are999 believes gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress, debt, or harm. This page explains the tools, resources, and commitments are999 has put in place to help every Pakistani player stay in control.
These are not policies we wrote because we had to — they are standards we hold ourselves to because we genuinely care about the players on our platform
are999 is available to adults only. We verify age at registration and may request documentary proof at any time. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 is closed immediately and all funds handled according to regulatory requirements.
Every are999 player can set their own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately and cannot be increased until the cooling-off period has passed. Decreasing your limit takes effect at once.
Players who need a break can request self-exclusion for a defined period — or permanently. During exclusion, your are999 account is suspended and marketing communications are stopped. We take self-exclusion requests very seriously.
are999 sends session time notifications after extended periods of play. These reminders are designed to help players stay aware of how long they have been playing — an important part of keeping gaming in healthy perspective.
Players can activate reality check alerts that display a summary of their gaming session — including time spent and net result. This feature encourages players to pause, reflect, and make informed decisions about continuing to play.
are999's customer support team is trained to recognise the signs of problem gambling and to handle sensitive conversations with care and respect. If you reach out to us about a gaming concern, you will be treated with dignity — no judgement.
are999 – responsible gaming tools available to every Pakistani player, every day
This short assessment is not a clinical test — it is simply a way to help you think honestly about your relationship with gaming. Answer each question as truthfully as you can. There are no right or wrong answers, only honest ones.
Do you sometimes gamble more money than you originally planned to spend?
Have you ever felt the urge to "win back" money you have lost by playing more?
Have you missed time with family or friends because of gaming or betting?
Do you feel irritable or restless when you are not able to gamble?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold something in order to fund gambling?
Responsible gaming is not about not playing — it is about playing in a way that stays enjoyable and within your means. Here are the characteristics of a healthy approach to gaming on are999:
If several of the items above do not describe your experience with gaming, that is not a reason for shame — it is a signal worth taking seriously. are999's responsible gaming tools and support team are here to help.
All of these tools are free, easy to use, and available to every registered are999 player — request them from our support team or through your account settings
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your are999 account per day, per week, or per month. Once you hit your limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately. Increasing it requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period — a built-in safeguard that prevents impulsive decisions.
In addition to deposit limits, are999 allows players to set a maximum loss amount per day, week, or month. When your net losses reach this threshold, you will be prevented from placing further bets for the remainder of the period. This tool is particularly useful for keeping gaming firmly within budget.
Need a short break from are999? A time-out suspends your account for a period you choose — 24 hours, one week, or one month. During the time-out you cannot log in, deposit, or play. When the period ends, your account is automatically reinstated. No need to contact support for standard time-out durations.
Self-exclusion is a more serious step for players who feel they need a significant break. You can exclude yourself from are999 for six months, one year, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, all promotional communications are stopped, and the exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen end date — even if you request it.
Set a reality check interval — for example, every 30 minutes or every 60 minutes — and are999 will display a notification summarising your current session: how long you have been playing, how much you have deposited in this session, and your net result. You can then choose to continue or stop.
Every are999 player can access their full account history — all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and game sessions — at any time. Reviewing your history is a powerful way to stay honest about your gaming patterns and identify if behaviour is changing in a way that concerns you.
To activate any of these tools on your are999 account, contact our support team at support@are999.app or use the live chat available seven days a week. We will set up your chosen tool immediately — no delays, no questions about why you are asking.
are999 – responsible gaming is built into every part of the platform, not added as an afterthought
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Knowing the warning signs is the first step to addressing it. Click each sign to learn more.
Setting up any responsible gaming tool takes just a few minutes. Here is exactly how to do it:
Visit are999.app on your phone or desktop and log in with your registered mobile number and password. If you have forgotten your password, use the reset option on the login page.
Some tools are available directly in your account settings section. For self-exclusion and loss limits, contact our support team via live chat or by emailing support@are999.app — we process all responsible gaming requests immediately.
