Gambling should be an enjoyable, controlled form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. 98fd provides a comprehensive set of responsible gambling tools and clear information to help every player make informed, considered decisions about their gaming activity.
Six built-in controls designed to keep your gaming activity within healthy boundaries
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 98fd account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one requires a cooling-off period.
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable absorbing across a defined period — daily, weekly or monthly. When your losses reach the threshold, your session is paused for the remainder of the period. A vital tool for staying within your means.
Set a maximum session duration and receive reminders when your allocated time is approaching. Time limits help prevent the "just one more bet" mindset that can erode both time and money — particularly useful during long PSL or ICC match sessions.
If you feel your gambling is no longer under control, you can apply for a self-exclusion period — from a minimum duration up to permanent closure. During exclusion, your account is locked and promotional communications are suspended immediately.
Need a short break without permanently closing your account? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends betting and deposit activity for a set number of days. Your account is preserved but inactive — giving you space to reassess without a permanent decision.
Receive on-screen reminders at set intervals during active sessions showing how long you have been playing and your net win/loss position for that session. Keeping an accurate mental picture of your activity is the foundation of responsible play.
98fd is strictly for adults aged 18 and over — or such higher minimum age as required by the operator's licensing jurisdiction. Age alone does not confirm that gambling is lawful in your location.
Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 may restrict gambling. This is not legal advice.
At 98fd, responsible gambling is not an afterthought bolted on to satisfy regulatory requirements. It is embedded into how the platform is designed, how accounts are managed and how support is delivered. The goal is straightforward: every player who uses 98fd should be in control of their gambling activity at all times.
We recognise that for the vast majority of players — whether they are tracking PSL scores from Karachi, following a live roulette session from Lahore, or placing a cricket markets wager in Islamabad — gambling is an entertaining, occasional activity that fits comfortably within their budget and lifestyle. The responsible gambling framework at 98fd is designed to keep it that way.
For the smaller number of players for whom gambling begins to cause difficulty, 98fd's tools and support pathways are intended to provide early intervention and a clear route to help — before problems become serious. That means tools that are easy to find, easy to activate and genuinely effective.
Gambling is not a reliable way to generate income. Casino and sports betting outcomes are statistically designed to produce a net return to the operator over time. Any individual session can produce a win, but no betting strategy or system guarantees consistent profit. 98fd does not market the platform as a financial opportunity, and we actively discourage players from chasing losses or betting with funds they cannot afford to lose.
A clear breakdown of every limit type available on the 98fd platform
Caps the total PKR amount you can deposit across a day, week or month. The platform refuses further deposits once the limit is reached, regardless of the payment method used.
Caps the net amount you can lose within the chosen time window. When losses hit the threshold, no further wagers are accepted until the period expires and the limit resets.
Caps the maximum stake value per individual bet or spin. Useful for players who want to extend their entertainment time across a session without risking large amounts on single events.
Caps the duration of any single logged-in gaming session. You will receive an alert as the limit approaches. When time expires, you are logged out automatically until you choose to log back in.
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gambling tools available on 98fd. It gives you the ability to block access to your account for a defined period — from a minimum exclusion period up to permanent closure — when you feel that your gambling is no longer under your control.
Self-exclusion is not a punishment. It is a proactive, empowering choice. Many players who use the self-exclusion tool return to responsible, controlled gambling after the exclusion period — others use it as the first step toward stopping entirely. Both outcomes are valid and supported.
During self-exclusion: Your account is locked. Deposits are blocked. Promotional communications and bonus offers are suspended. You will not receive marketing emails or notifications. If you attempt to log in, access is denied for the duration of the exclusion.
Reversing self-exclusion: A self-exclusion applied for a minimum period cannot be reversed before that period expires. A request to lift exclusion after the minimum period will be subject to a mandatory reflection period before the account is reactivated.
Access your 98fd account from any device. Self-exclusion can be requested directly through the Account dashboard without contacting support.
Under Account Settings, locate the Responsible Gambling section. All self-exclusion and limit controls are grouped in this area.
Choose from the available exclusion periods. Read the terms for each period carefully before confirming. Permanent exclusion options are clearly labelled.
Confirm your selection. The exclusion takes effect immediately upon confirmation. A confirmation email will be sent to your registered email address.
If you encounter any difficulty applying self-exclusion through the dashboard, contact the 98fd support team directly — the email address is listed in the footer below.
Using funds designated for rent, food, utility bills or other household needs — such as Easypaisa or JazzCash mobile wallet balances set aside for regular payments — to fund gambling activity.
Increasing bet sizes or session durations specifically to recover money lost in previous sessions, rather than playing for entertainment within a predetermined budget.
Hiding the extent, frequency or financial scale of gambling from family members, friends or colleagues — a behaviour that often indicates a level of shame or anxiety about the activity.
Feeling unable to close a session at a planned time, or experiencing strong urges to continue playing after a session has ended — regardless of the outcome.
Feeling irritable, anxious, depressed or restless when not gambling, or using gambling as a way of coping with stress, loneliness or negative emotions.
Prioritising gambling over work, study, family obligations or other important areas of life, including missed prayers, family gatherings or professional commitments.
The following questions are not a clinical diagnostic tool. They are intended to help you reflect honestly on your current relationship with gambling. If you answer "Yes" to several of these questions, we encourage you to use the limit-setting or self-exclusion tools in your account or to seek support.
Beyond our in-platform tools, these resources can provide further guidance and assistance
The 98fd support team is available via live chat and email to assist with responsible gambling queries, limit adjustments and self-exclusion requests. Communication is available in English, with Urdu-language assistance as an option. Contact details are in the footer below. Response times are typically within a few hours on business days.
Deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, self-exclusion and cooling-off periods are all accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, directly from your Account Settings. You do not need to contact support to activate a limit reduction or self-exclusion. These tools are designed to be as friction-free as possible when you need them most.
If gambling has begun to affect your finances, relationships or mental wellbeing, speaking to a trusted family member, friend or community figure is a valuable first step. Many people find that simply articulating the concern to someone they trust helps them take practical action — whether that is setting account limits, taking a break or stopping altogether.
Staying informed about how gambling odds, RTP figures and house edges work is one of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling. 98fd publishes clear game information including RTP data and wagering requirements. Knowing that no system guarantees profit helps frame gambling accurately as a form of entertainment, not investment.
