Our Philosophy

Gaming Should Always Be Fun

e98com was built for players across Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, and beyond who enjoy cricket betting, live casino, and slots as a leisure activity. We take our duty of care seriously — which is why responsible gaming is not an afterthought at e98com. It is built into the platform from day one.

Remember: Gambling is entertainment. It should never be used as a way to earn income, recover financial losses, or cope with personal stress. Always set a budget before you play and stick to it.

What Does Responsible Gaming Mean?

Responsible gaming at e98com means playing within your means, with full awareness of the risks involved, and with access to tools that keep you in control. It means understanding that every game on the platform — whether it is a PSL cricket bet, a slot spin, or a live dealer hand — carries inherent risk, and that outcomes are determined by chance, not skill or strategy alone.

e98com's responsible gaming programme is designed to help players across Pakistan maintain healthy gambling habits. We provide practical tools like deposit limits, session timers, cool-off periods, and full self-exclusion options. We also offer educational resources so that players can recognise the early signs of problem gambling before it escalates.

Our Commitment to Pakistani Players

We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment. Our platform uses verified random number generators (RNGs) for all casino games, meaning every outcome is genuinely random and cannot be manipulated. We display clear odds information on all sports betting markets, including PSL and international cricket, so players can make informed decisions.

e98com will never target vulnerable players with promotional offers, send unsolicited gambling encouragement to players who have opted out of marketing, or make it difficult to access responsible gaming tools. Our self-exclusion process takes effect immediately upon request — no delays, no persuasion attempts.

Important: If you feel that your gambling is no longer under your control, please use our self-exclusion tool or contact our support team immediately. Your wellbeing is far more important than your play activity on e98com.

Player Safety Tools

Six Ways e98com Keeps You in Control

Every registered e98com player has instant access to these six responsible gaming tools directly from their account dashboard. No waiting period, no approval required.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Limits can be lowered instantly but require a 24-hour cooling period to increase — protecting you from impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

Define how long you want your gaming sessions to last. e98com will send you a reminder notification when your session limit approaches and automatically log you out when it is reached. Staying mindful of time spent on the platform is one of the simplest and most effective responsible gaming habits.

Cool-Off Periods

Take a short break from e98com without permanently closing your account. Cool-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month are available. During a cool-off, your account is suspended, all marketing communications are paused, and you cannot make deposits or place bets.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a powerful tool for players who feel they need a longer break. You can exclude yourself from e98com for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. This is our most robust protection tool.

Reality Checks

Enable on-screen reality check pop-ups that appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each pop-up shows how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session, giving you an honest, real-time picture of your activity before you decide to continue or stop.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly. When your loss limit is reached, e98com will automatically prevent further betting activity for that period. This tool is especially useful for sports bettors following PSL, cricket, and other live markets.


Step by Step

How to Self-Exclude on e98com

Requesting a self-exclusion on e98com is straightforward and takes effect immediately. Here is exactly how to do it from your account or via our support team.

Immediate Effect: All self-exclusion requests on e98com are processed instantly. There is no waiting period, no confirmation delay, and no attempt by our team to persuade you to reconsider. Your safety comes first.
01
Log In to Your e98com Account

Access your e98com account via the e98com Login page. If you are unable to log in, contact our 24/7 live chat support team directly and they will process your self-exclusion request on your behalf without requiring you to access your account.

02
Navigate to Responsible Gaming Settings

From your account dashboard, locate the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings. This section is prominently displayed and is never buried — e98com makes it easy to find these tools because we want players to use them when they need to.

03
Select Your Self-Exclusion Period

Choose from a self-exclusion period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent exclusion. Consider your situation carefully. If you are unsure which period to choose, our support team can guide you through the options in both English and Urdu.

04
Confirm Your Request

Confirm your self-exclusion request. Your account will be suspended immediately. All pending withdrawals of your deposited funds will be processed normally. You will receive a confirmation email and all marketing communications from e98com will stop instantly.

05
Seek Additional Support If Needed

Self-exclusion from e98com is a meaningful step, but if you are struggling with problem gambling we encourage you to also seek support from a qualified counsellor or a dedicated problem gambling helpline. Taking care of yourself goes beyond platform settings.


Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Understanding the warning signs early gives you the best chance of addressing the issue before it affects your finances, relationships, and wellbeing.

Financial distress is one of the most common indicators of problem gambling. Watch out for the following:
  • Spending more on gambling than you originally planned or can comfortably afford.
  • Borrowing money from family, friends, or taking loans to fund gambling activity.
  • Neglecting household expenses — rent, groceries, utility bills — to deposit more on e98com or any other platform.
  • Chasing losses by depositing more after a losing session in an attempt to recover funds.
  • Hiding gambling transactions from family members or a spouse.

