Bet on live cricket matches, Pakistan Super League fixtures, international football, and more — all from one platform, funded directly in PKR via JazzCash or Easypaisa.
From Test cricket to PSL to European football — the betting section covers the sports Pakistani players actually follow.
The heart of apk98 betting. Bet on match winner, top batsman, total sixes, over/under runs, player performance, and dozens of ball-by-ball live markets during every Pakistan international and PSL fixture.
English Premier League, Champions League, and local football markets. 1X2, both teams to score, correct score, first goalscorer and Asian handicap lines all available before and during matches.
Esports betting has grown quickly among younger Pakistani players. Maps won, match winner, first kill, tournament outright — the markets cover major CS2, Dota 2, and VALORANT events around the clock.
All four Grand Slams plus ATP and WTA tour events. Set winner, game handicap, total games, and live match betting on every significant fixture across the calendar year.
NBA regular season and playoffs, plus EuroLeague fixtures. Point spread, over/under total points, moneyline, quarter betting, and player prop markets available in-play and pre-match.
Fast, high-frequency betting. Table tennis markets run day and night with short match durations, making it a preferred option for players who want quick results and constant action.
UFC and major MMA cards with round betting, method of victory, and total rounds. Athletics betting covers major championships — sprint, field, and marathon events.
Long-term outright betting on tournament winners, season top scorers, and award markets. Bet on who wins the PSL, ICC World Cup, or Premier League Golden Boot well in advance of the final.
One selection, one outcome. If your pick is correct you win at the odds you took. The simplest format and the best starting point for new bettors.
Combine multiple selections into one bet. All picks must win for the bet to pay out, but the odds multiply across selections — small stakes can return significant amounts.
Bet while the match is in progress. Odds shift in real time based on what is happening on the field. Particularly popular for T20 cricket because of how quickly the momentum changes.
Levels the playing field between mismatched teams by giving one side a head start. Eliminates the draw from football and produces two roughly even-money selections.
Bet on whether a total — runs in an innings, goals in a match, rounds in a fight — will be higher or lower than a line set by the sportsbook. Works across almost every sport.
Back a team or player to win a competition outright — PSL, ICC World Cup, Premier League. Placed early in a season for maximum odds; some markets remain open throughout.

If you have been following cricket for years but never placed a bet on a live match before, the apk98 betting section is a reasonable place to start. The platform is designed with Pakistani players in mind — stakes are in PKR, deposits go through JazzCash and Easypaisa, and the sports menu is weighted heavily towards cricket, PSL, and the international tournaments that Pakistan fans actually follow. There is no need to convert currencies or navigate markets built for a different audience.
This guide covers the main aspects of how betting works on apk98, what kinds of markets are available, and a few practical points about managing your betting activity responsibly. It is not a strategy guide or a guarantee of returns — sports betting involves real financial risk and outcomes are unpredictable by design.
Cricket is the most popular sport in Pakistan by a considerable margin, and the apk98 betting section reflects that. During a Pakistan international, the number of active markets available on a single match can run into the hundreds — everything from the outright winner and top batsman to very specific propositions like whether the opening over will include a boundary, or which team wins the powerplay.
PSL gets particular attention. The Pakistan Super League has grown into one of the most-watched domestic T20 competitions in the world, and apk98 covers it match by match throughout the season. Pre-match markets open a few days before each fixture, live in-play markets open at the first ball, and outright markets for the full season — top run scorer, tournament winner, highest team total — are available from the start of the competition.
T20 is especially well suited to live betting because momentum shifts quickly. A two-wicket over in the powerplay can completely change the complexion of a chase. Players who watch matches closely and understand how conditions, pitch behaviour, and batting lineup depth affect run rates will find the live T20 markets considerably more interesting than pre-match lines where the information advantage is smaller.
"I mostly watch PSL for free on TV, but started placing small bets on apk98 during the last season. Having a stake on the match makes every delivery more interesting, and the PKR deposits through Easypaisa made it easy to get started."
In-play betting is available on most major cricket, football, and tennis matches on apk98. Once a match starts, the pre-match odds are replaced by a continuously updating set of live lines. The interface shows the current match state — score, overs bowled, time elapsed — alongside the available markets and their current prices.
One important thing to understand about live betting is that odds update quickly when significant events happen. If Pakistan lose two wickets in quick succession during a chase, the odds for a Pakistan win will lengthen immediately. If you wait for the adjustment to settle before placing, you will usually get a worse price than if you had acted quickly. The flip side is that acting too quickly on a market that is about to move against you is how bettors make expensive mistakes.
apk98 offers a cash-out feature on selected live markets. This lets you close a bet before the event has finished and collect a partial payout based on the current odds. If you backed Pakistan to win at 1.80 and they are cruising at 80 for 2 chasing 130, the cash-out value will be close to your full potential return. If they then stumble to 100 for 7, you will wish you had taken it. Cash-out removes the full outcome uncertainty in exchange for a reduced but certain return — useful for managing risk during close matches.
