At hz88, we genuinely believe that gaming should be fun — full stop. Cricket betting during PSL, spinning slots, and playing live casino games are all meant to be entertainment, not a source of stress or financial pressure. That is why hz88 has built a full suite of responsible gaming tools for Pakistani players, and why we enforce a strict 21+ age policy across every single part of our platform. This page explains everything available to you to keep your hz88 experience positive and in control.
Six dedicated tools available in your hz88 Account Settings right now — at no cost, no delay, and with no questions asked.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the total PKR amount you can deposit to hz88. Decreases take effect immediately. Increases have a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period to protect impulsive decisions.
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with in any given day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is hit, hz88 will automatically block further wagering until the period resets — no override possible.
Set the maximum number of hours you spend on hz88 in one sitting. You will receive a warning when approaching your limit, and hz88 will automatically log you out when the session cap is reached.
Enable on-screen pop-up reminders at 15, 30, or 60 minute intervals during active sessions showing your real-time win/loss balance and time played — a quick honest snapshot to keep perspective.
Take a short break from hz88 for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Once activated, a cool-off period is final for its duration — hz88 will not accept any request to reverse it early, no matter the reason given.
Permanently or indefinitely exclude yourself from hz88 for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or permanently. Once active, hz88 will not reactivate your account during the exclusion period for any reason.

Follow these steps to activate any hz88 responsible gaming tool on your account right now.
Visit hz88.vu and log in using your registered Pakistani mobile number and password. If you are not yet registered, create your account first — all responsible gaming tools are available from the moment your account is live.
Click your avatar icon or username in the top-right corner of the hz88 platform. Select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu that appears.
Inside Account Settings, select the "Responsible Gaming" tab. You will see all available tools: deposit limits, loss limits, session time, reality checks, cool-off, and self-exclusion — all in one place.
Choose the tool you want to activate, enter your preferred limit or duration, and confirm. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Self-exclusion activates within seconds and cannot be undone for the chosen period.
If you are unable to access Account Settings or need urgent help with self-exclusion, contact hz88 support at [email protected] — our team will prioritise responsible gaming requests above all others and respond within 1 hour.
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool hz88 offers. It is designed for players who feel that their gambling is getting out of control and who need a firm, externally enforced break from the platform. Unlike a cool-off period, self-exclusion is specifically intended as a serious, longer-term measure.
When you self-exclude from hz88, the following happens immediately:
Available self-exclusion periods on hz88: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent. For permanent self-exclusion, your hz88 account will be closed entirely and your data handled in accordance with the hz88 Privacy Policy.
Self-exclusion periods cannot be reversed or shortened once activated. After a non-permanent self-exclusion period expires, hz88 will not automatically reactivate your account — you will need to contact support and complete a 7-day cooling-off review before being permitted to resume play.
Self-exclusion on hz88 applies only to your hz88 account at hz88.vu. It does not automatically exclude you from other online gambling sites. If you need broader exclusion, we encourage you to contact other platforms you use directly and request self-exclusion from each of them as well. Seek additional support from specialist organisations if you are struggling with problem gambling.
Be honest with yourself. If several of these apply to you, it may be time to use hz88's responsible gaming tools or seek outside support.
Chasing losses — depositing more to try to win back money you've already lost on hz88 or elsewhere.
Spending more than planned — regularly depositing amounts beyond what you originally intended for that session.
Borrowing money to gamble — using loans, credit, or funds borrowed from family or friends to fund gambling activity.
Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, studies, or family commitments due to gambling on hz88 or other platforms.
Feeling anxious or irritable — experiencing stress, anxiety, or irritability when unable to gamble, or after losing sessions.
Hiding gambling activity — concealing deposits, withdrawal amounts, or time spent on hz88 from family members or close friends.
Gambling to escape problems — using cricket betting or casino games on hz88 as a way to avoid or cope with personal, work, or financial stress.
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, please seriously consider using hz88's self-exclusion tool or reaching out for professional support.
This self-check is for your personal reflection only — no answers are submitted to hz88 or stored anywhere. It is based on standard problem gambling screening criteria used internationally. If your answers concern you, please act now by activating self-exclusion from your hz88 account or contacting our support team.
hz88's responsible gaming programme is built on four core commitments to every Pakistani player on our platform:
hz88 recognises the specific social context of gambling in Pakistan. Many Pakistani players enjoy cricket betting and online casino games as a form of entertainment, particularly during PSL season and major international cricket events. However, hz88 is also mindful that social and financial pressures faced by players in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and across Pakistan can sometimes contribute to unhealthy gambling patterns.
If you are a Pakistani player and gambling is causing stress in your household, affecting your relationships, or leading to financial hardship, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to hz88 support. Our team can activate a self-exclusion on your behalf within minutes, and we will treat your situation with complete confidentiality and respect.
hz88 is committed to being a platform where Pakistani players can enjoy world-class cricket betting and casino entertainment in a safe, controlled, and responsible environment — for the long term.

Simple habits that keep gaming fun and within healthy boundaries — from the hz88 responsible gaming team to our Pakistani players.
Decide exactly how much PKR you are comfortable losing before you open hz88. Treat this as your entertainment budget for the session — just like a cinema ticket or a meal out. Once it is spent, close the app.
After every 30 to 60 minutes of play on hz88, step away from the screen for at least 10 minutes. Enable Reality Checks in Account Settings so hz88 reminds you automatically. Fresh eyes make better decisions.
Think of hz88 cricket betting and casino games as entertainment — not a way to make money. The house has a mathematical edge on every game. Winnings are a bonus, not an expectation. Never rely on gambling as income.
If you have had a losing session on hz88, close the platform and walk away. The temptation to deposit more to "get back to even" is one of the most dangerous patterns in problem gambling. A bad day stays a bad day — do not compound it.
Do not open hz88 when you are feeling stressed, upset, or emotionally charged — whether from work pressures, family matters, or financial worries. Emotional states impair decision-making and lead to riskier betting patterns.
If you feel your gambling on hz88 or elsewhere is becoming a problem, talking to a trusted family member, friend, or colleague is often the first step. You do not have to deal with it alone — and you do not have to wait until it becomes a crisis.
Cricket betting, live casino & 500+ slots — all with full responsible gaming controls built in. Set your limits before your first deposit. 21+ only.
