Betting and gaming are meant to be entertainment. This page gives you straightforward guidance on how to keep it that way — with the tools 99sb provides and honest advice on managing your time and money.
There is a genuine difference between enjoying a PSL match bet during the cricket season and feeling like you need to place one. The first is entertainment — something you choose to do because it makes following the game more engaging. The second is when things start going in the wrong direction, and it is important to recognise that difference early rather than late.
99sb is built for adults who want to enjoy online sports betting, slots and casino games as leisure activity. Every feature on the platform — from the PKR wallet to the live in-play cricket markets and the slot library — is designed with that purpose in mind. We want players to have a genuinely good experience, which means we also have a responsibility to support those who feel their gambling is getting away from them.
This page is not a legal disclaimer. It is a practical guide. It covers the specific tools available inside your 99sb account to set limits on deposits, control your session time and take a break when you need one. It also covers the warning signs that suggest gambling has shifted from entertainment to a problem, and what practical steps you can take if that happens.
If you have already decided you need to take a break, go to your account settings — the self-exclusion option is there, it works immediately and it cannot be overridden by support until the period you selected has passed. You do not need to explain yourself or go through a lengthy process.
99sb is strictly 18+ only. If you are under 18, please close this tab. If you know someone under 18 who is accessing the platform, contact support and the account will be closed immediately.
Key reminder: Winnings are a bonus, not a plan. Set your PKR budget before you start, and treat it as fixed — regardless of whether you are winning or losing during the session.
These controls are built into the platform. You can access and activate all of them from your account settings without contacting support.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are possible until the period resets. Lowering a limit takes immediate effect; increasing it has a mandatory waiting period.
Set a timer that alerts you when you have been logged in for a defined period — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or a custom duration. The reminder appears on screen and gives you the option to continue or log out.
Take a short break from betting without fully excluding your account. Cooling-off periods range from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this period you cannot log in or place bets. The period cannot be shortened once activated.
A longer-term break of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or indefinitely. Self-exclusion is immediate and permanent for the selected period — it cannot be reversed by contacting support mid-period. All ongoing activity stops.
View a full breakdown of your bets placed, amounts wagered in PKR, session durations and net result over any date range. Reviewing your actual history is often more useful than estimating it from memory.
Opt out of promotional emails, push notifications and offers at any time from your settings. You will still receive essential account communications such as deposit confirmations and security alerts.
Limits and exclusions are self-managed. You do not need to call anyone or justify your decision. Log in, go to account settings and the controls are right there. If you have trouble finding them, live chat support will navigate you to the right section.
The most practical thing you can do before placing any bet — whether it is on a PSL match, a T20 international or a slot game — is decide the exact PKR amount you are comfortable spending in that session. Not roughly. Not "around" a number. An exact figure.
That figure should come from your discretionary spending — money you have after essential costs like food, rent, utilities, phone credit and transport are covered. It should never come from savings, borrowing, your salary before bills are paid, or from any source of money that is already committed to something else.
Once you have that figure, use the deposit limit feature to lock it in before you start. That way, even if you get caught up in a PSL run-chase or a slot session that feels like it is close to a bonus, the platform itself will not let you deposit more than your pre-session decision allowed.
| Budget Principle | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Use disposable income only | Betting with money you cannot afford to lose creates financial pressure that makes bad decisions more likely |
| Decide before you open the app | In-session decisions are influenced by recent results; pre-session decisions are more rational |
| Treat losses as the session cost | Like a cinema ticket — spent when the session ends, regardless of the outcome |
| Do not chase to recover | Chasing losses is the single most common cause of gambling budgets spiralling out of control |
| Record your actual results monthly | Memory distorts results; looking at your actual history via account activity is more accurate |
You bet within a pre-set PKR budget. You stop when the budget is spent. You enjoy watching cricket or slots without needing to bet every time. A losing session does not affect your mood for the rest of the day.
You find yourself extending your budget "just this once" more than once a month. You check live cricket odds more often than you enjoy the actual match. You feel restless when you are not betting during a big PSL game.
Chasing losses across multiple sessions. Borrowing money to fund deposits. Hiding your gambling activity from family. Feeling unable to stop even when you want to. Gambling affecting sleep, work or relationships.
If you recognise two or more of the serious warning signs above, please activate self-exclusion from your account settings and give yourself a proper break. You are not obligated to continue — the platform will still be here when you are ready, but only if and when you feel in control again.
These are not just tick-box policies — they are actual features built into the platform and the way our team operates.
Age verification is mandatory before the first withdrawal. We reserve the right to request CNIC or passport at any point. Accounts confirmed to belong to users under 18 are closed immediately and any balance forfeited.
Deposit limits are set and lowered instantly. There is no delay in applying a tighter limit — if you decide to cap your daily PKR deposits, that cap applies from the moment you save the setting, not the next day.
Self-exclusion is not a form you submit and wait for. It applies instantly when you activate it. Our support team cannot reverse it during the active period — that is by design, not a limitation.
Your full betting and gaming history in PKR is visible from your account. Total deposited, total bet, net result — over any date range. Seeing actual numbers rather than rough estimates is one of the most useful reality checks available.
If you cannot find a control, are having trouble activating it, or just want to talk through your options, live chat support is available around the clock. You do not need to be in a crisis to reach out — a quick chat is enough.
If you would prefer not to receive bonus offers and promotional messages, switch them off in your communication preferences. This is a genuine opt-out, not a reduction in frequency — turning it off stops promotional content completely.
These are not clinical diagnostic questions. They are practical prompts that help you assess whether your relationship with gambling is where you want it to be.
Cricket is Pakistan's sport. When PSL is running or when Pakistan plays a T20 series, the temptation to have a stake on every match is real. Here are some habits that help keep betting enjoyable rather than stressful.
Most responsible gaming problems are not dramatic events — they are patterns of small decisions. Recognising which small decisions are moving in the wrong direction is usually enough to correct course early.
Whether you are here for PSL cricket, slots or live casino, the experience is better when you are genuinely in control of it. Register, set your deposit limit and play the way you planned.
18+ only. Gambling is for adults and should be kept as entertainment. If you need a break, self-exclusion is available immediately in your account settings.
