hh98 started with one straightforward goal: give Pakistani players a genuinely trustworthy, locally-focused online gaming platform. No confusing foreign currency, no payment methods that don't work here, and no games designed without the South Asian player in mind. We built something different — and this is our story.
From a simple idea to Pakistan's most-recognised online gaming brand
There was a time — not so long ago — when Pakistani players who wanted to enjoy online casino games, poker or sports betting had two options: either navigate foreign platforms that didn't accept Pakistani payment methods, or use unlicensed apps with no real accountability. Neither option was good. Payments were a nightmare, customer service didn't understand local issues, and nobody was playing games designed with Pakistani culture and context in mind.
That frustration is exactly where hh98 came from. A team of gaming and technology professionals who had seen firsthand what Pakistani players were dealing with decided to build something properly. Not a copy of a European platform with a PKR label slapped on it — but a platform designed from the ground up with Easypaisa, JazzCash and Pakistani bank transfers as the foundation, with a game library that includes Teen Patti, Ludo and cricket betting alongside international titles.
Today, hh98 serves hundreds of thousands of registered players across every major city in Pakistan — from Karachi and Lahore to Peshawar, Quetta, Islamabad and smaller cities in between. The platform runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with local-language customer support and payment processing that works in minutes rather than days.
Six things we genuinely do better than the alternatives available to Pakistani players
When players first land on hh98, they often comment on how much content there is — and how easy it is to navigate. That's by design. The platform is organised around what players actually want to do, not around what's most profitable to promote. Every major section is accessible in two taps from any page.
The game library at hh98 covers more ground than most Pakistani players expect. The Ludo Games section offers real-money Ludo with multiple board formats and player pools — including the classic four-player format that Pakistanis have grown up with. The Poker room runs Texas Hold'em, Omaha and Sit & Go tournaments 24 hours a day. Jackpot Slots features over 500 titles including progressive jackpots that have paid out over one crore PKR in a single event. And Virtual Sports keeps the action going between real matches with RNG-powered football, cricket and racing events running every few minutes.
The Esports Betting section reflects how Pakistani youth consume competitive gaming — PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, CS2, Dota 2 and Valorant markets are all covered with live in-play betting available during major tournaments. The Refer a Friend programme means that players who introduce hh98 to their circles earn ongoing rewards rather than a one-time bonus, creating a genuine community around the platform.
A brief history of how hh98 grew from a startup idea to Pakistan's most-played online gaming platform
The principles that guide every decision we make at hh98 — from platform design to customer support
Every game's RTP, every bonus condition, every fee (there aren't many) is clearly documented on hh98. We don't hide things in small print or engineer misleading promotions.
Responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, session timers, self-exclusion — are built into the hh98 platform and accessible immediately. We take problem gambling seriously and act on it proactively.
hh98 is not a foreign platform translated into Urdu. It was designed around Pakistani players' preferences, payment habits and favourite games from day one — and it stays that way.
Slow games, missed bets and delayed withdrawals destroy trust. hh98's infrastructure is built to be fast and reliable — uptime is monitored continuously and withdrawals are processed without unnecessary delays.
No hot tables, no manipulated outcomes, no advantage for the house beyond the disclosed edge built into each game's certified RTP. hh98 wins when players enjoy the platform — not by tilting outcomes.
hh98's product roadmap is driven by player feedback. Features that players ask for — new payment methods, game types, bonus structures — are evaluated and implemented regularly rather than once a year.
The payment system at hh98 was the first thing we got right, because it's the most important. Pakistani players deserve to deposit and withdraw in seconds using the apps already on their phone — not jump through hoops with international wire transfers or cryptocurrency wallets. Every payment method at hh98 is local, fast and free of hidden charges.
Deposits are processed instantly. Withdrawals to Easypaisa and JazzCash arrive in under five minutes on average. SadaPay and NayaPay users enjoy the same speed. Bank transfers via IBFT settle within a few hours. The minimum deposit at hh98 is Rs 200 — low enough that any player can try the platform without a significant commitment.
hh98 takes the responsibility that comes with operating a gaming platform seriously. Entertainment is the purpose — and when gaming stops being fun and starts causing stress, that's a problem we want to help with, not ignore.
The hh98 platform includes a full suite of responsible gaming tools available to every player, accessible directly from your account settings at any time:
