Responsible Gaming at q98game —
Play Smart, Stay in Control
q98game believes every Pakistan player deserves an online gaming experience that is genuinely safe, fair, and sustainable. This page sets out q98game's complete Responsible Gaming framework — the tools available to you, how to recognise when gaming stops being fun, and how to get real support if you need it.
q98game is Strictly for Adults Aged 18 and Over
Access to all q98game services — casino games, HBL PSL cricket betting, jackpot slots, Cockfighting, and live dealer tables — is restricted to individuals who are at least 18 years of age. This is not a recommendation; it is an absolute rule that q98game enforces at registration and at every significant financial milestone on the platform. q98game uses CNIC-based identity verification to confirm age. Any account identified as belonging to a person under 18 will be immediately suspended, all balances will be held, and the matter will be reported to the relevant authority. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to use q98game. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor in your care has accessed q98game, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
Your Player Protection Tools
q98game provides six real, operational tools every Pakistan player can activate at any time — no barriers, no delays
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly PKR deposit cap directly from your q98game Account dashboard. Limit reductions take effect instantly — the moment you save the change, the lower limit is active. Limit increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they take effect, giving you time to reconsider. This deliberate friction is intentional and protective.
Session Time Reminders
Set time-based alerts that notify you at regular intervals during active gaming sessions — every 30 minutes, every hour, or at a custom interval you choose. When the reminder fires, q98game displays a clear notification of how long you have been playing and prompts you to decide whether to continue. These are honest check-ins, not dismissible pop-ups.
Cooling-Off Periods
Temporarily lock your q98game account for a defined period — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, make deposits, or place bets. Cooling-off periods activate immediately from your Account settings without needing to contact support. They cannot be cancelled once activated for the chosen duration.
Self-Exclusion
Request a full self-exclusion from all q98game services — casino, sportsbook, Cockfighting — for a minimum of 6 months, up to and including permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is enforced across all device types and cannot be reversed during the active period. Any new accounts created by a self-excluded player will be identified and closed immediately upon detection.
Reality Checks
q98game's reality check feature automatically displays a clear summary of your current session — time played, net PKR position for the session, and total bets placed — at regular intervals. Unlike basic session reminders, reality checks show you actual numbers so you can make a fully informed decision about whether to continue playing.
Activity Monitoring
q98game's responsible gaming team actively monitors account-level patterns — including sudden large deposit increases, rapid bet escalation, extended single sessions, and high-frequency Cockfighting or cricket betting activity — for indicators that a player may be experiencing difficulty. Where concerns arise, q98game may proactively reach out in English with responsible gaming information and support options.
What is Problem Gambling?
Gambling — whether on q98game's jackpot slots, live cricket betting on HBL PSL fixtures, Cockfighting bouts, or live casino tables — is designed to be an entertainment experience. For the vast majority of q98game's Pakistan players, it stays exactly that: a form of fun they can control and afford.
For a smaller number of people, however, gambling can shift from entertainment to a compulsive behaviour that begins to interfere with daily life, finances, family relationships, and mental wellbeing. This is called problem gambling, and it can develop gradually — often without the person involved fully recognising it is happening.
Problem gambling is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness. It is a recognised behavioural condition that can affect anyone regardless of background, income level, or gambling experience. The important thing is that it is treatable, and recovery is very achievable with the right support. q98game takes problem gambling among Pakistan players seriously and wants to make it as easy as possible to identify warning signs early and access help without stigma.
q98game's responsible gaming framework is built around one core principle: the best outcome for any Pakistan player is one where they can enjoy q98game sustainably over the long term. Players who are struggling are not good for q98game, and q98game does not want them to keep playing — we want them to get support.
Warning Signs to Watch For
If you recognise any of the following patterns in your own gambling behaviour on q98game or any other platform, it is worth taking a step back and using the tools available to you:
Needing to bet larger and larger PKR amounts to feel the same level of excitement
Returning to q98game immediately after a loss to try to win the money back
Hiding the extent of your gambling activity from family members or close friends
Gambling with money earmarked for essential expenses like rent, groceries, or bills
Spending significantly more time on q98game than you intended when you opened the app
Feeling anxious, irritable, or unhappy when you are not able to gamble
Borrowing money from family, friends, or taking loans specifically to fund gambling
Multiple failed attempts to cut down or stop your gambling despite wanting to
Need Immediate Help?
If you are worried about your gambling right now, use q98game's self-exclusion tool immediately via your Account settings, or contact the q98game support team at [email protected] available 24/7 in English. Your request will be treated with complete confidentiality and zero judgement.
Quick Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly — for yourself, not for q98game
Have you ever spent more time or more PKR on gambling than you originally planned to when you started a session?
Have you ever gambled to escape stress, anxiety, family problems, or financial pressure — rather than purely for entertainment?
