1. Eligibility & Registration

To register an account on q98 you must be at least 18 years of age. This is a firm requirement with no exceptions. By completing the registration process you confirm under your own responsibility that you meet this age requirement and that you are not accessing the platform from a jurisdiction where doing so would be prohibited.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the q98 platform is lawful in your location. q98 does not make representations about the legal status of online betting or casino gaming in any specific jurisdiction and does not provide legal advice on this matter.

When creating an account you must provide accurate, complete and current information. This includes your full legal name, date of birth, residential address and a valid contact email address or phone number. Providing false information at registration is grounds for immediate account closure and forfeiture of any balance held.

q98 reserves the right to request identity verification documents at any point — including before approving a withdrawal. Acceptable documents include a CNIC, passport or another government-issued photo identification. Failure to complete verification when requested may result in withdrawal delays or account suspension until verification is resolved.

2. Account Rules

One account per person. Each individual may hold only one active account on q98. Opening duplicate accounts — whether under your own name, a family member's name or using different contact details — is a breach of these terms. If duplicate accounts are identified, q98 may merge them, close the secondary account and adjust balances accordingly.

Account security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. Do not share your password with anyone. If you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact q98 support immediately via live chat. q98 will not be held liable for losses resulting from unauthorised access caused by your failure to maintain password security.

Account name. Your account must be registered in your own legal name. Accounts registered in someone else's name, under a pseudonym or using falsified identity documents will be closed. All withdrawals are paid to the verified account holder only — q98 does not make payments to third parties.

q98 does not allow accounts to be transferred, sold or gifted to another person under any circumstances.

3. Deposits & Withdrawals

Currency. All deposits and withdrawals on q98 are processed in Pakistani Rupees (PKR). There are no currency conversion fees charged by q98. Any fees charged by your payment provider are outside q98's control.

Supported payment methods. q98 currently supports the following methods for both deposits and withdrawals: JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer, debit cards and credit cards, and other mobile wallets as listed on the Deposit page. Payment method availability may change from time to time and the most current list is always shown in the cashier section of your account.

Deposit processing. JazzCash and Easypaisa deposits typically clear within two minutes. Bank transfers may take up to one business day depending on your bank. q98 does not charge deposit fees. Minimum and maximum deposit amounts per transaction are displayed at the point of deposit.

Withdrawals. Withdrawal requests are reviewed and processed the same day for most methods, subject to successful verification. Withdrawals can only be made to a payment method registered in your own name that matches the name on your q98 account. q98 reserves the right to request supporting documentation before processing any withdrawal.

Bonus-linked balances. If your account holds an active bonus, withdrawal requests may be subject to the wagering requirements attached to that bonus. You may forfeit an uncompleted bonus to withdraw your cash balance at any time — this option is available in account settings.

q98 reserves the right to delay or withhold a withdrawal pending completion of identity verification, investigation of suspected fraud or breach of these terms.

4. Betting & Gaming Rules

Bet acceptance. All bets are subject to acceptance by q98. A bet is only confirmed once you receive an on-screen confirmation with a bet reference number. In the event of a technical error during bet placement, the bet may be voided and your stake returned.

Cricket and PSL markets. For cricket markets — including Pakistan Super League, T20 internationals and ODI fixtures — bets are settled according to the official result as published by the relevant cricket board. If a match is abandoned or the result is declared by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, settlement follows standard DLS rules unless specific market rules state otherwise. Ball-by-ball and over markets are settled on the delivery or over to which they refer, regardless of the overall match result.

In-play betting. Live betting markets update in near real-time but there may be a brief delay between on-field events and the platform's market update. Bets placed on events that have already concluded due to data latency may be voided at q98's discretion.

Void bets. A bet may be voided in circumstances including: the event is cancelled or postponed beyond 48 hours, an obvious pricing error has occurred, duplicate bets are placed due to a technical fault, or the market rules specify that a particular outcome results in a void. Voided bets have the stake returned to the account balance.

Casino games. All casino titles on q98 operate on certified random number generator (RNG) engines tested and verified by independent third-party laboratories. The theoretical return-to-player (RTP) percentage for each slot title is available in the game's information panel. Live casino games are operated by third-party studio providers and are subject to their own additional game rules, which are displayed at the live table.

Maximum payouts. Individual bet and game session payouts are subject to maximum limits as displayed in the relevant market or game. q98 reserves the right to limit maximum stakes on specific markets, especially where irregular betting patterns are identified.

5. Bonuses & Promotions

All bonuses and promotional offers available on q98 are subject to the specific terms published on the Promotions page at the time the offer is active. The general principles below apply to all bonuses unless the individual promotion's terms state otherwise.

Wagering requirements. Bonus funds are subject to wagering requirements before they can be withdrawn. The wagering requirement multiplier, eligible games and time limit for each offer are stated clearly on the Promotions page. Wagering progress can be tracked in the Bonuses section of your account dashboard.

Game contributions. Not all games contribute equally towards wagering requirements. Slots typically contribute 100%. Live casino, table games and sports betting may contribute at a lower rate or may not contribute at all. The contribution rates for each game category are listed on the promotion's terms page.

Bonus expiry. Unclaimed or incomplete bonuses expire after the period specified in the promotion terms. Expired bonus funds and any winnings generated from them are forfeited automatically. q98 does not reinstate expired bonuses.

