Betting should be fun — a way to enjoy Pakistan cricket, PSL matches and live sports alongside other entertainment. When it stops being enjoyable, that's when our tools and support resources are here to help you stay in control.
At 98prk, we believe that responsible gambling is not just a regulatory checkbox — it is a genuine commitment to the well-being of every player on our platform. Whether you are following the Pakistan national cricket team through an ICC tournament, watching PSL fixtures unfold, or spinning slots between matches, the experience should remain enjoyable and firmly within your personal limits.
Gambling involves real financial risk. The house always maintains a mathematical edge, and no betting strategy can reliably guarantee a profit over the long run. Players across Pakistan — from Karachi to Lahore, Islamabad to Peshawar — should treat any funds placed on the platform as entertainment spending, not as a source of income or a way to recover financial losses.
98prk provides a comprehensive suite of player protection tools directly within your account settings. These tools are free to use, take effect quickly and are designed so that you remain in control of your gambling at all times.
Legal note for Pakistani players: Pakistan has restrictions on gambling under the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. Players are responsible for independently verifying that their participation is permitted under applicable local law. This page does not constitute legal advice.
Every tool listed below is accessible directly from your account settings. They are free, effective and — for cooling-off and self-exclusion — cannot be reversed until the period you chose has fully elapsed.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 98prk account in PKR. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time — increases take effect only after a mandatory cooling-off delay.
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a set period. When your losses reach the threshold you have chosen, your account is automatically blocked from further wagering until the period expires. This tool is especially useful during high-excitement events like ICC finals or PSL knockouts.
Set a maximum session duration after which you are automatically logged out. You will receive an on-screen reminder when you are approaching your limit so you can make a conscious choice about whether to continue. Taking regular breaks is one of the simplest habits that supports healthy gambling behaviour.
Take a short break from gambling by activating a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, one week or one month. During this time your account is suspended for wagering purposes. The period cannot be shortened once activated — this is a deliberate safeguard, not a technical restriction.
If you feel that gambling has become a problem, you can self-exclude your account for a minimum of six months or up to five years. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended, marketing communications are stopped and your details are flagged to prevent re-registration. This is a serious tool for serious situations.
Enable periodic on-screen pop-ups that display how long you have been playing in your current session and your net win/loss position. Reality checks interrupt the flow of play intentionally — they are a proven nudge that helps players maintain perspective and make informed decisions about whether to continue.
If gambling is no longer enjoyable and is negatively affecting your finances, relationships or mental health, self-exclusion is the right step. Here is how to activate it quickly.
Sign in to your 98prk account from any device. Self-exclusion can be activated at any time — 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including during live match events.
Navigate to your account settings and select the "Responsible Gambling" section. All player protection tools, including self-exclusion, are grouped here for easy access.
Choose a self-exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or permanent exclusion. Read the confirmation notice carefully — this action cannot be reversed during the selected period.
Confirm your choice. Your account will be suspended immediately. Marketing emails and promotional notifications will be stopped. You will receive a confirmation to your registered email address.
If you are unable to access your account settings or need immediate assistance, contact our support team via live chat — available 24/7, with agents who can assist in both English and Urdu.
Answering "yes" to several of the questions below may indicate that your gambling habits deserve closer attention. This is not a clinical assessment — it is a starting point for honest self-reflection.
If several of these resonate with you, we strongly encourage you to activate self-exclusion, speak with our support team, or reach out to a professional support organisation for guidance.
Every limit and protection tool on 98prk is designed so that reducing or restricting your activity always takes effect immediately, while any increase is subject to a mandatory waiting period.
Choose any one or all three timeframes. The PKR amount you enter is the maximum that can be deposited in that period. Lowering your cap takes effect instantly; raising it requires a 24-hour delay.
Set the highest single-bet stake you are permitted to place in PKR. This is useful for players who want to prevent impulsive high-stakes wagers during high-tension matches or live casino rounds.
