Player Protection & Responsible Gaming

Play Smart, Play Safe — com789's Responsible Gaming Commitment

com789 was built on the belief that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress, anxiety, or harm. For players across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and everywhere in between, we provide transparent tools, clear age restrictions, and genuine support to ensure every experience on com789 remains within safe, healthy limits.

com789 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. CNIC-based age verification is mandatory for all accounts before any withdrawal can be processed. Registering or attempting to use the platform if you are under 21 is a breach of our Terms & Conditions and will result in immediate account closure. If you suspect a minor is using com789, contact us immediately at [email protected].

What Responsible Gaming Means at com789

Responsible gaming is not a page on a website — it is a commitment built into every corner of the com789 platform. It means designing features that encourage mindful play. It means making self-control tools easy to find and easier to use. It means training the support team to recognise the signs of problem gambling and respond appropriately. And it means enforcing age restrictions without exception, regardless of how inconvenient that may be for any individual transaction.

Pakistan has a deeply passionate cricket culture, and com789 is proud to serve that passion through PSL betting, World Cup markets, and live cricket wagering. But passion and impulse are different things. com789's responsible gaming framework exists precisely to help players stay on the right side of that line — enjoying the excitement of a big PSL final without risking more than they can comfortably afford to lose.

The tools described on this page are accessible to every registered com789 player at any time, from within the account settings panel. There is no need to contact support to set a deposit limit or a session time reminder — these are self-service features, available because we believe that easy access to control tools is a fundamental part of a safe gambling environment.

If you are already feeling that gambling has moved beyond entertainment for you — if you are chasing losses, borrowing money to fund deposits, or finding it hard to stop — please use the self-exclusion tools described below, or reach out to the com789 support team. The team handles responsible gaming matters in both English and Urdu, and all such conversations are treated with complete confidentiality.

Max Cooling-Off

All responsible gaming tools on com789 are self-service and available instantly from your account settings panel. No support ticket is required to set deposit limits, session alerts, or cooling-off periods.

Gambling is not a way to make money. The house always has a statistical edge. Every rupee you wager should be money you are comfortable losing. Never gamble to recover previous losses — chasing losses is the single most dangerous pattern in problem gambling.

com789 Player Protection Tools

Five self-service controls available to every registered player — accessible from your account settings at any time

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you are comfortable depositing per day, per week, or per month. Once set, limits cannot be increased for 24 hours — giving you a built-in cooling-off period before any upward change takes effect. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately.

Instant Setup
Session Time Limits

Choose a maximum session duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom value you set yourself. When the limit is reached, you receive a prompt to review your activity and can choose to continue or log out. The reminder cannot be silenced permanently without adjusting the setting.

Customisable
Reality Checks

Enable on-screen notifications that appear at regular intervals during active play, displaying your elapsed session time and net win/loss figure for the current session. Reality checks are designed to interrupt automatic play patterns and prompt you to make a conscious decision about continuing.

In-Play Alerts
Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gambling without committing to a full self-exclusion. Cooling-off periods run from 24 hours up to 30 days. During the cooling-off period your account is suspended for betting and casino purposes but your funds remain safe and accessible for withdrawal.

24h to 30 Days
Self-Exclusion

Request a formal self-exclusion for a fixed period (3 months, 6 months, or 12 months) or permanently. Self-exclusion is processed within 24 hours of request and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period — this is intentional, to protect you from impulsive decisions to return during a vulnerable moment.

Up to Permanent
Dedicated Support Line

com789's support team includes trained responsible gambling advisors who handle sensitive conversations in complete confidence, in both English and Urdu. Available 24/7 via live chat within your account. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out — early conversations are always better than late ones.

Our Core Responsible Gaming Principles

The values that underpin every player protection decision com789 makes

Strict Age Verification

The 21+ age restriction at com789 is enforced through mandatory CNIC verification — not a self-declaration checkbox. Every account must pass identity verification before withdrawals are enabled. There are no exceptions and no workarounds.

Loss Limit Awareness

com789 proactively monitors account activity for patterns associated with at-risk gambling behaviour. Players whose activity triggers internal responsible gaming thresholds may receive a welfare check from the support team or be prompted to review their limits.

Transparent Odds & RTP

com789 publishes Return to Player (RTP) percentages for all casino games. Every player has the right to know the mathematical house edge of the game they are playing. Transparency about odds is a core part of responsible gaming — it allows players to make genuinely informed choices.

