Responsible Gaming Framework

Play Smart.
Stay in Control.

At 98pk, responsible gaming is not a box to tick — it is a commitment built into every feature of our platform. We provide Pakistani players with the tools, information, and support to keep gaming fun, safe, and within personal limits.

Strictly 21 and Above — No Exceptions

98pk enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all account registrations. Every new user undergoes CNIC-based KYC identity verification to confirm their age before any deposit, game play, or withdrawal is permitted. If at any point we identify that a user is under 21, the account is immediately suspended, all funds are returned to the originating payment method, and all personal data is permanently deleted. This is non-negotiable.

98pk Responsible Gaming Commitments

Six foundational commitments that shape how 98pk protects every player across Pakistan — from Karachi to Islamabad and beyond.

Age Verification

Every 98pk account is gated behind strict CNIC-based identity verification. We confirm your age before you can deposit a single rupee or play a single game. Our 21+ policy is enforced at the system level, not just on paper.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly PKR deposit caps directly from your account dashboard. Limits take effect immediately when lowered and follow a mandatory cooling-off period if you attempt to raise them — protecting you from impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

Define how long you want to play in a single session. When your chosen time is up, 98pk will alert you with a reality check notification. You can also set mandatory break intervals to keep your gaming sessions balanced and healthy.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break — whether for a week, a month, or permanently — 98pk's self-exclusion tool lets you lock your account immediately. During exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit, or receive promotional communications from us.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month in PKR. Once your loss limit is reached, your account is automatically restricted from further play until the limit period resets. A powerful tool for maintaining financial discipline.

24/7 Support Access

Our responsible gaming team is accessible around the clock via live chat inside your 98pk account. Whether you have a concern, need to set a limit urgently, or want to discuss your play patterns, help is always one click away — in English and Urdu.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gambling is meant to be an entertaining pastime — not a source of stress, debt, or conflict. Being honest with yourself about your habits is the first and most important step. 98pk encourages all Pakistani players to regularly check in with these warning signs.

If You Recognise These Signs

Identifying problem gambling behaviour early makes it significantly easier to address. Please use the self-exclusion or limit tools in your 98pk account right away, and consider reaching out to a professional support organisation.

Spending more money on gambling than you can comfortably afford to lose
Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back what you have already lost
Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or family expenses
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not able to gamble
Lying to family members in Lahore, Karachi, or elsewhere about your gambling habits
Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities to spend more time gambling
Borrowing money or taking loans specifically to fund gambling activity
Feeling that gambling is the only way to cope with stress, boredom, or difficult emotions
Repeatedly failing to cut down or stop gambling despite wanting to
Spending increasingly longer sessions on casino games or cricket betting

Take a Break — On Your Terms

98pk's self-exclusion tool is one of the most important responsible gaming features we offer. If you feel that your gambling is getting out of hand, or simply want a enforced break, you can lock your account for any of the following periods. The exclusion takes effect immediately — no waiting period, no override.

During self-exclusion, 98pk will: block all access to your account and game lobby; suspend all pending bonus offers and promotional emails; reject any re-registration attempts using the same CNIC; and hold your balance securely until your exclusion period ends or, in the case of permanent exclusion, return funds to your nominated JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank account.

24 hrs Cool-down break
1 Week Short-term break
1 Month Medium break
3 Months Extended break
6 Months Long-term break
Forever Permanent closure

To activate self-exclusion, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming, or contact our support team via live chat.

Full Transparency

Are You Gambling Responsibly?

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to use our self-exclusion tool or speak to a support advisor right away.

1
Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for essential expenses like rent, utility bills, or groceries?
2
Do you find yourself placing larger and larger bets to feel the same level of excitement as before?
3
Have you tried to stop or cut down on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to follow through?
4
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious on days when you are not able to access 98pk or place a bet?
5
Have you borrowed money from family, friends, or a lender to fund your gambling or to cover losses?
6
Has gambling ever caused a serious argument, conflict, or concern within your family or close relationships?
7
Do you spend a significant amount of time thinking about gambling, planning your next session, or reliving past wins or losses?
Your Wellbeing Comes First

If any of these questions resonated with you, please reach out. Contact our 24/7 responsible gaming support team via live chat in your 98pk account, or email us at [email protected]. We are here to help, not to judge.

How 98pk Builds Responsibility Into the Platform

Responsible gaming at 98pk is not an afterthought — it is a design principle woven into every layer of the product. From the moment you register your account in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, or anywhere else across Pakistan, our systems are actively working to keep your gaming experience healthy and sustainable.

Mandatory KYC Before Play

Unlike some platforms that allow play before identity verification, 98pk requires KYC completion before any deposit or game session is permitted. We verify your full legal name, CNIC number, and date of birth against official records. This confirms you are 21 or older and ensures your account is protected against unauthorised use.

Trained Support Team

Every member of the 98pk support team receives specific training in responsible gaming procedures. When a player reaches out with concerns about their gambling habits, our team follows a structured protocol — offering information about available tools, activating limits on request, and escalating to senior responsible gaming staff where necessary. Support is available in English and Urdu, so language is never a barrier.

Proactive Monitoring

98pk's platform systems monitor for behavioural patterns that may indicate a player is experiencing difficulties — such as dramatically increased session lengths, large and rapid deposit sequences, or unusual activity patterns compared to the player's own history. When such patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team may proactively reach out to check in, remind players of available tools, or in serious cases apply a temporary restriction pending contact from the player.

No Predatory Marketing

98pk does not send targeted bonus offers designed to entice players who have recently self-excluded, closed their accounts, or explicitly requested no marketing contact. Once a self-exclusion is active, all promotional communications are halted immediately. We believe responsible marketing is a core component of responsible gaming.

Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun

Millions of Pakistani cricket fans and casino enthusiasts enjoy online gaming as a legitimate form of entertainment every week. Here are practical guidelines to make sure it stays that way for you.

  • Set a budget before you play. Decide in advance how much PKR you are comfortable spending and treat it like the cost of any other entertainment — a cinema ticket, a dinner out. Once that budget is gone, log off.
  • Never chase losses. If you are on a losing run, the statistically correct decision is always to stop — not to increase your stakes to recover. Every game outcome is independent; past losses do not create future wins.
  • Take regular breaks. Use the reality check tool in your 98pk account. Step away from the screen, especially during long PSL cricket betting sessions or extended slot play.
  • Keep gambling separate from finances. Use a dedicated JazzCash or EasyPaisa wallet for your 98pk account, funded only with your entertainment budget. Do not link your primary HBL or Meezan Bank account directly.
  • Do not gamble under stress. Gambling while emotionally distressed, tired, or under financial pressure significantly increases the risk of problem gambling behaviour. Log off and come back when you are in a better headspace.
  • Keep it social — but private. Enjoy cricket betting discussions and game results with friends, but never feel pressured to bet more because others around you are doing so. Your limits are yours alone.
  • Balance gaming with other activities. 98pk is one entertainment option among many. Maintain a healthy balance with sport, family time, outdoor activities, and social interactions beyond the platform.
