Gaming should be something you enjoy — not something that stresses you out or puts pressure on your finances. This page covers every tool and practice available at o789 to help you stay in control, set healthy limits, and keep playing at a pace that works for you.
18+ only. All games involve financial risk. No wins are guaranteed.
Your Control, Your Call
All of the following tools are free to use and available to every registered player at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit. Once set, a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit is subject to a cooling-off period — so you can't raise it in the heat of the moment.
Set an alert to notify you when you've been playing for a set length of time. It's easy to lose track — especially during live casino sessions or PSL match betting. A reminder puts the choice back in your hands.
Periodic on-screen summaries show you your session time, total bets placed, and net win or loss position. No guessing — you always know exactly where you stand financially before you decide to continue or stop.
Request exclusion from o789 for a defined period — from a short break to a permanent closure. During self-exclusion, your account is inaccessible and you will not receive any promotional communications. This cannot be reversed before the agreed period ends.
In addition to deposit limits, you can set a ceiling on how much you are willing to lose within a given time window. Once the limit is reached, further play that session is restricted until the period resets.
If you decide o789 is not right for you, you can request a permanent closure of your account at any time by contacting support. There is no pressure to return, and your data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Responsible gaming means treating online gaming — whether that's slots, live casino, sports betting, or fish games — as a form of entertainment with a defined budget, rather than a way to make money or solve financial problems. It's not about playing less necessarily; it's about playing in a way that stays enjoyable and doesn't spill over into other areas of your life.
At o789, responsible gaming is built into the platform from the ground up. The tools described on this page aren't hidden in obscure settings menus — they're accessible features that we actively encourage every player to use, regardless of how casually or frequently they play.
The core principles are simple: know your limits before you start, use the tools available to enforce those limits, and stop playing if gaming stops being enjoyable. Gaming at o789 should feel like watching a PSL match or spending time on entertainment you enjoy — not like something you feel compelled to do.
One important thing to remember: no game outcome at o789 is ever guaranteed. Slots, live casino games, and sports bets all carry financial risk. The house edge means that over the long run, the platform will statistically take in more than it pays out. Every session should be approached with the understanding that you may lose the money you deposit.
The single most effective responsible gaming habit is deciding how much money you are comfortable losing before you make your first deposit. Not how much you hope to win — how much you can afford to lose without it affecting your rent, bills, family responsibilities, or savings.
At o789, all transactions happen in PKR. Before you deposit via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, or bank transfer, think about your total monthly entertainment budget and decide what proportion of that can go toward gaming. A reasonable figure is one that, if you lost every rupee of it, would not cause you any practical hardship.
Once you have that figure in mind, use the deposit limit feature in your account to make it a hard cap. You will not be able to exceed it even if you feel tempted to top up mid-session after a losing run. That's the point of the tool — it removes the in-the-moment temptation and replaces it with a decision you made when you were thinking clearly.
Time passes quickly during gaming sessions, especially in live casino where games run continuously, or during in-play sports betting on a cricket or football match. Spending more time than intended is one of the earlier signs that gaming habits may need adjustment.
o789 offers session time reminders that you can configure from your account. Set them to whatever interval feels right for you — every 30 minutes, every hour, every two hours. When the reminder appears, pause for a moment. Check your current win/loss position using the reality check summary, and make a deliberate choice about whether to continue rather than just clicking past it out of habit.
Some practical time management habits that work well alongside the platform tools:
Important: If you find yourself regularly playing for longer than you intended, or struggling to log out even when you planned to, that is worth taking seriously. Use the session reminder or self-exclusion tools, or contact o789 support for guidance.
Problem gambling develops gradually in most cases. The following are common warning signs that gaming habits may be moving from entertainment into something that requires attention. If any of these feel familiar, it is worth pausing and taking the self-assessment below.
Spending more money on gaming than you originally intended, session after session.
Chasing losses — depositing more to try to recover money you've already lost.
Borrowing money, using bill money, or neglecting financial responsibilities to fund gaming.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not playing — or when trying to cut down.
Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
Gaming to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or difficult feelings rather than for fun.
Missing work, social events, or family commitments because of time spent gaming.
Feeling that you need to win back losses before you can stop for the day.
Recognising one or more of these patterns doesn't automatically mean you have a serious problem — but it is a signal worth paying attention to. The right time to use the self-exclusion or account closure tool is when you notice these patterns, not after they've become entrenched.
The following questions can help you get a clearer picture of your current gaming habits. Read each one honestly — this is for your benefit only, and no one else will see your responses.
Have you ever deposited more money than you planned to in a single session?
Have you ever played longer than you intended to, even after deciding to stop?
Have you ever used money set aside for other purposes (bills, groceries, savings) to fund your gaming?
Have you ever felt that you needed to win back money you had lost before you could stop playing?
Has gaming ever caused arguments with family members or friends?
Do you ever think about gaming when you're doing other things, or find yourself looking for opportunities to play?
Have you ever tried to cut down on gaming and found it difficult?
Do you ever feel guilty, ashamed, or stressed about your gaming activity?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to use the deposit limit or self-exclusion tools in your account settings. If you answered "yes" to four or more, please consider contacting our support team to discuss a cooling-off period or permanent self-exclusion. Taking action early is always easier than waiting.
o789 is strictly an adults-only platform. You must be 18 years of age or older to register and play. We verify age during registration and reserve the right to request additional proof at any point. Any account found to belong to someone under 18 will be closed immediately.
If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend taking the following precautions:
If you believe a minor has accessed or registered an o789 account, contact our support team immediately so the account can be investigated and closed.
Simple Habits, Big Difference
Set your PKR limit for the session before you open the deposit screen — not while you're already playing.
Don't rely on willpower alone. A deposit limit in your account settings enforces your budget even when temptation is high.
Depositing more after a losing session to win it back almost always makes the loss larger. Accept the result and come back another day.
Decide in advance what winning amount would make you happy to stop for the day. Logging out on a win feels good and prevents losses that often follow long winning streaks.
A reminder every hour keeps you aware of how long you've been playing and prompts a conscious decision about continuing.
Decisions made when anxious, angry, or low are rarely the best ones. Save gaming for when you're relaxed and in a good headspace.
Stand up, get a glass of water, take 5 minutes away from the screen. It breaks the automatic rhythm that makes extended sessions harder to stop.
Gaming should be one part of a balanced life — alongside cricket, family, friends, work, and other hobbies. If it starts taking over, that's worth noticing.
If gaming is causing stress or financial pressure, talking to someone you trust — or contacting our support team — is always the right move.
A temporary break via self-exclusion is not a failure — it's the responsible gaming tools working exactly as intended. No judgement, no pressure to return.
