Account & Registration

5 questions

Visit 88star.cam and click the registration button to begin. You will be asked to provide your full name, date of birth, email address and a secure password. Once your basic details are submitted, an email verification link will be sent to confirm your address. After email confirmation, you can log in and begin exploring the platform — though full functionality, including withdrawals, requires completing KYC identity verification.

Pakistani users are typically required to submit a valid Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) or a valid Pakistani passport. A clear, legible scan or photograph of the document is required — blurry, cropped or expired documents will not be accepted. In some cases, proof of address or additional documentation may be requested. Always submit KYC documents only through 88star's secure HTTPS verification portal, never through unsecured channels.

No. Each individual may hold only one registered account on 88star. Duplicate accounts — whether registered under the same name, identity document, IP address, device, household or payment method — are strictly prohibited under our Terms and Conditions. If you discover you have inadvertently created more than one account, contact our support team immediately. Holding multiple accounts may result in account suspension and forfeiture of any bonus balances.

The minimum age to register on 88star is 18 years, or the higher minimum required by the operator's license jurisdiction — whichever is greater. Age is verified as part of the mandatory KYC process. Accounts found to have been opened by individuals below the minimum age threshold will be immediately suspended. Importantly, meeting the 18+ age requirement does not automatically make online gambling lawful in Pakistan — users are responsible for understanding and complying with applicable local laws.

On the 88star login page, click the "Forgot Password?" option and enter the email address associated with your account. A password reset link will be sent to that address — check your spam folder if it does not arrive within a few minutes. Follow the link to set a new password. If you no longer have access to your registered email address, contact our live support team for assistance with account recovery and identity verification.

Deposits & Withdrawals

5 questions
Payment method names mentioned below are familiar references for Pakistani users only. None of the listed providers — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah — endorse, support or are affiliated with 88star or any gambling activity.

The payment methods available to Pakistani users are displayed in the live cashier at the time of transaction and may include mobile wallet options familiar in Pakistan — such as Easypaisa, JazzCash and Raast — as well as bank transfers through institutions including HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah. Cryptocurrency options (such as BTC and USDT) may also be available. Always check the cashier for the current list, as available methods can change. None of these payment providers endorse gambling.

Minimum deposit thresholds vary by payment method and are confirmed in the live cashier before you complete a transaction. As an illustrative reference, minimum deposits may start from around PKR 1,000, but the cashier is always the authoritative source for current limits. Maximum single-transaction limits also vary by method. If you have questions about a specific payment method's limits, our live support team can help before you initiate a transaction.

Withdrawal processing times depend on the payment method selected and whether your KYC verification is complete. Internal review by 88star is typically completed within 24 to 48 hours of a valid withdrawal request. After that, the time for funds to reach your account depends on the payment provider — mobile wallets such as Easypaisa and JazzCash are often faster, while bank transfers to HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah may take longer. 88star cannot guarantee specific provider-side processing timeframes.

Withdrawals must be made to a payment method registered in your own name that matches your KYC-verified identity. As a general rule, 88star applies a deposit-method-first policy — meaning withdrawals are directed back to the same method used for your most recent deposit, where technically possible. If you need to withdraw via a different method, contact our support team before submitting the request. Third-party withdrawals — to accounts in someone else's name — are not permitted.

Withdrawals may be held for review for several reasons: your KYC verification may be incomplete or pending additional documents; an active bonus balance with outstanding wagering requirements may be attached to your account; the withdrawal amount may have triggered enhanced due diligence thresholds; or a routine security check may be underway. If your withdrawal appears delayed, log in to check your account status and notification inbox, or contact our live support team for a specific update.

Games & How to Play

4 questions

Yes. 88star's sportsbook covers cricket markets including Pakistan international fixtures, PSL (Pakistan Super League) matches and ICC tournaments such as the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy. Markets typically include match winner, top batter, total runs, live in-play options and more. Cricket coverage at 88star is provided purely as a sports entertainment betting product. 88star has no affiliation, partnership or commercial relationship with PCB, PSL, ICC or any cricket franchise. Please check the live sportsbook for current market availability.

88star's casino section includes slot games from leading game providers, live casino tables (including live roulette, live blackjack, live baccarat and live game shows), table games in RNG format, and an esports wagering section. Live casino titles stream real dealers in real time, offering an experience closer to a physical casino environment. All casino game outcomes are produced by certified random number generators (RNGs) or live dealer procedures, as applicable. RTP (Return to Player) percentages are displayed in the game information section of each title.

