At ab98, we believe that gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial strain, or harm. Pakistan's premier online gaming platform is built with player wellbeing at its core. Our responsible gaming framework gives every player the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control at all times.
ab98's responsible gaming programme is built on six foundational pillars that together create a safer, more transparent, and more enjoyable gaming environment for every player in Pakistan.
Underage gambling is a serious issue. ab98 mandates age verification for every new account — no exceptions. We cross-check identity documents and actively monitor for signs of underage activity across all player accounts in Pakistan.
ab98 lets you set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits — as well as loss limits — directly from your account dashboard. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased instantly: a cooling-off period applies to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Losing track of time is one of the most common triggers for problem gambling. ab98 offers session duration reminders and hard time limits that will log you out automatically once your pre-set session time is reached — keeping your play healthy and mindful.
Need a short break? ab98's cooling-off feature lets you pause your account for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days — during which you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. All active sessions are immediately ended.
If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, ab98 offers full self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is completely locked and you will not receive any promotional communications from ab98.
Our live support team is available around the clock — including players from Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad — to help with any responsible gaming concern. Whether you need help setting limits, activating self-exclusion, or simply talking through your options, we are here.
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available to players on ab98. It is designed for players who feel they are no longer playing for entertainment and need a firm, enforced break from the platform.
When you self-exclude on ab98, the system does not simply restrict your account — it locks it completely. You will be unable to log in, access games, place bets, or make deposits for the full duration of your chosen exclusion period. Any pending withdrawal requests will still be processed to your registered payment method (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank account).
Crucially, ab98 also removes self-excluded players from all marketing communications immediately. You will not receive any bonus offers, promotional SMS, or email campaigns during your exclusion period. We take the integrity of this commitment very seriously.
Requests for self-exclusion are actioned within 24 hours of submission and in most cases are processed immediately. Once a self-exclusion period begins, it cannot be reversed or shortened — this is intentional, and it is there to protect you.
All exclusion options are available directly from your ab98 account dashboard under Settings → Responsible Gaming. You can also request exclusion via live chat support at any time.
A brief enforced pause. Ideal when you feel you are playing too frequently in a short period. Account is locked; no deposits or bets permitted. Takes effect immediately.
A longer pause that gives you meaningful time away from the platform. Suitable for players who have noticed their gambling habits affecting their daily routine or finances.
For players who recognise a more serious problem. Account is fully locked, all marketing stops immediately, and the exclusion cannot be reversed for the full chosen duration.
A permanent, irrevocable closure of your ab98 account. This option is for players who wish to stop online gaming entirely. Account closure is permanent and cannot be undone.
ab98 gives every player full control over how much they spend and how long they play. These tools are available immediately from your account dashboard — no waiting period to activate a lower limit.

Choose from deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, or session time controls. Each tool is clearly explained with examples in PKR.
Enter a PKR amount or time duration. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period for your protection.
Your limit is saved instantly. ab98's system enforces it automatically — no manual tracking required on your part. You can review or lower limits at any time.
Responsible gaming at ab98 starts with awareness. Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. The earlier the signs are recognised, the easier it is to take action.
Most players enjoy ab98's cricket betting, slots, and live casino games entirely within their means. But for a small number of people, gambling can shift from entertainment to something more difficult to manage. Knowing the warning signs is the first step to staying safe.
If any of the questions below feel uncomfortably familiar, please reach out to our support team or consider activating ab98's self-exclusion tools. There is no shame in recognising you need a break — it is the smart and responsible thing to do.
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a starting point for self-reflection. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these, it may be time to use ab98's responsible gaming tools or seek external support.
ab98 takes underage gambling prevention as seriously as any other player protection measure. Our multi-layered approach ensures that minors cannot access the platform — and that parents and guardians have the tools they need.
Every new ab98 account must pass identity verification before deposits or gameplay are permitted. Valid government-issued ID is required — no exceptions for any player across Pakistan.
If you share a device with a minor, ab98 strongly recommends enabling parental control software on your device. Tools like Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in OS parental controls can restrict access to online gaming platforms.
Never share your ab98 login credentials with anyone — especially not with minors. Keep your password private and enable two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorised access to your gaming account.
If you believe a minor is accessing ab98 — whether through a shared device or a separate account — please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate and act within 24 hours.
Whether you enjoy cricket betting, slots, or live casino games, these practical habits will help you keep your ab98 experience enjoyable and within healthy boundaries.
Decide in advance how much PKR you are comfortable spending in a session, and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment — not an investment. Use ab98's deposit limits to enforce this budget automatically.
Chasing losses is one of the most common and damaging patterns in problem gambling. If you have reached your session limit, accept the outcome and log out. Tomorrow is another day — and ab98 will still be there.
Long continuous sessions can distort your sense of time and money spent. Use ab98's session time reminders to prompt a break every 30 or 60 minutes. Step away, have some chai, and return with a clear head.
Online gaming is entertainment. The house always has a mathematical edge over the long run. Never rely on ab98 winnings as a source of income or use gaming to manage debt or financial stress.
A healthy gaming life includes plenty of other interests — family time, sports, socialising with friends in Karachi or Lahore, or watching live PSL matches. ab98 is one part of your leisure time, not all of it.
If gaming is starting to affect your mood, relationships, or finances — talk about it. Whether it is ab98's support team via live chat, a trusted family member, or a professional counsellor, reaching out is always the right move.
ab98 is Pakistan's premier online gaming platform, and we want every player to have a fun, safe, and sustainable experience. Use our responsible gaming tools, set your limits, and play with confidence. 21+ only. Please gamble responsibly.