Set a hard session time limit from 30 minutes up to 8 hours. When your session reaches the limit, you are automatically logged out. Re-login is possible, but the interruption encourages a genuine break.
Choose a break of 1 day, 2 days, 1 week or 1 month. Your balance is preserved and withdrawals can still be processed during a cooling-off period, but deposits and wagers are blocked entirely.
98prk operates a strict adults-only policy. No person under the age of 18 — or under the higher minimum age required by the operator's licensing jurisdiction — is permitted to register or use the platform under any circumstances. This is non-negotiable.
Every new account is subject to age verification as part of the KYC (Know Your Customer) process. Accounts cannot be fully activated until identity and age have been confirmed using a valid government-issued document — such as a Pakistani CNIC or passport. Deposits and withdrawals are also subject to ongoing verification checks.
If you share a device with younger family members in your household — whether in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or anywhere else in Pakistan — we strongly recommend using third-party parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites. Many freely available tools allow parents to block specific categories of websites on shared devices and family networks.
If you believe that someone under the age of 18 has accessed or registered on 98prk, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or at [email protected]. We will investigate and take immediate action, including closing the account and forfeiting any associated funds.
Age alone does not determine lawful participation. Even for adults, local laws in Pakistan may restrict gambling. Players are responsible for ensuring their participation complies with applicable law in their jurisdiction. This is not legal advice.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with gambling-related harm, reaching out for support is the most important step. Our team is available 24/7, and professional support organisations exist to help.
Our support team is available around the clock via live chat on the platform. Agents can assist in both English and Urdu. For responsible gambling queries, account restrictions or self-exclusion assistance, live chat is the fastest route.
For non-urgent responsible gambling queries, account closure requests or formal complaints, email us at [email protected]. Responses are typically provided within 24 hours.
International responsible gambling organisations such as GamCare and Gamblers Anonymous operate support programmes and helplines. We encourage any player experiencing gambling harm to consult professional support resources available in their region.
A note on support in Pakistan: Formal problem-gambling helplines specific to Pakistan are limited at present. If gambling is causing serious harm to your mental health or financial wellbeing, we encourage you to speak with a trusted family member, a general mental health counsellor, or a welfare support service in your city — whether that is Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan or Peshawar.
98prk support agents can provide responsible gambling tool activation, account suspension and referral information. They are not trained counsellors and cannot provide professional mental health advice.
Responsible gambling is largely about forming sensible habits before they become necessary. The following practical guidelines are recommended for all players on 98prk.
Decide in advance how much PKR you are comfortable spending during a session and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment — not as an investment you expect to recover. Use the deposit limit tool in your account to make this commitment automatic rather than relying on willpower alone.
Losing streaks are a normal part of gambling. The impulse to place a larger bet to "get even" is one of the most reliable warning signs of developing problem gambling. If you find yourself thinking this way, close the session and take a break — even a short one helps reset your perspective.
Avoid gambling as a way to cope with stress, boredom, anxiety or financial pressure. If you notice that the motivation to log in is driven by negative emotions rather than genuine entertainment — for instance, turning to 98prk during a frustrating day rather than to enjoy a PSL match — that is a signal worth paying attention to.
Use the session time limit and reality check features built into your account. Step away regularly, especially during long live betting events. Physical breaks help restore perspective and reduce the risk of impulsive decision-making driven by the heat of a live match.
Problem gambling often develops in secrecy. Talking openly with a trusted friend or family member about your gambling habits — how much time and money you spend — creates natural accountability and makes it easier to recognise when things are moving in the wrong direction.
Responsible gambling tools are built into every 98prk account. Set your limits, stay in control, and enjoy cricket betting, live casino and sports markets the way they are meant to be enjoyed — as entertainment, within your means.
18+ only, or the higher minimum required by the operator/license jurisdiction. Gambling involves financial risk. Local laws may restrict participation. Please play responsibly.
