Gambling is entertainment — not a source of income, not a way to manage debt, and never more important than your financial wellbeing or relationships. This page explains the tools 87club provides to help you stay in control, recognise warning signs early, and access help if you need it. We ask every player to read it before playing.
18+ Only — Adults-Only Platform"87club treats responsible gambling as a design requirement, not a legal footnote. Every account on this platform has access to limits, reminders and self-exclusion tools before a problem develops — not only after."
Responsible gambling means keeping gambling in its proper place — as a leisure activity that you choose to engage in with money you can afford to lose, time you have set aside for it, and a clear understanding that the outcome is uncertain. It is the opposite of chasing losses, borrowing to play, or allowing gambling to compete with essential expenses like rent, food or family commitments.
For Pakistani players on 87club, responsible gambling also means understanding the legal context. Pakistan restricts gambling under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. The legal status of online gambling depends on applicable federal and provincial law. 87club does not claim to be licensed by any Pakistani authority, and participating in online gambling may carry legal risk depending on your specific location and circumstances. This is not legal advice; we strongly recommend seeking qualified local legal counsel if you are uncertain about your position.
Beyond the legal dimension, responsible gambling on 87club means using the account tools available to you — deposit limits, loss limits, session timers and self-exclusion — as genuine guardrails rather than ignoring them. These tools are in your account settings right now, and they take effect immediately when you set or tighten them.
📚 Remember
The house always has a mathematical edge over time. No betting system, strategy or sequence of wins changes this. Budget what you are prepared to spend on entertainment, treat any win as a bonus, and never exceed your pre-set budget regardless of how the session is going.
Your gambling budget comes from discretionary income — not savings, not credit, not money earmarked for bills or family expenses.
I decide how long I will play and how much I will spend before I open the platform — and I stick to those limits regardless of results.
If I have reached my loss limit, I log off. I do not try to win back what I have lost in the same session or the next day.
I have other hobbies, social connections and leisure activities. Gambling is not the primary way I socialise or spend free time.
I understand that gambling does not reliably generate income and I do not depend on winnings to cover regular expenses.
Every one of these tools is available in your account settings right now. You do not need to contact support to set them — although support can assist if you prefer. Use them before you need them.
Set a maximum amount you are allowed to deposit into your account per day, per week, or per calendar month. If you try to deposit more than your set limit, the transaction will be declined until the limit period resets.
Immediate effect: Limit reductions take effect immediately. Limit increases require a waiting period before they activate — protecting you from impulsive decisions.
Available in Account SettingsDefine the maximum net loss you are prepared to accept within a 24-hour, 7-day or 30-day period. When your cumulative net losses reach the threshold you set, your ability to place further wagers is suspended until the limit period expires.
Tip for Pakistani players: Setting a loss limit in PKR before every session is one of the most effective single habits for preventing gambling from affecting your finances.
Available in Account SettingsConfigure on-screen alerts that appear after you have been playing for a set duration — for example, after 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. Each alert displays how long you have been playing and your net session result so you can make an informed decision about whether to continue.
Time passes quickly during an engaging session. Session reminders are a practical way to maintain awareness without relying on external prompts.
Available in Account SettingsPeriodic prompts that pause your session to display a summary of your current session — total time played, total wagered, net win or loss. You confirm that you have seen the summary before play can continue. Reality checks are distinct from session reminders and operate at shorter intervals.
Available in Account SettingsRequest a temporary break from the platform ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in to your account, place bets or make deposits. All marketing communications are suspended. The cool-off period cannot be shortened once set.
A cool-off period is appropriate when you feel your gambling is becoming more frequent than you intended, or when life circumstances make it a sensible precaution.
Account Settings or Contact SupportSelf-exclusion is a formal, irrevocable account restriction for a minimum period of 6 months, extendable to permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account is closed, all marketing contact stops, and the exclusion cannot be reversed for its full duration regardless of any subsequent request.
Use this if: you believe you have a gambling problem and want a hard, time-locked barrier between you and the platform. It is the strongest tool available and should be used without hesitation if needed.
Contact Support to ActivateHonest self-assessment is the first step in responsible gambling. Use this framework to gauge your current relationship with gambling on 87club.