Yes. 88star is designed to be fully mobile-responsive and works across all major smartphones and tablets commonly used in Pakistan, including Android devices and iPhones. The mobile experience covers the full sportsbook, live casino, slots and account management functions. No separate app download is required — simply visit 88star.cam from your mobile browser. If you experience performance issues, try clearing your browser cache or switching to a different browser such as Chrome or Safari.

Live in-play betting allows you to place bets on a sporting event while it is already in progress — for example, betting on a batsman's next runs during a PSL match or the outcome of the next over in a Test match. Odds change in real time as the game unfolds. Markets open and close rapidly during live events. 88star reserves the right to suspend live markets at any time due to data feed interruptions, suspicious activity or other operational reasons. Bets accepted before a market suspension are settled based on the final match result confirmed by the relevant authority.

Bonuses & Promotions

4 questions

A wagering requirement is the number of times a bonus amount must be bet on eligible games before any resulting winnings can be withdrawn as real money. For example, if you receive a PKR 2,000 bonus with a 30× wagering requirement, you must place a total of PKR 60,000 in eligible bets before the bonus funds convert to withdrawable cash. Not all games count equally — slots typically contribute 100% toward the requirement, while live casino or table game contributions may be reduced or zero. Always read the specific offer terms before claiming a bonus.

If you have an active bonus balance with outstanding wagering requirements and you request a withdrawal, the bonus balance will typically be forfeited — meaning you lose the bonus and any winnings derived specifically from bonus funds. Your real-money deposit balance that has not been used as a qualifying deposit for the bonus may still be withdrawable in some circumstances. The exact rules depend on the specific offer terms. You can also manually forfeit a bonus before requesting a withdrawal — contact support if you need guidance on this.

Yes. All bonuses on 88star carry an expiry window stated in the individual offer terms — typically between 7 and 30 days from the date the bonus is credited to your account. If the wagering requirements are not completed before the expiry date, both the bonus balance and any winnings from it are forfeited. Expiry periods are fixed and cannot be extended. Always note the expiry date when claiming an offer and plan your play accordingly. The specific expiry period is always published in the offer-level terms alongside each promotion.

Bonus claims may be declined for several reasons: the qualifying deposit did not meet the minimum threshold stated in the offer (for example, the offer required a minimum PKR 2,000 deposit and a smaller amount was deposited); the promotion was limited to one per household or IP address and the limit had already been reached; your account had an unresolved KYC issue at the time of claiming; or the promotional period had already ended. If you believe your claim was declined in error, contact our support team with the relevant offer details and your account information.

Security & Responsible Gambling

Self-exclusion can be activated by contacting 88star's live support team via live chat or at [email protected] (plain text — not a link). Inform the support agent that you wish to self-exclude and specify your preferred exclusion period — a minimum of 6 months or permanent closure. Self-exclusion takes effect promptly once confirmed. Crucially, self-exclusion cannot be reversed within the chosen period. Your real-money balance will be processed for withdrawal; any active bonus balance will be forfeited. For detailed guidance, read our full Responsible Gambling page.

88star offers daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits as well as loss limits, all configurable from your account's Responsible Gambling settings. You can set these limits in PKR to suit your personal budget. Reductions to existing limits take effect immediately. Increases are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period to prevent impulsive changes during an active session. Session time limits and reality check reminders are also available. These tools are free to use and accessible to all registered users at any time — not just players who have identified a problem.

All data transmitted between your device and 88star is encrypted using TLS/HTTPS protocols. Account passwords are stored as hashed values — never in plain text. KYC documents are submitted through a dedicated secure portal and processed by a licensed verification provider. 88star does not sell personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. For full details on how your data is collected, stored and used, read our Privacy Policy. If you suspect your account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact support immediately and change your password.

Pakistan has gambling restrictions, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. 88star does not claim to be licensed or approved by the Government of Pakistan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the State Bank of Pakistan or any Pakistani provincial authority. Users in Pakistan are solely and independently responsible for understanding and complying with all local laws and regulations that apply to online gambling before accessing this platform. This answer does not constitute legal advice. If you need clarity on your specific legal situation, consult a qualified legal professional.
