98pak — responsible gaming tools built into every account, available to every Pakistani player at no cost.
Betting at 98pak should always be entertainment — something you enjoy alongside cricket, PSL, and sports, not something that creates stress or financial pressure in your life. This page explains the tools we provide, the warning signs to watch for, and how to get help if you or someone you know needs it.
98pak — responsible gaming tools built into every account, available to every Pakistani player at no cost.
Let's be straightforward about something: 98pak is a betting platform, and betting involves real money and real risk. The vast majority of people who play on 98pak — whether they're betting on a Pakistan vs India cricket match, spinning the reels on a slot, or watching the Aviator plane climb — do it for entertainment. They set a budget, enjoy the experience, and walk away without any issue.
But we are not naive about the fact that for a small number of people, gambling can stop being entertainment and start being a problem. When that happens, we want every single 98pak player to have the tools, the knowledge, and the support to recognise what's going on and do something about it — before things get worse.
The responsible gaming tools on 98pak are not ticked checkboxes — they were built by people who understand that a platform's long-term credibility depends entirely on whether its players can trust it to act in their interest, not just its own. Every tool described on this page is free, takes effect immediately when activated, and is available to every registered player regardless of their account status.
The 98pak Responsible Gaming Pledge
Every tool below is built into your 98pak account settings. None require approval. All take immediate effect when activated — except deposit limit increases, which require 24 hours.
Deposit Limits
Daily · Weekly · Monthly
Set a maximum amount you are allowed to deposit into your 98pak account in a given time period. Once set, the limit is enforced automatically — no transaction over your set limit will be processed.
Example: daily limit of Rs 1,000
Session Time Alerts
Custom duration reminders
Set a session duration after which 98pak will display an alert reminding you how long you have been playing. The alert does not force you to stop — but it keeps you aware and in control of your time.
Bet Limits
Per bet maximum
Set a maximum single bet amount on your 98pak account. This applies across all products — sports betting, cricket, crash games, and casino. No single bet will exceed your set limit.
Cool-Off Period
24h · 7d · 30d
Take a break from 98pak without permanently closing your account. During a cool-off period your account is restricted — you cannot deposit, bet, or access games. All marketing stops immediately.
Loss Limits
Daily · Weekly · Monthly
Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period on 98pak. Once your net losses reach the limit, your account is automatically restricted from further betting until the period resets.
Self-Exclusion
6 months · 1 year · Permanent
Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available on 98pak. When you self-exclude, your account is fully blocked for the chosen period or permanently. All marketing ceases and re-registration is blocked.
To activate any of these tools right now, open the live chat on 98pak and tell the support agent which tool you want to activate. For deposit, bet, and loss limits you can also set them directly in your account settings without contacting support.
Play on 98pak for the thrill of cricket and sport — not to chase losses or escape stress.
Most people who use 98pak have a healthy relationship with betting. They know it is a form of entertainment with a cost — like going to a cinema or eating out — and they treat it accordingly. Here is what that looks like in practice:
Before loading up the PSL betting page or starting an Aviator session, a responsible player decides in advance what they are willing to spend — and sticks to it.
Betting always involves the possibility of losing. A healthy player does not chase losses — if a bet goes wrong, they accept it and do not keep gambling in an attempt to win the money back.
Sport, family time, socialising — these remain more important than the 98pak session. Gambling is something you do, not something that defines your day.
You stop because you have decided to — not because you have run out of money or because the platform has stopped you. The decision to finish is always yours.
Tick the statements that apply to your gambling in the last four weeks. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a prompt for honest reflection. The more boxes you tick, the more seriously you should consider using the responsible gaming tools on 98pak or speaking to someone.
Placing more bets specifically to recover previous losses is one of the clearest signs of problematic gambling. Every bet is independent — losses cannot be "won back".
Using betting to deal with stress, anxiety, or low mood shifts gambling from entertainment to coping mechanism — a significant warning sign that needs attention.
If you find yourself minimising your betting app when family members walk in, or not mentioning how much you spent, that secretiveness is worth examining honestly.
Gambling with borrowed money, or money set aside for household expenses, is a serious escalation that causes lasting financial and relational damage.
Sitting down for a quick cricket bet and looking up hours later, with sessions running much longer than intended, is a behavioural pattern that compounds over time.
When family members raise concerns about your gambling, it is worth listening. People close to us often notice changes in behaviour before we do ourselves.
98pak — sport is the passion, responsible gaming is the foundation that keeps it that way.
Recognising that gambling has become a problem is not easy — it takes honesty and courage. If you are at that point, here is what you can do right now.
Open the 98pak live chat, tell the agent you want to activate a cool-off period or self-exclusion, and specify the duration. It takes about five minutes and the restriction takes effect immediately. Your balance is preserved and can be withdrawn before exclusion is applied. This is the fastest action you can take to remove access while you decide next steps.
Telling a family member, close friend, or someone you trust what is going on removes the secrecy that tends to make problem gambling worse. You do not need to have it all figured out before having the conversation — just being honest about it with one person is a significant step.
Our support team is trained to respond to problem gambling disclosures without judgement. If you contact us and explain the situation, we will direct you to appropriate professional resources, activate any account restrictions you need immediately, and ensure no further marketing is sent to you. Email us at support@98pak.ws or use live chat — both are available around the clock.
If you feel that a temporary restriction will not be enough, permanent self-exclusion is available on 98pak. This cannot be reversed. It is the right choice for some people, and we support that decision fully without any attempt to persuade you otherwise.
Our support team is available 24/7 to activate responsible gaming tools, answer questions about problem gambling, and provide referrals. All conversations are confidential.
If you are in crisis or your gambling is causing severe financial or personal harm, please contact a mental health professional or family support service in Pakistan as a matter of urgency. 98pak support can provide contact details on request.
98pak has a strict 18+ policy. Age verification is performed at registration and we reserve the right to request government-issued CNIC documentation from any player at any time. Accounts confirmed to belong to minors are closed immediately and any funds are handled in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
If you share a computer or mobile device with children or young people in your household, we strongly recommend taking the following steps to prevent underage access to 98pak:
If you believe a minor has accessed your 98pak account, contact us immediately at support@98pak.ws. We will investigate and secure the account promptly.
It is sometimes a family member or friend who first notices that gambling has become a problem — before the person gambling acknowledges it themselves. If you are in that position, it can feel difficult to know how to help without making things worse.
A few approaches that tend to help:
98pak cannot action responsible gaming restrictions based on third-party requests — the account holder must initiate them. However, our support team can provide guidance on how to have the conversation and what resources are available.