Tell us which tool you want to activate and the parameters — for example, a daily deposit limit of Rs 2,000, or a self-exclusion for six months. We will confirm the settings before activating them.
Once confirmed, the tool takes effect immediately (for limits) or within a few minutes (for self-exclusion). You will receive a confirmation via your registered contact details so you have a record of the arrangement.
Check your limits periodically and adjust if your circumstances change. Remember: you can lower limits instantly, but increasing them requires a cooling-off period. This is by design — to protect you from impulsive decisions in the heat of the moment.
are999 – enjoy cricket betting safely with responsible gaming tools built into every account
are999 was built for Pakistani players, and that means building a platform that reflects the values and realities of Pakistani families and communities. For many Pakistani households, gambling — even casual gaming — carries real social and financial weight. We take that seriously. The responsible gaming framework at are999 is not a set of policies bolted on for appearances. It is built into how we operate.
Pakistan has a large and growing population of online gaming enthusiasts. Cricket betting, in particular, has become a huge part of how fans engage with their favourite sport — especially during the PSL season. are999 wants to be the platform that serves those fans well — but responsibly. That means making sure that the excitement of betting on Lahore Qalandars versus Karachi Kings never tips over into financial harm for any player's family.
Problem gambling is a real condition. It affects a small minority of people who play, but when it does, the impact can be severe. Financial stress, strained relationships, anxiety, and depression are all documented consequences of gambling that has gone out of control. are999 accepts responsibility for its part in preventing this. We monitor account behaviour, we provide tools, we train our support staff, and we make it easy — never difficult — for any player to limit or stop their gaming activity at any time.
One principle we hold to at are999 is that responsible gaming tools should never be buried or hard to find. Every player should be able to set a deposit limit in under two minutes. Every player who wants to self-exclude should be able to do so without long delays or persuasive conversations trying to change their mind. When a player says they need a break, we give them a break — no arguments.
We also recognise that in Pakistan, problem gambling may not always be discussed openly within families or communities. There can be stigma attached to admitting that a hobby has become a problem. are999's support team is trained to handle these conversations with sensitivity and without judgement. You do not need to explain yourself or justify why you are asking for a limit or an exclusion. We process the request, we respect your decision, and we maintain confidentiality.
Finally — and most importantly — are999 wants every player to remember that the games on our platform are designed to be entertaining. The house does have an edge. The PSL team you bet on will sometimes lose. The jackpot slot will pay out far less often than it does not. These are features of gaming, not flaws — but they do mean that gambling should never be approached as a reliable way to make money. Play for the fun of it, within a budget you are comfortable with, and gaming on are999 can genuinely be an enjoyable part of your leisure time. That is what we want for every player on our platform.
Need support right now? Contact are999 support at support@are999.app or via live chat. We will set up your chosen responsible gaming tool immediately. 18+ only. Gaming should always be within your means.
Small habits that make a big difference to how you experience gaming on are999
Decide before you open the app how much you are prepared to spend. Treat that amount like an entertainment budget — the cost of a night out. Once it is gone, your session ends. Use are999's deposit limit to make this automatic.
Set a time limit before you start — 30 minutes, one hour — and stick to it regardless of whether you are winning or losing. Use are999's session reminder feature to get an alert when your time is up.
One of the hardest things to do in gaming is to stop when you are up. Set a "win target" and withdraw when you reach it. Pocketing your profits feels much better than giving them back in a session that goes on too long.
Gambling when you are stressed, upset, or trying to escape a difficult situation almost always makes things worse — financially and emotionally. If you are having a tough day, skip the session and come back when you are in a better headspace.
are999 is Pakistan's most complete gaming platform — PSL cricket, live casino, jackpot slots, Teen Patti, football betting and fishing games, all in PKR. And behind every game is a full set of responsible gaming tools that put you in control. Join free today, set your limits, and enjoy gaming the right way.
