We take this seriously – these aren't just words on a page. Every tool described here is genuinely built into the 98game platform and available to you right now through your account settings.

The Basics

What Responsible Gaming Means at 98game

Responsible gaming is the idea that online gambling should be a form of entertainment that stays within your control – not something that controls you. At 98game, responsible gaming isn't a checkbox exercise. It's a genuine part of how the platform is designed and operated, because a player who stays in control is a player who keeps gaming fun for the long term.

Responsible gaming at 98game means a few things in practice. It means every player has access to tools that help them set limits on their spending, their time, and their access to the platform whenever they need them. It means the platform actively monitors patterns that might suggest a player is struggling and can intervene early. It means our support team knows how to have honest conversations about gambling without making you feel judged or embarrassed.

It also means being straight with players: gambling involves risk. You can win, but you can also lose. No strategy, system or betting approach guarantees a profit. The house edge exists on every casino game, and sports outcomes are unpredictable by nature. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not being honest with you.

The Golden Rule: Only ever deposit and bet money that you can genuinely afford to lose without it affecting your daily life, your family, or your financial obligations. If a loss would cause real problems, it's too much to bet.

Gaming is Entertainment

Treat 98game the same way you would treat a trip to the cinema or a cricket match ticket. It's something you pay for to enjoy. It's not an income source.

Set a Budget in Advance

Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you open the 98game app. Once that amount is spent, you're done for the session.

Play Within Time Limits

Long sessions increase risk. Set a time limit for yourself before you start and stick to it, regardless of whether you're winning or losing.

Never Chase Losses

Chasing losses – betting more to try to recover money you've already lost – is one of the most common and dangerous gambling behaviours. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment.

Platform Tools

Responsible Gaming Tools Available on 98game

Every one of these tools is live in your 98game account settings right now. No need to contact support to activate any of them – though support can also activate them for you if you prefer.

01
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your 98game account in a given period – daily, weekly or monthly. Once you hit your limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increases require a 24-hour cooling period. This asymmetry is intentional: making it easier to reduce your limit than to raise it keeps you in control when it matters.

02
Session Time Reminders

Set a session duration after which 98game will display a reminder that you've been playing for a set period of time. You choose the interval – 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or whatever suits you. The reminder shows your session time, your net result for the session, and gives you the option to continue or stop. It's a simple nudge that many players find genuinely useful for staying aware of time.

03
Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break without fully closing your account? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your 98game account for a set duration that you choose: 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom period. During the cooling-off period your account is completely inaccessible, no deposits can be made, and no bets can be placed. Marketing emails are paused during this time.

04
Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a more serious, longer-term tool for players who recognise that they need significant time away from 98game. A self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum of 6 months. The exclusion cannot be reversed during the selected period – no exceptions. All marketing from 98game stops immediately. When the exclusion period ends, re-registration requires contacting support and confirming you want to resume. Contact support at support@98game.biz to activate self-exclusion.

05
Reality Checks

Reality checks display a summary of your session at regular intervals during play. The pop-up shows how long you've been playing, how much you've wagered, and your net gain or loss for the session. It pauses the game briefly and requires you to click to continue, meaning you actively have to choose to keep playing rather than continuing passively. Many players find that simply seeing the numbers stated plainly changes their decision-making.

06
Direct Support Line

Sometimes the most useful thing is just being able to talk to someone. The 98game support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat and email. Support staff are trained to have responsible gaming conversations without making you feel embarrassed or judged. If you want to activate any of the tools above, or just want to talk about your gaming habits, contact us at support@98game.biz or via live chat.

Self-Check

Is Your Gaming Still in Control?

The questions below are a simple self-assessment tool. They're not a clinical diagnosis – they're just a way to prompt honest reflection about your gambling habits. Answer them honestly, for yourself, with no one watching.

This kind of check is worth doing periodically, not just if you already think there's a problem. Many people develop problematic gambling habits gradually and don't notice until the pattern is well established. A few minutes of honest reflection every month is a much better investment than dealing with the consequences of a gambling problem later.

Warning Signs

Signs That Gambling May Have Become a Problem

These are patterns that suggest gaming has moved from entertainment to something more concerning. Recognising them early makes it much easier to address the situation.

Betting With Essential Money

Using money meant for bills, rent, school fees or groceries to fund gambling sessions.

