How par98 Came to Be

par98 was established with a clear and direct goal: to create an online betting platform that genuinely works for Pakistani users — not a product bolted together as an afterthought for the market, but one designed around how Pakistani players actually engage with sports, casino games and digital payments.

Cricket is at the core of Pakistani sports culture, and that reality shaped par98's product priorities from day one. The betting interface puts PSL seasons, ICC T20 World Cups, bilateral series and domestic competitions front and centre. Fans in Karachi following a night match, users in Lahore tracking live scores, players in Islamabad placing in-play bets on the next wicket — par98's cricket section was built to serve all of them without friction.

Beyond cricket, par98 expanded its catalogue to cover international football, UFC and combat sports, esports tournaments, and a full suite of live casino games with real dealers streaming around the clock. Slot enthusiasts will find a varied library of video slots with different themes, volatility profiles and RTP ranges clearly disclosed. The platform has continued to grow while keeping the core experience consistent: fast, transparent and mobile-ready.

Payments in Pakistan are a unique conversation. The digital payments landscape here is vibrant — from instant mobile wallets familiar to users in Rawalpindi and Faisalabad, to major commercial banking transfers popular with players in Multan and Peshawar. par98 acknowledges this context and encourages users to check the live cashier for currently available payment options, as availability depends on the operator's banking arrangements and provider rules, not our editorial position.

Transparency Over Everything

par98 does not make promises it cannot keep. Bonus terms are published clearly. Withdrawal rules are not hidden in footnote-sized text. Responsible gambling tools are not buried five menus deep — they are accessible and functional from the moment an account is created.

We acknowledge that Pakistan's regulatory environment around online gambling is complex. The Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 imposes restrictions, and par98 does not claim to be licensed or approved by any Pakistani government authority, provincial body, the PTA, or the State Bank of Pakistan. Users must independently understand and comply with the laws applicable in their jurisdiction.

What We Stand For

par98 is guided by a set of operating values that shape every product decision — from how we present odds to how we handle a player complaint at 3 AM from Peshawar.

Privacy Commitment: par98 handles user data strictly in accordance with our published Privacy Policy. We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties. KYC information is used solely for identity verification and regulatory compliance.

Player-First Product Design

Every feature — from live betting markets to account security settings — is evaluated against one question: does this make the experience better for Pakistani players? If it doesn't, it doesn't ship.

Transparent Information

We publish terms clearly, disclose RTP ranges honestly, and do not obscure withdrawal conditions. Players deserve to make informed decisions before they wager a single rupee.

Responsible Gambling as a Priority

Self-exclusion, deposit limits and session reminders are not checkbox features — they are core to how par98 operates. We actively encourage players to use them. See our Responsible Gambling page for full details.

Security Without Compromise

SSL encryption, KYC verification and two-factor authentication protect every account. We take data security seriously because our users' trust depends on it.

Consistent Support Quality

24/7 live chat in English, Urdu language assistance on request, and a detailed Help Centre ensure that no player — whether in Karachi or Peshawar — gets left without answers.

Honest Legal Positioning

We do not pretend Pakistan's regulatory environment is straightforward. We do not claim government-issued local licences we do not hold. Users must understand applicable laws in their own jurisdiction.


Six Reasons par98 Works for Pakistan

These are not marketing bullet points — they reflect the actual product decisions we have made and stand behind.

Mobile-Optimised for Pakistan Networks

par98's front end is built mobile-first and tested on the kind of network conditions common on Zong, Jazz, Telenor and Ufone connections across Lahore, Faisalabad and smaller cities. The interface stays responsive even when bandwidth is limited — particularly important during high-traffic PSL match days.

Deep Cricket Betting Markets

Cricket is not an afterthought at par98 — it is the centrepiece. The cricket section covers PSL, ICC T20 tournaments, bilateral series involving the Pakistan national team, and domestic competitions. Market depth goes beyond match winner to include run totals, wicket counts, player props and live in-play markets that update ball by ball.

Strict Security & KYC Compliance

Account protection at par98 uses SSL encryption across all connections, optional two-factor authentication, and a rigorous KYC process using CNIC or passport documentation. These aren't just security features — they protect you from unauthorised account access and ensure withdrawals go to the right person.

English Platform with Urdu Support

The entire par98 platform is in professional English — accessible, clear and suited for Pakistan's large English-reading population. For players who prefer Urdu communication, live chat support agents offer Urdu language assistance on request, so language is never a barrier to getting help.

PKR Account Management

Account balances, deposit amounts and withdrawal figures are displayed in Pakistani Rupees. No confusing currency conversion, no hidden spread on exchange rates. What you deposit in PKR is what you see in your account — straightforward and familiar for players from Rawalpindi to Multan.

Responsible Gambling Tools Built In

Deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion are all available directly from account settings. par98 treats responsible gambling as a feature of the product rather than a page in the terms document. Players are encouraged to read the full Responsible Gambling page and use the tools available to them.


Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling

par98 recognises that gambling, while entertaining for most players, can become harmful for some. Our commitment to responsible play is not limited to a disclaimer in the footer — it shapes how we build and operate the platform.

Adults only: par98 is strictly a platform for adults aged 18 or above, or the higher minimum required by the operator's licensing jurisdiction. We do not present age verification alone as proof that gambling is lawful in Pakistan — users must satisfy themselves regarding local law.

Self-exclusion: Players who feel they need a break can request self-exclusion through customer support. During the exclusion period, the account is restricted from placing bets or deposits.

Limits: Deposit limits, loss limits and session time controls are available to all registered users. We encourage every player — not just those experiencing difficulties — to set sensible limits before they play.

Gambling should be entertainment: Never wager more than you can afford to lose. Gambling is not a reliable source of income. If gambling is causing financial stress or affecting relationships, please reach out to support or seek assistance from recognised problem-gambling helplines in your region.

Self-Exclusion

Request full or partial self-exclusion via live chat at any time. Exclusion periods are enforced at the account level.

Deposit & Loss Limits

Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit and loss ceilings directly from your account settings. Limits take effect immediately.

Session Time Reminders

Set session duration reminders so you are notified when you have been playing for a set period of time. Helps keep sessions intentional.

Support Resources

If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, please reach out to recognised problem-gambling support resources available in your region. Our support team can direct you appropriately.


Payments, PKR & What to Know

Pakistan has a dynamic digital payments ecosystem that continues to grow rapidly. Mobile wallets and instant bank transfer services have become part of everyday financial life for millions of Pakistanis — from students in Islamabad to professionals in Karachi. par98 acknowledges this context and understands that payment accessibility matters enormously to Pakistani players.

We reference familiar Pakistani payment services — including Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — purely as well-known options in the local payments landscape. We do not claim that any of these services endorse, support or permit gambling transactions. Payment availability on the platform is determined by the operator's live cashier and should always be verified directly before depositing.

Reminder: Always check fee structures, processing times, minimum and maximum limits, and any applicable KYC requirements before initiating a transaction. Actual methods available depend on the operator's banking arrangements at that time.

Things to Verify Before Transacting

Live Cashier

Available payment methods are listed in the operator's live cashier. This list can change; always check before depositing.

Fees & Limits

Transaction fees, minimum deposit floors (often PKR 500–1,000) and withdrawal ceilings vary by method. Confirm beforehand.

KYC Status

Complete identity verification (CNIC or passport) before your first withdrawal. Starting KYC early avoids delays later.

Local Law

Pakistan's Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977 restricts gambling activity. Users are responsible for understanding the laws applicable to them.
