Responsible Gaming at 88bd

We are committed to keeping gambling fun, fair, and safe for every player across Bangladesh. Your well-being always comes first.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At 88bd, responsible gaming is not a policy footnote — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that online entertainment, including cricket betting, live casino, and slots, should remain a source of enjoyment, never a source of stress or financial hardship. We have built a suite of practical tools that empower every player in Bangladesh to stay in control of their activity at all times.

Gambling is a form of paid entertainment. Every bet placed on 88bd should be treated as the cost of that entertainment, never as a strategy to earn income or recover losses. If you ever feel your gambling habits are changing in a way that concerns you, the resources and tools on this page are here to help. Reaching out early is always the right decision.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Knowing the warning signs early gives you the best chance to address the issue before it affects your daily life, relationships, or finances. Ask yourself the following honestly:

1

Chasing LossesDo you find yourself placing larger bets after a losing session to try to win the money back? This is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling.
2

Spending Beyond Your MeansAre you using money earmarked for rent, groceries, family expenses, or other essentials to fund your gambling activity? This is a clear signal to seek help immediately.
3

Gambling to EscapeAre you turning to online betting as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, or depression rather than seeking healthier alternatives? This pattern requires professional attention.
4

Hiding Your GamblingDo you feel the need to hide the amount of time or money you spend on gambling from family or friends? Secrecy is often a sign that you already sense something is wrong.

Important: If you answered yes to any of the above questions, please consider using our self-exclusion or time-out tools immediately, or contact our support team at [email protected]. You can also reach out to international problem gambling helplines available online. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set a deposit limit on my 88bd account?

Log in to your 88bd account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section under Account Settings. Select Deposit Limits, choose your preferred period (daily, weekly, or monthly), enter your desired limit in BDT, and confirm. The limit is active immediately. To lower a limit, the change is instant. To raise a limit, a mandatory review period applies to ensure you have had time to reconsider.

What is self-exclusion and how long can I self-exclude for?

Self-exclusion is a formal request to block access to your 88bd account for a chosen period. Options available are 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent closure. Once self-exclusion is active, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. To request self-exclusion, go to Account Settings, then Responsible Gaming, and select Self-Exclusion. Alternatively, contact [email protected] directly.

Can I take a short break without permanently closing my account?

Yes. The Time-Out feature lets you temporarily suspend your account for a period of your choosing, from as short as 1 hour to as long as 6 weeks. Your account data is preserved and you can return after the time-out expires. This is ideal if you simply want a cooling-off period without committing to a long-term self-exclusion.

Is there a minimum age requirement to play on 88bd?

Yes. All players must be aged 21 or above to register and play on 88bd. We conduct age verification checks at the point of registration and may request official documentation such as a National ID card or passport at any time. Accounts found to belong to underage players are immediately suspended and any funds returned.

How can I contact 88bd if I am struggling with my gambling?

If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, please email our dedicated responsible gaming support team at [email protected]. We treat all such communications with complete confidentiality and without judgment. You can also use the self-exclusion or time-out tools directly within your account at any time, without needing to contact support first.
