Our Story

About 98kr — Pakistan's Online Casino & Sports Betting Platform

98kr was built from the ground up for Pakistani players. Not adapted, not translated — genuinely designed around how people in Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, and across Pakistan want to play, pay, and be supported. This is who we are and why we built 98kr the way we did.

"We set out to build the platform we'd want to use ourselves — one that treats Pakistani players as the primary audience, not an afterthought."

The 98kr Story

98kr started with a straightforward observation: there was no online casino or sports betting platform that genuinely served Pakistani players. The options available were either built for other markets and poorly localised, or they simply didn't support the payment methods, currency, or sports that matter most in Pakistan.

So 98kr was built differently. The platform was designed from day one with PKR as the native currency — no conversion fees, no confusing exchange rates. JazzCash and EasyPaisa were integrated as first-class deposit and withdrawal options, not as an afterthought. The sports betting section launched with PSL cricket odds at its core, because that's what matters to players in Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, and Islamabad.

The name 98kr reflects a simple philosophy: deliver close to perfection. Not perfect — gaming is never perfect — but relentlessly close. Every feature at 98kr, from the speed of a JazzCash withdrawal to the quality of a live baccarat stream, is measured against the question: is this the best experience a Pakistani player can have?

What Makes 98kr Different

Six reasons Pakistani players choose 98kr over every other online casino

Native PKR Currency

Your 98kr balance is held and displayed in Pakistani Rupees at all times. There are no USD amounts to mentally convert, no hidden exchange rate fees, and no confusion about how much you actually have. Deposit Rs 500, see Rs 500 in your account — exactly as it should be.

JazzCash & EasyPaisa First

98kr integrated JazzCash and EasyPaisa as genuine first-class payment options — not bolted on later. Deposits credit in seconds. Withdrawals process in under 30 minutes to your mobile wallet once your 98kr account KYC is complete. No intermediary wallets, no delays.

PSL Cricket Betting at the Core

PSL is not a secondary offering at 98kr — it's central. Every PSL season, 98kr provides pre-match and in-play odds on all fixtures, with markets covering match winner, top batsman, total sixes, and more. International T20s, Test cricket, and domestic tournaments are covered alongside PSL.

24/7 Pakistani-Context Support

The 98kr live chat support team operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The team understands Pakistani banking systems, Pakistani mobile networks, and the kind of issues that come up for players in Karachi, Lahore, and across the country. English-language support, genuinely helpful.

International Licensing & Auditing

98kr operates under an international gaming licence and is independently audited for fairness. Random number generators across all slot and table games are tested by third-party auditors. You can play at 98kr knowing the games are not rigged — that's not a marketing claim, it's a contractual and regulatory requirement.

500+ Games from Top Providers

The 98kr game library includes slots, live dealer casino tables, crash games, fishing games, and sports betting — all from internationally recognised providers. Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Play'n GO titles sit alongside 98kr's own exclusive fishing game titles. Something for every type of player.

The Values 98kr Operates By

98kr is a commercial platform — we are not going to pretend otherwise. But how we operate commercially is shaped by a set of values that we hold ourselves to every day. These are not aspirational slogans on a wall. They are operational principles that shape product decisions, support protocols, and how 98kr handles the difficult situations that come with running a real-money gaming platform.

International Standards, Pakistani Heart

98kr is licensed and audited to international standards — the same rigorous frameworks applied to reputable gaming operators globally. But the platform is built around the lived reality of Pakistani players: how they bank, what sports they follow, which devices they use, and how they communicate. That combination is what makes 98kr unique in the Pakistani market.

Player Trust Above Short-Term Gain

Every policy at 98kr — from transparent bonus terms to immediate self-exclusion tools — is designed to build long-term trust with Pakistani players, not to maximise short-term extraction. A player who trusts 98kr will return voluntarily. A player who feels misled will not, and should not.

