18+ Strictly enforced on the 99y Platform

99y Responsible Gaming

At 99y, we believe cricket betting and online casino games should be fun, not a source of stress or financial harm. This page outlines our commitment to responsible gaming and the tools every 99y player has access to – free of charge, always.

Our Responsible Gaming Tools

Every 99y account comes with these controls built in. No request needed – just visit Account Settings.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly PKR caps on how much you can deposit into your 99y account.

Session Reminders

Configure time alerts that notify you when you've been playing for 30, 60, or 90 minutes.

Cooling-Off

Take a temporary break of 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month. Your account resumes automatically after the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently exclude yourself for a minimum of 6 months. Requests are processed within 24 hours.

Loss Limits

Cap how much you're comfortable losing in any 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day window before auto-lock kicks in.

Reality Checks

Periodic pop-up summaries showing your session time, total bets placed, and net result so you always stay informed.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Gambling at 99y – whether that's following PSL odds, spinning slots, or playing live dealer games – is meant to be a leisure activity, the same way someone in Lahore might go watch a T20 match at the stadium or a family in Karachi might spend an evening playing carrom. The moment it starts feeling like an obligation, a way to recover money you've lost, or something you do to escape problems, it's moved into territory that needs attention.

Problem gambling doesn't always look dramatic. It often creeps in gradually – a slightly larger bet after a loss to try to win it back, spending a little more time on the app than you planned, or finding yourself thinking about your next bet while at work or during a family dinner in Islamabad. These are early warning signs worth taking seriously.

99y makes all responsible gaming tools available at zero cost to every registered player. We would rather lose a depositing player to a self-exclusion than have that player develop a gambling problem. That is not just a statement – it is reflected in how we build and operate the 99y platform.

Warning Signs to Watch For
  • Betting more than you can comfortably afford to lose
  • Chasing losses by placing increasingly large bets
  • Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble
  • Missing work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
  • Using money set aside for bills, rent, or groceries to gamble
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund bets

Are You Gambling Safely?

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we strongly recommend using 99y's self-exclusion tool or speaking with a support professional.

Q1 Do you gamble with money you cannot afford to lose?

Q2 Have you ever tried to win back money you've lost by gambling more?

Q3 Has gambling ever caused arguments or stress at home?

Q4 Do you find it hard to stop once you have started betting?

Q5 Do you spend time thinking about gambling when doing something else?

Q6 Have you hidden your gambling activity from family or friends?

Q7 Has gambling ever affected your performance at work or studies?
If you answered yes to any of these

How Each Tool Works

Practical details on 99y's responsible gaming controls so you know exactly what to expect.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum PKR deposit amount for any 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day period. Reductions take effect immediately. Increases require a 24-hour cooling-off delay before activation – this protects you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of a match.

Session Reminders

When your chosen session duration is reached, a reminder screen appears showing your session duration, total bets, and net balance change. You choose whether to continue or stop – 99y doesn't force you off, but we make sure you're making an informed choice.

Cooling-Off Period

A short-term break from the 99y platform – 24 hours, 72 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During this period your account is suspended and you cannot deposit, bet, or access the casino. Your balance is preserved and the account resumes automatically at the end of the period.

Self-Exclusion

The most serious tool available. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours. The minimum exclusion period is 6 months, with options for 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. During exclusion, 99y will not send you promotional communications. Reactivation requires contacting support after the exclusion period has expired and is subject to a review process.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum PKR amount you're comfortable losing in any rolling 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day window. Once the threshold is reached, further bets are blocked until the period resets. Like deposit limits, reductions apply immediately while increases require a 24-hour delay.

Reality Checks

Automated pop-ups delivered at regular intervals (configurable from 15 minutes to 2 hours) showing your cumulative session time, number of bets placed, total wagered in PKR, and net result. Designed to interrupt any autopilot patterns and restore conscious decision-making.

18+ Age Restriction Policy

99y operates a strict 18+ age policy without exception. Gambling is an adult activity and permitting minors to access betting or casino services is something 99y takes extremely seriously as both a legal and moral obligation.

During registration, you are required to confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. Before any withdrawal is processed, you must submit a valid CNIC for identity and age verification. 99y reserves the right to suspend any account and request proof of age at any point during the account lifecycle.

If 99y identifies or receives a credible report that a minor has accessed the Platform, the account will be immediately suspended, all funds (net of any promotional credits) will be held pending verification, and the matter will be escalated according to applicable compliance procedures. We urge parents and guardians in households across Pakistan to use device-level parental controls to prevent underage access to online gambling platforms.

Parental Controls: If you share a device with young family members, configure your device's screen time or parental control settings. Contact 99y support via live chat if you need guidance on account-level protections.
18+

Minimum age to register and use any 99y service. No exceptions.


CNIC verification required
Age check on withdrawal

Keeping Gambling Fun

The golden rule of responsible gambling is simple: only bet money you can genuinely afford to lose without it affecting your daily life, your family's needs, or your financial commitments. A PSL match bet should feel like the Rs 200 you might spend on snacks at the stadium – enjoyable while it lasts, not something that keeps you up at night if it doesn't go your way.

Here are some practical habits that responsible 99y players follow:

  • Set a budget before you start. Decide on a fixed PKR amount you're comfortable spending before you open the 99y app. Stop when that amount is gone, whether or not the session went well.
  • Time your sessions. Use 99y's session reminder feature to keep track of how long you've been playing. It's easy to lose track of time when a T20 match is going down to the wire.
  • Never chase losses. If you've reached your session budget and you're down, that's a losing session. Log out. Placing bigger bets to recover losses is how manageable gambling becomes a problem.
  • Don't gamble when emotional. Avoid betting when you're stressed, angry, tired, or upset. Emotional betting leads to poor decisions and larger bets than you'd normally make.
  • Balance gambling with other activities. Cricket betting and casino games are entertainment – one of many. Make sure they sit alongside, not in place of, time with family, friends, and other hobbies.
  • Know when to take a break. If gambling ever stops being enjoyable, use 99y's cooling-off tool. Even a 24-hour break can reset your perspective.
