Responsible Gaming
at 88gb
88gb believes that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of financial pressure or personal harm. This page explains the tools, protections, and guidance available to every Bangladesh player on our platform. If gaming ever stops feeling fun, we are here to help.
Our Commitment
Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment
At 88gb, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We serve the Bangladesh market with a clear understanding that our platform must provide entertainment safely, fairly, and sustainably. Every feature we build, every policy we write, and every support interaction we handle is shaped by this commitment.
Gambling involves risk. Wins and losses are both part of the experience, and no outcome is ever guaranteed. The 88gb responsible gaming framework is designed to help every player stay in control of their spending, their time, and their emotional wellbeing. We actively monitor for signs of harmful play and provide direct, stigma-free access to support tools and professional resources.
Strictly 21+ Only. The 88gb platform is available exclusively to adults aged 21 years and above. Identity verification is required before full account features are unlocked. Players who cannot verify their age will not be permitted to deposit or place wagers.
Important Reminder: Gambling should never be used as a way to recover money you have already lost. Chasing losses is one of the most common drivers of problem gambling behaviour. If you find yourself betting more to win back previous losses, this is a clear sign that it is time to take a break and speak to someone.
Set a budget before you play. Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing — treat it like the cost of an evening's entertainment. Never exceed that amount, and never use money designated for rent, food, bills, or family expenses to fund your gambling activities.
Track your time. It is easy to lose track of how long a session has lasted, especially during live cricket matches or casino table games. Set an alarm before you start, and stick to it. 88gb's time-out tools can also help enforce session limits automatically.
Player Protection Tools
Six Tools to Keep You in Control
88gb provides a comprehensive set of player protection features that you can activate at any time from your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 88gb account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be lowered instantly but increases require a 48-hour cooling-off period to take effect — giving you time to reconsider.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set time period. When your net losses reach the defined threshold, 88gb will automatically pause your wagering activity for the remainder of that period. This prevents a single bad session from spiralling beyond your planned entertainment budget.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session length so that the platform automatically logs you out after the defined period. You will receive a warning notification five minutes before your session ends, giving you time to wrap up any active bets. Session limits reset at the start of each new login, keeping your play structured.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable periodic pop-up reminders during your session that display how long you have been playing, how much you have deposited, and your net win or loss for that session. Reality checks appear at intervals you select (every 15, 30, or 60 minutes) and serve as a neutral, factual pause to help you make an informed decision about whether to continue.
Time-Out Periods
Take a short break from the platform for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended and you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. You will also be excluded from all promotional communications. Time-outs are designed for players who need a temporary pause to reset.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available. When activated, your account is permanently closed for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, or indefinitely. All marketing communications are stopped immediately. To re-activate a self-excluded account after the minimum period, you must contact our support team and pass a mandatory review process designed to confirm you are ready to return safely.
How to activate these tools: Log in to your 88gb account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming. All six tools are available there. Alternatively, contact our support team at [email protected] and a member of our player protection team will apply any limit or restriction on your behalf, usually within one hour of your request.
Know the Signs
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look the same. It can develop gradually and is often not obvious to the person experiencing it. The following are common warning signs that gambling may be causing harm.
Spending More Than Intended
You consistently exceed the budget you set before starting, or find that sessions run far longer than planned.
Chasing Losses
You place larger or more frequent bets to recover money lost in previous sessions, which typically accelerates further losses.
Neglecting Responsibilities
Work, studies, family commitments, or social relationships are being neglected because of time or money spent on gambling.
Gambling with Essential Funds
You are using money meant for household expenses, rent, utilities, food, or family needs to fund gambling activity.
Emotional Distress
Feelings of anxiety, irritability, depression, or restlessness appear when you are not gambling, or directly after a losing session.
Concealing Your Gambling
You hide the amount you gamble — or your losses — from family members, partners, or close friends out of shame or fear of their reaction.
Borrowing to Gamble
You are borrowing money from friends, family, or financial services in order to continue gambling or to cover gambling-related debts.
Failed Attempts to Stop
You have tried to cut back or stop gambling on your own but found it difficult or impossible to maintain the decision for more than a few days.
Preoccupation with Gambling
Thoughts about gambling — planning the next session, replaying past outcomes, or calculating odds — dominate your daily mental activity.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please do not wait until the situation worsens. Reach out to the 88gb support team at [email protected] or use the self-exclusion tool immediately. Seeking help early leads to significantly better outcomes.

Healthy Habits
Guidelines for Safe, Enjoyable Play
Following these practical guidelines helps keep gambling a positive recreational activity rather than a source of stress. 88gb encourages all Bangladesh players to review these before each session.
- Only gamble with disposable income — money left over after all essential expenses have been covered.
- Set a time limit and a money limit before each session, and commit to both without exception.
- Take regular breaks — step away from the screen every hour, even if you are on a winning streak.
- Balance gambling with other hobbies — social activities, sports, family time, and other interests keep gambling in healthy perspective.
- Never gamble when emotionally vulnerable — avoid playing when you are stressed, tired, grieving, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Treat winnings as a bonus, not income — gambling cannot replace a salary and should never be counted on as a source of regular revenue.
- Be honest with yourself — if you are not enjoying a session, stopping is always the right decision.
Common Pitfalls
Habits to Actively Avoid
These behaviours are associated with escalating gambling harm. If you notice any of these patterns developing, use one of the responsible gaming tools above or contact 88gb support immediately.
- Do not chase losses — increasing your bet size after a losing run rarely recovers losses and usually deepens them.
- Do not gamble with borrowed money — loans, credit cards, and advances from friends or family should never be used for gambling.
- Do not neglect sleep — late-night sessions impair judgment and lead to riskier decision-making at the betting table.
- Do not treat gambling as a solution to financial problems — it is statistically far more likely to make financial difficulties worse, not better.
- Do not play multiple games simultaneously to speed up sessions — this reduces attention and increases the risk of unplanned spending.
- Do not ignore the signs — if friends or family express concern about your gambling habits, take their feedback seriously and consider speaking to a professional.
Under-Age Protection
Keeping Minors Safe
88gb is a strictly 21+ platform. No person under the age of 21 is permitted to register, deposit, or wager under any circumstances. We employ multiple layers of age verification to enforce this policy, including date-of-birth collection during registration and government-issued ID verification (KYC) before withdrawals and full account access are granted.
If a user is found to be under 21 years of age, their account will be closed immediately, all funds will be returned to the original payment method, and all associated data will be securely deleted in line with our Privacy Policy.
For parents and guardians: If you share a device with a minor and you use 88gb, always log out after each session and do not save your password in the browser. Consider installing parental control software on shared devices to prevent access to gambling websites by children and teenagers.
Age Declaration at Registration
Every new user must confirm they are aged 21 or above during the registration process. False declarations are a breach of the 88gb Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account closure.
KYC Identity Verification
A government-issued National ID or passport is required for KYC verification before full account privileges are granted. This process confirms both identity and age beyond reasonable doubt.
Ongoing Monitoring
88gb's compliance team reviews flagged accounts and may request additional documentation at any point during the account lifecycle if age concerns arise. Accounts under review are restricted until verification is complete.
Parental Control Guidance
We recommend parental control tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and similar software for households where minors and adults share internet-connected devices. These tools can block access to gambling websites across all browsers.
