98ab uses your personal data for the following purposes:
Each data processing activity carried out by 98ab is underpinned by one of the following lawful bases:
98ab shares personal data with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist in operating the platform. These include KYC and identity verification providers, payment processors (JazzCash, EasyPaisa, SadaPay, HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank), fraud detection technology providers, casino game software providers, and cloud hosting infrastructure providers. All such providers are bound by contractual data processing agreements that restrict their use of your data to the specific service they provide to 98ab.
98ab may disclose personal data to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or gaming licensing bodies where required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory direction. Such disclosures are made only to the extent required and in compliance with applicable legal procedures.
98ab does not sell, rent, license, or otherwise commercially transfer your personal data to any third party for their independent marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes. Your 98ab data is not a revenue stream — it is used only to operate and protect the 98ab service.
When 98ab transfers your data to a third-party processor, that processor acts under 98ab's instructions and is contractually prohibited from using your data for any purpose beyond the service they provide. 98ab remains the data controller responsible for your personal information throughout.
The 98ab platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate, secure, and improve the platform. The categories of cookies used are as follows:

As a user of the 98ab platform, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data, as summarised in the cards section above and detailed here:
To exercise any of these rights, contact 98ab's support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Rights Request" and a description of your request. You will be asked to verify your identity before any data rights action is taken. 98ab will respond within 30 calendar days.
The 98ab platform is strictly intended for users aged 21 years and above. 98ab does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21. The 98ab registration process includes mandatory age declaration and KYC age verification to enforce this restriction.
If 98ab becomes aware that personal data has been collected from an individual under 21 — whether through a false age declaration or a failure of verification procedures — the affected account will be closed immediately, any funds will be returned to the verified payment source, and all personal data collected in relation to that account will be deleted to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor under 21 has registered on the 98ab platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We take underage gambling concerns extremely seriously and will act without delay.
With your consent, 98ab may send you promotional communications about bonuses, new game launches, PSL cricket betting specials, seasonal promotions, and platform updates via email and SMS. Consent for marketing communications is obtained at registration and can be withdrawn at any time.
To opt out of marketing communications from 98ab, you may: use the unsubscribe link in any promotional email; update your communication preferences in your 98ab account settings; or contact [email protected] with the subject line "Marketing Opt-Out". Opt-out requests are processed within five business days. Please note that opting out of marketing does not affect transactional communications, such as deposit confirmations, withdrawal notifications, and account security alerts — these will continue regardless of marketing preference.
The 98ab platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources. This Privacy Policy applies solely to the 98ab platform at 98ab.one and does not extend to any third-party sites or services that may be accessible via links on our platform. 98ab is not responsible for the privacy practices, data collection activities, or content of any third-party site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you visit.
98ab reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal obligations, or platform functionality. Any material changes to this Privacy Policy will be communicated to registered users via email to the address on file, with at least seven (7) days' notice before the updated policy takes effect.
The "Effective Date" at the top of this Privacy Policy reflects the date of the most recent revision. It is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed of any changes. Your continued use of the 98ab platform following the effective date of any amended Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
Where changes materially expand the scope of data processing, increase data retention periods, or introduce new categories of data sharing, 98ab will seek your renewed consent before applying such changes to your existing account data.
