experiencing significant anxiety, anger or depression following losses, or using gambling to manage negative emotions.

Quick Reflection Questions

Take a moment to honestly reflect on the following questions. If you find yourself answering "Yes" to several of them, it may be time to use one of our responsible gambling tools or speak to a support professional.

Q1

Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally planned for a single session?

Q2

Have you gambled with money intended for other purposes — such as household expenses, utility bills or education?

Q3

Do you feel restless, irritable or anxious when trying to cut down on or stop gambling?

Q4

Have you ever tried to win back money you had lost, only to lose more in the process?

Q5

Has gambling caused conflicts with family members, friends or colleagues in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or elsewhere?

Q6

Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to experience the same level of excitement?

Q7

Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal items to fund your gambling?

This is a self-reflection tool only — it does not constitute a clinical assessment. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, please contact our support team or a qualified counselling service. Answering "Yes" to two or more of the above questions is a signal worth taking seriously.
