๐ก๏ธ Responsible Gaming at 88f
88f believes that gaming should be fun, controlled, and safe. We provide every player in Bangladesh with the tools and information needed to keep gambling a positive part of their leisure time โ never a source of harm.
Playing Safe Is Our Priority
A responsible platform puts player wellbeing before revenue โ always.
At 88f, responsible gaming is not a footnote in our terms โ it is a core operating principle. We recognise that while the vast majority of our players across Bangladesh enjoy casino games, live tables, and sports betting purely for entertainment, a small number of individuals may develop patterns of play that cause financial or emotional harm. Our duty is to help those players before problems escalate.
Every tool described on this page is available to all registered 88f members at no cost. You do not need to justify your decision to set a limit or take a break โ our support team will process your request promptly and without question. Responsible gaming features are built into the platform, not buried behind customer service queues.
We also apply strict internal controls: our systems flag accounts showing patterns associated with problem gambling โ such as rapidly escalating deposits, chasing losses, or logging in at unusual hours repeatedly โ and our trained support staff will proactively reach out to those players to check in and share information about the tools available to them.
Important: Gambling should never be used as a way to earn income, recover financial losses, or relieve stress. If you find yourself gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, please use the tools on this page or contact our support team immediately.
21+ Strictly Enforced
88f operates a strict minimum age policy. All players must be 21 years of age or older to register an account, make a deposit, or play any game on the platform. This policy applies to every player in Bangladesh without exception, regardless of the payment method used or the game category accessed.
Age verification is carried out during the KYC (Know Your Customer) process. Players who cannot provide valid proof of age โ such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card, passport, or driving licence โ will not be permitted to withdraw funds until verification is complete. Accounts found to belong to players under 21 will be closed immediately and any funds returned to the verified payment source.
If you are aware of a minor accessing the 88f platform using an adult's account details, please report this to our support team at [email protected] (plain text โ not a clickable link) without delay. Protecting young people from exposure to gambling is a responsibility we share with parents, guardians, and the wider community.
Parental controls: If you share a device with children or teenagers, we strongly recommend enabling parental control software on that device to prevent access to gambling websites, including 88f.
Tools to Stay in Control
Six practical tools built into 88f to help you manage your gambling activity.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the total amount you can deposit into your 88f account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit takes effect after a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose within a set time window โ daily, weekly, or monthly. When your net losses reach that threshold, 88f will suspend further play for the remainder of the period. This tool is particularly useful for players who find it difficult to stop after a losing streak.
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your session timer runs out, you will receive a notification and be automatically logged out. You can also enable reality-check reminders โ pop-up alerts at intervals you choose (e.g., every 30 minutes) that display how long you have been playing and your net result for the session.
Need a short break from gambling? The time-out feature lets you suspend your account for a fixed period of your choice โ 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. You can still withdraw any available balance. This tool is ideal if you feel your play is becoming too frequent but you do not wish to self-exclude permanently.
Self-exclusion is a formal request to close your 88f account for an extended period โ a minimum of six months, up to five years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended: you cannot log in, deposit, or gamble. 88f will also suppress all promotional communications to your registered contact details. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours of confirmation.
Your full account history โ every deposit, withdrawal, game session, bet placed, and bonus received โ is available at all times in your account dashboard. Reviewing this history regularly helps you maintain an accurate and honest picture of your gambling activity, which is the first step towards staying in control.

Is Gambling Affecting You?
Honest self-reflection is a powerful first step. Consider the questions below carefully.
Problem gambling rarely develops overnight. It typically begins with small changes in behaviour that are easy to dismiss or rationalise. The questions below are not a clinical diagnostic tool, but they can help you reflect on whether your gambling habits are moving in an unhealthy direction. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use 88f's responsible gaming tools or speak to a support professional.
Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?
This includes going back to deposit again after you told yourself you were done for the day.
Have you ever gambled to try to win back money you had already lost?
Known as "chasing losses" โ a strong behavioural indicator of harmful gambling patterns.
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling?
Emotional dependence on gambling activity is a warning sign that should not be ignored.
Have you borrowed money, sold items, or neglected bills to fund gambling?
Financial decisions driven by the need to gamble indicate a serious problem requiring immediate attention.
Has gambling caused arguments, dishonesty, or distance in your relationships?
When gambling affects the people around you, it has moved beyond leisure into harmful territory.
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible?
Difficulty stopping despite a genuine desire to do so is a core characteristic of gambling disorder.
If you answered yes to two or more questions above: please reach out to our support team or use the self-exclusion tool immediately. You do not have to manage this alone โ help is available right now.
You Are Not Alone
If gambling has become a problem in your life โ financially, emotionally, or in your relationships โ the most important thing you can do right now is talk to someone. 88f's support team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, via live chat on the platform. Our team members are trained to handle these conversations with discretion, empathy, and without judgement.
To request self-exclusion, a time-out, or any other account restriction, contact us at [email protected] (plain text โ not a clickable link) or use the live chat feature. We will respond within minutes during peak hours, and within a few hours at most during quieter periods. Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6) response times are fastest between 9:00 AM and midnight.
We also encourage players who are struggling to seek professional support. While 88f is not a counselling service, we recognise that addressing gambling harm often requires guidance beyond what a gaming platform can provide. Speaking to a trusted family member, a medical professional, or a community support service in your area โ whether in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, or elsewhere in Bangladesh โ is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Remember: Every responsible gaming tool at 88f is free to use, permanent in its protections while active, and can be set up in under two minutes. Taking control of your gambling is always the right decision โ and 88f will support you every step of the way.
