At 888zh, we believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page outlines the tools, resources and policies we have in place to help you stay in control.
Our Commitment
888zh is built on the understanding that responsible gambling is not just a legal requirement — it is the foundation of a trustworthy platform. Whether you are following Pakistan cricket and PSL/T20 matches, exploring live casino tables, or placing a weekend wager on an ICC tournament, we want every session to remain within your personal limits.
We have designed a suite of practical account-management tools that give you direct, real-time control over your gambling activity. Deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and full self-exclusion are all available inside your account settings at any time.
Our responsible gambling framework applies to every registered user — whether you are in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar or anywhere else. The tools are easy to activate, and our support team is ready to assist if you need guidance.
Pakistan Legal Notice: Online gambling regulations in Pakistan — including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 — may restrict or prohibit online gambling for residents. 888zh does not claim government authorisation from the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan, or any provincial authority. Users are solely responsible for verifying whether their participation is lawful under applicable local law. This page does not constitute legal advice.
Core Principles
Every feature below is built directly into the 888zh platform. No third-party app required — just log in and take control.
We verify every new account holder's age before any wagering is permitted. Our KYC process requires a valid CNIC, passport, or other government-issued document. Anyone under 18 — or the higher minimum required by the operator or licence jurisdiction — is refused access entirely and their account is closed immediately.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you deposit — measured in PKR — directly through your account dashboard. You can also set a loss limit so that once you reach a defined threshold, further betting is automatically paused for the remainder of that period. Limits take effect immediately when reduced.
Choose how long each gambling session should last. Once your set time is reached, you will receive a prominent reminder and, if you choose, an automatic logout. Session time controls are a proven way to prevent extended, unplanned gambling — especially during long live-sports events like a full day's PSL double-header.
Need a short break without committing to a full self-exclusion? Activate a cooling-off period — from 24 hours to 6 weeks — during which your account is suspended and no deposits or bets are accepted. When the period ends, your account is reactivated automatically, giving you time and space to reassess.
If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem, you can request a full self-exclusion at any time. This permanently closes your account for a minimum period of six months. During self-exclusion, you will not receive any marketing communications from us. Re-registration is blocked for the full duration of the exclusion period.
Request a full activity report at any time showing your deposits, withdrawals, net position, and time spent on the platform over any period you select. In-session reality check pop-ups can be configured to appear at regular intervals, showing you how long you have been playing and your net result for that session.
Step-by-Step
Setting up your personal responsible gambling controls on 888zh takes less than two minutes. Here is how to do it:
Access your 888zh account from any device — mobile, tablet or desktop. All responsible gambling controls are available across every platform.
Navigate to your profile icon, then select "Responsible Gambling" from the account menu. All available tools are listed in a single, clearly labelled panel.
Select from deposit limit, loss limit, session time limit, reality check frequency, cooling-off period, or self-exclusion. Each tool has a simple on/off toggle and an amount or duration input.
Confirm your settings. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Limit increases are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling period before they become active — this is by design, to prevent impulsive increases during a losing session.
If you need help applying any control — including immediate self-exclusion — our support team is available 24/7 at [email protected]. We take all responsible gambling requests seriously and act on them without delay.
Detailed Controls
Each tool below is available inside your account settings panel. You do not need to contact support to activate most of them — they are self-service and take effect in real time.
Cap how much you deposit in a 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day rolling window. Choose an amount in Pakistani Rupees — for example, PKR 5,000 per day or PKR 25,000 per month. Once the cap is reached, deposits are blocked until the period resets.
Set the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a defined period. When your losses reach the threshold — say, PKR 10,000 in a week — betting is automatically suspended until the next period begins, giving you a built-in circuit breaker.
Limit the total amount you can stake during a session or over a rolling period. Useful for high-frequency markets such as in-play cricket betting during a PSL match, where the pace of available bets can make it easy to exceed your intended budget.
Receive an on-screen notification when you have been actively playing for a period you define — for example, 30 minutes or 1 hour. The alert displays your session duration and net result, prompting a conscious decision about whether to continue.
Suspend your account for 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or up to 6 weeks. During this time, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. No promotional emails are sent. At the end of the period, access is restored automatically — no contact with support needed.
Request permanent account closure for a minimum of 6 months, up to 5 years or indefinitely. We will block your account, remove you from all marketing lists, and flag your details to prevent re-registration during the exclusion period. Contact [email protected] to initiate.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early warning signs — in yourself or someone close to you — is the first and most important step toward getting back in control. If several of the following apply to you, we strongly encourage you to activate self-exclusion or speak to a counsellor.
If any of these resonate with you, please do not wait. Activate a self-exclusion through your account settings right now, or contact us at [email protected] and our team will help you immediately — without judgement.
Self-Assessment
Take a moment to reflect honestly on the questions below. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a personal prompt to help you assess your current relationship with gambling.
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to review our self-exclusion and limit-setting tools, or reach out to our support team for a confidential conversation.

Disclaimer: The organisations listed above are independent entities. 888zh does not endorse, operate, or have any commercial affiliation with any of the external resources mentioned. They are listed here solely to provide users with access to professional gambling-harm support. Availability and services may vary by region.
Underage Protection
888zh operates a strict zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. We require all users to be at least 18 years old — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or licence jurisdiction — before they can place any bets or access real-money games.
During the registration process, every new user must provide valid proof of age and identity. Our KYC team reviews submitted documents — including CNICs, passports and other government-issued IDs — before an account is fully activated. Any account where we have reasonable suspicion of underage access is suspended pending verification.
We also strongly encourage parents and guardians to make use of parental control and internet filtering software. If you share a device with minors, consider software solutions that allow you to restrict access to gambling websites, even if you are a registered adult user of 888zh.
If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on 888zh, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act promptly, including closing the account, returning any deposited funds, and reporting the matter as required by our compliance obligations.
Every account must pass identity and age verification before deposits or wagering are enabled. Accepted documents include Pakistan CNIC, passport, or other valid government-issued photo ID. Proof of address may also be required.
Our risk and compliance teams monitor account behaviour on an ongoing basis. Accounts that display patterns inconsistent with adult usage, or where age verification documents appear fraudulent or altered, are flagged for immediate review and suspension.
We recommend that households with children use internet filtering tools to block access to gambling websites. Many options are available for mobile and desktop devices. If you need guidance on suitable parental control software, our support team is happy to point you in the right direction.
