Mobile Betting Behavior Among Pakistani Users

Mobile sports betting in Pakistan is not a one-time action — it has become part of everyday routines. From casual wagers in the afternoon to intense live bets at night, bettors across the country follow patterns shaped by time, lifestyle, and access to mobile data.

This section explores when, where, and how Pakistanis place their bets using their phones.
