Responsible Gaming
at w789Play Safe,

Strictly 21 and Above Only

Access to w789 is strictly limited to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This is a non-negotiable requirement enforced through mandatory identity and age verification on all accounts. If you are under 21, please do not attempt to register or access the w789 platform. We take underage gambling prevention seriously and apply robust verification at every stage of the registration process.

Our Approach

What Responsible Gaming Means at w789

Entertainment First, Always

Gambling at w789 is designed purely as a form of entertainment — like watching a PSL match or playing a mobile game. It is not a way to earn money, solve financial difficulties, or cope with stress. Every feature on the w789 platform, from the way bonuses are presented to the responsible gaming tools built into every account, is designed with that principle front and centre.

The reality is that most people who gamble online do so responsibly — they set a budget for the month, enjoy the games, and move on. But for a small number of players, gambling can become a problem. w789's responsible gaming programme exists specifically to help those players recognise early warning signs and access help before things get serious.

Our Obligations Under Our Gaming License

w789 operates under an international gaming authority license that includes specific, mandatory responsible gaming obligations. These are not optional features we've added voluntarily — they are compliance requirements that w789 must meet and that are audited regularly by our regulator. This means the tools available to you as a w789 user are backed by a genuine regulatory framework, not just marketing language.

Under our gaming license, w789 is required to: provide responsible gaming tools to all users, enforce strict age verification procedures, maintain a self-exclusion register, train our support staff in problem gambling identification, and report certain behaviour patterns to our regulator where required.

The Pakistani Context

w789 is built specifically for Pakistani players. We understand that conversations about gambling and problem gambling can carry a different cultural weight in Pakistan compared to other markets. We're not here to judge — we're here to make sure that anyone who does choose to use the platform has access to the tools and information they need to do so safely. If you or someone in your family has a concern, our 24/7 support team is available in both Urdu and English, no questions asked.

Early Warning Signs to Watch For
  • Spending more time or money gambling than you originally planned
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've lost
  • Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling

If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to use w789's responsible gaming tools or contact our support team immediately. There is no shame in asking for help.

Built-In Protections

w789 Responsible Gaming Tools

Every w789 account comes with six responsible gaming tools built in from day one. No need to request special access — they're all available from your account settings, right now.

💰 Deposits
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you are allowed to deposit into your w789 account per day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the next period. Limits take effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period.

Set via: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits
📉 Losses
Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing within a set period. When your net loss across all w789 games reaches this threshold, further wagering is paused for the remainder of the period. This tool is especially useful for players who find it difficult to stop when losing.

Set via: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits
⏱️ Sessions
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session on w789. When your session timer expires, you'll receive a clear notification and the option to log out. This helps prevent the "just a few more minutes" pattern that leads to extended unplanned sessions, particularly important during late nights in Lahore or Karachi.

Set via: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Timer
🌡️ Reality
Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost in the current session. Reality checks are designed to interrupt automatic play patterns and give you a moment to make a conscious decision about whether to continue.

Set via: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Reality Checks
❄️ Cooldown
Cooling-Off Period

Request a temporary pause on your w789 account for a defined period between 24 hours and six months. During a cooling-off period, your account remains accessible for withdrawals only — no deposits or wagering are permitted. Cooling-off periods cannot be shortened once activated.

Set via: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Take a Break
🚫 Exclude
Self-Exclusion

Request permanent or extended self-exclusion from the w789 platform. Self-exclusion removes all access to your account — including deposits, wagering, and promotional communications — within 24 hours of the request. This is our strongest protective tool and is intended for players who recognise a serious problem. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen exclusion period ends.

Contact 24/7 support or: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclude

Important: All responsible gaming tool changes that reduce access (e.g., lowering deposit limits, activating cooling-off) take effect immediately. Changes that increase access (e.g., raising deposit limits) are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before they take effect, giving you time to reconsider. This is a requirement under our international gaming license and cannot be overridden.

Self-Assessment

Is Your Gaming Still Under Control?

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more of them, we encourage you to use w789's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools and consider speaking with a professional.

1

Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to get the same level of excitement from gambling?

2

Have you ever gone back to try and win back money you lost — what some people call "chasing losses"?

3

Have you lied to family members, friends, or your spouse about how much time or money you spend gambling?

4

Has gambling caused arguments with people close to you, or has someone expressed concern about your gambling habits?

5

Have you ever skipped work, missed an important commitment, or neglected a family responsibility because of gambling?

6

Have you borrowed money, taken a loan, or sold something you owned specifically to fund gambling?

7

Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you've started, even when you tell yourself you will?

If You Answered Yes to Two or More Questions

These are recognised indicators of problem gambling behaviour. You are not alone — problem gambling affects people from all walks of life. Please use w789's self-exclusion tool immediately, or contact our 24/7 support team through the platform's live chat. Your welfare is more important to us than your gameplay.

Step-by-Step

How to Self-Exclude from w789

Self-exclusion is available to every w789 user at any time. The process is straightforward and takes less than five minutes. Once activated, your exclusion is processed within 24 hours and cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends — this is by design, to protect you during a vulnerable moment.

Self-exclusion at w789 is confidential. No reasons are required. Your request is handled with full discretion by our responsible gaming team, and no marketing communications will be sent to you during the exclusion period.

1
Log Into Your w789 Account

Access the w789 platform and log in to your account. If you are unable to log in, or prefer to request self-exclusion without logging in, contact our 24/7 live chat support team who will process the request on your behalf after identity verification.

2
Navigate to Account Settings

Go to your account settings by clicking your username in the top right corner of the platform. Select the "Responsible Gaming" section from the account menu.

3
Select "Self-Exclusion" and Choose Your Period

Click on "Self-Exclusion" and select your desired exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. Permanent exclusion means your w789 account will be closed indefinitely with no possibility of reinstatement.

4
Confirm Your Request

Confirm the self-exclusion request. You will receive a confirmation message on screen. Your self-exclusion will be fully active within 24 hours. Any remaining PKR balance in your account will be returned to you via your last used payment method.

5
Seek Additional Support If Needed

Self-exclusion from w789 is an important first step, but professional support can make a significant difference. We encourage all self-excluded players to also speak with a qualified professional or counsellor who can provide ongoing guidance and coping strategies.

Age Verification & Underage Protection

Keeping Minors Safe — w789's Zero-Tolerance Policy

The 21+ age restriction at w789 is absolute. Here's how we enforce it — and how parents can help.

🪪
CNIC Verification

All w789 users must verify their identity via CNIC or passport. Our system checks date of birth against national ID data to confirm the 21+ requirement before any real-money play is permitted.

🔍
Third-Party Age Check

Where required, w789 uses third-party identity verification services to independently confirm user ages. Accounts that cannot be verified are suspended pending completion of the KYC process.

👨‍👩‍👧
Parental Controls

Parents and guardians should install parental control software on family devices to prevent minors from accessing gambling platforms including w789. Device-level controls are the most effective protection available.

🚫
Immediate Account Closure

Any account found to belong to a minor is immediately closed, all winnings forfeited, and deposits returned. There are no exceptions. If you suspect a minor has accessed w789, contact our support team immediately.
