Play Responsibly

eq98 | Responsible Gaming –
Play Smart & Stay in Control

Gaming on eq98 should always be something you enjoy — whether that is watching the PSL live while your bet is in play, spinning slots on a quiet evening, or following a T20 match on the live casino feed. The moment it stops feeling like entertainment, it is time to use the tools on this page.

18+ Adults Only. eq98 is strictly for players aged 18 and above. Gaming involves financial risk — never bet more than you can comfortably afford to lose. Set your personal PKR limits before you play and stick to them.

Six Tools to Keep Your Gaming Healthy & Enjoyable

eq98 has built these responsible gaming tools directly into the platform. They are free, always available, and designed to put you — not the game — in charge of your experience.

PKR Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PKR you can deposit into your eq98 account. Once you hit the limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can reduce your limit instantly — increases require a cooling-off period before they take effect, protecting you from impulsive decisions made in the moment.

Session Time Reminders

Configure a time notification that alerts you when your gaming session has reached a duration you set in advance — for example 30, 60, or 90 minutes. This is especially useful during long Cricket match days or extended PSL live betting sessions, where it is easy to lose track of how long you have been playing without noticing.

Reality Check Pop-Ups

Enable periodic on-screen messages that show you key account information mid-session — how long you have been playing, how much you have deposited in the current session, and your net result so far. This small interruption helps you make a clear-headed decision about whether to continue or step away.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount in PKR that you are comfortable losing in a given day, week, or month. Once your net losses reach that ceiling, the platform will prevent further play for the remainder of the period. Loss limits are one of the most practical tools for players who want to enjoy sports betting and slot games without the risk of going beyond a pre-decided budget.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from the platform — 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days — without permanently closing your account. During a cooling-off period your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. This is ideal if you feel you need some space but are not yet looking for a full self-exclusion.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming has become a problem that is affecting your daily life, finances, or relationships, self-exclusion allows you to close access to your eq98 account for a longer period — from three months up to five years, or permanently. Contact our support team directly to activate self-exclusion and our team will process it without delay.


What Does Responsible Gaming Actually Mean?

Responsible gaming is not about avoiding platforms or feeling guilty for placing a bet on Pakistan versus India in a T20 match. It is about keeping gaming in its proper place — as a form of entertainment that fits comfortably within your lifestyle and budget.

The core idea is simple: you decide in advance how much PKR you are comfortable spending on gaming in a given week or month — just as you would budget for entertainment like going to a match or a restaurant — and then you play within that boundary. When the budget is spent, the session is over. Wins are a bonus, not an expectation.

Problems start when the line between entertainment and obligation gets blurry — when you find yourself chasing a loss, borrowing money to deposit, or spending time on the platform that was meant for work, family, or rest. Responsible gaming is about recognising that line before you cross it.

A straightforward rule worth keeping: only ever bet with money you can afford to lose entirely. If losing a deposit would affect your rent, groceries, or family commitments, that deposit should not be made.

eq98 genuinely wants its players to have a good time on the platform over the long term. A player who manages their budget well and enjoys Cricket betting, Live Casino, and Slot Games as entertainment is exactly the kind of player the platform is built for. The responsible gaming tools exist because we believe that informed, self-aware players have the best experiences.

Your PKR Session Budget Planner

1
Decide Your Entertainment Budget

Before you open the platform, decide how much PKR you are setting aside for gaming this week or month — the same way you would for any other leisure activity. Write it down if it helps. This is your total gaming allowance, not a target to hit.

2
Set Your Deposit Limit on eq98

Log in to your account settings and set a deposit limit that matches or is below your decided budget. Once this is set, you physically cannot deposit more than the limit within the chosen time window — even if you change your mind in the heat of a match.

3
Set a Session Time Reminder

Decide how long a single gaming session should reasonably last and set a reminder for that duration. When the alert appears, pause, take a break, and check in with yourself before deciding whether to continue or call it a session.

4
Stop When the Budget is Spent

If your session budget runs out before the time reminder goes off, end the session. Do not deposit again to chase a recovery. The games and Cricket markets will be there tomorrow. Come back fresh in the next budget period.

5
Review Honestly Each Month

At the end of each month, look at your total PKR spending on eq98. If it consistently feels like more than you are comfortable with, adjust your deposit limit downward. There is no minimum amount you need to spend — lower is always fine.


Warning Signs That Gaming May Be Becoming a Problem

Most people who bet on Cricket or play slots do so without any difficulty. But it helps to be honest with yourself about these warning signs, which can show up gradually over time.

You are spending more PKR on gaming than you originally planned, and the budget keeps quietly expanding each week.

After a loss, your first instinct is to deposit again immediately to win back what you lost — commonly called chasing losses.

You find yourself thinking about gaming frequently when you are not playing — at work, during family time, or when trying to sleep.

You have borrowed money from family or friends, or used funds meant for household expenses, to fund gaming deposits.

