Who We Are

About 98pkt — Pakistan's Independent Betting Guide

We are not a casino, a bookmaker or a gambling operator. We are an independent information platform built specifically for Pakistani players who want straight answers, transparent breakdowns and honest guides — in plain English.

How 98pkt Came to Be

The Beginning
Spotting the Gap

Most online betting guides were written for European or Australian audiences — full of irrelevant licensing references, unfamiliar payment options and sports markets that had little to do with cricket, PSL or the ICC calendar. Pakistani players deserved better.

Building the Platform
Research, Structure, Launch

We spent months mapping the Pakistani player journey — from first registration and KYC to bonus claims, deposit options like Easypaisa and JazzCash, and responsible gambling tools. Every section of 98pkt reflects real questions asked by real players across Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Peshawar.

Today
Growing with the Community

98pkt continues to expand its content library — covering live-dealer platforms, sports betting markets, cryptocurrency deposit guides, and educational resources about wagering requirements and bonus terms — all written in natural English for Pakistan's digitally connected generation.

98pkt was founded on a straightforward conviction: Pakistani players navigating the world of online sports betting and casino gaming deserve access to clear, honest and locally relevant information. For too long, the best resources were tucked behind paywalls, buried in foreign-market bias, or padded with generic content that never once mentioned PSL odds, Raast bank transfers or the experience of a player in Multan trying to understand a rollover requirement.

We are an independent online betting and casino information platform. That independence is important to us. We do not hold a gambling operator licence. We do not process deposits or withdrawals. We are not affiliated with any specific casino or bookmaker in a way that would compromise our editorial integrity. What we do is research, write and present information — bonus structures, payment method comparisons, game category breakdowns, responsible gambling guides and practical tips — in plain professional English tailored for Pakistani readers.

Pakistan's digital ecosystem is evolving rapidly. Mobile wallet penetration through Easypaisa and JazzCash is transforming how people transact online. Younger audiences in Islamabad, Faisalabad and Lahore are increasingly comfortable with international digital platforms. The appetite for cricket betting during PSL seasons and ICC tournaments has never been higher. At the same time, there is a genuine need for transparent, responsible information that does not oversell, does not fabricate results and does not make misleading claims about legality or guaranteed returns.

That is the gap 98pkt was designed to fill. Every article, guide and breakdown we publish is held to the same standard: accurate, balanced, locally relevant and written with the Pakistani player's genuine interests in mind. We acknowledge the legal complexity surrounding online gambling in Pakistan — including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 — and we encourage all users to research applicable law in their own jurisdiction before participating in any form of online gambling. This is information, not legal advice.

Editorial Independence: 98pkt does not operate a casino or bookmaker. We do not claim to be licensed or regulated by any Pakistani government authority. All operator names, payment brand references and sports-league references are used for informational and contextual purposes only and do not imply endorsement or affiliation.

What We Stand For

Every decision we make — from what we write to what we refuse to publish — flows from six core commitments to our readers.

Total Transparency

We break down bonus terms, wagering requirements and withdrawal conditions in straightforward English. No vague small print, no inflated promises. A PKR 25,000 welcome bonus is meaningless without understanding the rollover — so we explain both.

Pakistan First

Our content is written for Pakistani players, not adapted from foreign templates. We reference PSL odds, JazzCash deposits, Islamabad-based operator experiences and cricket betting culture because these are the realities our readers face — not hypothetical European markets.

Responsible Gambling First

Every guide we publish reinforces responsible gambling principles. We include deposit limit guidance, self-exclusion information and adult-only notices as standard practice — not as afterthoughts. We believe entertainment should never come at the cost of financial wellbeing.

Editorial Independence

We do not operate any gambling service. This means our information is not skewed by revenue interests from a specific casino or bookmaker. When a bonus has unfair terms, we say so. When a withdrawal process has red flags, we flag them clearly.

English for Pakistani Readers

We write in clear, professional English suited to Pakistan's digitally engaged audience. We do not condescend, we do not simplify excessively and we do not switch to Urdu — though we happily explain how to find Urdu-language support when it matters to our readers.

