Controls Built Into Your r788 Account

All the following tools are available directly from your account dashboard — no support ticket required. Limits take effect immediately when reduced. Increases are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period to give you time to reflect.

Active Now
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reductions apply immediately; increases are subject to a 24-hour cooling-off window.

Active Now
Loss Limits

Decide in advance the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a defined period. When that threshold is reached, the platform will halt further wagering until the limit period expires. Losing streaks happen — a pre-set limit ensures they stay within bounds you chose when thinking clearly.

Active Now
Session Time Reminders

Configure on-screen alerts that notify you when you have been playing for a defined duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or a custom interval. Time has a way of disappearing during a live cricket match. A session reminder brings you back to a conscious choice about whether to continue.

Reality Check Pop-ups

Periodic on-screen summaries showing your net position for the current session — how long you have been playing, total wagered and total won or lost. This feature interrupts automatic play behaviour and prompts a deliberate decision to continue or stop.

Take a Break

Request a temporary account suspension of 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days without going through full self-exclusion. During a break, your account is inaccessible for wagering and marketing communications are paused. Useful if you want a short pause without committing to a longer period.

Critical Tool
Self-Exclusion

For users who feel that gambling has become a problem, self-exclusion allows you to request a minimum 30-day or indefinite suspension of your account. The exclusion is processed without delay. During the exclusion period, r788 will not accept any re-registration attempts from the same individual. See the full Self-Exclusion section below.

Understanding the Risk

When Does Gambling Become a Problem?

The vast majority of people who gamble do so for entertainment — placing a wager on a Pakistan vs India ICC match, enjoying a weekend slot session or following the PSL table with real stakes attached. For most players, that is the full extent of it. Gambling sits alongside other forms of leisure spending and stays within conscious limits.

Problem gambling is different. It describes a pattern where gambling begins to dominate thinking and behaviour, where losses lead to chasing bets, where secrecy starts to build and where money earmarked for household needs — groceries, rent, school fees — starts finding its way into deposit accounts. It can happen gradually, and it affects people across all backgrounds, income levels and cities, from Islamabad to Faisalabad.

Recognising the signs early is the most effective form of protection. Below are the warning signs that, individually or in combination, suggest gambling may have moved beyond entertainment into something that needs attention.

It is important to understand: problem gambling is a recognised condition with established support pathways. Seeking help is not weakness — it is the right decision, and r788 will support any user who chooses to use the tools on this page or reach out to professional support resources.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Chasing losses — placing bigger bets to try to recover what you've lost
Hiding gambling activity from family, friends or colleagues
Gambling for longer than planned, or longer than you intended when you started
Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing bill payments to fund gambling
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when not gambling
Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling despite wanting to
Neglecting work, family responsibilities or social relationships due to gambling time
Needing to bet increasing amounts to feel the same level of excitement

Signs of Healthy Gambling

You gamble for entertainment, not to solve financial problems
You have a pre-set budget and stop when it's reached
Gambling is one leisure activity among many, not the main focus
You can take a break without feeling anxious or drawn back
Self-Assessment

Quick Check: Is Gambling Still Under Control?

These questions are adapted from recognised responsible gambling screening frameworks. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a personal prompt to honest reflection. If several of these questions prompt a "yes" or "sometimes", it is worth speaking to a support resource or activating account limits.

There is no score to submit. Simply reading through and being honest with yourself is the purpose of this exercise. r788 recommends revisiting these questions periodically, not just when something feels wrong.

Remember: If you feel that gambling has become a problem, use the self-exclusion tool in your account dashboard immediately, or contact r788 support at [email protected] for assistance activating protective measures on your account.

How Limits Work

Set Your Boundaries Before You Start Playing

The most effective gambling limits are the ones you set before a session — not in the heat of a losing run. Here is a practical guide to each limit type available on r788.

Daily Deposit Limit

Maximum amount you can deposit in any 24-hour rolling period. The most granular level of control for day-to-day spending.

Weekly Deposit Limit

A 7-day cap on total deposits. Useful for users who play across multiple sessions over the course of a cricket series or tournament week.

Monthly Deposit Limit

Total deposits capped over a calendar month. The broadest deposit control — ideal as a budget anchor for the month's leisure spending.

