🛡️ Safe & Responsible Play

Responsible Gambling at Done99

Gambling is entertainment — not a financial strategy, not a way to solve problems, and not something that should ever cause harm. Done99 is committed to providing tools, information and support to help every player stay in control of their play.

If gambling is causing you distress, financial difficulty or relationship problems — stop playing now. Contact the Done99 support team via live chat, or reach out to a recognised problem-gambling support service in your region. You are never alone in this.

18+

Strictly Adults Only — 18 or Older

Done99 permits access only to users who are 18 years of age or older — or the higher minimum age required by the operator's licensing jurisdiction. Underage gambling is illegal, harmful and strictly prohibited. Done99 uses identity verification to enforce this requirement. If you know or suspect that a minor has accessed Done99, contact support immediately. Age alone does not determine the legality of gambling in Pakistan — local laws govern access and users bear full responsibility for compliance.

Gambling Should Always Be Fun

Done99 takes responsible gambling seriously. Pakistan has a passionate sports culture — cricket matches, PSL seasons, ICC tournaments — and betting adds excitement for millions of fans. But the moment gambling stops being enjoyable and starts being compulsive, it becomes a problem that no operator should ignore.

The tools on this page are built into every Done99 account. They are not hidden deep in settings menus — they are accessible features designed to help you maintain healthy habits. Whether you want to set a PKR deposit limit to manage your monthly spend, take a short break during a losing run, or exclude yourself entirely from the platform, these controls are available to you at any time.

Done99 also monitors account behaviour for patterns that may indicate problem gambling — including rapid successive deposits, extended session times and dramatic changes in wagering patterns. Where such patterns are detected, Done99 may reach out to the affected user with information about responsible gambling support, or may apply protective account measures in line with operator policy.

Done99 does not claim Pakistani government authorisation or licensing. Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 may restrict gambling activity. This page provides platform-level responsible gambling information only and does not constitute professional mental health or legal advice.
The Responsible Gambling Checklist

Healthy gambling looks like this:

You gamble with money you can genuinely afford to lose — separate from rent, bills, groceries and family expenses
You set a session time limit and stick to it, even when you're on a winning streak
You take regular breaks and do not chase losses after a bad session
You use Done99's deposit and loss limits to keep your spending predictable
Gambling is one entertainment option among many — not your primary hobby or coping mechanism
You are honest with people close to you about how much time and money you spend on gambling

Done99 Responsible Gambling Tools

All of the following tools are available on every Done99 account. Access them via Account Settings. Changes to limits take effect immediately for reductions; increases may require a mandatory waiting period.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit to your Done99 account per day, week or month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted for that period — regardless of how many times you try.

Example: Set a monthly deposit limit of PKR 5,000 and Done99 will block all deposits once that threshold is hit until the next monthly cycle begins.
Loss Limits

Cap the maximum net loss you can incur within a set period. When your losses reach the limit you've chosen, betting and gaming activity is paused for the remainder of that period.

Example: A weekly loss limit of PKR 2,500 means that once you have lost that amount across all games and bets, the platform pauses further wagering until the week resets.
Session Time Limits

Restrict how long you can remain actively logged in and playing in a single session. When your time limit is reached, Done99 will display a warning and, if you do not manually extend your session, log you out.

How to set: Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling → Session Limits → choose your preferred daily session duration.
Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from Done99 for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account remains open but all deposit and wagering functions are suspended.

Important: Cooling-off periods cannot be cancelled early once activated. Plan your break duration carefully before confirming.
Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion permanently or indefinitely closes your access to Done99. Once self-excluded, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. Done99 will also block any attempt to create a new account using your registered details.

Duration options: 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed for the duration of the chosen period — please consider carefully before activating.
Marketing Opt-Out

Remove yourself from Done99's promotional communications — bonus emails, SMS alerts, push notifications and re-engagement messages. You will still receive essential account and transaction notifications.

Why it matters: Promotional messages can be a trigger for excessive play. Removing them is a simple, effective way to reduce temptation during vulnerable periods.

How to Set Your Limits on Done99

Setting responsible gambling limits on Done99 takes less than two minutes. You do not need to call support or wait for approval — changes to limits are applied immediately from your account settings.

Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit — for example, raising your monthly deposit cap — is subject to a mandatory waiting period (typically 24–72 hours) to prevent impulsive changes during a difficult session. This cooling-off is intentional and designed to protect you.

If you cannot access your account settings or need help activating self-exclusion urgently, contact Done99 support via live chat. The support team can action responsible gambling requests directly.

