We Take Responsible Play Seriously

q778 is committed to providing a safe, fair and transparent gaming environment for every player across Pakistan — from Karachi and Lahore to Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar. We believe that responsible gambling is not just a regulatory obligation — it is the foundation of a trustworthy platform.

Gambling is a form of entertainment. Like any form of entertainment, it works best when you set clear boundaries and stick to them. q778 provides a full suite of responsible gambling tools that let you define your own limits — on deposits, losses, session time and account access — so you never wager more than you can comfortably afford to lose.

We also recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can stop being fun and start becoming a problem. If that happens, q778 has clear pathways to help — including self-exclusion, cooling-off periods, and connections to recognised responsible gambling support.

Legal Notice: Online gambling may be restricted or prohibited in Pakistan under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 and other applicable laws. q778 does not claim authorisation by the Government of Pakistan, PTA, State Bank of Pakistan or any provincial authority. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their activities comply with local law. This is not legal advice.
18+
Adults Only — No Exceptions

q778 is strictly restricted to users aged 18 and above, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable licensing jurisdiction. Age verification is mandatory at registration and before any withdrawal is processed. We have zero tolerance for underage gambling.

Self-Exclusion Available Immediately

If you feel you need a break, you can request a self-exclusion period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years or a permanent exclusion. During exclusion, your account is suspended and no marketing will be sent. Contact support to activate this immediately.

Limit Tools Built Into Your Account

Deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits and session time limits are available from your account settings. Limits take effect immediately when set and can only be reduced — not increased — without a mandatory cooling-off period.

24/7 Support in English & Urdu

Our customer support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. If you have concerns about your gambling habits or want to activate any protective tool, reach out any time — [email protected].


Six Ways q778 Keeps You Safe

Every tool listed below is available free of charge to all registered q778 players. No waiting period, no fees — just effective safeguards.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your q778 account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. A reduction takes effect immediately; an increase requires a 7-day cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a daily, weekly or monthly window. When your net losses reach this threshold, q778 will automatically suspend further wagering for that period, protecting your bankroll.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so that q778 automatically logs you out after a defined period of play. You will receive a warning alert before your session ends, giving you full visibility of time spent on the platform.

Cooling-Off Period

Not ready for a full exclusion but need a short break? A cooling-off period lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During this period, login and wagering are suspended but your account remains intact.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion suspends your account for a minimum of 6 months up to permanent closure. All marketing is halted, and attempts to re-register during the exclusion period are blocked by our compliance team.

Reality Checks

Enable on-screen reality check pop-ups at regular intervals — every 30, 60 or 90 minutes — to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. A moment of awareness can make a meaningful difference.


Understanding Your Limit Options

The table opposite summarises the protective limits available on q778, their applicable timeframes and how quickly changes take effect. Use this as a quick reference when configuring your account safety settings.

All monetary limits are denominated in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). For example, you might set a daily deposit limit of PKR 2,000 or a weekly loss limit of PKR 10,000, depending on your personal budget and comfort level.

Important: Increasing a limit or removing a restriction always triggers a mandatory waiting period before it becomes active. This built-in delay gives you time to reconsider, which is a core principle of responsible gambling design.

How to Request Self-Exclusion on q778

Requesting a self-exclusion on q778 takes just a few minutes. Once active, it cannot be reversed for the full duration of the exclusion period. Follow these steps:

1
Log in to your q778 account and navigate to Account Settings in the top-right menu.
2
Select "Responsible Gambling" from the settings panel and choose "Self-Exclusion" from the list of tools.
3
Choose your exclusion duration — 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent. Read the terms carefully before confirming.
4
Confirm your request. Your account will be suspended immediately. A confirmation email will be sent to your registered address.
5
Alternatively, contact our support team at [email protected] or via live chat and request exclusion directly — available 24/7 in English and Urdu.
Note: During self-exclusion, all promotional communications are halted. Any pending bonuses are forfeited. Winnings from wagers placed in breach of an active self-exclusion may be voided. Please ensure your remaining balance is withdrawn before requesting exclusion if applicable.

