Zero tolerance for underage or problem gaming

Our commitment: 98pkp believes that gaming should always be a form of entertainment — something you choose to do for enjoyment, with money and time you can afford to spare. This page exists because we care about the wellbeing of every player on the platform. Please take a few minutes to read through it.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming simply means approaching online betting and casino games the same way you would any other form of entertainment — with a clear head, a defined budget, and the understanding that the outcome is never guaranteed. Whether you are placing a bet on a PSL T20 match, spinning the reels on a Slot game, or joining a Live Casino table, the experience should be enjoyable rather than stressful.

Problems tend to develop gradually, not overnight. A session that runs longer than planned, a loss that prompts an impulsive re-deposit, or a growing habit of gaming to escape stress are all early indicators that the balance is shifting. Responsible gaming is about recognising those moments early and having the tools to course-correct before things become genuinely difficult.

98pkp takes this seriously. We have structured our platform to give players clear controls over their own behaviour — including spending limits, session awareness, and the ability to take a break or close an account at any time. None of these tools are hidden. If you ever need to use them, contact support and we will help you set them up without delay.

Set a Gaming Budget in PKR

The single most effective responsible gaming habit is deciding in advance how much PKR you are willing to spend in a session or over a given period — and sticking to that figure regardless of how the session goes. Treating your gaming budget the same way you would treat an entertainment expense (like going to a cinema or buying cricket match tickets) keeps things in perspective.

1
Decide your total monthly gaming budget

Work out what you can genuinely afford after all essential expenses — rent, groceries, bills, family needs. Only the leftover discretionary money should be considered for gaming.

2
Break it into per-session limits

Divide your monthly budget into session amounts so no single night wipes out the whole month's allocation. This keeps gaming spread out and prevents large single losses.

3
Deposit only what you planned

Use JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, or Bank Transfer to deposit your pre-decided session amount. Once that deposit is in, do not top up mid-session — the budget is the budget.

4
Never chase losses

If your session balance runs down, that is the session. Close the app and move on. Chasing losses by depositing more is the most common pathway to serious financial harm.

Important: Never borrow money to fund gaming. Do not use funds set aside for household expenses, utility bills, school fees, or any essential family cost. Gaming money must come only from genuinely spare, discretionary income.

Manage Your Gaming Time

Time passes quickly when you are engaged in a live Cricket bet or a Casino session. What feels like thirty minutes can easily turn into two or three hours if you are not keeping track. Time management is just as important as money management when it comes to responsible gaming.

  • Set a timer on your phone before starting a session and stop when it goes off — regardless of whether you are up or down
  • Avoid gaming late at night when tiredness impairs your judgement and makes it harder to stick to limits
  • Take at least one full gaming-free day each week to maintain perspective and balance
  • If you find yourself playing for longer than planned on a regular basis, that is an early warning sign worth taking seriously
  • Gaming should never come at the cost of work, sleep, family time, or social commitments
  • Schedule gaming sessions in advance rather than gaming spontaneously — planned sessions are easier to manage and easier to end

Warning Signs to Watch For

Most people who develop a problem with gaming do not notice it happening gradually. By the time the problem is obvious, the financial or personal damage is already significant. Recognising the early signs gives you the chance to take action while it is still straightforward to do so.

Be honest with yourself about the following patterns. If several of these apply to you, it is worth taking a serious step back and considering the tools available to you on 98pkp or speaking to someone you trust.

Financial Warning Signs
  • Spending more on gaming than you planned
  • Borrowing money or selling items to fund gaming
  • Neglecting bills or essential expenses because of gaming
  • Depositing again immediately after losing
  • Feeling that you need to win back what you have lost
Behavioural Warning Signs
  • Gaming for longer than you intended regularly
  • Feeling irritable or restless when not gaming
  • Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends
  • Gaming to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly. If you find yourself saying yes to three or more, it is a strong signal that your gaming habits may need to be reviewed. There is no shame in that — recognising the issue is the first step to managing it.

Q1

Have you ever spent more PKR on gaming in a single session than you originally planned when you started?

Q2

Have you ever felt a strong urge to keep playing after reaching your self-imposed time or money limit?

