Sports Betting at game98 — Built for Pakistan
Betting on sports has always been part of how Pakistani fans engage with the games they love. Whether it's debating who's going to top-score in a T20 or calling which team takes the PSL title before the playoff stage even begins, the analytical side of following cricket, football and other sports lends itself naturally to betting markets. game98 has built its sports betting section specifically with Pakistani users in mind — not as an afterthought adaptation of a platform designed for another region, but as a first-class product with the sports that matter here at the front.
Cricket is the centrepiece of the betting section, and rightly so. Pakistan's cricket calendar is packed throughout the year — bilateral series, home tours, the Pakistan Super League, the ICC events, and T20 leagues from around the world that Pakistani fans follow closely. game98 covers all of these with deep market selections that go well beyond simple match-winner bets. You can bet on top batsman, top wicket-taker, total runs in an innings, method of dismissal, player performance milestones, and dozens of other specific outcomes that reward genuine cricket knowledge.
The live betting interface is where the platform really earns its reputation among regular bettors. Odds update in real time as the match develops, and the range of in-play markets available means you can respond to what you're actually watching rather than being locked into pre-match predictions. A good opening partnership can shift the odds dramatically in a T20 — game98's in-play system captures those movements and lets you act on them while the over is still being bowled.
Sports Available for Betting
Sample Betting Markets
The sample odds above reflect the kind of markets you'll find on game98 during a typical week. Actual odds shift constantly based on team news, pitch conditions, weather reports, and the flow of the match itself. The platform refreshes pricing continuously so you're always working with current market values rather than stale numbers from hours earlier.
Cricket Betting — The Heart of game98's Sportsbook
There's no other sport in Pakistan where the knowledge runs as deep as cricket. Most Pakistani fans who follow the sport seriously can tell you about a player's average in subcontinent conditions, how a particular bowler performs in the death overs under pressure, and which teams historically struggle on bouncy tracks outside Asia. At game98, that knowledge translates directly into betting value because the market selection is detailed enough to use it.
Match-winner odds are the entry point, but the real depth is in the specialist markets. Top batsman markets let you back a specific player to be the highest scorer in a team's innings — useful when you know a particular batter has been in strong form and is batting at three in a settled lineup. Total runs markets cover the full innings, the first 10 overs powerplay, and individual over-by-over breakdowns depending on the match. Method of first dismissal, player fifty or century, team total runs ranges — all of these are available at game98 for major cricket matches.
PSL coverage at game98 goes particularly deep. Every PSL match comes with a full suite of pre-match and in-play markets, including player props that cover individual performance milestones within the match. During PSL season, game98 users tend to be highly active in the live betting section because the format of T20 cricket lends itself perfectly to in-play wagering — a single over can change the game state significantly, and the odds respond accordingly.
Key Betting Market Types
Match Winner Popular
The most straightforward bet — pick the team or player you expect to win the match, series or tournament. Available pre-match and in-play across all sports at game98.
Handicap Betting Pre-Match
When one side is a strong favourite, handicap markets level the field by giving the underdog a virtual head start. Common in cricket run lines — e.g. Pakistan -12.5 runs — and football goal handicaps.
Over / Under Totals Popular
Bet on whether the total runs, goals or points in a match will be over or under a set line. For T20 cricket, this typically applies to total match runs, powerplay runs, or individual innings totals.
In-Play / Live Betting Live
Place bets while the match is in progress. Odds update ball-by-ball in cricket and minute-by-minute in football. One of the most popular features at game98 for users watching live matches.
Player Performance Props Popular
Back an individual player to score 50+ runs, take 2+ wickets, score a goal or reach other specific milestones within the match. Ideal for bettors with strong knowledge of individual player form.
Tournament Outright Bets Pre-Tournament
Predict the winner of a full competition — PSL title, ICC World Cup, Premier League champions. Long-term outright bets often carry the best odds early in a tournament before the field narrows.
Accumulator (Parlay) Bets
Combine multiple selections into a single bet for a multiplied payout. All legs must win for the bet to pay out, but the potential returns grow significantly with each added selection. Popular for weekend football cards.

Esports Betting — PUBG, CS2, Dota 2 and More
Esports betting has grown steadily among Pakistani users at game98, particularly for titles that have an active local competitive scene. PUBG Mobile is the headline esports title for Pakistan — there are national tournaments, a strong viewer base, and teams that compete at international events. game98 covers major PUBG Mobile tournaments with match-winner and tournament outright markets that Pakistani fans can engage with knowledgeably.
Beyond PUBG, game98 covers CS2 major events, Dota 2 international tournaments, League of Legends world championships, and Valorant circuit events. The esports calendar is dense enough that there are events available to bet on almost every day of the year, which makes esports a reliable option for users who want betting activity during quieter periods on the traditional sports calendar.
What Makes game98 Betting Stand Out
All Bets and Payouts in PKR
There is no hidden currency conversion at game98. You deposit in PKR, your bet slip shows PKR values, potential returns are quoted in PKR, and winnings are paid out in PKR directly to your JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or bank account. No exchange rate surprises on withdrawal day.
Real-Time In-Play Odds
game98's in-play betting system updates odds continuously throughout a match. For T20 cricket, prices shift after every delivery. For football, they update after each attacking move and goal. The technology behind this ensures that the odds you see are genuinely reflective of the current game state.
Fully Mobile-Optimised
The game98 betting interface is designed to work smoothly on the phones most Pakistani users actually have. The bet slip, live odds, and match tracking all load efficiently on mobile browsers without requiring an app download. Bet from anywhere using your phone's browser.
Fast Deposit and Withdrawal
JazzCash and Easypaisa deposits are credited almost instantly — you can fund your account and be placing bets within minutes. Withdrawals via Raast and Bank Transfer are processed promptly, with VIP members enjoying priority handling times.
Accumulator Builder
game98 lets you combine selections from multiple matches into a single accumulator bet. Add a cricket match winner, a football correct score, and an esports outcome to the same slip and the odds multiply together. A PKR 500 accumulator with good selections can return significantly more than the same amount split across three single bets.
Betting Activity Counts Toward VIP
Every bet placed in the game98 sportsbook contributes to your monthly VIP tier progress alongside casino and game lobby activity. Reaching higher tiers unlocks weekly PKR cashback, enhanced odds on selected events, and dedicated account support.
