Gaming at 98pkr is meant to be entertaining — a way to enjoy cricket, PSL betting, slots and more in your spare time. This page gives you the tools, the guidance and the honest advice you need to keep it that way.
Our Responsible Gaming Commitments
Six pillars that define how 98pkr supports safer play for every Pakistani player.
98pkr is a platform built for entertainment. Betting on cricket, PSL or playing slots should always feel like a leisure activity — never a financial strategy or a way to recover losses.
We encourage every player to set a personal PKR budget before they start. Only deposit what you can comfortably afford to lose — treat it like the cost of a night out, not an investment.
Keeping track of how long you play matters as much as how much you spend. Set session reminders, take regular breaks, and avoid gaming when you are tired, stressed or distracted.
Players can contact our support team to request deposit limits, session cool-downs or temporary account suspension. These tools are there for you — use them without hesitation.
If you feel you need a proper break from gaming, you can request a self-exclusion period through our support team. During this time your account will be restricted from all activity.
98pkr is strictly for players aged 18 and above. We verify player ages during registration and reserve the right to request proof of age at any point. Minors are never permitted on the platform.
Responsible gaming simply means keeping your gaming habits under your own control — making informed decisions about how much time and money you spend, and recognising when it stops being fun.
At 98pkr, we want every player in Pakistan to enjoy betting on cricket, PSL matches, T20 internationals, slots and fish games as a form of entertainment — something you look forward to in your leisure time, not something that creates stress or financial strain. The platform is designed to be engaging, but we are very clear: the house has an edge on every game, and no betting strategy guarantees profit over the long run.
Responsible gaming is not just about avoiding problems — it is about building positive habits from day one. Whether you are a new player depositing PKR for the first time via JazzCash or a regular who has been betting on cricket for years, the same principles apply: set limits, stay aware, and keep it fun.
Golden rule: Only ever bet with money you can afford to lose. Your rent, bills, savings, and your family's needs always come first — gaming money is what is left over after those are covered.
Problem gambling can creep up gradually. Most people do not notice the shift until habits have already become difficult to manage. Below are some of the most common warning signs that your gaming may be moving from entertainment into something more concerning:
If you recognise two or more of these patterns in yourself, it is a signal worth taking seriously. You do not need to have lost a large amount of money for gaming to be a problem — the emotional and time impact matters just as much.
Noticing these signs does not mean you have failed. It means you are paying attention. The next step is taking action — whether that is setting tighter limits, taking a break, or speaking to someone you trust.
A clear gaming budget is the single most effective responsible gaming tool you can use. Before you deposit on 98pkr, take a few minutes to work through the following:
Look at your monthly income and subtract all essential expenses: rent or mortgage, utility bills, groceries, transport, children's school fees, mobile top-ups, and any regular savings or commitments. What remains is your truly disposable income — money you could spend on leisure without affecting your household.
From that disposable amount, decide what percentage you are comfortable allocating to gaming. A common guideline is no more than 1–5% of your monthly disposable income. For example, if your disposable income is PKR 15,000 per month, your gaming budget might be PKR 500–750.
When you deposit PKR via Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer, think of it the same way you would think about buying a cinema ticket or paying for a cricket match streaming subscription. Once it is spent, it is spent — there is no expectation of getting it back.
If you reach your deposit limit for the session or the month, stop. Do not make an additional deposit to chase losses or to extend a winning streak. Winning streaks end, and the temptation to keep going is where most people overextend.
Budget Health Indicators
Time passes quickly when you are engrossed in a PSL betting session or on a run of good results in slots. Without an active effort to track time, it is easy to spend far longer than you intended. Here are some practical approaches:
Use your phone's alarm or timer app to set a hard stop before you begin a session. When the alarm goes off, close the app or browser — no exceptions.
Rather than gaming every day, decide in advance which days of the week are gaming days. This naturally builds in rest days and keeps it feeling like a treat.
Late-night gaming when you are tired can lead to poor decision-making and larger deposits than you planned. Keep sessions to daytime hours when you are alert and thinking clearly.
If you find yourself opening 98pkr to relieve stress, cope with an argument or avoid a problem, step away. Gaming should add to your mood, not be a crutch when things are difficult.
Every 30–45 minutes, step away from the screen. Get a glass of water, stretch, or step outside. This keeps your thinking fresh and prevents impulsive decisions.
Keep a simple note of dates, session duration and total PKR deposited each month. Seeing it written down gives you an honest view of your gaming habits over time.
98pkr offers account-level controls that players can request via our support team. These tools are designed to help you stay within the boundaries you set for yourself:
To request any of these controls, contact our support team via live chat on the platform. All requests are treated confidentially and actioned without delay.
Answering these questions honestly takes less than two minutes and can give you a clear picture of where your gaming habits currently sit. There is no score — just an honest reflection for you.
If you answered "yes" to three or more of these questions, we encourage you to take a break, set tighter account controls, and speak to someone you trust about how you are feeling. You can also contact our support team to discuss options.
Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools available to players who feel their gaming is becoming difficult to manage. At 98pkr, we take these requests seriously and process them without delay.
When you request self-exclusion, your account is restricted from placing bets, making deposits or accessing promotional offers for the duration you specify. The minimum period is 30 days; there is no maximum. During exclusion, our marketing communications are also suspended so you do not receive promotional messages.
Contact our support team through the live chat feature on the platform. State clearly that you want to self-exclude and specify the period you have in mind. Our team will confirm the exclusion in writing to your registered account. Any PKR balance remaining at the time of exclusion will be processed for withdrawal to your verified payment account.
When your self-exclusion period ends, your account is not automatically reactivated. You will need to contact support and confirm that you wish to resume. We may ask you to review this Responsible Gaming page and confirm that you have a plan in place before access is restored. There is no pressure — if you want to extend the exclusion further, simply tell us.
Requesting self-exclusion is a sign of self-awareness, not weakness. Our team handles all such requests with complete discretion and without judgement.
98pkr is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not permit anyone under the age of 18 to register, deposit or use any part of the platform. During sign-up, players confirm their age and may be asked to provide identity verification.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend:
If you suspect that a minor has accessed your account or created their own account on 98pkr, contact our support team immediately. We will investigate, close any underage account and take appropriate action.
Parents and guardians: If you are concerned about a young person's access to online gaming platforms, keep devices in shared family spaces and have open conversations about the risks of gambling before they reach the age of 18.
If you feel that gaming is affecting your mental health, your finances or your relationships, the most important thing is to talk to someone — whether that is a trusted family member, a friend, or a professional.
98pkr's support team is available around the clock via live chat. We are not mental health professionals, but we can listen, help you set account restrictions, process a self-exclusion request, or simply point you in the right direction. We take every responsible gaming conversation seriously.
Beyond our own team, we encourage players to seek support from qualified counsellors or support organisations if they feel their gaming has become a genuine problem. Speaking to someone who specialises in this area can make a significant difference, and many people find that even a single honest conversation helps them reset their perspective.

Remember: there is no shame in asking for help. The fact that you are reading this page suggests you are already thinking carefully about your gaming — that is exactly the right approach.
