Responsible Gaming
8z88 gives every player the tools to stay in control. Gaming should be fun — and we are here to make sure it stays that way.
Gaming at 8z88: Entertainment First
8z88 is built for entertainment. Whether you enjoy cricket betting during the BPL season, spinning the reels on your favourite slots, or joining a live casino table, our platform is designed to deliver fun in a safe and controlled environment. We believe that gambling — when approached sensibly — can be a perfectly enjoyable pastime for adults in Bangladesh.
However, we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can stop being fun and start causing harm. 8z88 takes that risk seriously. We have invested in a comprehensive responsible gaming programme that gives every player the ability to set boundaries, take breaks, and reach out for help — at any time, through any device.
Responsible gaming is not a box-ticking exercise at 8z88 — it is a genuine part of how we run our platform every day. Our support team is trained in responsible gaming best practice and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
Every 8z88 account comes with a full suite of player-protection tools. You can activate any of these at any time from within your account settings or by contacting our support team directly.
Setting Deposit Limits at 8z88
Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping your gambling spend under control. At 8z88, you can set a limit on how much you deposit daily, weekly, or monthly — and our system enforces it automatically. Here is how to activate your deposit limit:
- Log in to your 8z88 account and go to Account Settings.
- Navigate to the Responsible Gaming section and select Deposit Limits.
- Choose your preferred period (daily, weekly, or monthly) and enter the amount in BDT.
- Confirm the limit. Reductions are effective immediately. Increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they take effect.
Self-Exclusion: Taking a Longer Break
If you feel that gambling is no longer fun, or if it is causing you stress, financial difficulty, or problems in your personal relationships, self-exclusion is the right step. When you self-exclude from 8z88, you will be blocked from accessing your account, placing bets, and making deposits for the full duration of your chosen exclusion period. Here is how the self-exclusion process works:
- Contact our support team via live chat or email and request self-exclusion. Alternatively, use the self-exclusion option directly in Account Settings.
- Choose your exclusion period: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent exclusion.
- Your exclusion is processed within 24 hours. You will receive a confirmation notification once it is active.
- During the exclusion period, any promotional emails or marketing will also be paused. Your account balance is preserved and accessible when the exclusion ends.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following signs may indicate that gambling has become a problem rather than a pastime. If you recognise any of these in your own behaviour, we encourage you to use our responsible gaming tools or speak to our support team.
- Spending more than you can afford to lose, or gambling with money set aside for bills, rent, or food.
- Gambling to recover losses ("chasing losses") rather than for entertainment.
- Lying to family members or friends about the amount of time or money spent on gambling.
- Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when you are not gambling, or when you try to cut back.
- Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health in favour of gambling.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking loans specifically to fund gambling activity.
Recognising a problem is the first and most important step. You do not need to wait until things are serious before reaching out. Our team is here to listen and to help — with no judgement.
Time-Out: A Short Pause
Sometimes you just need a short break. A time-out is different from self-exclusion — it is a temporary pause on your account, available in durations of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During a time-out, you cannot deposit or place bets, but the restriction lifts automatically at the end of the period without any further action required from you.
Time-outs are useful for players who feel they are spending more time gaming than they would like, or who simply want a few days away from the platform after a losing run. You can request a time-out any time through Account Settings or via live chat.
Tips for Playing Safely
The best approach to gambling is to treat it as a paid form of entertainment — the same way you might budget for a cinema trip or a meal out. These habits help keep gambling fun and within healthy boundaries:
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it — never play with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Treat any winnings as a bonus, not income. Do not count on gambling to pay bills or cover essential expenses.
- Take regular breaks during sessions. Step away from the screen, drink water, and reset your focus before continuing.
- Do not gamble when you are emotionally distressed, tired, under the influence of alcohol, or under financial pressure.
- Use the Activity History in your account to review how much time and money you have spent — regular check-ins help you stay aware.
- Balance gambling with other hobbies and social activities. A varied lifestyle reduces the risk of gambling becoming a dominant habit .
Protecting Young People
8z88 is an adults-only platform and we take our responsibility to prevent underage gambling extremely seriously. Our registration process requires every applicant to confirm they are aged 21 or over, and we conduct identity verification to support this. We carry out ongoing monitoring to identify accounts that may have been registered by persons below the minimum age, and any such accounts are closed immediately upon discovery.
If you share a device with family members, especially children or teenagers, we strongly recommend using your device's built-in parental controls or dedicated parental control software to prevent underage access to gambling platforms. Ensure you log out of your 8z88 account after each session and do not save your login credentials on shared devices.
Get Help: You Are Not Alone
If gambling has become a source of stress, financial difficulty, or conflict in your life, please reach out. You do not need to manage this alone. The 8z88 support team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with sensitivity and without judgement. We can help you activate any of our player-protection tools, arrange a self-exclusion, or simply talk through what you are experiencing.
Reach our responsible gaming support team any time via live chat on the 8z88 platform, or by email at [email protected]. All enquiries are handled with full confidentiality. Response time: under 1 hour via live chat, within 24 hours by email.
