Responsible Gaming at 88eb — Your Safety Is Our Priority
88eb believes that betting and casino games should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of harm. We provide a full suite of responsible gaming tools, honest guidance on recognising problem gambling, and a dedicated support team available 24/7 to every player across Bangladesh.
Six Ways 88eb Supports Responsible Play
These are the core responsible gaming commitments that every player on the 88eb platform can rely on — built into the platform from day one.
Strict 21+ Age Verification
Every new account on 88eb undergoes mandatory age verification before any betting or gaming activity is permitted. Players must be 21 years or older. We use identity documents including National ID (NID) to confirm eligibility, and any account found to belong to an underage individual is closed immediately.
Personalised Deposit Limits
Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from their account settings. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased for a mandatory cooling-off period of 24 hours, helping prevent impulsive overspending. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately.
Session Time Limits and Reminders
You can configure session time reminders that notify you when you have been playing for a set duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom interval. When the reminder triggers, you are shown a clear summary of your current session activity before you choose to continue or stop.
Cooling-Off and Time-Out Periods
If you need a short break, 88eb offers cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is suspended from all betting and gaming activity. Deposits are blocked and no promotional communications will be sent to you while the cooling-off period is active.
Self-Exclusion Programme
For players who need a longer break, 88eb offers self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is irreversible for the chosen duration, and any attempt to open a new account during an active exclusion will result in immediate closure of that account.
24/7 Dedicated Support
Our responsible gaming support team is available every day of the year, around the clock. Players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and all cities across Bangladesh can reach us in English via email at [email protected]. All responsible gaming requests are handled with full confidentiality.
How to Use Your Responsible Gaming Tools
All tools are accessible from your account settings panel once you are logged in. Here is a brief guide to each available control.
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Limits apply across all payment methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay.
Instant EffectSession Reminder
Receive an on-screen notification after a set amount of play time. Choose from preset intervals or enter a custom duration. Reminders are non-intrusive and easy to dismiss — or use as your prompt to log out.
CustomisableCooling-Off Period
Take a short break of 24 hours to 30 days. Your account is fully paused — no bets, no deposits, no promotional emails. When the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated.
Auto-ReactivatesSelf-Exclusion
Request a long-term exclusion from all 88eb services. Once confirmed, the exclusion is binding for the full chosen duration. Contact [email protected] to initiate a self-exclusion or to enquire about the process.
Binding DurationCould Gambling Be Becoming a Problem?
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The questions below are based on internationally recognised problem gambling screening tools. They are for personal reflection only — not a clinical diagnosis. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, we strongly encourage you to speak with our support team or seek professional help.
- Do you find yourself spending more money on gambling than you originally intended when you started a session?
- Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult to do so?
- Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to gamble?
- Have you gambled to escape problems, stress, or feelings of anxiety or depression?
- Have you lied to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling?
- Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or relied on others financially because of gambling losses?
- Do you often return to gambling shortly after a loss in an attempt to win back what you lost ("chasing losses")?
- Has gambling caused problems in your personal relationships, work performance, or academic responsibilities?
- Do you think about gambling frequently throughout the day, even when you are not actively playing?
- Do you need to gamble with increasingly large amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement?
88eb's Responsible Gaming Policies in Detail
The 88eb platform is strictly for individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This requirement applies universally to all players in Bangladesh, regardless of the game type, the amount being wagered, or the payment method used. We take underage gambling extremely seriously because the evidence is clear that exposure to gambling at a young age significantly increases the lifetime risk of developing gambling-related harm.
All new accounts must complete identity verification before any deposit or bet is accepted. Accepted verification documents include the Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate combined with an additional identity document. Where documents cannot be verified digitally, our support team will guide you through an alternative verification process via email.
If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a person under the age of 21 in your household has accessed or may access the 88eb platform, please contact us at [email protected] immediately. We recommend using parental control software on shared devices to block access to gambling websites. Tools like Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in Android/iOS screen-time controls are all effective for this purpose.
88eb provides a tiered financial control system that puts you in charge of your spending. Deposit limits can be set at three intervals: daily (maximum spend per calendar day), weekly (Monday to Sunday), and monthly (calendar month). All limits apply across every payment method linked to your account — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and any linked bank account from institutions such as Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, City Bank, Islami Bank, or Sonali Bank.
Limits operate as hard caps: once you have reached your limit, further deposit attempts will be declined automatically until the period resets. If you wish to lower your limit, the reduction takes effect immediately. If you wish to raise a limit, a mandatory 24-hour waiting period applies before the increase becomes active — this cooling-off window is intentional and helps prevent decisions made in the heat of a session from leading to unplanned overspending.
We strongly recommend setting a deposit limit that reflects your genuine discretionary entertainment budget — an amount you would be comfortable losing entirely, as all gambling involves the risk of loss. A widely cited guideline is to treat gambling as you would any other entertainment expense: set a fixed budget, stick to it, and never chase losses by depositing additional funds.
Loss limits are also available as an additional control layer. A loss limit prevents you from losing more than a specified amount within a chosen time period, regardless of how many deposits you make. When your loss limit is reached, betting and gaming activity is paused automatically for the remainder of that period.
88eb actively promotes the following principles to all players on the platform. We include these reminders in periodic account communications and in the platform interface:
- Gambling is entertainment, not income. Never treat gambling as a way to make money or to solve financial difficulties. The house edge means that, over time, the platform always has a statistical advantage. Play for enjoyment, not financial gain.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Before depositing, ask yourself whether losing the full amount would cause you financial stress. If the answer is yes, do not deposit that amount.
- Set a budget before every session. Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start playing, and commit to stopping when you reach that amount — regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
- Never chase losses. Trying to recover a loss by placing larger bets or depositing additional funds is one of the most common pathways into problem gambling. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment and log out when your budget is spent.
- Balance gambling with other activities. Gambling should be one leisure activity among many — not a primary social outlet or daily habit. If you find yourself cancelling other plans to gamble, that is a warning sign.
- Take regular breaks. Use the session time reminder feature and take breaks during every gambling session. Stepping away from the screen allows you to reassess your spending and emotional state objectively.
- Do not gamble under the influence. Alcohol and other substances impair judgement and risk assessment. Avoid gambling when your decision-making capacity is reduced.
- Keep track of your spending. Review your transaction history regularly in your account settings. Awareness of how much you are spending is the first step in managing it effectively.
88eb uses an internal responsible gaming monitoring system that analyses aggregated gameplay data for patterns associated with problem gambling. These include: unusually rapid increases in deposit frequency or amount, extended continuous session durations, a significant increase in the frequency of loss-chasing behaviour, and repeated use of the maximum deposit limit across consecutive periods.
When the monitoring system flags a player account as potentially at risk, a member of our responsible gaming team will review the account and may reach out proactively to the player via their registered contact details. This outreach is not punitive — it is an offer of support, and participation is voluntary. However, 88eb reserves the right to apply protective restrictions to an account where we have genuine concern for a player's welfare, even without a formal request from the player, in line with our duty of care obligations.
All monitoring data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is used exclusively for responsible gaming and fraud prevention purposes. It is never shared with third parties for marketing or profiling purposes.