Gambling Do's & Don'ts

Healthy Gambling Habits
Set a fixed entertainment budget for gambling each month and treat it as a non-recoverable cost — like a cinema ticket or a meal out
Keep track of your deposits and losses using your Done99 account history so you always know your real spend
Take breaks during long sessions — set an alarm, stand up, get water, and step away from the screen at regular intervals
Use a cooling-off period after a significant loss to give yourself time to reset before playing again
Keep gambling separate from daily responsibilities — never use money earmarked for household expenses, children's education or loan repayments
Talk openly with trusted family members or friends about your gambling activity — honest conversations reduce risk
Warning Behaviours to Avoid
Chasing losses — increasing your stake size to try to win back money you have already lost in the same session
Depositing money you need for rent, utility bills, food, or other essential expenses to fund gambling sessions
Gambling while emotionally distressed, under the influence of alcohol, or in a state of extreme stress or anxiety
Lying to family members or close friends about how much time and money you are spending on gambling
Borrowing money — from banks, friends, family or informal lenders — specifically to fund gambling activity
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you are unable to gamble — this is a significant warning sign of dependency

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling affects people from all backgrounds — from casual weekend bettors to daily players, from Karachi to Islamabad, from cricket fans to casino enthusiasts. The first step to addressing a gambling problem is recognising that one exists.

The signs below are not a clinical diagnosis — they are indicators that your gambling habits may have moved beyond healthy entertainment. If several of these apply to you regularly, please consider reaching out for support.

Done99 actively monitors for signs of problematic gambling behaviour within its platform. If we identify patterns consistent with problem gambling — such as repeated rapid deposits following large losses, or dramatically increasing stake sizes — we may contact you with a wellbeing check or temporarily apply protective account measures.

1

You find yourself thinking about gambling constantly — planning your next session, reliving past wins, or calculating how to fund your next deposit

2

You need to gamble with progressively larger amounts of money to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction

3

You have repeatedly tried to reduce or stop gambling but found yourself unable to follow through with the decision

4

You use gambling as a way to escape from problems, relieve stress, or deal with feelings of depression, anxiety or loneliness

5

After losing money, you feel compelled to return immediately and gamble more in an attempt to win it back (chasing losses)

6

You have lied to family members, friends or colleagues about how much time or money you spend on gambling

7

Gambling has caused serious problems in your personal relationships, professional life, financial situation or mental and physical health

8

You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or used funds set aside for other essential purposes in order to gamble

Quick Gambling Habits Check

Ask yourself these questions honestly. This is not a diagnostic tool — but your answers may help you decide whether to seek further support.

Q1

Have I ever spent more money on gambling than I planned to — and felt unable to stop once I started?

Q2

Have I gambled with money that was intended for essential household expenses, like rent, food or utility bills?

Q3

Have I felt restless, irritable or anxious when I tried to cut back or take a break from gambling?

Q4

Have I hidden my gambling activity from my family, spouse, or people close to me because I was worried about their reaction?

Q5

Have I ever borrowed money — from family, friends, or any financial source — specifically to fund gambling activity?

Q6

Have I missed work, family commitments or social events because I was gambling or recovering from a bad gambling session?

Q7

Do I feel that gambling is taking up a disproportionate amount of my time, mental energy or financial resources?

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions — even occasionally — consider speaking to a support service. A "yes" does not automatically mean you have a problem, but it is worth reflecting on your habits honestly. Done99's self-exclusion and cooling-off tools are available immediately from your Account Settings. Alternatively, contact Done99 support via live chat and ask to activate a self-exclusion or limit.

General Guidance 🏥
Professional Support Services

If gambling is seriously affecting your mental health, finances or relationships, please speak to a qualified mental health professional or counsellor. In Pakistan, mental health support is available through registered practitioners in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and other major cities. Done99 encourages users to seek professional help when needed.

A Note on Support Resources in Pakistan

Pakistan does not currently have a dedicated national gambling helpline comparable to those found in some other countries. Done99 acknowledges this gap. For Pakistani users experiencing gambling-related difficulties, the following general guidance applies:

  • Speak with a qualified psychologist or counsellor. Mental health practitioners in cities like Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad can provide confidential support for behavioural issues including problematic gambling;
  • Pakistan has a growing number of mental health NGOs and community health organisations that can provide referrals to appropriate support;
  • Gambling addiction shares characteristics with other impulse control disorders — many addiction support frameworks and professionals can assist even if they do not specifically specialise in gambling;
  • Done99 strongly recommends activating the self-exclusion tool immediately if gambling is causing financial or emotional harm, and seeking professional support alongside that action.
