18+ Only — This platform is strictly for adults. Gambling involves real financial risk. Play responsibly and within your means.
At 698pkr, responsible gambling is not a legal footnote — it is a core commitment. This page gives you the tools, information and guidance to stay in control of your play at every step.
Gambling — whether on a PSL T20 match, a live casino table or an ICC cricket final — is a form of entertainment. At its best, it adds excitement to sport and gives you a stake in the moment. But it only stays enjoyable when you are playing within your means, with a clear head, and with firm boundaries already in place.
Responsible gambling means making active choices: deciding in advance how much you are willing to spend, setting hard limits that prevent you from going beyond that amount, and knowing when to stop — especially after a loss. It is the difference between gambling as a pastime and gambling as a problem.
698pkr provides practical tools to help you make those choices and to enforce them automatically. These are not just features buried in a settings menu — they are core to how the platform operates, and we strongly encourage every user to engage with them before placing their first bet.
Pakistan has a rich and passionate cricket culture, and events like PSL season, ICC tournaments and bilateral series can create intense, emotionally driven moments. It is precisely in those high-stakes moments — when your team is one wicket away from a win — that clear pre-set limits matter most. Set them before the match starts, not during it.
Pakistan has gambling restrictions in place, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. Online and remote gambling may be restricted or prohibited in your area. 698pkr does not claim government authorisation or licensing by any Pakistani authority. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with local law before participating. This page does not constitute legal advice.
Treat your gambling budget as entertainment spend — like a cinema ticket — not as a reliable source of PKR income. The house always holds a long-term edge.
Long sessions impair decision-making. Set a time limit before you start, and step away when it expires — regardless of whether you are up or down.
Chasing a loss with a bigger bet is one of the most common patterns of problem gambling. If you have hit your limit, stop. The next match is always there.
If gambling stops being fun — if it feels like an obligation, a stress or a way to solve financial problems — that is a clear signal to step back.
Talking to someone you trust — a friend or family member in Karachi, Lahore or wherever you are — is often the most effective first step when gambling feels out of control.
Every betting market has a built-in margin. Understanding that winning is not guaranteed — even on strong cricket bets — helps you maintain realistic expectations.
These tools are built into your 698pkr account and can be activated at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once the limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a deposit limit requires a cooling-off period — decreasing one takes effect right away. We strongly recommend setting your deposit limit in PKR before your first deposit.
Set a cap on the total amount you are willing to lose in a given time period. If your net losses reach the limit you have set, betting and gaming activity will be restricted for the remainder of that period. This tool is particularly valuable during emotionally charged cricket matches where impulse decisions are common.
Choose how long you want to be active in a single session. When your time limit is reached, you will receive an automatic notification and, if you have enabled mandatory breaks, the platform will log you out. This helps you avoid extended sessions that can cloud judgement.
Take a short break from the platform — choose from 24 hours, 48 hours, one week or one month. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, make deposits or place bets. Pending withdrawals will still be processed. A cooling-off is a voluntary, reversible break — different from self-exclusion.
If you feel that your gambling is out of control, self-exclusion allows you to close your account for a minimum period of six months or permanently. Once self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat or email. This is the most comprehensive player protection tool available and should be used without hesitation if needed.
Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals (every 30 or 60 minutes) that show you how long you have been playing, your net activity for the session, and a prompt to continue or exit. These interruptions break the rhythm of prolonged sessions and help you stay aware of your play.
Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. It tends to develop gradually, often disguised as a run of bad luck or a temporary phase. Recognising the warning signs early — in yourself or someone you care about — is the most important step toward getting help.
If any of the following patterns feel familiar, we strongly encourage you to use one of our player protection tools immediately and to seek support.
Answer these questions honestly. If you find yourself answering "Yes" to several of them, please consider activating a cooling-off period or self-exclusion, and reach out to our support team.
Have you ever gambled more than you intended to in a single session?
Have you ever increased your bet to try to recover a previous loss?
Do you keep your gambling activity secret from people you are close to?
Has gambling affected your finances, relationships or work negatively?
Do you find it difficult to stop gambling when you are on a losing streak?
