Six Pillars of Safer Play on y999g

Every registered player on y999g has access to these protections. They are free to use, available directly through your account settings, and can be activated at any time.

Strict 18+ Age Policy

y999g operates a strict adults-only policy. All accounts go through an age verification process during KYC. Any account confirmed to belong to a person under 18 is closed immediately, with funds handled according to our Terms & Conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. No exceptions.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly PKR deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately — you cannot deposit beyond it until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect at once; increasing it is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period before it applies.

Loss Limits

Cap the net amount you can lose over any defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. Loss limits provide a hard ceiling on downside exposure, making it easier to keep gambling within a budget you have consciously set. This is especially useful during high-volume periods such as PSL fixtures or ICC knockout matches.

Session Time Reminders

Set a session duration reminder so that y999g alerts you when you have been playing for a specified number of minutes or hours. Losing track of time is one of the most common contributors to problem gambling — a simple on-screen prompt can make a meaningful difference to how you manage your play sessions.

Cool-Off Periods

Take a short-term break of 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days or 30 days. During a cool-off period, your account is temporarily suspended from all wagering activity. You will not receive any promotional communications during this time. Cool-off periods cannot be cancelled early — this is intentional and for your protection.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer or indefinite break, self-exclusion removes access to your account for a minimum of six months or longer. Self-exclusion is a serious tool and cannot be reversed until the agreed period has elapsed, with an additional mandatory reflection period. Contact support to activate self-exclusion immediately.

Your Responsible Gambling Tools, Step by Step

Activating any of these tools takes under two minutes from your y999g account dashboard. Here is a closer look at how each one works in practice.

01
Setting a Deposit Limit

Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Deposit Limits. Choose a daily, weekly or monthly cap in PKR. The limit applies instantly. To lower it, the change is immediate. To raise it, a cooling-off window applies — typically 24 to 72 hours — so you have time to reflect before more funds can be added.

Account Settings
02
Activating a Loss Limit

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Loss Limits. Enter the maximum net loss amount in PKR you are comfortable with over your chosen period. Once your loss limit is reached, wagering is paused for the remainder of that period. The limit resets automatically when the period expires.

Instant Activation
03
Taking a Cool-Off Break

Visit Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Cool-Off. Select your preferred break length: 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days or 30 days. Your account is suspended from wagering immediately. Marketing emails are paused. The break cannot be shortened once activated — you must wait out the full period before access is restored.

Cannot Be Cancelled Early
04
Requesting Self-Exclusion

Contact the y999g support team directly via Live Chat or the Help Centre and request self-exclusion. Specify the duration — minimum six months — or request indefinite exclusion. Your account will be closed to wagering promptly. After the exclusion period, a mandatory reflection window applies before reinstatement can be considered.

Minimum 6 Months

Self-Exclusion: A Serious Tool for Serious Situations

If you feel that gambling is no longer under your control — or that it is negatively affecting your finances, relationships, work or mental health — self-exclusion is available immediately and at no cost. This is not a minor inconvenience feature; it is a meaningful intervention tool.

When you request self-exclusion on y999g:

  • Your account is locked from all wagering activity immediately upon confirmation
  • Any pending withdrawal requests are processed normally
  • All marketing and promotional communications are stopped for the exclusion period
  • The exclusion period cannot be reversed or shortened — this protects you during moments of impulse
  • A mandatory reflection period applies after the exclusion ends before reinstatement
  • You may request indefinite self-exclusion with no set end date

To activate self-exclusion, contact our support team via Live Chat or the Help Centre. Our support staff are trained to handle these requests with sensitivity and without judgment. Support is available in both English and Urdu.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Responsible gambling starts with self-awareness. If any of the following patterns feel familiar, it may be time to use one of the tools above or seek external support.

Chasing Losses

Placing larger bets to try to recover money you have already lost — a pattern that typically accelerates losses rather than reversing them.

Losing Track of Time

Spending significantly more time gambling than intended, or finding that sessions routinely extend well beyond what you planned.

Gambling with Bill Money

Using funds earmarked for essential expenses — rent, utilities, food — to fund gambling deposits, even temporarily.

Hiding Gambling Activity

Concealing the extent of your gambling from family, friends or colleagues, or feeling the need to be secretive about how much time or money you spend.

Quick Reflection Checklist

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to use one of our responsible gambling tools or contact our support team.

1

Have you ever gambled with money you could not afford to lose — funds meant for household expenses, bills or savings?

2

Have you tried to stop or cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?

3

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — planning your next session or replaying previous bets even when you are doing something else?

4

Has gambling caused significant arguments or tension with family members, close friends or your partner?

5

Have you borrowed money, sold personal items or taken on debt specifically to fund gambling activity?

6

Do you feel restless, irritable or anxious when you are unable to gamble, or when you try to reduce the amount you bet?

7

Have you ever lied to someone close to you about how much time or money you have spent on gambling?

If you answered yes to two or more of the above: Please consider activating a cool-off period or self-exclusion now. You can also reach our support team directly via Live Chat — support is available in English and Urdu and is completely confidential. Seeking help early is always the right move.

Where to Get Help

Beyond the tools available on y999g, a number of organisations provide confidential support for people affected by problem gambling. The following are text-only references for your awareness.

y999g Support Team

Our own support staff are trained in responsible gambling and can assist you in activating any of the tools described on this page. Available via Live Chat and Help Centre in both English and Urdu. All conversations are handled with complete confidentiality and without judgment.

Gamblers Anonymous

Gamblers Anonymous is an internationally recognised peer-support fellowship for individuals who believe they may have a gambling problem. Meetings and resources are available in many countries. Pakistani users may find local or online meeting options by searching for Gamblers Anonymous Pakistan.

Family & Community Support

Talking to a trusted family member, friend or community leader is often a powerful first step. Pakistan has a strong family support culture — many people find that honest conversations with someone they trust in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or their home city are more accessible than formal resources. You are not alone.

Please note: y999g does not endorse or affiliate with any third-party organisation listed above. These references are provided solely for informational purposes. Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act 1977 imposes restrictions on gambling activity. y999g does not claim Pakistani government authorisation or licensing.

Keeping Gambling Away from Children

Device-Level Parental Controls

If you share a device with children or young people in your household, we recommend activating parental controls at the operating system level on Windows, iOS and Android. These can restrict access to gambling websites entirely, independent of any account-level settings on y999g.

Secure Your Account Credentials

Never share your y999g username and password with anyone, including family members. Ensure your device is locked when not in use. If you believe a minor has accessed your account at any point, contact our support team immediately so that the account can be reviewed and secured.

Enjoy y999g — Within Your Limits

Cricket, PSL T20, ICC tournaments, live casino and more — y999g is Pakistan's English-language platform for responsible, enjoyable online betting. Set your limits before you play, stick to your budget, and remember: gambling is entertainment, not a source of income.
