Responsible Gaming
You Are Always in Control
At 88bdt, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable pastime — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. This page outlines the tools, resources, and guidance available to help every player on our platform maintain a healthy, balanced relationship with gaming.
Our Commitment
How 88bdt Supports Safe Play
We have built a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools directly into the 88bdt platform — free to use, easy to activate, and effective from the moment you apply them.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 88bdt account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when lowered — increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Session Time Limits
Define the maximum amount of time you are willing to spend in a single gaming session. When your chosen limit is reached, 88bdt will display a clear notification and, if you have enabled enforced time-outs, automatically end your active session to give you a natural break.
Time-Out Feature
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account remains open but all gambling activity is suspended. Promotional communications are also paused for the duration.
Self-Exclusion
For players who feel they need a longer break, 88bdt offers self-exclusion periods of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended, all marketing is stopped, and you cannot register a new account on the 88bdt platform.
Reality Checks
Enable on-screen reality checks that display a summary of your session — time elapsed, total amount wagered, and net result — at intervals of your choosing (every 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Reality checks help you stay grounded and make conscious, informed decisions during play.
Dedicated Support
Our responsible gaming support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in both English and Bengali, operating on Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6). Whether you want to activate a tool, discuss a concern, or speak confidentially about your gambling habits, our team is here without judgment.
Know the Signs
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes a problem when it stops being entertainment and starts to interfere with your finances, relationships, mental health, or daily responsibilities. At 88bdt, we want every player to be aware of the warning signs so that they can seek help before problems escalate.
Problem gambling does not discriminate — it can affect players of any background, income level, or experience. The Bangladesh market is no exception. Whether you are in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, or Rajshahi, access to responsible gaming support through 88bdt is always available.
Seek Help If You Notice These Patterns
- Gambling with money intended for rent, utilities, food, or family expenses
- Chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to recover previous losses
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Lying to family members or friends about how much you gamble
- Borrowing money — including via bKash or Nagad — specifically to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, studies, or family obligations because of gambling
- Repeatedly failing to stick to spending limits you have set for yourself
- Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, or loneliness
A Note on Honest Self-Reflection
If any of the above patterns sound familiar, the most important step is to acknowledge the concern without shame. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 88bdt's support team is available confidentially at [email protected] and will never penalise you for asking for help.
Self-Assessment
The 88bdt Self-Check Questionnaire
Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team or use one of the responsible gaming tools listed on this page.
Have you ever gambled with more money than you planned to spend before starting a session?
Have you ever felt the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to experience the same level of excitement?
Have you made repeated unsuccessful efforts to cut back on, control, or stop gambling?
Have you gambled as a way of escaping personal problems or relieving feelings of helplessness, guilt, or anxiety?
After losing money gambling, have you returned another day specifically to try to win back your losses?
Have you concealed the extent of your gambling from family members, a partner, or close friends?
Have you ever put important relationships, your job, or educational or career opportunities at risk because of gambling?
Have you relied on others to provide financial help after losing money gambling?
This questionnaire is adapted from established responsible gaming frameworks and is provided for informational purposes only. It is not a clinical diagnosis tool. If you have concerns, please contact [email protected].
Player Tools
Responsible Gaming Tools at a Glance
Every responsible gaming tool on 88bdt is built into your account settings and is free to activate at any time. No waiting periods apply when restricting your activity — only when increasing limits.
Deposit Limit
Cap your daily, weekly, or monthly deposits in BDT. Reductions are instant; increases take 24 hours to activate.
Loss Limit
Set a maximum net loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once reached, your account is temporarily locked for further wagering until the period resets.
Session Limit
Restrict how long you can remain logged in to an active gaming session. The system will prompt you and, if enforced, log you out automatically.
Cool-Off Period
Take a structured break of 1 to 30 days. All gambling is paused, marketing is stopped, and your balance is preserved safely until your return.
Self-Exclusion
Exclude yourself for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Cannot be reversed during the active exclusion period — this is by design for your protection.
Reality Check
Receive pop-up reminders every 15, 30, or 60 minutes showing your current session time and net result, keeping you informed and in control.
Wager Limit
Set a maximum stake per bet or per spin. Useful for players who want to extend their play sessions and manage their bankroll more effectively.
Age Verification
88bdt enforces strict KYC (Know Your Customer) checks on all accounts. Players must verify they are 21 years of age or older before any deposit or wagering activity is permitted.
Step-by-Step Guide
How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools
Activating any responsible gaming tool on 88bdt takes less than five minutes. All tools are accessible directly from your account settings after logging in. You do not need to contact support to set a deposit limit, time-out, or self-exclusion — although our team is always available to guide you if you prefer.
If you are in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or anywhere else in Bangladesh and need immediate assistance, email [email protected]. Our team responds in both English and Bengali, around the clock.
Protective Design Principles
Lowering any limit (deposit, loss, wager, session) or activating a time-out or self-exclusion takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit or removing a time-out requires a mandatory waiting period of at least 24 hours. Self-exclusion periods cannot be shortened once active.
Activation Steps
Follow these steps to set up any responsible gaming tool on your 88bdt account.
Log In to Your Account

Navigate to Account Settings
Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. This is where all player management tools are housed.
Select Responsible Gaming
Within Account Settings, locate the "Responsible Gaming" tab. Here you will find all available tools: deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, reality checks, time-outs, and self-exclusion.
Choose Your Tool and Set Parameters
Select the tool you wish to activate, enter your desired limit or duration, and review the settings carefully before confirming. A summary screen will show you what will change.

Age Restriction Policy
Strictly 21+ — No Exceptions
88bdt operates exclusively as an adult platform. The minimum age for registration, account verification, deposit, and participation in any casino game, slot, sports bet, fishing game, or any other activity on the 88bdt platform is 21 years of age. This requirement applies to all players, regardless of location within Bangladesh.
All new accounts are subject to mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification before any deposit or wagering is permitted. Valid identification documents accepted include the Bangladesh National ID Card, a valid passport, or a government-issued driving licence. The date of birth on the submitted document must confirm the player is 21 years of age or older.
If 88bdt discovers that an underage individual has successfully registered an account, the account will be immediately and permanently suspended, all associated funds will be returned to the original payment source to the extent technically possible, and the matter may be referred to the appropriate authorities. 88bdt takes its underage gambling prevention obligations with the utmost seriousness.
If You Know an Underage Player
If you believe that a person under the age of 21 is using or attempting to use the 88bdt platform, please report this immediately to [email protected]. Include as much detail as possible. All reports are handled confidentially and investigated promptly by our compliance team.
Protecting Young People at Home
If you share a device or household with individuals under the age of 21, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls and ensuring your 88bdt login credentials are not accessible to minors. Always log out of your account after each session, especially on shared devices. Free parental control software is widely available for both Android and iOS devices.
Verified by KYC
Every player on 88bdt has been verified by our KYC process before being granted full account access. Age verification is not optional — it is mandatory for all players on the platform.
External Resources
Where to Get Additional Help
Beyond the tools built into 88bdt, several independent organisations provide free, confidential support for individuals and families affected by problem gambling. We encourage any player who feels gambling is becoming a concern to reach out to these services.

Gamblers Anonymous is an international fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other in order to solve their common problem and help others to do the same. Meetings and resources are available globally.
National Mental Health Helpline
Bangladesh's National Mental Health Helpline provides confidential support and guidance for individuals experiencing mental health challenges, including stress and anxiety related to financial or gambling difficulties.
