Tools par98 Puts in Your Hands

Every registered par98 player has access to a full suite of responsible gaming controls directly from their account dashboard — no forms, no waiting, no friction.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly PKR deposit cap on your par98 account. Reductions take effect immediately. Increases go through a 7-day cooling period to protect you from impulsive decisions in the heat of the moment.

Session Time Alerts

Configure automatic reminders that notify you when you have been logged into par98 for a set duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or whatever works for you. A gentle nudge to take a break goes a long way.

Cooling-Off Periods

Need a short break? Request a temporary account restriction of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. It kicks in within minutes of your request.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gaming has become a problem, par98 offers both time-limited and permanent self-exclusion. Once activated, your account is closed to all gaming activity and par98 will suppress all marketing communications sent to you.

Reality Checks

Enable on-screen pop-ups that display a real-time summary of your current session — how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered, and your net result — so you always have a clear picture of your activity.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum PKR loss threshold per day, week, or month. When your losses reach the limit you have defined, par98 automatically suspends further betting activity until the period resets — keeping your bankroll within boundaries you control.

Is Your Gaming Still Under Control?

Problem gambling can creep up gradually. Most people do not realise there is an issue until it has already affected their finances, relationships, or daily routine. At par98, we want every Pakistani player to be honest with themselves. Here are some early warning signals worth paying attention to.

If several of the signs below feel familiar, we strongly encourage you to use par98's self-exclusion tool or reach out to our 24/7 support team at [email protected]. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

You spend more time or money on par98 than you originally planned, and find it difficult to stop even when you intend to.

You chase losses — placing bigger bets after a losing streak in an attempt to recover what you have lost.

Gaming is affecting your work, studies, or relationships. Family members or friends in Islamabad, Lahore, or elsewhere have expressed concern.

You borrow money, use bill payments, or dip into savings specifically to fund gaming activity.

You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play, or feel a compulsive urge to check odds and results.

You conceal the extent of your gaming activity from people close to you, or feel guilt or shame after a session.

How to Exclude Yourself From par98

Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools available to players who feel their gambling has become harmful. par98 makes the process straightforward and immediate. Follow these steps to activate your self-exclusion at any time.

1
Log In to Your par98 Account

Visit par98.net and sign in using your registered credentials. Self-exclusion must be initiated from within your own account for security and verification purposes.

2
Navigate to Responsible Gaming Settings

Go to your Account Dashboard and locate the Responsible Gaming section. This is where all player protection tools — including deposit limits, session alerts, and self-exclusion — are managed.

3
Select Your Exclusion Period

Choose a time-limited exclusion (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years) or opt for permanent exclusion. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed — it is final and is recommended if you feel you need a lasting break.

4
Confirm and Activate

Confirm your choice. Your account will be restricted immediately. par98 will remove you from all marketing lists and you will be unable to create a new account during your exclusion period.

5
Contact Support If You Need Help

If you have difficulty completing the process or need assistance, contact our support team at [email protected] and we will activate the exclusion manually on your behalf — no questions asked.

Set Limits Before You Start Playing

The most effective approach to responsible gaming is setting your limits before you start a session — not after. par98 supports the following account-level restrictions:

Daily Deposit Limit

Cap the maximum PKR amount you can deposit into your par98 account within a 24-hour rolling window.

Weekly Deposit Limit

Set a PKR ceiling for total deposits across a 7-day period — ideal for players who prefer weekly budgeting.

Monthly Deposit Limit

Control your monthly spend at a macro level. par98 will block additional deposits once the monthly cap is reached.

Wagering Limit

Restrict the total PKR amount you can wager per session, day, or week, independent of your deposit balance.

Session Duration Limit

Automatically log out after a set number of minutes or hours, regardless of the game you are in at the time.

Important: Limit reductions on par98 take effect immediately. Limit increases are subject to a mandatory 7-day waiting period. This intentional delay is designed to protect you from making impulsive decisions during a losing session.

A Quick Check-In With Yourself

Honest answers take less than two minutes. If you find yourself answering "Yes" to three or more of the questions below, consider using par98's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools, or speaking to someone you trust.

Do you sometimes feel that you need to gamble with increasing amounts of PKR to get the same level of excitement?

Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming?

Have you ever missed work, studies, or important family events in Karachi, Lahore, or elsewhere because of gaming?

After losing money, do you feel a strong urge to return as soon as possible to win it back?

Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gaming activity?

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop playing?

This quiz is for self-reflection purposes only and does not constitute a clinical assessment. If you are concerned about your gaming, contact par98 support or seek professional guidance.
