Responsible Gaming Policy

Play Smart. Stay in Control. Enjoy 98pka Safely.

At 98pka, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We provide every Pakistani player with the tools, information, and support needed to keep gaming fun, healthy, and within personal limits.

Strict 21+ Age Restriction — No Exceptions

The 98pka platform is exclusively for adults aged 21 years and above. All new accounts are subject to mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) age verification before any withdrawal is approved. If you suspect an underage person is attempting to access 98pka, please contact our support team immediately. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and will act swiftly on every reported case.

Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming at 98pka

98pka's responsible gaming framework is built on six clear commitments. Every feature, every policy, and every support channel we offer traces back to one of these pillars.

Age Verification

Every player on 98pka must be 21 years of age or older. We verify age through a mandatory KYC process that requires valid government-issued identification — no withdrawal is processed without a passed age check.

Deposit Limits

Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in PKR directly from their 98pka account dashboard. Once set, a limit can only be lowered immediately — increases take a cooling-off period to take effect, giving you time to reconsider.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gaming is getting out of hand, 98pka offers self-exclusion periods ranging from 30 days to permanent closure. During self-exclusion, your account is locked and all marketing communications are immediately suspended.

Reality Checks

Set a session reminder that alerts you every 30, 60, or 90 minutes during active play. These reality check pop-ups display your current session duration and net win/loss so you can make an informed decision about whether to continue.

Time-Out Periods

Need a short break without full self-exclusion? 98pka's time-out feature lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your balance is safely preserved and you can return once the period expires.

Loss Limits

Set a hard cap on how much you can lose in a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, the platform will prevent further wagering until the limit period resets — helping you protect your PKR balance from significant swings.

Take Control of Your Gaming Experience

Every responsible gaming tool at 98pka is designed to put you in the driver's seat. Here is a step-by-step look at each protection mechanism available to Pakistani players on the platform, how to access it, and what it does for your peace of mind.

How to access these tools:
Log in to your 98pka account → Navigate to Account Settings → Select Responsible Gaming. All tools are self-service and most changes take effect immediately. For self-exclusion requests, you can also contact our support team directly at [email protected].

01
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limits

Log into 98pka, head to Responsible Gaming settings, and set your maximum PKR deposit amount per day, week, or month. The system enforces this limit automatically — even if you attempt to top up via JazzCash or EasyPaisa beyond your cap, the transaction will be declined at the platform level, not just the wallet level.

Available in Account Settings
02
Session Time Limits

Define a maximum daily or weekly gaming session duration. Once you hit your self-defined session limit, you will be automatically logged out. You can re-enter the platform after a mandatory break period — keeping your play sessions healthy and time-bound.

Instant Effect
03
Loss Limit Controls

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly ceiling on your net losses in PKR. This tool is particularly valuable for players in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad who play across multiple game types — slots, live dealer, cricket betting — and want a single unified loss cap across the entire 98pka platform.

Cross-Platform Enforced
04
Temporary Time-Out

Select a time-out period of 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is inaccessible for gaming, depositing, and betting — but your balance is fully protected and all pending withdrawals will still be processed. Ideal for players who want a short structured break without permanent account closure.

Balance Protected
05
Self-Exclusion (30 Days to Permanent)

This is 98pka's most powerful responsible gaming tool. Choosing self-exclusion locks your account for the selected period — 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. All promotional emails, SMS notifications, and bonus offers are suspended immediately. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account cannot be reopened. This tool is intended for players who recognise that gambling is negatively affecting their life.

Immediate Lock
06
Reality Check Reminders

Configure on-screen pop-ups that appear at regular intervals (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes) during your gaming session. Each reminder displays how long you have been playing and your current session net balance, prompting a genuine moment of reflection before you decide to continue or stop.

Configurable Intervals

Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment — Not a Financial Strategy

98pka is built for the thrill of cricket betting, live dealer action, and instant games. It is designed as leisure, not income. Every feature on the platform is built with that principle at its core.

Understanding Problem Gambling — And What 98pka Does About It

Problem gambling is a recognised behavioural issue that can affect anyone — regardless of income, city, or experience level. At 98pka, we train our responsible gaming team to identify early warning signs and intervene before a player's situation escalates. Our monitoring systems flag unusual deposit patterns, rapid session escalation, and repeated bonus chasing across cricket betting and slot games.

If our system detects patterns associated with problem gambling, a trained member of the 98pka responsible gaming team may reach out by email to check in and offer support. This is not punitive — it is part of our duty of care to every player on the platform, from Faisalabad to Karachi.

  • Automated monitoring of deposit frequency and session escalation patterns
  • Proactive outreach from the 98pka responsible gaming team where flagged
  • Mandatory cooling-off period before any limit increase takes effect
  • Immediate suspension of all marketing upon self-exclusion request
  • Referral to professional support organisations for affected players
  • All responsible gaming tools are completely free and self-service

98pka's Responsible Gaming Standards

These are the non-negotiable operating standards that every team member at 98pka is trained to uphold — from our customer support agents to our platform developers.

No Marketing to At-Risk Players

Once a player activates self-exclusion or contacts us about a gambling problem, all promotional communications — including PSL betting offers and PKR bonus emails — are permanently suspended for that account.

Transparent Terms on All Promotions

Every 98pka bonus, promotional offer, and PKR cashback deal comes with clearly stated wagering requirements and expiry dates. We do not use predatory bonus structures designed to trap players in extended losing sessions.

Transparent RTP Information

Return-to-player (RTP) percentages for all slot games and live dealer titles on 98pka are available in each game's information panel. We believe players deserve to understand the mathematical odds of any game before they wager PKR on it.

Zero Tolerance for Underage Play

98pka enforces a strict 21+ age policy without exception. All accounts undergo KYC age verification. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and all balances returned to the originating payment source.

Behavioural Monitoring Systems

Our platform continuously monitors player behaviour for indicators of problem gambling — escalating deposit frequency, rapid loss chasing on cricket markets, and unusual session patterns. Flagged accounts trigger a responsible gaming review by our team.

International Licensing Standards

98pka operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence whose responsible gaming requirements we are contractually obligated to uphold. Our responsible gaming framework is regularly reviewed to align with global best practice standards for player protection.
