Gaming Should Always Be a Choice, Not a Habit You Cannot Break
At 98s, we genuinely believe that responsible gaming is not just a legal checkbox — it is a core part of how we run this platform. Every feature, from the lobby to the deposit page, has been designed with the understanding that our players are real people with real budgets, real families, and real responsibilities outside of gaming.
Pakistan has a growing online gaming community, and with that comes the importance of making sure people engage with platforms in a healthy way. Whether you are following a big PSL match, playing a few rounds of slots during a break, or trying the live casino tables on a weekend, the experience should always sit comfortably within your means — both financially and time-wise.
The tools on this page are available to every registered 98s player, free of charge, directly through your account settings. You do not need to explain yourself or justify your choices to use them. They are there because we want you to be in control at all times.
If you ever feel that gaming is becoming more than entertainment — if it is affecting your sleep, your work, your relationships, or your finances — please use the tools below or reach out to our support team. There is no judgement here, only practical help.
Gaming at 98s is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. Age verification is mandatory at registration and before first withdrawal. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register an account on this platform.
Quick Self-Check
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If several answers concern you, consider using the tools below or speaking to someone.
Do I sometimes spend more on gaming than I originally planned?
Have I ever tried to win back money I lost by depositing more?
Does gaming ever affect my work, studies, or time with family?
Do I feel irritable or restless when I am not able to play?
If you answered yes to any of the above, consider setting a deposit limit or taking a break. Our support team is always available to help.
Built-In Tools to Keep You in Control
Every one of these tools is available inside your 98s account at no cost. You can activate, adjust, or review them at any time through your account settings.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum PKR amount you can deposit per day, per week, or per month. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Session Time Reminders
Choose a session length — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours — and 98s will display an on-screen reminder when that time has passed. The reminder shows you how long you have been playing and gives you the option to continue or log out. Small nudges go a long way.
Take a Break
Need a short step back? You can set a temporary cooling-off period from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this time you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. The break ends automatically when the period expires — no action needed from you.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion closes your account and blocks access for the chosen duration. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. This is the most comprehensive option and is recommended if you feel gaming is significantly affecting your daily life.
Reality Checks
Reality check notifications appear at set intervals during your session, showing your total net gaming activity — what you deposited, what you won or lost, and how long you have been playing. Seeing the numbers in plain view helps you make clear-headed decisions.
Support Chat
Our support team is available around the clock. If you want to talk through your gaming habits, ask about any of the tools above, or simply need help adjusting your limits, reach out via live chat or email. Every conversation is handled with complete discretion.
How to Set Your Limits on 98s

-

Review Regularly
Your life circumstances and budget can change. We recommend reviewing your responsible gaming settings every few months to make sure they still reflect what works best for you.
Practical Tips for Smarter Gaming
Beyond the built-in account tools, there are some straightforward habits that make a real difference to how gaming fits into your life. These are not rules — they are just things that experienced, self-aware players tend to do.
Decide in advance how much PKR you are comfortable spending during a session — and treat it as you would any other entertainment expense. If you hit that amount, log out. Do not use rent money, savings, or borrowed funds to top up.
It is easy to lose track of time when you are in the middle of an exciting live casino session or following a Cricket-themed slot. Set a timer on your phone as a backup to the session reminders on the platform. When it goes off, finish the current round and take a break.
The single most common pattern that leads to problematic gaming is chasing losses — depositing more to try to win back what you lost. It rarely works and almost always makes things worse. If you have had a bad session, close the tab and do something else. The games will still be there tomorrow.
If gaming is causing stress in your household or you are keeping your activity hidden from family, that is a sign worth paying attention to. Speaking to a trusted friend or family member about your gaming habits is one of the most effective things you can do.
Our Responsible Gaming Commitments
These are not just words on a page. Here is what 98s actively does to make sure gaming on our platform remains a positive experience for every player in Pakistan.
Strict Age Verification
Every player must verify their age before their first withdrawal. We cross-check identity documents and take underage access seriously. If we identify an underage account, it is closed immediately and all funds returned.
No Pressure Promotions
Our promotions are designed to add value, not to pressure you into depositing more than you planned. Bonus terms are written clearly, and you can always opt out of promotional communications through your account settings.
Player Wellbeing Monitoring
Our team monitors for patterns that may suggest a player is struggling — such as rapid consecutive deposits or unusually long sessions. Where these patterns appear, we may proactively reach out to check in with the player.
Instant Deposit Limit Reductions
When you lower your deposit limit, the change takes effect immediately — not after a delay. This is intentional. We want you to be able to act decisively when you decide to pull back, without any window for second-guessing.
Transparent Game Information
Every game in the 98s lobby displays its RTP (return to player) percentage and volatility rating. We want you to understand the games you are playing — including the mathematical reality that the house has a built-in edge over time.
Dedicated Support Team
Our support team is trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with care. Whether you need help setting up a limit, want to discuss a self-exclusion, or just want to talk through something, we are available 24/7 via live chat and email.
