Our Story

About 98bat —
Built for Pakistan

98bat is an English-language online betting information and entertainment platform designed specifically for Pakistani users. We cover sports betting markets, cricket analysis, live casino topics and responsible gambling guidance — all in one place, all in plain English.

Brand Story

Who We Are

98bat was created with a straightforward idea: Pakistani sports fans and betting enthusiasts deserve a well-designed, honestly written platform that speaks their language — not just linguistically, but culturally. From the packed stands of a Karachi National Stadium T20 to a PSL final watched by millions in Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar, cricket is woven into everyday life here. We built 98bat to reflect that passion.

The platform brings together sports betting information, live casino content, responsible gambling guidance and educational resources under a single, clean interface. Our content team focuses on clarity — no jargon-heavy paragraphs, no confusing fine print hidden behind vague marketing copy. If something matters to a player, we explain it plainly.

"At 98bat, we believe that access to clear, honest information is the foundation of any good betting experience. Informed players make better decisions — and that is good for everyone."

We understand the local context deeply. When we discuss payment options, we reference familiar rails like Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — not because these providers endorse or support gambling, but because Pakistani users know these channels and appreciate relevant context. Payment provider names on this site are used as contextual references only.

98bat covers cricket betting markets across the full range — PSL franchises, Pakistan national team ICC campaigns, T20 internationals, Test series and more. We also cover football, UFC, esports, live casino games, slots and table games, giving users a broad view of what the online betting landscape looks like from a Pakistani perspective.

Our content is written entirely in English, reflecting the reality that Pakistan's online and professional community largely operates in English for finance, technology and digital platforms. We keep the tone direct, friendly and culturally grounded — you will find references to Pakistan cricket heroes, familiar city names and local sporting events throughout.

Legal Reminder: Pakistan has gambling restrictions including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. 98bat does not claim to be licensed, approved or endorsed by any Pakistani government authority. Content on this site is for informational and entertainment purposes only. Users must independently verify the legal status of online gambling in their jurisdiction before participating.

Mission & Values

What Drives Us

Every decision we make at 98bat comes back to three core commitments: transparency, responsibility and relevance for Pakistani users.

Transparency First

We present information honestly. Bonus terms, wagering requirements, withdrawal conditions and legal disclaimers are written clearly and placed where users can find them. No hidden clauses, no misleading headlines.

Responsible Play

Gambling can carry real risk. 98bat actively promotes responsible gambling by surfacing tools, limits and support resources throughout the platform. We want users to play within their means and stay in control.

Pakistan Relevance

Content, currency references (PKR/Rs), payment context and sports coverage are all tailored for Pakistani users — from PSL cricket to local bank familiarity — without making claims about legal authorization in Pakistan.

Platform Features

What 98bat Offers

From cricket market guides to live casino overviews, here is a closer look at what you will find across the 98bat platform.

Cricket Betting Coverage

In-depth guides covering PSL, ICC tournaments, T20 internationals, Test series and domestic cricket markets. We explain market types, odds formats and in-play betting mechanics in plain English for Pakistani fans.

Mobile-Optimised Experience

The 98bat platform is designed to load quickly and perform smoothly on mobile networks common in Pakistan — including Jazz, Zong and Telenor — so you get a clean experience whether you are in Karachi or Peshawar.

Familiar Payment Context

We reference payment infrastructure familiar to Pakistani users — Easypaisa, JazzCash, Raast, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank and Bank Alfalah — to help users understand how deposits and withdrawals typically work. These references are contextual only and do not imply endorsement.

Live In-Play Sports

Guides and explanations covering live betting markets across cricket, football, UFC and other sports. We help users understand how in-play odds work and what to watch for during a live match session.

Live Casino Information

Coverage of live dealer games — baccarat, roulette, blackjack, andar bahar and live game shows. We explain game mechanics, RTP concepts and what to expect from a live casino environment.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Information on deposit limits, loss limits, time limits, self-exclusion and cooling-off periods. 98bat prioritises responsible play and signposts users to support resources whenever relevant.

Our Commitment

Built With Pakistani Players in Mind

Pakistan's sports betting community is one of the most engaged in South Asia. Cricket is the centrepiece — from the heated rivalries of the PSL season to nail-biting ICC knockout matches that keep fans glued to their screens late into the night. At 98bat, we designed the platform with this reality in mind.

We do not talk down to our users. Pakistani bettors are knowledgeable, passionate and deserve content that matches their level. When we cover a T20 batting market or explain the difference between a match-winner and a top-batter bet, we write for people who already follow the game — not for beginners who need to be told what a wicket is.

At the same time, we take our responsibility seriously. Pakistan has specific gambling laws, including the Prevention of Gambling Act, 1977. We never claim that online gambling is legally permitted or endorsed by Pakistani authorities. We do not fabricate licensing details. We encourage every user to understand their local legal position before engaging in any gambling activity.

Our commitment extends to data privacy too. We handle user information carefully, collect only what is necessary, and we never share personal data with unauthorised third parties. Review our full Privacy Policy for complete details on how we protect your information.

Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to Safe Play

Responsible gambling is not an afterthought at 98bat — it is built into how we approach every piece of content and every feature on the platform.

Adults Only — 18+

Access to gambling content on 98bat is strictly for adults aged 18 and over, or the higher minimum age required by the relevant operator or license jurisdiction. Age alone does not determine lawful access in Pakistan — users must verify local law independently.

Limits & Controls

We guide users on how to set deposit limits, loss limits and session time limits. These tools help players maintain control over their gambling activity and are typically available within operator account settings.

Self-Exclusion Options

Self-exclusion allows users to voluntarily block their own access to a platform for a defined period or indefinitely. 98bat provides information on how to request self-exclusion and what to expect during the exclusion period.

Support Resources

If gambling is affecting you or someone close to you, support is available. Visit our Responsible Gambling page for information on recognised support organisations and practical self-help tools.

Remember: Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. Set a budget before you start, stick to it, and never chase losses. If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, seek help early. Full guidance is available on our Responsible Gambling page.
