01 What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means taking part in betting and casino activities in a way that remains fun, affordable, and under your control at all times. At 98pka, we want every player in Pakistan to enjoy cricket betting, PSL wagering, live casino tables, slots, and fish games as genuine entertainment — not as a financial strategy or an escape from stress.

The idea is straightforward: you decide in advance how much time and money you are comfortable spending, you stick to those boundaries, and you walk away when the session is over — win or lose. When gambling stays within those limits, it can be an enjoyable hobby. Problems begin when those limits slip and play starts to feel like a compulsion rather than a choice.

98pka is committed to making responsible gaming easy in practice, not just a phrase on a policy page. We provide real tools inside your account — deposit caps, session time reminders, cool-off periods, and the option to self-exclude completely — so you are always in the driving seat. None of these tools cost anything to use, and activating them will never affect your account standing or your ability to withdraw funds.

Remember: Gambling is entertainment. Every bet you place should come from money you can afford to lose — your rent, bills, groceries, and family commitments always come first.

If you ever feel that your gambling on 98pka has shifted from entertainment to something more difficult to manage, this page will help you understand what to look out for and exactly what steps you can take right now.

02 Know the Warning Signs

Problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. It tends to develop gradually, and many people do not realise there is an issue until it has already affected their finances, relationships, or wellbeing. Being aware of the early warning signs puts you in a much better position to act before things get difficult.

Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following patterns apply to you or someone you know:

You find yourself betting more than you originally planned in a single session, telling yourself you will "win it back" after a loss.

You have borrowed money from family members, friends, or used credit to fund deposits on 98pka or any other platform.

Gambling is the first thing on your mind when you wake up or the last thing you think about before sleeping.

You have tried to cut back or stop but found it harder than expected, and felt restless or irritable when you were not able to play.

You have been dishonest with people close to you about how much time or money you spend gambling.

You are using gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, anxiety, or other difficult feelings — rather than for the enjoyment of the game itself.

Important responsibilities — work, studies, family time — are being missed or delayed because of time spent on betting or casino games.

If two or more of the above feel familiar, it is worth taking a break and using one of the self-management tools in your 98pka account. There is no shame in it — recognising the signs early is a sign of good judgement, not weakness.

03 Our Responsible Gaming Tools

98pka gives every registered player in Pakistan access to a full set of responsible gaming controls, available directly from your account settings. Here is what is available and how each one works:

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month in PKR. Once the cap is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.

Session Time Reminders

Receive an on-screen reminder when you have been playing for a specified duration. A simple prompt to check how long you have been active.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 7 days. Your account is temporarily restricted from deposits and play during this window.

Self-Exclusion

Exclude your account for 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, or permanently. Withdrawals of existing balances remain available during exclusion.

Loss Limits

Cap the total amount you can lose in a set period. Once your limit is reached, further bets or casino wagers are paused automatically.

24/7 Support

Our support team is available around the clock via live chat. Responsible gaming queries are handled with complete confidentiality.

All of these tools are free to use and can be activated from your account settings at any time. Deposit limits and loss limits take effect immediately. Cool-off and self-exclusion periods cannot be shortened once started — this is intentional, to make sure the break is genuine.

To activate any of these tools, follow these steps:

01
Log in to your 98pka account

Access your account via the 98pka app on Android or through the website. Go to your profile icon in the top corner.

02
Open Account Settings

Navigate to Settings and then find the Responsible Gaming section. All available tools are listed here in one place.

03
Choose and confirm your limit

Select the tool you want, set your preferred limit or duration, and confirm. Changes to deposit limits take effect right away.

04
Contact support if needed

If you cannot find the setting you need or want to request a self-exclusion urgently, open live chat and a team member will assist you immediately.

04 Self-Assessment Questions

The questions below are not a clinical diagnostic tool, but they are a useful way to reflect honestly on your gambling habits. Go through each one and think carefully about your answer.

If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use the cool-off or self-exclusion tool in your account, and to speak with our support team about your options.

Q1

Have you ever spent more money gambling in a single day than you planned to when you sat down?

Q2

Have you ever chased losses — placed additional bets specifically to try and recover money you had already lost?

Q3

Has gambling caused any tension or arguments with your spouse, parents, siblings, or close friends?

Q4

Have you ever taken time off work, college, or other commitments to gamble or to recover from a big loss?

Q5

Have you felt the need to increase the size of your bets over time to get the same level of excitement?

Q6

Have you ever felt guilty, ashamed, or distressed after a gambling session?

Q7

Has gambling ever caused you to struggle with paying bills, buying food, or meeting other everyday financial needs?

Q8

Have you ever hidden your gambling from the people around you — including how much time or money you are spending?

Honest answers matter. This self-check is just between you and yourself. Nobody at 98pka sees your answers. But if the responses are pointing in a direction you are not comfortable with, please take action now — the tools are there, and the support team is always available.

