Responsible Gaming at 88bdt
We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for all players in Bangladesh. Your well-being always comes first.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At 88bdt, we believe that online gaming and sports betting should be an enjoyable leisure activity, never a source of financial stress or personal hardship. We are proud to serve players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka to Chittagong, from Sylhet to Khulna — and we take our duty of care seriously.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or income level. Recognising the signs early and taking proactive steps makes all the difference. 88bdt provides a range of practical tools designed to help you stay in control of your gaming activity at all times.
Our platform operates under strict SSL encryption and fair-play standards, ensuring every game outcome is genuinely random and transparent. We are here to make sure that your experience on 88bdt remains positive, sustainable, and most importantly, fun.
Responsible Gaming Tools
Understanding Deposit Limits
One of the most effective ways to keep gambling under control is to set strict deposit limits before you begin playing. At 88bdt, you can configure a personal deposit cap that prevents you from depositing more than a chosen amount within a given time frame. This means even on days when excitement runs high during a BPL or T20 World Cup match, your spending stays within the boundary you set for yourself.
You may set limits for the following periods:
- Daily limit — controls your total deposits within a 24-hour window
- Weekly limit — caps cumulative deposits over a 7-day rolling period
- Monthly limit — the broadest cap, ideal for long-term bankroll discipline
To increase a limit, a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period applies so that impulsive decisions cannot override your own self-imposed safety net. Reducing a limit, however, takes effect immediately. Contact our support team at [email protected] to manage your deposit limits.
Time-Out and Cooling-Off Periods
Sometimes a short break is all you need to regain perspective. The 88bdt time-out feature lets you pause your account for a defined period — ranging from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits. Any promotional emails or push notifications will also be suppressed during this period.
We recommend using the time-out feature proactively — not just when things feel out of control. Regular breaks help maintain a healthy relationship with gaming and keep it a fun part of your leisure time rather than a compulsion. After the cooling-off period ends, your account is automatically reactivated and you may resume play at your own discretion.
Self-Exclusion Programme
If you feel that gambling has become a serious issue in your life, self-exclusion is the strongest tool available to you. When you self-exclude from 88bdt, your account is closed and all access to betting, casino games, and deposits is blocked for a minimum period of 6 months, up to a permanent closure if requested. This is a voluntary but binding decision and cannot be reversed during the exclusion window.
To initiate self-exclusion, please contact our support team directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will process your request within 24 hours. We strongly encourage anyone considering self-exclusion to also seek support from a trusted counsellor, family member, or mental health professional.

Healthy Gaming Tips
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide how much you can comfortably afford to lose before you start. Treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment. Never exceed that amount, even if a big BPL match is on.
Use Calendar-Based Limits
Schedule specific days for gaming and designate other days as gaming-free. Balancing gaming with social activities, family time, and hobbies keeps it a healthy pastime.
Never Chase Losses
Accepting a loss and walking away is a sign of discipline, not weakness. Chasing losses often leads to bigger losses and emotional distress. Set a firm stop-loss limit and honour it every session.
Keep Gaming in Perspective
Gaming is one of many leisure activities. Maintain balance with other interests — cricket in the park, family gatherings during Eid or Pohela Boishakh, evening walks along the riverbank. A full life outside gaming makes for a healthier player inside it.
