About Us – 98 Games, Pakistan's Trusted Online Betting Platform

Our Story

How 98 Games Became Pakistan's Go-To Betting Platform

Every platform has an origin story. Ours is pretty simple. A small team of people who grew up in Pakistan, who watched cricket obsessively and had strong opinions about batting orders and bowling changes, looked at the available betting options and felt something important was missing.

The platforms that existed were built for other markets. The payment options were inconvenient. The PSL coverage was shallow. The odds on Pakistan cricket were often the weakest on the page. Customer support operated in time zones that had nothing to do with a Pakistan vs India T20 at 7pm PKT. It was not that the platforms were bad — they just were not built for us.

So 98 Games was built instead. We started with the fixtures Pakistani bettors actually care about: PSL, international cricket, domestic T20 leagues, and the football tournaments that have a genuine following in the country. We integrated Easypaisa and JazzCash from day one because we knew those were how most of our users would want to deposit and withdraw. We built the platform to work fast on 4G connections because that is how most Pakistani users access the internet.

None of this was complicated to figure out. It just required actually knowing the market rather than treating Pakistan as an afterthought on a global platform. That clarity of focus is still the central thing that separates 98 Games from the competition, and it informs every decision we make — from market depth on PSL matches to the minimum deposit amount we set.

"We did not set out to build the biggest platform in the world. We set out to build the best one for Pakistan. That focus is what keeps our users coming back."

What Makes Us Different

Six Things That Define 98 Games as a Platform

These are not marketing bullet points — they are the actual decisions we made when building 98 Games and the reasons our users keep recommending us to their friends.

The Deepest PSL Coverage in Pakistan

The Pakistan Super League is the event that defines the betting calendar here, and 98 Games treats it that way. Over 100 markets on every PSL match — match winner, live in-play, over runs, toss, player performance, sixes totals, and tournament outrights. Pre-match odds open 72 hours before each fixture so you have time to think and compare. No other platform gives Pakistani fans this level of PSL betting depth in their own currency.

Payments That Actually Work Here

Easypaisa and JazzCash are not an afterthought at 98 Games — they were the first integrations we built. NayaPay, SadaPay, and IBFT bank transfers are also supported. Every transaction is in PKR. There is no conversion fee, no mysterious currency processing delay, and no minimum deposit that requires you to move a significant portion of your monthly salary before you can place a bet. The minimum deposit is Rs 200. Withdrawals typically land in your mobile wallet within ten minutes.

Mobile Experience Built for Pakistani Networks

The 98 Games platform loads quickly on a 4G connection in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, and everywhere between. We optimised every screen, every animation, and every data request for the actual conditions Pakistani users experience — not for a fibre broadband connection in a European office. The betting slip takes fifteen seconds from landing on the page to confirmed bet. In-play odds refresh without the page needing to reload. This is what mobile-first actually means in practice.

Fairness and Transparency You Can Verify

Every game and market on 98 Games operates under documented rules that are publicly available. Virtual sports use certified RNG technology with published audit reports. Sports betting markets carry payout percentages that are visible before you bet. We do not hide margins behind confusing pricing. If you want to know what the house edge is on a particular market, you can find that information without contacting support. Honest pricing is a baseline for us, not a feature.

Support That Speaks Your Language

When something goes wrong with a deposit at midnight during a PSL match, the last thing you want is to type in English to a chatbot in a different time zone. 98 Games support operates across Pakistan Standard Time, handles queries in both English and Urdu, and uses real agents for any issue that is not instantly resolved by the automated FAQ. Average response time during peak PSL match hours is under four minutes. We track it because we think it matters.

Rewarding Loyalty From Day One

98 Games does not reserve good treatment for high rollers. The welcome bonus is available to all new registrations. The referral programme pays Rs 500 for every friend you bring to the platform. The reload bonus structure applies to regular players regardless of stake size. Virtual sports credits, cashback on select PSL markets, and tier upgrades for active bettors all apply from the moment you create an account. Good value should not require proving you will spend a lot first.

What We Stand For

The Values That Guide Every Decision at 98 Games

A platform's values only mean something if they show up in the actual product. Here is how ours do.

Pakistan First, Always

Every feature decision starts with a simple question: does this make the 98 Games experience better for Pakistani users? If the answer is not clearly yes, it does not make the cut. This sounds obvious but it is easy to drift away from when scaling a platform.

Honest Operations

We publish payout percentages. We document our market rules before disputes arise, not after. We do not change terms quietly. If something important changes at 98 Games, registered users receive notice in advance. Transparency is not a PR exercise — it is how we run the business.

Responsible Gambling is Non-Negotiable

We care about the long-term wellbeing of our users more than short-term deposit figures. 98 Games provides deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion tools, and links to support resources through our Responsible Gaming page. None of these are buried in the site. They are in the account settings where they belong.

Continuous Improvement

The 98 Games product today is meaningfully better than it was twelve months ago. We release product updates based on user feedback, platform analytics, and what we observe in the market. The platform will be meaningfully better twelve months from now. We are not satisfied with good enough.

The Platform

What You Can Do at 98 Games Right Now

98 Games is not a single-product platform. When users come here, they find a genuinely broad selection of betting and gaming options, all built with the same Pakistani-focused design principles that started the whole thing.

Sports betting covers PSL, international cricket, domestic T20 leagues, Premier League football, Champions League, and a range of other markets with full pre-match and in-play betting. The odds are updated frequently and the market coverage is among the deepest available to Pakistani bettors anywhere.

Virtual sports run 24 hours a day. Virtual cricket T10, T20, and ODI format games simulate real matches using certified RNG technology, with each event completing in two to eight minutes. Virtual football, horse racing, greyhounds, and basketball are also available. If there is no live match you want to bet on, virtual sports at 98 Games give you real betting markets at any hour.

Crash games and card games round out the offering. Crash games — where the multiplier climbs until it crashes and you decide when to cash out — have become one of the fastest-growing sections on the platform. Baccarat and other card formats attract players who prefer table game mechanics to sports analysis.

All of it runs on one account, one wallet, one PKR balance. No switching between apps, no managing separate balances. That unified experience is something we are genuinely proud of.

The People Behind 98 Games

A Team That Actually Understands Pakistani Cricket Culture

We are not a faceless corporation. 98 Games is run by people who care deeply about Pakistan cricket, who have argued about PSL team selections in the same WhatsApp groups as our users, and who genuinely want the platform to be better every week.

Playing Responsibly

98 Games Takes Responsible Gaming Seriously — Here Is Why That Matters

We want 98 Games to be something Pakistani users can enjoy sustainably over time. That means being genuinely honest about the fact that betting involves risk, that outcomes are uncertain, and that no strategy guarantees profit over the long run.

The responsible gaming tools built into 98 Games are not there to satisfy a regulatory requirement and then be hidden in a corner. They are in your account settings, clearly labelled, and designed to be used. Deposit limits let you set a weekly or monthly cap on how much you can add to your 98 Games account. Session reminders notify you when you have been logged in for an extended period during active betting. Self-exclusion allows you to pause your account for a defined period or permanently — no questions asked beyond identity verification.

We also work with information resources that can help if betting is becoming a concern. Details are on our Responsible Gaming page. If you think you or someone you know may be developing a problematic relationship with gambling, please use those resources. 98 Games would rather lose a customer to self-exclusion than keep them on the platform against their own interests.

This is not performative. The responsible gaming team at 98 Games monitors account-level indicators — unusual deposit patterns, late-night activity spikes, rapid successive losses — and can proactively reach out to users who may be at risk. It is an imperfect system but it is a real one, and we are constantly working to improve it.
