🛡️ Safe Gaming

88bd's commitment to responsible play

Play for fun, not under pressure — 88bd is committed to keeping you healthy and safe.

For players aged 21 and above only

Why do we believe in responsible gaming?

Online betting and casino games are a form of entertainment — much like watching a film or going to a cricket match. But when it becomes a habit and starts affecting your daily life, your family, or your financial security, it is time to be careful. 88bd believes every player should play consciously, within their means, and entirely by their own choice.

The tools available on our platform — deposit limits, time-out, self-exclusion — are not there just to meet regulations; they are built for your wellbeing. 88bd has one goal: whenever you come to our platform, you leave with a positive and safe experience.

Remember, there is no guarantee of winning. Every bet is an independent event and the outcome is completely uncertain. So only play with money that, if lost, will have no impact on your daily life.

Recognise the signs of problem gambling

If any of the following apply to your life, it may be time to pause. This is not a sign of weakness — having the honesty to face the truth about yourself is the smart thing to do.

Warning signs

  • Placing increasingly larger bets to try to recover money you have lost
  • Borrowing money from family or friends for betting, or hiding your spending
  • Feeling uncomfortable, anxious, or irritable when you are not playing
  • Prioritising playing over work, studies, or family
  • Using money meant for essential expenses (rent, electricity, food) for betting
  • Unable to stick to limits you set for yourself

If you notice these signs, contact the 88bd support team right away or talk to someone you trust.

How to use the protection tools

1

Log in to your account

Go to your account on 88bd and navigate to your profile settings. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" option there.

2

Choose the right tool

Deposit limit, time-out, or self-exclusion — pick the tool that suits your situation. You can also use more than one tool at the same time.

3

Set your limit or time period

Enter the amount or duration you prefer and confirm. A short cooling-off period may be required before the change takes effect — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions from being reversed.

The core principles of responsible play

At 88bd, we want every player to play freely, within a set budget, and with complete peace of mind. To help with that, we recommend following a few core principles:

  • Set your budget first: Before you start, decide the maximum amount you will spend today. Stop when you reach that limit.
  • Set a time limit: Decide in advance how long you will play. Use a timer or alarm.
  • Do not bet on impulse: Avoid playing when you are angry, frustrated, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Do not chase losses: "Just one more and I'll win it back" — that thinking is the biggest trap.
  • Do not treat playing as a source of income: Online betting is entertainment, not a profession.
  • Take breaks: Regular breaks keep your mind fresh and help you make better decisions.
  • Follow the 21+ age rule: Only players aged 21 and above can register on 88bd.

Following these principles will keep playing an enjoyable experience every time. 88bd is with you — in good times and in difficult ones.

Protecting minors

88bd strictly enforces a 21+ age rule. Age is verified at registration and further proof may be requested in cases of doubt. We believe every family member should be aware of this.

If there is a minor in your household who uses the internet, the following steps are recommended:

  • Use parental control software on your devices.
  • Keep your login details and password completely private.
  • Log out of your account after you finish playing.
  • Have an open conversation with children about the risks of online betting.

If you suspect a minor is using 88bd, notify us immediately at [email protected].

Common FAQs

Once you set a deposit limit, it takes effect immediately. For example, if you set a daily limit of ৳500, you will not be able to deposit more than ৳500 in total that day. If you request an increase, it will take effect after a cooling-off period, but a decrease takes effect right away.

Yes. When you activate self-exclusion, any remaining balance in your account can still be withdrawn. Contact the support team to process your withdrawal and they will help you complete it.

Time-out is a short-term break — typically from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. After that period your account is reactivated automatically. Self-exclusion is longer-term and more serious — once selected, your account cannot be reactivated before the set period ends.

Contact 88bd's 24/7 live chat or email us at [email protected]. Our team will assist you in Bengali. It is also very important to talk to a family member or trusted friend and to seek help from a professional counsellor.

No, never. 88bd strictly enforces a 21+ age rule. Age is verified at registration and additional proof may be requested if needed. If a minor's account is identified, it is closed immediately and the balance is returned.

You can set how often you want to see a reality check notice. At the interval you choose, a pop-up will show you how long you have been playing and the total amount you have wagered. You can then decide whether to continue playing or stop.
