At ef98, we believe gaming should always be an enjoyable pastime — never a source of financial strain or personal harm. Our responsible gaming programme is built specifically for Pakistani players, with tools, policies, and human support designed to keep play safe, fair, and within healthy limits.
ef98 enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all registered accounts. This is a non-negotiable requirement. Every new player must pass identity and age verification before any deposit, withdrawal, or wagering activity is permitted. ef98 uses third-party KYC technology to verify national identity cards (CNIC), passports, and other government-issued documents issued in Pakistan. If any account is found to belong to a person under 21, it will be permanently closed and all funds returned.
These six pillars form the foundation of the ef98 responsible gaming programme, available to every player from Karachi to Peshawar.
Every ef98 account requires full KYC verification before any gaming activity is unlocked. We verify CNIC or passport data against third-party identity databases to confirm that every player is 21 or above — no workarounds, no exceptions.
Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) directly from their ef98 account settings. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.
ef98 automatically sends reality check notifications at intervals you set — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. These gentle reminders show your session duration and net result so you can make informed decisions about continuing or taking a break.
Need a short break? ef98's cool-off feature lets you temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days without permanently closing it. During a cool-off, login access is disabled and no marketing communications are sent.
Players who feel they need a longer break can self-exclude from ef98 for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion is processed within 24 hours and is enforced strictly — reinstatement is not available until the period expires.
In addition to deposit limits, ef98 allows players to set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. When this ceiling is reached, further wagering is automatically suspended for the remainder of that period, regardless of available balance.
Pakistan's social and cultural values place significant importance on protecting young people from the harms of gambling. ef98 fully shares this commitment. Our 21+ minimum age is not simply a legal formality — it is a genuine safeguard that ef98 enforces at every stage of the player journey.
During registration, every applicant must submit a valid CNIC or passport for verification. Accounts are not activated until this check is complete and confirmed. Any account found to be in breach of the age requirement — regardless of when the breach is discovered — will be closed permanently, with winnings forfeited where required by regulation.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent underage access. If you believe a minor has accessed ef98, please contact our support team immediately via live chat or email.
ef98 strictly prohibits access by individuals under the age of 21. All accounts are subject to mandatory identity and age verification using government-issued documents. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel their gambling is no longer under control. ef98 makes the self-exclusion process straightforward so that players in distress can act quickly, without barriers or delays.
Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is locked across all ef98 products — cricket betting, live casino games including Dragon Tiger Luck and Teen Patti Joker, slots, and all other features. All promotional communications are immediately suspended. If your exclusion period is 6 months or longer, ef98 will also work with affiliated gaming platforms covered under the same international licence to extend the exclusion where technically possible.
Visit ef98.org and log in using your registered Pakistani mobile number or email address and your password.
Go to your Account Menu, select "Responsible Gaming", then choose "Self-Exclusion" from the list of available tools.
Select from 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or Permanent exclusion. Review the terms carefully before confirming — this action cannot be reversed before the period expires.
For your protection, ef98 asks you to re-verify your identity before finalising self-exclusion. This prevents unauthorised exclusions being placed on your account.
You will receive an SMS to your registered Pakistani mobile number and an email confirming that self-exclusion is active. Your account will be locked within 24 hours of this confirmation.
Problem gambling does not always look dramatic. In many cases across Pakistan, it creeps in gradually — a few extra bets here, a slightly higher deposit there. ef98 wants every player to be aware of the early warning signs so they can act before the situation becomes serious.
If you recognise any of the signs listed here in your own behaviour, or in that of someone you know, please use ef98's built-in tools or reach out to our support team. Help is available and confidential.
Chasing losses — Placing larger and larger bets in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost, rather than accepting losses as part of the game.
Gambling with money reserved for essentials — Using funds that were intended for rent, groceries, school fees, or utility bills to fund gambling activity.
Neglecting family and social obligations — Missing family gatherings, work commitments, or social events because of time spent gambling or thinking about gambling.
Inability to stop despite wanting to — Repeatedly telling yourself "just one more bet" or setting limits that you consistently break and feeling unable to stick to them.
Borrowing money to gamble — Taking loans, asking family members for money, or using credit facilities specifically to fund gambling sessions.
Hiding gambling activity — Being secretive about how much time or money is being spent on gaming, or feeling shame or guilt after a session.
Mood depending on gambling outcomes — Feeling irritable, anxious, or depressed after losing, and only feeling normal or happy after a win.
Every tool listed below is accessible for free from within your ef98 account settings. No fees, no waiting queues, no judgment.
Set hard limits on how much you can deposit within a given period. Limits take effect immediately and can only be increased after a 24-hour waiting period to prevent impulsive decisions during high-emotion sessions.
Cap the maximum amount you can lose per day, week, or month across all ef98 products. Once the threshold is hit, your account is automatically suspended for further wagering until the period resets.
Restrict the maximum size of a single bet or stake across all games, including cricket betting markets, Dragon Tiger Luck, Teen Patti Joker, and slot games, to keep individual bets within a comfortable range.
Set a maximum session duration so that ef98 automatically logs you out after a chosen period of continuous play. Useful for maintaining balance between gaming and daily routines.
Receive on-screen pop-up reminders at set intervals showing how long you have been playing, your net win or loss, and a prompt to decide whether to continue or stop — putting the decision firmly in your hands.
Take a structured break of 24 hours to 30 days with cool-off, or commit to a longer exclusion of 6 months to permanent. Both options immediately suspend account access and halt all promotional communications.
ef98 gives you full control over your gaming experience. Set your limits, take breaks when you need them, and reach out to our support team any time — day or night. Responsible play is what makes the game worth playing.
ef98 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. Gambling involves risk. Terms & Conditions
