Responsible Gaming — An Important Message

Online gaming and betting is entertainment — not a reliable source of income. Never wager more than you can afford to lose. If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your life, seek help right away. There's no shame in it.

Responsible Gaming What does it mean?

Responsible gaming means keeping gaming in its proper place — as a form of entertainment, not the center of your life. It means staying within your budget, not chasing losses with bigger bets, and taking regular breaks from gaming.

Responsible gaming at 88bd is not just a policy — it is a core part of who we are. We want every member to stay healthy and happy. That is why we offer a range of tools and resources to help you stay in control of your gaming.

Many people in Bangladesh enjoy online gaming without any issues. But for some, gaming can develop into an addiction — and that's not a personal failing. It's a mental health condition, and it's treatable. 88bd is committed to being there for you through that journey.

Keep in Mind: Gaming on 88bd is about enjoying entertainment. The moment it starts feeling like something more than that, take action right away.

88bd's Responsible Gaming Tools

Tools 88bd offers to help you stay in control of your gaming

Set Deposit Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits take effect immediately once set. Lowering your limit is instant — but increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period. That's responsible gaming by design.

Session Time Limit

Set your session length in advance. When your time is up, 88bd will automatically alert you. You can also track how much you've spent in real time, hour by hour.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a gaming break anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks. During this period, no betting or deposits will be permitted. Stepping back after prolonged play or a stressful session is one of the healthiest habits you can build.

Self-Exclusion

Lock your account for anywhere from 6 months to permanently. During self-exclusion, 88bd will not send you any marketing communications. For serious cases, this is the most effective step you can take.

Gaming History & Reports

View your complete gaming activity history — how much you've won and lost, and how long you've played — all presented transparently. Awareness is the first step toward responsible gaming.

Age Verification & Protection

88bd strictly enforces an 18+ age policy. Enable two-factor security to prevent other household members from accessing your account. We make no compromises when it comes to protecting minors.

Yourself Verify

Answer the following questions honestly about yourself

Problem Warning Signs

Seek help if you notice these signs

  • Spending beyond your set budget and feeling regret afterward
  • Chasing losses by placing larger bets to recover money already lost
  • Lying to or hiding gaming activity from family and friends
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gaming
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to game
  • Borrowing money or draining savings to fund gaming
  • Using gaming as an escape from stress or personal problems
  • Unable to cut back or stop gaming despite repeated attempts
  • Spending excessive time gaming while neglecting sleep, meals, or your health
Keep in Mind: If two or more of the above signs apply to you, it's time to seek help. Reaching out takes courage — it's a sign of strength, not weakness.

Healthy Gaming Golden Rules

Responsible Gaming Tips for 88bd Members

Decide in advance how much you're willing to spend on gaming each week or month. Set an amount you can comfortably afford to lose without it affecting your life. Never go beyond your budget chasing extra wins.

Use 88bd's session time limit feature to set a daily or weekly cap on how long you play. When your time is up, stop — win or lose.

"Chasing losses" — betting more to try to win back what you've lost — is one of the most dangerous habits in gaming. It almost always makes things worse. If you're on a losing streak, accept it and step away.

Don't treat gaming as a source of income — it is a form of entertainment. Avoid playing when you are in a bad mood or under stress, as your judgment is compromised in those moments.

Hiding your gaming habits or lying about them to family and friends is a serious warning sign. Talk openly with someone you trust about how much you're playing — and listen to what they have to say.

Never share your 88bd account password with anyone. Make sure underage members of your household cannot access your device.

Gaming Addiction — Understand & Prevent

Before understanding responsible gaming, it helps to understand what gaming addiction actually is. Gaming addiction is a behavioral disorder where a person continues gaming despite negative consequences. It develops gradually and can be difficult to recognize in the early stages.

Many people believe gaming addiction only affects those who are weak-willed — but that is completely false. Anyone can develop this problem under the right circumstances. Gaming platforms are often designed to keep users engaged for longer. That is why staying aware matters.

88bd is committed to being fully transparent about this. We acknowledge that our platform is not without its risks. That's why we've proactively built responsible gaming tools and work to keep our members informed. This is our promise to every member.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, with millions of people enjoying mobile games every day without any issues. However, for a small number of players, it can become a serious problem. Responsible gaming exists precisely for those people.

If you feel something is wrong, the first step is to acknowledge it. Then use 88bd's tools — set a deposit limit, reduce your session time, or take a cooling-off period if needed. If you feel you can't manage on your own, reach out to family, friends, or a professional.

Need Help? 88bd's live chat support is available 24/7 to assist you. Contact us for self-exclusion or any other support you need.

Advice for Parents & Guardians

If a family member is gaming online excessively, your role as a guardian is crucial. Rather than reacting with anger or harsh words, approach them with empathy. Try to understand how they feel and encourage them to seek professional help.

88bd is firmly opposed to underage gaming. If you suspect any minor in your household is using 88bd, please notify our support team immediately. We will take prompt action.
