Our Story

About 98pakr — Built for Pakistan's Betting Community

We set out with a clear purpose: to give Pakistani sports fans and online gaming enthusiasts an English-language platform that is honest, informative, mobile-friendly, and centred around the sports and experiences they care about most.

Who We Are

The 98pakr Story

98pakr was founded with a single driving belief: that Pakistani sports fans deserve a betting information and gaming platform that speaks their language — literally and culturally. From the narrow lanes of Karachi's markets to the wide boulevards of Islamabad, from the cricket grounds of Lahore to the bustling bazaars of Rawalpindi, Pakistan is a country that runs on sport. Cricket is a religion, PSL nights are social events, and an ICC tournament week stops the entire nation in its tracks.

Yet for years, online betting platforms targeting Pakistani audiences were either non-English affairs that felt foreign, or international sites that treated Pakistan as an afterthought — with no local context, no PKR currency displays, and no understanding of what actually matters to a fan in Faisalabad, Multan, or Peshawar. 98pakr was built to change that.

Our platform combines a comprehensive sports betting section — covering Pakistan cricket in full depth, PSL T20 fixtures, ICC tournaments, international football leagues, UFC events and more — with a broad casino offering that includes live dealer tables, slot games and instant-win titles. Everything is presented in clean, natural English suited to Pakistani readers, with PKR as the native currency display throughout.

We are an information and gaming platform, not a regulator. We do not claim that online gambling is approved by the Government of Pakistan, the PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan, or any Pakistani provincial authority. We encourage every user to satisfy themselves as to the legality of gambling in their jurisdiction before participating. Our role is to present information clearly, operate transparently, and give players the tools they need to make informed decisions.

We reference familiar Pakistani payment services — Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah — only as examples of the domestic payment landscape our users know. These providers do not endorse gambling activity, and any payment method availability must be verified in the live cashier at the time of use.

What Drives Us

Our Mission & Core Values

Everything at 98pakr is measured against a simple question: does this serve Pakistani users honestly, safely, and well? These values are the framework behind every decision we make.

Radical Transparency

Bonus terms, withdrawal conditions, odds margins and account rules are written in plain English. We do not bury important information in impenetrable small print.

Security by Default

SSL encryption, two-factor authentication options and robust KYC procedures protect every account. Security is infrastructure, not an optional feature.

Responsible Play First

Player wellbeing comes before revenue. Every user has access to deposit limits, loss limits, session timers and self-exclusion from the moment they register.

Mobile-First Pakistan

Pakistan is a mobile-first country. 98pakr is engineered to perform reliably on mid-range smartphones and variable network conditions across all major cities.

Community Understanding

We know what PSL means to a fan in Karachi on a Friday night. Sporting and cultural context is baked into how 98pakr presents odds, features games and communicates.

Honest Information

We do not fabricate licence numbers, invent regulatory approvals, or make claims we cannot substantiate. What we say is what we mean — nothing more, nothing less.

Platform Highlights

What Sets Us Apart

From the depth of our cricket markets to the clarity of our responsible gambling tools, here is what makes the 98pakr experience different.

Deep Cricket Coverage

Pakistan cricket is the heart of the 98pakr sportsbook. From bilateral Test series and ODI tours to PSL T20 nights and ICC World Cups, we cover the markets Pakistani fans actually want to bet on — ball-by-ball where available.

Live Dealer Casino

Professionally operated live dealer tables bring the feel of a real casino directly to your screen. Streamed in real time with English-speaking hosts, these games suit players across Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi who prefer the human element of table gaming.

Optimised Performance

Pages load fast on 4G connections and mid-range devices. We have trimmed unnecessary bloat so that players in Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar get the same smooth experience as those in major metropolitan areas.

PKR as Native Currency

Balances, bet amounts, bonuses and limits are all displayed in Pakistani Rupee (PKR / Rs). No mental conversion required — what you see in the cashier is exactly what you are working with, keeping budgeting clear and straightforward.

English & Urdu Support

Our primary support language is English — professional, clear and available 24/7 via Live Chat and the Help Centre. Urdu-language support is available during selected hours for players who are more comfortable communicating in Urdu.

Competitive Odds Presentation

Odds across cricket, football, UFC and other sports markets are presented clearly, without hidden margins buried in complex formatting. We believe informed bettors make better decisions — transparency in odds is part of that commitment.

Sports Coverage

Sports & Markets We Cover

The 98pakr sportsbook is anchored by Pakistan cricket but extends well beyond it. Whether you follow the IPL for context, track international football leagues, or stay up to watch UFC main events at midnight, our markets are built to serve genuine sports fans — not just casual bettors.

All odds and markets are updated in real time during live events. In-play betting lets you respond to what is actually happening on the pitch — a crucial advantage during the drama of a last-over PSL finish or a five-set tennis final.

"Our commitment to Pakistani users goes beyond putting a PKR symbol next to a number. It means understanding that a PSL semi-final is not just a match — it is a cultural moment. It means making sure that a first-time bettor in Rawalpindi gets the same clear information and the same responsible-gambling tools as a seasoned player in Karachi. That is what 98pakr is built to deliver."

Player Safety

Responsible Gambling Commitment

Responsible gambling is not a compliance checkbox at 98pakr — it is a founding principle. We believe that a platform which does not actively support player wellbeing is not a platform worth using. Every user, regardless of their activity level or account tier, has access to the same full suite of safety tools from the moment they create an account.

These tools include deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, reality check notifications and self-exclusion — ranging from a 30-day cooling-off period through to permanent account closure. Players who feel that gambling is negatively affecting their life or relationships are strongly encouraged to use these tools and to seek independent support.

18+ only, or the higher minimum required by the operator/license jurisdiction. Local laws, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 (Pakistan), may restrict or prohibit gambling.
