Responsible Gaming at 88b8 — Play Smart, Stay in Control
88b8 believes that gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal hardship. Our Responsible Gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, information, and support needed to keep their gaming experience healthy, balanced, and within their means.
At 88b8, we have built one of Bangladesh's most trusted online casino and cricket betting platforms on a simple principle: our players' wellbeing always comes first. Responsible gaming is not a compliance checkbox for us — it is a genuine commitment woven into every part of how we operate.
Gambling on 88b8 should feel like going to a cricket match with friends or enjoying a night at the casino — entertaining, social, and time-limited. It should never feel like an obligation, a way to recover financial losses, or an activity that crowds out the things that matter in life.
All 88b8 players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka to Chittagong, Sylhet to Khulna — have access to a full suite of responsible gaming tools directly from their account settings. These tools are free to use, effective immediately, and never penalised. We encourage every player to explore them, even if they feel their gambling is currently well under control.
The 88b8 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. Age verification is a mandatory part of our registration process, and we take seriously our responsibility to prevent underage access to real-money gambling.
If you feel that gambling is having a negative impact on your life or the life of someone you care about, our Responsible Gaming team is available around the clock. Reach out — there is no judgment, only support.
Every tool below is available free of charge in your 88b8 account settings. Changes to limits take effect immediately. Increases to limits are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling period before they become active.
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing a limit applies instantly; increasing a limit requires a 7-day waiting period to take effect, giving you time to reconsider.
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing in a given period — daily, weekly, or monthly. When your net loss reaches the threshold you have set, 88b8 will automatically restrict further play for the remainder of that period. This tool puts a hard ceiling on how much a session can cost you.
Cap the total amount you are able to wager across all games and betting markets within a set period. Wager limits are particularly useful for players who enjoy high-volume betting activity and want to ensure that session excitement does not lead to spending beyond their planned budget.
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When the time limit is reached, you will receive a clear on-screen notification and be automatically logged out. You can set session limits as short as 30 minutes, helping you maintain a healthy boundary between recreation and real life.
Take a short break from 88b8 without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods are available from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time your account is suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account balance and history are preserved for when the period ends.
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion blocks your account for a minimum of 6 months, up to 5 years or permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen period expires. We will also suppress all marketing communications to you for the duration. This is our strongest protective tool and we encourage its use without hesitation if you feel it is needed.
Activating any responsible gaming tool on 88b8 takes under two minutes. Follow these steps from your account dashboard.
Sign in to your account via the 88b8 Login page. Make sure you are using your own registered account. If you have forgotten your password, use the account recovery option on the login screen.
Go to your account profile and locate the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section within your account settings menu. All tools are grouped together in one place for easy access.
Select the tool you want to activate — deposit limit, loss limit, wager limit, session time limit, cooling-off period, or self-exclusion. Enter the amount or time period that works for you. Review the details carefully before confirming.
All reductions and protective measures (cooling-off, self-exclusion, and limit decreases) take effect instantly upon confirmation. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address. Keep this for your records.
If you are unable to access your account settings or need assistance activating any tool, contact our Responsible Gaming team via live chat or email [email protected] at any time. We can apply protective measures directly to your account on your behalf.

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. These are some of the most common signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. If any of these apply to you, we encourage you to reach out to our support team without delay.
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost, often resulting in larger and larger bets than originally planned.
Feeling the need to conceal how much time or money you are spending on gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.
Seeking loans, using credit facilities, or borrowing from friends and family specifically to fund gambling activity rather than for everyday needs.
Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or discomfort during periods when you are not gambling, or finding it very difficult to reduce or stop gambling voluntarily.
Allowing gambling to interfere with work, family obligations, social commitments, or personal health — including missing important events to gamble instead.
Needing to place progressively larger bets to feel the same level of excitement or engagement that smaller bets previously provided.
Honest answers to these questions can help you reflect on your current relationship with gambling. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team.
Set your limits, know your boundaries, and enjoy 88b8's 500+ games and cricket betting markets as the entertainment they are designed to be. Our team is here 24/7 if you ever need support.