You feel irritable, restless, or anxious when you are not able to access the platform or place a bet when you want to.

Gaming sessions regularly last much longer than you intended when you first opened the platform.

You have tried to cut back on gaming before but found it difficult to stick to the reduction you planned.

You are hiding your gaming activity, deposits, or losses from people close to you because you expect they would be concerned.

Wins no longer feel satisfying unless they are large, and you keep increasing bet sizes to maintain the same level of excitement.

Recognising one or more of these signs does not mean you have a serious problem — but it does mean it is a good time to pause, use one of the tools above, or speak to someone. Contact eq98 support to activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion at any time.


Self-Exclusion: When You Need More Than a Pause

Self-exclusion is for players who feel that taking a break from gaming is the right decision for their wellbeing, finances, or relationships. It is not a drastic step — it is a sensible, proactive one that many responsible players use at some point.

When you self-exclude on eq98, your account is suspended for the period you choose. You will not be able to log in, deposit PKR, or place any bets. Any pending withdrawals of funds already in your account will be processed normally so you are not disadvantaged financially by the decision.

Self-exclusion periods available range from three months, six months, one year, three years, five years, or permanent exclusion. Permanent exclusion means your account will be closed and you will not be able to reopen it.

To activate self-exclusion, simply contact the eq98 support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Tell us the period you want, and the team will apply it immediately without asking you to justify or explain your decision.

What Self-Exclusion Covers

Once activated, self-exclusion applies across all areas of your eq98 account for the full duration of the chosen period.

  • Account login is disabled for the full exclusion period
  • PKR deposits via JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank transfer are blocked
  • Sports betting — Cricket, PSL, T20, Football, Esports — all suspended
  • Live Casino and Slot Games access removed
  • All promotional and bonus communications are paused
  • Existing account balance is held safely and withdrawable
  • Support team remains available to assist with account queries

After the exclusion period ends, re-opening access requires a deliberate request and a reflection period — it does not happen automatically.


Protecting Minors — 18+ Only on eq98

eq98 is strictly an adult platform. No one under the age of 18 may register an account or participate in any form of gaming or sports betting on the site. This is not a formality — it is a firm boundary that the platform enforces through age verification at registration and identity checks during the withdrawal process.

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend enabling parental controls on that device at the operating system or browser level to prevent access to gaming content. Keep your eq98 login credentials private and do not share your account details with anyone, regardless of their age.

If you believe a minor has accessed an eq98 account — whether your own or otherwise — please contact our support team immediately. Any account found to belong to a user under 18 will be closed and any deposits refunded in full. We take this responsibility seriously and ask all adult players to help enforce it within their own households.

Verify Age at Registration

Age is confirmed during signup and re-verified during withdrawal KYC checks.

Secure Your Device

Use a screen lock and keep your eq98 login credentials strictly private on shared devices.

Report Immediately

Contact support instantly if you suspect a minor has accessed or registered on the platform.


Responsible Gaming FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most often from Pakistani players about responsible gaming tools and policies on eq98.

Log in to your eq98 account and go to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. From there you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly PKR deposit limit. The limit takes effect immediately once you save it. If you later want to reduce the limit, that change also takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off waiting period before it activates, which is intentional to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Yes. Self-exclusion blocks you from logging in to play or deposit, but any PKR balance already in your account remains yours and can be requested for withdrawal. Contact the eq98 support team directly to arrange a withdrawal during an active exclusion period and the team will process it for you without requiring you to log in.

A cooling-off period is a short break — typically 24 hours to 30 days — after which your account automatically becomes accessible again. It is useful when you feel you need a brief pause but plan to return to the platform. Self-exclusion is a longer, more serious commitment of three months or more, up to permanent closure. After a self-exclusion period ends, you need to actively request re-activation rather than it happening automatically. If you are unsure which to choose, contact our support team and we can help you think it through.

No. When a cooling-off period or self-exclusion is active on your account, all promotional emails, bonus notifications, and marketing messages are paused for the duration. This is important because receiving promotional content during a break can undermine the purpose of taking that break. If you continue to receive any marketing messages from eq98 after activating a break, contact the support team immediately and we will resolve it.

The most helpful thing you can do is approach the conversation without judgment and focus on specific things you have noticed — changes in mood, financial stress, or time spent gaming — rather than making general accusations. Encourage them to use the responsible gaming tools available on eq98 and to speak to someone they trust. If they have an eq98 account and you are concerned about their welfare, you can contact our support team to report a concern and the team will handle it sensitively and confidentially.

No. There is no requirement to deposit a minimum PKR amount each month. Your account stays active regardless of how infrequently you play. eq98 does not pressure players to deposit or play a certain amount, and responsible gaming means only depositing when you genuinely want to — not to meet any platform requirement. If you would like to take a break, the cooling-off and self-exclusion tools are always available at no cost.
