Responsible Gaming at 98 Games — Play Smart, Stay in Control

Gaming Should Enhance Your Life — Not Complicate It

At 98 Games, responsible gaming is not a checkbox item or a page buried in the legal section. It is a fundamental part of how the platform is designed and operated. Every player on 98 Games — from someone playing Teen Patti for Rs 100 for the first time, to a Diamond VIP betting larger amounts — deserves the same access to tools that keep gaming enjoyable and within bounds.

The reality is that for most people, gaming is exactly what it is supposed to be: a fun pastime. You play, you might win, you might lose, and you move on with your day. But we also know that for some people, gaming can shift from entertainment to a habit that causes problems. When that happens, 98 Games wants to be part of the solution, not the cause.

This page covers the tools built into your 98 Games account, practical guidelines for keeping play healthy, the signs that gaming may have become a problem, and what to do if you — or someone you care about — needs support. None of it is preachy. It is just honest, practical information from a platform that genuinely cares about its players.

One key principle: Gaming at 98 Games should only ever be money you can afford to lose — budgeted entertainment money, like what you would spend on a dinner out or a cricket match ticket. If you are dipping into rent, bills, or savings, the amount is too high.

Six Responsible Gaming Tools Built Into Every 98 Games Account

All of these are available to every player, at every tier, at no cost. No waiting periods, no approvals required — except where noted.

Deposit Limits
Set the maximum you can deposit into your 98 Games account per day, per week, or per month. You can set a limit from Account Settings at any time. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit applies after a 48-hour cooling-off period — this is intentional, and it is there to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom value. When your session reaches the limit, the platform gives you a clear notification and asks whether you want to continue or end the session. It does not lock you out automatically, but it breaks the momentum and makes you actively choose to continue.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable regular pop-up reminders that show your current session duration, your net position for the session (wins minus losses), and the time of day. These are displayed at an interval you choose — every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or hourly. The idea is simple: stay aware of what you are doing and how long you have been doing it.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a short break from 98 Games without fully closing your account. You can set a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 72 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During a cooling-off period your account is locked for deposits and gameplay. Your balance is held safely and you can resume when the period ends — no questions asked.
Self-Exclusion
Request temporary self-exclusion (minimum 6 months) or permanent self-exclusion from 98 Games by contacting support at support@98games.app. Self-exclusion is applied within minutes of the request. During exclusion, your account is fully locked and you cannot reactivate it before the period ends, regardless of any request. Your remaining balance will be returned.
Loss Limits
Set the maximum amount you can lose in a given period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once you reach your loss limit for the period, gameplay is suspended automatically until the period resets. Like deposit limits, reducing a loss limit is immediate. Increasing it requires the 48-hour cooling-off period.

To access any of these tools, log into your 98 Games account, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming, or contact our 24/7 support team.

How to Keep Gaming at 98 Games Enjoyable Long-Term

Most people who play at 98 Games do so without any issues. They set a budget, play within it, enjoy the games, and move on. But keeping it that way takes a degree of awareness and a few straightforward habits. These are the ones that consistently make the difference between gaming staying fun and gaming becoming a problem.

The most important habit is the budget. Before you deposit into your 98 Games account, decide exactly how much you are comfortable losing — and treat that as the cost of entertainment, not an investment. If you lose it, the session is over. If you win, great — but winnings are not guaranteed income and should not be treated as such.

The second habit is knowing when to stop. Set a time limit before you start — not during the session, when you are already engaged. The session timers at 98 Games make this easy. Once your timer is up, that is the session done. Walk away, even if you are on a winning streak. The games will be there tomorrow.

Never chase losses. If you have had a bad session and your first instinct is to deposit more and try to win it back, stop. This is the single most common way recreational gaming turns into a problem. Log out, take a break, and come back another day with your regular budget.

Follow these and gaming stays where it belongs: in the entertainment column.

1
Set a budget before every session
Decide how much you are going to spend before you open the app. Not a rough figure — a specific number. Write it down if it helps.
2
Only play with money you can afford to lose
Gaming money should come from your discretionary entertainment budget — not rent, food, bills, or savings. If you do not have a comfortable surplus to spend, do not play.
3
Use the deposit and loss limits at 98 Games
Set limits before you need them, not after a session has gone wrong. Responsible gaming tools work best when they are proactive, not reactive.
4
Do not play when you are stressed, tired, or upset
Emotional states affect decision-making. Playing while you are stressed or trying to escape a problem makes impulsive decisions more likely.
5
Take regular breaks — during sessions and between them
Get up, stretch, have a glass of water. Do not play for hours without stepping away. Use the session timer at 98 Games as your enforced break point.
6
Keep balance with other parts of life
If gaming starts to crowd out time with family, friends, work, or other activities you enjoy, that is a sign the balance has shifted and needs to be corrected.
7
Treat winnings as a bonus, not income
Winning is possible at 98 Games — but it is not predictable or reliable. Do not plan financially around winnings, and do not chase them when they do not come.
8
Be honest with yourself — and with us
If gaming is causing you stress, financial strain, or relationship tension, talk to our support team. We can help set limits or arrange exclusion without judgement.

