Responsible Gaming
at 8h88
Fun and entertainment come first at 8h88 — and that means keeping your gaming experience healthy, informed, and in your control. This page covers every tool and resource we offer to help Bangladesh players stay on the right side of their limits.
Section 1
Our Commitment to Responsible GamingAt 8h88, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is built into the foundation of everything we do. We believe that gambling should be a source of entertainment, not a source of stress, financial hardship, or personal harm. Our platform exists to give Bangladesh players an enjoyable, fair, and fully transparent gaming environment where every individual retains full control over their play.
We understand that for a small number of players, gambling can shift from harmless recreation into something harder to manage. That is why 8h88 has invested in a suite of player-protection tools, trained our support team to handle sensitive conversations with care and empathy, and made it as easy as possible for any player to step back, slow down, or stop — without barriers, without judgment, and without delay.
This page explains every responsible gaming measure available on the 8h88 platform and how to use them. If at any point you feel that gambling is becoming a problem for you or someone you know, please do not wait — contact our 24/7 support team at [email protected] or use the self-exclusion tool described in Section 3 below.
8h88 is designed as a leisure activity. We actively encourage players to treat gambling as entertainment with a set budget — not as a way to earn income or recover losses from previous sessions.
Every 8h88 account comes with built-in tools that put you in control: deposit limits, session timers, reality checks, cool-off periods, and full self-exclusion — all accessible from your account settings.
8h88 will never send you messages that pressure you to chase losses, exceed your limits, or deposit when you have chosen to take a break. Our communications are designed to inform, not to pressure.
All games on the 8h88 platform display their RTP (Return to Player) percentage and volatility rating. Understanding the odds before you play is one of the most effective responsible gaming practices.
Your full transaction history — every deposit, withdrawal, and wager — is available in your account dashboard at any time. Keeping track of your spending is the first step to responsible gaming.
Conversations with the 8h88 responsible gaming support team are treated with complete confidentiality. You can reach out about a concern, request a limit change, or initiate self-exclusion without any stigma.
Section 2
18+ Age RestrictionAccess to the 8h88 platform is strictly limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. This is a firm, non-negotiable policy. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful, and 8h88 takes every reasonable step to prevent minors from accessing any part of the gaming platform.
During the registration process, every new 8h88 player is required to confirm their date of birth and agree that they are aged 18 or above. This self-declaration is followed by a formal KYC check in which a copy of a valid government-issued photo ID — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport — must be submitted and approved before full account access and withdrawals are enabled.
Protecting minors in your household: If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly encourage you to use the parental control and filtering tools available through your internet service provider or device operating system. Software solutions such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in Android/iOS parental controls can restrict access to gambling websites at the device level, providing an additional layer of protection for children in your home.
If you believe a minor has accessed your 8h88 account, contact support immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay. Always log out of your 8h88 account when stepping away from a shared device, and never share your login credentials with anyone.
Section 3
Self-ExclusionSelf-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel they need a complete break from gambling. When you self-exclude on 8h88, your account is suspended for your chosen period — you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets for the entire duration. 8h88 will also suppress all promotional communications to your registered contact details during a self-exclusion period.
How to request self-exclusion:
-
1Log in to your 8h88 accountNavigate to Account Settings from your profile menu in the top right corner of the screen. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section.
-
2Select Self-ExclusionChoose "Self-Exclusion" from the responsible gaming tools menu. Select your desired exclusion duration from the available options: 24 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent.
-
3Confirm your requestYou will be asked to confirm your selection. Read the confirmation carefully — once a self-exclusion is activated, it takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed before the selected period expires.
-
4Receive confirmation email8h88 will send a confirmation email to your registered address. This email confirms the exclusion start time, duration, and the earliest date your account may be considered for reactivation (if applicable).
-
5Need help? Contact support directlyIf you are unable to access your account settings to initiate self-exclusion, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will action your request within 1 hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Once a self-exclusion period begins, 8h88 will not accept requests to lift or shorten it before the end date — regardless of the reason. This is by design. The purpose of self-exclusion is to create a firm, reliable barrier during a period of vulnerability. For permanent account closures, there are no exceptions under any circumstances.
Section 4
Deposit LimitsSetting a deposit limit is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your gambling within a budget you are comfortable with. 8h88 allows every player to set their own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in BDT directly from their account settings. Once a limit is set, the system will automatically decline any deposit attempt that would cause you to exceed your chosen threshold within the relevant time window.
Deposit limits can be lowered at any time and the new, reduced limit takes effect immediately. This instant downward adjustment is deliberate — if you decide you need to spend less, we make that change effective right away with no waiting period. Requests to increase a deposit limit, however, are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the higher limit takes effect. This built-in delay gives you time to reconsider whether the increase is genuinely in your best interest.
- Minimum daily limit: ৳500
- Can be reduced instantly
- Increase requires 7-day review
- Recommended for most players
- Effective across all payment methods
- Covers bKash, Nagad, Rocket & Upay
- Resets on the 1st of each month
- Combines with daily/weekly limits
- The most restrictive limit always applies
We recommend that every 8h88 player sets a deposit limit before their first session — even if you feel confident in your spending habits. Think of it as setting up a budget for a night out: you decide the amount in advance, and the system enforces it automatically so there is no need for willpower in the moment. A deposit limit is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of smart, informed gaming.
Section 5
Time-Out & Session ControlsBeyond deposit limits and self-exclusion, 8h88 provides a range of session-level controls to help you manage how long you spend on the platform in any single sitting. Long, uninterrupted gaming sessions can reduce decision-making quality and make it harder to keep track of how much time and money has passed. Our session controls are specifically designed to counteract this effect.
Section 6
Recognising Problem GamblingProblem gambling can develop gradually, and it is often difficult to recognise in yourself before it has already begun to affect your finances, relationships, or mental health. 8h88 encourages all players to periodically reflect honestly on their gambling habits using the checklist below. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, please reach out for help — speaking to someone is the most important first step.
Ask yourself honestly: in the past 30 days, have you...
Problem gambling affects people from all backgrounds and income levels. Recognising the signs is a sign of strength, not weakness. If several of the questions above resonated with you, please reach out to our responsible gaming support team at [email protected] — we are here to help you access the right tools and resources without judgment.
Section 7