Football betting on apk98 covers the leagues that Pakistani fans watch most — English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, La Liga, and Serie A. Match betting (1X2), both teams to score, Asian handicap, and correct score are the most popular formats. During Champions League knockout rounds the platform adds player-specific markets including goalscorer, shots on target, and passing accuracy for selected fixtures.
Esports has grown as a betting category faster than most other sports over the last three years. CS2 (formerly CS:GO), Dota 2, and VALORANT have established player bases in Pakistan, and betting on major tournaments has become a natural extension for fans who follow the competitive scene closely. apk98 covers tier-one events like CS2 Majors, The International (Dota 2), and VCT (VALORANT Champions Tour) with map-by-map markets, round totals, and overall match winner lines.
The advantage of esports betting for Pakistani players is availability — major matches happen across all time zones, meaning there are almost always live markets open regardless of what time it is in Pakistan. T20 cricket and PSL fixtures are typically evening events, but if you want to bet on something at 2am on a Tuesday, a CS2 match somewhere in the world is probably running.
All betting on apk98 is conducted in Pakistani Rupees. There is no currency conversion involved — you deposit PKR, your balance is displayed in PKR, you stake in PKR, and any winnings are paid back in PKR. Minimum stake on most markets starts from PKR 50 for pre-match bets and PKR 100 for live in-play markets, though this can vary by sport and market type.
Deposits go through JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast bank transfer, standard bank transfer, and major debit and credit cards. JazzCash and Easypaisa are the fastest — funds are typically credited within a few minutes of completing the transfer on your phone. Bank transfers and Raast payments may take slightly longer depending on your bank's processing times, but are generally settled within the same business day.
Withdrawals follow the same channels. The processing time for a withdrawal request on apk98 is typically handled within 24 hours from the platform side, after which your bank or mobile wallet completes the transfer according to its own schedule. JazzCash and Easypaisa withdrawals are usually the quickest end-to-end.
apk98 displays odds in decimal format by default, which is the most straightforward to understand. A decimal odd of 2.50 means that for every PKR 100 you stake, you get back PKR 250 if you win — that includes your original stake, so your profit is PKR 150. An odd of 1.50 returns PKR 150 for every PKR 100 staked, giving a profit of PKR 50. Odds below 2.00 are what bookmakers call "odds-on" — you are risking more than you stand to profit.
The margin built into betting odds means the sportsbook keeps a small percentage of every market regardless of which side wins. On a two-outcome market like a cricket match winner, if both sides were offered at exactly 2.00, the sportsbook would break even. In practice they might offer 1.90 and 1.95, which builds in a margin that covers operational costs and generates revenue. Understanding this helps set realistic expectations — you need to win more than roughly 52–53% of your bets at even-money odds just to break even.
The apk98 betting interface is fully responsive and works on any modern smartphone browser. The sportsbook layout adapts to smaller screens with a vertical match list, collapsible sport categories, and tap-to-expand market panels for each fixture. Live matches are marked with a green indicator and sorted to the top of the relevant sport category by default.
For T20 cricket, live scores update inside the betting interface so you do not need to switch between apps to track the match state. Wickets, boundaries, and over summaries are shown next to the live markets, which makes it easier to follow the action and decide whether to place or adjust a bet without losing your place in the interface.
JazzCash and Easypaisa deposits work natively on mobile — you can fund your account and place a bet on a PSL match without switching away from your phone browser. The entire flow from opening the app to having a live bet placed typically takes under three minutes once your account is set up.
Sports betting involves real money and genuine financial risk. The outcome of any bet is uncertain — that is the nature of the activity. apk98 provides tools for players who want to manage their betting within defined limits. You can set weekly or monthly deposit limits from your account settings, which prevents you from depositing more than your pre-set budget regardless of how a session has gone. Session time reminders can be configured to alert you after a defined number of hours.
If you want a break from betting entirely, a temporary self-exclusion option is available through the Responsible Gaming section. This suspends your access to the betting and casino sections for a set period without closing your account permanently. The minimum exclusion period and the steps to request one are described in the Responsible Gaming page.
The most practical advice for anyone starting out is to treat your betting budget as entertainment spend rather than an investment. Set an amount you are comfortable losing before you start — because losing is always a possibility — and do not chase losses by increasing stake sizes after a bad run. Flat staking (betting the same amount each time regardless of recent results) is a straightforward approach that makes your session budget predictable and avoids the compounding losses that come from emotional staking decisions.
Registering an account on apk98 takes a few minutes. You will need to provide basic personal details and verify your account before making your first deposit. Once your account is active and your balance is funded in PKR, you can browse the full sportsbook — select a sport from the left menu, choose a fixture, expand the market list, and tap an odds button to add a selection to your bet slip. Enter your stake in PKR, review the potential return, and confirm the bet.
For new bettors, starting with single bets on markets you already understand — Pakistan match winner in a T20, for example — is a more sensible approach than going straight to accumulators or exotic props. Accumulator bets can produce large returns but require all selections to win, and the probability of that happening drops significantly with each additional leg you add.
The apk98 support team is available through live chat in your account dashboard if you have questions about how a specific market works, how to read your bet slip, or how to process a withdrawal. The FAQ section also covers the most common questions about the betting product for Pakistani players.
