98bet was built from the ground up with one idea in mind: give Pakistani players a platform that actually understands them — local payments, PKR balances, cricket coverage and games that run smoothly on the kind of phones most people actually use.
If you've spent any time trying to use international betting or casino platforms as a Pakistani player, you already know the frustration. Payment methods that don't support PKR. Deposit pages that only accept cards most people in Pakistan don't have. Customer support that clearly has no idea where Pakistan even is on a map. Websites that load fine in Europe but crawl on a typical mobile connection in Lahore or Karachi.
98bet was put together to deal with exactly those problems. The people who built this platform are people who understood the Pakistani market not from a spreadsheet, but from actual experience — watching PSL finals, using JazzCash for everyday payments and knowing that cricket season means something entirely different here than anywhere else in the world.
From day one, the priorities were clear: PKR deposits without conversion headaches, mobile-first performance that works on budget and mid-range Android phones, local payment support through JazzCash, Easypaisa and Raast, and a game library that's actually worth browsing. Everything else — the bonuses, the promotions, the live casino — built on top of that foundation.
The honest answer is that it comes down to focus. A lot of platforms try to be everything to everyone across dozens of markets. 98bet is specifically for Pakistani players. That focus changes a lot of decisions in practice.
When we set minimum deposit limits, we set them at PKR 500 — an amount that's genuinely accessible to a casual player who wants to enjoy a few slots or place a bet on a T20 match without feeling like they have to commit a large amount upfront. When we add payment methods, we add the ones Pakistani players actually use daily, not whatever happens to be available from a global payment aggregator. When we build cricket coverage, we make sure PSL fixtures are front and centre during the season, not buried three clicks deep in a generic sports menu.
The platform is also designed to run well on Pakistani internet connections and Android devices. The mobile app is lightweight, quick to load and doesn't demand a flagship phone to function properly. You can deposit, browse games and place bets on a mid-range Android with a 4G connection and have a genuinely smooth experience.
98bet currently offers over 2,000 games across slots, live casino tables, table games and sports betting markets. The slots library is regularly updated with new releases from well-known game providers, and the live casino section includes real-time dealer tables for classics like baccarat, roulette and blackjack that stream at consistent quality even on mobile.
For sports fans, 98bet covers cricket comprehensively — including Pakistan Super League matches, T20 internationals, test series and bilateral series involving the Pakistan national team. Football is also well covered, along with esports markets for players who enjoy games like CS:GO and Dota. Match odds are updated in real time, and live in-play betting is available for major fixtures.
PSL Season: During the Pakistan Super League, 98bet runs dedicated cricket promotions alongside expanded live betting markets. Check the Promotions page when PSL is on to see what deposit bonuses and free bet offers are available for cricket fans.
Everything at 98bet is denominated in PKR. There is no currency conversion, no exchange rate guesswork and no hidden international transaction fees. When you deposit PKR 2,000, your wallet shows PKR 2,000. When you win and withdraw, you receive PKR into the same account you deposited from.
JazzCash and Easypaisa deposits typically arrive in under 60 seconds. Raast transfers, using the State Bank of Pakistan's real-time payment infrastructure, are also instant and bypass the daily limits that some mobile wallets apply. Bank transfer via IBFT is available for larger deposits, and Visa and Mastercard debit cards linked to Pakistani bank accounts are accepted at the cashier.
The minimum deposit is PKR 500. There is no maximum set by 98bet — though your chosen payment method's own limits will apply. Withdrawals follow the same local payment rails: your PKR goes back to your JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank account through the same channels you deposited with.
98bet is a platform for adults aged 18 and above, and we take that seriously. The platform includes deposit limit tools that let you set daily, weekly or monthly spending caps from your account settings. Once set, these limits take effect immediately. Any request to increase a limit comes with a mandatory cooling-off period — so the decision can't be made impulsively in the moment.
We encourage every player to treat gaming as entertainment with a budget rather than as a source of income. If you ever feel your gambling habits are becoming difficult to manage, 98bet's self-exclusion tools allow you to pause your account for a defined period. The Responsible Gaming page has more detail on all the tools available to help you stay in control.
98bet continues to grow its game library, improve payment processing speeds and expand cricket coverage ahead of each new PSL season and major international series. The mobile app is updated regularly with performance improvements, and the promotions calendar evolves to stay relevant to what Pakistani players are actually interested in watching and betting on.
The goal hasn't changed since day one: be the most genuinely useful online gaming platform for players in Pakistan, built around the way people here actually live, pay and follow sport. If you haven't registered yet, it takes under two minutes and the first deposit triggers a welcome bonus automatically. The Platform page has a full overview of everything 98bet offers if you want to explore before signing up.
The 98bet concept was developed with a clear focus: a gaming platform designed entirely around Pakistani players, payments and sports culture.
Local payment rails went live — JazzCash and Easypaisa instant deposits were among the first features Pakistani players asked for and the first we delivered.
Full Pakistan Super League coverage was added with real-time in-play markets, dedicated PSL promotions and dedicated cricket bonus campaigns.
The lightweight Android app launched — built to run smoothly on mid-range devices with Pakistani mobile network conditions in mind.
Over 500,000 registered players, 2,000+ games, Raast integration and an ever-expanding cricket and slots library — with more updates planned each PSL season.
Minimum deposit PKR 500. All balances held and displayed in PKR — no currency conversion.
From local payments to live cricket betting, here's what makes 98bet the platform Pakistani players keep coming back to.
Deposit and withdraw in PKR using the apps you already have on your phone. JazzCash and Easypaisa deposits reflect in under 60 seconds with zero platform fees. No card required, no conversion, no fuss.
Cricket is front and centre at 98bet. Pakistan Super League fixtures, T20 internationals and bilateral series are all covered with real-time live betting markets and dedicated PSL season promotions.
Play baccarat, roulette and blackjack with live dealers streaming in real time. Tables are available around the clock and the streams are optimised for mobile connections common across Pakistani cities.
A regularly updated library of slots, table games and specialty titles from leading providers. New releases are added frequently, and game pages are optimised to load quickly on mid-range Android devices.
The welcome bonus gives a 100% match up to PKR 10,000 on your first deposit. Weekly reload bonuses, PSL cricket promotions and seasonal offers are designed around events Pakistani players actually follow.
All transactions are SSL-encrypted. Account tools let you set deposit limits, take cooling-off breaks or self-exclude if needed. 98bet is a platform for adults aged 18 and above — always.
These aren't slogans on a wall. They're the practical decisions that shaped how the platform was built and how it continues to be run.
Payment methods, currency, language, sports coverage — every decision starts with what actually makes sense for a player in Pakistan, not what's convenient for a global rollout.
No hidden fees, no confusing currency displays, no bonus terms buried in small print. What you see in the cashier and in your wallet is exactly what you get.
The platform is designed to run well on the devices most people in Pakistan actually use — not just on flagship phones with perfect Wi-Fi connections.
Deposit limits, self-exclusion tools and responsible gaming reminders are built into the platform, not added as an afterthought to satisfy a checkbox.
The game library, app performance and payment options are updated regularly based on what players are asking for — not on a fixed annual roadmap that ignores user feedback.
From product to payments to cricket coverage, every part of 98bet is managed by people who understand what Pakistani players need.