Continuously Updated

The online betting landscape shifts fast — new operators launch, bonus structures change, payment processors update their policies and regulations evolve. We update our guides regularly to reflect current information, not stale snapshots from years past.

Serving Pakistani Players Honestly

Pakistan's sports betting culture is real and active — from the rooftop chatter during a Pakistan vs India T20 clash to the WhatsApp groups tracking PSL fixtures from Karachi to Faisalabad. We acknowledge this reality and choose to serve it with accurate, responsible information rather than ignore it or exploit it.

We understand that online gambling occupies a complex legal space in Pakistan. The Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977, and subsequent regulations create significant restrictions on gambling activities. We do not provide legal advice and we never suggest that accessing an online betting platform is definitively legal or illegal for any specific individual in Pakistan. We encourage every reader to consult applicable local law and, if necessary, seek professional legal guidance before engaging with any online gambling platform.

What we can do — and what we commit to doing — is present information that helps Pakistani players understand what they are engaging with. That means clear explanations of KYC requirements, honest assessments of bonus value in PKR terms, straightforward guidance on using deposit options like Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast and bank transfers from HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank or Bank Alfalah, and consistent responsible gambling messaging throughout every piece of content we publish.

Local Context, Not Generic Filler

We reference Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar because our readers live there. Local context means local relevance — and relevance means genuinely useful information.

Cricket, PSL and Beyond

Pakistan's love of cricket runs deep. We cover betting markets for PSL, ICC T20 World Cups, bilateral series and more — with practical tips, odds explanations and bankroll guidance rooted in the Pakistani sports calendar.

Mobile-Centric Pakistan

Most Pakistani internet users access content via mobile. Everything we produce — from our site layout to our payment guides covering Easypaisa and JazzCash — is designed for the smartphone-first experience that defines the Pakistani digital user.

No Compromises on Safety

We consistently advocate for platform security, responsible gambling tools and self-exclusion options. If a platform does not offer basic player protection features, we will not recommend it — regardless of bonus size.

Adults Only — No Exceptions

All content on 98pkt is intended for adults aged 18 or older — or the higher minimum required by the operator's licence jurisdiction. Underage gambling causes serious harm and we take our responsibility to prevent it seriously.

Our Editorial Pillars

Every piece of content published on 98pkt is guided by four non-negotiable editorial principles.

Research First

We verify information before publishing. Bonus terms, payment method details, operator conditions and responsible gambling resources are checked against current operator documentation, not assumed from templates.

Plain Language

Complex topics like wagering requirements, RTP, KYC and cryptocurrency deposits are explained in plain professional English. We avoid jargon where it does not add value, and we explain it where it does.

Balanced View

We present both benefits and limitations of platforms, bonuses and payment options. We do not inflate PKR figures, fabricate winners or manufacture urgency. If something has a drawback, we include it.

Regular Updates

Online gambling information has a shelf life. We review and update key articles periodically to reflect changes in operator terms, payment provider policies and regulatory developments relevant to Pakistani users.

Our Responsible Gambling Commitment

Responsible gambling is not a legal checkbox for us — it is a genuine editorial commitment woven into every page of 98pkt. We believe strongly that gambling should be entertainment, enjoyed by informed adults who understand the risks, set limits and know when to stop.

Throughout our guides we consistently highlight tools that responsible operators offer: deposit limits, loss limits, session time controls, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion programmes. We explain how these tools work in practical English so Pakistani players can use them confidently. We also note that gambling involves real financial risk and that no betting strategy, regardless of how sophisticated, guarantees profit.

We include adults-only notices across our content because underage gambling is harmful and we take our part in prevention seriously. All 98pkt content is intended for adults aged 18 or older — or the higher minimum required by the operator or licence jurisdiction. Local laws in Pakistan may restrict or prohibit online gambling participation — users must understand and comply with applicable law in their jurisdiction.

If gambling is causing financial, emotional or social harm to you or someone close to you, please seek help immediately from a recognised support organisation. For detailed guidance on managing gambling behaviour, visit our dedicated Responsible Gambling page.

🛡️ Remember: Gambling should always be entertainment — never treated as income. Set limits before you start, not after. 18+ only — or the higher minimum required by applicable law. Local regulations may restrict online gambling in your jurisdiction.
