About E-Sports Betting
Competitive gaming has exploded across Pakistan over the past few years. Walk into any gaming café in Lahore's Gulberg area or catch a late-night session at a Karachi gaming lounge and you will find players who follow CS2, VALORANT, and Dota 2 with the same passion that cricket fans track PSL standings. 98par recognised this shift early and built an esports betting section that genuinely reflects how Pakistani gamers think about competition.
What sets the 98par esports offering apart from generic sportsbooks is the depth of markets. Rather than just offering simple match-winner bets, the platform covers map handicaps, first blood, total rounds, tournament outright winners, and more granular in-play propositions that experienced esports bettors actually want. When the ESL Pro League is running or the VALORANT Champions Tour is in full swing, 98par keeps pace with live odds that update in real time.
The practical side matters just as much. All bets are placed and settled in PKR — no mental arithmetic converting from dollars or euros. You deposit via JazzCash or EasyPaisa, your balance reflects in rupees immediately, and when you withdraw your winnings, the same mobile wallet receives the payout within minutes. For players in Faisalabad or Rawalpindi who prefer the convenience of mobile wallet transactions over bank visits, this is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement over offshore sportsbooks that demand international card payments.
98par also maintains a strict 21+ age policy across all betting activities, including esports. The platform is backed by an internationally recognised gaming licence and operates under responsible gaming standards that include deposit limits, session controls, and self-exclusion tools — important safeguards for what can be a fast-paced, high-engagement betting category.

Markets Explained
Understanding the available market types helps you bet with more confidence. Here is a breakdown of every esports bet type you will find on 98par.
Match Winner
The simplest market — pick which team wins the overall match (series). Available for every esports event on 98par. Ideal starting point for players new to esports betting.
Map / Game Handicap
Handicap betting adjusts the map count for one team. If a favourite is -1.5 maps, they must win 2-0 to cover. Offers better odds on strong teams in lopsided matchups.
Total Maps Over / Under
Bet on whether a best-of-3 or best-of-5 series will go to the maximum number of maps. Popular in CS2 and VALORANT where close teams frequently push series to the limit.
Live / In-Play Betting
Odds update in real time as matches progress. Bet on the next round winner, whether a team will comeback from behind, or how many rounds remain — all while watching the action live.
Tournament Outright
Pick the winner of an entire tournament before it begins. IEM Katowice, The International, and VCT Champions outrights offer some of the most attractive long-odds opportunities on 98par.
First Blood / First Kill
A fast-resolution prop bet — which team gets the first kill on a given map. Popular in CS2 and Dota 2 where opening plays are highly analysed and often strongly favoured by team-form data.
Accumulator / Parlay
Combine multiple esports match selections into one multi-bet for multiplied odds. 98par supports accumulators across different titles — mix a CS2 pick with a VALORANT result and a MLBB match in a single slip.
Cash Out
On eligible markets, cash out your bet before a match ends to secure a partial win or minimise a loss. Available on select live esports events at 98par based on current odds movement.
Round / Kill Totals
Bet on specific round counts within individual maps or total kills in a Dota 2 / LoL match. Advanced markets favoured by esports specialists who study team tendencies in detail.

Getting Started
Visit the 98par Login page and sign in with your registered account credentials. New members complete registration in under two minutes. You must be 21 or older to bet on any 98par market.
Head to the Cashier section and select your preferred deposit method. JazzCash and EasyPaisa deposits are instant and free. Minimum deposit is PKR 100 — enough to place your first esports bet immediately.
From the 98par main menu, click on E-Sports. Browse by game title or by upcoming live events. Use the filter to sort by CS2, VALORANT, Dota 2, MLBB, or any other available title.
Click on the odds for the outcome you want — match winner, handicap, total maps, or any other market. The selection is added to your bet slip automatically on the right side of the screen.
Type in your stake amount in PKR. The potential return is calculated instantly and shown on the slip. Review your selection and confirm. Winnings are credited to your 98par wallet as soon as the event settles.
Deposits for Esports
Every payment method at 98par works seamlessly for esports betting. Whether you are topping up before a big CS2 final or catching a live MLBB match on the go, deposits process instantly through the methods Pakistani players already use daily.
JazzCash remains the most used method among 98par esports bettors — the combination of instant processing, zero fees, and near-universal smartphone availability across Pakistan makes it the natural first choice. EasyPaisa follows closely and is particularly popular among players in Karachi and smaller cities where EasyPaisa agent networks are well established.
For larger deposits before major tournament events — like placing a sizeable outright bet on The International — HBL or UBL bank transfers handle limits up to PKR 1,000,000 comfortably. USDT TRC20 is available for crypto-preferring players who value privacy and borderless transactions.
Major esports tournaments typically kick off in the evening Pakistan Standard Time (PST), which aligns well with peak 98par user hours. Set a deposit limit in advance so you are ready to bet as soon as pre-match markets open — popular lines can shift significantly in the hour before a big match starts.
Understanding the Market
Five years ago, esports betting was a niche category on most sportsbooks, tucked away as an afterthought for players looking beyond traditional sports. Today, 98par sees esports bets accounting for a significant and growing share of total sportsbook volume, particularly among younger players aged 21–30 in urban centres like Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, and Islamabad.
The shift is not accidental. Pakistan has always had a strong gaming culture — LAN cafés have been fixtures in commercial districts since the early 2000s — but what changed is accessibility. Fast mobile internet, affordable smartphones, and platforms like YouTube and Twitch brought international esports tournaments directly to Pakistani viewers. Watching FaZe Clan compete in the IEM finals or Sentinels dominate VALORANT Champions became as easy as streaming a PSL cricket match.
When viewership grows, betting interest follows naturally. 98par recognised this early and invested in building an esports section that matched the depth and usability of its traditional cricket and football sportsbook. The result is a platform that treats esports as a first-class betting category rather than a sidebar — complete with live in-play markets, detailed statistics, and tournament outright bets that rival what you would find on dedicated esports bookmakers.
Another practical factor is the timing of esports events. While PSL matches are seasonal and UEFA Champions League fixtures only run certain nights, major esports leagues operate year-round with matches across multiple time zones. Pakistani players on 98par can find live CS2 or VALORANT matches to bet on almost any evening, which makes esports particularly appealing for regular bettors who want consistent action beyond cricket season.
The community element matters too. Pakistani Discord servers, WhatsApp groups, and gaming forums dedicated to CS2 and VALORANT frequently discuss upcoming matches, roster moves, and betting angles. The social dimension of esports — where communities share clips, analyse strategies, and debate team form — translates naturally into a betting environment where informed opinions and sharp market reads can provide genuine edge.
Bet Responsibly. Esports betting at 98par is entertainment, not an income strategy. Set session budgets before you start and never wager more than you can comfortably afford to lose. 98par enforces a strict 21+ age requirement and offers self-exclusion and deposit-limit tools for all users.
