The sq98 Android app puts cricket betting, live casino, slot games and PKR payments in your pocket. One download, everything in one place — no browser shortcuts, no slow loading screens.
Because the sq98 app is distributed as a direct APK rather than through the Google Play Store, you need to allow installations from unknown sources before the file will install. This is a standard one-time setting and takes about thirty seconds to change. The steps below walk you through the whole process — downloading the file, adjusting the setting, and getting the app running on your phone.
The APK is lightweight — well under 30 MB — so it downloads quickly even on a standard 4G connection with moderate signal. Once installed, the app itself runs smoothly on most mid-range Android phones. You don't need the latest flagship device; if your phone can handle WhatsApp and YouTube comfortably, it will handle the sq98 app without issues.
Direct APK download — compatible with Android 6.0 and above. Supports all major Pakistani mobile wallets and PKR transactions.
* You must have a registered sq98 account to use the app. Register here if you haven't already.

Installing an APK file on Android is straightforward once you know the steps. This guide covers the complete process from downloading the file to opening the app and logging in for the first time.
Go to your Android Settings, then navigate to Security or Privacy (the exact label varies by manufacturer). Find the option labelled "Install unknown apps" or "Unknown sources" and enable it for your browser. On newer Android versions, you may be prompted to do this automatically when you try to open the APK.
Navigate to sq98.app in Chrome or your default Android browser. Head to the Download section. Make sure you're on a stable connection — Wi-Fi or 4G both work fine. A shaky 2G signal may cause the download to pause or fail mid-way.
Tap the download link on the page. Android will save the file to your Downloads folder. You may see a warning about downloading files from external sources — this is a standard Android notice, not specific to sq98. Confirm the download and wait for it to complete.
Once the download finishes, pull down your notification shade and tap the completed download notification, or open your Files / Downloads app and locate the sq98 APK. Tap it to begin installation.
Android will show you the app permissions it requires. Review them, then tap Install. The installation typically completes in ten to fifteen seconds on most phones. You don't need to restart your device afterwards.
Once installed, find the sq98 icon on your home screen or app drawer and tap it. If you already have an account, log in with your credentials. If you're new, tap the register option and set up your account. The full platform — cricket betting, sports, casino, slots — is immediately accessible after you log in.
Head to the wallet section, choose your preferred PKR payment method and top up your balance. JazzCash and Easypaisa deposits typically reflect within a minute. From there you're ready to explore the full sq98 Sports section and beyond.
The sq98 APK is distributed exclusively through the official sq98.app website. Always verify the URL before downloading. The file does not require access to your contacts, messages or camera — only standard permissions needed to run a sports betting and casino app.
Everything available on the desktop site, optimised for your Android screen and Pakistani mobile data speeds.
Cricket, PSL, T20 internationals, football, esports and more. Pre-match and live in-play markets available with real-time odds updates directly in the app.
Hundreds of slot games, live casino tables and instant games all accessible from the app. The same full game lobby you get on desktop, scaled cleanly for mobile.
In-play odds refresh quickly without freezing or crashing. The app is built to handle the rapid market movement you get during a PSL match or a football second half.
Deposit and withdraw in PKR without conversion fees. JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, bank transfer and cards all available directly within the app wallet section.
Enable push notifications to get reminders for upcoming fixtures you've marked, in-play market updates and promotional offers relevant to your account activity.
The sq98 app supports a dark theme that reduces eye strain during late-night cricket sessions or extended casino play. Switch between light and dark in the app settings.
The sq98 mobile website works well and you can use it without downloading anything. But the dedicated Android app gives you a noticeably better experience in a few areas that matter when you're actively betting on a live cricket match.
The app loads faster because it doesn't need to re-fetch layout assets every session. Navigation is more fluid — fewer taps to get from the sports lobby to a specific match market. Push notifications mean you don't have to keep the browser tab open to know when a match is about to start or when an in-play market you were watching has moved significantly.
The bet slip on the app also handles multiple selections more cleanly than the mobile browser version, which can require more scrolling on smaller screens. For users who place accumulators regularly — mixing cricket and football markets — this is a practical difference rather than a cosmetic one.
That said, if you prefer not to install anything, the mobile browser version of sq98 is fully functional and covers everything in the app. The choice comes down to how frequently you use the platform.

The sq98 app is currently Android-only. If you're on an iPhone or iPad, the best option is to open sq98.app in Safari or Chrome on your iOS device. The mobile website is fully responsive and covers all the same features — sports betting, casino, wallet and account management.
To make it easier to access, you can add sq98.app to your iPhone home screen using the Share button in Safari and selecting "Add to Home Screen." It will behave similarly to an installed app with a dedicated icon.
iOS app availability may be updated in the future. Check back on this page for any announcements.
