Gambling is entertainment — and like all entertainment, it works best when it stays in its place. This guide outlines the tools, resources and principles 87pcom has built specifically to help Pakistani players stay in control, set limits and recognise when to step back.
At 87pcom, we believe the best gambling experience is one where players remain in control at every step. Whether you are placing a cricket bet during a PSL final in Lahore or spinning slots from Islamabad on a lazy evening, the experience should never become a source of financial stress, anxiety or harm.
The reality is that for most people, gambling is a form of fun — a way to add excitement to a cricket match or enjoy a casino game without any wider consequences. But for a minority, gambling can develop into a pattern of behaviour that causes genuine harm. That shift can happen gradually, and the earlier it is recognised and addressed, the better the outcome.
"Responsible gambling is not about limiting your enjoyment — it is about ensuring that your gambling stays enjoyable, affordable and firmly within your control, every single time you play."
This page exists to give you clear, practical information about the tools 87pcom provides to support responsible play, the warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem, and guidance on where to seek help if you ever need it. We take this seriously — not as a legal formality, but because player wellbeing is genuinely central to how we think about this platform.
87pcom is strictly for adults. You must be 18 years of age or older — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or license jurisdiction — to register and use this platform. Age verification is a mandatory step in the account registration process and is enforced consistently.
Users in Pakistan should also note that online gambling is subject to legal restrictions under applicable laws, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. 87pcom does not claim Pakistani government authorisation for its services. Users remain solely responsible for verifying the legality of their participation in their location.
Every registered 87pcom account has access to the following responsible gambling tools — accessible through your account settings at any time, at no cost. You do not need to contact support to activate most of these features.
87pcom operates a strict adults-only policy. You must be a minimum of 18 years old — or the higher minimum age required by the applicable operator or license jurisdiction — to register, deposit or place any wager on this platform.
Age verification is mandatory during the KYC process. We may require government-issued identification documents (such as a CNIC, passport or driving licence) to confirm your age before your account is fully activated or before any withdrawal is processed.
Where we have reasonable grounds to suspect an account is held by a minor, we will immediately restrict access, conduct a verification review and, if confirmed, close the account — returning any real-money deposits to their original source.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor in your care may have accessed this platform, please contact our support team immediately. We treat all such reports with the highest priority.
Age verification is not just a regulatory box to tick. Minors are significantly more susceptible to developing problematic gambling behaviours, and the consequences — financial, emotional and social — can follow them into adulthood. Preventing underage access is one of the most important responsible gambling commitments we can make.
In practice, this means that account registration requires truthful date-of-birth information, and that our KYC process verifies identity and age before full account privileges — including withdrawals — are granted. No amount of promotional activity or welcome bonuses justifies allowing an underage individual to access real-money gambling.
For Pakistani users specifically: gambling legality under applicable law — including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 — is a separate consideration from age. Being 18 or older does not by itself make online gambling lawful in Pakistan. Users must independently assess their legal position.
Parental Controls: If you share a device with younger family members — particularly in households across Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and other cities — we strongly recommend using device-level parental control software and keeping your account credentials strictly private. Never allow anyone else to use your 87pcom account.
Problem gambling develops gradually and can be difficult to identify from the inside. The following are recognised warning signs that gambling may be moving from entertainment into a pattern that causes harm. If several of these apply to you, it is worth taking them seriously.
If you recognise multiple warning signs above, please use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools in your 87pcom account settings, or contact our support team directly. You can also reach out to responsible gambling support organisations — see the Support Resources section below.
Responsible gambling starts with healthy habits from day one. These straightforward practices help keep gambling enjoyable and manageable for Pakistani players at 87pcom.
Limits at 87pcom are designed to be easy to set, immediately effective when reduced and deliberately slow to increase — giving you a natural buffer against impulsive decisions.
Important: Reductions to any limit take effect immediately. Increases to limits are subject to a mandatory review period before activation — this intentional delay protects you from undoing protective measures during a session. All limit settings are accessible under Account Settings within your 87pcom dashboard.
Self-exclusion is a permanent or long-term account closure tool for users who feel gambling is causing harm. It takes only a few minutes to activate and our team processes all requests with priority — no delays, no questions, no judgment.
Answer honestly. This is for your own awareness — your responses are not recorded or shared with anyone.
If gambling is affecting your life, you don't have to handle it alone. Several international and regional organisations provide confidential support, counselling and guidance for individuals experiencing gambling-related difficulties.
The following organisations offer support services relevant to the international and regional context for players, including those in Pakistan. These are mentioned as informational text references only — 87pcom has no affiliation with any of these organisations, and mentions do not imply endorsement in either direction.
In addition to professional support resources, talking openly with a trusted family member, friend or religious counsellor can also be a meaningful first step — particularly within Pakistani cultural contexts where community and family support play an important role.
Note: Contact details for support organisations change over time. Where any organisation is mentioned below, users should independently verify current contact information. 87pcom does not manage or operate any of the resources listed.
Gambling at 87pcom is designed to be entertaining, fair and within your control. The tools are here, the support is available — all you need to do is play smart, play within your means and enjoy the game.
18+ only — or the higher minimum required by the operator/license jurisdiction. Gambling involves financial risk. Local laws in Pakistan may restrict online gambling — users are solely responsible for verifying the legality of participation in their jurisdiction.
