Our Responsible Gaming Commitments

Six core principles that guide how 98apk protects every player on the platform.

Strict Age Verification

Every new 98apk account requires date-of-birth confirmation at sign-up. Full KYC identity checks — including CNIC verification — are completed before any withdrawal is processed. We do not allow any player under 21 to participate on the platform, no exceptions.

Deposit and Loss Limits

Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from their account dashboard. Loss limits can also be applied to prevent spending beyond your personal comfort zone during any given period. These limits take effect immediately — increases require a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before activation.

Session Time Controls

Set a maximum session duration that automatically logs you out when the time limit is reached. Reality-check notifications can also be enabled to display pop-up reminders at regular intervals — for example, every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — showing how long you have been playing and your net session balance.

Self-Exclusion Tools

If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, 98apk's self-exclusion tool lets you block access to your account for a defined period — 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During a self-exclusion period, your account is locked, all marketing communications are stopped, and you cannot reopen the account until the period expires. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.

Cool-Off / Take a Break

Not ready for full self-exclusion? The Take a Break option lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days with a single click. During this period your account is inaccessible and no marketing messages will be sent. The break activates immediately and cannot be cancelled once triggered.

Account Activity Monitoring

98apk's compliance team uses automated monitoring to detect unusual betting patterns, rapid deposit sequences, and signs of distressed play. Where these patterns are identified, our responsible gaming team may reach out proactively, apply temporary limits, or request that the player completes a responsible gaming assessment before continuing.

How to Self-Exclude on 98apk

Step-by-step process to activate self-exclusion on your account.

1
Log In to Your Account

Visit /98apk-login and access your player dashboard. Make sure you are logged in to the account you want to exclude.

2
Go to Responsible Gaming Settings

Navigate to Account Settings and select the Responsible Gaming tab. All self-help tools are grouped together in this section.

3
Select Self-Exclusion Period

Choose from 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Read the confirmation notice carefully before proceeding.

4
Confirm Your Decision

Enter your account password to confirm. The exclusion takes effect within 24 hours. Any pending withdrawals of legitimate winnings will still be processed.

5
Contact Support If Needed

If you are unable to access your account to activate self-exclusion, contact our support team directly at [email protected] and our team will action the exclusion on your behalf within 24 hours.

Important: Once a self-exclusion is active, 98apk will make all reasonable efforts to enforce it. However, it is your responsibility to avoid creating new accounts during an exclusion period. Any account opened in violation of an active self-exclusion will be closed immediately and any balance forfeited.

Limit Controls Reference

All available account limits and how they work.

Loss Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly — caps net losses per period. Once reached, further bets are blocked until the period resets.

Session Time Limit Automatic logout after 30 min / 1 hr / 2 hrs / 4 hrs. Configurable per session.

Tip: Setting a deposit limit before you start playing — even a generous one — is one of the most effective ways to ensure gambling stays within your entertainment budget. Players in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and across Pakistan have found this simple step makes a significant difference.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising early indicators is the first step toward getting back in control.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended or can comfortably afford.
Chasing losses by placing larger bets to recover money already lost.
Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, family pressure, or financial difficulties.
Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling.
Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or daily tasks because of gambling activity.
Feeling irritable, restless, or anxious when not gambling or when trying to stop.
Borrowing money, selling assets, or taking loans specifically to fund gambling.
Repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling on your own.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, we strongly encourage you to use 98apk's self-exclusion tools and reach out to our responsible gaming support team. You are not alone, and help is available.

Additional Player Protection Tools

Built-in features that give you greater control over your 98apk experience.

Game History Transparency

Your complete game history — every bet, spin, and cricket wager — is available in your account dashboard at any time. Full transparency over your activity helps you stay aware of patterns before they become problems.

Marketing Opt-Out

You can opt out of all bonus offers, promotional SMS messages, and email campaigns at any time from your account settings. Players who have set responsible gaming limits are automatically removed from high-value bonus targeting lists.

Third-Party Access Block

If you need someone else — such as a family member or trusted guardian — to request an account restriction or self-exclusion on your behalf, 98apk's support team will action such requests upon verified identity confirmation.

Responsible Gaming Chat

Our support agents are trained in responsible gaming conversations. If you reach out via live chat mentioning concerns about your gambling habits, you will be routed to a specialist agent who can walk you through all available tools.

Spend Summaries

Request a weekly or monthly spend summary email that breaks down your total deposits, withdrawals, bets, and net gaming activity. Having this data in clear PKR figures is a practical tool for budgeting your entertainment spend.

Account Verification Gate

Unverified accounts are subject to strict deposit and withdrawal caps. Completing full KYC not only unlocks higher limits but also ensures our team can quickly action any responsible gaming request you make in the future.

Understanding Each Tool in Detail

A plain-English breakdown of what each responsible gaming feature actually does.

Deposit Limits

A deposit limit prevents you from funding your 98apk account beyond a set amount in a given time window. For example, setting a daily deposit limit of PKR 2,000 means that once you have deposited a total of Rs 2,000 in a 24-hour rolling window via JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, or any other supported method, no further deposits will be accepted until the window resets. You can lower your limit at any time and it applies immediately. Raising a limit triggers a mandatory 7-day waiting period — this delay is intentional and designed to prevent impulsive decisions from overriding considered ones.

Loss Limits

A loss limit caps how much you can lose in a single day, week, or month. Unlike a deposit limit — which controls incoming funds — a loss limit directly tracks your net gaming losses and stops you from betting further once that threshold is crossed. This is particularly useful for cricket betting sessions where stakes can escalate quickly during live PSL or international match markets. Once the loss limit is reached for the period, the platform will not accept further bets from that account until the period resets.

Session Time Limits & Reality Checks

Time can pass quickly when you are engaged in live casino games like Andar Bahar or Mini Baccarat. Session time limits automatically end your session after a duration you choose, requiring you to actively log back in to continue — creating a natural pause point. Reality check notifications are a lighter alternative: a pop-up appears at your chosen interval (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes) showing how long you have been playing and your net balance for that session, so you can make an informed decision about whether to continue.

Self-Exclusion — The Full Picture

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available and is designed for players who recognise that gambling has become or is becoming a problem. When you self-exclude on 98apk, your account is suspended for the chosen period, your balance is preserved (pending withdrawal requests for legitimate pre-exclusion winnings will be processed), all promotional communications cease, and the account cannot be reopened during the exclusion window — not even by contacting support and requesting an early lift. For permanent self-exclusion, the closure is irreversible. We take this commitment seriously because we understand how important it is for players who genuinely need this protection to have it enforced reliably. 98apk's responsible gaming programme is aligned with the standards set by our internationally recognised gaming licence authority.

Protecting Minors — Parental Controls

98apk takes underage gambling extremely seriously. While our age verification processes are robust, we also encourage parents and guardians to take proactive steps to prevent minors from accessing any gambling platform — including 98apk — on shared household devices.

We recommend using reputable filtering and monitoring software to restrict access to gambling websites. Many internet service providers in Pakistan also offer household-level content filtering at the router level. Setting up device-level parental controls on shared smartphones, tablets, and computers is a practical and effective additional layer of protection.

If you suspect a minor has created a 98apk account, contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate urgently, close any confirmed underage account, and ensure no funds are retained from such accounts.
