88gf Responsible Gaming

Playing Safely at 88gf

88gf believes that gambling should always be a fun, voluntary, and affordable form of entertainment. We are committed to providing Bangladeshi players with a safe environment where they can enjoy slots, live casino, cricket betting, and crash games — all while having full control over their spending and time.

Problem gambling is a recognised condition that can affect anyone, regardless of background, age (within the 21+ requirement), or experience level. If your gambling stops being fun, or if it begins to affect your finances, relationships, or mental wellbeing, 88gf has a range of tools and support channels ready to help — and using them is simple, confidential, and completely free.

Player Protection Tools

88gf has built a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform. All tools are available free of charge to every registered player and can be activated at any time from your account settings or by contacting our support team:

Understanding Deposit Limits

Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools available to help you manage how much money you put into your 88gf account over any given period. Here is how they work on the 88gf platform:

• You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit denominated in BDT. The limit applies to all deposit methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay, and to all payment amounts combined.
• Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed within the same period. This protects you from making impulsive decisions to increase your spending under pressure.
• Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before the increase takes effect. This delay is intentional — it gives you time to reflect on whether increasing your limit is the right choice.
• If you reach your deposit limit before the period resets, 88gf will not allow further deposits during that period regardless of payment method. This is a hard stop — not a soft warning.

We recommend all 88gf players — not just those concerned about problem gambling — set a deposit limit when they first create their account. Starting with a limit is a healthy habit that keeps gambling in its proper place as an entertainment budget item rather than an open-ended expense.

Self-Exclusion and Time-Out

If you feel that gambling is getting out of hand — or if you simply want to take a break — 88gf's self-exclusion tool lets you step away from the platform for a defined period, with no questions asked and no pressure to continue playing. Here is how it works:

• Temporary self-exclusion periods available: 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months. You choose the period that suits your situation.
• Permanent self-exclusion is also available and results in the closure of your 88gf account. A permanent exclusion cannot be reversed. Any real-money balance in the account at the time of permanent closure will be returned to you via your verified payment method.
• Self-exclusions take effect within 24 hours of the request being submitted. During processing, our support team may reach out to confirm your request. The exclusion cannot be reversed or shortened once activated.
• If you attempt to create a new 88gf account during an active self-exclusion period, that account will be closed immediately upon detection and the exclusion period will be enforced on the new account as well.

Recognising the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually and may not be immediately obvious — even to the person experiencing it. The following are recognised warning signs that gambling may be becoming harmful. If you recognise any of these in yourself or someone close to you, please consider reaching out for support:

• ⚠️Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can comfortably afford, and feeling unable to stop once you have started.
• ⚠️Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often leading to larger losses.
• ⚠️Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling, or hiding gambling activity from people close to you.
• ⚠️Gambling with money that is intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, utility bills, bKash top-ups for family needs, or other financial obligations.
• ⚠️Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce or stop gambling activity.
• ⚠️Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or social relationships in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere in Bangladesh because of time spent gambling.
• ⚠️Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, loneliness, or other difficult emotions rather than addressing the underlying cause directly.

Recognising these signs early is the first step toward regaining control. You do not need to wait until gambling causes serious harm to take action — reaching out early is always the right decision.

Self-Assessment Checklist

Answer the following questions honestly to help you assess your own relationship with gambling. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to use one of the responsible gaming tools above or contact 88gf support for a confidential conversation:

Age Restriction Policy — 21+ Only

88gf is strictly an adult platform. All players must be aged 21 or above to register an account, make a deposit, or participate in any game or betting activity on the 88gf platform. This requirement applies to all players in Bangladesh without exception.

To protect against underage access, 88gf requires identity verification (KYC) during account registration. Players who cannot verify their age will not be able to withdraw winnings or access the full platform. Age verification documents accepted include Bangladesh National ID (NID) and valid passport:

• Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) — the primary accepted document for age and identity verification for Bangladeshi players.
• Valid Bangladesh passport — accepted as an alternative identity document where NID is not available.
• If 88gf reasonably suspects that a player is under 21, the account will be suspended immediately. Any balance in the account will be held pending verification. If underage use is confirmed, the account will be permanently closed and the balance reviewed in line with our Terms and Conditions.

Tips for Healthy and Enjoyable Play

The vast majority of 88gf players enjoy gambling safely and responsibly as a form of entertainment. Here are some practical habits that can help keep gambling fun, affordable, and stress-free:

• Set a strict entertainment budget before you play — decide in advance exactly how much you are willing to spend and treat it like any other leisure expense, such as cinema tickets or a meal out in Dhaka.
• Never gamble when you are stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or substances — emotional states and impaired judgement lead to poor decisions and are among the most common triggers for problem gambling.
• Take regular breaks — set a session time limit in your account settings and stick to it. Stand up, have a drink of water, and step away from the screen for at least five minutes between sessions.
• Accept that losses are part of gambling — every casino game and sports bet has a house edge or variance. Losses are normal and expected. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase a losing streak.
• Balance gambling with other activities — maintain your other hobbies, social activities, and time with family and friends in Bangladesh. Gambling should be one enjoyable part of a balanced lifestyle, not the dominant focus of your free time.
• Use the 88gf activity log regularly — check your deposit and session history at least once a week so you always have an accurate picture of how much you are spending. Awareness is your first line of defence.

Getting Help — You Are Not Alone

If you believe gambling is becoming a problem — for yourself or someone you care about in Bangladesh — the most important thing you can do is reach out. Problem gambling is a recognised condition, and help is available. You do not need to have lost everything before asking for support. Seeking help early makes recovery faster and less disruptive to your life.

In addition to contacting 88gf directly, we encourage players who are experiencing significant gambling-related difficulties to also consider reaching out to professional support organisations. While 88gf cannot refer to specific third-party services, the following types of support are available in Bangladesh:

• Mental health and counselling services available at government hospitals across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, and other major cities — speak to your doctor or visit your nearest government hospital outpatient department for a referral.
• Community and religious support networks — Bangladesh has strong community and religious support structures. Trusted community leaders, imams, and religious counsellors can provide guidance and non-judgmental support to those struggling with problem gambling.
• Family and trusted friends — sometimes talking openly to a trusted family member or close friend is the first and most important step. Do not feel ashamed to share what you are going through — problem gambling affects many families across Bangladesh and there is no stigma in asking for help.

Remember: reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 88gf is committed to supporting every player who needs it — and that commitment does not end when you stop playing. If you or someone you know needs help, please do not wait.
