At y988, we believe gaming should be fun, controlled, and within your means. Whether you are betting on PSL matches from Lahore, playing slots from Karachi, or enjoying live casino from Islamabad — your wellbeing always comes first. This page outlines the tools, resources, and policies y988 has in place to keep your gaming experience safe and responsible at every step.
y988's responsible gaming framework is built on six core pillars that protect players across Pakistan — from Peshawar to Faisalabad — at every stage of their gaming journey.
y988 enforces strict 21+ age verification at registration using CNIC and identity documents. No player under 21 may access real-money gaming features under any circumstance. This is a non-negotiable part of the y988 platform.
Players on y988 can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from their account dashboard. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Lowering your limit applies at once; increases have a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period.
y988 can send you on-screen session reminders at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. These reality check alerts show how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered, helping you make informed decisions about your session.
If you feel your gaming is getting out of control, y988 offers voluntary self-exclusion for periods of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent closure. During self-exclusion, your account is locked and all marketing communications are suspended immediately.
Need a short break without full self-exclusion? y988 lets you activate a cooling-off period from 24 hours up to 30 days. During this time your account is inaccessible for gameplay, giving you the space to reflect and reset without permanently closing your account.
In addition to deposit limits, y988 allows players to set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly loss threshold. Once your net loss in that period reaches your set limit, y988 will automatically prevent further wagering activity until the period resets.
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. In Pakistan, the social stigma around gambling problems can make it harder for people to seek help. y988 is committed to making that conversation easier. Below are common warning signs that your gambling may have become a problem. If you recognise three or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use y988's responsible gaming tools or reach out to our support team.
Remember: Recognising a problem is the first and most important step. y988's support team will treat all responsible gaming requests with complete confidentiality and without judgement.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose
Borrowing money from family, friends, or taking loans specifically to fund gambling
Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money already lost
Lying to family members in Lahore, Karachi, or elsewhere about how much time or money is spent on gaming
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to cut down or stop gambling
Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to time spent gambling online
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, anxiety, or personal problems
Feeling a compulsive need to increase bet sizes over time to get the same level of excitement
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available on the y988 platform. The process is straightforward and takes effect immediately once confirmed. You do not need to provide a reason, and the decision will be respected without question.
Access your account via y988.pro using your registered credentials. Ensure you are on a secure, private connection before proceeding.
Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu to access your personal preferences panel.
Inside Account Settings, locate the "Responsible Gaming" section. This is where all limit controls, reality checks, and exclusion options are managed.
Select from 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent self-exclusion. Permanent closure cannot be reversed — choose carefully.
y988 will ask you to confirm your decision via a verification code sent to your registered Pakistani mobile number. Once confirmed, exclusion takes effect immediately.
If you are unable to access your account settings, contact y988 support via live chat or email at [email protected] and a team member will process your self-exclusion request on your behalf within one hour.
Beyond self-exclusion, y988 provides a full suite of limit and control tools that allow you to manage your gaming activity proactively. All tools are available directly from your account dashboard with no waiting period to set or lower limits.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit into your y988 account.
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period before gameplay is paused.
Cap the total amount you can stake across all games on y988 per day, week, or month.
Automatically log out of your y988 session after a defined number of minutes or hours.
Receive on-screen alerts at 30, 60, or 90-minute intervals reminding you of session duration and spend.
Take a short break from y988 for 24 hours up to 30 days without permanently closing your account.
y988 takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. The following measures are in place across the platform to prevent underage access.
Age Requirement: y988 is strictly for players aged 21 years and above. Attempting to register under a false age is a violation of y988's Terms & Conditions and may be referred to relevant authorities.
Every new y988 registration requires date-of-birth entry. Accounts cannot progress past the initial stage without confirming the player is 21 or older.
KYC document checks cross-reference the player's date of birth against their Pakistani CNIC or passport to confirm the 21+ requirement is met before withdrawals are processed.
Parents and guardians are advised to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing y988.pro. Tools such as device-level content filters can restrict access to online gaming sites.
Keep your y988 login credentials private. Never share your password or PIN with family members, including children. Use 2FA to add an extra layer of security to your account and prevent unauthorised access.
Gaming is entertainment — not a way to make money. Set your limits, play within your means, and enjoy the y988 experience the right way. Our responsible gaming tools are always just one click away inside your account dashboard.
