At 98pk, we believe that gaming should always be an enjoyable, entertaining experience — never a source of stress, financial strain, or harm. Our Responsible Gaming Programme is one of the most comprehensive in Pakistan's online gaming space, giving players from Karachi to Islamabad the tools, knowledge, and support they need to keep their play healthy and in check. This page explains everything you need to know about our commitment to your wellbeing.
Responsible gaming is not a checkbox for 98pk — it is a core operating value. These six pillars define how we protect every player on our platform, every single day.
Every new 98pk account undergoes mandatory identity verification before real-money play is permitted. We use multi-layer KYC checks — including CNIC and passport authentication — to ensure no player under 21 can access the platform.
Players can set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits directly from their account settings. Once a limit is in place it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Our platform allows you to set a maximum session duration. When your session limit is reached, you are automatically logged out. You can also enable reality-check pop-up reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
If you feel your gaming is becoming excessive, you can activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During a cooling-off period your account is temporarily suspended and no deposits or gameplay are possible.
Self-exclusion is our most powerful responsible gaming tool. Players who feel they need a longer break — or need to stop permanently — can request self-exclusion for a defined period or indefinitely. Self-exclusion takes effect within minutes of the request being submitted.
98pk's player protection team is available around the clock via live chat and email. Our support staff are trained to identify signs of problem gambling and to connect players with the right resources — without judgment and with complete confidentiality.
Beyond deposit controls, 98pk allows you to set a hard loss limit per day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is reached, you cannot place further bets until the limit period resets. This prevents chasing losses — one of the most dangerous gambling behaviours.
Players can activate periodic on-screen notifications that display their session duration, net win/loss position, and a prompt to review their limits. Reality checks are configurable in 15-minute, 30-minute, or 60-minute intervals and are free to enable at any time.
Honest self-reflection is the first and most important step toward responsible gaming. Review the questions below carefully. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to make use of 98pk's responsible gaming tools or to reach out to a professional support service.
Problem gambling does not always look the same. For some players in Lahore or Karachi it may manifest as spending more than they can afford on PSL cricket betting. For others it may be extended late-night casino sessions that affect work and family life. The warning signs are the same regardless of the game.
Answering "yes" to any of these questions does not mean you are a "bad" person. Problem gambling is a recognised condition that responds well to support and intervention. 98pk is here to help, not to judge.
All responsible gaming tools on the 98pk platform are completely free to use and can be activated at any time from your account settings — no waiting period, no approval required.
Cap how much you can deposit across daily, weekly, and monthly periods. Adjustments downward are immediate; increases require a 24-hour review period.
Request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion directly from your account. Once activated, you cannot deposit, bet, or log in for the chosen exclusion period.
Set a hard cap on how long each gaming session can last. When the limit is hit, the platform logs you out automatically — no exceptions, no override option.
Need a short break but not a full self-exclusion? A cooling-off period suspends your account for 24 hours up to 90 days, giving you space to reassess your gaming habits.
Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It tends to develop gradually, and many players in Pakistan do not realise they have a problem until it has already caused significant harm. Knowing the warning signs — in yourself and in the people around you — is critical to getting ahead of it.
At 98pk, our responsible gaming monitoring systems are also designed to flag unusual patterns of play — such as large rapid deposits, extended unbroken sessions, or sudden escalation in bet sizes — so that our player protection team can proactively reach out to players who may need support.
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, contact our 24/7 support team immediately at [email protected]. We will connect you with the right resources quickly and confidentially.
Strictly enforced on every 98pk account, every day.
98pk enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all registered players. This is not a formality — it is a core platform policy that we enforce with mandatory KYC verification on every single account before any real-money gaming activity is permitted. Protecting young people from gambling harm is one of our most fundamental responsibilities, and we take it with absolute seriousness.
All players must submit a valid Pakistani CNIC or passport. Our verification system confirms date of birth before account activation.
Any account found to belong to a player under 21 is immediately suspended and all deposited funds are returned to the originating payment method.
Parents and guardians in Pakistan are encouraged to use internet filtering tools and to keep login credentials for online accounts — including 98pk — private and secure.
If you believe a minor has attempted to access or register on the 98pk platform, please report it immediately to [email protected]. We investigate all such reports as a priority.
Responsible gaming is not something we address only when problems arise — it is built into the architecture and culture of the 98pk platform from day one. Every product decision, every bonus structure, and every player communication we make is reviewed through a responsible gaming lens to ensure we are not inadvertently encouraging harmful behaviour.
We do not offer bonuses that incentivise players to deposit beyond their means. Our promotional terms are clear and transparent — no hidden wagering requirements designed to trap players. We do not send targeted marketing to players who have set deposit limits, activated cooling-off periods, or shown signs of elevated risk in their gaming patterns.
Licence and Audit Commitment: 98pk operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence. As a condition of that licence, our responsible gaming programme is subject to periodic external audit to verify compliance with player protection standards. All 98pk games are independently verified for fairness and tested against certified Random Number Generator (RNG) standards, so you can be confident that the outcomes you experience are genuinely random and not manipulated.
Our player protection team monitors gaming activity across the platform on an ongoing basis using responsible gaming analytics tools. Where our systems flag a player as potentially at risk — based on patterns like rapid loss escalation, repeated deposit attempts after withdrawal, or unusual session duration — our team will proactively reach out to that player to check in and offer support. This outreach is always handled with sensitivity and without judgment.
We are committed to continuous improvement of our responsible gaming programme. If you have suggestions for how 98pk can better support player wellbeing — whether you are a player in Faisalabad, Islamabad, or anywhere else in Pakistan — we welcome your feedback at [email protected].
If you are in crisis or feel that gambling is causing serious harm to you or your family right now, please contact our support team immediately. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Don't wait until there's a problem. Set your deposit, loss, and session limits today — while you're thinking clearly. It only takes a few minutes in your account settings and it could make a real difference down the line.
For additional support and guidance on responsible gaming, we recommend consulting the resources provided by internationally recognised gambling treatment and research organisations. Ask our support team for recommendations relevant to your situation .
