par99 is built around the belief that gambling is entertainment — and entertainment should never cost you more than you can afford to lose. Whether you're betting on PSL in Lahore or spinning slots from Karachi, par99 gives you the tools, information, and support to keep your gaming experience healthy, controlled, and genuinely enjoyable.
This page outlines the responsible gaming tools available to every par99 player, the warning signs to watch for, and how to reach our support team if you feel things are getting out of hand. Please read it carefully — it could make a real difference.
If you feel your gambling is out of control, contact par99 support immediately. Our responsible gaming team is available 24/7.
par99 holds an international gaming licence, and responsible gaming is a core condition of that licence — not a box-ticking exercise. We are obligated to provide player protection tools, enforce minimum age verification, and maintain responsible gaming standards across every product on the platform.
For Pakistani players from Islamabad to Faisalabad, par99 understands that gambling sits within a broader cultural and social context. We take that seriously. Our responsible gaming programme is designed with real people in mind — not to restrict your enjoyment, but to ensure you stay in control of it.
Every par99 account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls accessible directly from your account settings. These tools are free, immediate, and — in the case of self-exclusion — permanently enforceable at your request. No par99 staff member will attempt to talk you out of using them.
par99 also trains its customer support team to recognise signs of problem gambling in player behaviour and communications, and to respond with empathy and practical guidance rather than sales pressure. If our team identifies a concern, we may proactively reach out — this is part of our duty of care, not an intrusion.
Gambling is not a way to make money. Every game on par99 — from cricket betting to live roulette to slots — has a built-in house edge. Over time, the house always wins. Treat every rupee you deposit as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
21+ Strictly Enforced. par99 uses third-party identity and age verification on every new account. Players who cannot verify they are 21 or over will not be permitted to deposit, wager, or withdraw. This is non-negotiable under our international gaming licence.
Self-exclusion is permanent when you choose it. par99 will never attempt to reactivate a self-excluded account at the request of the player during the exclusion period. Your safety outweighs our revenue.
Six player-controlled safeguards built directly into every par99 account
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in PKR directly from your account settings. Once a limit is active, par99 will decline any deposit attempt that exceeds it — no exceptions. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before it applies.
Cap the total amount you are permitted to lose in a defined time window. par99's loss limit applies across all products — slots, live casino, and sports betting combined. When your net losses for the period reach your set threshold, par99 will prevent further wagers until the period resets or you adjust the limit downward.
Set a maximum session length — from 30 minutes to several hours — after which par99 will automatically log you out. A warning notification will appear 10 minutes before your session limit is reached, giving you time to finish ongoing bets. Time limits reset each calendar day, not on a rolling 24-hour basis.
Enable pop-up reminders at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — that display your current session duration and net wins or losses. These prompts are designed to interrupt the flow of play and give you a clear, factual moment to decide whether to continue. Many players in Karachi and Lahore find these the single most useful responsible gaming tool available.
Take a break from par99 for a defined short period — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — without permanently closing your account. During a cool-off period your account is suspended, all promotional communications are paused, and you cannot log in or deposit. Your balance is preserved and accessible once the cool-off expires.
Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available. You can exclude yourself from par99 for a minimum period of 6 months, up to 5 years, or permanently. Once activated, par99 will close your account, return your balance, and suppress all marketing. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires — this is by design, to protect you from impulsive reversal decisions.
The table below summarises how each limit type functions on par99, how quickly changes take effect, and what happens when a limit is reached. Understanding the mechanics helps you choose the right tool for your situation.
| Limit Type | Decrease | Increase | When Hit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit — Daily | Instant | 24h delay | Deposits blocked for remainder of day |
| Deposit — Weekly | Instant | 7-day delay | Deposits blocked for remainder of week |
| Deposit — Monthly | Instant | 30-day delay | Deposits blocked for remainder of month |
| Loss Limit | Instant | 24h delay | Wagering suspended until period resets |
| Session Time | Instant | Instant | Auto logout at session end |
| Cool-Off | N/A | N/A | Account suspended for chosen period |
| Self-Exclusion | N/A | N/A | Account closed — irreversible until term ends |
All responsible gaming tools on par99 are self-service. You do not need to call or email to set a deposit limit or take a break — it takes under two minutes from your account settings. Here is the process:
Access your account via par99.net using your registered credentials. Two-factor authentication is recommended for account security.
