Gambling involves financial risk and can become harmful. If gambling is affecting your life, please seek help from a qualified support organisation. This platform is for adults 18+ only.

Player Protection

Responsible Gambling

e789 believes that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — nothing more. This page sets out our commitment to responsible gaming, the tools available to every registered player, guidance on recognising problem gambling behaviour, and how to access support when you need it.

18+
Adults Only

e789 is strictly for adults aged 18 years or older, or the higher minimum age prescribed by the Operator's licensing jurisdiction, whichever is greater. Age verification is mandatory and may be requested at any point during your account's lifetime. Registering or playing on behalf of a minor is prohibited and will result in immediate account closure and forfeiture of all funds.

If you are under the minimum age, please close this website immediately. If you know of a minor attempting to access this platform, contact us at [email protected] without delay.

Our Commitment

At e789, responsible gambling is not a legal formality tacked onto the end of a terms page. It is a core part of how the platform is built and operated. Gambling is entertainment — a way to add excitement to a PSL T20 match, test your strategy on a live dealer table, or enjoy a quick slots session after a long day. It is not a guaranteed income source, a solution to financial problems, or an activity that should ever take priority over the more important things in life.

We operate with the understanding that a small proportion of users may develop problematic gambling behaviour — and that for those users, having the right tools, information and access to help available on the platform matters enormously. Every e789 account comes with a full suite of responsible gambling controls, accessible at any time through the account settings panel, with no support ticket required to activate them.

These tools apply equally whether you are based in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar or anywhere else. They are built into the platform by design — not as optional extras.

Legal Context: e789 does not claim that gambling is legal in Pakistan under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 or any other applicable legislation. Users are solely responsible for understanding their legal obligations before participating. This page does not constitute legal advice.

Player Protection Tools

Every e789 account includes these tools, accessible through your account settings panel at any time. No support ticket is required to activate any of the tools below.

Instantly Active
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, per week or per calendar month. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the next period begins. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Limit increases are subject to a mandatory review period before taking effect, to protect against impulsive decisions.

Instantly Active
Loss Limits

Define the maximum net loss you are willing to accept over a daily, weekly or monthly window. When you reach your loss limit, further play is suspended for the relevant period. This tool is one of the most effective ways to keep gambling within a budget that is right for your financial situation — especially useful when betting on Pakistan cricket or PSL T20 matches that run over multiple sessions.

Instantly Active
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. When your session reaches the configured time, you will receive a prominent reminder and the option to end your session or continue. Combined with reality checks, session limits help prevent the "just one more game" pattern that can lead to longer sessions than intended.

Instantly Active
Reality Checks

Configure on-screen prompts at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 or 60 minutes) that display how long you have been playing and the net result of your session. Reality checks interrupt the flow of play just enough to prompt genuine reflection — without ending the session unless you choose to.

Short-Term Protection
Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from the platform — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, your account remains open but you cannot log in, deposit or wager. This tool is ideal for players who need a short-term pause without committing to a full self-exclusion. A cooling-off cannot be cancelled before it expires.

Long-Term Protection
Self-Exclusion

Permanently or indefinitely exclude yourself from the e789 platform. Self-exclusion closes your account immediately — you will not be able to reopen it for a minimum of 6 months (or longer, as selected). If you self-exclude, you will also be unsubscribed from all marketing communications. Contact support at [email protected] or use the account settings panel to activate.

Limit Change Rules

Minimum self-exclusion period 6 months
Immediate Help: If you need to stop playing right now and none of the above tools feel sufficient, contact our support team directly at [email protected] or via the live chat widget. Tell us you want to self-exclude and it will be processed immediately. Do not wait until tomorrow.
Minors: If you suspect a minor is using your account or has registered their own account on e789, contact support immediately. All funds will be withheld pending investigation, and the account will be closed. This is non-negotiable and not subject to appeal.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. It often develops gradually — starting with entertainment and slowly shifting into something that feels harder to control. Below are common signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. If several of these apply to you, please consider reaching out for support.

