The full 498pkr experience — PSL betting, live casino, slots, deposits and withdrawals in PKR — available as a dedicated mobile app for Android and iOS. This page has everything you need to get it installed and running on your phone.
Most Pakistani players access 498pkr from their phone — and for good reason. The mobile app puts the entire platform in your pocket: live cricket odds that update ball by ball, PSL match markets open from fixture announcement through to the final over, live casino tables streaming around the clock, and deposits and withdrawals through JazzCash, Easypaisa and Raast without ever opening a laptop.
The 498pkr app is available for both Android and iOS. Android users can download the APK directly — the installation process takes a couple of minutes and is straightforward once you've adjusted one setting in your phone's security options. iOS users can access the platform through the mobile browser on Safari with the option to add it to the home screen for a near-app experience, or through the dedicated iOS app where available.
This page covers both platforms in detail: what the app includes, how to download and install it on your device, what to check if you run into issues during installation, and how the mobile experience compares to using the desktop version. Whether you're a regular 498pkr player upgrading from browser to app, or a new player starting on mobile from day one, the information here applies to you.
One thing worth noting upfront: because 498pkr's Android app is distributed as an APK rather than through the Play Store, you'll need to allow installation from unknown sources before it installs. This is a standard step for APK files and is completely reversible — you can turn the setting back off immediately after installation. The full walkthrough is in the Android section below.
498pkr is available on Android and iOS — pick your device below
Download the 498pkr APK directly to your Android phone. Compatible with Android 6.0 and above. Most Pakistani players use Android, and the APK installation gives you the full native app experience.
iPhone and iPad users can access 498pkr via Safari with home screen installation, or through the dedicated iOS app where available. The full platform functionality — betting, casino, deposits, withdrawals — is accessible on iOS.
Follow these steps to install the 498pkr APK on your Android phone. The whole process takes about two minutes.
Visit the 498pkr App page on your Android phone's browser. Use Chrome or the default browser that came with your device — both work fine.
Tap the Android download button. Your browser will begin downloading the APK file. You may see a warning that this is a file from the internet — this is normal, tap "OK" or "Download anyway" to continue.
When you tap the downloaded file, Android may ask permission to install apps from this source. Go to Settings → Security (or Privacy) → Install Unknown Apps, find your browser, and toggle it on. This setting only needs to be changed once.
Return to your downloads folder or notification bar, tap the APK file, and tap "Install". The installation takes about 15–30 seconds depending on your phone.
Once installed, open the 498pkr app from your home screen or app drawer. Log in with your existing account or register a new one directly inside the app.
Android's "install unknown sources" warning appears for any APK that isn't downloaded from the Play Store. It doesn't indicate that the file is harmful — it's Android's way of asking you to confirm you're choosing to install it manually.
Once 498pkr is installed, you can go back to Settings and turn that permission off again if you prefer. The app will continue to work normally. You only need the setting enabled during the installation itself.
If your phone asks whether to scan the APK with Play Protect before installing, you can proceed — the app will pass the scan or you can choose to install regardless if a warning appears.
iPhone and iPad users have a couple of options to access 498pkr on mobile. The home screen shortcut gives you the quickest launch experience.
Go to 498pkr.pro in Safari. For the best experience on iOS, use Safari rather than Chrome or other browsers — the home screen add feature works specifically through Safari.
At the bottom of the Safari screen, tap the Share button (the box with an arrow pointing upward). A menu will appear with various options for the current page.
Scroll through the share menu options and tap "Add to Home Screen". You can edit the name that appears under the icon — "498pkr" works well — then tap "Add" in the top right corner.
The 498pkr icon now appears on your iPhone home screen. Tapping it opens the platform directly in a full-screen view without the Safari address bar, which feels close to a native app experience.
Everything the full platform includes, optimised for your phone screen
Full cricket betting including PSL fixtures, T20 internationals, bilateral series and ICC tournaments — with live in-play odds updating through the match.
Bet ball by ball during live cricket or minute by minute in football. The app's live section refreshes automatically — no need to reload the page manually.
Baccarat, blackjack, roulette and other live dealer tables streaming in HD on mobile. The app handles the video stream smoothly on a standard 4G connection.
The full slots library, including bonus round games and progressive titles, all playable on the app. Touch-friendly controls make spinning on mobile feel natural.
JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer and card payments all work inside the app. No need to switch to a browser for transactions — everything stays in one place.
Android app users can enable push notifications for upcoming match alerts, live odds movement on selected events, and important account updates.
The app is optimised for Pakistan mobile networks. It loads quickly on both 4G and strong 3G connections, so you're not waiting around during live matches.
All account data and payment transactions are encrypted. Your PKR deposits and withdrawals go through the same secure channels as the desktop platform.
The app uses the same dark electro-red design as the full platform. It's easy on the eyes during night-time sessions and looks sharp on AMOLED screens.

Common questions from Pakistani players about the 498pkr app download
498pkr is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. Having the app on your phone makes the platform more accessible — which is great for catching live cricket odds mid-match, but it also means it's easier to play more frequently than you might intend. It's worth setting a session budget before you open the app, the same as you would if you were sitting at a computer.
If you'd like guidance on managing your time and spending on the platform, the Responsible Gaming page has practical tools including information on setting limits and taking breaks. It's accessible from within the app the same as any other page.
