A message from 980kr: Gambling on 980kr is meant to be entertainment — a way to enjoy cricket betting during PSL season, spin premium slots, or try your hand at live casino games. It is not a way to make money, solve financial problems, or cope with stress. If it ever starts to feel like those things, our tools and support team are here to help you take back control immediately.

Six Pillars of Player Protection at 980kr

Every element of 980kr's responsible gaming programme is built around these six foundational principles — designed to keep Pakistani players informed, empowered, and protected at every stage of their gaming journey.

Strict 21+ Age Enforcement

980kr enforces a minimum age of 21 years on every account. Age verification via CNIC, passport, or government-issued ID is mandatory before any withdrawal is processed. No exceptions are made under any circumstance. Players suspected to be underage are suspended immediately pending verification.

Deposit & Loss Limits in PKR

Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits and loss caps directly from their account settings — denominated in Pakistani Rupees. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive changes made under pressure.

Session Time Controls

980kr allows players to set session time limits that trigger an automatic log-out after a chosen duration. Optional in-session reminders notify you when you have been playing for 30, 60, or 90 minutes. These nudges are designed to prevent loss of time awareness — one of the most common signs of problem gambling behaviour.

Cool-Off & Take a Break

If you feel like you need a short break from gaming, 980kr's Take a Break feature lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Marketing communications are also paused automatically during your break.

Self-Exclusion Programme

For players who need a longer-term break, 980kr's self-exclusion programme allows you to close your account for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully locked, all promotional communications cease, and your profile is flagged to prevent re-registration under the same identity documents.

24/7 Dedicated Support

980kr's trained responsible gaming support agents are available around the clock via live chat. Whether you are worried about your own play patterns, concerned about someone close to you, or simply need to talk through your options — our team responds with empathy, confidentiality, and zero judgment, any time of day or night.


How to Self-Exclude
on 980kr

Self-exclusion is a formal, binding commitment to stop gambling on 980kr for a defined period. It is one of the most effective tools available to players who feel their gambling is getting out of control. The process takes less than two minutes and is completely confidential.

Important: Self-exclusion on 980kr applies to your 980kr account only. If you are concerned about gambling across multiple platforms, we strongly recommend also contacting a national or international problem gambling helpline for broader support.

Follow these steps to activate self-exclusion from your 980kr account:

  • 1 Log in to your 980kr account and navigate to Account Settings in the top-right menu.
  • 2 Select Responsible Gaming from the settings sidebar to access all player protection tools.
  • 3 Click Self-Exclusion and choose your exclusion duration: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent closure.
  • 4 Confirm your identity via a one-time verification step. Your account will be locked within 60 seconds of confirmation.
  • 5 You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address. If you do not receive it within 10 minutes, contact live chat immediately.
  • 6 Alternatively, contact 980kr support directly via live chat and request self-exclusion verbally — our agents can activate it on your behalf instantly.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. Recognising the early signs is the first and most important step toward getting help.

Chasing losses means continuing to gamble — and often increasing your stakes — in an attempt to win back money you have already lost. This is one of the clearest indicators of problem gambling behaviour. At 980kr, if our monitoring systems detect repeated large bets following a significant loss, our responsible gaming team may proactively reach out to check on your wellbeing. If you recognise this pattern in yourself, use the deposit or wager limit tools immediately, or contact support via live chat.

Sitting down to play for 30 minutes and finding that two hours have passed is a common experience among players developing unhealthy patterns. Loss of time awareness during gambling is a well-documented warning sign. 980kr's session time reminders and Reality Check messages are specifically designed to counteract this. Set a session limit before you start — even on casual evenings watching PSL — and honour it.

Using rent money, utility funds, grocery budgets, or borrowed money to fund gambling is a serious red flag. 980kr's deposit limits in PKR are designed to help you ring-fence your gaming budget from essential household expenses. If you find yourself tempted to deposit from funds earmarked for necessities, activate a deposit limit immediately or take a break. Financial difficulty caused by gambling can escalate quickly — early action is always better than delayed action.

When gambling starts affecting your relationships with family — particularly in close-knit Pakistani family structures — or begins interfering with work, studies, or daily responsibilities, it has moved beyond healthy entertainment. If people close to you have expressed concern about your gaming habits, take their feedback seriously. 980kr recommends speaking openly with a trusted family member or friend and reaching out to our support team if you need an impartial perspective.

Using gambling as a way to escape anxiety, depression, boredom, or stress — rather than for entertainment — is a significant warning sign. This pattern can cause gambling to feel compulsive rather than freely chosen. 980kr is an entertainment platform, not a coping mechanism. If you notice you are logging in primarily when you are stressed or emotionally low, we strongly encourage you to use the Take a Break feature and seek support from a mental health professional or gambling support service.

Ask Yourself These Questions

The following questions are adapted from internationally recognised responsible gaming assessment frameworks. Be honest with yourself — this is for your benefit only and is completely private.

Protecting Young People
Is Non-Negotiable at 980kr

980kr maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward underage gambling. Our multi-layered verification process ensures that only adults aged 21 and above can access the platform and its features.

Mandatory KYC at Registration

Every new 980kr account must pass a Know Your Customer verification process that includes submission of a government-issued ID — Pakistani CNIC, passport, or driver's licence — confirming that the applicant is 21 years of age or older before full account access is granted.

Ongoing Monitoring

980kr's security systems continuously monitor for behavioural patterns inconsistent with adult play. Any account flagged for suspicious age-related indicators is suspended immediately and subjected to enhanced manual verification before access is restored.

Parental Guidance & Controls

If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend using device-level parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites. 980kr also recommends that adults keep their account credentials strictly private and never share login details with anyone, including family members.

Report Underage Access: If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on 980kr, please report it immediately via live chat. We will investigate and act within 24 hours. Protecting young people from gambling harm is a shared responsibility, and 980kr takes every report seriously.

Licensed, Regulated, and
Independently Accountable

980kr operates under an international gaming licence that mandates specific responsible gaming standards, player protection tools, and compliance obligations — giving Pakistani players an additional layer of institutional protection.

International Gaming Licence

980kr holds an international gaming licence issued by a recognised regulatory authority. This licence requires 980kr to maintain documented responsible gaming policies, submit to independent audits, and provide mandatory player protection mechanisms as a condition of continued operation.

GDPR-Aligned Data Protection

All player data collected during responsible gaming interactions — including self-exclusion requests, limit settings, and support chat transcripts — is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and GDPR-aligned data protection standards. Your responsible gaming history is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Responsible Gaming Resources

980kr supports players in seeking help beyond our platform. International organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare, and BeGambleAware provide free, confidential support services to individuals and families affected by problem gambling — regardless of geography or language barriers.

Regulatory Compliance: As part of its international licensing obligations, 980kr undergoes periodic independent audits of its responsible gaming systems. These audits verify that player protection tools are functioning correctly, that age verification processes meet required standards, and that self-exclusion systems operate as described. Audit reports are reviewed by the licensing authority and form part of 980kr's ongoing licence renewal process.
