Not for those under 18

1. What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means betting or playing in a way where you remain fully in control — of your time, your money, and your emotions. 88afb believes entertainment stays healthy only when it does not interfere with the other responsibilities in your life.

Millions of people across Bangladesh enjoy online gaming every day, and for the vast majority it is simply a form of entertainment. However, in some cases a lack of awareness or excessive engagement can lead to situations that become harmful. That is exactly why 88afb has built its platform with responsible gaming at the core.

Our goal is not just to give you a place to play, but to ensure that when you do play, it remains a positive part of your life. 88afb's responsible gaming policy is built with exactly that in mind.

What Does Responsible Gaming Look Like?

  • Playing within a set budget and sticking to it
  • Avoid placing more bets just to recover money you've already lost
  • Putting family, work, or studies before gaming
  • Not using gaming as an escape from stress or sadness
  • Being honest with yourself about how much you are playing

Please note: 88afb is for gaming entertainment. Do not treat it as a source of income. In the long run, the house always has the edge.

2. Signs of Problematic Gaming

Gaming addiction does not happen overnight. It builds gradually through small, subtle changes. If the signs below appear, it is time to pay attention. Whether you notice them in yourself or someone you know, do not wait — seek help.

Spending beyond your budget and being unable to control it
You keep playing to win back lost money, but end up losing even more
Lying to family or friends about your gaming
Prioritizing gaming over work, family, or studies
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to game
Continuing to gamble using borrowed or loaned money
Using gaming to cope with stress, loneliness, or feelings of depression
Tried to quit but couldn't

If These Signs Appear, please contact 88afb Support or set account limits on your own. We are always ready to help.

3. 88afb's Protection Tools

88afb offers a range of protective tools on the platform that you can use at any time to help keep your gaming in check.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit limit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once set, any reduction takes effect immediately.

Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how long you play in one session. Once the time is up, you will automatically receive a reminder.

Reality Check

You will receive automatic reminders at regular intervals — summarizing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a break from gaming for a while. You can temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently close your account for the long term. Stay away from gaming for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years.

Gaming History

View your full gaming history at any time — including time spent, amount wagered in BDT, and a breakdown by game.

4. How to Set Your Limits

Setting limits on your 88afb account is simple. Head to the "Responsible Gaming" section in Account Settings to find all the tools in one place. The different limit types and when they take effect are listed below.

Limit Type Reduction Active Increase Takes Effect Status
Daily Deposit Limit Immediate After 24 hours Active
Weekly Deposit Limit Immediate After 7 days Active
Monthly Deposit Limit Immediate After 30 days Active
Session Time Limit Next Session After 24 hours Optional
Cooling-Off Period Immediate After Expiry Optional
Self-Exclusion Immediate Not Before Expiry Permanent Duration

Reducing a limit always takes effect immediately, but increasing one involves a waiting period — this is in place for your own protection.

5. Self-Exclusion — When You Need a Break

Self-exclusion is the most powerful protection tool available. Once activated, you will be unable to log in to 88afb or place any bets for the specified period. No marketing messages will be sent to you during this time.

After logging in, click the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Settings".

Responsible Gaming Section

6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years — choose the duration that works best for you.

4

Confirm

Verify your identity to activate. Once active, it cannot be cancelled before the period expires.

Notify Support

You can also activate self-exclusion by contacting the support team directly. They are available 24 hours a day to help.

Any balance in your account during the self-exclusion period remains safe and can be withdrawn once the period ends.

6. Tips for Building Healthy Gaming Habits

Awareness is the foundation of responsible gaming. Following the habits below will keep gaming enjoyable and help you avoid problems down the line.

Set a Monthly Budget
Decide in advance how much you will spend on gaming each month and never exceed that limit.

Respect Your Time Limits
Avoid playing for long stretches without a break. Step away for at least 10 to 15 minutes every hour.

Keep the Right Mindset
Don't chase losses with bigger bets out of anger or frustration. Keep a clear head before making any decisions.

Tell a Family Member
Letting someone you trust know about your gaming habits creates a sense of accountability.

Avoid Playing Late at Night
Making sound decisions when tired or drowsy is difficult. Play when your mind is fresh.

Not While Intoxicated
Avoid gaming entirely after consuming alcohol or any intoxicating substance.

7. Protection for Minors

88afb is strictly for users aged 18 and above. Keeping minors away from gaming is one of our top priorities. Age is verified at registration, and ID may be requested in any case where there is doubt.

Advice for Parents
