par98 believes that gaming is entertainment — nothing more, nothing less. We provide every Pakistani player with the tools, information, and support needed to stay in control and enjoy the platform safely. Your wellbeing always comes before the game.
par98 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all account holders and players. Age is verified at registration and may be re-checked at any time. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 is immediately suspended and all associated funds are frozen pending investigation. There are no exceptions to this rule.

At par98, we take responsible gaming seriously — not as a legal checkbox, but as a genuine commitment to the Pakistani players who trust us. Whether you are betting on a PSL cricket match in Lahore or spinning slots from Karachi, the experience should always feel entertaining, never stressful or compulsive.
We have built a suite of practical tools directly into your par98 account so you can set boundaries, take breaks, and stay in control at any time — no forms to fill, no waiting periods for basic limits. Your safety is always one click away in Account Settings.
Problem gambling occurs when a person can no longer control the urge to gamble, even when it is causing harm to themselves or the people around them. It can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or city.
The good news is that help is available, and recognising the signs early makes a real difference. par98 encourages every player to check in with themselves regularly and to use the tools available on the platform to stay in control.
Every par98 account comes with a full set of responsible gaming controls, accessible directly from Account Settings. No request needed — just log in and take control.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit into your par98 account. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately for reductions. You can request an increase, but a 7-day cooling-off period applies before any increase becomes active — giving you time to reconsider.
Define the maximum amount of PKR you are comfortable losing over a set period. When your loss limit is reached, par98 will suspend further gaming activity for that period. This tool is particularly useful for players who want to budget their entertainment spend in advance.
Choose a maximum session duration. When your session time is up, par98 will show you a clear notification and log you out automatically. This prevents extended gaming sessions that can lead to fatigue-related decision-making and helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing.
Need a short break from gaming? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days directly from Account Settings. During this period, your par98 account will be temporarily suspended. You will not receive promotional communications and will not be able to deposit or play.
If you feel that gaming is no longer under your control, you can self-exclude your par98 account for a minimum period of 6 months, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, all marketing is stopped, and re-registration attempts are actively blocked. This is the most serious tool available and takes effect immediately.
Set recurring pop-up reminders — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — that display your session duration, total wagered amount, and net win/loss during the session. These reality checks help you make informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.
Problem gambling does not always look obvious. Many players in Islamabad, Faisalabad, and across Pakistan start noticing these signs gradually. Recognising them early is the first step towards getting back in control.
Continuing to play — or increasing bet sizes — with the intention of winning back money already lost. This is one of the clearest early indicators of problem gambling behaviour.
Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or social commitments in Lahore, Karachi, or elsewhere because of time or money spent on gambling.
Concealing gambling from family members or close friends, lying about the amount spent, or feeling ashamed about gaming behaviour.
Taking loans, borrowing from friends, or using household funds earmarked for essentials such as rent, groceries, or utility bills in order to fund gambling activity.
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems rather than as entertainment. When gambling is used as a coping mechanism, the risk of dependency increases significantly.
Answer honestly. If you find yourself agreeing with several of these statements, it may be time to use par98's responsible gaming tools or speak to a support professional.
Have you ever spent more than you planned during a single gaming session on par98 or any other platform?
Do you think about gambling when you are at work, in class, or spending time with your family?
Have you tried to cut back on your gambling but found it difficult to stick to your own limits?
Has gambling caused arguments or tension between you and family members or close friends?
Have you continued gambling even after experiencing significant losses you could not easily afford?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you are unable to gamble, or when you try to reduce how much you play?
Have you used money set aside for bills, food, or other necessities to fund your gaming activity?
If you answered yes to two or more of the above, we strongly encourage you to activate responsible gaming tools on your par98 account or contact our support team at [email protected] for a confidential conversation.
Taking action is straightforward. Here is exactly how to activate responsible gaming protections on your par98 account, step by step.
Visit par98.org and log in using your registered credentials. All responsible gaming tools are available immediately after login — no verification steps required to access these features.
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner of the par98 platform and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" tab within the settings panel.
Select from deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, cooling-off periods, reality check reminders, or self-exclusion. Each tool has a clear description and a simple activation interface. Reductions take effect immediately.

par98's tools are designed to support self-regulation, but they are not a substitute for professional help. If you or someone you know is experiencing serious difficulties related to gambling, please reach out to a qualified mental health or gambling support professional in your area. par98 encourages this step without hesitation.
Our dedicated support team handles responsible gaming requests with priority and complete confidentiality. Whether you want to set a limit, take a break, or discuss self-exclusion, we are here to help without judgement.
