At rpk98, responsible gambling is not a legal footnote — it is a core part of how this platform operates. Whether you are following PSL cricket from Karachi or tracking a live football fixture from Lahore, we want every experience on rpk98 to remain enjoyable, controlled and within your personal limits.
rpk98 is an English-language sports betting and live casino information platform designed for Pakistani users. We believe that informed, responsible engagement with online gambling starts with transparency — and that means giving every user on our platform the knowledge, the tools and the support they need to stay in control.
Gambling is entertainment. It carries financial risk. When it stops being fun and starts causing stress — whether that is chasing losses after a T20 match or spending money you cannot afford — that is the moment to pause and use the tools available to you. rpk98 makes those tools accessible from day one.
Pakistan has its own legal context around gambling, governed in part by the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. rpk98 operates under an international licensing framework. We do not provide legal advice and we do not claim that gambling is lawful in every Pakistani jurisdiction — you must verify the laws applicable to your specific location before participating.
If you are in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar or anywhere else in Pakistan, the responsible gambling tools and guidance on this page apply to you equally. No exceptions. No fine print. Your safety is the priority.
Adults Only — 18+ or Higher: Access to rpk98 is strictly limited to individuals aged 18 years and above, or the higher minimum age required by the operator or licence jurisdiction applicable to your location. Age alone does not determine the legality of gambling in Pakistan. Please check the laws in your area before participating.
Free to Use: All responsible gambling tools provided through rpk98 — including deposit limits, session timers, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion — are available to every registered user at no charge. There is no fee, no waiting period and no penalty for using them.
Need Help Now? If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, contact the platform support team immediately via live chat or email at [email protected]. Support is available 24/7 in English and Urdu.
Every responsible gambling commitment at rpk98 is built around six clear principles. Together they form the foundation of a safer betting environment for all users across Pakistan.
rpk98 enforces strict age verification at registration. No user below the age of 18 — or the higher minimum required by our licensing jurisdiction — is permitted to open an account, deposit funds or access any betting or casino content on the platform.
Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit and loss limits in PKR from your account settings at any time. Limits take effect immediately when reduced. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions during a losing run.
Set a maximum session duration before you start playing. Once your time limit is reached, the platform will alert you and optionally log you out. This is especially useful when following late-night ICC matches or extended PSL streaming sessions.
Request a self-exclusion period of 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is suspended, marketing communications are halted and re-registration attempts are blocked. This is the strongest protective tool available.
Need a short break without committing to full self-exclusion? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days. No deposits, no bets — just space. You can activate this instantly from your account dashboard.
Our support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. Whether you want to activate a limit, ask about self-exclusion or simply talk through a concern, our agents handle responsible gambling requests in both English and Urdu with full confidentiality.
Financial controls are the most practical tool in responsible gambling. When you set a limit on your account, you are making a calm, considered decision about how much you are comfortable spending — before the excitement of a live match or a winning streak can influence that decision.
rpk98 offers four distinct limit types, all denominated in PKR. You can set, review and reduce any limit instantly from your account settings. Increases are subject to a mandatory 24-hour reflection period. This deliberate friction is by design — it protects you from reactive decisions made in the heat of a game.
We recommend all users — whether you are depositing PKR 1,000 or PKR 25,000 — to set at least a weekly deposit limit when first joining the platform. It takes under a minute and provides a meaningful safety net.
Cap the total amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once the limit is hit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.
Defines the maximum net loss you are prepared to absorb within a set period. When reached, your betting access is automatically suspended until the period refreshes.
Set a ceiling on the total amount you can stake across all bets and casino games in a given period — regardless of wins or losses — to keep total activity in check.
Limit the total time you spend on the platform per day or session. Once your time is up, you receive a clear notification and can choose to continue or log out.
Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available to any user who feels that gambling is no longer under control. It is a firm, enforceable barrier — not just a suggestion. Once activated, your account is locked and cannot be reopened until the exclusion period expires (or permanently, if you choose that option).
The process takes less than five minutes and can be completed entirely online. You do not need to speak to anyone if you prefer not to — though our support team is always available if you want to talk it through first.
Permanent Exclusion: If you select a permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed indefinitely. You will not be able to re-register using the same identity details. This decision cannot be reversed. Please consider it carefully.
Access your rpk98 account using your registered credentials. If you have forgotten your password, use the account recovery option on the login screen before proceeding.
Go to your account settings and select the "Responsible Gambling" section. This is where all protective tools — limits, cooling-off and self-exclusion — are managed.
Choose your preferred exclusion period: 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or permanently. Read the information on screen carefully before making your selection.
You will be asked to confirm the exclusion via a verification step. Once confirmed, your account is immediately suspended. A confirmation notification will be sent to your registered email address.
Following exclusion, rpk98 will send you information about responsible gambling support organisations operating under our licensing framework. You are also encouraged to contact our support team at any time during your exclusion period.
Problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. It often develops gradually — a few extra bets after a PSL loss, a slightly larger deposit "just this once", staying up later than planned watching a live fixture. Recognising the early signs is the most important step toward staying in control.
The warning signs below are not a clinical diagnosis — they are practical indicators that something may be shifting from entertainment to a problem. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use rpk98's self-assessment tools or speak to a support professional.
Placing additional bets specifically to recover money lost in previous sessions, rather than for entertainment. This cycle often escalates quickly and is one of the clearest indicators of problematic behaviour.
Using funds earmarked for essentials — rent, groceries, school fees, utility bills — to fund gambling activity. If losing that money would genuinely hurt your financial situation, it should not be wagered.
Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members, close friends or a partner. Secrecy is a common indicator that the person involved already recognises the activity has become excessive.
Using betting or casino games as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression or difficult personal circumstances — rather than as a leisure activity. This pattern can intensify underlying problems significantly.
Consistently spending far longer on the platform than you intended — missing meals, sleep or social commitments because of gambling sessions. This loss of time-awareness is a strong behavioural signal to act on.
Feeling irritable, anxious or unable to concentrate when not actively gambling or when attempting to cut back. This is a sign that gambling may have moved beyond a recreational habit.
Read each statement below honestly. If you find yourself agreeing with three or more, it may be time to use one of rpk98's responsible gambling tools or seek additional support.
I have spent more money on gambling than I originally planned on more than one occasion in the past month.
I have gambled using money that was intended for essential expenses such as rent, bills or food.
I have tried to win back money I lost by placing more bets immediately after a losing session.
Someone close to me — a family member or friend — has expressed concern about how much I gamble.
I have felt the urge to gamble more frequently when I am feeling stressed, anxious or low.
I have kept the extent of my gambling activity secret from people in my life.
I have borrowed money or sold personal belongings to fund gambling activity.
I find it difficult to stop gambling once I have started, even when I intended to play for a short time only.
If three or more of the above apply to you: Please reach out to our support team immediately via live chat or at [email protected]. You can also activate self-exclusion directly from your account settings without needing to contact anyone. Help is available 24/7 in English and Urdu.
Every tool below is built into the rpk98 platform. No third-party app required. No waiting period to activate protective measures.
Receive periodic on-screen notifications showing how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session. These prompts are configurable and appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
Access a full record of your deposits, withdrawals, bets and session durations at any time from your account dashboard. Transparency about your own activity is a powerful self-management tool — especially when reviewed weekly.
Lock your account instantly for a fixed period without going through the full self-exclusion process. Useful when you need a short, firm break — for example, during a stressful period at work or after a large financial loss on a match.
Disable all promotional communications — bonus offers, free bet alerts, match-day push notifications — directly from your account preferences. Removing marketing triggers is a meaningful step for users managing their gambling behaviour.
rpk98's own tools are always the first step. But if you need additional support beyond what our platform provides, the following types of resources are available through our international licensing framework and recognised global organisations.
Confidential telephone helplines operated by responsible gambling support organisations within our licensing jurisdiction offer immediate assistance to anyone in gambling distress — available in multiple languages.
Text-based and video counselling services provided by licensed mental health professionals who specialise in gambling-related issues. Sessions are confidential and accessible from anywhere in Pakistan.
Peer-led support groups — both in-person and online — provide a community setting for people working through gambling problems. These groups operate under the framework of recognised international responsible gambling bodies.
Dedicated support services exist for the family members and partners of people experiencing gambling problems. If someone you care about is struggling, you do not need to face it alone — support is available for you too.
Contact rpk98 Support: Our team can connect you with appropriate responsible gambling resources and help you activate any protective tool on your account. Reach us 24/7 via live chat or at [email protected]. All enquiries are handled with complete confidentiality in English and Urdu.
rpk98 takes the protection of underage individuals extremely seriously. No person below the age of 18 — or the higher minimum required under our licensing framework — may access, register for or use the platform. This restriction is non-negotiable and is enforced through both technical controls and identity verification procedures.
If you share a device with younger family members — a common situation in many households across Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad — we strongly recommend using your device's built-in parental control features to restrict access to gambling-related websites and apps. Most Android and iOS devices include robust parental control options in their settings.
If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on the rpk98 platform, please contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. We will investigate the matter as a priority, suspend the relevant account and take all required remedial action in accordance with our licensing obligations.
Parental Controls: Third-party parental control software such as Net Nanny, Bark and similar tools can be used alongside device-level controls to create additional barriers. rpk98 supports and encourages their use by any household where minors may have access to internet-enabled devices.
Responsible gambling starts with the right information and the right tools. rpk98 provides both — free, always accessible and built directly into your account. If you ever need a hand, our support team is one message away.
18+ only, or the higher minimum required by the operator/licence jurisdiction. Gambling involves financial risk. Local laws may restrict gambling in your area. Please verify applicable local laws before participating.
