Responsible Gaming at 88rd
We believe gaming should be fun, controlled, and safe. 88rd provides every player in Bangladesh the tools and guidance to stay in control of their experience.
At 88rd, responsible gaming is not a footnote — it is a core part of how we operate. We recognize that while the vast majority of players enjoy cricket betting, live casino, slots, and other games purely for entertainment, a small number of individuals may develop habits that go beyond healthy play. That is why we have built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework to protect every player on our platform.
Gambling is intended purely as entertainment. It should never be treated as a way to earn income, solve financial problems, or compensate for stress. We strongly encourage all players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and every other part of Bangladesh to approach gaming with a clear head, a pre-set budget, and defined time limits. Responsible gambling starts before you place your first bet.
88rd is committed to being fully transparent about the risks associated with gambling. We partner with internationally recognized player-protection standards and use industry-approved tools to help our users maintain healthy gaming habits. If you ever feel that gambling is negatively affecting your daily life, our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to guide you toward the right resources.
Age Restriction Policy
88rd strictly enforces a minimum age requirement for all players. Gambling is for adults only.
Player Protection Tools
88rd gives you direct control over your gambling experience. These tools are available in your account settings and can be activated at any time.
-
Deposit Limits Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to manage your spending. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit has a mandatory 24-hour cooling period; decreasing it applies instantly.
-
Session Time Limits Define how long each gaming session can last. When your session time is up, you will be automatically logged out. You can also enable on-screen reminders that notify you every 30, 60, or 90 minutes of active play.
-
Self-Exclusion If you feel you need a complete break from gambling, you can self-exclude from 88rd for a period ranging from 30 days to 5 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is frozen — you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bets. All marketing communications are also stopped.
-
Account Cool-Off Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days without permanently closing your account. During a cool-off period, all gambling features are disabled. This is ideal if you notice early signs of compulsive play.
-
Activity & Spend Tracker Review your full betting history, net profit and loss statements, and total time spent on the platform. Seeing your real figures — rather than estimating — is the single most effective first step in understanding your gambling habits.
Our Commitments to You
88rd's responsible gaming policy is built on six pillars that protect players at every stage of their journey.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income level, age, or experience. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step to getting help.
If you recognise any of the following patterns in yourself or someone you know, consider reaching out to our support team or a professional counselling service without delay.
- Spending more money or time gambling than originally intended, repeatedly
- Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money already lost
- Lying to family or friends about how much time or money is spent on gambling
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems rather than for entertainment
- Borrowing money or selling possessions specifically to fund gambling activity
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling — a sign of dependency
Playing Responsibly: Practical Tips
Always treat gambling as paid entertainment, not as an investment. Before you start a session, set a firm budget — an amount you are genuinely comfortable losing — and a time limit. When either limit is reached, stop. Never gamble with money earmarked for essential expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, or family needs. During Ramadan, Eid, Pohela Boishakh, or other significant occasions, be especially mindful of spending and ensure that gambling does not interfere with your personal or family commitments.
Avoid drinking alcohol or taking substances while gambling — impaired judgment leads to poor decisions and higher risk of overspending. Take regular breaks during sessions: stand up, have a drink of water, and check the time. This simple habit helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing and prevents the mindless continuation that characterizes problem gambling.
If someone close to you is concerned about your gambling, listen openly. A second perspective from a trusted friend or family member is often the clearest indicator that a change is needed. 88rd's self-exclusion and cool-off tools are designed to act as a circuit breaker — giving you space to reassess without pressure. You are always in control, and we are here to support that control.
