Six pillars that define pak98's approach to responsible gaming — built into the Platform from day one, not added as an afterthought.
Every new pak98 account is subject to CNIC-based age verification before any deposit or gameplay is permitted. We cross-check identity data at registration and during KYC review. Accounts where age cannot be confirmed are suspended without delay, and any funds held are frozen pending investigation.
pak98 allows you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits and loss limits directly from your account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit is instant; increasing a limit requires a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the higher limit becomes active.
If you feel you need a break from gaming, pak98 offers self-exclusion periods of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent exclusion. During a self-exclusion period, your account is locked, all marketing communications are suspended, and any attempt to create a new account using the same CNIC is blocked.
pak98 allows you to set session time reminders that alert you when you have been playing continuously for a period you choose — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours, for example. You can also set a hard session time limit that automatically logs you out after a specified duration, regardless of the game you are playing.
pak98 displays your current session duration and net win/loss position in real time throughout every gaming session. We believe transparency about your actual spend is one of the most effective tools for keeping gaming enjoyable. No hidden counters, no obscured balances — what you see is what it is.
pak98's player welfare team is available around the clock, every day of the year including Pakistani public holidays. Whether you want to set a limit, request a self-exclusion, or just talk to someone about your gaming habits, our support team can be reached via live chat or at [email protected].
pak98 puts the controls in your hands. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the tools available to every registered player.
Access all responsible gaming controls through the Account Settings panel after your pak98 Login. All tools are available in one place — no need to contact support to set a deposit limit or cooling-off period.
Choose daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps and loss limits in PKR. You can also set a wager limit per individual bet. All limits take immediate effect. Increases are subject to a 7-day mandatory review period in line with our licensing requirements.
Need a short break without a full self-exclusion? pak98 offers cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is suspended for gaming purposes but your funds remain accessible for withdrawal.
For longer breaks, activate a formal self-exclusion from within your account or by contacting support. Choose from 1 month up to permanent exclusion. Your CNIC is flagged so no new pak98 account can be created during the exclusion period — protecting you even if you change devices.
Gaming is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income or solve financial problems. The following behaviours may indicate that gaming has stopped being fun and started becoming harmful. If you recognise any of these in yourself, please use pak98's self-exclusion tools or contact our support team.
Answer honestly. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a starting point for reflection. If you answer "Yes" to two or more questions, we strongly encourage you to speak with our welfare team or use pak98's self-exclusion tools.
pak98 operates under an international gaming licence that imposes specific, enforceable obligations on us in the area of responsible gaming. These obligations are not optional extras — they are conditions of our licence, and compliance is monitored by our licensing authority on an ongoing basis. Our responsible gaming framework is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect best practice in player protection.
As part of this framework, pak98 trains all customer-facing staff to recognise indicators of problem gambling and to respond appropriately — whether that means proactively reaching out to a player whose behaviour has changed, applying a precautionary account restriction, or facilitating an immediate self-exclusion request. Our welfare team in particular is trained to handle these conversations with sensitivity and without judgment.
Pakistan's cultural and regulatory context makes robust age verification especially important. pak98 applies a strict 21 years and older standard across the entire Platform, without exception. This standard applies to account registration, deposit processing, bonus participation, and all gaming activity. CNIC verification is mandatory at registration, and additional verification checks are conducted during the KYC review process. Players who cannot verify their age are permanently barred from the Platform, and any winnings accrued prior to a failed age verification check are forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
pak98 also maintains a minor protection register. Any CNIC that has been associated with a failed underage verification is permanently blocked from registering a new pak98 account, regardless of any subsequent age-related claims. We take this seriously — underage gambling causes real harm, and pak98 has zero tolerance for it.
pak98 is operated under an international gaming licence, which requires us to meet independently audited standards in responsible gaming, player fund protection, and fair play. Our responsible gaming obligations under that licence include maintaining self-exclusion systems, offering deposit and loss limit tools, training staff in problem gambling recognition, and participating in cross-operator self-exclusion schemes where applicable. Details of the licensing authority under which pak98 operates are available on request from our support team at [email protected].
A core message that pak98 communicates to all Pakistani players is this: gaming is a form of entertainment, and the house edge means that over time, most players will spend more than they win. This is the mathematical reality of all casino games and sports betting. pak98 strongly discourages any player from viewing gaming as a source of income, a financial strategy, or a way to recover money already lost. Set a budget before you start, treat that budget as the cost of entertainment, and stop when the budget is gone — just as you would with a cinema ticket or a meal out in Faisalabad.
If you feel your gaming has become problematic, pak98 encourages you to reach out — to us directly, or to a trusted family member or friend. You can contact pak98's welfare team at any time via live chat or at [email protected]. Our team can apply account restrictions immediately, activate self-exclusion, and provide guidance on next steps. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out — even if you just want to talk through your gaming habits, we are here.
Pakistan's most trusted gaming platform — licensed, responsible, and built around your welfare. When gaming is fun, we are here for it.
