a789 is committed to providing a gaming environment where Pakistani players can enjoy casino games and cricket betting responsibly. Our Responsible Gaming programme gives you the tools, information, and support you need to keep gaming a form of entertainment — not a source of harm.
At a789, responsible gaming is not a legal footnote — it is a core part of how we operate. Every Pakistani player who opens an account on a789 deserves a platform that actively supports healthy play habits rather than simply maximising revenue from vulnerable individuals. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it shapes every policy and tool described on this page.
Gambling — whether it is a round of live baccarat, a PSL cricket bet, or an evening session on the slot games — should be entertainment. It should be something you choose to do with money you can afford to lose, within a time budget that does not affect your family, your work, or your wellbeing. When gambling stops being entertainment and starts being something that causes financial stress, relationship problems, or anxiety, it has crossed a line that a789 takes very seriously.
Our Responsible Gaming programme is built around four principles: Prevention (giving players the tools to stay in control before problems develop), Detection (monitoring for patterns that suggest a player may need support), Intervention (reaching out proactively when those patterns are identified), and Support (connecting players who need help with appropriate resources and pathways). Every Pakistani player on a789 benefits from all four of these protections automatically from the moment their account is created.
This page explains each element of the a789 Responsible Gaming programme in detail, including how to activate specific tools, what to expect from each, and how to seek further help if needed. We encourage every player — not just those who feel they have a problem — to read it fully.
If you or someone you know needs help right now: Contact a789 responsible gaming support directly at [email protected] — available 24/7. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours and take effect platform-wide immediately.
Every a789 player has access to the following protective tools. You can activate or adjust any of them at any time through your account settings or by contacting a789 support.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your a789 account. Once a limit is set, it is enforced immediately — the system will decline any deposit that would push you over your chosen threshold. Reducing a limit takes effect instantly. Increasing a limit is subject to a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions made during a losing session.
Define the maximum amount you are prepared to lose within a set period — daily, weekly, or monthly. When your net losses reach your chosen limit, a789 will prevent further wagering for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially useful for players who find it difficult to walk away during a losing streak, which is one of the most common and financially damaging patterns in problem gambling.
Set a maximum duration for each playing session. When your session timer expires, a789 will display a reminder and log you out automatically if you choose to enforce a hard stop. Session time limits address the tendency to lose track of time while gaming — a pattern that is more common on mobile devices, where many Pakistani players access a789 during evenings and weekends.
Enable periodic on-screen reminders during active sessions showing your total session time and net result. Reality checks interrupt the psychological state of flow that can cause players to lose awareness of time and spending. Receiving a clear display of "you have been playing for 2 hours and lost Rs 4,500" is often enough to prompt a considered decision to stop.
Request a temporary account pause of between 24 hours and 6 weeks without fully self-excluding. During a cooling-off period, your account is inactive for gaming but you retain access to your balance information. A cooling-off period is ideal for players who want to step back and reassess without committing to a full self-exclusion process.
Request a temporary (minimum 30 days) or permanent self-exclusion from a789. Self-exclusion is applied platform-wide within 24 hours of your request and prevents all gaming activity, bonus offers, and promotional communications. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. Temporary self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the exclusion period expires, regardless of any subsequent request — this is intentional and for your protection.
a789 strictly prohibits access to all platform products — casino games, sports betting, Callbreak, live dealer tables, slot games, and the VIP programme — to any person under the age of 21. This is not merely a policy statement; it is enforced through a mandatory KYC age verification process that every player must complete before any withdrawal can be processed.
The 21+ restriction reflects our understanding that younger players are statistically more vulnerable to developing problem gambling habits. Setting a higher minimum age than the absolute legal minimum in many jurisdictions is a deliberate choice by a789 — one that prioritises player welfare over short-term account growth.
During KYC verification, a789 requires government-issued identification (such as a Pakistani CNIC or passport) that clearly establishes date of birth. Any account found to have been registered by a person under 21 will be closed immediately, all balances returned to the originating payment method (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank), and the matter investigated in accordance with a789's compliance procedures.
Protecting Minors: If you are the parent or guardian of someone under 21 who you believe may have accessed a789, contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and close the account within 24 hours. Please also consider installing parental control software on shared devices to prevent unauthorised access.
Date of birth is collected at the point of registration. Players must confirm they are 21 or older to proceed.
Government-issued ID (CNIC, passport) is required before any withdrawal is processed. Age is confirmed against this document.
a789 monitors account activity for patterns inconsistent with verified Player profiles and flags anomalies for review.
Any account confirmed to belong to a person under 21 is closed immediately and all deposits returned.
