From Pakistan Super League to T20 internationals, domestic football and top-tier Esports tournaments — 98ef covers the sports Pakistani players actually follow. Live in-play betting, competitive odds and PKR deposits that land in seconds via JazzCash or Easypaisa.
Sports Betting at 98ef
Sports betting in Pakistan is not a casual pastime for most people who do it — especially when cricket is involved. Following a match on TV, having an informed opinion on who will take the next wicket or which team will post 180+ in a T20, and then being able to act on that knowledge with a proper wager is a genuinely different experience to just watching. That is what 98ef's betting section is designed for.
The platform covers cricket comprehensively — Pakistan national team fixtures, PSL across all franchises, T20 internationals and major bilateral series. Markets go beyond just match winner. You can bet on top batsman, over/under run totals, method of next dismissal, team totals per innings and a range of special markets that open up during high-profile matches. For PSL specifically, pre-match and in-play markets are available from the toss through to the final delivery.
Football coverage at 98ef is not an afterthought. Premier League, Champions League, La Liga and international fixtures are all listed alongside Pakistan domestic football when fixtures allow. The odds update in real time and live betting lets you place wagers during matches based on how the game is developing — useful for the kind of tactical reads that football watchers in Pakistan genuinely develop after following European football for years.
Esports is the fastest-growing section on the 98ef sportsbook. CS2, DOTA 2, Valorant, League of Legends and major mobile titles now have dedicated betting markets that rival the depth of traditional sports. Pakistan's Esports community has grown sharply in recent years and 98ef reflects that — the Esports section is updated continuously as tournament schedules develop through the year.
Top up via any local method, bet in PKR, and withdrawals come back to the same account. No currency conversion needed.
Sports Coverage
The sportsbook covers more than 20 sports categories. Here are the four most popular among Pakistani players on the platform right now.
The heartbeat of 98ef's sportsbook. Full coverage of Pakistan fixtures, PSL, T20 World Cup, bilateral series and international Tests.
Premier League, Champions League, La Liga and international tournaments. Live betting updates in real time as matches unfold.
CS2, DOTA 2, Valorant, LoL and mobile titles. Majors, regionals and weekly tournaments covered with live odds throughout each match.
Grand Slams, ATP and WTA tour events plus Basketball, Kabaddi, Table Tennis and other sports from a growing list of 20+ categories.
PSL & T20 Cricket
If there is one time of year when the 98ef sportsbook really comes alive for Pakistani players, it is PSL season. The tournament runs from February through March and during that window, the platform carries comprehensive pre-match and in-play markets for every single fixture — group stage through to the final.
Pre-match markets open 48 to 72 hours before each PSL game. By the time you are sitting down the night before to study form, injury news and pitch reports, the full range of options is already available. Tournament outright betting — picking the PSL champion at the start of the season — carries some of the best value on the platform simply because the odds shift throughout the tournament as teams gain or lose momentum.
In-play PSL betting at 98ef updates ball by ball. Odds on match winner shift after every over based on the current run rate, wickets in hand and target. The experience is genuinely engaging if you watch the match simultaneously and understand the dynamics of T20 cricket. A team at 100/2 chasing 175 with eight overs left has a very different probability profile than when the same team is 80/4 — and the live market reflects that in real time.
Tournament winner, top run-scorer, most sixes, top wicket-taker and franchise-specific specials all available from PSL opening day.
In-play odds update continuously during PSL matches. Next over total, next wicket method, powerplay runs and live match winner all available.

Platform Features
Odds refresh in real time during matches. Place bets after the game starts when you have more information about how things are developing. Available for cricket, football, tennis and Esports simultaneously.
98ef works to keep margins on popular cricket and football markets as tight as possible. Particularly on match winner and totals markets for PSL and major T20 fixtures, the odds reflect genuine value rather than excessive overround.
The 98ef sportsbook is built for mobile use. Whether you are watching a PSL match on TV and checking live odds on your phone, or browsing upcoming football fixtures during a commute, the interface works cleanly on any screen size.
Combine multiple selections across different matches and sports into one accumulator bet. The potential payout multiplies with each added selection. A popular choice for PSL weekends when multiple matches run across two days.
Winning bets are settled and credited to your account balance shortly after the relevant result becomes official. Cricket match settlements typically process within 30 minutes of the final ball. No waiting around for manual review on standard markets.
Your full bet history is available in your account at all times. Review past selections, track win/loss over time and use the data to inform future decisions. It is also useful for setting personal spending limits based on what you have actually placed.
Common Questions
Responsible Betting
Sports betting at 98ef should be an extension of your enjoyment of cricket, football and Esports — not a financial strategy or a way to recover money you cannot afford to lose. Before each session, decide on a fixed PKR budget and stick to it regardless of early results. Set a time limit on betting sessions and step away when that time is up, whether you are up or down.
98ef offers account tools for setting deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion options. If you feel your betting is becoming something you cannot control, use those tools or take a break. Adult use only — 18+ is a strict requirement, not a suggestion.
