Responsible Gaming – Play Safe on 98kr

Gaming on 98kr is meant to be enjoyable entertainment for adults in Pakistan. This page covers the tools, limits and guidance available to help every player stay in control of their time and PKR budget — because a good experience means knowing when to stop as much as knowing how to play.

18+ Adults Only

Gaming should be fun, not a financial solution. Set your budget before you play and stick to it.

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

Every registered 98kr account comes with these built-in controls. They are free to use, available at any time and most take effect immediately.

PKR Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits on your account in PKR. Reductions take effect immediately. Increases require a cooling-off period to give you time to reconsider.

Session Time Reminders

Choose how long you want to play before getting a reminder. When the timer runs out, a prompt appears so you can decide consciously whether to continue or log out.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily blocks deposits and gameplay for a defined period — from 24 hours up to several weeks — while keeping your account open.

Self-Exclusion

Request a temporary or indefinite exclusion that blocks login and deposit access immediately. During exclusion, you will not receive any promotional communications from 98kr.

Loss Limits

Cap how much you can lose in a set time period. Once the limit is reached your gaming session ends automatically for that period, helping you stay within a comfortable range.

Support Access

Our support team is available to help with account limits, exclusion requests and general guidance. Contact us any time at [email protected] if you have concerns about your gaming.

Important reminder: Gaming on 98kr is for entertainment only. It is not a way to earn income, recover debts or solve financial problems. Always play with money you can genuinely afford to lose.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming simply means playing within limits that work for you — limits on time, money and mindset. It is about enjoying slots, casino games, live casino, bingo and sports betting on 98kr as a leisure activity, not letting it take over other parts of your life.

For most players in Pakistan, a session on 98kr is straightforward fun — a few rounds of slots during a break, following the PSL cricket season with live sports betting, or trying your luck at a live casino table. That kind of casual, intentional play is exactly what the platform is designed for.

Problems can develop gradually over time. A player who starts with a fixed PKR budget and clear time limits may slowly stretch both without noticing. Responsible gaming is about putting structures in place before that drift happens, not only after issues arise.

All account tools described on this page are available to every registered 98kr player at no cost. You do not need to justify your reason for using them. Simply contact support or use your account settings to activate any limit or control.

The tools available on 98kr — deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion — are designed to work together. You can use one or all of them depending on what suits your situation. There is no stigma attached to using these features; many responsible, occasional players use deposit limits simply as a personal budgeting habit.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Most players never experience serious problems, but it is worth being aware of the early signs that gaming may be becoming less of a hobby and more of a concern. Check in with yourself honestly from time to time.

Early Signs

  • Spending more than your planned PKR budget regularly
  • Playing for longer than you intended most sessions
  • Thinking about gaming frequently when away from it
  • Chasing losses with bigger deposits

More Serious Signs

  • Borrowing money to fund gaming sessions
  • Hiding gaming activity from family members
  • Skipping work, studies or responsibilities to play
  • Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing

If you recognise any of the more serious signs in yourself, that is a signal to take action now — not later. Use the self-exclusion tool to take a complete break, or reach out to our support team. Taking a step back early is far easier than dealing with the fallout of prolonged problem gaming.

How is your current gaming pattern?

Low Risk — Within budget, time-limited sessions, no chasing losses

Moderate — Occasionally over budget, sessions running long

High Risk — Chasing losses, borrowing money, hiding activity

Using Your Account Tools

Your 98kr account includes several tools you can activate at any time. Here is how each one works in practice:

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap in PKR. Works across all payment methods including JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and bank transfer. Decreases are instant; increases have a review delay.

Session Reminders

Pick a session length — 30 mins, 1 hour, 2 hours. When time is up, a clear on-screen prompt appears. It does not force you out, but it makes a conscious decision necessary.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum PKR amount you are comfortable losing in a day, week or month. When that amount is reached, deposits and gameplay are automatically paused until the period resets.

Self-Exclusion

Full account access block — login, deposits and gameplay all suspended. Minimum period is 6 months. During exclusion all marketing communications from 98kr are stopped completely.

To activate any of these tools, log in to your account and visit your account settings, or contact our support team directly. Support requests for limit reductions and self-exclusion are treated as priority and actioned as quickly as possible.

You do not need to explain or justify using any of these tools. Requesting a limit or exclusion will never affect the status of your account balance or any pending withdrawal you have already submitted.

Setting a Gaming Budget

A gaming budget is the single most effective responsible gaming tool available, and it costs nothing to set up. Before you deposit, decide on a maximum PKR amount you are genuinely comfortable losing — not just a rough number in your head, but a real figure that accounts for your monthly income, bills and family obligations.