Self-exclusion on a789 is a genuine protective tool — not a nominal checkbox that is difficult to activate, easy to reverse, or inconsistently enforced. Here is exactly what happens when you request self-exclusion:
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". State whether you are requesting a temporary exclusion (minimum 30 days, maximum 12 months) or a permanent exclusion. You do not need to provide a reason, though you are welcome to share context if it helps us direct you to additional support resources.
To protect against fraudulent exclusion requests (for example, a third party trying to lock another person's account), a789 will confirm your identity before processing the exclusion. This is a quick verification step and does not delay the process by more than a few hours in most cases.
Once confirmed, your self-exclusion is applied platform-wide within 24 hours. Your account is locked for all gaming activity. Any pending bonus offers are cancelled. All marketing communications from a789 to your registered contact details are suppressed immediately and remain suppressed for the entire exclusion period.
Any withdrawable balance in your account at the time of exclusion can be requested for withdrawal during the exclusion process. a789 will process your final withdrawal to your verified JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank account. Bonus balances are forfeited at the point of self-exclusion.
A temporary self-exclusion cannot be reversed before its expiry date, regardless of any subsequent request from the Player. If you contact a789 during a temporary exclusion period to request early reinstatement, your request will be declined. This is by design — it prevents impulsive reversal decisions made during a craving episode, which is exactly when self-exclusion is most important.
A permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances. If you choose permanent exclusion, your a789 account is closed definitively and no new account using the same identity documentation can be registered. Please consider a temporary exclusion first if you are uncertain.
Problem gambling often develops gradually. The questions below are drawn from standard self-assessment frameworks used by responsible gaming organisations. If you answer "yes" to several of these, it is worth speaking to someone — starting with a789 support or a professional counselling service.
Do you spend more time or money gambling than you originally intended?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible?
Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, boredom, or personal problems?
After losing, do you feel a strong urge to return and try to win back what you lost?
Have you borrowed money, sold belongings, or used household funds to gamble?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are supposed to be doing something else?
Have you hidden your gambling activity from family members or close friends?
Has gambling affected your sleep, your work performance, or your relationships?
Do you feel irritable, anxious, or low when you are not gambling?
Have you felt regret, shame, or guilt after a gambling session?
What to do if you answered yes to multiple questions: Start by activating deposit limits or a cooling-off period on a789 right now — it takes two minutes and puts an immediate constraint in place. Then contact a789 support to discuss self-exclusion options. Talking to someone you trust about your gambling is also a meaningful step. You do not need to hit a financial crisis before seeking help.
For the vast majority of Pakistani players on a789, gambling is and will remain a form of entertainment without any lasting negative consequences. The following guidelines help keep it that way.
Decide in advance how much you are prepared to spend — and treat that amount like the cost of an evening's entertainment, not as an investment you expect back. Use a789's deposit limit tool to enforce your budget automatically so the decision is made once, calmly, rather than in the heat of the moment.
Decide how long you will play before you start — whether it is 30 minutes between Maghrib and Isha prayers or a couple of hours on a weekend. Use a789's session time limit to enforce it. Long, unplanned sessions are where most overspending and regret-heavy decisions occur.
If you have reached your session loss limit, stop. The impulse to win back what you have lost is one of the most powerful and dangerous patterns in problem gambling. Every game outcome on a789 is independently determined — past losses have zero effect on future results. Chasing losses statistically deepens them.
Self-exclusion is available to all players, at any time, for any reason. It takes two minutes to request and is enforced within 24 hours. Your balance can still be withdrawn during the process.
Log In to Request ExclusionCan I undo a self-exclusion?
Temporary exclusions cannot be reversed before the exclusion period expires — this protection is intentional. When your exclusion period ends, contact support to request account reinstatement. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
Do deposit limits apply to JazzCash and EasyPaisa?
Yes. Deposit limits on a789 apply to all deposit methods, including JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank. The limit is enforced at the account level, not the payment method level.
What happens to my balance during self-exclusion?
Any withdrawable balance at the time of exclusion can be requested for withdrawal. a789 will process it to your verified payment method. Bonus balances are forfeited.
Will a789 contact me during a cooling-off period?
During a cooling-off period, all promotional and marketing communications are suppressed. You may still receive transactional messages (for example, a deposit confirmation or a security notification) as these are necessary account communications.
What if I am concerned about another person's gambling?
Contact a789 support with your concern. While we cannot disclose another player's account details due to privacy obligations, we can discuss general protective measures and direct you to appropriate third-party support resources for friends and family members of problem gamblers.
How quickly can I activate a deposit limit?
Deposit limit reductions take effect immediately via account settings or through a support request. Increases to existing limits are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period to prevent decisions made in the heat of a session.