When Gaming May Have Become a Problem

These signs do not mean someone is a "bad person" — they mean gaming has shifted from entertainment to something that needs attention. Recognising them early makes a real difference.

Spending more time or money gaming than you planned, repeatedly
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you cannot play
Chasing losses — depositing more to try to recover what you have lost
Hiding gaming activity from family members or close friends
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gaming
Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities because of gaming
Using gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or emotional pain
Feeling guilty or ashamed about gaming but continuing anyway
Needing to bet larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement

If you recognise several of these in yourself — or if someone close to you has mentioned any of them — it is worth taking the self-check below, and considering reaching out to the 98 Games support team. You can also request immediate self-exclusion by emailing support@98games.app at any time. There is no judgement involved and the process is straightforward.

98 Games Is Strictly 18+ — No Exceptions

The 98 Games platform is for adults only. We verify age during the registration process and require identity confirmation before significant withdrawals. If we identify an account belonging to someone under 18, it is closed immediately and all funds are forfeited.

If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a young person in your household may be accessing 98 Games or any other online gaming platform, there are practical steps you can take. Most mobile devices — including Android phones and iPhones — have parental control settings that allow you to restrict access to certain websites and apps. You can enable these through the device settings or via your mobile carrier's parental controls.

If you believe a minor has registered on 98 Games, contact us immediately at support@98games.app. We will investigate and take action promptly. We take underage access extremely seriously and cooperate fully with any relevant authority.

Device Parental Controls
Android: Settings → Digital Wellbeing → Parental Controls. iPhone: Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions. Both allow you to block specific apps and websites.
Network-Level Filtering
Most Pakistani mobile carriers and home internet providers offer parental filtering options. Contact your provider to ask about blocking gaming and betting sites at the network level.
Report Underage Access to 98 Games
Email support@98games.app if you suspect a minor has accessed the platform. Include as much detail as you can. We respond and act within 24 hours in all such cases.

What to Do If Gaming Has Become a Problem

Asking for help is not a weakness — it is the smart move. Here is what to do if you need support.

Contact 98 Games Support
Live chat inside your account, 24/7. Or email support@98games.app. Ask for self-exclusion, limit setting, or just talk through your concern. No pressure, no judgement.
Request Self-Exclusion
Email support@98games.app with subject "Self-Exclusion Request" and your registered mobile number. Your account will be locked within minutes. No waiting, no questions about why.
Talk to Someone You Trust
A family member, a close friend — sometimes the most effective first step is telling someone you trust that gaming has become a concern. You do not have to deal with it alone.
Seek Professional Support
If gaming has caused serious financial or emotional harm, professional counselling can make a significant difference. Mental health services are available across Pakistan's major cities including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.

98 Games does not operate a gambling addiction helpline — we are a gaming platform, not a healthcare provider. If you or someone you know is experiencing serious distress related to gambling, please seek professional medical or psychological support through a qualified healthcare provider.

Responsible Gaming FAQ at 98 Games

Log into your 98 Games account and go to Account Settings, then select the Responsible Gaming section. You will find options to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Enter the amount and confirm. The limit takes effect immediately. If you need help, the 24/7 live chat support team can set it for you directly.

To request self-exclusion, email support@98games.app with subject "Self-Exclusion Request" and your registered mobile number. The support team will apply it within minutes. Self-exclusion periods are a minimum of 6 months. Once applied, it cannot be reversed before the period ends — this is intentional and is there to protect you. Your account balance will be returned via your registered payment method.

Yes — but there is a 48-hour cooling-off period before a limit increase takes effect. This is deliberate. If you want to increase your limit during or immediately after a gaming session, the cooling-off period gives you time to reconsider before the change actually applies. Reducing a limit, on the other hand, takes effect immediately.

A cooling-off period at 98 Games is a short break — 24 hours to 1 month — during which your account is locked for deposits and gameplay, but is automatically restored when the period ends. Self-exclusion is a longer-term, more serious step — a minimum of 6 months — that cannot be reversed before it ends. Use cooling-off if you want a temporary break. Use self-exclusion if gaming has genuinely become a problem that needs a firm boundary.

Your balance will be returned to you via your registered payment method (Easypaisa, JazzCash, IBFT, or whichever method you last used). Any bonus funds that have not met their wagering requirements will be forfeited. Real money deposits and verified winnings will be returned in full. The support team will process this during the exclusion setup.

It is genuinely difficult to watch someone you care about struggle with a gambling problem. The most effective thing you can do is talk to them directly, without judgement — express your concern and offer support rather than criticism. If you believe someone is using a 98 Games account and is experiencing harm, contact us at support@98games.app. If the person is willing, they can self-exclude directly. You cannot request exclusion on behalf of someone else, but we can advise on how to approach the conversation.