A practical approach that works well for many Pakistan players:

  • Decide your monthly entertainment budget — this is the total you spend on all leisure activities including gaming, cricket match tickets, streaming subscriptions and so on.
  • Assign a portion to gaming — for example, if your monthly entertainment budget is PKR 5,000, you might allocate PKR 1,000–1,500 to 98kr gaming sessions.
  • Set that amount as your monthly deposit limit in your account settings so the platform enforces it automatically.
  • Treat any losses as already spent — like the cost of a cinema ticket. The PKR you deposit for gaming should be considered entertainment spending, not an investment.
  • Never chase losses — if you have used your monthly allocation, that is the session over. Wait for next month rather than depositing extra to try to win back what you lost.

Winnings are great when they happen, but counting on them is where problems begin. The games on 98kr — from slots to live casino to bingo — are designed as entertainment with an inherent house edge. They are not a consistent income source, and treating them as one puts your finances at risk.

A good rule of thumb: if losing the amount you are about to deposit would cause you genuine financial stress, that amount is too high for this session. Reduce it until it is genuinely comfortable.

Self-Assessment

Take a moment to honestly answer these questions. There are no right or wrong responses — it is just a way of checking in with yourself about your current gaming habits.

1

Do you regularly spend more PKR on gaming than you originally planned when you opened the platform?

2

Have you ever missed a bill payment, skipped buying something important or borrowed money because of gaming spending?

3

Do you find yourself playing longer than intended — telling yourself "just one more game" repeatedly?

4

After a losing session, do you feel a strong urge to immediately deposit more PKR and try to win it back?

5

Have you hidden your gaming activity, deposit amounts or losses from family members or close friends?

6

Do you feel restless, irritable or low in mood on days when you have not been able to play?

7

Has anyone close to you — a family member, friend or colleague — expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, it is worth taking action now. Use the deposit limit or cooling-off tools in your account, or contact 98kr support. Addressing concerns early makes a real difference.

Protecting Minors

98kr is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to register or access the platform. Age verification is required as part of the registration process, and identity documents may be requested at any point during account verification.

If you share a device with younger family members — siblings, children or other minors in your household — please take these steps to prevent underage access:

  • Never save your 98kr login credentials in a shared browser's autofill or password manager.
  • Always log out fully after every session, particularly on shared phones or tablets.
  • Use a screen lock or app lock on your device so that others cannot access your browser or gaming apps without your PIN or biometric authentication.
  • Do not share your account details with anyone — including family members of legal age, as account sharing is against our Terms and Conditions.

If you have reason to believe a minor has accessed or registered an account on 98kr, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

How to Self-Exclude

Self-exclusion is the strongest account control available on 98kr. When you self-exclude, your account is locked — you cannot log in, deposit or play for the duration of the exclusion period. All marketing and promotional emails are also stopped immediately.

To request self-exclusion:

  • Log in to your 98kr account and go to your account settings, or
  • Contact our support team directly via email at [email protected] and request exclusion explicitly

State your preferred exclusion period when you make the request. The minimum self-exclusion period on 98kr is 6 months. You may also request an indefinite exclusion with no end date. During the exclusion window, requests to reactivate the account will not be processed until the original period has expired and a mandatory cooling-off review has been completed.

Please note: Self-exclusion on 98kr applies only to this platform. If you are concerned about gaming across multiple platforms, consider speaking to someone you trust about your overall habits and the broader steps you can take to manage them.

Any account balance remaining at the time of self-exclusion can be withdrawn in the normal way before the exclusion takes effect. Contact support to arrange this if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Deposit limits can be applied directly through your account settings once you are logged in. If you have trouble finding the option, our support team can guide you through it or set the limit on your behalf. Limit reductions take effect immediately.

Yes. Your PKR balance is not affected by self-exclusion. You can request a withdrawal of your remaining balance before the exclusion is processed. Contact support to arrange this and they will prioritise the withdrawal before locking the account.

A cooling-off period is a short-term break — typically between 24 hours and a few weeks — during which deposits and gameplay are suspended but your account remains open. Self-exclusion is a longer-term full block on account access, with a minimum duration of 6 months. Both stop marketing communications during the active period.

No. Deposit limit increases are subject to a mandatory review delay. This is intentional — it gives you time to think before a higher limit is applied. Reductions, however, are always immediate with no waiting period.

The most helpful first step is an honest, non-judgmental conversation. If the person is a registered 98kr player, encourage them to contact our support team directly to set limits or request self-exclusion. Account controls can only be applied by the account holder themselves for privacy and security reasons, but you can help by having the conversation and providing support throughout the process.
Play Smart. Stay in Control.
