18+ Adults Only

Responsible Gaming at pk98
Play Smart. Play Safe.

pk98 is Pakistan's premier online casino and betting platform — and we take our responsibility to players seriously. Gaming and cricket betting should be entertaining, not harmful. This page outlines the tools, policies, and resources pk98 provides to help you stay in control.

pk98 is strictly for adults aged 18 and above.

Age verification is carried out at registration and may be requested again at the withdrawal stage. Any account found to have been opened by or used by a person under 18 will be immediately closed, all bets declared void, and any balance forfeited. If you are a parent or guardian and suspect a minor has accessed pk98 using your device or credentials, contact our 24/7 support via live chat immediately.

Our Responsible Gaming Tools

Built into every pk98 account — no charge, no waiting

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked for that period. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Cap the total net amount you can lose within a set period. When your loss threshold is reached, access to real-money games is suspended for the remainder of the period regardless of your remaining balance.

Session Timers

Set a maximum continuous play duration. pk98 will display a notification when your session time is reached and prompt you to take a break. You can also set reality-check pop-ups at intervals during your session.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from pk98 for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot deposit, place bets, or access casino games. Existing pending withdrawals will still be processed.

Self-Exclusion

Exclude yourself from pk98 for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Self-exclusion is the most serious tool — once activated, it cannot be reversed during the chosen period. We take this seriously and enforce it strictly.

Support Access

Our 24/7 English-language live chat team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns sensitively and non-judgementally. You can request any of the above tools through support if you cannot locate them in account settings.

How to Use pk98 Responsible Gaming Tools

Step-by-step guide for activating limits and self-exclusion on your pk98 account

Setting Deposit & Loss Limits

Log in to your pk98 account, navigate to Account Settings, and select the "Responsible Gaming" tab. Choose your preferred limit type (deposit or loss), select the period (daily / weekly / monthly), and enter the PKR amount. Confirm the change. Reductions apply immediately. Increases have a 7-day reflection period before taking effect — this is intentional and non-negotiable.

Contact 24/7 live chat if you need help locating these settings on mobile.
Activating Self-Exclusion

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion. Select your exclusion duration — options range from 6 months to permanent. Read the confirmation notice carefully, then confirm. Once confirmed, your account access is suspended within minutes. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets for the full exclusion period. Marketing communications are also suspended.

If you need immediate self-exclusion and cannot log in, contact live chat directly — our team can apply it for you.
Session Timers & Reality Checks

In Account Settings → Responsible Gaming, enable Session Timers and set your preferred maximum session length in minutes. You can also activate Reality Check notifications, which display a pop-up at your chosen interval (e.g., every 30 minutes) reminding you of the time elapsed and your net win/loss for the session. These pop-ups require acknowledgement before play continues.

We recommend setting reality-check intervals before long PSL live betting sessions.
Taking a Cooling-Off Break

If you want a short break without committing to full self-exclusion, use the Cooling-Off feature. Choose 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, your pk98 account is active for withdrawal purposes only — you cannot deposit, bet, or access casino games. After the cooling-off period expires, your account automatically resumes normal access. You can extend a cooling-off period before it expires, but not shorten it.

Cooling-off is a good first step if you feel your gaming habits need a pause.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Gambling is a form of entertainment — when it is working the way it should, it is fun, social, and manageable. Most pk98 players bet on PSL, play a few slots, or enjoy the live casino within a budget they are comfortable with, and that is the experience we want to provide.

But for some people, gambling can become a problem. It happens gradually, and often people do not notice until the impact is already significant — on finances, on relationships, on mental health. At pk98, we believe that acknowledging this reality honestly is part of operating a responsible platform.

Problem gambling does not discriminate. It can affect anyone across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, or any other city — regardless of income, background, or how long they have been betting. The most important thing is to recognise the warning signs early and take action.

If you are concerned about your own gambling habits — or those of someone close to you — please reach out to pk98 support. Our team is trained to point you towards the right tools and information without judgement.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Ask yourself honestly whether any of these apply to your current gambling behaviour:

  • Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can comfortably afford
  • Gambling with money meant for essential expenses — rent, food, utility bills, school fees
  • Chasing losses — continuing to bet to try to recover money already lost
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity
  • Gambling interfering with work, studies, or important family responsibilities
  • Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or difficult feelings rather than for entertainment
Is Your Gaming Still Under Control?

You set a budget before you start and stick to it, win or lose

You treat losses as the cost of entertainment, not a debt to be recovered

You can stop playing whenever you want, without feeling compelled to continue

Gambling does not affect your sleep, relationships, or daily responsibilities

You would be comfortable telling family members exactly how much you bet

If you answered "no" to any of the above, consider using one of pk98's responsible gaming tools or speaking to our support team.

Protecting Minors

pk98 enforces an 18+ age restriction at the registration stage and may request documentary proof of age at any time, including before processing a withdrawal. We use a combination of age declaration at sign-up and verification document checks to prevent underage access.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians who use pk98 on shared devices to take steps to prevent minors from accessing the platform. Practical measures include:

Device-Level Controls

Use parental control features built into Android and iOS to restrict access to browser-based gambling platforms on shared family devices.

Secure Your Credentials

Never share your pk98 username or password with anyone, including family members. Do not allow browsers to save your pk98 login credentials on shared devices.

Log Out After Every Session

Always log out of pk98 when you finish playing, especially on mobile phones that other family members may have access to.

Open Conversations

Having honest conversations with teenagers about gambling risks is one of the most effective preventive measures. pk98 supports parental involvement in this topic.

If you discover that a minor has accessed pk98 using your account, contact live chat support immediately. We will take appropriate action to close the session, review activity, and assist you in securing your account.

pk98's Responsible Gaming Commitments

What we commit to as a platform — not just a legal checklist

Responsible gaming at pk98 is not just a page we are required to have — it is a set of operating principles that shape how we build the platform and how our support team is trained. Our commitments to Pakistani players are:

  • We will never market gambling as a way to make money. pk98 is an entertainment platform. Our promotions reflect that.
  • We will not target advertising at people showing signs of problem gambling. Our marketing practices are reviewed regularly.
  • We will make responsible gaming tools easy to find and use, not buried in menus or behind multiple confirmation steps.
  • We will honour self-exclusion immediately and not send promotional material to self-excluded users.
  • We will train our support team to handle responsible gaming enquiries with empathy and without judgement.
  • We will enforce the 18+ age restriction strictly and act swiftly on any evidence of underage access.
  • We will be honest about the odds. The house always has an edge; we do not pretend otherwise.

If you believe pk98 has failed any of the above commitments in your experience, we want to know. Please contact our support team and raise your concern — we take all such feedback seriously.
