Gaming Is Entertainment — Keep It That Way
At 98pka, we have always believed that the best kind of gaming is gaming done responsibly. Whether you enjoy spinning the reels on your favourite slot, placing a bet on a T20 cricket match, or testing your luck at live casino tables, the experience should always stay in its lane — fun and recreational, never a source of stress or financial pressure.
Pakistan's gaming community has grown rapidly over the last few years, with more people exploring online platforms as a form of digital entertainment. We welcome that enthusiasm, but we also take our responsibility seriously. This page gives every 98pka member — whether you are in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, or anywhere else across the country — everything you need to enjoy our platform in a healthy and informed way.
Our responsible gaming framework covers three core areas: awareness, self-management tools, and support resources. Take a few minutes to read through this page — it could make your entire gaming journey safer and more enjoyable.
Important Reminder: Gaming on 98pka is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. If you or someone close to you is under 18, please do not access this platform. If you are a parent or guardian, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls.
Tools & Commitments for Safer Play
Built-in features to help you stay in control at every step
Deposit & Budget Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once you reach your chosen limit, 98pka will not allow additional deposits until the period resets. This keeps your spending in line with what you can genuinely afford — whether that is 500 PKR or 5,000 PKR per week.
Session Time Controls
Long gaming sessions can sneak up on you. Our session timer feature lets you set a time limit for each play session. When your time is up, you will receive a notification — and you can choose to stop or extend mindfully. Knowing how long you have been playing is half the battle.
Take a Break Option
Sometimes a short pause is all you need. With our "Take a Break" feature, you can temporarily suspend access to your 98pka account for a set period — from 24 hours to 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any bets, giving you breathing room without permanently closing your account.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel gaming has become a genuine problem, self-exclusion is available. You can request a long-term or permanent exclusion from 98pka by contacting our support team. This is a serious and powerful option — once applied, it cannot be reversed during the exclusion period, ensuring you are fully protected.
Activity & History Tracking
Transparency matters. Your account dashboard gives you a clear breakdown of your deposit history, game activity, total bets placed, and net results. Reviewing this information regularly helps you stay honest with yourself about how gaming fits into your broader financial life.
Age Verification
We enforce strict age checks during the registration process. All new members must confirm they are 18 or older and may be asked to verify their identity during account review. This protects younger family members and keeps our platform responsible from day one.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look obvious from the outside. It often develops gradually and can affect anyone — regardless of income, age, or how long they have been playing. Recognising the warning signs early makes a real difference.
Ask yourself honestly:
- Do you spend more than you planned, more often than not?
- Are you chasing losses to try and "win back" what you spent?
- Does gaming interfere with work, studies, or family time?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to stop?
- Have you borrowed money or delayed bills to fund gaming?
- Do you hide your gaming activity from people close to you?
- Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or low moods?
If you answered yes to two or more of these, we strongly encourage you to use our self-exclusion tool or reach out for external support. There is no shame in recognising a pattern early — it is the smart move.
Healthy Habits for Every Player
Most people who play on 98pka never experience serious problems — and we want to keep it that way. These practical habits help you enjoy our platform sustainably, whether you are into PSL betting, cricket odds, slots, or live dealer games.
- Set a fixed entertainment budget in PKR before you start and stick to it.
- Never gamble with rent money, EMI payments, or funds earmarked for essentials.
- Treat every loss as the cost of entertainment, not a debt to chase.
- Take regular breaks — step away after 60–90 minute sessions.
- Avoid gaming when you are tired, emotionally low, or under the influence.
- Use JazzCash or Easypaisa top-ups with a capped amount to enforce your own budget naturally.
- Celebrate wins without assuming they will continue indefinitely.
- Make sure gaming is only one of many things you enjoy — not the only one.
Understanding How Games Work
One of the most important pieces of knowledge any player can have is a clear understanding of how online games actually function. Slot games use a Random Number Generator (RNG) that produces completely random results on every single spin. There is no pattern, no "hot" machine, and no strategy that guarantees a win. Every spin is independent — the previous result has zero influence on the next.
Sports betting, including cricket and T20 markets, involves analysing outcomes — but even with the most detailed knowledge of teams, conditions, and form, results remain uncertain. The house edge and bookmaker margins are always present, which is why even experienced bettors have losing stretches.
Live casino games like roulette and baccarat have built-in mathematical advantages for the house. This does not mean you cannot win — plenty of players do — but it does mean that over a large number of bets, the house will come out ahead statistically. Play for the entertainment value, not purely to profit.
Understanding these mechanics is not meant to discourage you — it is meant to empower you. When you know what you are dealing with, you can set realistic expectations and enjoy the experience without pressure or false hope.
Protecting Minors
The safety of younger people is non-negotiable. Our platform is designed exclusively for adults aged 18 and above. To help protect minors in shared households, we recommend the following steps:
- Never share your 98pka login credentials with family members or friends.
- Always log out of your account when using shared devices.
- Enable device-level parental controls on shared computers, tablets, or smartphones.
- Keep your account password private and change it regularly.
- If you suspect a minor has accessed your account, contact our support team immediately.
We also reserve the right to request identity verification at any time to confirm a player's age. Accounts found to be used by minors will be closed without notice.
Getting Support
If you feel that gaming is causing genuine distress — financially, emotionally, or in your relationships — please do not wait. Reaching out early is a sign of strength, not weakness.
You can take immediate action through your 98pka account by activating a cooling-off period or requesting self-exclusion. Our support team is available to assist you with any responsible gaming request without judgement.
For broader support beyond the platform, consider speaking with a trusted family member, a counsellor, or a mental health professional. Many communities across Pakistan have access to mental health helplines and support services that can provide confidential guidance.
Remember: gaming is meant to be a small, enjoyable part of your leisure time — not something that takes over. If it ever starts to feel like the latter, that is your cue to pause, reassess, and get help.

We do not use pressure tactics to encourage players to spend more than they indicated is comfortable. And we actively encourage all members to use the budgeting and session tools available in their accounts.