When Gambling Stops Being Fun

Problem gambling can affect anyone. It often develops gradually — a few extra bets here, a slightly larger deposit there — until it begins to affect your finances, relationships and mental wellbeing. Recognising the early warning signs is the first and most important step.

If any of the signs listed here apply to you, or to someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use q778's built-in tools or reach out to a responsible gambling support resource. Help is available, and you are not alone.

This applies to all players — whether you follow Pakistan cricket on PSL and T20 tournaments, enjoy live casino tables or prefer slots. No game type is exempt from the risk of problematic behaviour.

Chasing Losses: Placing more bets to try to recover money you have already lost. This is one of the clearest indicators of problem gambling behaviour.

Gambling Beyond Your Budget: Wagering money set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, utility bills or EMI repayments — including using Easypaisa or JazzCash balances reserved for other needs.

Preoccupation with Gambling: Constantly thinking about your next bet, next deposit or next win — even when you are at work, with family or trying to sleep.

Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing how much time or money you spend gambling from family, friends or colleagues in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or anywhere else.

Inability to Stop: Feeling unable to walk away after a winning streak or after setting a personal budget — continuing to play even when you intended to stop.

Borrowing to Gamble: Seeking loans, using credit cards or borrowing from friends and family specifically to fund gambling activity.

Emotional Distress: Feeling anxious, irritable or depressed when you cannot gamble, or using gambling as a way to escape from stress or personal difficulties.


Four Steps to Safer Play at q778

Responsible gambling starts with small, deliberate actions. Here are four practical steps every q778 player should take before their next session.

01
Set a Budget

Before any session, decide the maximum amount in PKR you are willing to spend — and treat that figure as a firm ceiling, not a suggestion. Use q778's deposit limit tool to enforce it automatically.

02
Set a Time Limit

Decide how long you want to play before you start. Enable session time limits within your account settings so q778 automatically ends your session when the time is up.

03
Never Chase Losses

If you have reached your budget limit for the session, stop. Do not deposit more to try to win back what you lost. Log out, take a break, and return only when your mind is clear.

04
Use Support Early

Do not wait until gambling feels out of control. If you notice any early warning signs, reach out to q778 support or a responsible gambling resource right away — acting early is always easier.


Responsible Gambling FAQ

Quick answers to the questions Pakistani players ask most often about staying safe on q778.

Yes. Deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, session time limits and reality check alerts are all accessible from your Account Settings under the Responsible Gambling section. Changes that reduce a limit take effect immediately. Changes that increase a limit are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period before activation.

Any withdrawable balance remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion can be requested for withdrawal before the exclusion is finalised. Active bonuses are forfeited. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is locked and no new deposits or wagers are accepted for the full exclusion period.

Yes. q778 is strictly restricted to adults aged 18 years and over, or the higher minimum age required by the applicable licensing jurisdiction. Age verification is mandatory at registration and again before any withdrawal is processed. Accounts found to belong to underage users are closed immediately and any funds are returned to the source.

No. Self-exclusion periods cannot be shortened or reversed before the agreed duration has elapsed. This is intentional — the restriction is designed to provide genuine protection during a vulnerable period. Once the exclusion period expires, you may contact support to request reactivation, which involves a further cooling-off review before access is reinstated.

If you believe a family member is gambling beyond their means, please contact our support team at [email protected]. We can provide guidance, and in cases where an account holder consents, we can assist in applying protective measures. We recommend seeking professional support from a recognised counselling resource in your city — whether in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or elsewhere.

No. Once a cooling-off period or self-exclusion is activated, all promotional and marketing communications are suspended for the full duration. This includes bonus emails, SMS notifications and in-app promotional messages. If you receive any marketing communication during an active exclusion, please notify us immediately so we can investigate and correct it.

Responsible Gambling Support

If you feel your gambling has become a problem, independent support is available. Below are some recognised resources that offer confidential guidance.
