Responsible Gaming
at 88be
88be is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent betting environment for every player in Bangladesh. We believe that gaming should be entertaining — and we provide the tools, guidance, and support to help you keep it that way.
Built-In Controls to Keep You in Charge
Every 88be account comes with a set of powerful, easy-to-use responsible gaming features. You can activate any of these controls instantly from your account dashboard — no waiting, no forms, no delays.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in BDT directly from your account settings. Once a limit is active, 88be will automatically decline any deposit attempt that exceeds it. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and any request to increase a limit is subject to a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period before taking effect.
Session Time Limits
Define how long you want each gaming session to last. When your chosen session time is reached, 88be will display a clear on-screen notification and, if you choose, will log you out automatically. Session limit settings are adjustable at any time, and reductions take effect immediately.
Time-Out (Cool-Down)
Need a short break? Activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account will be temporarily suspended — you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. All active balances are safely retained and will be accessible when your time-out expires.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is causing serious harm, you can request a full self-exclusion from 88be for a minimum period of 6 months or permanently. Self-exclusion blocks all access to your account and prevents re-registration. To request self-exclusion, contact [email protected] — our team will action your request within 24 hours.
Loss Limits
Set a cap on how much you are willing to lose in a given time period. 88be's loss limit tool monitors your net wagering activity and will suspend further betting once your set threshold is reached for the day, week, or month. Like deposit limits, increases to loss limits require a 72-hour cooling-off period.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic reality check notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the current session. Reality checks appear as non-intrusive pop-up messages at intervals you define — from every 15 minutes to every 2 hours — keeping you informed and in control throughout each session.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Responsible gaming starts with self-awareness. The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is beginning to have a negative impact on your life or the life of someone you know. If any of these feel familiar, please reach out to 88be support or one of the organisations listed below.
Chasing Losses
Placing increasingly large bets in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost — often leading to a cycle of escalating losses and mounting financial pressure.
Secretive Behaviour
Hiding the extent of your gambling from family members, lying about how much time or money is being spent on betting, or feeling shame and guilt after a session.
Financial Strain
Using money reserved for essential expenses — rent, groceries, utility bills, or family obligations — to fund gambling activity, or borrowing money specifically to bet.
Loss of Time Awareness
Spending far longer gambling than originally intended, losing track of time during sessions, or prioritising gaming time over work, family, social commitments, or sleep.
Emotional Dependency
Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or boredom — using betting as an emotional outlet rather than pure entertainment, which can accelerate harm.
Inability to Stop
Feeling unable to reduce, pause, or stop gambling despite wanting to — continuing to bet even when it is clearly causing problems in your personal, professional, or financial life.
Is Your Gambling Still Under Control?
Answering the questions below honestly — just for yourself — can help you reflect on your current relationship with gambling. There are no right or wrong answers; this is purely a personal reflection tool.
The 88be self-assessment is adapted from internationally recognised problem gambling screening frameworks used by organisations around the world. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace professional advice — but it can serve as a useful starting point if you are unsure whether your gambling habits are still within a healthy range.
If you answer "yes" to three or more of the questions in the self-assessment panel, we strongly encourage you to take a break using one of the responsible gaming tools described above, and to reach out to 88be support or a dedicated gambling support service for a confidential conversation.
Remember: There is no shame in asking for help. Recognising a problem early is the most powerful step a player can take. 88be's support team is available 24/7 and will always treat your situation with complete discretion and without judgment.
Personal Reflection Checklist
Have you spent more money on gambling than you planned to in the past 30 days?
Have you gambled to try to recover money you had already lost?
Have you felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you were not able to gamble?
Have you hidden your gambling activity or the amount you have spent from family or friends?
Has gambling caused you to miss work, family events, or other important responsibilities?
Have you borrowed money or sold personal items to fund gambling?
Have you tried to cut down on your gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
Understanding Responsible Gaming at 88be
88be is built for entertainment. Whether you are following the Bangladesh Tigers in a T20 World Cup match, spinning reels in a Pragmatic Play slot, or joining an Evolution Gaming live casino table, our platform is designed to deliver an enjoyable and fair experience. Responsible gaming is the framework that ensures that entertainment remains exactly that — recreational and within your personal boundaries.
Responsible gaming at 88be means giving every player complete visibility over their account activity, the tools to set meaningful limits, and the support to act if something feels wrong. It also means being honest: not every player will always gamble within healthy boundaries, and 88be takes that reality seriously rather than ignoring it.
Deposit Limits in Detail
Deposit limits are the most commonly used responsible gaming tool at 88be and one of the most effective ways to keep gambling affordable and within budget. When you set a deposit limit, you are instructing 88be to cap the total amount you can deposit within a defined rolling time window — daily (24 hours), weekly (7 days), or monthly (30 days).
Deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard, Dutch-Bangla Bank, and BRAC Bank are all counted toward your limit in BDT. If a deposit attempt would cause your total for the period to exceed your set limit, the transaction will be declined automatically — regardless of which payment method you use. You will receive a clear notification explaining why the deposit was not processed.
Cooling-Off Period: Any request to increase an existing deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 72-hour waiting period before the increase takes effect. This cooling-off period is a deliberate protective measure — it gives you time to reconsider before a higher limit becomes active. Reducing a limit, by contrast, takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed for 72 hours.
Self-Exclusion — A Serious and Supported Step
Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available to 88be players who feel that gambling has become, or is becoming, a problem. When you self-exclude, your account is fully blocked — you cannot log in, deposit, bet, or access any part of the 88be platform for the duration of the exclusion period.
Self-exclusion periods at 88be start at a minimum of 6 months and can be set for 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanently. During the exclusion period, 88be will also suppress all promotional communications to your registered email and phone number — you will not receive bonus offers, betting promotions, or any marketing material from us.
To re-apply for access after a minimum 6-month exclusion, you must contact 88be support directly and submit a formal reinstatement request. The reinstatement process includes a mandatory review conversation with a member of the 88be responsible gaming team. Permanent self-exclusions cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
- Exclusion activates within 24 hours of your verified request
- All promotional communications are suppressed during exclusion
- Your account balance is held safely and returned upon verified reinstatement
- Minimum exclusion period is 6 months — no early reinstatement is possible
- To request self-exclusion, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request"
Tips for Keeping Gambling Enjoyable
The majority of 88be players enjoy betting responsibly as part of their regular entertainment alongside cricket, football, and kabaddi seasons. The following practical tips can help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling over the long term:
- Set a budget before you start each session and treat it as the cost of entertainment — not as an investment you expect to recover
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose — rent, food, utility bills, and family expenses always come first
- Take regular breaks during sessions; use the reality check feature to stay aware of how much time has passed
- Avoid gambling when you are upset, stressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol — these states impair judgement and can lead to decisions you regret
- Keep gambling as one part of a balanced social life — maintain hobbies, friendships, and family time outside of the platform
- Review your account statement regularly so you have an accurate picture of your real net spend over time
- Use the 88be session history feature to track how long you have been playing across the week or month
Protecting Others in Your Household
If you share a device with other people in your home — particularly younger family members — it is important to take steps to prevent unintended access to gambling sites. 88be strongly recommends the use of parental control and content filtering software on shared devices. Many internet service providers in Bangladesh also offer household-level content filtering that can restrict access to gambling-related websites across all devices on your network.
Never share your 88be login credentials with anyone. Your account is personal and should only ever be accessed by you. If you have reason to believe that someone else has accessed your account without your permission, contact 88be support at [email protected] immediately so we can secure your account and investigate.
