Player Safety First
At 98ab, we believe online gaming should always be enjoyable — never a burden. This page outlines the tools, policies, and resources available to help every 98ab player stay in control and game responsibly.
Responsible gaming means approaching online betting and casino gaming as a form of entertainment — something you do because it's fun, not because you're trying to recover losses or earn a living from it. At 98ab, we've built this principle into the platform from the start, not as a regulatory checkbox but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player on the platform, whether they're betting on a PSL final from Karachi or spinning slots from Lahore.
Pakistan has a passionate cricket culture, and 98ab is proud to serve cricket fans who enjoy adding an extra layer of excitement to PSL, Pakistan internationals, and T20 tournaments through betting. But we're equally clear: gambling involves real money and real risk. Not everyone who gambles will win, and losses are a normal part of the experience. What isn't normal — and what 98ab actively works to prevent — is gambling that causes financial harm, stress, or addiction.
The tools described on this page are available to every 98ab account holder, free of charge, and can be activated at any time. You don't need to have a problem to use them. Setting a deposit limit before you start playing is simply smart, sensible gaming — and 98ab encourages it for everyone.
Golden rule: Only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. Your rent, groceries, and household bills come first. Gaming is entertainment — treat it like any other leisure expense.
Answer honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to several of these, it may be time to use 98ab's self-exclusion tools or speak to someone.
If you answered "yes" to two or more of the above, please activate self-exclusion via your 98ab account settings or contact the support team immediately.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in PKR on your 98ab account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately; increases take effect after a 24-hour cooling period.
Set a maximum session duration for your 98ab gaming activity. When the limit is reached, you'll receive a notification and the option to end the session. This helps prevent the "just one more game" pattern that can lead to extended unplanned play.
Take a short break from 98ab without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods can be set for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you cannot deposit or play. The cooling-off activates immediately upon request.
Permanently exclude yourself from 98ab for a minimum of 6 months. During self-exclusion, your account is suspended, you cannot log in or deposit, and you will not receive marketing communications. Self-exclusion is not reversible during the chosen period — this is intentional.
Cap the maximum amount you can lose on 98ab within a set period (daily, weekly, monthly). When the loss limit is hit, your account is automatically restricted from further play until the next period. Set this alongside deposit limits for double protection.
98ab's support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. If you are concerned about your own gaming or a family member's, contact us. Support staff can apply restrictions to your account on your behalf without you needing to navigate menus.
Visit 98ab Login and sign in with your registered credentials.
Click your username or account icon in the top-right corner, then select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu.
Choose from Deposit Limits, Session Limits, Loss Limits, Cooling-Off, or Self-Exclusion. Each tool has a dedicated section with clear instructions.
Enter your chosen limit or duration and confirm. Restrictions that reduce access (lower limits, cooling-off, self-exclusion) take effect immediately. Limit increases have a mandatory 24-hour delay.
If you cannot access your account or need immediate assistance setting restrictions, contact the 98ab support team via live chat or at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). The team can apply restrictions on your behalf 24/7.
98ab enforces a strict 18+ age requirement without exception. We take our responsibility to protect young people from gambling seriously. Here is how 98ab prevents underage access:
All new 98ab accounts require date of birth at registration. Documents including CNIC may be requested to confirm age before the account is fully activated.
Identity verification (KYC) is required before withdrawals are processed. This creates an additional checkpoint where age and identity are confirmed against official documents.
If 98ab determines at any stage that an account belongs to a person under 18, that account is closed immediately and any funds are handled in accordance with applicable law.
Parents and guardians in Pakistan are encouraged to use device-level parental control software and internet filters to prevent minors from accessing online gaming sites including 98ab.
If you believe gambling has become a problem for you or for someone close to you in Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, or anywhere else in Pakistan, please take action. The first step is the hardest one, but it matters.
98ab's responsible gaming team is reachable 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Contact us at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link) or via live chat on the platform. Our team can immediately suspend your account, set exclusions, or simply talk through the options available to you — all in confidence.
