Responsible Gaming at 98pkr — Play Smart, Stay in Control

Betting on 98pkr is meant to be enjoyable — the thrill of a PSL match, a last-minute football goal, a good poker hand. When it stops being fun and starts feeling like something you can't control, that's when our responsible gaming tools matter most. This page explains exactly what we offer and how to use it.

18+ only. Gambling should be entertainment — never a way to earn income or recover losses. If you feel your gambling is out of control, please use the self-exclusion tool in your account settings or contact us at support@98pkr.click immediately.

98pkr

We Put Players First98pkr's responsible gaming commitment is not a footnote — it shapes how the platform is designed, marketed and operated.

Tools That Work ImmediatelyEvery limit you set on 98pkr takes effect the moment you apply it — no waiting periods, no loopholes.

Self-Exclusion Is HonouredWhen you self-exclude on 98pkr, you stop receiving all promotional communications. This is enforced, not just promised.

What Responsible Gaming Means on 98pkr

Responsible gaming isn't a phrase 98pkr uses to tick a box. It's a genuine commitment that runs through every part of the platform — from how bonuses are structured to how we respond when a player tells us they need help.

The reality is that most Pakistani players who use 98pkr do so sensibly. They set a budget for the week, bet on their favourite cricket match, win some, lose some and enjoy the experience. That's exactly what 98pkr is designed for.

But gambling problems are real, and they affect a small percentage of players in every country including Pakistan. The signs aren't always obvious to the person experiencing them. A responsible gaming programme that only kicks in when someone reaches out is too slow. 98pkr monitors for behavioural indicators — rapid deposit sequences, unusually long sessions, dramatic changes in bet size — and flags these for review so that support can reach out proactively.

We also maintain strict age verification because underage gambling causes serious harm. Every withdrawal on 98pkr requires KYC — identity documents must match account details and confirm the player is 18 or older before any funds are released.

Responsible Gaming Tools on 98pkr

Every 98pkr account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls. Here's what's available and how each one works.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your 98pkr account in a given period — daily, weekly or monthly. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.

Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to protect against impulsive decisions made in the heat of a losing run.

Instant when reducing
Loss Limits

Set the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a daily, weekly or monthly period. When your net losses reach this threshold, 98pkr will not accept further bets for the remainder of that period regardless of your remaining deposit balance.

This is one of the most effective tools for Pakistani players who want to enjoy betting without the risk of an unexpectedly large single-session loss.

Protects your bankroll
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each betting or gaming session. When the timer expires, you are automatically logged out of 98pkr. A warning notification appears 10 minutes before your session limit is reached.

This tool is particularly useful if you find yourself betting late into the night or when you've told yourself you'd only be on for half an hour.

10-min warning included
Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from 98pkr. Choose from 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or 90 days. During this period your account is restricted — no deposits, no bets, no promotions. You can still log in to check your balance or withdraw remaining funds.

A cooling-off period cannot be shortened once applied. It runs for the full duration you selected, giving you genuine breathing space.

Runs full duration
Self-Exclusion

Permanently or indefinitely close your 98pkr account. Self-exclusion is the most serious responsible gaming tool and cannot be reversed for a minimum of 6 months regardless of your reason for requesting it to be lifted.

When self-excluded, all marketing communications stop immediately. Any remaining real-money balance is returned to your withdrawal method. 98pkr will not attempt to re-engage you during exclusion.

Min 6-month lock
Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up notifications that appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60 or 90 minutes — showing how long you have been playing and your net balance change since logging in.

These reality checks are designed to interrupt the flow-state that long sessions can create, giving you a regular prompt to decide whether you want to continue or call it a day.

Your choice of interval

Log in to your 98pkr account
Use your registered Pakistani mobile number and password to log in. If you have forgotten your password, use the account recovery option on the login page.
2
Go to Account Settings
Tap or click your account icon in the top right of the screen, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
3
Select "Responsible Gaming"
Within Account Settings, find the "Responsible Gaming" tab. All tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, cooling-off and self-exclusion — are listed here in one place.
4
Apply Your Chosen Limits
Select the tool you want, enter the relevant value or duration, and confirm. Restrictive changes (lower limits, exclusions) take effect immediately. An email confirmation is sent to your registered address.
5
Contact Support if You Need Help
If you want to apply self-exclusion or need immediate help, you can also contact 98pkr support directly at support@98pkr.click. We can apply restrictions manually from our end if needed.

Principles Behind Our Tools

Restrictions take effect immediately. On 98pkr, when you reduce a limit or apply a cooling-off or self-exclusion, it applies at once — not at the start of the next billing cycle or after a delay. There is no way for you or 98pkr staff to override an active restriction within its minimum window.

This is deliberately designed. Limits that can be lifted instantly under pressure are not real limits. The minimum windows exist to protect players at the exact moments when they are most vulnerable to making decisions they will regret.

98pkr's responsible gaming tools are available to every registered player regardless of their account tier, deposit history or VIP status. There is no premium version of these protections — they are standard for everyone because player wellbeing is a baseline obligation, not a feature.

