PKR988 brings together cricket, PSL, football, esports and more under one roof. This page covers how sports betting works on our platform, what markets are available, and how Pakistani players can get the most out of every session.
Online sports betting is straightforward at its core — you pick an outcome, assign a stake in PKR, and if your selection is correct, you receive a return based on the odds at the time of placing. PKR988 provides the platform, the markets, and the odds. You bring the knowledge of your preferred sports.
What makes PKR988 different from a generic offshore platform is that it's designed around Pakistani users. The payment methods are the ones people here actually use — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer, and standard debit cards. The markets prioritise cricket, particularly PSL and Pakistan international matches. The currency is always PKR. There's no fumbling with conversions or dealing with methods that require an international card.
If you ask any regular sports bettor in Pakistan what they bet on most, cricket will come up almost every time. PKR988 reflects this with a sportsbook that treats cricket as the primary product. During PSL season, the depth of available markets is at its widest — you can bet on practically every aspect of a match, from the overall winner down to individual ball outcomes in select formats.
For international cricket — T20Is, ODIs, and Test matches — the coverage is similarly thorough. Pakistan versus any major opposition will have a full market suite available pre-match, and in-play betting opens up as soon as the first ball is bowled. The odds shift in real time based on how the game is progressing, which is what makes in-play cricket betting on PKR988 so engaging. One wicket can change the landscape entirely.
Football markets on PKR988 span the major European leagues — Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A — along with Champions League and Europa League fixtures. For those who follow Pakistani domestic football or Gulf region leagues, those are listed too during active seasons.
Esports has grown steadily as a betting category on PKR988. Titles like CS2, Dota 2, and Valorant have dedicated markets, with tournament betting available for major international competitions. Given how many young Pakistani players follow these games closely, the esports section is one of the faster-growing parts of the sportsbook.
Beyond these, tennis, basketball, volleyball and table tennis are available, giving you alternative markets on days when cricket or football fixtures are light.
Pre-match betting is the traditional format — you look at the available markets before a match begins, assess the odds, and place your bet. The odds are set based on form, team news, historical records and other factors, and they remain locked at the time of your bet regardless of what happens after.
In-play or live betting is a different experience altogether. You can watch a match unfold and react to what's happening. If a Pakistani batsman gets out early and the odds shift heavily against Pakistan, you might see value in backing them at the new longer odds if you believe the innings can recover. The platform updates odds continuously during live events, with brief suspension windows when recalculating after significant moments.
Both formats are available on PKR988 across all major sports. Most experienced bettors use a mix of both — locking in pre-match positions on outcomes they've researched, and adding in-play bets when a game shifts in an unexpected direction.

Whether you're betting for the first time or just getting to grips with a new platform, here's how the process works from start to finish on PKR988.
Visit the Register page and complete the sign-up process. It only takes a few minutes and asks for basic information to verify your identity and set up your account.
Head to the Deposit section. Choose from JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer or card. Funds typically appear in your account instantly or within a few minutes.
Navigate to the sportsbook and choose your sport — cricket is front and centre. Select a match or tournament, then browse the available betting markets.
Click or tap the outcome you want to back. It gets added to your bet slip automatically. You can add multiple selections for an accumulator or keep it as a single bet.
Type in your stake amount in PKR. The potential return is calculated and shown on your slip. Review it, confirm the bet, and you're done. Track your open bets from your account dashboard.
A decimal odd of 2.50 on a PKR 500 stake returns PKR 1,250 total — PKR 750 profit. Simple multiplication: stake × odds = total return.
Combine two or more selections into one bet. All must win. The odds multiply together, meaning potential returns grow significantly — so does the risk.
In-play odds refresh constantly. React to a wicket falling or a red card in football. Markets are briefly suspended while odds recalculate after key moments.
All bets placed on PKR988 are logged in your account history. Review past results, track your profit and loss, and identify which markets suit your style best.
PKR988 uses decimal odds by default, which is the easiest format for calculating potential returns. Here's a comparison of how the same probability looks across different formats.