Have you ever felt the urge to immediately return to a gaming platform after losing, specifically to try to recover what you lost?
Has a family member, friend, or colleague ever expressed concern about how much you gamble, or about the time and money you spend on gaming platforms?
Have you ever found yourself thinking about gambling frequently when you are away from it — planning your next session, reliving past wins or losses?
Have you ever used money that was intended for household expenses, education, or other important commitments to deposit into a gambling platform?
Have you ever felt that gambling has had a negative impact on your sleep, your relationships, your work, or your overall sense of wellbeing?
How to Self-Exclude from q98game
Self-exclusion is the most decisive responsible gaming tool available to q98game players in Pakistan. It removes access to the platform entirely for a defined period — or permanently — so that the option to gamble is simply not available. q98game has designed the self-exclusion process to be straightforward and fast, with no obstacles placed between you and taking this protective step.
Log in to Your q98game Account
Access your account via q98game.pro on any device. You do not need to contact support first — self-exclusion is a self-service option available directly in your account settings.
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming
Navigate to the Responsible Gaming section in your account dashboard. This section is permanently visible and accessible — it is never hidden or hard to find on the q98game platform.
Select Your Self-Exclusion Duration
Choose from the available self-exclusion periods shown below. Once selected and confirmed, your q98game account will be locked immediately. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets for the full duration of your chosen period.
Confirm Your Decision
You will be asked to confirm once before the exclusion activates. This is a single confirmation — there is no obstacle course of prompts designed to make you change your mind. Once confirmed, the exclusion is immediate and irrevocable for the chosen period.
Contact Support for Permanent Exclusion
For permanent self-exclusion with no future reopening option, contact the q98game support team directly at [email protected]. Permanent exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours and cannot be reversed at any future date.
Self-Exclusion Periods
q98game offers the following self-exclusion durations, available through Account settings without contacting support:
What Happens During Self-Exclusion
Your q98game account is immediately locked — no login, no deposits, no bets possible on any device or browser.
Any PKR balance remaining in your wallet is held securely and will be returned to you at the end of the exclusion period upon verified request.
All marketing communications — bonus offers, PSL betting promotions, jackpot alerts — are suspended for the full duration of the exclusion period.
Any new q98game account created using the same personal details, mobile number, or device during the exclusion period will be identified and closed immediately.
Self-exclusion periods cannot be shortened at the player's request — they run for the full duration to provide genuine protection.
Get Support — You Are Not Alone
q98game support channels and guidance resources available to every Pakistan player who needs help
q98game Live Chat
Instant English-language support available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For responsible gaming concerns — including self-exclusion requests, deposit limit queries, or general support — q98game's live chat team responds within 2 minutes.
q98game Support Email
For non-urgent responsible gaming queries — including permanent self-exclusion requests, account closure, or detailed questions about the tools available — email the q98game responsible gaming team. All emails are treated confidentially.
Talk to Someone
If you feel you need to speak to a qualified counsellor about your gambling rather than a platform support agent, please do not hesitate. Reaching out to a mental health or addiction counselling professional in Pakistan is a sign of strength, not weakness. Your GP or local health authority can connect you with resources.
Family and Trusted Friends
Talking to someone close to you about your gambling is one of the most effective early steps anyone can take. You do not need to be in crisis to have this conversation. If someone in your life has raised concerns about your gambling, taking those concerns seriously is genuinely worth your time.
q98game's Responsible Gaming Pledge
Our commitments to every Pakistan player — not aspirations, but operational standards
We will never market gambling to people who may be vulnerable. q98game does not target promotional communications at players who have recently self-excluded, who have recently activated a cooling-off period, or whose activity patterns suggest they may be in financial difficulty.
We will always make responsible gaming tools easy to find and use. q98game's deposit limits, session controls, cooling-off tools, and self-exclusion options are permanently accessible from the Account dashboard — they are never buried in sub-menus or made deliberately awkward to reach.
We will enforce the 18+ age requirement without exception. Every q98game account holder is required to be a minimum of 18 years of age. This requirement is verified by CNIC-based identity documentation at the first significant withdrawal milestone and any time q98game has reason to suspect underage access.
We will treat all responsible gaming requests with confidentiality and no judgement. Whether you contact q98game to set a deposit limit, take a cooling-off break, or request permanent self-exclusion, your request will be handled by our team with complete respect and no pressure to reconsider.
We will provide 24/7 English-language support for all responsible gaming matters. Pakistan players seeking help with gambling-related concerns have access to q98game's English-speaking support team at any hour of any day — not just during business hours, and not just via an automated chatbot.
We will regularly review and improve our responsible gaming tools. q98game's responsible gaming framework is reviewed quarterly against industry best practice. Where improvements are identified — whether in tool accessibility, monitoring capability, or support quality — q98game commits to implementing them promptly.
