98ab was built from the ground up to serve Pakistani players who wanted a serious, secure, and locally-aware platform — not a generic international site translated into Urdu with a JazzCash logo pasted on the cashier page.
98ab started with a straightforward observation: Pakistani players were underserved. The options available were either clunky international sites with no real understanding of the local market, or unregulated platforms that offered no meaningful player protection whatsoever. Neither was acceptable. The team behind 98ab set out to build something different — a platform that treats Pakistani players as a primary audience rather than an afterthought.
Cricket is not just a sport in Pakistan — it is a shared cultural language. A PSL match between Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars fills stadiums, dominates WhatsApp groups, and stops conversations in offices from Islamabad to Faisalabad. 98ab was designed around this reality. Our cricket betting section is the most developed part of the platform by design, covering PSL, international Tests and T20Is, the ICC World Cup, Asia Cup, and bilateral series involving Pakistan — with dozens of markets per fixture, live in-play betting, and ball-by-ball odds updates.
Beyond cricket, 98ab has grown into a full-spectrum online casino and sports betting destination. The 98ab Casino section runs live dealer tables from Evolution Gaming and Ezugi around the clock — including games like Andar Bahar and Teen Patti that have genuine cultural relevance to South Asian players. The slots library spans 800+ titles from certified international providers. And the in-house games like Mines and Nine have built their own loyal player communities within the 98ab platform.
Our commitment: Every product decision at 98ab is evaluated against a single question — does this make the experience better for Pakistani players? If the answer is not clearly yes, it does not ship.
The payments infrastructure at 98ab reflects this commitment to local relevance more than almost anything else. We support JazzCash, EasyPaisa, HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank — because those are the tools Pakistani players actually use. Deposits are instant; withdrawals to JazzCash and EasyPaisa are processed in under 30 minutes for verified accounts. Your balance is denominated in PKR throughout, with no currency conversions or hidden exchange rate markups eating into your funds.
98ab operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence, providing the regulatory framework for fair play, player fund protection, and responsible gaming enforcement. We are not a back-alley operation. Our games are provided by certified software suppliers whose RNG systems are independently audited. Our terms are written to be understood, not to trap players in fine print.
Six things that set 98ab apart from the alternatives available to Pakistani players — and why they matter in practice, not just on paper.
PSL markets open days before the toss. International fixtures covered with 80+ betting options per match. Live in-play odds updated ball-by-ball. 98ab's cricket section is the reason most Pakistani players came to the platform in the first place — and why they stay.
No currency conversions. No third-party processors taking a cut. Your 98ab account balance lives in Pakistani Rupees from deposit to withdrawal. JazzCash and EasyPaisa deposits are instant; withdrawals arrive in under 30 minutes. HBL, UBL, and Meezan Bank also fully supported.
60+ live dealer tables with real croupiers running 24 hours a day — including Andar Bahar and Teen Patti. 800+ slot titles from certified providers. In-house games Mines and Nine rounding out a complete gaming catalogue that covers every preference a Pakistani player might have.
98ab operates under an internationally recognised gaming licence. Our RNG systems are certified by independent testing laboratories. Player funds are held separately from operational funds.

The 21+ age requirement is enforced through identity verification. 98ab takes player welfare seriously because it is the right thing to do, not just a compliance checkbox.
The principles that guide every product decision, customer interaction, and business practice at 98ab — written plainly, not dressed up in corporate language.

256-bit SSL encryption on every connection. Rate-limited login attempts with automatic lockout on suspicious activity. SMS alerts for unrecognised device logins. Your 98ab account and the PKR balance inside it are protected by multiple layers of security infrastructure working simultaneously.
Pakistan is not a secondary market for 98ab — it is the primary one. Every feature prioritisation, payment method selection, game catalogue curation, and support language decision is made with Pakistani players specifically in mind. This platform exists for you.
Gambling is entertainment. When it stops being enjoyable and starts affecting daily life, work, or relationships, it has crossed a line. 98ab provides genuine tools — not just a page of links — to help players manage their activity. The 21+ age restriction is non-negotiable and strictly enforced.
From Karachi's coastal evening sessions to Lahore's late-night PSL marathons — 98ab is active across every major city and region in Pakistan.

98ab takes its responsibility to players seriously — not as a regulatory formality but as a genuine operating principle. Gambling should be an entertaining activity that fits comfortably within a player's lifestyle. The moment it creates financial strain, emotional distress, or conflict in daily life, it has moved beyond entertainment into something that needs to be addressed.
The 98ab platform provides practical tools inside every player's account settings to support responsible gaming. These include deposit limits — daily, weekly, and monthly — that prevent spending beyond what a player has pre-committed to. Session time reminders are available for players who want a prompt after a defined period of play. Cooling-off periods allow players to pause their account for a defined window without permanently closing it. Full self-exclusion is available for players who need to step away from the platform entirely for an extended period.
The 21+ age restriction on the 98ab platform is enforced through identity verification during registration. A valid CNIC or passport is required to complete KYC and access the full cashier functionality. This is a hard requirement, not a tickbox — underage access to the platform is something 98ab actively works to prevent, not just disclaim liability for.
