At 98bet, we believe gaming should always be enjoyable. This page explains the tools and principles we have built into the platform to help every Pakistani player manage their habits, set sensible limits and get help if they ever need it.
These are not just policies — they are the practical steps 98bet takes to make sure every player on the platform can stay in control of how they play.
Every new account on 98bet goes through age and identity checks before full access is granted. No person under 18 can register, deposit or participate in any game on the platform.
Set daily, weekly or monthly PKR deposit caps directly from your account settings. Changes that reduce your limit take effect immediately. Increases require a 72-hour cooling-off period.
Enable reminders that notify you after a set amount of continuous play. Keeping track of time is one of the simplest and most effective habits for staying in control when playing casino games or betting on cricket and PSL.
Choose to exclude yourself for a fixed period or permanently. During exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit or place any bets. This tool is available to every registered player, free of charge, at any time.
Set a maximum loss threshold for any session or time period. When you approach your limit, the platform will notify you. Once the limit is reached, no further bets can be placed until the period resets.
If you are worried about your own habits or those of someone close to you, our support team is available around the clock. Responsible gaming requests — including self-exclus ion and limit adjustments — are handled with full confidentiality.
These tools are available to every registered player at no cost. You can access them at any time from your account settings or by contacting support directly.
Cap how much PKR you can deposit over a given period. Available as a daily, weekly or monthly limit. Supports all payment methods including JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and bank transfer.
Define the maximum PKR amount you are comfortable losing in a single session, a day, or a week. Once your limit is hit, you will be automatically prevented from placing further bets until the period resets.
Take a short break from 98bet without fully closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, one week or one month. During this time, you cannot log in or place bets.
If you feel that your gambling has become a problem, self-exclusion is the strongest tool available. You can choose a fixed exclusion period of up to five years, or request permanent exclusion.
Set a reminder that pops up after you have been playing for a chosen length of time — 30 minutes, one hour, or any custom interval. It is a simple nudge to pause, reflect and decide whether to continue.
View a complete history of your deposits, withdrawals, bets placed and games played. Seeing the full picture of your PKR spending helps you make informed decisions about your playing habits.
Answer these questions honestly. They are not a clinical test — they are simply a way to help you reflect on whether gambling is still feeling like fun or starting to cause stress.
If you find yourself answering "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion tool or reach out to the 98bet support team for a confidential conversation.
Recognising a potential problem early is the most important step. There is no shame in it — many players benefit from simply adjusting their deposit limits and taking a short break.
Do you spend more PKR on gambling than you originally planned when you started a session?
Do you find yourself chasing losses — placing more bets to try to recover money you have already lost?
Has gambling caused arguments or tension with your family or friends recently?
Do you ever borrow money or use money set aside for household expenses — food, rent, utilities — to fund your betting?
Do you feel restless, irritable or anxious when you are not able to gamble or when you try to cut down?
Do you hide how much time or money you spend gambling from the people around you?
Has gambling stopped feeling like entertainment and started feeling like something you need to do rather than choose to do?
98bet was built for Pakistani players who enjoy the excitement of online betting — whether that is following the Pakistan Super League, placing a wager on an international T20 match, spinning through a slot game during a quiet evening or playing live casino with a real dealer. Entertainment is the starting point and it should always stay that way.
Responsible gaming, for us, is not a disclaimer buried in the footer. It is a genuine commitment that shapes how the platform is designed, how accounts are managed and how our support team responds when a player raises a concern. Every tool on this page is free, available to all registered players and can be activated without delay.
We do not make any claim to being regulated by a Pakistani government body or to holding a local gambling licence. We simply hold ourselves to the standard of operating a platform that treats players fairly, provides honest information about risk, and gives every adult the means to manage their own experience.
The minimum age to register and play on 98bet is 18 years. This rule applies without exception. We verify age during the registration process and may request additional documentation during identity verification checks. Accounts found to belong to players under 18 will be closed immediately and any remaining balance returned to the original payment source.
We also ask all adult players to be mindful of others in their household. If you share a device with a younger family member, please ensure your 98bet account is logged out and that any saved passwords are removed. Parental control software is widely available and can provide an additional layer of protection.
Shared devices: If you use a shared phone or computer to access 98bet, always log out after each session and never save your login credentials in the browser. Account security is your first line of defence against underage access.
One of the most practical things any player can do is decide their gambling budget before they start, not during a session. The excitement of a big cricket match or a live casino table can make it easy to lose track of how much you are spending. Setting a clear PKR limit in advance removes that risk.
Here are some straightforward guidelines that responsible players at 98bet follow:
Every game on 98bet — from slot games and live casino to cricket betting odds — is designed with a mathematical edge in favour of the house or bookmaker over the long run. This is true of every gambling platform in the world and it is important to understand it clearly before you play.
This does not mean you cannot win. Short-term results vary enormously and many players do win on any given session. But over a large number of bets or spins, the expected outcome for the player is a net loss. The purpose of playing should be the entertainment value of the experience, not financial gain.
For sports betting specifically — including PSL cricket, T20 internationals and football — knowledge of the sport genuinely helps you make more informed decisions. But no amount of cricket knowledge removes the inherent uncertainty of sporting outcomes, and even the most experienced bettors experience extended losing runs. Managing your stake size relative to your total budget is just as important as picking the right team.
We recognise that some people are more vulnerable to developing gambling problems than others. This includes people going through financial stress, those dealing with mental health challenges, and people who have struggled with addictive behaviour in other areas. If any of this applies to you, we encourage extra caution and the use of the strongest available tools — particularly deposit limits and self-exclusion.
If you are concerned about someone else's gambling — a family member, a friend, a colleague — there are steps you can take. Encourage them to look at their own spending honestly. Point them toward the self-assessment questions on this page. If they are a 98bet player, they can contact support to activate restrictions on their own account. If the situation feels serious, speaking with a mental health professional or counselling service is the most appropriate next step.
All responsible gaming tools are accessible from your 98bet account dashboard once you are logged in. Here is how to get started:
Use your registered email and password to access the platform via the website or the 98bet app.
Click on your profile icon and select "Responsible Gaming" or "Account Limits" from the menu.
Select from deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cooling-off or self-exclusion. Each tool has a brief description and a setup guide.
Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your chosen limits or exclusion period. Changes that restrict your activity take effect immediately.
For permanent or long-term self-exclusion requests, please contact the 98bet support team directly so we can process the request and confirm it is in place.
If you have questions about any of the tools on this page, want to activate a restriction, or simply want to talk through a concern about your gambling habits, the 98bet support team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
You can reach us at: [email protected]
All responsible gaming conversations are treated with complete confidentiality. You will never be judged for reaching out. If your situation requires professional support beyond what we can offer, we encourage you to speak with a qualified counsellor or a mental health professional in your area.
Taking care of your mental and financial wellbeing is more important than any game. 98bet is here to provide entertainment — and we want that entertainment to stay positive for every player who chooses our platform.
