Responsible Gaming
at aq789 — We Play It Safe
At aq789, we believe that great entertainment and player safety go hand in hand. Whether you're placing cricket bets during PSL season or spinning reels on your favourite slot, our responsible gaming framework ensures the experience stays fun, fair, and firmly in your control. This page explains our tools, commitments, and the support available to every player across Pakistan — available around the clock.
How aq789 Protects Every Player
Responsible gaming is not an afterthought at aq789 — it's built into every layer of the Platform. From account registration in Karachi to a late-night cricket bet in Lahore, these are the core protections that apply to all players.
Strict 21+ Age Policy
aq789 is an adults-only platform. All players must be aged 21 years or above to register and play. Every account goes through a mandatory age verification process before real-money games can be accessed. We take this seriously — no exceptions.
KYC Identity Verification
Our Know Your Customer (KYC) process cross-checks your CNIC and identity documents to confirm age and identity. This step is mandatory and protects both you and the wider player community from fraud, impersonation, and underage access.
Self-Exclusion Programme
If you feel your gambling is becoming a concern, aq789 gives you the power to self-exclude. Choose a cooling-off period or request a permanent self-exclusion. During any self-exclusion, all marketing communications are suspended immediately and account access is blocked.
Deposit Limit Controls
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your aq789 account dashboard. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased until a mandatory cooling-off period has elapsed — giving you real, enforceable protection against overspending in PKR.
Session Time Reminders
aq789 lets you set session time reminders so you're always aware of how long you've been playing. When your chosen session limit is reached, you receive a clear notification prompting you to take a break — because playing with a clear head is always the right call.
Reality Checks
Reality checks are periodic pop-up reminders that display your net gaming activity for the current session — how much time has passed, your total bets, and your net position. These moments of transparency help keep perspective and prevent loss-chasing behaviour.
How to Self-Exclude on aq789
Taking a break is one of the most powerful responsible gaming decisions you can make. aq789 makes the self-exclusion process straightforward so there are no barriers when you need help most. Here's how it works for Pakistani players.
Immediate Effect: Self-exclusion requests on aq789 take effect within minutes. All marketing emails and SMS messages are also suspended as soon as the request is processed.
Permanent Option Available: If you choose permanent self-exclusion, aq789 will not re-open your account regardless of any future request to do so. This is intentional — and it's there to protect you.
Log In to Your aq789 Account
Access your aq789 account at aq789.org using your registered Pakistani mobile number or email address and password. Make sure you're on a secure, private connection.
Navigate to Responsible Gaming Settings
Go to your account dashboard and select "Responsible Gaming" from the account settings menu. All responsible gaming tools — including deposit limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion — are grouped here.
Choose Your Exclusion Period
Select a cooling-off period (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months) or choose permanent self-exclusion. Read the terms of each option carefully before confirming your choice.
Confirm Your Request
Confirm the exclusion by completing the on-screen verification step. Your account will be suspended within minutes and a confirmation will be sent to your registered email address.
Need Help? Contact Support
If you encounter any difficulty with the self-exclusion process, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat inside your account or email [email protected]. Our team will action the exclusion immediately on your behalf.
Age Restriction Strictly Enforced
aq789 is an adults-only platform. Players must be aged 21 years or above to register a real-money account. This policy is non-negotiable and is enforced at registration and through ongoing KYC review.
Parents and guardians in Pakistan are encouraged to use parental control software to restrict access to online gaming platforms on shared family devices. If you suspect a minor has accessed aq789, contact our support team immediately at [email protected] — we will act at once.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling is meant to be entertaining. But for some players, it can become a problem. aq789 encourages every player in Pakistan to be honest with themselves about the following warning signs. If several of these apply to you, please reach out for support.
Spending more money or time gambling than you originally planned or can afford.
Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money already lost.
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting household expenses (rent, bills, groceries) to fund gambling.
Gambling causing conflict with family members or friends — particularly common in close-knit Pakistani households where finances are shared.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling, or using gambling to escape from personal stress or problems.
Lying to loved ones about the extent of your gambling activity or the amounts of money involved.
You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling affects people across all backgrounds. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. aq789's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you access the right tools.
Quick Self-Check Questionnaire
Answer these questions honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to three or more, we strongly recommend activating aq789's responsible gaming tools or speaking to our support team today.
Have you ever gambled more than you planned to in a single session, even after telling yourself you'd stop at a certain amount?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day — planning your next session, calculating how much you could win, or replaying past losses?
Have you ever felt the need to increase the size of your bets to get the same level of excitement you used to feel with smaller amounts?
Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling, but found it difficult or impossible to do so despite wanting to?
Has gambling ever negatively impacted your work, studies, relationships, or financial responsibilities in Pakistan?
Do you gamble when feeling stressed, depressed, or anxious — using it as a way to escape from difficult emotions or situations?
After losing money, do you feel a strong urge to return immediately to win it back rather than accepting the loss and moving on?
This self-assessment is for personal guidance only and is not a clinical diagnosis. If you are concerned about your gambling habits, please use aq789's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team via live chat in your account dashboard.
Your aq789 Responsible Gaming Toolkit
All of the following tools are available free of charge inside your aq789 account dashboard. They are designed to keep you in control at all times — no questions asked, no waiting periods to activate.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month in PKR. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.
Loss Limits
Cap the maximum amount you can lose within any given time window. When your loss limit is reached, further betting is automatically paused for the remainder of that period.
Wager Limits
Control the total value of bets you can place within a set period. Wager limits are separate from deposit limits and offer an additional layer of spending control across all games.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration after which you will be automatically logged out. You will also receive reminder notifications as you approach your chosen session time limit.
Cool-Off Periods
Take a temporary break from aq789 with a cool-off period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a cool-off, your account is inaccessible but your balance and data are preserved.
Self-Exclusion
Request a long-term or permanent self-exclusion from aq789. Your account will be closed, marketing suspended, and all access blocked. This is the strongest tool available and takes effect immediately.
