Responsible Gaming
at 88bt
At 88bt, we believe that betting and casino games should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress, debt, or harm. This page explains the tools, resources, and commitments we have put in place to help every player in Bangladesh make informed, controlled, and healthy choices when using our platform.
Gaming That Stays in Its Lane
88bt is Bangladesh's trusted betting and casino platform, and with that trust comes a clear obligation: to ensure that the experience we provide remains enjoyable, transparent, and sustainable for every player. Responsible gaming is not a box-ticking exercise for us — it is a core part of how we run the platform day to day.
We recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can shift from an entertaining pastime into something more harmful. Problem gambling affects individuals and families across all walks of life. The tools and resources described on this page are here to give every 88bt player the means to stay in control, and to make it straightforward to seek help if that control begins to slip.
Every adult player aged 21 and above who registers an account on 88bt agrees to our Terms & Conditions, which include our responsible gaming obligations. By using the platform, you confirm that you are gambling with money you can afford to lose, that you are not doing so to recover financial losses, and that gambling does not interfere with your daily responsibilities, relationships, or wellbeing.
Important: Gambling should always be treated as entertainment, not as a reliable source of income. Every game outcome on 88bt — whether slots, live casino, crash games, or sports betting — involves chance. Past results never guarantee future outcomes.
Need to Talk to Someone?
If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem for you or someone close to you, our support team is available around the clock. You do not need to wait until things become serious — reaching out early is always the right move.
Contact us via live chat inside your account dashboard, or email us directly:
Response time: within 2 hours during BST business hours. Live chat responses are immediate during staffed hours.
Tools to Keep You in Control
88bt provides a range of practical tools that players can activate directly through their account dashboard or by contacting our support team. These tools are free to use and can be adjusted or activated at any time.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the total amount you deposit into your 88bt account. Once your chosen limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately; increases take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Define a maximum session duration after which you will be automatically logged out of the platform. Session limits help prevent the kind of extended, unplanned play sessions that can be a sign of losing control. You can set session reminders at custom intervals as well.
Request a short-term break from the platform ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account remains active but you are blocked from placing bets or making deposits. This is ideal when you feel you need a brief reset without permanently closing your account.
If you believe your gambling is becoming a serious problem, self-exclusion allows you to block access to your 88bt account for an extended period — from 3 months up to 5 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion is irreversible for its chosen duration and cannot be lifted early, even on request.
Set a cap on the net losses you are willing to accept over a defined period. When your loss limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and prevented from placing further bets until the limit period resets. Loss limits work alongside deposit limits for comprehensive budget control.
Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the current session. Reality checks appear as non-intrusive notifications at intervals you choose — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — so you always have an accurate picture of your activity.
Strictly 21+ — No Exceptions
88bt enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years for all registered players. Age verification is a mandatory step in the registration process, and we reserve the right to request documentary proof of age — such as a National ID card or passport — at any point during a player's account lifetime.
Any account found to belong to a player under the age of 21 will be permanently closed without notice. Any funds held in such an account will be handled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions. 88bt does not tolerate underage gambling in any form.
If you are a parent or guardian and you suspect that a person under the age of 21 in your household is accessing the 88bt platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take swift action to close the account.
Parental Controls Tip: We strongly recommend that adults who share devices with minors use device-level parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites. Keeping your 88bt login credentials private is an important first line of defence.
All new players must complete identity verification using a government-issued ID (National ID card or passport) before making a withdrawal. Age confirmation is cross-checked at this stage.
Our fraud and compliance team monitors accounts for age-related red flags. Any account where age verification cannot be conclusively confirmed is suspended pending document review.
Never share your 88bt username or password with anyone, including younger family members. If you believe your account has been accessed by a minor, contact our support team immediately via live chat.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond harmless entertainment. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team or activate a self-exclusion.
Chasing losses: Continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money you have already lost, even when you intended to stop.
Gambling with money you cannot afford: Using funds earmarked for rent, bills, food, or family expenses to place bets.
Lying about gambling activity: Hiding the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.
Unable to set limits: Repeatedly failing to stick to the spending or time limits you set for yourself before starting a session.
Gambling to escape problems: Using betting or casino games as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, boredom, loneliness, or emotional distress.
Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work commitments, family obligations, or social engagements because of time spent gambling.
Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit to fund gambling activity.
Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling: Experiencing mood changes, anxiety, or an inability to relax when away from the platform for a period of time.
A Quick Honest Check-In
Read through the statements below and consider how many apply to your current relationship with gambling. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a private, informal prompt for honest self-reflection. If three or more of these statements ring true, we encourage you to speak with our support team.
I have spent more money gambling in the past month than I originally planned to.
I have felt the urge to bet more in order to experience the same level of excitement I used to get from smaller bets.
I have tried to cut back on my gambling and found it difficult or impossible to do so.
Gambling has caused me to argue with family members or a partner about money or time spent on the platform.
I have borrowed money or sold possessions in order to fund gambling activity.
I think about gambling when I should be concentrating on work, study, or family.
I feel guilty, ashamed, or stressed after a gambling session, but I return to the platform anyway.
I have used gambling as a way to cope with a difficult period in my life rather than as entertainment.
I have deposited funds via bKash, Nagad, or Rocket that I knew I could not afford to lose.
After losing, I have felt a strong compulsion to deposit again immediately and try to win the money back.
What to do next: If three or more of the above statements apply to you, we recommend activating a cooling-off period or self-exclusion through your 88bt account dashboard, or contacting our support team directly at [email protected]. Taking action early is always easier than waiting until the problem becomes more serious.
Practical Guidelines for Healthy Gambling
Whether you are a new player or a long-standing 88bt member, these practical guidelines will help you maintain a healthy and enjoyable relationship with online betting and casino games.
Decide on a fixed amount — in Bangladeshi Taka — that you are comfortable losing entirely before you begin any session. Treat this as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment. Never exceed your pre-set budget, regardless of results.
Decide in advance how long each session will last and stick to that limit. Use 88bt's session time limit tool to enforce this automatically. Avoid the mindset of "one more game" — it is the most common path to extended, unplanned sessions.
If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or low, take a break from the platform entirely. Gambling is not a healthy coping mechanism for difficult emotions or life circumstances. Return to the platform only when you are in a relaxed, clear-headed state.
Check your account's transaction history and betting records periodically to get an honest view of your activity over the past 30 days. If the numbers surprise you, it may be time to set tighter limits or take a break using our cooling-off tool.
You Are Never Alone
Recognising that gambling has become a problem is a significant and courageous step. If you have reached that point, 88bt's support team is ready to help you immediately — whether that means activating a self-exclusion, closing your account permanently, or simply talking through the options available to you.
We understand that discussing problem gambling can feel uncomfortable. Our support agents handle all such conversations with complete discretion, without judgement, and in strict confidence. Your wellbeing matters far more to us than your account activity.
To activate any responsible gaming tool described on this page — deposit limits, session limits, cooling-off period, loss limits, reality checks, or self-exclusion — contact our team via live chat inside your account dashboard or email us at [email protected]. Requests to activate self-exclusion are processed immediately and cannot be reversed for the duration chosen.
Players in Bangladesh who need support beyond what 88bt provides are encouraged to speak with a trusted family member, a GP or mental health professional, or a local counselling service. Taking the first step toward help, however small, is what matters most.