Quick Self-Assessment

These questions are not a clinical diagnostic tool — they are a prompt for honest personal reflection. If you answer "yes" to two or more of them, we strongly encourage you to use the com789 self-exclusion or cooling-off tools today.

Ask Yourself Honestly

No score is recorded. No account action is taken. This is for your own reflection only.

Q01

Have you ever spent more money gambling on com789 — or any other platform — than you originally planned when you started that session?

Q02

Have you ever returned to gambling the next day specifically to try and win back money you lost the day before?

Q03

Have you ever borrowed money from family, friends, or a lender to fund your gambling activity?

Q04

Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you were not able to gamble, or when you tried to cut down?

Q05

Have you hidden your gambling activity from your spouse, parents, or close friends because you knew they would disapprove of the amount you were spending?

Q06

Has gambling ever negatively affected your work, studies, family responsibilities, or a significant relationship in your life?

Two or more "yes" answers is a clear signal to pause. Use the self-exclusion feature in your com789 account right now — before your next session begins.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

Requesting self-exclusion from com789 takes less than two minutes. Here is exactly how to do it.

  • 1
    Log In to Your com789 Account

    Access the platform via com789.net and log in with your registered credentials. Self-exclusion tools are available immediately after login — no waiting period or approval process is required to access them.

  • 2
    Navigate to Account Settings

    Click on your account icon in the top corner of the platform and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown. Then navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" tab, which is clearly labelled and easy to find.

  • 3
    Select Self-Exclusion Period

    Choose from a cooling-off period (24 hours to 30 days), a fixed self-exclusion (3, 6, or 12 months), or a permanent self-exclusion. There is no minimum — even a 24-hour break is a meaningful step. Choose what feels right for your situation.

  • 4
    Confirm Your Request

    Confirm your choice. For periods of 3 months or longer, a short verification step is included to ensure the request is intentional. Your account will be suspended within 24 hours of confirmation and you will receive an email acknowledgement.

  • 5
    Your Funds Remain Safe

    Self-exclusion suspends your ability to bet and play casino games but does not forfeit your Real Money Balance. You can withdraw your available balance at any time during the exclusion period by contacting the support team.

Cannot access your account? Contact com789 support directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and your registered mobile number. We will process it within 24 hours, no login required.

Guidelines for Healthy Gambling

Responsible gaming is not about stopping people from enjoying cricket betting or casino games at com789. It is about helping players keep that enjoyment sustainable over the long term. The following guidelines are suggestions from com789's player protection team — practical habits that the platform's most consistent, satisfied players already follow.

  • Set a session budget before you start — decide in advance how much you are comfortable losing and treat it as entertainment spend, not an investment.
  • Use deposit limits proactively — set them before you feel like you need them, not after a bad session when emotions are running high.
  • Never gamble while emotionally distressed — after a difficult day at work, after an argument, or when feeling anxious is exactly when decision-making is most impaired.
  • Balance gambling with other activities — cricket, family time, exercise, socialising. com789 is one form of entertainment among many, not a substitute for them.
  • Accept losses as part of the game — every Pakistani cricketer knows that losing a match is part of the sport. The same applies to betting: losses are expected outcomes, not emergencies.
  • Take regular breaks during sessions — even a five-minute break between matches or game sessions helps maintain perspective and reduces the risk of impulsive decisions.
  • Keep gambling money separate — never use money earmarked for rent, utilities, children's education, or household expenses for gambling. Ever.

Protecting Young People

com789 takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. The 21+ age restriction is non-negotiable and is enforced through CNIC-based verification — not self-declaration. However, the Company also encourages adults to take additional steps at home to prevent underage access.

Secure Your Devices

Use device passcodes, biometric locks, and parental control software to prevent children from accessing gambling-related websites. Never leave your com789 account logged in on a shared device. Log out completely after every session on devices accessible to others in your household.

Talk to Your Children About Gambling

Open conversation about the realities of gambling — including the mathematical likelihood of losses — is the most effective prevention tool. Children who understand that gambling is designed to make money for the operator, not the player, are less susceptible to the glamour that can make it seem appealing.

Report Suspected Minor Access

If you believe a person under 21 has registered or is using a com789 account — whether your own child or anyone else — contact the support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate urgently and take all appropriate action within 24 hours.
