Responsible Gaming at 88cb — Play Smart, Stay in Control
At 88cb, we believe that gaming should always be an enjoyable, freely chosen activity — never a source of financial or emotional distress. Our responsible gaming framework gives every Bangladeshi player the tools, information, and support they need to keep their experience positive and under control.
How 88cb Puts Player Wellbeing First
Responsible gaming is not a checkbox at 88cb — it is a core part of how we build and operate our platform. The following principles guide every decision we make regarding player safety and welfare across Bangladesh.
All 88cb accounts are subject to mandatory age verification. Players must be 21 years of age or older to register and play on the platform. Identity documents are verified during the KYC process to confirm each player meets the minimum age requirement. Accounts that cannot be verified are suspended without exception.
88cb provides every player with the ability to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from their account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately for reductions and after a 24-hour cooling-off period for increases — helping you stick to a budget that suits your financial situation.
Players who feel they need a longer break from gambling can request self-exclusion for a defined period — 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or permanently. During a self-exclusion period, access to the 88cb platform is fully blocked and all marketing communications are suspended. Contact [email protected] to activate self-exclusion at any time.
Need a short break without committing to a full self-exclusion? The 88cb time-out tool lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 7 days. During a time-out, login is disabled and no deposits can be processed. Your account and balance are preserved and restored when the time-out period ends.
88cb offers configurable reality check notifications that appear at regular intervals during a gaming session — for example, every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each reminder shows you how long you have been playing and the net result of your session, giving you the facts you need to make an informed decision about continuing or stopping.
Our dedicated support team is available around the clock — every day of the year — to assist players across Bangladesh who have concerns about their gaming behaviour. Whether you need help setting a deposit limit, requesting a time-out, or simply want to talk through your options, our team responds promptly and without judgement.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
Every 88cb player has access to a full set of protective tools, available directly from their account dashboard at any time. Here is a detailed breakdown of what each tool does and how to use it.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your 88cb account per day, per week, or per month. Limits can be set in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) — for example, ৳5,000 per day or ৳20,000 per month.
How to activate: Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits, enter your preferred limit, and confirm. Changes that reduce your limit take effect immediately.
Increasing a limit: Requests to raise a deposit limit are subject to a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before the higher limit becomes active.
Temporarily suspend your 88cb account for a short cooling-off period. Available durations: 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. Your account balance is preserved throughout the time-out period.
How to activate: Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Time-Out, select your preferred duration, and confirm. The suspension takes effect within minutes.
Note: During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The time-out cannot be cancelled early once activated.
For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion blocks access to the 88cb platform for a defined period: 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or permanently. All promotional messaging is halted.
How to activate: Contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will action the request within 24 hours.
Permanent exclusion: Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. Account closure and data deletion will follow the applicable retention periods outlined in our Privacy Policy.
Configure on-screen notifications that interrupt your gaming session at regular intervals — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — and display your total session time and net wagering result.
How to activate: Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Reality Check, select your preferred reminder interval, and save. Reminders appear as a modal overlay during gameplay.
Why it matters: Time passes quickly during gaming sessions. Reality checks give you a factual, objective moment to pause and reassess whether you want to continue playing.
All responsible gaming tools are free to use and available to every registered 88cb player. You do not need to provide a reason to activate any of these features. If you are having difficulty finding the tools in your account or need assistance setting them up, contact our 24/7 support team at [email protected].
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling is a form of entertainment that the vast majority of players enjoy without difficulty. However, for some individuals, gambling can develop into a pattern of behaviour that causes harm — financially, emotionally, and in personal relationships. Recognising the early warning signs is the first and most important step toward getting help.
At 88cb, we want every player in Bangladesh to feel empowered to assess their own gambling behaviour honestly. The questions below are adapted from internationally recognised problem gambling screening tools. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team or a professional counselling service.
Problem gambling affects people of all backgrounds and income levels. It is not a sign of weakness to seek help — it is a sign of self-awareness and courage. 88cb's support team is available 24/7 and will treat your enquiry with complete confidentiality. You can also request immediate self-exclusion at any time by emailing [email protected].
Do Any of These Apply to You?
Answering "yes" to two or more of these questions suggests that gambling may be having a negative impact on your life. Please contact our support team at [email protected] or request self-exclusion immediately. You are not alone, and help is available.
Protecting Minors — Strict 21+ Policy
88cb operates an absolute minimum age policy of 21 years. 21+ This is not a guideline — it is a hard requirement enforced through mandatory KYC identity verification for every player who registers on the platform. No real-money gaming activity is permitted until a player's age has been confirmed by our verification process.
We recognise that in Bangladesh, as in many markets, family members may share devices or mobile numbers. 88cb takes seriously its responsibility to prevent underage access, and our age gate is the first line of defence. However, we also strongly encourage parents and guardians to take additional steps at home to prevent minors from accessing gambling platforms.
Steps Parents and Guardians Can Take
- Use parental control software — Install reputable parental control applications on shared devices that block access to online gambling websites, including 88cb.
- Secure your 88cb account credentials — Never share your username, password, or mobile OTP with household members. Enable two-factor authentication on your account.
- Monitor device usage — Regularly review the browsing history and app activity of devices used by minors in your household.
- Educate about gambling risks — Have open conversations with younger family members about the risks associated with gambling and why it is restricted to adults aged 21 and above.
- Report suspected underage access — If you believe a minor has accessed or attempted to access the 88cb platform, contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take corrective action without delay.
Any account found to be held by or used by an individual under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended. All funds in the account will be withheld pending investigation, and the case may be referred to the relevant authorities. 88cb cooperates fully with law enforcement agencies in all matters related to underage gambling.
Several reputable, freely available tools can help block access to gambling sites on shared devices. Look for parental control features built into your mobile operating system (Android and iOS both offer screen time and content restrictions), or consider dedicated family safety apps available through your device's official app store. These tools work independently of 88cb and provide an additional layer of protection at the device level.
Golden Rules for Responsible Play
Whether you enjoy cricket betting, live casino, slots, or Dragon and Tiger games, these principles apply to every 88cb player. Keeping them in mind will help ensure that your gaming experience remains positive, controlled, and enjoyable for the long term.
Before you start any gaming session, decide on a fixed budget that you are comfortable losing entirely — and stick to it. Never gamble with money intended for rent, bills, food, medical expenses, or other essential needs. Treat your gambling budget as a leisure expense, not an investment.
The correct mindset for gambling is that it is a form of paid entertainment — like watching a cricket match or going to a restaurant. The expected outcome over time is a cost (the house edge), not a profit. Enjoy the excitement and social experience without placing expectations of financial return on your sessions.
One of the most dangerous gambling behaviours is the impulse to place larger bets after a losing run in an attempt to recover lost funds. Each game round is independent — past results do not influence future outcomes. If you find yourself chasing losses, stop immediately, take a break, and consider using our time-out tool.
Decide in advance how long you will spend in any single gaming session and use the 88cb reality check reminders to keep yourself on track. Long, uninterrupted sessions increase the risk of impulsive decisions and fatigue-driven betting. Short, focused sessions with planned breaks are the hallmark of healthy gambling habits.
Avoid placing bets when you are under the influence of alcohol or other substances, when you are emotionally distressed, severely tired, or going through a difficult personal period. Impaired judgement significantly increases the risk of making poor decisions and losing more than intended. Gaming should always be a choice made with a clear mind.
A healthy relationship with gambling means it is one activity among many, not the central focus of your social or leisure life. Maintain regular time with family and friends, pursue hobbies unrelated to gaming, and ensure that your work, studies, and personal relationships receive the attention they deserve. Gaming should enhance your life — not replace other parts of it.
