Gaming on 98okr should be entertainment — a way to enjoy cricket season, follow PSL, or unwind with slots after a long day. This page is for players who want to stay in control of how they play, how long they play, and how much they spend.
Every tool listed below is built into your 98okr account and free to use. None of them affect your VIP status or account standing. You can activate, adjust or remove limits at any time from your account settings.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week or month in PKR. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted for that period — regardless of payment method. Limits take effect immediately; increases take 24 hours to activate as a cooling-off measure.
Set a maximum session duration so the platform logs you out automatically after your chosen time period — whether that's 30 minutes or 3 hours. You can also enable reminders that alert you every 30 or 60 minutes during a session without forcing logout.
Regular on-screen pop-ups display your current session duration and net win/loss position. These are straightforward prompts — not alarms — that make it easy to stay aware of what you're actually spending and winning rather than losing track over a long session.
Need a few days away from the platform without a long-term commitment? The Take a Break feature lets you suspend your account for 1 day, 3 days, 1 week or 1 month. During this period you cannot login, deposit or bet. Your account and balance are fully preserved.
Self-exclusion is for players who feel they need a longer, firmer break. You can exclude yourself for 6 months, 1 year or permanently. Once confirmed, the exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period — there is no override or emergency lift. All marketing communications are also stopped.
Your full transaction history, session log and betting record are visible in your account at any time. Reviewing your actual activity — rather than relying on how a session felt — is one of the most practical ways to stay honest with yourself about your gaming habits.
Responsible gaming is not about playing less — it's about playing with intention. It means deciding in advance how much time and money you're comfortable spending, sticking to those limits without needing to override them mid-session, and treating outcomes — wins and losses alike — as part of normal entertainment rather than financial events that need to be corrected.
The PSL season and major cricket fixtures are exciting, and it's perfectly natural to want to be involved with a bet on your team. The question is whether that involvement stays in proportion to your actual financial situation. A PKR 500 bet on a T20 match during a weekend is a very different thing from spending money that's needed elsewhere, or chasing a loss because a result didn't go the way you hoped.
98okr provides tools to support responsible play, but the most important factor is always your own awareness. The tools only work if you actually use them — preferably before you feel any pressure to, not after.
The simplest rule: decide your session budget before you open the app. Set a deposit limit equal to that budget. If the balance reaches zero, the session is over. This one habit removes most of the risk associated with losing track of spending during a long session.
A gaming budget is money you've consciously decided you can spend on entertainment — the same way you'd budget for a cinema trip, eating out, or any other leisure activity. If you wouldn't be stressed about losing that amount completely, it's probably an appropriate entertainment budget. If losing it would create real financial difficulty, it's too much.
Consider your monthly income and fixed commitments — rent, utilities, household expenses, any savings goals. What's left after those is your discretionary spending. Gaming should take a portion of that discretionary amount, not compete with fixed commitments.
Example PKR Monthly Allocation (Illustrative)
These percentages are illustrative only. Your personal situation will vary — the point is that gaming fits within leisure spending, not alongside fixed commitments.
Deposit limits set on a weekly basis tend to work better for cricket season, when there are multiple matches across several days. A monthly limit can feel distant — if you've deposited a large amount in week one, the limit feels irrelevant until the next month arrives. A weekly limit keeps the budget proportionate to actual activity frequency.
Important: a deposit limit is not the same as a loss limit. If you deposit PKR 2,000 and win PKR 1,500, your account has PKR 3,500 — and you could potentially lose more than your original deposit in a single session. Consider how much of your total balance you're comfortable playing through, not just how much you deposit.
Time can pass surprisingly fast during a live cricket match with in-play betting, or during a slot session with continuous spins. Sessions that were meant to last 30 minutes can stretch to 2 or 3 hours without any single moment where the decision to continue felt deliberate.
Session time limits and reality checks address this directly. The reality check doesn't force anything — it just pauses the session for a moment and shows you how long you've been playing and what your current net position is. That brief awareness moment is often enough to make an informed decision about whether to continue.
Activating the 30-minute reality check is a useful default even for players who feel fully in control. It creates a natural decision point without forcing anything, and over time it builds an accurate sense of how long your sessions actually run.
All responsible gaming controls are in your account settings — not hidden in a support ticket process. Here's how to find and activate them:
Open the 98okr app or website and log in using your registered mobile number and password. Biometric login works on the app.
Tap or click your profile icon in the top corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Select the "Responsible Gaming" tab within Account Settings. All available tools — deposit limits, session limits, reality checks, take a break and self-exclusion — are listed here.
Select the tool you want to activate and enter your preferred limit. Limits that reduce your activity (lower deposit limit, shorter session, self-exclusion) take effect immediately. Increases to limits have a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Confirm the change. You'll receive an in-app notification confirming the new limit is active. Support is available 24/7 via live chat if you need help with any of these steps.
If you want to self-exclude immediately and can't access account settings, contact 98okr support directly via live chat and request an immediate account suspension. Support can action this in real time.
If other people in your household — particularly younger family members — have access to your device, make sure your 98okr account is protected with a strong password or biometric lock. Do not save your login credentials in a shared browser or shared device.
The 98okr platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. If you believe someone under 18 has accessed or registered on the platform, contact support immediately via live chat. Accounts found to be used by minors are closed and the matter is treated seriously.
Parental control software on shared devices can also help restrict access to online gaming sites and apps for underage household members. This is a practical step worth taking if the household includes teenagers.
If you're concerned about your own gaming habits or those of someone close to you, don't wait until things feel serious. 98okr support is available 24/7 via live chat and can help you activate any responsible gaming tool on the spot.
Most people who enjoy gaming never develop a problem. But for some players, patterns can shift gradually in ways that are easy to miss in the moment. The following are patterns worth paying attention to — none of them mean anything alarming on their own, but if several apply regularly, it's worth taking a deliberate break and reviewing your habits honestly.
Chasing losses — Depositing more or extending a session specifically to try to recover money you've already lost in that session. This is one of the most common patterns that leads to spending well beyond the original budget.
Hiding activity — If you find yourself not mentioning gaming activity to family members, or actively concealing how much time or money is involved, that's worth reflecting on.
Gaming under financial pressure — Using gaming as a way to try to solve a financial problem rather than as entertainment. This almost always makes the situation worse rather than better.
Borrowing to fund gaming — Taking loans, advancing salary or borrowing from family to deposit into a gaming account is a serious warning sign that activity has moved beyond entertainment.
Persistent preoccupation — Thinking about upcoming bets, matches or gaming sessions in a way that interferes with concentration at work, school or family time.
Playing to manage mood — Using gaming specifically to cope with stress, anxiety, boredom or difficult emotions rather than as one of many leisure activities.
If any of the above apply to you on a regular basis, activate self-exclusion through your account settings or contact 98okr support via live chat right now. There's no charge, no penalty and no impact on any balance you hold — it's simply a pause.
You decide your budget before opening the app and stick to it regardless of whether you're winning or losing.
Losing your session budget feels mildly disappointing but doesn't affect your mood or finances in any meaningful way.
Gaming is something you do sometimes — alongside other hobbies, family time and social activities — not the primary way you spend your time.
You're open with yourself and your household about how much time and money you spend. There's nothing to conceal because it stays proportionate.
When your session limit ends or your balance reaches zero, you close the app without strong urges to immediately reopen it or top up.
You've got the tools and the knowledge. Set your limits, enjoy cricket season, PSL and your favourite slots — and keep gaming as the entertainment it's meant to be.
