At e98, gaming is meant to be an enjoyable leisure activity — not a source of stress or financial pressure. We have built a full set of tools and guidelines to help every player in Pakistan keep their gaming within comfortable limits. Whether you enjoy Casino, Slots, Bingo or Cricket Betting, this page covers everything you need to stay in control.
Set your PKR deposit limit
Turn on session time reminders
Use self-exclusion if needed
e98 is built around entertainment. We want every player across Pakistan — whether you are catching a PSL match in Lahore, spinning slots in Karachi, or playing Bingo from Islamabad — to enjoy the platform in a way that feels relaxed, voluntary and within their personal budget.
Responsible gaming is not a legal disclaimer for us. It is something we think about in how we design the platform, set our deposit flows, and provide account tools. Gaming becomes a problem when it stops being fun — when it creates financial pressure, affects daily routines, or feels compulsive rather than chosen. Our tools exist to help you spot the early signs and act before that point.
This page explains the practical tools available on e98, what warning signs to watch for, and how to use the platform in a way that stays enjoyable over the long term.
These tools are available to every registered player, free of charge, directly from your account settings. You do not need to contact support to use them.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted in that period. Limits take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory cooling-off period before the higher limit kicks in — but reducing a limit takes effect straight away.
Set an alert that notifies you after a defined period of continuous play — for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. When the alert triggers, you can choose to continue or end your session. The reminder is designed to break the automatic flow of long sessions and give you a moment to decide consciously.
Take a short break from e98 without permanently closing your account. You can set a cooling-off period of several days or weeks. During this period, your account is suspended and deposits are blocked. You can still access your account history but cannot place bets or make deposits.
If you feel that gaming is getting out of hand, self-exclusion lets you block access to your e98 account for a defined period — or permanently. During self-exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. This tool is available instantly from account settings and we strongly encourage anyone feeling overwhelmed to use it without hesitation.
Set a maximum amount in PKR that you are comfortable losing in a given day, week or month. Once your net loss reaches this limit, betting and gaming activity is paused for the remainder of that period. This is one of the most practical tools for keeping gaming within your financial comfort zone.
Enable periodic pop-up notifications that show you how long you have been playing and how your balance has changed during the session. These gentle reality checks are proven to help players maintain a clearer picture of their activity without disrupting the enjoyment of play.
These are not rules — they are practical habits that experienced players use to keep gaming enjoyable over the long term.
Before you open the Casino or start placing bets on a PSL T20, decide exactly how much PKR you are comfortable spending that session — and treat it the same way you would a night out. Once that amount is done, the session is over. Never deposit more to chase what you have lost.
Decide in advance how long you will play — one hour, not "until I win back what I lost." Use e98's session reminders to get a nudge when your planned time is up. Mixing gaming into daily routines without a time limit is one of the most common ways casual play becomes problematic.
Slots, Bingo, Casino and Fish Games are entertainment products — the house edge means they are not reliable income sources. Enjoy them the same way you would enjoy a Cricket match: for the excitement, not the result. If winning feels more urgent than fun, that is worth paying attention to.
Chasing losses — depositing more PKR to win back what you have lost — is the most common trigger for problem gaming. Losses are part of every game of chance. The right response to a bad session is to close the app, not to raise the stakes. Each session should start fresh with a new budget.
Gaming works best as one enjoyable activity among many. If you notice that gaming is taking time away from family, friends, work or other hobbies, that imbalance is worth addressing. Healthy gaming fits around your life — it does not replace other parts of it.
If you ever feel that gaming is causing stress or you are hiding it from people close to you, talking about it is the first step. Whether that is with someone you trust personally or through a professional support resource, speaking up is a sign of strength — and it nearly always helps.
Problem gaming rarely appears all at once. It usually builds gradually through small changes in behaviour that are easy to overlook at first. Being honest with yourself about the following warning signs is one of the most valuable things you can do as a player.
You are spending more PKR than you intended, or more than you can comfortably afford, on deposits.
You keep returning to the platform to try to win back losses, even after deciding to stop.
Gaming is taking up significantly more time than you planned, and you are losing track of how long sessions last.
You feel restless, irritable or anxious when you are unable to play, or when you try to cut down.
You are hiding your gaming activity or the amounts you are spending from family or close friends.
Gaming is affecting your sleep, work, studies or family responsibilities in a noticeable way.
Read through the following honestly. These are not diagnostic questions — they are prompts for personal reflection. The more of these you find yourself agreeing with, the more attention your gaming habits may need.
Setting up your responsible gaming preferences on e98 takes under two minutes. Here is exactly how to do it after logging in to your account.
Access your account via the Login page. Make sure you are using your own account — responsible gaming settings apply per account.
Click your profile icon in the top corner and open Account Settings. Look for the Responsible Gaming or Player Protection section in the menu.
Enter the maximum amount in PKR you want to be able to deposit per day, week or month. Confirm the limit — it applies immediately.
Choose how often you want to be reminded during play — every 30 minutes, every hour, or at a custom interval. Save your preference.
If you want to take a break, select the self-exclusion option, choose your period, and confirm. The restriction takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion window.
e98 is an adults-only platform. We take under-18 protection seriously and have multiple measures in place. However, if a minor has access to a device that an adult uses for gaming, additional steps at the household level are also important.
Every user must confirm they are 18+ during registration. Providing false information is a breach of our Terms and Conditions.
We may request a CNIC or equivalent identity document at any point to confirm the account holder is a genuine adult.
All withdrawal requests are reviewed. Inconsistencies between account details and payment method details flag for manual review.
