Our Philosophy

Responsible Gaming Is Not an Afterthought at pk98

Let us be straightforward about this. The majority of people who play on pk98 do so in a completely healthy way — they enjoy cricket betting, Teen Patti with friends, a few rounds of slots, or the thrill of a live casino table, and then they log off and get on with their day. For those people, pk98 is exactly what it is meant to be: entertainment.

But a small number of people who gamble — on any platform, anywhere in the world — develop habits that stop being fun and start causing real problems. Lost money they needed for rent or groceries. Hours spent at the screen that should have gone to family or work. Hiding transactions from a spouse or parent. Borrowing money to fund another session. These are signs of a problem, and they are the exact situations pk98's responsible gaming programme is designed to help prevent or address.

Responsible gaming at pk98 means two things. First, we give every member practical tools that make it easy to set limits and stay in control. Second, we actively monitor for patterns that suggest a member may be in difficulty, and we reach out proactively when we see them. We would rather lose a customer's business temporarily than watch them make decisions that hurt their family.

Our commitment: pk98 will never contact you with marketing materials during an active self-exclusion period. We will never reduce your deposit limits without your confirmation. And we will never make it harder to access responsible gaming tools than it is to make a deposit.

Safety Tools

Responsible Gaming Tools Built Into pk98

All of these tools are available from your pk98 account settings right now. None of them require you to contact support — though support is always available if you need guidance.

Instant
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your pk98 wallet per day, per week, or per month. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and cannot be increased without a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period. This single tool is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling within a budget you can actually afford.

Instant
Session Time Limits

Set a time limit for each pk98 gaming session. When your limit is reached, pk98 will show a notification reminding you that your session time is up. You can choose to continue after acknowledging the message, but the reminder itself is often enough to prompt a healthy break. Available in increments from 30 minutes to 8 hours.

Instant
Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up notifications during your sessions that show you how long you have been playing and your net win/loss for the session so far. Many members are genuinely surprised by how much time passes during a long gaming session — reality checks put the numbers in front of you so you can make an informed decision about whether to keep playing.

Cooling-Off
Take a Break

If you feel you need a short break from pk98 without committing to a full self-exclusion, the "Take a Break" tool lets you suspend your account for a period of your choosing — 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During this period you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The break cannot be cancelled once started.

Long-Term
Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling has become a problem, self-exclusion is the right tool. You can exclude yourself from pk98 for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion your account is locked, all marketing communications stop, and you cannot create a new pk98 account under any name. Permanent exclusion cannot be reversed.

Monitoring
Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss limit for a day, week, or month. Once your net losses reach the threshold you set, pk98 will automatically prevent further betting until the limit period resets. This tool is particularly useful if you tend to chase losses — a common pattern in problem gambling that can quickly turn a manageable session into a serious financial hit.

To access any of these tools, log in to your pk98 account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. All tools are free and take effect immediately.

Warning Signs

When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Problem gambling does not happen overnight. It usually builds gradually — a few extra bets here, a session that goes longer than planned there — until it becomes something much harder to control. These are the signs that gambling may have crossed a line from entertainment into something that needs attention.

Be honest with yourself when going through this list. There is no judgement here — only the recognition that catching these patterns early makes them far easier to address.

Important: Recognising one or more of these warning signs in yourself does not mean you have a serious gambling problem — but it does mean it is worth taking a step back and using the pk98 responsible gaming tools before things escalate further.

01
Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble or increasing bet sizes specifically to win back money you have already lost. This is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling. The mathematics of casino games and sports betting mean that chasing losses consistently leads to larger losses.

02
Gambling with Money You Cannot Afford to Lose

Using money set aside for rent, household expenses, school fees, or other essential needs to fund gambling activity on pk98 or any other platform. Responsible gambling means only ever playing with disposable money that you would not genuinely miss.

03
Hiding Your Gambling Activity

Concealing deposits, withdrawals, or the amount of time spent gambling from family members, particularly a spouse or parent. Secrecy about gambling is a strong indicator that you already know — on some level — that the activity has gone beyond what is healthy.

04
Borrowing Money to Gamble

Taking loans, borrowing from family or friends, or using credit specifically to fund gambling activity. If you need to borrow to keep playing, gambling has moved from entertainment into something that is causing financial harm.

05
Inability to Stop or Reduce Play

Attempting to cut back on gambling and repeatedly failing to do so. Feeling anxious, restless, or irritable when not gambling. Thinking about gambling even when doing other things. These are behavioural signs that gambling has taken on an addictive quality.

06
Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, being absent or distracted for family commitments, or letting other important areas of life slip because time and mental energy are going to gambling. The impact on relationships and responsibilities is one of the clearest signs that a problem has developed.

Self-Check

Quick Self-Assessment — How Is Your Play?

Answer honestly. This quiz is private — nothing is submitted to pk98. It is simply a prompt to reflect on your own habits.

1. In the past month, have you gambled with money needed for essential expenses?

2. Have you tried to win back money you lost in a previous session?

3. Do you hide the amount you gamble, or your wins and losses, from anyone close to you?

4. Have you felt the need to gamble with larger and larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?

5. Has gambling caused arguments or tension with family members or affected your work or studies?

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming Questions Answered

Short-term cooling-off periods (24 hours to 1 month) cannot be cancelled once started — this is intentional. For longer self-exclusion periods (6 months, 1 year, 3 years), you may request a review after the minimum period has fully elapsed, but pk98 encourages members to wait at least the full exclusion period before returning. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances.

Your pk98 wallet balance is protected throughout a self-exclusion period. You cannot deposit or place bets, but your existing balance remains in your account. Once your exclusion period is over — or if you are on a temporary break and it ends naturally — your balance will be available for withdrawal. You can request a withdrawal of your balance at any time by contacting pk98 support, even during exclusion.

No. All marketing communications from pk98 — including bonus offers, promotional emails, and SMS — are suspended the moment a self-exclusion or take-a-break period is activated. This happens automatically and does not require a separate opt-out request. If you receive a marketing message during an active exclusion period, please report it to privacy@pk98.biz immediately so we can investigate.

Yes — that is exactly how it works. Reducing a deposit limit on pk98 takes effect immediately. If you set your daily limit from Rs 10,000 to Rs 2,000, that lower limit is active right away. If you later decide to increase it back to Rs 10,000, that increase does not take effect for 24 hours after you submit the change. This cooling-off period is a deliberate responsible gaming measure to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment from undermining limits you set when thinking clearly.

If you are concerned about a family member's gambling, the most important first step is to have an open, non-confrontational conversation with them about what you have observed. Focus on specific behaviours rather than making general accusations. If they are open to getting help, they can use the pk98 self-exclusion tool or contact our support team. If the situation involves financial harm to the family, consider seeking advice from a counsellor or financial advisor. pk98 support can also speak to concerned family members confidentially — contact us at support@pk98.biz.

Yes. pk98 analyses member activity for behavioural patterns that are associated with problem gambling — including unusually long sessions, rapid increases in bet size, patterns of chasing losses, and abnormal deposit frequency. When these patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team may reach out to the affected member to check in and offer support. This is not punitive — it is a proactive welfare measure. We would rather have an awkward conversation with a member who is absolutely fine than stay silent when someone is in difficulty.
