21+ Only Self-Exclusion Available Deposit Limits 24/7 Support Licensed Platform

Strictly 21+ — Age Restriction Policy

pq999 is an adults-only platform. Access to all casino games, sports betting markets, and any wagering activity on pq999.im is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. We have a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. Our KYC verification process is designed to confirm the age and identity of every registered player. If you suspect a minor is attempting to use pq999, please report it immediately to our support team at . We also strongly encourage parents and guardians across Pakistan to use parental control software to restrict access to online gaming sites on shared or family devices.

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Problem

pq999 takes its responsibilities seriously. We are committed to providing a gaming environment that is not only exciting and rewarding, but also safe, transparent, and fair for every player across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and beyond. Responsible gaming is not just a policy for us — it is a core principle embedded into how we build and operate this platform.

We understand that for a small number of players, gambling can shift from a leisure activity into something harder to manage. pq999 has put in place a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools, limits, and resources to help you recognise early warning signs and take action before things become difficult. Our team is available around the clock to provide guidance, apply account restrictions, or assist with a full self-exclusion if needed.

We also align our responsible gaming standards with internationally recognised frameworks and licensing requirements. While pq999 operates under international licensing standards, our responsible gaming commitment goes beyond bare compliance — it reflects a genuine duty of care toward the Pakistani players who trust us with their entertainment.

Our Responsible Gaming Commitments

pq999 has built a full toolkit of safeguards so you always remain in control of your gaming experience — no matter where you are in Pakistan.

Self-Exclusion Programme

Players who feel they need a break can activate a voluntary self-exclusion through their pq999 account or by contacting our support team. Self-exclusion periods range from 30 days to permanent closure. During this period, your account is locked and all marketing communications are suspended immediately.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your pq999 account to keep your spending within a budget you're comfortable with. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and can be increased only after a mandatory cooling-off period — protecting you from impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

Losing track of time during a gaming session is one of the earliest signs of problem gambling. pq999 allows you to set session time limits so you receive automatic reminders and prompts when you've been playing for a defined period, helping you keep sessions healthy and intentional.

Cooling-Off Period

If you want a short pause without committing to full self-exclusion, pq999's cooling-off tool lets you take a break for a defined period — typically 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is temporarily suspended and will automatically reactivate at the end of the period you choose.

Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, pq999 offers loss limits — a cap on the amount you can lose within a defined time period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further bets until the limit resets, giving you a natural stopping point that safeguards your finances.

Reality Checks

pq999's reality check feature sends you periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you've been playing and a summary of your wins and losses during the current session. These prompts are designed to keep you grounded and encourage you to make an informed decision about whether to continue.

How to Use pq999's Player Tools

All responsible gaming tools are accessible directly from your pq999 account settings panel. No lengthy forms, no waiting periods for restrictions to take effect — most controls are applied instantly. Here is a step-by-step overview of how to activate each tool:

Log Into Your pq999 Account

Visit pq999.im and log into your account. Navigate to Account Settings from the top menu or your profile icon.

Go to Responsible Gaming Settings

Inside Account Settings, locate the Responsible Gaming section. All available tools — deposit limits, session limits, loss limits, cooling-off, and self-exclusion — are listed here.

Select and Apply Your Preferred Limit

Choose the tool you want to activate, set your preferred parameters (e.g., daily deposit limit of Rs 5,000), and confirm. Restrictions take effect immediately.

Need Help? Contact Our Team

If you prefer assistance, our 24/7 support team at can apply any restriction or self-exclusion on your behalf — immediately and without question.

Voluntary Self-Exclusion at pq999

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available on pq999. When activated, it permanently or temporarily removes your ability to access your account, place bets, or make deposits. Here is what happens the moment self-exclusion is confirmed:

  • Your pq999 account is immediately suspended and inaccessible.
  • All pending bets are settled normally; remaining balance is refunded to your withdrawal method.
  • All promotional emails, SMS messages, and bonus notifications are stopped at once.
  • Our system flags your account to prevent re-registration attempts during the exclusion period.
  • For permanent self-exclusion, account data is retained per our legal obligations but the account cannot be reactivated.
  • You will be provided with contact details for external support organisations.

Important: pq999 strongly advises players who are self-excluding to also consider enrolling in national or third-party self-exclusion schemes where available in Pakistan. Our support team can provide guidance on additional resources to complement your pq999 self-exclusion.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important step toward seeking help. If any of the following sound familiar, please reach out to pq999 support or a professional organisation.

