The PKR988 app is built for the devices Pakistani players actually use. Whether you're on a budget Android handset or an iPhone, the experience is smooth and fully featured.
Installing the PKR988 app on Android is a two-minute process. iOS users follow a slightly different flow through the App Store or direct profile install. Both are outlined below.
Because the PKR988 APK is downloaded directly rather than from the Play Store, you need to allow your phone to install from unknown sources. This is a one-time setting under Settings → Security → Install Unknown Apps. It is safe when downloading from the official PKR988 site only.
The PKR988 app is for users aged 18 and over. Download and use responsibly. See Responsible Gaming for session and budget management tips.
Go to the Register page if you're new, or log in to your existing account. The APK download link is available from your account dashboard after logging in.
From your account dashboard, tap the Android download button. Your browser will begin downloading the PKR988 APK file — it's under 30MB so it completes quickly even on a standard 4G connection.
When prompted, tap "Allow" to permit your browser or file manager to install apps from that source. This setting only applies to the specific app you're installing and can be turned back off afterwards.
Go to your Downloads folder, tap the PKR988 APK file, and follow the on-screen install prompt. The app will be installed in seconds and appear on your home screen.
Open the app, log in with your PKR988 credentials, and you have full access to the sportsbook, deposit options and your account settings straight away.
Log in to your PKR988 account from your iPhone's browser. The iOS download option is shown in your account dashboard alongside the Android version.
Tap the iOS download button. You may be asked to trust the app profile under Settings → General → VPN & Device Management. Tap Trust PKR988 to proceed.
Find the PKR988 icon on your home screen, open it, and log in. The full sportsbook — including live cricket and PSL markets — is immediately available.
Everything on the website is available in the app — and in several ways, the mobile experience is actually better for live betting and quick deposits.
All cricket betting markets available on the web platform are present in the app, including in-play markets during PSL and T20 international matches. Odds update in real time.
Watch odds shift during a live match and place bets as the game progresses. The app handles in-play markets smoothly even on slower mobile connections.
Deposit directly through the app using JazzCash or Easypaisa without switching to a browser. The whole deposit flow is handled natively within PKR988.
Get alerts when a match you've bet on is about to start, when key in-play moments happen, or when your withdrawal has been processed. Fully customisable in settings.
Log in quickly and securely using Face ID or fingerprint on supported devices. No need to type your password every time you open the app.
The PKR988 app is built to work well on Pakistan's mobile networks, including 3G and 4G. It loads quickly and doesn't require a Wi-Fi connection for most features.
Check that your device meets the minimum requirements before downloading. The app is intentionally lightweight to support the broadest range of Pakistani handsets.

Most people betting on PKR988 in Pakistan are doing it from their phones. That's just the reality of how mobile-first the country is — desktop usage for sports betting is a small fraction compared to mobile. The PKR988 app was built knowing this, so rather than being a stripped-down version of the website, it's a fully featured experience designed specifically for a small screen.
Anyone who's tried to place an in-play bet on cricket through a mobile browser knows the frustration. The page refreshes, the odds have changed, and by the time you get back to where you were, the moment has passed. The PKR988 app avoids this. In-play odds update in real time through the app's data connection without requiring page reloads. When a wicket falls and the market reopens, you see the new odds instantly and can act on them straight away.
During PSL season especially, this makes a significant difference. PSL matches tend to swing dramatically — a couple of quick wickets in a powerplay can flip a market completely. Being able to react in real time without a browser lag gives you a much better betting experience, and it's one of the main reasons regular PKR988 users switch to the app once they've tried it.
On the web platform, depositing via JazzCash requires you to either switch to the JazzCash app or use USSD — both of which take you away from the PKR988 session. Inside the PKR988 app, the JazzCash deposit flow is integrated so you don't lose your place. The same applies to Easypaisa. You initiate the deposit, confirm it via the respective wallet app, and return to PKR988 with your balance already updated.
For smaller top-ups — say PKR 500 or PKR 1,000 before a T20 match — this in-app deposit flow is noticeably faster than going through a browser. It's the kind of quality-of-life improvement that makes a real difference when you're trying to place a bet before the toss.
The PKR988 app can send you push notifications when matches you've bet on are about to start, when important in-play events happen, or when your withdrawal has been processed. You can customise which notifications you receive in the app settings — so if you only want match alerts and not promotional messages, you can set that up. It's a useful feature for anyone who places bets in advance and wants to know when a match is going live without having to check manually.
A good chunk of smartphone users in Pakistan are on mid-range or budget Android handsets — phones in the PKR 20,000 to PKR 40,000 range with modest processors and 2–3GB of RAM. The PKR988 app is specifically optimised for these devices. It doesn't rely on heavy graphics or memory-intensive animations. The interface loads quickly, navigation is smooth, and live betting works without stuttering even on a reasonable 4G connection in Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad.
If you're using an older handset running Android 7 or 8, the app will still function, though performance will be best on Android 10 and above. The minimum requirement of Android 7 means a huge range of devices in Pakistan are compatible.
PKR988 releases app updates periodically to add new features, improve performance and fix any issues. On Android, you'll receive an in-app prompt when an update is available — just tap to download and install the new APK. On iOS, updates may come through the same install channel used for the initial download. It's worth keeping the app updated since newer versions often bring improved odds loading speeds and better stability during high-traffic periods like major PSL matches.
The PKR988 app is an adult platform. Only players aged 18 and above should download and use it. Set a betting budget before each session and take regular breaks. Visit Responsible Gaming for more guidance.
