"The best bet you can make is knowing when to stop."

d789 is committed to promoting responsible gaming among our Pakistani players. Whether you're betting on PSL cricket matches, spinning slots, or enjoying live casino games, gaming should remain entertainment — something you enjoy on your own terms, within budgets you're comfortable with, and never at the expense of your wellbeing or responsibilities.

We understand that for most people, sports betting and casino games are a fun way to add excitement to watching cricket or trying your luck on a Friday night. But we also know that for a small number of players, gaming can become a problem that affects finances, relationships, and mental health. Our responsible gaming programme exists to help every player stay in control and to step in with support when patterns suggest someone might be struggling.

This page explains the tools d789 provides to help you manage your gaming, the warning signs that gaming might be becoming a problem, and the practical steps you can take if you're concerned about your own play or someone else's. We've kept the tone straightforward because responsible gaming is a serious topic that deserves honest conversation, not corporate buzzwords.

Set Your Budget

Decide how much PKR you can afford to spend on gaming before you start. Deposit limits help enforce that budget so you never spend more than planned.

Watch Your Time

Set session reminders that alert you when you've been playing for a certain amount of time. Taking regular breaks keeps gaming fun rather than obsessive.

Take a Break

Self-exclusion tools let you temporarily or permanently close your account if you feel gaming is no longer healthy entertainment for you.

Tools to Stay in Control

d789 provides several practical tools that put you in control of how much you deposit, how long you play, and when you step away. These tools are available through your account settings and can be adjusted at any time. Setting limits doesn't mean you're a problem gambler — it means you're playing smart.

Deposit Limits

Deposit limits cap how much PKR you can add to your account over a specified period. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits that reflect what you're comfortable spending. Once you hit your limit, you won't be able to deposit more until the period resets. If you want to increase a limit, there's a cooling-off period before the new limit takes effect. Decreases apply immediately.

Setting a deposit limit is the single most effective way to ensure gaming stays within your entertainment budget. Think about what you spend on other leisure activities each week — cinema tickets, eating out, mobile top-ups — and set a gaming budget in that same range.

Session Time Reminders

Session reminders pop up after you've been playing for a set amount of time. You can configure these to show after 30 minutes, an hour, two hours, or any interval that makes sense for you. The reminder simply displays your current session length and net win or loss, giving you a moment to decide whether to keep playing or log out.

Time passes quickly when you're focused on a cricket match or in the middle of a slots session. These reminders act as reality checks, breaking the flow just long enough for you to make a conscious decision about continuing.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is for players who feel they need a complete break from gaming. You can choose to self-exclude for a period ranging from a few weeks to several months, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is locked and you cannot deposit, place bets, or access any gaming features. Any remaining balance is withdrawn to your registered payment method.

Self-exclusion isn't a failure — it's a responsible decision to step back when gaming stops being fun. If you choose to self-exclude, our support team will process your request immediately and confirm the exclusion period. There is no way to reverse self-exclusion once applied; the lock stays in place for the full duration you selected.

How to Set Limits on Your Account

Step 1: Log in to your d789 account and go to Account Settings.
Step 2: Navigate to the Responsible Gaming section.
Step 3: Choose the tool you want to set — deposit limit, session reminder, or self-exclusion.
Step 4: Enter your preferred limits or exclusion period and confirm.
Step 5: Your settings take effect immediately or after a short delay, depending on the tool.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Gaming becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with other parts of your life. Most people can enjoy sports betting and casino games without any issues, but it's important to recognise the warning signs that your gaming might be getting out of hand. Below are common patterns that suggest it might be time to step back and reassess.

Spending Beyond Your Budget

You're depositing more than you planned or using money meant for bills, rent, or family expenses to fund your gaming.

Chasing Losses

After a losing session, you immediately deposit more and bet bigger amounts trying to win back what you lost.

Playing for Too Long

Gaming sessions extend for hours at a time, and you find it hard to log out even when you intended to stop.

Neglecting Responsibilities

You're skipping work, ignoring family commitments, or missing social events because you're gaming or thinking about gaming.

Hiding Your Activity

You're keeping your gaming secret from family or friends, or lying about how much time and money you're spending.

Gaming to Escape

You're using gaming to avoid dealing with stress, anxiety, or other problems rather than as entertainment.

If Any of These Apply to You

Take a break. Use our self-exclusion tool or set strict deposit and time limits. Talk to someone you trust about what's going on. Gaming should never cause financial stress or damage your relationships. If it is, it's time to step back and get support.

Tips for Healthy Gaming

Responsible gaming isn't complicated — it comes down to treating gaming as entertainment rather than a way to make money or solve problems. Here are practical guidelines that help keep gaming fun and under control.

A Simple Rule of Thumb

If gaming stops being fun — if you're playing out of habit, chasing losses, or feeling anxious when you're not playing — that's the signal to take a break. Fun is the only valid reason to game. The moment it stops being that, step away.

Adults Only

d789 is strictly for players aged 18 and above. We verify age during registration and will close any account found to belong to a minor, with any balance returned to the payment source.

Activity Monitoring

Our team reviews unusual patterns in gaming and deposit activity. Where we spot potential signs of problem gaming, we proactively reach out to offer support and review account settings.

24/7 Support

Our support team is available around the clock. If you want to set limits, request self-exclusion, or just talk through concerns about your gaming, we're here to help without judgement.

Protecting Under-18s

d789 is an adults-only platform and we take underage access seriously. All new accounts go through an age verification process during registration. Where age cannot be confirmed, accounts are restricted until verification is completed. Any account found to belong to a player under 18 is closed immediately and any deposits are returned.

If You Share a Device

If you use a shared computer, tablet, or mobile phone in a household that includes children or teenagers, please ensure your d789 account is always properly logged out after each session. Do not save your login credentials on shared devices. Consider using a separate device for gaming if there is any risk of younger family members accessing your account.

Most smartphones and tablets also include built-in parental control and screen time management features that can restrict access to specific apps or websites. These tools can add an extra layer of protection if you share devices with younger family members.

If You're Concerned About a Young Person

If you believe a minor has accessed or is accessing d789, contact our support team immediately. Provide as much detail as you can and we will investigate and act promptly. The protection of minors is a firm, non-negotiable commitment for us.

Common Questions About Responsible Gaming

Log in to your account and head to Account Settings, then the Responsible Gaming section. From there you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in PKR. Limits take effect immediately, and any reduction applies right away. Increases have a short waiting period before they activate.

No. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed once it is in place. The exclusion runs for the full duration you selected at the time of your request. This is by design — it ensures the tool actually protects you rather than being easy to bypass in a moment of impulse. Once the exclusion period ends, you may contact support to discuss reactivation.

Any balance remaining in your account when you self-exclude will be withdrawn to your registered payment method — JazzCash, Easypaisa, bank account, or whichever method you used for your last deposit. This is processed promptly after your exclusion is applied. Bonus balances that have not met wagering requirements are forfeited.

If you're concerned about a family member or friend, the most important step is having an honest, non-judgmental conversation with them about what you've noticed. Avoid accusations — focus on specific behaviours and express concern for their wellbeing. If they're open to it, you can encourage them to contact our support team to discuss setting limits or self-excluding. Ultimately, a person has to decide to seek help themselves, but your support can make a real difference in getting there.

They work well for players who get caught up in sessions without realising how much time has passed. The reminder breaks the flow for a moment, shows you your net result for the session, and gives you a deliberate moment to decide whether to keep going. Combined with a pre-set deposit limit, they're a genuinely useful pair of tools for keeping gaming within healthy boundaries.