Responsible Gaming is Non-Negotiable

98kr enforces a strict 21+ age policy. KYC verification is mandatory before any withdrawal. Deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, and self-exclusion tools are built into every 98kr account — not hidden in a menu nobody finds. Problem gambling is a real issue and 98kr takes it seriously as both an ethical obligation and a licensing requirement.

Fairness in Every Game

98kr does not operate house games that are rigged to pay out less than their stated RTP. Independent auditors verify RNG integrity across the game catalogue. Published RTP figures are accurate. If a game is labelled 96.5% RTP, that figure is real — tested, verified, and reported to 98kr's licensing authority.

Speed and Reliability Over Everything

Pakistani players should not have to wait hours for withdrawals, chase support agents over simple issues, or deal with games that crash on mobile data. 98kr invests heavily in payment processing infrastructure, server reliability, and mobile optimisation — because downtime and delays are not acceptable in a market that relies on mobile connections.

Continuous Improvement

The 98kr platform today is better than it was at launch, and the version a year from now will be better than today. Player feedback from Pakistani users — on game selection, payment options, support quality, and mobile performance — directly shapes the 98kr development roadmap.

Who 98kr Is Built For

98kr is not a one-size-fits-all platform — it's specifically designed for the Pakistani gaming audience

Mobile-First Players

The majority of Pakistani internet users access everything through their phones. 98kr loads fast on Jazz, Zong, Ufone, and Telenor data — no app required, no heavy downloads.

Cricket Betting Fans

From PSL fever in Karachi to international T20s watched in Lahore dhabas, 98kr's cricket sportsbook is built for the Pakistani cricket fan who wants to back their team with real stakes.

Casual Slot Players

With 500+ slots available from Rs 10 per spin, 98kr is accessible for casual entertainment. Players in Faisalabad, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi enjoy a quick session without high minimum stakes.

High-Stakes VIP Players

98kr's VIP programme caters to serious players who wager significant PKR monthly — with higher cashback rates, dedicated account managers, and custom withdrawal limits for elite-tier members.

Payments & Licensing at 98kr

Two things that any Pakistani player rightly cares about more than anything else at an online casino: can I get my money in and out easily, and is this platform legitimate? Here is 98kr's honest answer to both questions.

Pakistani Payment Methods

98kr supports all major Pakistani payment channels natively. These are not workarounds — they are direct integrations that process in real time:

JazzCash — mobile wallet deposits and withdrawals
EasyPaisa — mobile wallet deposits and withdrawals
Raast — instant bank-to-bank transfers via State Bank of Pakistan's Raast system
1LINK — all connected Pakistani bank accounts
HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank — direct bank transfers
GrabPay — alternative digital payment channel

Licensing & Compliance

98kr operates under an international online gaming licence and is subject to regular independent audits of its RNG software, game payouts, and financial controls. Player funds are held in segregated accounts separate from 98kr's operating capital. This means your PKR balance is protected regardless of 98kr's operational position. KYC (Know Your Customer) verification using Pakistani CNIC is mandatory before any withdrawal — a regulatory requirement that protects both players and the platform from fraud.

Our Responsible Gaming Commitment

98kr takes responsible gaming as seriously as any part of its operations. This section summarises the tools and policies 98kr has in place — a more detailed overview is available on the Responsible Gaming page.

Responsible Gaming at 98kr

21+ age policy — strictly enforced via CNIC verification before first withdrawal. Underage accounts are closed immediately with funds forfeited.
Deposit & loss limits — set daily, weekly, or monthly caps from your 98kr account dashboard before your first session.
Session time reminders — receive pop-up alerts after set periods of continuous play to maintain awareness of time spent.
Self-exclusion — lock your 98kr account for a minimum of 6 months at any time, with no option to reverse the exclusion early. Designed to provide a genuine cooling-off period.
No credit or loans — 98kr will never extend credit to players. If your balance reaches zero, play stops. This is a deliberate design choice.