What 98pkr Commits To
  • Never market to self-excluded players
  • Never refuse a responsible gaming request
  • Train support staff to recognise problem gambling signs
  • Strictly enforce 18+ age verification before withdrawals
  • Proactively monitor for problem gambling behavioural patterns

"Gambling should always be a choice you make freely, with money you can afford to lose, for the enjoyment it brings — not to escape stress, recover debts or fill time you're not comfortable with." — 98pkr Responsible Gaming Team

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling develops gradually. It doesn't always look like what people imagine. The following signs are widely recognised indicators that gambling may be becoming harmful. Be honest with yourself when reading them — and be honest with someone you trust if several of these apply to you.

1
Chasing Losses
Continuing to bet — often with increasing stake sizes — specifically to win back money you have already lost. This is one of the most common and most damaging patterns in problem gambling. The money is already gone; chasing it almost always makes the loss larger.
2
Betting More Than You Can Afford
Using money set aside for rent, household expenses, food, school fees or other essential costs to fund gambling. If the question "can I afford to lose this?" is being answered dishonestly, the threshold has been crossed.
3
Gambling to Escape or Cope
Using betting as a way to deal with stress, anxiety, family problems or financial pressure. When gambling stops being entertainment and starts being a coping mechanism, the pattern becomes self-reinforcing and very hard to break without external support.
4
Lying About Gambling
Hiding the amount of time or money spent on gambling from family members, minimising losses when asked, or feeling shame or anxiety about your betting activity. Secrecy is a strong signal that the activity has moved beyond healthy recreation.
5
Inability to Stop
Repeatedly trying to cut down or stop gambling and failing. Setting limits for yourself and breaking them. Feeling restless, irritable or preoccupied when you are not gambling. These are all signs that the behaviour has become compulsive rather than recreational.
6
Borrowing to Gamble
Taking loans — from family, friends, or financial institutions — to fund gambling, or selling personal possessions to generate betting funds. Gambling-related debt is one of the most serious consequences of problem gambling and is very difficult to recover from without stopping the behaviour.

If three or more of the above apply to you right now, please use the self-exclusion tool in your 98pkr account settings or contact us at support@98pkr.click. It takes two minutes and will be actioned immediately. There is no judgement involved — only support.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer honestly. This is for you, not for us — 98pkr does not record your responses.

1 of 5 — Have you ever felt the need to bet with increasing amounts of money to feel the same level of excitement?
2 of 5 — Have you ever returned the next day to try to win back money you lost the day before?
3 of 5 — Have you ever hidden your betting activity from family or close friends?
4 of 5 — Have you ever gambled with money meant for something else — bills, food, household expenses?
5 of 5 — Have you felt anxious, restless or irritable when you weren't able to bet?
Your responses suggest low-risk gambling behaviour. You appear to be gambling within healthy boundaries. Keep using 98pkr's deposit and session limits to maintain that balance. If things ever change, these tools are always there for you.
Some of your answers suggest gambling may be causing you difficulties. This doesn't mean you have a serious problem — but it does mean it's worth taking action now before the situation develops. Please consider setting a deposit limit, taking a cooling-off period, or reaching out to 98pkr support at support@98pkr.click. Acting early makes a real difference.

Responsible Gaming — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions Pakistani players most often ask about responsible gaming on 98pkr.

No — not within the minimum exclusion window. 98pkr enforces a minimum 6-month period on self-exclusions and this cannot be shortened regardless of the reason. After the minimum window has passed, you can contact support to discuss reinstatement — but even then, a review process applies before any account access is restored. This is by design: it protects you at the moment you are most likely to want to override your own decision.

Your balance is not affected by a cooling-off period. During cooling-off, you cannot deposit or place bets, but you can still log in and request a withdrawal of your real-money balance at any time. The funds remain yours throughout the entire cooling-off period and are available on demand.

Setting deposit or loss limits may affect whether you can claim certain deposit-based bonuses, since those bonuses require a minimum deposit that your limit might prevent. This is the correct and expected outcome — responsible gaming tools are not designed to be worked around. Your access to the platform, your ability to bet with existing balance, and your basic account rights are unaffected by having limits in place.

No — for account security and privacy reasons, limits and restrictions on a 98pkr account can only be set by the account holder. If you are concerned about a family member's gambling behaviour, the most effective approach is to encourage them to use the tools themselves or to contact support@98pkr.click to share your concerns. 98pkr can investigate accounts flagged by concerned parties and take action where evidence of harm is found.

Contact 98pkr support immediately at support@98pkr.click with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Marketing Complaint". This should not happen — when self-exclusion is applied, you are immediately removed from all marketing lists. If an email arrives in error, it may be due to a pre-scheduled send that was not cancelled in time. We take these reports seriously and will investigate and correct any system failure promptly.

98pkr's support team is trained to provide a compassionate first response and to apply any requested account restrictions immediately. For deeper support — counselling, therapy or structured intervention — we recommend players speak with healthcare professionals or community mental health resources available in Pakistan. Our support team can help you identify appropriate next steps. Reach out at support@98pkr.click — there is no judgement involved, only help.
