y998 was founded with a single conviction: Pakistani players deserved a genuinely world-class online gaming experience that actually understood their needs — deposits in PKR, familiar payment methods like JazzCash and EasyPaisa, and a product built around sports they love, starting with cricket. That conviction has not changed. Everything we build at y998, we build for you.
y998 started in 2021 as a response to a clear gap in the market. Pakistani players who enjoyed online gaming were largely being served by generic global platforms that treated Pakistan as an afterthought — USD-denominated accounts, payment methods that required workarounds, customer support that had never heard of PSL, and odds markets that barely covered Pakistan vs India Tests let alone the domestic T20 circuit.
The founding team behind y998 came from backgrounds in technology, gaming, and finance. Several team members were themselves Pakistan-based players who knew exactly what was missing. The goal was never to copy what already existed internationally — it was to build something that Pakistani users would recognise as genuinely built for them. PKR-first. JazzCash and EasyPaisa as primary payment methods, not an afterthought. A cricket sportsbook that covered PSL ball-by-ball from day one. A live casino with stake levels starting at Rs 50, not whatever the USD minimum converted to after FX fees.
That focus paid off. Within two years of launch, y998 had grown into one of the most recognised online gaming platforms among Pakistani users from Karachi to Islamabad, Lahore to Faisalabad. Not through mass advertising, but through a product that simply worked better for Pakistani players than what they had before.
Six core reasons Pakistani players choose y998 and keep coming back — not marketing claims, but product realities that members experience every session.
Every single transaction on y998 operates in Pakistani Rupees. Deposit Rs 5,000, bet Rs 5,000 in the casino, withdraw Rs 5,000 to JazzCash. No USD conversion. No hidden FX spread. No unexplained deductions. y998 was the first major platform to commit to genuine PKR operations for Pakistani players.
JazzCash and EasyPaisa are not an afterthought at y998 — they are the primary payment infrastructure. Deposits land in your y998 PKR balance within 60 seconds, 24 hours a day. Withdrawals back to your mobile wallet process in 5–30 minutes. For players in Karachi, Lahore, or anywhere in between, this changes everything.
y998 built its sportsbook around cricket first because that is what Pakistani players actually care about. PSL covered ball by ball with in-play markets from the first over. Pakistan international fixtures, domestic T20s, Champions Trophy, T20 World Cup — comprehensive coverage with real-time PKR odds updated continuously.
All y998 Casino games — slots, RNG tables, live dealers — operate under a framework of independent third-party testing and regular audits. Published RTPs are audited figures, not estimates. Randomness in every slot spin is certified. y998 operates under an internationally recognised gaming framework with ongoing compliance obligations.
One y998 login gives you access to cricket betting, in-play sports markets, 60+ live casino dealer tables, 500+ slots, RNG table games, crash games, and progressive jackpots. One PKR wallet, one account history, one loyalty programme. No switching between sites or managing multiple accounts to access different products.
y998 treats responsible gaming as a product requirement, not a compliance checkbox. Deposit limits, session time reminders, self-exclusion, reality checks — all built into the y998 account settings and accessible in seconds. The platform is for entertainment, and y998 takes active steps to ensure it stays that way for every player.
Behind the neon lights and the live casino tables, y998 is guided by a set of values that we have held since day one. These are not corporate slogans printed on a wall somewhere — they are the actual principles that inform our product decisions, our support interactions, and the way we handle every player concern that comes our way.
When a player in Faisalabad reports a deposit issue at 2 AM on a PSL match night, our values determine how that gets handled. When we decide whether to add a game with lower published RTPs because it has a popular theme, our values determine the answer. When a player requests self-exclusion, our values determine how quickly and thoroughly it is applied.
Every product decision at y998 goes through a simple test: does this make the experience better for Pakistani players? If the answer is yes, we build it. If the answer is no, it does not matter how profitable it might be for the platform — it does not get built.
A complete overview of every gaming and betting product available under the single y998 account login.

y998 is run by a distributed team of professionals across gaming, technology, compliance, payments, and customer experience. While our corporate and licensing structure operates under an internationally recognised framework, our product and support functions are staffed heavily by people who understand Pakistan directly.
Our support team includes agents who speak the language of cricket and know that a query coming in during a PSL Super Over is probably time-sensitive. Our product team tracks PSL fixtures and plans feature releases around major Pakistan cricket events. Our payments team works directly with JazzCash and EasyPaisa to ensure the fastest possible processing times for Pakistani deposits and withdrawals.
We do not publish individual employee names publicly for privacy reasons, but the team behind y998 is real, active, and genuinely invested in the platform they are building. Every support ticket, every bug report, and every suggestion through the feedback channel reaches a human who cares about getting it right.
y998 players are spread across all major Pakistani cities — Karachi leads by volume, followed by Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, and Peshawar. We see active sessions from nearly every district in Pakistan, a reminder of why mobile-first and 4G-optimised loading is non-negotiable for us.
y998 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. This is not a legal footnote — it is a hard requirement enforced at registration, at KYC verification, and through ongoing monitoring. If there is any indication that an account is being used by someone under 21, it is suspended immediately pending verification.
Beyond age restriction, y998 takes problem gambling seriously. The platform exists for entertainment. When gaming stops being entertainment and starts being a problem, y998 provides the tools to stop — and the support to help. We recognise that Pakistani society has specific cultural dimensions around gambling, and we treat our responsibility to player wellbeing accordingly.
No one under the age of 21 may register, deposit, or play on y998 under any circumstances. CNIC verification is required on all accounts before first withdrawal. Accounts where age cannot be verified are suspended. y998 uses third-party age verification in addition to document checks as part of its KYC framework.
y998 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. Online gaming involves real financial risk. Please set limits and play within your means.
Everything we have built at y998 — the cricket sportsbook, the live casino, the slots library, the PKR wallet — is waiting for you. Join over 500,000 Pakistani players who have already made y998 their platform of choice.
