At pi999, we believe that betting should always be entertaining — never harmful. We provide practical tools, clear limits and honest information so Pakistani players can stay in control of their play at all times.
pi999 is designed for adults who enjoy the excitement of cricket betting, PSL and T20 markets, ICC tournaments, live casino games and sports like football and UFC. But we also know that gambling can become a problem for some people — and that is something we take seriously.
Responsible gambling at pi999 means giving every player the information and tools to make informed choices. Whether you are placing a small bet from Karachi on a Pakistan cricket match or following live UFC odds from Lahore, the principle is the same: you are always in control, and help is always available.
Gambling should be treated as entertainment with a cost — not as a way to make money, solve financial difficulties or cope with stress. If you ever feel your betting is getting out of hand, pi999 has a range of tools ready to help, and our support team is available around the clock.
Important: Gambling may be subject to legal restrictions in Pakistan. pi999 does not claim to be authorised or licensed by any Pakistani governmental body, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority or any Pakistani financial institution. This page does not constitute legal advice. Please understand applicable local law before participating.
Every pi999 feature is designed with your wellbeing as a priority, not just your entertainment.
Request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion at any time — no questions asked and no waiting period.
Set daily or weekly session time limits so gambling never takes more of your day than you intend.
Cap your daily, weekly or monthly PKR deposits to keep spending within a budget you are comfortable with.
These tools are free, easy to activate and take effect immediately. You can find them in your Account settings or by contacting our support team.
Set a maximum PKR amount you can deposit per day, per week or per month. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased for at least 24 hours (cooling-off period). Decreases take effect immediately.
Immediate effectDefine the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a set period. When you reach your loss limit, betting on the account is paused automatically until the period resets or you contact support to review the limit.
Immediate effectChoose how long each gaming session can last — from 30 minutes to several hours. A visible timer runs on screen, and a notification alerts you when you are approaching your limit. The session ends automatically when the timer expires.
Visible timerOpt in to receive on-screen pop-up reminders at intervals you choose (e.g., every 30 or 60 minutes). Each reminder shows how long you have been playing and your net position, so you can make an informed decision about whether to continue.
ConfigurableTake a short break — 1, 7 or 30 days — during which your account is temporarily suspended. You can continue to withdraw any balance but cannot deposit or place bets. The break cannot be cancelled once activated.
Reversible after periodIf you need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During this period, pi999 will not send you any marketing communications and will refund your remaining balance. Contact support to activate.
Permanent option available* Sample values shown for illustration. You set your own limits based on your budget and comfort level.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being honest with yourself is the first step. If any of the following apply to you, please consider using our tools or reaching out for support.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose.
Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.
Gambling late into the night or neglecting sleep, work, studies or family responsibilities to gamble.
Hiding your gambling activity from family members or friends in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or elsewhere.
Feeling anxious, irritable or depressed when you are not gambling or when you try to cut down.
Borrowing money, selling possessions or using funds meant for bills or household expenses to fund gambling.
Being unable to set or stick to betting limits, or consistently ignoring session-time reminders.
Gambling to escape problems, relieve stress or manage difficult emotions rather than for entertainment.
Finding yourself thinking about gambling constantly — planning your next bet even during other activities.
Recognising even one or two of these signs is a good reason to pause and reassess. You do not need to be in crisis to use our responsible gambling tools — they are there for every player, at any stage. Activate deposit limits, take a cool-off break or request self-exclusion directly from your Account settings or by emailing [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link).
The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible-gambling assessment frameworks. Reflect honestly on each one. There are no right or wrong answers here — this is for your own awareness only.
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to activate our responsible gambling tools or contact our support team. Seeking help early is always the right move.
You do not have to manage problem gambling on your own. The following organisations provide information, counselling and support. pi999 mentions these resources for general awareness only — we do not have a formal affiliation with any of them.
A leading international responsible-gambling charity providing confidential advice, support and counselling for people affected by problem gambling. Available online in multiple languages.
An international fellowship offering peer-support meetings and a 12-step recovery programme for people who identify that gambling has become a problem in their lives.

pi999 is strictly an adults-only platform. Registration and participation are permitted only for individuals aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age required by the operator's licence jurisdiction or the laws of your country of residence. Age verification is a mandatory part of the KYC process.
We strongly advise all account holders to take precautions to prevent minors from accessing their devices or accounts. This is particularly important in shared households across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar where multiple family members may use the same device.
If you believe a minor has accessed pi999, please contact our team immediately at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). We will investigate and take appropriate action, including account suspension and data deletion where required.
Use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication. Never share login credentials with anyone in your household, including older teenagers.
Use screen time controls, parental-control apps and device PINs on shared phones or tablets to prevent younger family members from accessing gambling sites or apps.
Talk openly with younger family members about the risks of gambling. Make clear that betting involves real PKR, real losses and is not suitable for anyone under 18.
Every pi999 account undergoes identity and age verification. Any account found to belong to a minor is immediately suspended and any funds returned.
Cricket, PSL markets, ICC tournaments and live casino games are all more enjoyable when you play within your means. Set your limits, know the signs and remember — help is always available.
