Important: Gambling is entertainment, not a source of income. Never bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, stop and seek help. This platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above.

Gaming That Respects You

At pq98, responsible gaming is not a box we tick — it is embedded into how we build and run this platform. Whether you are placing a quick PSL bet from Karachi or spinning slots late at night in Lahore, we want your experience to always feel in control, enjoyable, and sustainable.

We provide every pq98 player with a full suite of responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, session time reminders, cool-off periods, and complete self-exclusion — all accessible directly from your account settings, free of charge, at any time.

pq98 operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence, which carries strict responsible gaming obligations. We take those obligations seriously — not because we are required to, but because protecting our players is the right thing to do.

pq98's responsible gaming programme is reviewed regularly to ensure it meets international standards and reflects the realities of the Pakistani gaming community.
21+STRICTLY ENFORCED

Age Verification is Mandatory

The pq98 platform is exclusively for adults aged 21 years and above. No exceptions. Every new player is subject to identity and age verification as part of the pq98 KYC process before they can deposit or play.

If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing pq98, please contact our support team immediately. We will investigate and act swiftly.

Session Reminders Set time alerts so you always know how long you have been playing on pq98.
Deposit Limits (PKR) Cap your daily, weekly, or monthly deposits in Pakistani Rupees directly from your account.

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

Every pq98 player has free, instant access to these tools from their account settings — no waiting period, no approval required.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month in PKR. Once your limit is reached, pq98 will not allow further deposits until the period resets. You can lower your limit instantly; increases take 24 hours to come into effect to prevent impulsive decisions.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period. pq98 will automatically stop your play once that threshold is reached — giving you a clear financial boundary and peace of mind before you even log in.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session length — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or whatever suits your routine. When your session limit is reached, pq98 will display a reminder and log you out automatically if you choose.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic in-session pop-ups that show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered since your last check-in. These gentle nudges keep your session grounded in reality rather than the flow of the game.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from pq98 — 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days — without permanently closing your account. During a cool-off period your account remains open but you cannot make deposits or place bets. All existing withdrawals will be processed normally.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, pq98 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Once active, self-exclusion cannot be reversed for the chosen period. This is one of the most effective tools available for managing problem gambling behaviour.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — from casual cricket bettors in Islamabad to regular slot players in Faisalabad. Being honest with yourself about these warning signs is the first and most important step.

Spending more than you planned or can afford
Chasing losses after a bad session
Gambling to escape stress or personal problems
Lying to family about your gambling habits
Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities
Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
Borrowing money specifically to fund gambling
Repeated failed attempts to cut back or stop
If any of the above signs sound familiar, please use pq98's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team right away. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the smart move.
pq98 strongly encourages any player who believes they may have a gambling problem to seek support from qualified counselling services and consider using our permanent self-exclusion option.

Quick Check-In Questions

Answer these honestly — for yourself, not for anyone else. These are the kinds of questions pq98 encourages all players to reflect on regularly.

1 In the last month, have you spent more on pq98 than you initially planned?
Never Once or twice Sometimes Often
2 Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by placing more bets immediately after?
Never Once or twice Sometimes Often
3 Has gambling ever caused tension or arguments with family members or friends?
Never Once or twice Sometimes Often
4 Have you used money earmarked for bills, groceries, or other essentials to fund gambling?
Never Once or twice Sometimes Often
5 Do you find it difficult to stop or take a break from gambling once you have started a session?

If you answered "Sometimes" or "Often" to any of these questions, we strongly encourage you to set deposit limits, activate a cool-off period, or contact pq98 support for a confidential conversation about self-exclusion options.

pq98's Responsible Gaming Values

Age Verification First

Every pq98 account must be age-verified before any real-money activity is permitted. We use reliable KYC processes to confirm every player is 21 or older — no exceptions, no shortcuts.

Self-Exclusion Programme

Our self-exclusion tool is available to every pq98 player, for periods ranging from 6 months up to permanent exclusion. Once active, the exclusion is enforced at the platform level — there is no workaround.

PKR Deposit Controls

Set your deposit caps in Pakistani Rupees — daily, weekly, or monthly. pq98 enforces these limits at the payment processing level, so they cannot be bypassed even if you change your payment method.

24/7 Trained Support

pq98's support team is available around the clock via live chat. Our agents are trained to handle responsible gaming conversations sensitively, confidentially, and without judgement — day or night.

Transparent Spending History

Every pq98 player has full access to their complete betting and deposit history in their account dashboard. Knowing exactly how much you have spent is the foundation of responsible play.

No Advertising to Vulnerable Players

pq98 does not target promotional communications at players who have set responsible gaming limits, activated cool-off periods, or requested self-exclusion. Protecting vulnerable players comes before marketing.

Keeping pq98 Safe for Families

pq98 understands that many Pakistani households share devices, and that parents have a genuine responsibility to prevent underage access to gambling platforms. Here is what you can do to keep pq98 and other gambling sites away from younger family members:

Use Device Parental Controls Both Android and iOS have built-in parental control and app restriction features. Enable them on shared or family devices to prevent access to gambling apps and websites.
Keep Account Credentials Private Never share your pq98 username or password with family members, especially children or teenagers. Your account is for your use only and is linked to your verified identity.
Router-Level Filtering Most home routers in Pakistan support website category blocking. You can block gambling category sites at the network level, which covers all devices connected to your home Wi-Fi.
Report Underage Access to pq98 If you believe a minor has accessed or created a pq98 account, contact our support team immediately. We will investigate, close the account, and return any funds deposited.