Chasing Losses Repeatedly

Feeling compelled to keep playing after losses to try to get back to even, rather than stopping as planned.

Hiding Gambling from Family

Keeping the amount you gamble or the frequency of sessions secret from family members or a spouse.

Mood Tied to Gambling Results

Feeling significantly depressed after losses or unusually elated after wins in a way that affects daily mood and functioning.

Losing Track of Time

Regularly playing for much longer than intended and losing track of hours during gaming sessions.

Borrowing to Gamble

Taking loans from family, friends, or financial services specifically to fund gambling activity.

Neglecting Relationships

Cancelling plans with family or friends to spend time gambling, or becoming irritable when interrupted during a session.

Needing Bigger Bets for the Same Thrill

Finding that the same stake amounts no longer feel exciting, and feeling the need to bet more and more to get the same feeling.

Failed Attempts to Stop

Deciding to quit or cut down on gambling but repeatedly finding yourself unable to follow through on that decision.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, please take it seriously. It doesn't mean you have a serious addiction – but it does mean your gaming deserves a closer look. Use one of the 98game tools above, take a break, and consider talking to someone you trust about it.

Child Protection

Preventing Underage Access to 98game

98game is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We take underage gambling prevention seriously and have several layers of protection in place to prevent minors from accessing the platform.

What 98game Does

98game requires date of birth confirmation during registration and may request CNIC verification – which confirms age – before processing any withdrawal. Accounts identified as belonging to minors are immediately closed and any deposited funds are returned to the payment source. Marketing is never directed at anyone below the age of 18.

What Parents and Guardians Can Do

If you share a device with young people in your household, here are practical steps to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms including 98game:

  • Do not save your 98game login details on shared devices.
  • Enable parental controls on your home internet router – most Pakistani internet providers (PTCL, Jazz, Zong) offer family filter options through their customer portals.
  • Log out of all gaming accounts after each session.
  • Keep your mobile phone password-protected if it has gaming apps installed.
  • Have an open conversation with young people in your household about online gambling risks.

If you believe a minor has created a 98game account, please contact support@98game.biz immediately. Include the account details if available. We will investigate and close the account without delay.

18+ Only

No person under the age of 18 may register, deposit, or place bets on 98game. This rule is enforced through registration checks, KYC verification, and ongoing account monitoring. There are no exceptions.

By registering on 98game you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. See our Terms and Conditions for the full eligibility requirements.

FAQ

Responsible Gaming – Common Questions

The most common questions Pakistani players ask about responsible gaming at 98game.

No. Self-exclusion is a firm commitment with a minimum period of 6 months. It cannot be reversed during the exclusion period under any circumstances – this is by design, because the value of self-exclusion as a responsible gaming tool depends entirely on it being reliable. When the exclusion period ends, you can contact 98game support to request reactivation. There will be a 7-day reflection period before the account is reopened, giving you one final opportunity to reconsider.

No. When a cooling-off period is active on your account, all 98game marketing communications – promotional emails, SMS offers, bonus notifications – are automatically paused for the duration of the cooling-off period. The same applies to self-exclusion: all marketing is stopped immediately and permanently for the duration of the exclusion.

If you are concerned about a family member's gambling, the most helpful thing you can do is have an honest, non-confrontational conversation with them about your concern. Avoid blaming language and focus on what you have observed rather than conclusions. Encourage them to use the responsible gaming tools available on 98game and, if the problem is serious, to consider speaking with a professional. You can also contact 98game support at support@98game.biz with your concerns and we will look into the account's activity and take appropriate action within our ability to do so.

No. Deposit limits only restrict the amount of new money you can add to your 98game account. They have no effect on your ability to withdraw your existing balance. If you have Rs 20,000 in your 98game account and set a daily deposit limit of Rs 1,000, you can still withdraw your full Rs 20,000 balance at any time through your normal Easypaisa, JazzCash or bank transfer withdrawal method.

Problem gambling and gambling disorder are recognised internationally as genuine mental health conditions by the WHO and major psychiatric organisations. The addictive patterns involved in problem gambling share neurological similarities with substance addiction. In Pakistan, awareness is growing and mental health professionals are increasingly equipped to help. If you believe you have a problem with gambling, speaking to a mental health professional is a valid and sensible course of action, not a sign of weakness. 98game supports every player who takes that step.
