99abba's Commitment to Safe, Balanced Play Across Pakistan

At 99abba, we believe that gaming should be a source of entertainment — never a cause of financial stress or personal hardship. Whether you are betting on PSL from Karachi or spinning slots from Lahore, our responsible gaming framework puts your wellbeing first.

Our Philosophy

Gaming Should Always Be a Choice, Not a Compulsion

99abba operates on a simple principle: responsible gaming is not a compliance checkbox — it is a genuine commitment to the people who use our platform. Since we began serving players across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Faisalabad, we have believed that an informed and self-aware player is a happy player. That is why we invest in tools and education that help players stay in control.

Problem gambling affects a small but significant portion of the population in every market. Research consistently shows that early intervention — through limits, cooling-off periods, and honest self-reflection — can make a meaningful difference. 99abba's responsible gaming programme is designed to give every player the knowledge and the mechanisms to keep their gaming experience positive.

Our platform operates under an international gaming licence that mandates responsible gaming standards. We take those standards seriously and in many cases exceed them. From deposit limits to permanent self-exclusion, every tool described on this page is available to all 99abba players free of charge and without judgment.

Gambling is not a way to make money. The house always has a mathematical edge. If you find yourself gambling to recover past losses, to pay bills, or to relieve stress, please use the self-exclusion or support tools described on this page. Our 24/7 support team is always available.
Honesty helps. 99abba's responsible gaming tools only work if you are honest with yourself. The self-assessment questions further down this page are a private, confidential way to gauge whether your gambling habits are staying healthy. No data from the self-assessment is shared with any third party.
Step 1 — Set Your Limits

Before you start playing, set deposit, loss, and session time limits from your 99abba account dashboard. These limits take effect immediately.

Step 2 — Monitor Your Play

Use the activity history section in your account to review how much time and money you are spending. Reality check notifications alert you at intervals you choose.

Step 3 — Take a Break if Needed

If you feel your gaming is getting out of hand, use the cool-off or self-exclusion tools instantly. No waiting period, no questions asked.

Step 4 — Talk to Someone

Our support team is available 24/7. If you want to speak privately about your gaming behaviour, we are here to listen and connect you with appropriate resources.

Player Safety Tools

Six Tools That Keep You in Control

Every one of these tools is built into your 99abba account. They are free, immediate, and designed to put the power firmly in your hands.

💰
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit into your 99abba account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time with immediate effect; increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

📉
Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, you can define a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. When your net losses reach the limit you have set, 99abba will automatically suspend further gameplay for that period. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing large, unplanned losses in a single session.

⏱️
Session Time Limits

It is easy to lose track of time when you are engaged in a PSL cricket match or a live dealer game. Session time limits let you set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When the timer expires, 99abba will notify you and offer the option to end the session or continue — giving you a moment of conscious choice rather than passive drift.

🔔
Reality Check Notifications

Reality checks are pop-up notifications that appear at regular intervals during gameplay — for example, every 30 or 60 minutes — to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent or won during that session. They are a low-friction way of staying aware without interrupting gameplay unless you want to stop.

❄️
Cool-Off Periods

If you feel you need a short break from gaming without committing to full exclusion, a cool-off period lets you pause your 99abba account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your account is inaccessible for gameplay and deposits. The cool-off activates instantly and cannot be reversed once applied.

🔒
Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a serious commitment to stop gambling for an extended period. At 99abba, you can self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is closed immediately, your details are flagged to prevent re-registration, and all marketing communications cease. This cannot be undone during the exclusion period.

21+

Strict 21+ Age Policy — No Exceptions

Every new 99abba account must pass a CNIC-based age verification check before withdrawals are enabled. Players found to have misrepresented their age will have their accounts permanently closed and any deposited funds returned to the payment source. Protecting minors from gambling is a non-negotiable standard at 99abba, and one we uphold rigorously across all Pakistani cities we serve.

Self-Assessment

Is Your Gaming Still Fun?

Answer these questions honestly to get a sense of whether your gaming habits are healthy. This is a private exercise — results are not tracked or stored by 99abba.

