88bgResponsible Gaming Features at -

We want you to enjoy every moment of play. That's why 88bg offers a range of effective responsible gaming tools.

Deposit Limit Setting

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in BDT. Once a limit is set, it cannot be easily increased — this protects you from overspending.

Session Time Control

Decide in advance how long you'll play. When your time is up, the platform will alert you. Staying aware of time is one of the most important parts of responsible gaming.

Cooling-Off Break

Feeling like you need a break? Take a temporary break from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, you won't be able to play from your account, but your account will remain active.

Self-Exclusion Service

If gaming is having a negative impact on your life, consider self-exclusion. You can have your account fully suspended for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. There is no reason to feel embarrassed about making this decision.

Turn Off Advertisements

You can opt out of all 88bg promotional emails and notifications at any time. This helps reduce gaming temptations and makes it easier to focus on everyday life.

Support & Guidance

Our trained support team is available 24/7. Feel free to talk to us about problem gambling — we'll provide the right support and professional referrals.

Playing at 88bg is entertainment — not a source of income. Follow responsible gaming principles, and reach out to us whenever you need help. Your well-being is always our top priority.

1 What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means playing in a way where you stay in control of the game — not the other way around. At 88bg, responsible gaming means playing for fun, staying within your financial means, and making sure gaming never has a negative impact on your personal or family life.

Online gaming is a legitimate form of entertainment. Like any leisure activity, however, spending too much time or money on it can become a problem. 88bg wants every player to enjoy gaming consciously and in a controlled way.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

  • Treat gaming as entertainment, not a way to earn money
  • Only play with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your life
  • Set a budget and time limit in advance and stick to them
  • Don't chase losses with bigger bets
  • Do not play when stressed or under the influence of alcohol
  • Prioritize family, friends, and work over gaming

All responsible gaming tools on the 88bg platform are completely free and available at any time. We believe it is our duty to make these tools accessible to every player.

2 Signs of Problem Gaming

Problem gaming or gambling addiction develops gradually. It can often be difficult to recognize on your own. If you notice any of the following signs, it is time to pay attention:

Keep in mind: If you notice these signs, seek help immediately. It's not a sign of weakness — recognizing the problem is the first and most courageous step.

  • Spending far more time gaming than originally planned
  • Trying to stop gaming but being unable to
  • Hiding gaming activity from family or friends
  • Borrowing money or cutting back on other expenses to fund gaming

Mental & Physical Symptoms

  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gaming
  • Unusual excitement or low mood during or after gaming
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities
  • Sleep problems or irregular eating habits
  • Relationship strain caused by gaming

4 How to Set Limits

You can set various limits directly from your 88bg account at any time. These limits help you stay in control of your gaming.

Limit Types Description Applicability
Daily Deposit Limit Maximum amount you can deposit per day in BDT Active
Weekly Deposit Limit Maximum total deposit allowed per week Active
Monthly Deposit Limit Maximum total deposit allowed per month Active
Session Time Limit Limit on consecutive play time Active
Betting Limits Maximum bet allowed per game Active
Loss Limit Maximum amount you can lose within a set period Active

Limit-Setting Rules

  • Reducing your limit takes effect immediately
  • Requests to increase your limit are subject to a 7-day waiting period — this helps prevent impulsive decisions
  • Limits can be changed at any time from Account Settings
  • Setting limits is completely confidential — no one else will know

5 Self-Exclusion Process

Self-Exclusion is a feature that lets you completely block yourself from gaming on 88bg for a set period of time. It is a powerful tool for breaking free from problem gambling.

Self-Exclusion Steps

1
Contact Support Team

Let our Responsible Gaming team know via live chat or email that you would like to self-exclude.

2
Choose a Duration

Choose from 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent exclusion — pick the option that best fits your situation.

3
Identity Verification

Your identity will be verified for security purposes and your request will be processed.

4
Exclusion will take effect

Your account will be deactivated within 24 hours and you will not be able to play any games until the set period expires.

Important: Your account cannot be reactivated before the self-exclusion period ends. This rule exists solely to protect you.

6 For Family & Loved Ones

Sometimes a family member or close friend can see that someone has a gaming problem before the person themselves can — or they may see it but refuse to admit it. In these situations, the role of family is absolutely crucial.

How to Help a Loved One

  • Calmly and without anger, share your concerns
  • Show empathy rather than judgment — addiction is a health issue
  • Encourage alternative forms of entertainment instead of gaming
  • Recommend seeking professional help when needed
  • Offer financial support but do not provide money for gaming
  • Seek emotional support for yourself too — a loved one's addiction affects you as well

The 88bg support team is also here to help family members. If you believe someone's account is being misused, contact us — we'll do everything we can to assist.

  • Keep your login credentials completely separate from your children
  • If you suspect a child is using 88bg, let us know immediately

Frequently Asked Questions

No, all Responsible Gaming tools at 88bg — deposit limits, session time limits, cooling-off breaks, and self-exclusion — are completely free. Using them will never result in any charges to your account.

Yes. Your account balance is fully protected during self-exclusion. Once the exclusion period ends, you will be able to withdraw those funds. No money will be deducted during the self-exclusion period.

Reducing your limit takes effect immediately. However, requests to increase your limit are subject to a 7-day cooling-off period — your existing limit remains in place during this time. This is designed to prevent impulsive decisions.

No, self-exclusion can only be requested by the account holder. However, if you believe a family member is struggling, please reach out to our support team — we will offer every possible assistance and guide you through the right steps.

A cooling-off break is a short-term pause (24 hours to 6 weeks) — after which your account is reactivated automatically. Self-exclusion is long-term (6 months to permanent) and your account cannot be reopened before the period ends. For serious issues, self-exclusion is the more effective option.

No, using Responsible Gaming tools will not negatively affect your bonuses or promotions. That said, if you turn off promotional notifications, you will naturally receive fewer updates about new offers — that is entirely your choice.
