Responsible Gaming
at e98

At e98, gaming is meant to be an enjoyable experience — not a source of stress or financial hardship. This page covers everything Pakistani players need to know about safe gambling practices, the tools e98 provides to keep you in control, and where to find help if you ever need it.

Our Responsible Gaming Framework

e98 operates under an international gaming licence whose conditions include mandatory responsible gaming obligations. Here is how we meet and exceed those obligations for our Pakistani players.

Age Verification

Every new e98 account must pass CNIC-based age verification before any real-money activity is permitted. Players found to be under 21 have their accounts permanently closed and deposits refunded to the originating payment method.

Player Limit Controls

e98 gives every player direct access to deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, and session time limits — configurable from the account settings panel. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and increases require a mandatory cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion

Players can self-exclude from e98 for periods ranging from 30 days up to permanent exclusion. During any active self-exclusion period, all access to the e98 platform is blocked and marketing communications are suspended immediately.

Reality Checks

Session reminders pop up at player-defined intervals during active gaming sessions, showing real-time session duration, net win/loss for the session, and a prompt to review whether to continue. These reality checks cannot be dismissed permanently.

Cool-Off Periods

Players can take a short break from e98 without committing to full self-exclusion — cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days are available. During a cool-off, your account is temporarily suspended and deposits are not possible.

24/7 Support

e98's live support team — available in both Urdu and English — is trained to recognise and sensitively respond to responsible gaming concerns. Any player who reaches out for help will be guided to the appropriate tools and resources without delay.

Player Limit Tools

e98 gives players full control over their spending and time on the platform. All limits are available in the account settings panel after login. Setting a limit is free, instant, and does not require contacting support.

Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Any request to increase a limit is subject to a mandatory 48-hour reflection period before the higher limit is applied.

How to Self-Exclude on e98

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available on the e98 platform. If you feel that gambling is no longer fun — or that it is causing financial or emotional strain — taking a break is the right call. Here is how to do it on e98 in a few simple steps.

Log In to Your Account

Access the e98 platform and navigate to your account settings — the gear icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard after logging in.

Open Responsible Gaming Settings

Select "Responsible Gaming" from the account settings menu. All player protection tools — limits, cool-off, and self-exclusion — are located in this section.

Choose Your Exclusion Period

Select from 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Read the summary of what the chosen period entails before confirming your selection.

Confirm the Request

Confirm your identity via your registered mobile number OTP. The exclusion is activated immediately — account access is blocked and all marketing communications stop at once.

Contact Support If Needed

If you cannot access your account to initiate self-exclusion, our 24/7 live chat support team can process the request on your behalf after identity verification. Urdu-speaking agents are available.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious — even to the person experiencing it. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or chasing losses by increasing stakes to try to win back what was lost.

Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or financial worries — using it as an emotional outlet rather than entertainment.

Hiding gambling activity from family members, especially from parents, spouses, or close friends in Karachi, Lahore, or wherever you are based.

Borrowing money — via bank, JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or from family — specifically to fund gambling activity or to cover gambling-related debts.

Feeling irritable, restless, or anxious when not gambling, or when attempting to reduce or stop gambling activity.

Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health as a result of time and money spent on gambling platforms.

Recognising these signs is a sign of strength, not weakness. e98 support is available 24/7 — reach out via live chat any time and our team will help you access the right tools and resources without judgement.

Quick Self-Assessment

The following questions are adapted from widely-used responsible gaming self-assessment frameworks. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these, consider speaking to our support team or using one of the e98 player protection tools.

Ask Yourself Honestly

There are no right or wrong answers — this is a private reflection tool for your own benefit.

Have I ever spent more money gambling in a single session than I planned before I started?

Have I ever returned to the e98 platform the next day to try to win back money I lost the previous day?

Have I ever lied to a family member or friend about how much time or money I have spent gambling online?

Has gambling ever caused me to neglect my work, studies, or family responsibilities?

Have I ever borrowed money or sold something to fund my gambling activity?

Do I feel anxious or irritable when I go for several days without gambling?

Have I ever felt that I need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?

If any of these questions gave you pause, you are not alone — and you have the full support of the e98 responsible gaming team. Use the self-exclusion or limit tools in your account settings, or contact our live chat support right now. Our Urdu-speaking agents are on standby around the clock.

Responsible Gaming — Common Questions

e98 strictly enforces the 21+ age restriction on all Pakistani players. If an account is found to belong to someone under 21 — whether discovered during routine KYC review, player-reported, or flagged by our system — the account is permanently closed immediately. Any deposits held in the account are refunded to the originating payment method (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, or bank account) after verification that no fraudulent activity was involved. Winnings accrued by underage players are forfeited.

Self-exclusion periods on e98 cannot be reversed or shortened once activated. This is an intentional design — a cooling-off period cannot be meaningful if it can be cancelled on impulse. For exclusions of 30 to 90 days, once the full period has elapsed you may request account reinstatement by contacting e98 support. For permanent exclusion, reinstatement requires a formal written request, an identity verification process, and a mandatory 7-day reflection period before any decision is made. Permanent exclusion is exactly that — permanent, absent a formal reinstatement process.

Log in to your e98 account and go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly PKR limits on how much you can deposit. The limit takes effect immediately once confirmed. If you need to lower your limit urgently and cannot access your account, contact our 24/7 live support team directly and they will apply the limit on your behalf after identity verification.

Yes. e98's responsible gaming system monitors for behavioural indicators associated with problematic gambling — such as significantly increased deposit frequency, large loss spikes, or unusual session patterns. Where such indicators are detected, e98 may reach out proactively via in-platform notification or, where relevant contact information is on file, a support message to check in and remind you of the available responsible gaming tools. This is not a punitive process — it is a genuine welfare check.

Absolutely. e98's live chat support team includes Urdu-speaking agents available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you are in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, or anywhere else in Pakistan, you can reach out in Urdu and receive help with setting limits, initiating self-exclusion, or simply talking through any concerns you have about your gambling habits.

No. e98's marketing and promotional activity is governed by its international gaming licence conditions, which prohibit targeting of vulnerable individuals. Players who are on self-exclusion lists are immediately removed from all marketing communications. e98 does not send promotional content to players who have set responsible gaming limits indicating financial stress, and our marketing materials always include responsible gaming messaging and the 21+ age restriction notice.
