At 98pkr, we believe that betting and casino gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. Our responsible gaming programme gives every Pakistani player the tools, information, and support needed to keep their gaming experience healthy and enjoyable. From deposit limits and cool-off periods to full self-exclusion, we put the controls firmly in your hands.
98pkr is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for all players across Pakistan. Every tool listed on this page is available to you — free of charge, always.
Every responsible gaming tool at 98pkr is free, always available, and effective immediately upon request. You do not need to explain yourself to use any of these features — they are yours by default.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over any rolling daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately; raising a limit requires a 48-hour cooling period before it becomes active.
Active ImmediatelyCap the maximum amount you can lose in a defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly. When your loss limit is reached, your account will automatically suspend betting activity for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially recommended for players who play regularly on PSL cricket betting or high-frequency slot sessions.
Active ImmediatelySet a maximum session duration for each gaming session. Once your session time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out of your 98pkr account. You can also enable on-screen notifications to remind you of time spent playing at regular intervals — useful for keeping track during live cricket matches or extended slot sessions.
Active ImmediatelyTake a short break from 98pkr by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 72 hours, or up to 30 days. During a cool-off, you cannot log in to your account or place any bets. You will still receive pending withdrawals during this period. Cool-offs are a great first step if you feel your gambling habits are becoming less recreational.
Takes Effect NowIf you feel you need a more serious break, request a formal self-exclusion from 98pkr for a period of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets, and you will be removed from all marketing communications. Contact support at [email protected] to activate.
Takes Effect NowUnsubscribe from all promotional emails, SMS notifications, and bonus offers at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. We will never send you incentive-based communications that could encourage increased betting activity once you have opted out. Your opt-out is processed within 24 hours and honoured across all channels.
Within 24 HoursResponsible gaming starts with honest self-reflection. The questions on the right are not a clinical diagnosis — they are a practical checklist to help you think about your relationship with gambling. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly recommend using one of the 98pkr player protection tools or reaching out to our support team for a confidential conversation.
Consider activating a deposit limit or cool-off period. You can also contact our responsible gaming team at [email protected] for a private, non-judgmental discussion about the options available to you.
Remember: asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 98pkr's support team is trained to handle these conversations with full discretion.
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally planned or could comfortably afford?
Have you ever borrowed money, sold personal belongings, or used funds meant for household expenses in order to fund gambling activity?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day — planning your next session, replaying past bets, or calculating potential winnings?
Have you tried to reduce or stop gambling, but found yourself returning to it despite intending to stop?
Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, financial worries, or negative emotions — rather than purely for entertainment?
Has gambling caused conflict with family members, friends, or your employer — or led you to conceal the extent of your activity from people close to you?
Have you ever chased losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money you have already lost in the same session or on a previous occasion?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious during periods when you are not able to gamble, or when you are trying to cut down?
Problem gambling rarely develops overnight. It typically builds gradually, often disguised as normal recreational behaviour. Knowing the early warning signs — both in yourself and in those around you — is one of the most important things any player can do. 98pkr trains its responsible gaming team to watch for these indicators and intervene proactively where appropriate.
Gradually increasing the size of bets to maintain the same level of excitement — a classic pattern that mirrors tolerance-building seen in other addictive behaviours.
Continuing to bet after a losing session in an attempt to win back lost funds. Chasing is one of the most dangerous gambling patterns and rarely results in recovery of losses.
Hiding gambling activity, lying about the amount of time or money spent, or maintaining a second device or account to keep gambling hidden from family members.
Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, or financial pressure — treating betting as an emotional release valve rather than entertainment.
Missing work, family commitments, or social obligations to gamble — or spending time that would normally be allocated to relationships or professional duties on betting activity.
Using household money, borrowing from friends or family, or taking informal loans to fund gambling deposits via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank transfer.
Pulling away from friends and family, reducing participation in social activities, and spending increasing amounts of time alone — often because time and money are being redirected toward gambling.
Being unable to focus on work, studies, or daily tasks because thoughts are consistently occupied by upcoming betting opportunities, ongoing matches, or past gambling results.
Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools available to players who feel their gambling is becoming problematic. The process at 98pkr is straightforward, immediate, and completely confidential. Follow the steps on the right to activate self-exclusion on your account today.
Visit 98pkr.ws and log in to your player account using your registered email address and password. If you are having difficulty logging in, contact support via live chat immediately and they will assist you directly.
From your account dashboard, click on the account menu icon in the top-right corner and select "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown options. This section contains all available player protection tools.
In the Responsible Gaming panel, select "Self-Exclusion". You will be presented with duration options: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or Permanent. Choose the duration that best reflects your current needs — you can always contact support to extend the period if required.
Review the terms of your self-exclusion and confirm your decision. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address. Your account will be suspended within minutes of confirmation — not hours or days.
If you prefer not to navigate the account settings yourself, you can request self-exclusion directly via live chat or by emailing [email protected]. Our responsible gaming team will process your request immediately, no questions required.
Self-exclusion from 98pkr is an important first step, but professional counselling can provide long-term support. We encourage self-excluded players to consider speaking to a licensed counsellor or therapist who specialises in behavioural addiction, available in major cities across Pakistan including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
Every 98pkr player must be 21 years or older. Age is verified at registration using CNIC and again during the KYC process before any withdrawal is processed. Accounts belonging to minors are permanently closed without exception and relevant data is deleted or reported as required by our licensing authority.
98pkr's responsible gaming team uses automated behavioural monitoring to identify players who may be exhibiting signs of problem gambling — including significantly increased deposit frequency, loss chasing patterns, or rapid escalation of bet sizes. Players flagged by these systems may be contacted by our team proactively.
Our support team includes staff specifically trained in responsible gaming principles. They are equipped to handle sensitive conversations with discretion, assist players with activating any protection tool, and provide referral information for professional gambling counselling services available in Pakistan.
98pkr does not send targeted bonus offers to players who have set deposit limits, are in a cool-off period, or have recently requested responsible gaming tools. We do not use aggressive retention tactics designed to re-engage players who are trying to reduce their gambling activity.
All bonus terms, wagering requirements, withdrawal conditions, and account policies at 98pkr are written in plain English and displayed clearly before any offer is accepted. We never bury conditions in fine print designed to confuse or mislead Pakistani players about what they are agreeing to.
98pkr operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence that mandates responsible gaming compliance. Our licence conditions require us to maintain and enforce all player protection tools described on this page, submit to regular independent audits, and report on responsible gaming outcomes to our licensing authority.
Responsible gaming is not a regulatory checkbox for 98pkr — it is a genuine operational commitment that shapes how we build our platform, train our staff, and design our products. The pledges below represent the minimum standard we hold ourselves to. If we ever fall short, we want to hear about it at [email protected].
We are proud to serve the Pakistani betting community — players from Karachi to Lahore, Faisalabad to Islamabad — and we take that responsibility seriously. Cricket betting, live casino, Dragon Tiger, and slots should always add enjoyment to your life, never detract from it.
98pkr is built for serious Pakistani bettors who want a trustworthy platform. Set your limits, know your boundaries, and enjoy cricket betting, live casino, and slots with full confidence.