Gambling with money intended for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling or when trying to stop.
Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you have already lost.
Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling.
Neglecting work, studies, family, or social life because of gambling activity.
Borrowing money, taking loans, or selling belongings to fund gambling sessions.
Feeling unable to stop or reduce gambling despite repeated attempts to do so.
Using gambling as the main way to cope with stress, loneliness, depression, or anxiety.

You are not alone. If you identify with any of the above warning signs, please contact the pq999 responsible gaming team at or activate your self-exclusion immediately via your account settings. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Ask Yourself These Questions

The following questions are based on widely used responsible gaming assessment frameworks. They are intended to help you reflect honestly on your current relationship with gambling. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to contact pq999 support or take advantage of our self-exclusion tools.

Have I ever spent more time or money gambling on pq999 than I originally planned?
Have I gambled to escape personal problems, stress, or difficult emotions?
Have I tried to win back money I lost by placing more bets (chasing losses)?
Have I kept my gambling activity secret from someone close to me?
Have I ever borrowed money specifically to fund a gambling session?
Has my gambling affected my relationships, work, or daily responsibilities?
Have I felt unable to stop gambling even when I wanted to?

If you answered yes to any of the above, it may be time to take a step back. pq999's responsible gaming tools are available 24/7. Contact us at for confidential, non-judgmental support.

Tips for Safer Gaming at pq999

Responsible gambling starts with healthy habits. Here are practical tips every pq999 player should keep in mind.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide in advance how much PKR you are comfortable spending during a session — and stick to it. Treat your gaming budget the same way you would any other leisure expense. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Track Your Time

Set a time limit before each session. Use pq999's built-in session timer or simply set an alarm on your phone. When the time is up, log out — regardless of whether you are on a winning or losing streak.

Play for Fun, Not Profit

Approach casino games and sports betting on pq999 as a form of entertainment, not as a source of income. The house always has an edge over time. Winnings are a bonus — not something to rely on or plan around.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen regularly. Grab a chai, take a walk, spend time with family. Long, unbroken gaming sessions impair judgment and can lead to decisions you wouldn't otherwise make. Breaks keep your perspective clear.

Never Chase Your Losses

One of the most common traps in gambling is chasing losses — placing bigger bets to recover money you've already lost. This rarely works and almost always makes things worse. If you've hit your loss limit, stop and walk away.

Keep Your Account Secure

Never share your pq999 login credentials with anyone — including family members. Keep your account for your use only. This also prevents underage individuals in your household from accessing the platform through your account.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Log into your pq999 account and navigate to Account Settings, then select the Responsible Gaming section. You will find options to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in PKR. Enter your preferred limit and confirm — the limit takes effect immediately. If you wish to reduce your limit, the change happens instantly. If you wish to increase a limit, there is a mandatory waiting period as a safeguard.

A cooling-off period is a temporary suspension of your account for a short defined period — typically 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. At the end of the period, your account automatically reactivates. Self-exclusion is a more serious, longer-term commitment where you voluntarily lock yourself out of pq999 for a minimum of 30 days or permanently. During self-exclusion, all marketing is stopped and the account cannot be reactivated until the exclusion period has fully expired — with additional verification required for temporary exclusions.

For temporary self-exclusion, you may request reactivation after the full exclusion period has passed. There is a mandatory 7-day waiting period after your request before the account is reactivated — this cooling-off ensures the decision is not made impulsively. For permanent self-exclusion, the account cannot be reactivated under any circumstances. If you attempt to create a new pq999 account during any active exclusion period, it will be closed and any deposited funds returned.

pq999 employs a mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process for all accounts. During verification, players must submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as their CNIC — which confirms their full name, date of birth, and identity. Our verification process checks that the player is aged 21 or above before permitting any deposits or wagers. Accounts where age cannot be verified are suspended pending clarification or permanently closed.

If you are concerned about a family member or friend, approach the conversation with empathy and without judgment. Avoid direct confrontations about money or losses, as this can cause the person to become defensive. Encourage them to speak to a professional counsellor. You can also contact pq999 support at if you believe someone is using pq999 irresponsibly — we take such concerns seriously and have dedicated procedures for handling third-party welfare reports.
