At 888cb, we believe that gambling should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress, debt, or hardship. Our responsible gaming programme is built to give every Pakistani player the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control at all times.
888cb is strictly an adult platform. Access to all gambling services — sports betting, casino games, slots, and live dealer tables — is permitted only to users aged 21 years or older. This policy is non-negotiable and is enforced through mandatory KYC verification at registration. Any account found to be operated by a minor will be closed immediately and all funds returned to the verified account holder.
888cb takes its duty of care towards players very seriously. We understand that gambling, like many leisure activities, carries an element of risk — and that for a small number of individuals, what starts as entertainment can develop into a pattern of harmful behaviour. That is why responsible gaming is not just a checkbox for us; it is a core pillar of how we operate.
Whether you are placing a bet on PSL from Karachi, enjoying blackjack from Lahore, or spinning slots in Islamabad, the 888cb platform is designed to keep you informed and in control. We provide a suite of self-management tools, clear warning signs to watch out for, and direct access to professional support services — all available from within your account dashboard.
This page outlines everything you need to know about playing responsibly on 888cb. We strongly encourage every player — new and experienced alike — to read through these guidelines and make use of the tools available. Remember: gambling should only ever be played with money you can afford to lose.
Our Toolkit
888cb gives every player practical tools to manage their gambling habits — available instantly from your account dashboard.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be lowered instantly but increases require a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
If you feel your gambling is getting out of hand, you can self-exclude from 888cb for a period of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or up to 5 years. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, marketing communications are suspended, and you cannot re-register until the period expires.
Losing track of time is one of the most common triggers for problem gambling. Set a maximum session duration and 888cb will display a clear reminder when your limit is approaching — giving you the nudge to step away, take a break, and come back fresh.
Not ready for full self-exclusion but need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. This tool is ideal for players who simply need a moment to pause, reflect, and reset without a long-term commitment.
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period. Once your loss limit is hit, 888cb automatically restricts further wagering for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially useful for keeping recreational play within a budget you have pre-decided on.
Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that show you how long you have been playing and your net win/loss for the session. These brief, non-intrusive prompts appear at intervals you choose — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — helping you make conscious, informed decisions rather than playing on autopilot.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling does not always look the same for everyone. Sometimes the warning signs are obvious; other times they creep up gradually. 888cb encourages all players to check in with themselves regularly. If you answer "yes" to several of the questions on the right, it may be time to use one of our self-management tools or speak with a professional support service.
These questions are adapted from internationally recognised responsible gaming assessment frameworks used by licensed operators and support organisations worldwide. They are not a clinical diagnosis — they are a prompt for honest self-reflection.
Remember: there is no shame in recognising that gambling has started to affect you negatively. Reaching out for help early is always the right move. Our support team at 888cb is here to assist, and professional confidential support is available free of charge through international problem gambling helplines.
Do you gamble with money that was meant for essential expenses like rent, groceries, or bills?
Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
Do you chase losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you have already lost?
Has gambling caused arguments, tension, or distress in your relationships with family or close friends?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling?
Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or taken other financial steps specifically to fund gambling?
Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you have started, even when you intended to play briefly?
Has your work, studies, or daily responsibilities been negatively affected by the time you spend gambling?
If you answered yes to 3 or more of the above, we strongly recommend activating self-exclusion or a cooling-off period immediately, and considering speaking with a professional counsellor. Contact our support team to get started.

Age Verification
888cb operates a zero-tolerance policy towards underage gambling. Every new account undergoes a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process before any real-money wagering is permitted. This requires users to submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as a Pakistani CNIC or passport — confirming that they are at least 21 years of age.
Accounts that cannot be verified or that are found to belong to a person under 21 will be suspended immediately. Any deposits made will be returned to the original funding source after a standard review period. 888cb staff are trained to identify irregular account behaviour that may indicate underage use and are empowered to trigger additional verification checks at any time.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe someone in your household under the age of 21 may have accessed or attempted to access 888cb, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act swiftly. We also recommend using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites on shared or household devices.
Responsible gaming begins with keeping gambling firmly in the hands of informed, consenting adults. The 21+ rule is not just a regulatory requirement for 888cb — it is a moral commitment we stand behind completely.