Click your username in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown. Alternatively, go to "My Account" in the main menu.
The Responsible Gaming tab lists all available tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, reality checks, cool-off, and self-exclusion — in one place.
Enter your desired limit value or exclusion period. par99 will send an email confirmation. Decreases and exclusions are effective immediately upon confirmation.
If you are unable to access your account settings or want support setting up these tools, our 24/7 live chat team can activate any responsible gaming measure on your behalf — no questions asked, no pressure to reconsider.
Problem gambling can develop gradually, and it is often the people closest to you who notice the signs before you do. The following behaviours are commonly associated with gambling that has moved beyond healthy entertainment. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use par99's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team.
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost — increasing bets to "get even" faster — is one of the most recognised warning signs. It rarely works and almost always makes losses worse.
Regularly sitting down for a short session and ending up playing for hours without meaning to is a sign that you may be losing voluntary control over your gambling behaviour.
Using funds earmarked for rent, groceries, school fees, or family expenses to fund gambling is a serious warning sign. Responsible gaming means only ever betting money that is genuinely disposable.
If you find yourself being secretive about how much time or money you spend gambling, or lying to family members about it, this is a significant indicator that something is wrong.
Using gambling as a way to cope with anxiety, depression, loneliness, or boredom is a warning sign that the behaviour has moved from entertainment to self-medication.
When gambling starts to take priority over professional responsibilities, family time, or personal relationships, it has moved beyond recreational territory and into problem gambling.
Answer the following questions honestly. If you find yourself answering "yes" to three or more, we strongly encourage you to reach out to par99 support or to consider using the self-exclusion tool.
Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses like bills, rent, or food?
Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to get the same level of excitement from gambling?
Have you ever tried to cut back or stop gambling and found it difficult or impossible to do so?
Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you tried to reduce or stop gambling?
Have you ever gambled as a way of escaping problems, relieving feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression?
After losing money gambling, have you ever returned the next day to try and win it back?
Have you ever lied to family members, friends, or colleagues to hide the extent of your gambling?
Has gambling ever caused serious problems in your relationships, your job, or your financial situation?
If several of these resonate with you, please do not ignore it. Contact par99 support via live chat or email [email protected] — our responsible gaming team will respond with empathy and practical next steps, not judgement.
par99 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 for all account registrations, deposits, and wagering activities. This is a hard requirement of par99's international gaming licence and is applied without exception. par99 uses third-party identity and age verification services — supplying false documents or misrepresenting your age is a breach of par99's Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account closure and forfeiture of any balance.
If you are a parent or guardian in Pakistan and you are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing online gambling platforms, we recommend the following steps:
These are the core principles that guide how par99 operates its responsible gaming programme — not as a compliance checklist, but as a genuine commitment to the wellbeing of Pakistani players and their families.
Gambling is entertainment, not income. par99 will never market gambling as a financial strategy or suggest it is a reliable way to earn money.
Player control is paramount. Every responsible gaming tool is self-service, immediate for restrictions, and will never be undermined by our commercial interests.
No pressure to reverse safety decisions. par99 staff will never encourage a player who has set a limit or taken a cool-off to change their mind. These decisions are respected unconditionally.
Proactive monitoring. par99 analyses account behaviour for patterns associated with problem gambling and may reach out proactively where we identify a concern — even when the player has not raised one.
Exclusions are honoured permanently. Self-excluded players will not receive marketing communications, re-engagement offers, or bonus emails during their exclusion period, regardless of its length.
Transparent odds and RTP. par99 provides return-to-player (RTP) information for all slot games and does not misrepresent odds in any marketing materials targeting Pakistani players.
Cricket betting, live casino, and hundreds of slots — all available on par99 with full responsible gaming controls in your hands. Set your limits, play your way, and know that our support team is always one message away. 21+ only. Play responsibly.