Signs you are gambling responsibly
Early warning signs to act on now
Serious signs — please take action today
⚠ If You Are in the Amber or Red Category
Please use the self-exclusion tool in your account or contact [email protected] to request immediate account suspension. Then reach out to one of the support organisations listed in the Support Resources section on this page. Acting now is far easier than acting later.
The following questions are adapted from widely-used problem gambling screening frameworks. There are no right or wrong answers — the goal is honest reflection. If you find yourself answering yes to more than a few of these, it is worth taking a break and considering professional support.
These questions are particularly relevant if you play during high-stakes cricket events like PSL playoffs or ICC tournaments, when the intensity of the action can make it easy to lose track of time and spending.
👍 Honesty Is a Strength
Acknowledging that gambling may be becoming a problem is not a weakness. It is the prerequisite to making any positive change. Most people who seek help for problem gambling wish they had done so earlier.
Have you ever gambled more than you intended to in a single session — ignoring the budget you set at the start?
Have you ever gone back to gambling the next day to try to win back money you lost the day before?
Has gambling ever caused you to miss a meal, neglect work responsibilities, or skip a family commitment?
Have you ever borrowed money — from a friend, family member, or financial product — specifically to fund gambling?
Have you ever felt restless, irritable or anxious specifically because you could not gamble when you wanted to?
Have you ever kept your gambling activity hidden from people close to you, or understated how much you have spent?
Have you ever felt that gambling was something you could not reduce or stop, even when you decided you wanted to?
Has gambling ever caused you significant financial stress — difficulty paying regular bills, rent or essential household expenses?
If you answered yes to two or more questions, consider setting tighter limits on your account today, or requesting a cool-off period while you reflect. If you answered yes to four or more, please use the self-exclusion tool and reach out to a support resource listed below.
87club is an adults-only platform. Access is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age, or the higher minimum age required by the Operator's licensing jurisdiction — whichever is greater. Being of minimum age does not make gambling lawful in Pakistan; users are responsible for understanding the laws applicable to them based on their location.
Age verification (KYC) is mandatory before any withdrawal can be processed, and may be triggered at any point during account use. Accounts found to belong to minors are suspended immediately, all balances are frozen pending investigation, and the matter is handled in accordance with the Operator's licensing obligations. In some jurisdictions, the Operator is required to report underage access to relevant authorities.
We are aware that many Pakistani households share internet-connected devices among family members of different ages. If you share a device with minors, we strongly recommend using parental control software to prevent access to gambling platforms. Popular parental control options include those built into Android and iOS devices as well as third-party applications available through standard app stores.
Minimum age: 18 years, or higher where the operator/licence jurisdiction requires
A valid CNIC or passport is required to verify your age and identity before withdrawals are processed.
Use device-level parental controls if you share a device with minors in your household. Both Android and iOS have built-in options in Settings.
If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on 87club, contact [email protected] immediately with the subject line "Underage Access Report".
Self-exclusion is available to all registered users at any time. The process is straightforward and takes effect immediately once confirmed. If you want to exclude yourself, do not delay — the process takes only a few minutes.
Access your 87club account at https://87club.cam using your registered email and password. If you cannot remember your credentials, use the account recovery option or contact support directly to request exclusion without logging in.
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling. This section contains all available self-management tools including deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders and self-exclusion.
Choose your exclusion duration: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent. Permanent exclusion means your account will never be reopened. All durations are irrevocable — the period cannot be shortened once set, regardless of any subsequent request.
Review the confirmation screen carefully. Once you confirm, self-exclusion is activated immediately. Your account is closed, all marketing communications stop, and you will not be able to create a new account with the same identity details during the exclusion period.
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" from your registered email address. Include your full name and username. Support will process your exclusion manually within 24 hours. You do not need to be logged in to request exclusion by email.
🚫 Self-Exclusion Is Final
Once you have self-excluded, your request cannot be reversed before the end of the exclusion period. Any request to reactivate an excluded account before the period expires will be declined. This is by design — the irrevocability of self-exclusion is what makes it an effective tool.
