zh98 believes that gaming is entertainment — and like all entertainment, it works best within healthy boundaries. This page is our commitment to every Pakistani player: we will always put your wellbeing before any commercial consideration. Read on to understand the tools, policies, and support zh98 makes available to every account holder.
The moment it stops being fun, zh98 wants you to stop.
zh98 enforces a minimum age of 21 years across all services. This is not a checkbox — it is actively enforced through mandatory CNIC/passport verification on every account. Any account found to belong to someone under 21 will be immediately closed and all funds forfeited. No exceptions, no appeals.
Gambling has been a part of human entertainment for centuries. Done within healthy limits, it is an enjoyable way to spend time — watching a PSL match become even more exciting with a small wager, or testing your patience at the zh98 live Baccarat table on a Friday evening. The key word there is "limits."
zh98 knows from experience that a small percentage of players — whether in Karachi, Lahore, or anywhere else — may find that gambling starts to take on a different character over time. Chasing losses, hiding gaming activity from family, or feeling an urge to bet even when money is tight are signs that something needs to change. zh98 takes those signs seriously and has built a complete suite of responsible gaming tools to help.
None of the tools on this page are hidden in obscure settings. Every zh98 account holder can access them directly from their account dashboard at any time, 24 hours a day. The support team is also available around the clock via live chat to assist with any responsible gaming request — including urgent self-exclusion.
Every tool below is built into your zh98 account as a standard feature. They are free to use, take effect immediately, and can be activated by contacting zh98 support or through your account settings.
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, zh98 will not process further deposits until the limit period resets. Reductions take effect immediately; increases are subject to a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Define the maximum time you want to spend on zh98 per session. When your session limit is reached, zh98 will automatically log you out. Set it to 30 minutes, 1 hour, or whatever feels right — and zh98 will hold you to it.
Enable periodic pop-up notifications that appear during your gaming session. Each reality check shows you how long you have been playing and your net win/loss for the session — so you always know exactly where you stand.
Need a short break without going through full self-exclusion? A cool-off period suspends your zh98 account for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 30 days. Your account and funds are preserved; you simply cannot log in or deposit until the cool-off period expires.
Self-exclusion is zh98's most powerful responsible gaming tool. Activating it closes your account for a minimum of six months — up to five years or permanently. During the exclusion period, zh98 will not accept re-registration attempts and will proactively block any new account linked to your identity.
Set a maximum net loss threshold per day, week, or month. When your loss limit is hit, zh98 will stop accepting real-money wagers from your account for the rest of that period — protecting you from exceeding a pre-agreed financial boundary during any single gaming session.
Self-exclusion is a serious and powerful tool. zh98 makes the process straightforward so that when you need it, you can activate it immediately without delays or bureaucracy.
Open the live chat on zh98.net or email [email protected]. State clearly that you want to activate self-exclusion on your account.
Tell the support agent how long you want to self-exclude — minimum 6 months, or up to 5 years, or permanently. Your choice is respected without question.
zh98 will verify your identity to ensure the exclusion is recorded against the correct account and to prevent circumvention via new account creation.
Your account is closed immediately. Any verified remaining real-money balance will be returned to your registered payment method within 5–10 business days.
Limits are most effective when set before you start playing. Here is an overview of the control types available in every zh98 account.
To activate or modify any limit, log in to your zh98 account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings, or contact live chat support. Limit reductions and exclusions take effect immediately. Limit increases require a 24-hour waiting period.
The following are recognised behavioural indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem. If you recognise three or more of these in yourself, please use zh98's responsible gaming tools immediately or speak with a support professional.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned and feeling unable to stop at your intended limit.
Gambling with money set aside for necessities — food, rent, school fees, or household bills.
Chasing losses — continuing to gamble to try to win back money you have already lost.
Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much you gamble or how much you have lost.
Feeling irritable, restless, or anxious when not gambling, or when attempting to cut down.
Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of time spent gambling.
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking loans to fund gambling activity.
Take two minutes to honestly answer these questions. They are adapted from recognised problem gambling screening tools used internationally.
Misinformation about gambling leads to poor decisions. zh98 wants every Pakistani player to understand how games actually work.
zh98 provides multiple channels for responsible gaming support — from internal account controls to guidance on reaching independent counselling services.
Available around the clock, every day of the year. Our support team can activate any responsible gaming tool on your account immediately — deposit limits, cool-off periods, or self-exclusion. Just open the chat and say the word.
For formal responsible gaming requests — including self-exclusion documentation, limit confirmation records, or account closure with balance return — write to the zh98 support team at [email protected]. Written requests are acknowledged within 48 hours with a full response within five business days.
zh98 encourages players who need professional support to seek independent assistance. Organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous International, BeGambleAware, and the Global Gambling Guidance Group (G4) provide confidential support, counselling directories, and self-help materials at no cost. zh98's support team can provide guidance on finding the right resources for your situation.
zh98 takes underage access extremely seriously and implements active measures — not just passive age declarations — to prevent it.
Every zh98 account must complete CNIC or passport verification before real-money play is permitted. Age is confirmed directly from the identity document — not via a checkbox. Documents are cross-checked against KYC verification systems.
zh98's compliance team actively monitors for indicators of underage access, including inconsistent personal details, device sharing patterns, and registration behaviour consistent with underage users. Suspicious accounts are suspended pending additional verification.
If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a minor in your household may have accessed zh98, please contact our support team immediately. We will close the account without delay and provide full assistance with your concern. Email [email protected] marked "Underage Access Report."
If you share your device with family members, including children, always log out of your zh98 account after each session. Do not save your zh98 login credentials in shared browsers. Consider enabling parental controls on shared devices to prevent access to gaming websites.
zh98 is built for players who want great entertainment within healthy limits. If you ever need help setting those limits — or stepping away entirely — our team is here for you, 24 hours a day, every day.
