988wim Responsible Gaming —
Play Smart, Play Safe
Gaming at 988wim is entertainment — and like all entertainment, it works best when it stays within healthy boundaries. 988wim is committed to providing every Pakistan player with the information, tools, and support needed to keep their gaming experience enjoyable, controlled, and responsible. This page covers everything you need to know about playing safely on the 988wim platform.
Responsible Gaming Tools in Your 988wim Account
Every 988wim account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming tools, built directly into the platform — not hidden in a separate support process. Access them from your account settings at any time, before you place your first bet or at any point during your time on the platform.
PKR Deposit Limits
Set a maximum PKR amount you are permitted to deposit over a chosen period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. Lowering a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Raising a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before it takes effect, giving you time to reconsider.
PKR Loss Limits
Set a maximum net PKR loss threshold per day, week, or month across all 988wim game categories combined. Once your loss limit is reached for the period, all betting and gaming activity is paused until the period resets. Loss limits can be reduced immediately and are applied without delay once the limit is saved in your account settings.
Session Time Reminders
Configure a notification that alerts you after you have been logged in and actively gaming for a defined duration — for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. The reminder appears on screen and includes your current session duration and net win/loss position, giving you a clear moment to pause and decide whether to continue.
Cooling-Off Periods
Request a temporary break from gaming for a defined period without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days are available. During a cooling-off period your account is locked for all gaming activity; marketing communications are also suspended for the duration of the break.
Self-Exclusion
Request a self-exclusion period of 6 months, 12 months, 5 years, or permanent (indefinite) closure. During self-exclusion your account is completely closed — you cannot login, deposit, or play on 988wim. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. All marketing from 988wim is stopped immediately upon self-exclusion activation.
Reality Check Statements
Request a summary of your complete 988wim gaming activity, including total PKR deposited, total PKR wagered, total PKR withdrawn, and net gaming position over any date range up to your full account history. This data is available to all Pakistan players via account settings or by contacting the 988wim support team at any time.
How to access your responsible gaming tools: Log in to your 988wim account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. All six tools listed above are available directly from this section. Alternatively, contact the 988wim English support team via live chat 24/7 — any support agent can activate limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion on your account immediately upon your request.

Recognising Problem Gambling Behaviour
Problem gambling can affect anyone — it is not a sign of weakness or lack of intelligence. It develops gradually and can be difficult to recognise in yourself before it has caused significant harm. The signs below are recognised indicators that gaming may have moved beyond entertainment and into territory that warrants attention.
If you recognise any of these patterns in your own behaviour, or in the behaviour of someone close to you who uses the 988wim platform, the responsible thing to do is to act on it immediately. Use the tools in your 988wim account settings, or contact the support team via English live chat for guidance. Acknowledging the issue early makes a significant difference.
Remember: Gaming should be entertainment — not a source of income, not a way to recover financial losses, and not something that causes stress, conflict, or anxiety. If it has stopped feeling like fun, that is the moment to use the tools available to you.
Chasing Losses
Continuing to deposit and wager PKR after a losing streak in an attempt to recover losses rather than accepting the loss and stopping. This is one of the most common and damaging patterns in problem gambling — the amounts required to "win back" previous losses grow rapidly and the cycle accelerates.
Wagering Beyond Your Means
Depositing PKR amounts that exceed what you can comfortably afford to lose — using money intended for household expenses, rent, utilities, or food — or borrowing money from family members, colleagues, or informal lenders in order to fund gaming activity on 988wim or any other platform.
Loss of Time Awareness During Sessions
Gaming sessions extending significantly beyond your intended duration — losing track of time while playing and only stopping due to an external interruption rather than a deliberate decision to stop. Regularly gaming in the early hours of the morning in Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad after sessions run on from the previous evening.
Social and Family Impact
Gaming activity causing conflict with family members or causing you to reduce time spent with family or friends. Becoming secretive about how much time or PKR you are spending on gaming. Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities because of the time spent on the platform.
Gaming to Escape or Cope
Using gaming on 988wim as a primary mechanism to manage stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult personal circumstances rather than as entertainment. Feeling relief or calm only when actively gaming, and feeling restless, irritable, or distressed when not able to access the platform.
Repeatedly Failing Self-Set Limits
Making commitments to yourself — or to family members — about how much PKR you will spend or how long you will play, and then consistently failing to honour those commitments. Making frequent unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gaming on your own without using available tools.
Ask Yourself These Questions
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to one or more, consider using the responsible gaming tools in your 988wim account or contacting the support team to discuss your options. There is no judgment — these tools exist precisely for moments like this.
