Gaming on 98f should be something you enjoy — a way to catch the excitement of a PSL match, spin a few slots, or try your luck in live casino. It works best when you treat it as entertainment with a set budget, not as a way to earn money or recover losses. This page explains how to keep it that way.
Six core pillars of responsible gaming built into the 98f experience
Before every session, decide exactly how much PKR you are comfortable spending. Whether you are betting on a T20 match or spinning slots, treat that amount as your entertainment budget — not as capital to grow. Once it is gone, the session ends.
Set a time limit before you open the platform. Long sessions can cause you to lose track of how much you have spent and make decisions you would not normally make. Take regular breaks — step away from the screen, especially after a winning streak or a losing run.
Any 98f player can request a self-exclusion at any time by contacting the support team. During a self-exclusion period, the platform will not process deposits or accept bets from the excluded account. This tool is there for anyone who feels gaming is getting out of hand.
98f is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. Age is verified during account registration and withdrawal processing. If we identify that an underage person has created an account, it will be closed immediately and any balance returned to the depositing payment method.
A losing session is a normal part of gaming — it happens to everyone. The danger point is when you start placing larger bets or depositing more PKR to try and recover what you lost. This pattern rarely ends well and is one of the clearest signs that gaming is no longer just entertainment.
If gaming is affecting your relationships, your work, your sleep or your daily finances, that is a sign it has crossed the line from entertainment to a problem. 98f encourages any player who reaches that point to take a break, talk to someone they trust, and use the self-exclusion tool.
If you answer yes to two or more of these questions, it may be worth taking a break or contacting 98f support to discuss your options.
Do you spend more PKR on gaming than you originally planned?
Do you play to escape stress, anxiety or problems in your daily life?
Have you borrowed money to fund your gaming sessions?
Do you feel irritable or restless when you are not able to play?
Have family members or friends expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming?
Do you chase losses by placing bigger bets or depositing more to try to win back what you lost?
Need to talk? Contact the 98f support team through the platform at any time to request a self-exclusion, account cooling-off period, or just to discuss your gaming habits.

Responsible gaming means playing online — whether that is cricket betting during a PSL match, spinning slots, playing fish games or joining a live casino table — within limits that you have set for yourself in advance. The key word is control. When you are in control of how much you spend and how long you play, gaming stays enjoyable. When that control slips, it can start affecting other parts of your life.
98f is built as an entertainment platform. Every game and every bet carries a house edge, which means that over time, the platform will always have a mathematical advantage. There is nothing unfair about this — it is how every legal online gaming platform operates worldwide. Understanding this is the foundation of responsible gaming. You play for the enjoyment of the experience, not as a reliable income stream.
The reality is that most players who come to 98f to watch the odds shift on a T20 fixture, try a bonus round in a slot, or compete in a live table game have a perfectly good time and walk away within their budget. Responsible gaming tools and guidance are here for the minority of players who find it harder to stay within those natural limits.
The single most effective thing you can do before opening 98f is decide your budget for the session. This should be an amount of PKR you are genuinely comfortable losing — because losing is always possible, and planning for it removes the sting when it happens.
Deposits on 98f can be made in PKR via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer and mobile wallets. The ease and speed of mobile payments in Pakistan makes it important to be extra deliberate about deposit amounts — it takes seconds to top up, so the discipline of pre-deciding your budget matters more here than it might on slower payment systems.
Time passes quickly when you are in the middle of a live cricket betting session or on a run of bonus rounds in a slot game. It is easy to look up and realise two or three hours have gone by. Setting a time limit before you start is just as important as setting a PKR budget.
Every product on 98f — from sports betting on PSL to slots, fish games and live casino tables — operates on mathematical principles that give the platform a long-term edge. This does not mean you cannot win in a session; many players do. But it does mean that no betting strategy, no hot streak and no pattern observation can reliably overcome that edge over a long period of play.
Understanding this upfront changes how you approach gaming. A win is something to enjoy in the moment, not evidence that you have found a system. A loss is the cost of entertainment, not a debt that needs to be recovered. The players who enjoy 98f the most are the ones who go in with this mindset from the very first session.
Sports betting on cricket, Football and Esports markets involves predicting outcomes — and even the most informed cricket fan will be wrong a meaningful percentage of the time. Odds on 98f reflect probability plus the platform's margin. Slots and fish games use random number generators to determine outcomes; past results have no influence on future spins or rounds. Live casino games follow standard card and roulette probabilities with a built-in house edge on every hand or spin.
Self-exclusion is the most direct responsible gaming tool available to 98f players. If you feel that gaming has moved beyond entertainment and is affecting your finances, your relationships or your mental wellbeing, self-exclusion lets you step away from the platform for a defined period.
Important: Self-exclusion is a serious tool meant to be used when gaming is genuinely causing problems. Do not request it simply because you had a bad session and then request immediate reactivation the next day — this defeats the purpose. If you are unsure whether you need self-exclusion, a cooling-off period of a few days is a good first step.
Most people who develop a problem with gaming do not notice it happening gradually. Here are the patterns worth being honest with yourself about:
If two or more of the above feel familiar, that is a genuine signal. Talk to someone you trust about what you are experiencing, and contact 98f support to discuss your options — including a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
98f is strictly an 18+ platform. No exceptions. If you share a device with family members — including younger siblings, children or other household members — please take steps to ensure they cannot access your 98f account.
98f may request age verification documents at any stage of account activity. Accounts where underage use is confirmed will be permanently closed.
Register your free 98f account, set your PKR budget before your first session, and enjoy cricket betting, PSL markets, slots, fish games and live casino — all from your mobile browser. Gaming is most enjoyable when you are in control of it.
