Gaming should be entertainment – not a source of stress, debt, or personal harm. 98pkr provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools to keep Pakistani players in control of their time and money.
What responsible gaming means at 98pkr – and why it matters.
98pkr is an online gaming and sports betting platform designed for Pakistani players who want to enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and slots as a form of leisure. Like any form of entertainment – whether it's watching a PSL match at a café in Lahore or playing at a DHA recreational club in Karachi – gaming is most enjoyable when it stays within a budget, a time limit, and a mindset of fun rather than financial expectation.
98pkr's responsible gaming framework is not a legal boilerplate. It is a practical set of tools and policies that we apply consistently to every account on the Platform. Whether you're a casual weekend player or a regular cricket bettor in Islamabad, the same protections are available to you – and they're accessible directly from your account dashboard, not buried in a help section that nobody reads.
This page explains what responsible gaming means at 98pkr, the tools available to help you stay in control, how to recognise the signs of problem gambling, and what to do if you or someone you know in Pakistan needs support. Please read it carefully before you deposit.
I am 18 years of age or older and have a valid CNIC.
I am gaming with money I can afford to lose – not bill money, rent, or borrowed PKR.
I have set a deposit limit in my 98pkr account settings before making my first deposit.
I understand that gaming outcomes are random – no strategy guarantees a win.
I know how to activate the self-exclusion tool in my 98pkr account if I need a break.
Online gaming is permitted under the laws applicable in my location within Pakistan.
If you cannot honestly check all of the above, please do not deposit until you can.
Six account-level tools, all free, all available to every registered 98pkr player.
Set a maximum PKR deposit amount per day, week, or month directly from your account settings. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately. Increases to an existing limit require a mandatory 24-hour cooling period before activation.
Cap the total amount you can lose over a set period. When the limit is reached, 98pkr will prevent further wagering until the period resets. This is the most effective single tool for preventing large unexpected losses in a short session.
Set a session duration reminder. When you've been playing for your chosen length of time, 98pkr will display an on-screen alert prompting you to review your session. Available in 30, 60, 90, and 120-minute intervals.
Temporarily suspend your 98pkr account for a chosen period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account balance is preserved and accessible when the period ends.
Close your 98pkr account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Self-exclusion takes effect within minutes of submission. During this period, any attempt to register a new account on 98pkr will be blocked. This is the strongest tool available.
Every deposit, withdrawal, bet, and session is logged and available in your account history. Download a full activity statement in your account settings to review your PKR spending patterns over any period.
Step-by-step guide to activating limits on your 98pkr account.
Visit 98pkr and sign in using your registered Pakistani mobile number and password. Verify the OTP sent to your SIM.
Tap the account icon (top right on mobile). Select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
The Responsible Gaming section is listed prominently in Account Settings. Tap to open it.
Select from Deposit Limit, Loss Limit, Session Reminder, Cool-Off, or Self-Exclusion. Enter the relevant PKR amount or time period and confirm.
For self-exclusion and cool-off requests, an OTP is sent to your registered mobile number to confirm the action. This prevents accidental activation.
Warning signs that gaming may have become harmful.
Problem gambling affects a small percentage of people who gamble regularly, but the impact on those individuals – and their families across Pakistan – can be severe. The following are recognised warning signs. If you recognise several of these in your own behaviour, please use the self-exclusion tool immediately and seek support.
Use the Self-Exclusion tool in your 98pkr account settings right now. You can also contact 98pkr support at [email protected] to request immediate account closure. Our support team is trained to handle these requests without judgment.
Age verification is mandatory. There are no exceptions.
Every 98pkr account requires CNIC document upload before the first withdrawal. Date of birth is cross-checked. Accounts belonging to under-18s are immediately suspended.
Pakistani mobile SIMs (Jazz, Telenor, Zong, Ufone, Warid) are registered against CNIC. OTP verification to the registered SIM provides an additional layer of age-linked identity confirmation.
Once an account is closed for age policy violation, the associated CNIC, mobile number, and device fingerprint are flagged. Attempts to re-register are automatically blocked.
Parents and guardians in Pakistan should activate device-level parental controls on shared Android or iOS phones. Block 98pkr.asia in your router's content filter if minors share your home network.
Pakistani law and 98pkr policy both prohibit gambling by persons under 18. Any individual found to be under 18 will have their account closed immediately, any PKR balance forfeited per our Terms and Conditions, and the matter may be referred to the relevant authorities.
Where to turn if gaming has become a problem for you or someone you know.
Our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you need to self-exclude, set an emergency deposit limit, or discuss a gambling-related concern, contact us via live chat on the Platform or by email. We respond to responsible gaming requests as the highest priority in our support queue.

If you believe you or a family member in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or anywhere in Pakistan is struggling with problem gambling or related financial stress, seeking professional counselling is a meaningful first step. Mental health professionals and addiction counsellors practising in Pakistan's major cities can provide confidential support.
You are not alone. Getting help early makes a real difference.
Financial hardship note for Pakistani players: If gaming losses have created financial stress – including difficulty paying bills, JazzCash account overdrafts, or family financial strain – please close your 98pkr account immediately via self-exclusion and speak to a financial counsellor. 98pkr is a leisure platform, not a source of income. The platform has no mechanism to recover past losses through continued play, and no strategy changes this mathematical reality.
Quick answers to what Pakistani players ask most often.
Set your deposit limit before your first bet. Enjoy cricket betting, slots, and live casino as entertainment – not as a financial strategy.