Responsible Gaming Self-Check
How to Request Self-Exclusion from 988wim
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available at 988wim. It completely closes your access to the platform for the duration you choose. Here is how to activate it in four steps.
Log In to Your 988wim Account
Access your 988wim account from 988wim.app. Go to Account Settings in the top-right menu. Select the "Responsible Gaming" section from the settings menu.
Select Self-Exclusion
Choose "Self-Exclusion" from the tool options. Select your desired exclusion period: 6 months, 12 months, 5 years, or Permanent (indefinite). Read the confirmation information carefully before proceeding.
Confirm Your Decision
Confirm your self-exclusion request. Your account will be closed immediately. You will receive an English confirmation email to your registered Pakistan email address. All pending 988wim marketing communications will be suspended immediately.
Alternative: Contact Support
If you prefer not to self-exclude through account settings, contact the 988wim English live chat team 24/7 and state that you wish to self-exclude. A support agent will activate the exclusion immediately on your behalf during the conversation.
Important: Self-exclusion at 988wim cannot be reversed during the chosen exclusion period. This is intentional — it ensures the tool works as intended. If you choose a 6-month self-exclusion, your account will remain closed for the full 6 months regardless of any subsequent requests to reopen it earlier. Please choose your exclusion period carefully. When the period ends, you will need to actively contact 988wim support to re-enable your account — it does not reopen automatically.
How 988wim Upholds Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming at 988wim is not a compliance checkbox — it is a set of active, ongoing operational commitments that the 988wim team works to uphold every day for every Pakistan player on the platform. Here is what we do on our end to support safe gaming.
Zero Tolerance for Underage Gaming: Any attempt by an individual under 18 years of age to register or use the 988wim platform will result in immediate account closure and reporting to relevant authorities where required. CNIC or passport age verification is mandatory before any withdrawal is processed. 988wim staff are trained to identify and escalate underage access concerns without exception.
Mandatory Age Verification for All Withdrawals
No player can withdraw PKR from 988wim without completing full KYC identity verification, which includes submission of a valid CNIC or passport. This mandatory check ensures that every account processing real PKR withdrawals has been confirmed as an adult over 18.
Account Activity Monitoring
The 988wim compliance team monitors account activity patterns for indicators associated with problem gambling, including rapid deposit sequences, high-frequency short sessions, sudden significant increases in deposit amounts, and frequent losses followed by immediate re-deposits. Where these patterns are detected, the support team may proactively reach out to the affected Pakistan player.
No Marketing to Self-Excluded Players
When a player activates self-exclusion on 988wim, all promotional communications — bonus offers, deposit match emails, tournament announcements — are stopped immediately and permanently for the duration of the exclusion. 988wim does not send promotional materials to self-excluded accounts under any circumstances.
Responsible Advertising Practices
988wim's promotional communications are targeted only toward adults who have registered accounts and consented to marketing. 988wim does not use advertising practices that could appeal specifically to under-18 audiences, and does not market gaming as a guaranteed source of PKR income or as a solution to financial difficulties.
Support Team Responsible Gaming Training
All 988wim English support agents receive responsible gaming training covering: recognition of problem gambling indicators in support conversations; how to activate all responsible gaming tools on a player's behalf; how to handle sensitive conversations about gaming harm with empathy and professionalism; and how to escalate concerns internally where required.

Guidance for Pakistan Players and Their Families
Gaming harm can affect not just the individual player but also family members in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and other cities across Pakistan. The following guidance is relevant whether you are concerned about your own gaming behaviour or about a family member's.
- If you are a player who feels gaming has become harmful, activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion immediately from your 988wim account settings. You do not need to wait until your situation worsens.
- If you are a family member concerned about a relative's gaming at 988wim, contact the 988wim support team directly via live chat. While account privacy rules limit what can be discussed about a specific account, the support team can provide guidance on next steps.
- Set up parental controls and device restrictions on shared family devices in your Pakistan household to prevent access to gaming platforms by minors.
- Maintain open, non-judgmental conversations with family members about gaming expenditure. Financial transparency within households reduces the risk of gaming-related debt going unaddressed.
- If financial harm from gambling has already occurred, prioritise addressing the financial situation directly — seek advice from trusted family members or financial advisors. Gaming debt accumulated on 988wim will not be waived, but the support team can assist with account closure and balance withdrawal processing.
A note from 988wim: We genuinely believe that a player who games within their means and uses the tools available to them will have a better long-term experience on 988wim than one who does not. Our business works best when our Pakistan players are playing for entertainment — not because they feel compelled to. If your gaming has stopped feeling like entertainment, please use the tools we have built for exactly this moment.
