r989 was built with one straightforward goal: to give players in Pakistan a proper online gaming experience that works for them — in their currency, on their devices, with the sports and games they actually care about. This page covers who we are, what we stand for and how we built the platform to fit the way people in Pakistan play.
r989 is an online gaming and sports betting platform that focuses entirely on the Pakistan market. Most platforms available to players in Pakistan are built for global audiences and then adapted — the payment methods are awkward, the currency handling requires conversion, and local sports like PSL cricket are treated as secondary content. r989 takes a different approach entirely.
From the beginning, the platform was designed with Pakistani players in mind. That means PKR is the native currency across the entire site — you deposit in PKR, your balance shows in PKR and you withdraw in PKR. There are no conversion fees hidden in the middle. JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and local bank transfers work natively within the platform rather than being bolt-on additions.
Cricket is at the centre of the sports betting experience on r989. PSL matches, T20 internationals, test cricket — all covered with live in-play odds that update over by over. Football and Esports are also well-represented for players who follow the global game or competitive gaming. The sportsbook is designed for how Pakistani fans actually follow their sport — in real time, on mobile, often during live broadcasts.
Beyond sports, r989 offers a full casino product: 500+ slot games from leading providers, live dealer tables with real dealers streaming in real time, and a growing jackpot selection. The game library is available on both desktop and mobile, with a dedicated app for Android and iOS that gives players the complete experience from their phone.
"We built r989 because players in Pakistan deserve a platform that actually understands them — their payment methods, their sports, their devices, and the way they like to play."
Every product decision at r989 starts with the question of whether it genuinely improves the experience for players in Pakistan. Feature requests from the community directly shape what we build next.
All games on r989 use certified random number generation. Player accounts and financial data are protected with industry-standard encryption. We do not compromise on either.
Deposits arrive in seconds, withdrawals process without unnecessary delays, and the platform is engineered for uptime — particularly during high-traffic live cricket events.
r989 provides tools that help players manage their activity — deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion options. Gaming should be entertainment, and we take that seriously.
Six things that define the r989 experience for players across Pakistan
PSL, T20 internationals, ODIs and Test matches — r989 covers all major cricket formats with competitive live odds. In-play betting updates ball by ball so you never miss the moment to place your bet.
Your r989 account balance is held in PKR from start to finish. JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and bank transfers are all built in — not redirected to external portals. Deposits land in seconds.
The r989 app runs on Android 7.0+ and iOS 13.0+ — covering almost every device in use across Pakistan today. It is optimised for mid-range phones and average 4G data speeds, not just flagship devices.
From classic three-reel titles to multi-line Megaways and progressive jackpots, the r989 slot library covers every style. New games are added regularly based on what players actually request.
The r989 VIP system rewards consistent players with tier-based cashback, faster withdrawals, higher deposit bonuses and access to exclusive games. Progress is tracked transparently in your account dashboard.
The r989 support team is available around the clock through live chat and email. Whether you have a payment question at 3am or need help navigating a new feature, someone is always available to help.
r989 has grown steadily by staying focused on what Pakistan players actually need, rather than chasing features that look good in a marketing deck but add no real value to daily use.
r989 launched with a focused sportsbook covering cricket and football, plus a core slot game library. PKR deposits via JazzCash and Easypaisa were available from day one.
Live dealer tables — roulette, blackjack and baccarat — were introduced following strong demand from players who wanted the feel of a real table game without leaving home.
The dedicated r989 Android and iOS app launched with full feature parity to the desktop site. Session persistence and biometric login were included from the first version.
The r989 VIP system introduced tiered cashback and exclusive promotions for regular players, recognising loyalty with tangible benefits rather than just a label.
CS2, Dota 2 and mobile gaming coverage was added to the sportsbook as Esports viewership and betting interest grew significantly across Pakistan's younger player base.
r989 integrated Raast — Pakistan's interoperable digital payment system — giving players another fast, low-friction option for deposits and withdrawals directly from their bank account.
One thing that consistently comes up when talking to players across Pakistan is that most international platforms treat the local market as an afterthought. The payment flow is clunky, the currency conversion adds hidden costs, the sportsbook focuses on European football and ignores PSL, and customer support is clearly based somewhere that has no idea what JazzCash is.
r989 was built specifically to address those gaps. The payment infrastructure was built around JazzCash and Easypaisa from the beginning — these are not workarounds, they are the primary payment rails. When you tap deposit on r989 and select JazzCash, you are using a native integration that is fast, reliable and free of the friction that comes with third-party processing layers.
The sports betting product is similarly Pakistan-first. The r989 sportsbook treats cricket as the flagship sport, not a minor addition. During PSL season, odds are available on every match including mid-season eliminations and the final. Live in-play betting means you can place bets between overs as the match evolves — the kind of feature that actually makes cricket betting engaging rather than just pre-match wagering.
The technology infrastructure behind r989 is also built for Pakistan's network conditions. The platform is hosted on servers with low latency for Pakistani users. The app is optimised for mid-range Android devices — which are far more common in Pakistan than flagship phones — and loads quickly on standard 4G connections without requiring high data allowances.
Support is available around the clock in English that is natural and clear for Pakistani users. When you contact r989 support, you are not reading a response that was written for a different market and adapted. The team understands local payment methods, local sports context and the specific questions that come up for players in Pakistan.
