We operate under an internationally recognised gaming licence, and our responsible gaming standards meet and exceed the requirements of that licence.

eq98 Responsible Gaming Features


All of the following tools are built directly into your eq98 account and are available to every registered Pakistani player free of charge. You can activate or adjust any of these settings at any time by visiting your account settings or contacting our support team.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your eq98 account to ensure your gaming spend never exceeds what you are comfortable with. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period — a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

Choose how long you want each gaming session to last. Once your chosen time is up, eq98 will display a clear reminder and log you out automatically. This tool is especially useful for players in Karachi, Lahore, and beyond who want to keep their gaming sessions short and disciplined.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that show you exactly how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session. Reality checks pop up at intervals you choose — every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or as frequently as every 15 minutes — keeping you grounded and informed throughout your session.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from eq98 without permanently closing your account. You can set a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your account will be suspended and you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. All cooling-off requests take effect immediately.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is becoming a serious concern, self-exclusion allows you to block access to your eq98 account for a minimum period of six months, up to a permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, eq98 will also suppress all marketing communications to your registered contact details.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss threshold for a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your loss limit is reached, eq98 will automatically prevent further play for the remainder of that period. This is one of our most effective responsible gaming tools and is strongly encouraged for all players managing a fixed gaming budget in PKR.

Recognising Problem Gambling


Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or city. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved from entertainment to a harmful habit. If you recognise several of these in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for support.

Financial Warning Signs
  • Spending more than you can afford on gambling
  • Borrowing money from family or friends to fund gaming
  • Gambling to try to win back money you have already lost ("chasing losses")
  • Neglecting bills, rent, or household expenses to continue gambling
  • Withdrawing from savings or selling personal belongings to gamble
Emotional & Behavioural Signs
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
  • Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming
  • Gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems
  • Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to
  • Gambling taking priority over work, family, or social responsibilities
What to Do Next

If any of the above sounds familiar, please reach out to our support team immediately via live chat on eq98. You can also use our self-exclusion or cooling-off tools right now without needing to speak to anyone. Taking action early makes a real difference.

Strictly 21 and Over — No Exceptions


eq98 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all players. This is a firm policy with no exceptions. During the registration process, every new player must confirm that they are 21 or older, and our KYC verification team checks identity documents — including CNIC and passport — to confirm age before any account is fully activated.

If eq98 suspects or confirms that a player is under the age of 21, the account will be suspended immediately, all deposited funds will be returned, and the case will be handled in accordance with our responsible gaming and compliance procedures.

We strongly encourage all adult players in Pakistan — whether in Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, or anywhere else — to keep their account credentials private and ensure that no underage family member or household resident has access to their eq98 account.

eq98 has set its minimum age at 21 years in line with the responsible gaming standards of our international licence and the regulatory environment applicable to our Pakistani player base. We believe that 21+ provides a stronger safeguard for younger adults who may be particularly vulnerable to developing problem gambling behaviours.

eq98 accepts the following documents for age and identity verification: Pakistani Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), valid Pakistani passport, and other government-issued photo identification. Documents must be valid, clearly legible, and submitted as part of the standard KYC process.

If you have reason to believe that someone under the age of 21 is accessing eq98 — whether through your account or independently — please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We take all such reports extremely seriously and will investigate promptly and confidentially.

Never share your eq98 username, password, or device with anyone under 21. Use a strong, unique password for your eq98 account. Enable device-level parental controls on shared computers or smartphones. Log out of your account whenever you are not actively using it. These simple steps significantly reduce the risk of underage access.

Enjoy eq98 — Always Within Your Limits

21+ only. Gambling can be addictive — please play responsibly and within your means.

Gambling involves risk. eq98 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. If gambling is affecting your life, please use our self-exclusion tools or contact support immediately.
