Responsible Gaming
at 88nb — Your Safety First
88nb is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for every player across Bangladesh. We believe gambling should always be enjoyable entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. Our responsible gaming framework gives you the tools, knowledge, and support to stay in control at every step.
Playing Safe Is Always the Priority
At 88nb, responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox — it is a fundamental part of how we operate. Every feature, policy, and tool on this page exists to ensure that your experience on our platform remains positive, balanced, and fully within your control.
Player Protection First
88nb's responsible gaming framework is designed around the player. Every tool — from deposit limits to self-exclusion — is free to activate, takes effect immediately, and requires no approval period. Your safety is never delayed by administrative processes.
Deposit & Spend Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly from your account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a mandatory cooling-off period of 24 hours, ensuring impulsive decisions do not override your plan.
Time-Out & Session Limits
Activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications. Session reminders can also be set to alert you after a defined period of continuous play.
Self-Exclusion Programme
If you feel gambling is becoming difficult to control, our self-exclusion tool allows you to voluntarily exclude yourself from the platform for a minimum period of 6 months up to a permanent lifetime ban. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the elected period.
Reality Checks
88nb can send you periodic pop-up notifications during your gaming sessions showing how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session. These reality checks are designed to encourage mindful gambling and prevent players from losing track of time.
24/7 Confidential Support
Our responsible gaming support team is available around the clock, every day of the year. Conversations are treated with complete confidentiality. Whether you need guidance activating a limit or want to speak to someone about your gambling habits, we are always here.

Always available in your accountRecognising Problem Gambling Early
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following warning signs — commonly identified by gambling counsellors and mental health professionals — may indicate that gambling is beginning to affect your wellbeing.
How Is Your Relationship With Gambling?
The following self-assessment questions are adapted from widely used screening tools developed by gambling health professionals. They are not a clinical diagnosis, but they can help you reflect honestly on your gambling habits and whether they might be causing harm in your life.
Answer each question honestly, thinking about your gambling behaviour over the past twelve months. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team or consider activating a self-exclusion.
This self-assessment is entirely confidential and is not recorded or monitored by 88nb. It is provided purely as an educational tool to support player wellbeing.
Have you ever had to gamble with increasing amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction?
Have you ever returned to gambling another day in order to try to win back money that you had previously lost?
Have you ever lied to a family member or close friend to conceal the extent of your gambling activity or the amount of money you have spent?
Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you tried to reduce the amount you gamble or tried to stop altogether?
Has gambling ever caused a significant problem in your personal relationships, your work or studies, or your financial situation?
Have you ever gambled as a way to escape from stress, worry, depression, or other negative emotions?
Have you ever borrowed money from someone or sold something you owned in order to fund your gambling?
Have you ever made repeated attempts to control, cut back, or completely stop gambling, and found that you were unable to do so?
Protecting Minors — 21+ Policy
88nb operates a strict 21+ age policy. All players must be at least 21 years of age to register an account, make a deposit, or participate in any game or betting market on this platform. This is a fundamental condition of the Player Agreement and is non-negotiable.
At registration, players are required to confirm that they meet the age requirement. 88nb reserves the right to request documentary proof of age at any point in the account lifecycle — including during account opening, before processing a first withdrawal, or if our systems flag a potential age concern. Acceptable documents include a valid National Identity Card (NID), passport, or any government-issued document showing the player's date of birth.
If verification documents are not provided within the required timeframe, or if the documents provided indicate that the player is under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended, all pending withdrawals will be cancelled, and any deposits will be returned to the original payment method where technically feasible.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor in your household has accessed or registered on the 88nb platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with the subject line "Minor Account Report". We will investigate and respond within 48 hours.
Parental Controls & Home Safety Tips
If you share a device or household with individuals under the age of 21, we recommend taking the following steps to prevent unauthorised access to gambling websites:
- Enable parental control software on shared devices (e.g., Net Nanny, Qustodio, or the built-in parental controls available on Android, iOS, and Windows)
- Never save your 88nb login credentials in a shared browser or device
- Always log out of your 88nb account fully after each session
- Use a strong, unique password for your 88nb account and do not share it with anyone
- Enable two-factor authentication on your account for an additional layer of security
- Talk openly with young people in your household about the risks of gambling and the reasons the 21+ age restriction exists
88nb supports the use of third-party parental control and content-filtering tools. These are independent services and 88nb does not endorse any specific product — but we encourage any parent or guardian to explore them as part of a home internet safety strategy.
Principles of Responsible Gambling
Whether you are a casual player enjoying a few rounds of slots after a long day in Dhaka, or a regular cricket bettor following the BPL season, these principles will help you keep gambling in a healthy perspective.
Only Gamble What You Can Afford to Lose
Before depositing, decide on a fixed entertainment budget — an amount you are genuinely comfortable losing entirely. Never deposit rent money, grocery money, or funds set aside for bills. Treat your gambling budget the same way you would treat money spent on a cinema ticket or a restaurant meal: once it is spent, it is gone.
Set Time Limits Before You Start
Decide in advance how long you will play in a given session. Set a timer on your phone or use 88nb's built-in session limit tool. When the time is up, stop — regardless of whether you are winning or losing. Chasing a win or trying to recover a loss by extending a session is one of the most common paths to problem gambling.
Gamble for Fun, Not for Income
Casino games and sports betting are entertainment products with a built-in house edge. They are not reliable income sources, investment strategies, or ways to solve financial problems. If you find yourself thinking of gambling primarily as a way to make money, this is an important warning sign that deserves attention.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen regularly during gaming sessions. Take a walk, have a meal, or simply pause and reflect on how the session is going. Prolonged, uninterrupted gambling sessions can make it harder to maintain perspective and make rational decisions about when to stop.
Never Gamble Under the Influence
Gambling while under the influence of alcohol, substances, or extreme emotional states — including severe stress, grief, or anger — significantly impairs your judgment and your ability to make responsible decisions about money and time. If you are not in a clear, calm state of mind, wait until you are.
Talk to Someone You Trust
If you are concerned about your gambling habits, talking to a trusted person — a family member, a close friend, or a professional counsellor — can make a significant difference. You do not have to manage these concerns alone. 88nb's support team is also available 24/7 to listen and help, with complete confidentiality.
