Frequently Asked Questions

You must be at least 18 years of age, or the higher minimum age required by the operator's license jurisdiction, to register and use w288. Age verification is mandatory. If a user is found to be under the required age, their account will be immediately suspended, winnings forfeited and deposited funds returned.

No. Each person is permitted to hold only one active w288 account. Creating duplicate or multiple accounts — known as multi-accounting — is a breach of our Terms and Conditions. If detected, all associated accounts will be suspended, bonus funds forfeited and winnings voided. If you have accidentally created a duplicate, contact support immediately so it can be resolved before any automated action is taken.

w288 requires a valid government-issued CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) or passport, and in some cases a proof of address document. You may also be asked to complete a liveness check or submit a selfie alongside your ID. All documents must be genuine and unaltered.

Click the "Forgot Password" link on the login page and enter the email address associated with your w288 account. You will receive a password reset link by email. Follow the instructions in that email to create a new password. If you do not receive the email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. If the issue persists, contact support at [email protected].

w288 is accessible to users across Pakistan — including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar — provided they meet the eligibility criteria. However, the Prevention of Gambling Act 1977 and related local legislation may restrict online gambling in Pakistan. It is your personal responsibility to understand the laws applicable in your location before using the platform.

w288 supports a range of payment options. Familiar Pakistani payment references such as Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah are mentioned as local context only — they do not imply endorsement or support for gambling by any of these institutions. Actual available deposit methods are displayed within your account dashboard and may vary. All deposits must come from a payment source in your own name.

Minimum deposit amounts vary by payment method and are displayed on the deposit page within your w288 account. Amounts are typically shown in PKR. Always check the current minimums in your account before initiating a transaction, as these may be updated periodically. Depositing below the minimum for a given method will result in the transaction being rejected.

Withdrawal processing times vary depending on the payment method used and whether your KYC verification is complete. Most withdrawals are processed within 24–72 hours of approval. Withdrawals may take longer if additional verification documents are required under our AML procedures. You will be notified by email when your withdrawal has been processed and dispatched.

No. Bonus funds are subject to wagering requirements, which must be met in full before any bonus-derived winnings become eligible for withdrawal. The specific wagering requirement for each promotion is stated in its individual bonus terms. Bonus funds themselves are typically non-withdrawable — only winnings generated from staking bonus funds, after the wagering requirement is met, can be cashed out.

Withdrawals may be placed on hold for several reasons: pending KYC document verification, active wagering requirements on bonus funds, a mismatch between your deposit and withdrawal method, or a routine AML review. If your withdrawal is delayed, our support team at [email protected] can provide clarification on the specific reason and the steps needed to resolve it promptly.

w288 covers a wide range of sports, with a strong focus on markets popular in Pakistan. These include Pakistan cricket and ICC tournaments, PSL and T20 internationals, football (both local and international leagues), UFC and boxing, tennis and basketball. Live in-play betting is available on most major events, allowing you to place wagers as the action unfolds in real time.

In-play betting lets you place wagers on a sporting event while it is happening in real time. Odds update continuously as the match progresses. For example, during a PSL T20 match, you can bet on the next wicket, the runs in the next over, or the match winner as the game develops. Bets are accepted instantly at the odds displayed at the moment of confirmation, which fluctuate rapidly during live play.

w288 offers a live casino section and a selection of online casino games. Live dealer games include roulette, baccarat, blackjack and game show formats — streamed in real time with a human dealer. The platform also features a range of slot games and other digital table games. The full game library is accessible after registration and identity verification.

If a match is cancelled, abandoned or if insufficient play occurs to determine an official result under w288's betting rules, the relevant bets are declared void and your stake is returned to your account balance. Sport-specific rules govern the minimum play requirements for settlement. You can review the full betting rules within the relevant sport section of the w288 platform.

Live streaming availability depends on your account status and the specific event. Not all matches are available for streaming due to broadcast rights restrictions. Where streaming is available, it is typically accessible to logged-in users with a funded account or an open bet on the relevant event. Check the live events section of your w288 account for current streaming availability on cricket, PSL, football and other sports.

w288 offers welcome promotions for new users, which may include a matched deposit bonus, free bets, or a combination of both. The specific terms — including the bonus amount, eligible games, wagering requirements and expiry date — are published in the current promotion section of the platform. Always read the individual bonus terms carefully before opting in to any offer, as terms vary and change periodically.

A wagering requirement specifies how many times a bonus amount must be staked on qualifying games or bets before any derived winnings can be withdrawn. For example, a PKR 5,000 bonus with a 10x wagering requirement means you must place a total of PKR 50,000 in qualifying bets before the winnings become withdrawable. Each promotion specifies which games contribute towards the wagering requirement and which are excluded.

Eligibility criteria vary by promotion and are detailed in the individual bonus terms. Common eligibility conditions include being a new or existing verified user, not having previously claimed a specific offer, and making a qualifying deposit within the promotion window. Log in to your w288 account and check the Promotions section to see which offers are currently available to you.

Many w288 sports bonuses and free bets can be used on cricket markets, including PSL matches, T20 internationals and ICC tournaments. However, specific promotions may restrict eligible sports, markets, or minimum odds. Always check the individual promotion terms to confirm whether cricket betting qualifies for the bonus you are using. Bets placed on excluded markets typically do not contribute to wagering requirements.

Breaching bonus terms — for example through multi-accounting, systematic bonus abuse, use of VPNs to circumvent geographic restrictions, or deliberate loss creation — will result in the forfeiture of all bonus funds and associated winnings. Repeated or serious breaches may lead to permanent account suspension. If you are unsure whether a particular betting pattern or strategy is permitted under a promotion's terms, contact support before proceeding.

Deposit and loss limits can be set directly within your w288 account settings under the Responsible Gambling section. You can choose daily, weekly or monthly limits. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour waiting period — this delay is intentional and cannot be bypassed. If you cannot locate the settings, contact our support team at [email protected] for assistance.

To request self-exclusion, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request", including your account details and the duration of exclusion you are requesting. Your account will be fully suspended — no logins, deposits or bets will be possible during the exclusion period. All marketing communications are stopped immediately. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the minimum period expires.
