Responsible Gaming at 88bd
88bd believes that gambling should be entertaining, not harmful. We provide every registered player in Bangladesh with the tools, information, and support needed to stay in control — because your wellbeing always comes before the game.
Playing Smart with 88bd
At 88bd, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We have built this platform for Bangladeshi players who want to enjoy cricket betting, live casino, and slots as a form of entertainment. We are committed to ensuring that every player can set personal boundaries, access help quickly, and make informed decisions at every stage of their journey with us.
Problem gambling affects a small but significant portion of players in any market. In Bangladesh, where mobile betting has grown rapidly alongside the popularity of BPL cricket and international T20 tournaments, the ease of access makes proactive safeguards more important than ever. 88bd has invested in practical tools — deposit limits, session reminders, time-out periods, and full self-exclusion — so that you remain in control at all times.
Our responsible gaming framework applies to every player, regardless of their deposit history, playing frequency, or preferred game type. Whether you play slots on weekends or follow every Bangladesh Tigers match, these protections are available to you at no cost, with immediate effect, and without any negative consequences to your account status.
Six Tools to Keep You In Control
Every 88bd account comes with these tools activated and ready to use. Access them at any time from your account settings or by contacting our support team directly.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your 88bd account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time with immediate effect. Raising a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the increase takes effect — this is intentional, giving you time to reconsider.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, 88bd allows you to set a maximum loss threshold over a given time period. If your net losses reach the limit you have chosen, the platform will automatically restrict further wagering until the period resets. This tool is particularly valuable during high-intensity cricket seasons like the BPL or IPL, when the temptation to chase losses can be strongest.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum continuous play duration for any single session on 88bd. When the limit is reached, you will receive an on-screen notification and be automatically logged out. Session time limits help prevent the kind of extended uninterrupted play that research consistently links to harmful gambling behaviours. You can set limits from 30 minutes up to 8 hours per session.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable periodic in-play notifications that display how long you have been playing in the current session and your net win or loss position. Reality check reminders are shown at intervals you choose — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — and prompt you to decide consciously whether to continue or stop. This tool is recommended for all players, regardless of experience level.
Time-Out Periods
Take a short break from gambling without permanently closing your account. 88bd offers time-out periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bets. The time-out cannot be cancelled once activated. This is ideal if you feel you need a brief pause to reassess your relationship with gambling.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is causing serious harm, self-exclusion allows you to permanently close your 88bd account for a minimum period of 6 months, with options extending to 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, all marketing communications are stopped, and your data is flagged to prevent re-registration. This is our most powerful protective tool and it is always free to activate.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious. Many players who develop harmful patterns initially believe they are in full control. The following warning signs are widely recognised indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use one of our protective tools or contact our support team immediately.
Ask Yourself These Questions
Honest self-reflection is one of the most effective first steps toward responsible gambling. The questions below are adapted from widely used screening tools. There are no right or wrong answers — the purpose is to help you think clearly about your gambling habits.
If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we encourage you to activate a time-out or contact 88bd support. Answering "yes" to five or more is a strong indicator that professional support would be beneficial.