Chasing Losses

Increasing your bets or depositing more money after a losing session in an attempt to "win it back." This pattern accelerates losses rather than reversing them.

Hiding or Lying About Gambling

Concealing your gambling activity, betting amounts, or losses from family, friends or colleagues — or lying when asked directly about it.

Gambling With Essential Money

Using funds reserved for rent, food, utility bills or education for gambling. If your PKR balance for necessities is being diverted to the cashier, this is a serious warning sign.

Withdrawal from Social Life

Spending significantly less time with family and friends — whether in Karachi, Lahore, or anywhere else — in favour of gambling, particularly during extended online sessions.

Emotional Dependency

Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression or other negative emotions — using it as a coping mechanism rather than for genuine entertainment.

Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a starting point for personal reflection. If you answer "Yes" or "Sometimes" to several questions, consider speaking with a responsible gambling support service.

1 Have you ever gambled with money that was needed for essential expenses?
Never Sometimes Often
2 Have you tried to stop or cut back on gambling but found it difficult?
Never Sometimes Often
3 Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are doing other things?
Never Sometimes Often
4 Have you borrowed money or sold items to fund gambling?
Never Sometimes Often
5 Has someone close to you expressed concern about your gambling?
Never Sometimes Often
Reflection only: This self-assessment is not a clinical diagnostic tool and does not replace professional evaluation. If your answers concern you, please seek qualified help. e789 can provide self-exclusion immediately — contact [email protected].

How to Activate Your Tools

Support Resources

e789 is not a counselling or clinical support service. If you believe gambling is causing harm to you or someone close to you, please contact a qualified support organisation. The following types of resources are available in the Operator's licensing jurisdiction and internationally:

Types of Support Available
  • Gambling helplines — confidential telephone and online chat services operated by responsible gambling organisations in the Operator's licensing jurisdiction
  • Counselling services — free or subsidised one-on-one counselling from trained advisors specialising in gambling-related harm
  • Peer support groups — structured group meetings (including online groups) such as Gamblers Anonymous, active in multiple countries
  • Financial counselling — support from accredited financial advisors or non-profit debt services where gambling has caused financial hardship
  • Family support programmes — dedicated support for family members and close friends affected by a loved one's gambling behaviour
How to Find the Right Organisation: The appropriate support resource will depend on your location and circumstances. Search for "gambling support" or "problem gambling help" in conjunction with your country or region. In the Operator's licensing jurisdiction, the gaming regulator's website will typically list approved responsible gambling support services. e789 provides this guidance as a signpost only and does not endorse any specific third-party organisation.

Responsible Gambling Principles

Six principles that underpin how e789 approaches responsible gambling — from how tools are designed to how we think about player welfare as part of platform operations.

Built-In, Not Bolted On

Responsible gambling tools are part of the core account architecture — not a secondary page users have to hunt for. Every new account has them enabled and accessible from registration day one.

Strict Age Verification

Age verification is a mandatory element of the KYC process — not a checkbox. Where documentation is required, play may be restricted until verification is complete. There are no exceptions.

Honest Communication

e789 does not market gambling as a way to make money. Promotions describe the entertainment value of the platform — not unlikely financial returns. Odds reflect genuine probability.

Limit Asymmetry by Design

Limit reductions are instant. Limit increases require a cooling period before taking effect. This asymmetry is intentional — it makes it easy to protect yourself and harder to make impulsive decisions in a high-emotion moment.

No Solicitation After Exclusion

Users who self-exclude are immediately removed from marketing lists. You will not receive bonus emails, promotional push notifications or re-engagement campaigns after activating self-exclusion or a cooling-off period.

Clear Documentation

Responsible gambling policies, terms and conditions, and privacy rights are published in plain English — not obscured in complex legal language. Read our Terms and Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Play Responsibly on e789

Gambling is entertainment. Use the tools available to keep it that way. Set your limits, take breaks, and reach out to support whenever you need it — no questions asked.

18+ Adults only. Gambling involves financial risk. Check applicable local laws before participating. This site does not provide legal or financial advice.
