At wc99, responsible gaming is not a legal footnote — it is a core part of how we operate. This page explains the tools available to every registered player, the warning signs of problem gambling and exactly how to get help if you or someone you know needs it.
Online gaming on wc99 is meant to be an enjoyable leisure activity — a way to unwind, try your luck at cricket betting, enjoy the thrill of a crash game or spend an evening at the live roulette table. For the overwhelming majority of wc99's two million-plus players in Pakistan, that is exactly what it remains: entertainment.
But wc99 also knows that for a small number of people, gaming can shift from recreation into something that causes genuine harm — financial stress, relationship problems, loss of sleep or difficulty concentrating at work. Problem gambling does not discriminate by age, income or background. It can happen to anyone who uses an online platform regularly, and it tends to develop gradually in ways that are not always obvious to the person experiencing it.
That is why wc99 has built a full suite of responsible gaming controls directly into the platform, available to every player from their account settings without needing to contact support first. We also actively monitor player behaviour for patterns that suggest a problem is developing and will reach out proactively when we see concerning signs — not to restrict your account arbitrarily, but because we genuinely care about your wellbeing.
wc99's responsible gaming pledge: We will never market aggressively to players who are showing signs of problem gambling. We will always make it easier to set limits than to remove them. And we will always respond to a player in distress with empathy, speed and practical help.
Every tool listed below is available directly from your wc99 account settings. No support ticket, no waiting period for activation — they work the moment you enable them.
Set a maximum deposit amount for any daily, weekly or monthly period. Once your limit is reached, you cannot deposit again until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of a losing session.
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with in a given period. When your losses reach the limit, further betting and gaming is paused for the remainder of that period. This tool is particularly useful for players who find it difficult to stop after a run of bad luck — it removes the decision from the equation entirely.
Set a maximum session length — say, one hour or two hours — and wc99 will automatically end your session when that time is reached, regardless of whether you are mid-game. The timer resets after a minimum break period that you define. This prevents the common experience of sitting down for thirty minutes and looking up to find three hours have passed.
At intervals you define (every 30, 60 or 90 minutes), wc99 displays a pop-up showing your current session duration, net win or loss, and total amount wagered. You then choose to continue or end the session. This brief pause for information interrupts the automatic play patterns that can make it easy to lose track of time and money.
Take a break from wc99 for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, one week or one month — without permanently closing your account. During a time-out your account is fully suspended. You will not receive any promotional communications. Your balance is held securely and available when your time-out period ends.
Permanently exclude yourself from wc99 with immediate effect. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is closed, all marketing communications stop and your balance is returned to your verified payment method within seven business days. This decision cannot be reversed. Self-exclusion is the right choice if you feel that gaming is causing you or your family genuine harm.
Open wc99.im on your phone or browser and log in with your registered mobile number and password. All responsible gaming tools are in your account — nothing to download separately.
Tap your account icon at the top right, then select Settings from the dropdown. On the settings page, look for the Responsible Gaming section — it is clearly labelled and visible without scrolling.
Select the tool you want — deposit limit, loss limit, session timer, reality check or self-exclusion. Enter your preferred value and time period. The interface walks you through each option with a brief explanation of how it works.
After confirming your choice, the limit is active instantly. You will receive an SMS confirmation to your registered mobile number. Protective measures like reductions and self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the active period — this is by design.
Problem gambling tends to develop gradually. The earlier these signs are recognised, the easier it is to address. Be honest with yourself when reading through this list — and remember that acknowledging a problem is the first and hardest step.
If you recognise three or more of these signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion or time-out tools available in your wc99 account settings immediately. You can also contact wc99 support via live chat — our team is trained to handle these conversations with full confidentiality and no judgement.
Answer these five questions honestly. This is not a diagnostic tool but a prompt for honest reflection about your gaming habits on wc99 or any platform.
1. In the past month, have you spent more on gaming than you originally intended?
2. Have you ever chased losses — depositing more after losing to try to win it back?
3. Has gaming affected your sleep, work or relationships in the past month?
4. Do you ever use gaming as a way to deal with stress, boredom or difficult feelings?
5. Have you ever hidden or downplayed your gaming activity from family or friends?
The vast majority of wc99 players in Pakistan never experience any problem with their gaming. Here are the habits that keep it that way — straightforward guidance that any player can follow regardless of their experience level.
Decide before opening wc99 how much you are comfortable spending that session. Use the deposit limit tool to make that decision automatic rather than relying on willpower in the moment.
Money deposited on wc99 is entertainment spending, like a cinema ticket or a restaurant meal. If you win, great — but approach each session expecting to spend the amount you deposited, not to profit from it.
Extended gaming sessions without breaks are where most problems develop. Use the wc99 session timer or reality check feature to build natural pause points into your play. Get up, have a glass of water, do something else for ten minutes.
Anger, sadness, anxiety or financial worry are the wrong emotional states for gaming. Decisions made in these states tend to be impulsive and regrettable. wc99 will always be there when you are feeling calmer.
Gaming should be one of many things you enjoy, not the primary one. If you find yourself turning down other plans in order to play on wc99, that is a sign worth paying attention to.
wc99 requires CNIC verification before processing any withdrawal. This mandatory process verifies the age of every player before they can access their winnings. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 is immediately closed and all deposits are refunded.
If you share a device with younger family members, please do not save your wc99 login credentials on shared devices. Consider using device-level parental controls to restrict access to gaming sites during hours when children use the device. If you suspect a minor has accessed wc99 using your account, contact support immediately.
Enable the two-factor authentication option in your wc99 account settings to ensure that even if someone knows your password, they cannot log in without your mobile OTP. Never share your credentials or OTP codes with anyone — including anyone claiming to be wc99 staff.
Talking to teenagers in your household about responsible gaming and the age restrictions on platforms like wc99 is one of the most effective protective measures available. Understanding why these rules exist makes them more likely to respect them.
Every wc99 player in Pakistan has access to the full suite of responsible gaming tools from day one. Register or log in to set your limits and play with confidence.