Q3

Have you used gaming as a way to deal with stress, boredom, loneliness, or difficult emotions?

Q4

Has someone close to you — a family member, friend, or colleague — expressed concern about the amount of time or money you spend on gaming?

Q5

Have you ever tried to cut down on your gaming but found it difficult or felt uncomfortable when you did?

Q6

Have you ever considered or actually used money intended for essential household expenses — food, bills, school fees — to fund gaming?

If you answered yes to 3 or more: Please consider using the self-exclusion or account restriction tools described below, or reach out to the 98pkp support team. There is no judgment — our team is there to help, not to question you.

Responsible Gaming Tools on 98pkp

98pkp provides a set of practical account tools specifically designed to help players stay in control. All of these are available by contacting the support team. There are no penalties for using them — they exist precisely so that players who want to manage their gaming can do so effectively.

💰
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum PKR deposit amount per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for controlling spend.

⏱️
Session Time Reminders

Request session duration alerts so you receive a notification when you have been logged in for a set amount of time. A simple reminder can be enough to prompt a healthy break.

🧊
Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from the platform — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During a cooling-off period your account is suspended and deposits are blocked. This is reversible once the period ends.

🔒
Self-Exclusion

Request a longer-term self-exclusion if you feel you need a more serious break. Your account is closed and cannot be reopened for the exclusion period. This is the most robust option for anyone genuinely struggling.

📊
Account Activity History

Review your full deposit, withdrawal, and gaming history at any time. Seeing the actual numbers — rather than relying on memory — is often a useful reality check for players who want to assess their habits.

🚪
Account Closure

You can request permanent account closure at any time. There are no fees, no questions, and no pressure. If you decide gaming is not for you, closing your account is a straightforward process through support.

Protecting Under-18s

98pkp is a strictly adults-only platform. No one under the age of 18 is permitted to register an account, make a deposit, or place any bet. This is a firm rule with no exceptions. Age verification checks are applied during the registration process and at key points during account activity.

If you share a device or a home with younger family members, please take practical steps to keep them away from the platform:

  • Always log out of your 98pkp account when you are not using it — never leave a session open on a shared device
  • Do not save your login credentials in a browser or app where a younger person could access them
  • Keep your password private and change it if you suspect anyone else may know it
  • Use device-level parental controls if you share a computer, tablet, or phone with children
  • If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact 98pkp support immediately

If you suspect a minor has registered on 98pkp: Contact our support team without delay. Any account confirmed to belong to a person under 18 will be closed immediately and all funds returned where applicable.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Common questions from 98pkp players about managing gaming habits and using platform tools.

Contact the 98pkp support team via the live chat or by emailing [email protected] and ask to have a deposit limit applied to your account. Tell us the PKR amount and the period — daily, weekly, or monthly — and the team will set it up for you promptly. Once active, the limit is enforced automatically and cannot be bypassed by making a new account.

Yes. A cooling-off period allows you to suspend your account temporarily — from 24 hours up to several weeks — without permanently closing it. During the suspension, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Once the period ends, your account returns to its normal state. Contact support to arrange this.

Any remaining PKR balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be processed as a withdrawal back to your registered payment method — JazzCash, Easypaisa, or your bank account. You will not lose funds by choosing to self-exclude. The support team will confirm all details with you when you make the request.

Contact support immediately. Change your password as soon as possible and report the suspected unauthorised access to the support team, who can review account activity and take appropriate action. If the person who accessed your account is under 18, inform support of this and the matter will be treated as a priority.

Yes, completely. All responsible gaming requests — whether for a deposit limit, a cooling-off period, self-exclusion, or account closure — are handled in strict confidence by the support team. No information about your request is shared with other parties. You can make your request via support chat or email.

Take a break — even a short one. Log out now and do something else for a few hours or days. When gaming starts feeling stressful or obligatory rather than enjoyable, that is a clear signal that it has shifted from entertainment to something else. Consider setting a deposit limit, taking a cooling-off period, or speaking to someone you trust about how you are feeling. 98pkp support is also available to help you set up any account tools you need.