01 Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned, or find it hard to stop once you have started?
02 Have you ever borrowed money, sold possessions, or used bill money to fund your gambling?
03 Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are away from it, or planning your next session during work or family time?
04 Have family members, friends, or colleagues expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
05 Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult situations at home or at work?
06 Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling and found that you could not, or that you felt restless and irritable when you tried?
07 Do you chase losses — meaning you keep playing after losing in an attempt to win back what you have lost?
08 Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or studies?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, your gaming may be moving beyond entertainment and into harmful territory. We strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion tool in your 99abba account settings, take a cool-off period, or contact our 24/7 support team to discuss your options. Help is available, and reaching out is a sign of strength — not weakness.
Self-Exclusion Guide

How to Exclude Yourself from 99abba

Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming tool available on the 99abba platform. When you self-exclude, your account is closed immediately, all pending bonuses are forfeited, and your details are added to our internal exclusion register to prevent re-registration during the exclusion period.

Funds in your account at the time of exclusion are returned to your verified payment method — JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or your designated bank account — within the standard withdrawal processing time. You will not receive any promotional communications from 99abba during the exclusion period.

If you attempt to create a new account during an active self-exclusion, 99abba will identify and close the new account upon verification. Players are encouraged to also explore national-level support resources for problem gambling available through international gaming licence responsible gaming frameworks.

Step 1 — Log In

Access your 99abba account from the login page. Navigate to Account Settings and then to the Responsible Gaming section.

Step 2 — Select Exclusion Type

Choose between a cool-off period (24 hours to 30 days) or full self-exclusion (6 months to permanent). Both are available immediately.

Step 3 — Set Duration

Select your preferred exclusion duration. For permanent exclusion, a confirmation step is required to ensure the decision is deliberate.

Step 4 — Confirm & Done

Confirm your selection. Your account closes instantly. A confirmation is sent to your registered email and Pakistani mobile number.

If you are unable to access your account to apply self-exclusion, contact the 99abba support team via live chat — available 24/7 — and our agents will apply the exclusion on your behalf within minutes, no questions asked. You may also email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request."
Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQ

No. Self-exclusion is a firm commitment and cannot be reversed during the chosen exclusion period. This is intentional — the purpose of self-exclusion is to remove the ability to gamble impulsively. After the exclusion period expires, you may request reactivation through our support team, but a mandatory 7-day reflection period applies before any account is reopened.

Any real money balance in your 99abba account at the time of self-exclusion is returned to your verified payment method — JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, or whichever method you used to deposit. Withdrawals are processed within the standard timeframe. Bonus balances and winnings derived solely from bonus play are forfeited upon self-exclusion, per our Terms and Conditions.

During the registration process, players are required to provide their CNIC number and date of birth. Before any withdrawal is processed, the account undergoes a full KYC (Know Your Customer) check that includes CNIC document verification. If a player is found to be under 21, the account is permanently closed and any deposited funds are returned to the payment source. 99abba applies zero tolerance to underage gambling.

Currently, deposit and loss limits at 99abba apply at the account level across all games — cricket betting, slots, live casino, and other products. We are working on product-specific limit tools as part of our ongoing responsible gaming roadmap. In the meantime, account-level limits are the most effective way to manage your overall spend on the 99abba platform.

Yes. 99abba's responsible gaming monitoring systems analyse gameplay patterns for indicators of problem gambling — such as rapidly increasing bet sizes, unusually long sessions, repeated deposit-and-lose cycles, or unusual hours of play. If our system or a member of our team identifies concerning patterns, a responsible gaming officer may proactively reach out to the player, apply temporary precautionary limits, or request that the player complete a wellbeing check before continued play. This is always done with sensitivity and respect.

Yes. Any self-assessment you complete on this page is entirely private — it does not submit data to 99abba's servers. Any conversations you have with our responsible gaming support team are handled with strict confidentiality. Information about your responsible gaming tools usage is held in your account and is not shared with third parties except as required by our gaming licence regulatory obligations such as mandatory AML and suspicious activity reporting.