Daily Loss Limit

When your net losses in a single day reach this amount, wagering is suspended for the rest of that day. Losses are calculated in real time.

Session Time Limit

A defined maximum duration for any single play session. When reached, the session ends and you receive a summary of your activity.

Wager Limit

A ceiling on the maximum stake you can place on a single bet or game round, regardless of your available balance.

All limit reductions on r788 take effect immediately. Limit increases are subject to a minimum 24-hour cooling-off period before they come into effect — this is a deliberate design choice to prevent impulsive increases made during a losing session. r788 will never prompt you to increase your limits.
Self-Exclusion

How to Exclude Yourself from r788

Self-exclusion is the most powerful protective tool available on r788. It is designed for players who feel they have lost control of their gambling and need a firm boundary that cannot be easily undone in a moment of temptation.

Once a self-exclusion request is submitted, r788 processes it without delay. The account is suspended, all marketing communications cease immediately and any pending bonuses are forfeited. Your verified Real Money Balance remains accessible for withdrawal during the exclusion process.

Self-exclusion on r788 is available for a minimum period of 30 days and can extend to indefinite exclusion. At the end of a defined exclusion period, reactivation requires a deliberate request from the account holder and a short cooling-off confirmation step. r788 will not proactively contact you to encourage reactivation.

Important: Exclusion Is Binding

During an active self-exclusion period, r788 will not process any request to reactivate the account before the exclusion period ends. Attempting to create a new account to circumvent an active exclusion is a breach of the Terms & Conditions and the account will be closed immediately upon identification.

Follow these steps to activate self-exclusion on your r788 account:

1
Log Into Your r788 Account

Access your account using your registered credentials. Self-exclusion must be initiated by the account holder directly.

2
Navigate to Responsible Gambling Settings

Within your account dashboard, go to the Responsible Gambling or Player Protection section. All limit and exclusion tools are located there.

3
Select Self-Exclusion and Choose Duration

Choose your exclusion period: 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year or indefinite. If you are unsure, choosing a longer period is always the safer option.

4
Confirm the Request

You will be asked to confirm the exclusion with a simple verification step. Once confirmed, the exclusion takes effect immediately — no further confirmation is required.

5
Alternatively, Contact Support Directly

If you cannot access your account or prefer to speak with a support agent, contact r788 live chat or email [email protected] with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request". The team will action this immediately, 24 hours a day.

Support & Help

You Don't Have to Deal with This Alone

If gambling has become a problem for you or someone you care about, the following avenues for support are available. r788 support is always the first point of contact for account-level tools — but professional organisations offer independent, confidential guidance.

r788 Support Team

Available 24/7 via live chat and email. Agents are trained to assist with all responsible gambling tools — limit settings, take-a-break requests and self-exclusion — without judgment. Contact: [email protected] (plain text, not a link).

Gamblers Anonymous

An international peer-support fellowship for people who identify as having a gambling problem. GA follows a 12-step recovery model and operates groups in many countries. Contact your local GA chapter for meeting availability in your area.

National Helplines

Many jurisdictions operate mental health and addiction helplines staffed by trained counsellors. In Pakistan, the Umang helpline and similar services offer confidential support for behavioural health concerns, including compulsive gambling.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Sometimes the most effective first step is talking to a family member, a close friend or a trusted community figure. In many Pakistani households, family networks are a genuine source of support — using them is not a sign of failure.

A Note for Pakistani Users

Pakistan's legal framework around gambling — including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 and related provincial legislation — means that gambling occupies a legally restricted space for residents of Pakistan. r788 does not claim to be licensed, approved or endorsed by the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan or any Pakistani provincial authority. This page does not constitute legal advice.

Pakistani users should be aware that payment processors familiar in Pakistan — Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah — are referenced on this platform for contextual familiarity only. None of these institutions endorse, support or are affiliated with online gambling. Payment availability is subject to the operator's current terms.

If you are a Pakistani user and are concerned about your gambling behaviour, r788 encourages you to use the account protection tools described on this page and to seek professional support. The platform's responsible gambling tools function regardless of your jurisdiction, and our support team is available in English and Urdu.