Problem gambling does not only affect your wallet — it affects your mental state and daily behaviour:
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to gamble.
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems.
  • Becoming preoccupied with gambling — constantly thinking about past sessions or planning the next bet.
  • Lying to family members or close friends about how much time or money you spend gambling.
  • Feeling guilt or shame after gambling sessions but returning anyway.

Gambling problems often have a significant impact on personal relationships and social life:
  • Withdrawing from family gatherings, social events, or responsibilities because of time spent gambling.
  • Arguments with a spouse, parents, or siblings over money or time spent on gambling platforms.
  • Neglecting work, studies, or professional responsibilities due to preoccupation with gambling.
  • Losing interest in hobbies or activities you previously enjoyed.

Perhaps the most critical warning signs relate to a felt loss of control over gambling behaviour:
  • Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to do so.
  • Needing to bet increasingly larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement (tolerance).
  • Continuing to gamble even after suffering significant financial losses or relationship damage.
  • Being unable to stop mid-session even when you intended to play for only a short time.

Self-Assessment

Ask Yourself These Questions

Answering honestly — even privately — is the first step towards understanding your relationship with gambling. If you answer "yes" to two or more of the following questions, we strongly encourage you to use our responsible gaming tools or reach out to our support team.

Q1 Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you initially planned during a single session?
Q2 Have you ever returned to e98com or another platform to try to win back money you had lost?
Q3 Have you ever hidden your gambling activity or the amount you have spent from a family member or friend?
Q4 Have you ever felt that gambling was causing financial stress, arguments, or problems in your personal life?
Q5 Have you ever felt restless or irritable when you tried to reduce or stop gambling?
Q6 Has gambling ever interfered with your work, studies, or daily responsibilities?
Q7 Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund gambling activity?
Q8 Have you tried to stop gambling but found yourself unable to resist returning?
If you answered yes to two or more questions, please consider activating a deposit limit, cool-off period, or self-exclusion through your e98com account settings. You can also contact our support team at any time via live chat — available 24/7 in English and Urdu. Your privacy is fully respected throughout this process.

Healthy Habits

Tips for Safer Gambling on e98com

Most e98com players enjoy cricket betting, live casino, and slots as a fun pastime. These practical tips help you keep it that way — on your terms, within your budget.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide on a fixed amount in PKR that you are comfortable losing before you deposit on e98com. Treat this as the cost of entertainment — like buying a cinema ticket. Never gamble with money you need for rent, groceries, or other essential expenses.

Set a Time Limit

Decide how long you intend to play before you start — and stick to it. Use e98com's built-in session timer to enforce this automatically. Long sessions lead to fatigue and poorer decision-making, which increases the risk of chasing losses.

Never Chase Your Losses

If you have reached your session budget, stop — regardless of how the session went. Chasing losses by depositing more is one of the most common patterns in problem gambling. Accept that losing is part of the game, and walk away with your limits intact.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from e98com regularly, especially during long cricket betting sessions or extended slot play. Grab a chai, step outside, or call a friend. Regular breaks maintain perspective and help prevent the kind of absorbed, automatic play that can lead to overspending.

Do Not Gamble When Emotional

Avoid betting on e98com when you are feeling stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states lead to impulsive decisions and poor risk assessment. Save your session for when you are in a calm, clear-headed frame of mind.

Keep Gambling in Perspective

e98com is one entertainment option among many. Keep other interests in your life — cricket matches with friends, family time, exercise, hobbies. Gambling should complement your life, not dominate it. If it starts to feel like an obligation rather than a choice, use our cool-off tool.


Protecting Young People

Keeping Minors Off e98com

e98com enforces a strict 21+ age policy across all of its services. We do not permit any person under the age of 21 to register or use our platform in any capacity. This is both a legal requirement and a core ethical commitment that we take with the utmost seriousness.

During the registration process, all players are required to verify their age by providing a valid government-issued identity document — such as a Pakistani CNIC or passport. Any account where the registered player is found to be under 21 is immediately and permanently closed, with deposited funds returned where applicable.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians in Pakistan to make use of parental control software on shared devices and home computers to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms, including e98com.

Parental Controls: If you share a device with young family members, consider enabling parental control software to block access to gambling websites. This is an important layer of protection that operates independently of the safeguards e98com applies at the account level.
Mandatory KYC Verification

Every e98com player must complete identity verification using a valid Pakistani CNIC or passport. Age verification is a mandatory step — no deposits or withdrawals are permitted until KYC is successfully completed.

Automated Monitoring

Our platform uses automated systems to flag accounts showing unusual registration patterns that may indicate underage access attempts. Flagged accounts are reviewed by our compliance team and suspended pending verification.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Any affiliate, agent, or third party found to be directing underage individuals towards e98com will have their partnership terminated immediately. We apply zero tolerance at every level of our distribution and marketing operations.

Report Underage Access

If you believe a minor is using or attempting to use an e98com account, please report it to our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate all such reports as a matter of urgency and take appropriate action without delay.
