Gambling is entertainment — it should never be a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. 98pkr provides a full suite of tools and information to help Pakistani players stay in control of their gaming activity.
18+ is a hard rule at 98pkr. No exceptions. | Self-exclusion available 24/7
Every 98pkr account comes with these built-in tools. Access them anytime from your account settings — no waiting, no questions asked.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your 98pkr account to control how much PKR you add to your balance within any given period. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and can only be increased after a 7-day cooling period.
Set a maximum session duration for your 98pkr play time. When your chosen limit is reached, you'll receive a reminder notification. This helps you keep track of how long you've been playing — a simple but effective reality check.
Take a short break from 98pkr without fully closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period your account is suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications from us.
Request a full self-exclusion from the 98pkr platform for a defined period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion is processed immediately. Any remaining verified real-money balance is returned to your registered payment method.
Define a maximum net loss amount you are comfortable with over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once the limit is reached, further play will be restricted for the remainder of that period — helping you avoid chasing losses.
Enable regular on-screen reality check prompts showing your current session duration and net win/loss. These short interruptions break the flow of extended play and give you a clear view of your current position before you decide to continue or stop.
When you register a 98pkr account, you confirm that you are 18 or older. Before your first withdrawal is processed, you are required to complete KYC verification — this includes submitting a copy of your CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card), which confirms your identity and date of birth.
If at any point we have reasonable grounds to suspect that an account holder is under 18, the account is suspended immediately, all betting activity is voided, and any deposited funds are returned per applicable procedures. We do not process winnings on accounts found to have been registered by a minor.
If you are a parent or guardian and suspect that someone under 18 in your household has accessed the 98pkr platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay. We also strongly recommend using parental control software on shared devices — tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in Android/iOS parental controls are available to restrict access to gambling websites.
Self-exclusion takes effect immediately. Here's how to activate it on your account:
Access your account via the 98pkr Login page. Use your registered Pakistani mobile number and password.
From your account dashboard, go to Settings → Responsible Gaming. All limit and exclusion tools are in this section.
Choose your exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.
Confirm via SMS OTP. Your account is suspended immediately. You will be removed from all 98pkr marketing lists.
Any verified real-money balance is refunded to your registered JazzCash or Easypaisa number within standard processing time.
If you are unable to access your account and need emergency self-exclusion, contact [email protected] with your registered mobile number and we will process it manually without delay.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. These are the warning signs that suggest gambling may have stopped being entertainment and become a problem:
Placing larger bets to try to recover money you have already lost is one of the clearest signs of problem gambling behaviour. At 98pkr, loss limits are specifically designed to interrupt this pattern.
Spending more time gambling than you intended — skipping meals, sleep, or other obligations — is a warning sign that gambling has moved beyond recreational use.
Using rent money, grocery money, or borrowing from family in Lahore or Karachi to fund gambling sessions is a serious red flag that requires immediate action.
If your mood or emotional state is heavily influenced by wins and losses — feeling anxious when not gambling, or irritable when trying to stop — this suggests a dependency has formed.
Concealing the extent of your gambling from family members or close friends is a common behaviour associated with problem gambling.
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to two or more, we strongly recommend using our self-exclusion or cooling-off tools, or seeking support.

Responsible gambling is about making sure that when you sit down to bet on a PSL match at 98pkr or spin a few rounds of your favourite slot, it remains an enjoyable, controlled experience. Here are practical guidelines that all 98pkr players are encouraged to follow:
Set a budget before you start. Decide in advance how much PKR you are comfortable spending in a session — and treat it as an entertainment expense, no different from buying a cinema ticket or eating out. Use the 98pkr deposit limit tool to enforce that budget automatically rather than relying solely on willpower.
Never gamble to make money. The house edge in casino games and the margin built into sports betting odds means that, over the long run, the expected outcome for any player is a net loss. 98pkr games are designed as entertainment. If you ever catch yourself thinking of gambling as a primary income source or a way to solve financial problems, that is a clear signal to step back.
Do not gamble when you are distressed. Gambling under emotional pressure — after a difficult day at work in Islamabad, following a family dispute, or when anxious about finances — dramatically increases the risk of making poor decisions and developing unhealthy patterns. If you are not in a calm, balanced state of mind, it is better to wait.
Take regular breaks. Use the 98pkr session time reminder feature to prompt yourself to stop, stand up, and evaluate your position before continuing. Continuous, uninterrupted play without breaks is associated with higher risk of problem gambling behaviour.
Balance gambling with other activities. If your social calendar in Lahore, Karachi, or wherever you live starts being dominated by online gambling at the expense of other hobbies, social activities, exercise, or family time, it is time to reassess your balance.
Keep gambling and alcohol separate. Making gambling decisions while under the influence of alcohol significantly impairs judgement and risk assessment. 98pkr strongly advises against combining alcohol consumption with real-money gaming sessions.