Have you used gambling as a way to deal with stress or personal problems?
This self-assessment is for informational purposes only and is not a clinical diagnostic tool. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, please seek support from a qualified professional.
The 698pkr platform is available exclusively to adults. We take this requirement seriously and apply verification checks to enforce it.
Every new user must confirm their date of birth during registration. Accounts are subject to KYC verification requiring a valid CNIC or passport for Pakistani users.
If a minor in your household has access to the same device, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls and ensuring that your 698pkr account credentials are not accessible to children.
Any account found to belong to a person under 18 (or the higher minimum required by the licence jurisdiction) will be closed immediately. No winnings will be paid and the matter may be reported to the relevant authority.
If you believe a minor is using a 698pkr account, contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act promptly.
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protection tool available on 698pkr. If you feel that gambling is no longer something you can manage safely, self-exclusion lets you close your account for a defined period — or permanently — so that you cannot continue.
Self-exclusion is not a punishment or a sign of weakness. It is a responsible decision, and our team will handle your request with full confidentiality and without judgement.
Log in to your 698pkr account and open the live chat widget. Tell the support agent that you want to activate self-exclusion. Provide the duration you require. Your account will be restricted immediately upon verification of your identity.
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered username and the exclusion period you are requesting. Our team will process your request and confirm by return email.
Navigate to your Account Settings and select the Responsible Gambling section. From there you can activate a cooling-off period or submit a self-exclusion request directly through the platform interface.
Once self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be undone before the exclusion period expires — even if you change your mind. This is a deliberate protection to prevent impulsive requests to reinstate an account. Minimum self-exclusion period is six months.
If gambling is causing harm — to your finances, your relationships, or your mental health — you do not have to deal with it alone. The following are general guidance resources. 698pkr does not endorse or affiliate with any external organisation. Seek advice from qualified professionals in your area.
Opening up to a family member or close friend in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad or your city is often the most impactful first step. You do not need to face this alone, and there is no shame in asking for help.
Psychiatrists and psychologists in Pakistan's major cities — Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Faisalabad and Multan — can provide clinical support for compulsive behaviour, anxiety and financial stress related to problem gambling.
Several NGOs and hospital-linked mental health helplines operate in Pakistan. Searching for mental health support or counselling services in your city can connect you with qualified professionals. Rozan's Counselling Helpline (0800-22444) is one commonly referenced resource.
Gamblers Anonymous is an international fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other to solve their common problem. GA meetings and resources may be accessible online regardless of your location in Pakistan.
Our 24/7 support team can activate player protection tools, suspend your account or escalate your case immediately. Contact us at [email protected] or via live chat — available around the clock.
Problem gambling affects family members too. Organisations like Gam-Anon provide support specifically for the families and friends of people with gambling problems. Information is available online and may be relevant for Pakistani families dealing with a loved one's gambling harm.
The organisations and resources mentioned above are provided for general reference only. 698pkr does not formally partner with, endorse or verify the current availability or quality of any external organisation or helpline. Always verify that any professional or support service is appropriately qualified and available in your area before relying on them.
These are straightforward habits that experienced bettors use to keep gambling enjoyable and within limits.
Before a PSL match or ICC fixture, decide how much you are willing to spend — and treat that amount as spent the moment you decide it. Do not top it up if you lose.
Late-night sessions on a mobile device are when most impulsive bets happen. If you are tired, put the phone away. Nothing is riding on a bet that is made half-asleep.
Alcohol or any substance that impairs judgement significantly increases the risk of placing bets you would not make with a clear head. Keep gambling and substances separate.
Build pauses into every session — step away from the screen, get some water, take a walk. Regular breaks reduce the tunnel-vision effect that sustained betting sessions can create.
Using borrowed money — from friends, family or a credit facility — to fund gambling is a serious warning sign. Only gamble with money you can genuinely afford to lose outright.
Winning streaks can feel like skill; losing streaks can feel personal. Neither is accurate. Set a win limit as well as a loss limit — walking away ahead is a skill in itself.
Responsible gambling is the foundation of a sustainable and enjoyable experience on 698pkr. Set your limits today — before you need them.