05 Budgeting & Time Management

One of the most effective things you can do to keep gambling fun is to plan ahead. Deciding on limits before you start — rather than in the moment — removes the pressure of making financial decisions while you are caught up in the excitement of a cricket match or a live casino table.

Set a gambling budget:

  • Work out your monthly income and deduct all essential expenses — rent, food, utilities, loan repayments, family needs. Whatever is left is your discretionary income.
  • From that discretionary income, decide what percentage — if any — you are comfortable allocating to entertainment like gambling. Many players find that setting this at 5–10% of disposable income keeps things manageable.
  • That amount is your gambling budget for the month. Once it is used, the session is over — regardless of whether you won or lost.
  • Use the deposit limit feature in your 98pka account to enforce this automatically, so you never have to rely on willpower alone in a high-emotion moment.

Manage your time:

  • Before you open the 98pka app, set a clear time limit for the session — 30 minutes, an hour, whatever feels right. Set a phone timer if it helps.
  • Enable session time reminders in your account settings so 98pka will prompt you when you reach your limit.
  • Avoid gambling late at night when you are tired or when your judgement is affected. Decisions made when you are exhausted tend to be worse.
  • Take regular breaks during sessions — step away from the screen, get some water, and reset before continuing.
  • Never gamble when you are feeling stressed, angry, or upset. Emotional states have a direct impact on betting decisions, and this is when losses tend to mount.

Keep gambling in perspective:

Cricket betting on PSL or T20 internationals, live casino games, and fish games are genuinely entertaining activities. But they should be one small part of a balanced life — not a primary source of income, not a daily routine, and not something that takes priority over your family, health, or career. If gambling starts to feel like a job or a necessity rather than a hobby, that is a signal to slow down and reassess.

Practical tip: Keep a simple record of your deposits and withdrawals each month. Seeing the actual numbers in writing — rather than a rough memory — gives you a much clearer picture of where you stand financially. Most players find this exercise alone keeps their gambling in check.

06 Protecting Minors

98pka is strictly an adults-only platform. You must be 18 years of age or older to register an account, make a deposit, or place any bet or wager on the platform. Age is verified at the point of registration through CNIC submission, and any account found to belong to a person under 18 is closed immediately.

If you share a mobile phone, tablet, or computer with younger family members — including children, younger siblings, or other relatives — we ask that you take the following steps to prevent any possibility of them accessing your 98pka account:

  • Always log out of your 98pka account completely when you finish a session. Do not leave the app open on a shared device.
  • Do not save your login credentials in the device browser or app if younger people have access to the same device.
  • Set up a screen lock or PIN on your device so your apps cannot be accessed without your authentication.
  • Use your device's built-in parental control features to restrict access to gambling-related apps and websites.
  • Never share your 98pka login details — username, password, or OTP — with anyone else, including family members.
If you believe a minor has registered on 98pka using false age information, contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate and take action without delay. Protecting young people is something we take with complete seriousness.

07 Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from 98pka players about responsible gaming tools and account management.

Log in to your 98pka account and go to your profile or account settings. Find the Responsible Gaming section and select Deposit Limits. You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap in PKR. The limit takes effect immediately once you confirm it. If you want to lower the limit, it is applied right away. If you want to raise the limit, a short cooling period applies first.

No. Once a self-exclusion period has begun, it cannot be shortened or cancelled early. This is intentional — the purpose of self-exclusion is to give you a genuine, uninterrupted break. You can still contact support during exclusion if you have questions about your account or need to arrange a withdrawal of your existing balance.

No. Setting deposit limits, taking a cool-off, or using any other responsible gaming feature will not affect your eligibility for bonuses, your VIP tier, or your ability to withdraw funds. These tools exist to help you — using them is not penalised in any way.

A cool-off is a short break — typically 24 hours to 7 days — during which your account is restricted from deposits and betting. It is a lighter option designed for players who want to pause briefly and reset. Self-exclusion is a longer, more formal break lasting from 30 days up to permanently. Both are non-reversible once activated, but self-exclusion involves a more comprehensive account restriction and is the recommended option if you are dealing with a more serious concern.

If you are concerned about someone else's gambling, the most effective first step is to have an open and non-judgmental conversation with them about what you have noticed. Encourage them to use the responsible gaming tools in their 98pka account. You can also contact our support team — while we cannot share account details for privacy reasons, we can provide guidance on how to raise a concern and what options are available to help the account holder.

Yes. All players are required to submit their CNIC (Computerised National Identity Card) during registration, which confirms both identity and date of birth. The minimum age to hold a CNIC in Pakistan is 18, and 98pka will not approve accounts for anyone under that age. Any account where the age information appears inconsistent or falsified is flagged for review and closed.