Welcome bonus. The welcome offer is available to new players on their first qualifying deposit only. One welcome bonus per household, device and payment method. Attempting to claim the welcome bonus multiple times through separate accounts will be treated as a breach of the one-account rule.

Bonus abuse. q98 monitors betting patterns and game play for signs of bonus abuse, including placing low-risk opposite bets to clear wagering requirements or exploiting promotional offers in unintended ways. If abuse is detected, q98 may void the bonus and any winnings derived from it, and may suspend the account pending investigation.

6. Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited on q98. Engaging in any of them may result in immediate account suspension, permanent closure and forfeiture of balances:

  • Opening more than one account or assisting others to circumvent the one-account rule.
  • Using another person's identity, payment method or financial details without their explicit consent.
  • Colluding with other players on any casino game or sports betting market, including but not limited to chip-dumping in poker-style games.
  • Using automated software, bots, scripts or any artificial intelligence tool to place bets or play casino games without manual human input.
  • Exploiting software bugs, glitches or errors in pricing for financial gain. Any such gain will be reversed and the player notified.
  • Money laundering or using the q98 platform to process funds related to any unlawful activity.
  • Attempting to access another player's account, the platform's administrative systems or any data that does not belong to you.
  • Placing bets on behalf of another person as a business activity without prior written agreement with q98.
  • Engaging in any form of match-fixing or using non-public information to obtain an unfair advantage on sports betting markets.

q98 cooperates with relevant authorities and may report suspected fraud or financial crime where required.

7. Privacy & Data

q98 collects and processes personal data to operate the platform, process payments, verify identity and comply with applicable obligations. The full details of what data is collected, how it is used, how long it is retained and your rights as a data subject are set out in the Privacy Policy.

By registering on q98 you agree to the processing of your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. You may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time through your account settings without affecting your ability to use the platform.

q98 uses industry-standard TLS encryption on all connections between your device and the platform. Your financial and personal data is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Data shared with payment processors — such as JazzCash or Easypaisa — is limited to what is necessary to complete a transaction.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on the q98 platform — including the q98 brand name and logo, website design, text, graphics, game interfaces, software, and all other materials — is the intellectual property of q98 or its licensed content providers. Nothing on the platform grants you any licence to reproduce, distribute, modify or commercially exploit this content.

You may access and use the platform and its content solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment. Any attempt to scrape, reverse-engineer, copy or redistribute platform content without written permission is prohibited and may result in legal action.

9. Limitation of Liability

q98 provides the platform on an "as available" basis. While every effort is made to ensure the platform is accessible and functions correctly at all times, q98 does not guarantee uninterrupted service and is not liable for losses caused by platform downtime, maintenance windows or technical failures outside its reasonable control.

q98 is not responsible for any loss of data, profits or other damages arising from your use of the platform beyond the amount of the specific transaction in dispute. In no event does q98's total liability to you exceed the value of your account balance at the time the claim arose.

Sports and casino outcomes are inherently uncertain. q98 accepts no responsibility for the outcome of any bet or game session. Gambling involves financial risk, and you are responsible for your own decisions regarding how much to wager.

q98 is not liable for any disruption caused by factors outside its control, including internet service provider failures, power outages, device failures on your end, natural events or any other force majeure circumstances.

10. Responsible Gaming

q98 takes its responsibility to players seriously. The platform is designed for adult entertainment, and q98 provides a range of tools to help players maintain control over their gambling activity.

The following responsible gaming tools are available to all registered players from within account settings:

  • Deposit limits — set daily, weekly or monthly caps on how much you can deposit.
  • Loss limits — cap the amount you can lose within a defined period.
  • Session reminders — receive an alert after a set time playing.
  • Cooling-off period — take a break of 24 hours up to 30 days.
  • Self-exclusion — block access to your account for 30, 60 or 90 days, or permanently.

If you feel your gambling is no longer enjoyable or is affecting your finances, relationships or mental wellbeing, we encourage you to use these tools. Self-exclusion requests take effect immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. For full details, visit the Responsible Gaming page.

q98 enforces the 18+ age requirement at registration and may carry out additional age verification checks at any point. Access for underage users is not permitted under any circumstances.

11. Suspension & Account Closure

By q98. q98 may suspend or permanently close an account without prior notice if: a breach of these terms is identified or suspected; fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity is detected; the account holder is found to be under 18; or the account has been inactive for an extended period with a zero balance. Where a balance exists at the time of closure due to a breach, q98 reserves the right to withhold those funds pending investigation.

By the player. You may request closure of your account at any time by contacting q98 support via live chat. Before closing, any pending withdrawal requests will be processed. Bonus balances that have not met wagering requirements will be forfeited upon account closure at the player's request.

Inactive accounts. Accounts with no login activity for 12 consecutive months and a zero balance may be archived. Accounts with a remaining balance will be contacted before any archival action is taken, using the email address registered to the account.

12. Changes to These Terms

q98 may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Changes will be published on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. For significant changes that affect your rights or obligations, q98 will send a notification to the email address registered to your account at least seven days before the changes take effect.

Continuing to use the q98 platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not agree with the updated terms, you should stop using the platform and request account closure before the changes take effect.

The version of the Terms and Conditions in effect at the time of any dispute will govern that dispute. q98 recommends bookmarking this page and reviewing the terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.

If you have any questions about these terms, the q98 support team is available 24/7 via live chat and can clarify any section you are uncertain about.
