qk98 is fully committed to responsible gambling. This page outlines every tool, limit and resource available to help you stay in control — whether you're following Pakistan cricket from Karachi, tracking a PSL final from Lahore, or playing live casino from Islamabad. Play smart, play within your means, and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.
Our Commitment
qk98 provides sports betting, live casino, slots and other gambling entertainment exclusively to adults. We understand that for the vast majority of players, gambling is a leisure activity — a way to add excitement to watching Pakistan cricket, the PSL, T20 internationals or a live UFC card. When kept in perspective, it is enjoyable.
However, we also know that gambling can become problematic for some individuals. Problem gambling causes real harm — financial strain, strained family relationships, mental health impacts, and loss of control. qk98 takes these risks seriously and has built responsible gambling tools directly into the platform, not as optional extras but as accessible, standard features of every account.
We encourage every player on qk98 — from Rawalpindi to Peshawar, from Multan to Faisalabad — to treat gambling as entertainment with a budget, not as a source of income. If at any point gambling stops being fun, please use the tools on this page or contact our support team.
Account Tools
Every tool listed below is available to all registered qk98 account holders. Contact our support team or access your account settings to activate any of these features.
Set a daily, weekly or monthly limit on how much you can deposit into your qk98 account. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased immediately — a mandatory cooling-off period applies before any upward adjustment takes effect. Reductions apply immediately.
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period — daily, weekly or monthly. When your loss limit is reached, qk98 will prevent further wagering for the remainder of that period. Loss limits are a powerful tool for staying within a budget regardless of how a session is going.
Set a maximum session duration after which qk98 will prompt you to take a break or automatically log you out. Long gambling sessions without breaks can distort judgement. Session time limits keep you aware of how long you have been playing.
Enable regular on-screen reminders that display your current session duration, net wagering result and total amount wagered. These prompts appear at intervals you choose and give you an accurate picture of your gambling activity during a session.
Take a short break from the platform — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — without fully closing your account. During a cool-off period, you will not be able to log in or wager. At the end of the period, access is automatically restored if you do not extend it.
Request a temporary self-exclusion (minimum 6 months) or an indefinite exclusion at any time. Once self-exclusion is active, qk98 will take all reasonable technical steps to prevent account access and will suppress marketing communications for the duration. Contact support to activate.
Step-by-Step
Setting limits on qk98 is straightforward. You do not need to justify your request or wait for approval — all protective limits take effect immediately upon confirmation. Increases to existing limits are subject to a mandatory review period of at least 24 hours before they become active.
Access your account via the platform. All responsible gambling settings are located in your Account Settings or Profile section.
Find the Responsible Gambling or Player Protection section within Account Settings.
Select the relevant limit type — deposit, loss, session time or wagering limit — and enter your chosen amount or duration.
Confirm the limit. Protective restrictions are active immediately. You will receive an email confirmation to your registered address.
If you encounter any difficulty or prefer to set limits via the support team, contact [email protected] (plain text — not a link) or use the live chat option. State your preferred limit type and value clearly.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling develops gradually and often goes unrecognised at first. The following warning signs — if recognised in yourself or someone you care about — are indicators that gambling has moved beyond entertainment. If several of these apply, please contact support or seek help from a responsible gambling resource.
Recognising the signs early gives you — or someone close to you — the best chance of regaining control before gambling causes serious harm.
Spending more money than you planned or more than you can comfortably afford to lose
Chasing losses — returning to gamble in an attempt to win back money already lost
Gambling with money needed for essential living expenses (rent, food, bills, family obligations)
Being unable to stop or walk away, even when you want to or intend to
Hiding gambling activity from family, friends or colleagues out of shame or fear of judgement
Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when not gambling, or when attempting to cut down
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity
Neglecting work, family, studies or religious obligations because of time spent gambling
Gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, boredom or personal problems
Needing to gamble with progressively larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement
Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly for yourself. If you find yourself answering "yes" to multiple questions, it may be time to use one of qk98's account protection tools or to seek support. There is no judgement here — only an invitation to reflect.
Have you ever gambled with money that was intended for something else — such as household bills, food, transport or family expenses?
Have you ever spent more time gambling than you intended, or found it difficult to stop once you started?
Have you ever gambled to try to recover money you had lost, rather than accepting the loss and stopping?
Have you hidden the extent of your gambling from people close to you, or felt the need to be secretive about it?
Has gambling caused arguments, tension or concern with family members, friends or colleagues?
Have you felt depressed, anxious or stressed as a result of gambling losses, or used gambling as a way to manage negative emotions?
Have you ever borrowed money, taken a loan or sold personal belongings specifically to fund gambling?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently during the day — planning your next session or reliving recent bets?
If you answered yes to two or more questions: Consider activating a deposit limit or cool-off period on your account. If you answered yes to four or more, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team at [email protected] (plain text) or use live chat to discuss self-exclusion options. You can also visit our FAQ for more guidance.
Self-exclusion is the strongest account restriction qk98 offers. It is designed for players who feel they are unable to control their gambling and need a firm barrier between themselves and the platform. It is not a punishment — it is a responsible tool and we encourage its use without hesitation when needed.
How self-exclusion works on qk98:
We also recommend using external parental control and site-blocking tools in conjunction with account-level self-exclusion for the strongest protection.
qk98 is strictly an adults-only platform. No one under 18 years of age — or the higher minimum age required by the operator/license jurisdiction — is permitted to register, deposit or wager.
Age verification is a mandatory part of the KYC process. If qk98 identifies or suspects that a minor has registered an account, the account will be suspended immediately, all funds returned, and the incident reported in line with applicable obligations.
Note on Pakistan law: Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977, and related legislation governs gambling activity locally. Being of legal adult age (18+) does not by itself make online gambling lawful in Pakistan. It is each individual user's responsibility to understand the laws applicable in their location. qk98 does not claim to be approved or regulated by the Government of Pakistan, PTA, the State Bank of Pakistan or any Pakistani provincial authority.
Parental Responsibility: If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned about a young person accessing gambling sites, consider using device-level parental control software or browser-level content filtering tools. These can block gambling sites at the device level as an additional layer of protection beyond age verification at the operator level.
If you wish to close your qk98 account permanently — rather than self-exclude — contact the support team and request account closure. Your verified balance will be returned to you. Note that closing an account and self-excluding are separate processes; if problem gambling is a concern, self-exclusion is the appropriate step, as it also suppresses marketing and re-registration attempts.

Self-exclusion is processed by the support team and is typically active within a few hours of a confirmed request. Contact live chat for the fastest response.
Will qk98 send me promotions during a cool-off or exclusion?
No. All marketing communications are suppressed during any active account restriction or exclusion period. If you receive a promotional email during a restriction period, contact support immediately.
Can someone else request limits on my behalf?
For data protection reasons, account restrictions can only be applied at the account holder's request. However, if a family member contacts us with a serious concern about a player's wellbeing, we will handle it with care and escalate internally where appropriate.
