Sports betting and casino games on s98 are meant to be enjoyable. This page gives you the tools, knowledge and honest advice you need to keep your play within healthy limits – and to step back if things stop being fun.
Core Principles
Six ways s98 builds responsible gaming into the platform rather than just paying lip service to it.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit ceiling in PKR from your account settings. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a cooling-off period.
Decide in advance how long a single gaming session should last. When your time is up, s98 logs you out automatically so one more match or one more spin does not turn into four hours.
Need a short break? A cooling-off period suspends your account from accepting deposits and bets for a period you choose – from 24 hours up to several weeks.
If you need a more structured break, self-exclusion closes your account to all activity for a fixed period. During self-exclusion, deposits, bets and casino play are blocked entirely.
s98 monitors account activity for patterns that may suggest a player is struggling. If your play raises concern, the support team may reach out with information and options.
s98 is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Age verification is part of the registration process. Parents and guardians can use device-level controls for additional protection.
Responsible gaming means treating betting and casino play as a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money or solve financial problems. When you place a bet on a PSL match, spin a casino slot or join a Live Casino table on s98, the money you risk should be money you are comfortable losing. The moment the activity stops being fun – or starts affecting your finances, your relationships or your mental wellbeing – it has moved beyond entertainment.
This is not a message aimed only at people who are already in trouble. Responsible gaming habits are worth building from the very start – whether you are a casual cricket bettor who puts 200 PKR on a T20 fixture every now and then, or someone who enjoys a couple of Live Casino sessions each week. The habits you set early tend to stick.
s98 takes this seriously not because it is a formality but because the long-term health of a player's relationship with the platform matters. A player who manages their budget well and plays within their means is a player who can genuinely enjoy what s98 has to offer over the long run.
s98 gives you direct access to a set of tools designed to keep your gaming activity within limits you define yourself. These are available from your account settings at any time.
Cap how much PKR you can deposit per day, per week or per month. Limits take effect straight away. Reducing a limit is instant; increasing one requires a waiting period to give you time to reconsider.
Set a maximum session length. When the time runs out, you will receive a warning and then be logged out automatically. This prevents sessions from stretching far beyond what you originally planned.
Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, one week or longer. Your account is suspended from accepting deposits and wagers for the duration you select. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled early.
For a more structured break, self-exclusion locks your account for a defined period – weeks or months. All deposits, bets and casino activity are blocked. Any remaining PKR balance can be withdrawn after the period ends.
Problem gambling does not always arrive suddenly. It tends to develop gradually, and the early signs can be easy to dismiss or rationalise. Here are some of the most common warning signs. Recognising them early is the best time to act.
Spending more PKR on deposits than you originally planned, or making multiple deposits in a single session to cover losses.
Chasing losses – placing more bets to try to win back money you have already lost, especially when the session is not going well.
Feeling irritable, anxious or restless when you are not able to play or bet.
Hiding your betting or casino activity from family members, or being dishonest about how much time or money you are spending.
Neglecting work, studies or family responsibilities because of time spent on gaming or betting platforms.
Borrowing money, using credit or dipping into savings earmarked for necessities like rent, groceries or school fees in order to fund betting or casino deposits.
Feeling that you need to bet with larger amounts to get the same sense of excitement as before.
The following questions are designed to help you honestly evaluate your own relationship with betting and gaming. There are no right or wrong answers – this is purely for your own reflection.
These practical habits can make a real difference in keeping your betting and gaming experience positive over the long term.
s98 is exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. Age verification is required during registration, and accounts found to be operated by or on behalf of minors are closed immediately.
Parents and guardians play an important role in making sure that young people in the household do not access online gaming and betting platforms. A few practical steps can help:
If you suspect that a minor has accessed an s98 account – whether yours or a separate registration – contact support immediately. The team will act quickly to close the account and return any deposited funds to the originating payment method.
Accessing the responsible gaming tools on s98 is straightforward. Here is a step-by-step overview of how to find and use them.
Use your registered credentials to access your account. If you have forgotten your password, use the password reset option on the Login page.
Go to your profile or account settings area. Look for the Responsible Gaming or Player Protection section within the settings menu.
Select from Deposit Limits, Session Time Limits, Cooling-Off Period or Self-Exclusion. Each option includes a brief explanation of how it works before you confirm.
Enter the limit amount in PKR or the time period you want. Review and confirm. The tool takes effect immediately for deposit and time limit reductions.
If you cannot find a tool in your settings or want support applying a self-exclusion, the s98 support team is available 24/7 and can action responsible gaming requests as a priority.
Enjoy cricket betting, PSL markets, Live Casino and more – with built-in tools to help you stay in control of your time and PKR budget from day one.
