Responsible Gaming at 88be
Gambling at 88be should be an enjoyable pastime — not a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page explains the tools, resources, and support available to help you stay in control of your play, every session, every day. We are committed to the welfare of every player on our platform.
18+ Age Restriction Policy
88be operates exclusively for adults. Every person who registers an account on this platform must be at least 18 years of age. This is a firm, non-negotiable requirement that applies to all players across Bangladesh — including those in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Cox's Bazar.
At the point of registration, all applicants are required to declare their date of birth. Following registration, 88be's Know Your Customer (KYC) process requires every player to submit a copy of a valid government-issued identity document — such as their Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport — before deposits, withdrawals, or real-money gameplay are permitted. If a KYC review reveals that an account holder is under 18, the account is immediately suspended, any deposited funds are returned via the original payment channel, and the account is permanently closed.
Why Age Verification Matters
Gambling is an adult activity. Exposure to gambling products before the age of 18 is associated with an increased risk of developing gambling-related problems in adulthood. 88be enforces its age restriction not merely as a legal formality but as a genuine safeguard for the well-being of young people in Bangladesh. If you suspect that a minor in your household has accessed this platform, please contact us immediately at support@88be.bet with the subject line "Underage Account Report" — we will treat this as a priority and act without delay.
Strict 18+ Rule: 88be will never knowingly permit a person under 18 to hold an account, place a bet, or access real-money games on this platform. Accounts confirmed to belong to a minor are closed permanently and the matter reported to relevant authorities where required by law.

Principles of Safe Gambling
Responsible gambling is about making informed choices and maintaining healthy boundaries around your play. The following principles are recommended by 88be to every player as the foundation of a safe and enjoyable experience on our platform.
Treat gambling as a form of entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to recover financial losses. Every session should be funded from your disposable entertainment budget — money you are comfortable losing.
Decide exactly how much you are willing to spend before opening any game or placing any bet. Once your session budget is exhausted, stop playing. Use 88be's deposit limit tools to enforce this automatically at the account level.
Set a time limit for each gambling session before you start. Long, uninterrupted sessions increase the risk of impaired decision-making and chasing losses. Use our time-out feature to enforce session breaks automatically.
Chasing losses — betting more to recover previous losses — is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling. If you find yourself increasing bets after a losing streak, stop immediately and take a break.
Avoid placing bets when you are emotionally distressed, fatigued, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances. Sound judgment is essential to making responsible gambling decisions.
Regularly review your transaction and gameplay history in your 88be account dashboard. Understanding your actual spending and session patterns helps you make more informed decisions about your gambling behaviour.
Remember: The house always has a mathematical edge over time. No betting system, strategy, or pattern guarantees a winning outcome. Gambling should never be relied upon as a financial solution — at 88be or anywhere else.
Player Protection Tools
88be provides a comprehensive suite of player protection tools that you can activate at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team at support@88be.bet. These tools are free to use and take effect immediately or within 24 hours as indicated below.
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month in ৳ BDT. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the limit period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; limit increases require a 7-day cooling-off period before coming into force.
Define the maximum duration of a single gambling session. When your session limit is reached, you are automatically logged out of the 88be platform and notified by on-screen message. You may set a daily, weekly, or per-session time boundary to suit your lifestyle.
Set a ceiling on the total amount you can lose within a given time period. Once your net losses reach your chosen threshold, your account is temporarily restricted from further gameplay for the remainder of that period. This tool prevents runaway losses during an unlucky session.
Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display your session duration and net wagering balance at intervals you choose (e.g., every 30 minutes, every hour). Reality checks help you stay aware of how long you have been playing and how much you have spent without interrupting your session.
Request a temporary break from gambling of 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During a time-out, your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or wager. Time-outs take effect within 1 hour of your request and cannot be reversed during the chosen period.
Request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. Self-exclusion fully suspends your account and blocks all access to 88be. Winnings accrued before the exclusion are paid out; your account cannot be reopened before the exclusion period ends. This is 88be's strongest player-protection tool.
How to activate any tool: Log in to your 88be account, navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming, and select the tool you wish to enable. Alternatively, email support@88be.bet with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Help" — our team will apply the requested restriction to your account within 1 hour.
Deposit & Wagering Limits
Deposit and wagering limits are the most widely used responsible gambling tools available on the 88be platform. They allow you to define, in advance, the maximum amount of money you are willing to commit to gambling within a specific time window — before emotion or in-session excitement can influence that decision.
How Deposit Limits Work at 88be
You can set a deposit limit denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳ BDT) for any of the following time frames: daily (24 hours), weekly (7 rolling days), or monthly (30 rolling days). Multiple limits can be active simultaneously — for example, a daily limit of ৳2,000 and a monthly limit of ৳30,000. Deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Visa, and Mastercard are all subject to the limit you set.
Changing or Removing a Deposit Limit
You may reduce your deposit limit at any time, and the reduction takes effect immediately — the lower limit applies from the moment you save the change. However, increasing your deposit limit or removing it entirely is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period. This delay exists to protect you from impulsive decisions made during a losing session. The increase or removal only comes into effect 7 full days after the change is requested, giving you time to reconsider.
Wagering Limits
In addition to deposit limits, 88be allows you to set a maximum total wager amount per time period. Wagering limits cap the cumulative value of all bets placed — whether on cricket markets, BPL or IPL matches, slots, Teen Patti, Andar Bahar, or live dealer games — within the chosen window. When your wagering limit is reached, gameplay is suspended until the limit period resets.
Recommended starting point: If you are setting a deposit limit for the first time, 88be recommends starting with a monthly limit equal to no more than 5% of your monthly net income. Gambling should never compete with essential expenses such as rent, food, education, or family support.
All deposit methods are subject to your chosen deposit limit. No single channel can bypass the limit you set.
- Decreasing a limit: immediate effect
- Increasing a limit: 7-day cooling period
- Removing a limit: 7-day cooling period
- Multiple limits: allowed simultaneously
Self-Exclusion & Time-Out
Self-exclusion and time-out are the most powerful player-protection tools available at 88be. They are designed for players who feel that gambling is beginning to cause harm — or who simply want a structured break from the platform. Both tools are free, take effect rapidly, and are strongly enforced by our systems.
Time-Out (Short-Term Break)
A time-out is a temporary suspension of your 88be account. You can request a time-out of 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During the time-out period:
- Your account is suspended and you cannot log in.
- No deposits can be made through any payment channel (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, etc.).
- No bets can be placed on any market — cricket, BPL, IPL, slots, live casino, or otherwise.
- Promotional communications are paused for the duration of the time-out.
- The time-out cannot be reversed or shortened once activated — it runs for its full duration.
Time-outs take effect within 1 hour of your request. Any open bets placed before the time-out are settled normally; winnings are credited to your balance and available for withdrawal when the time-out ends.
Self-Exclusion (Long-Term Suspension)
Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment to stop gambling on 88be. Available periods are 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and permanent (indefinite). When you self-exclude:
- Your account is fully suspended within 1 hour of your request.
- All access to the platform — including via mobile browser — is blocked.
- 88be will make reasonable efforts to remove you from all marketing lists; you will not receive promotional emails, SMS messages, or notifications during the exclusion.
- Any account balance at the time of self-exclusion is returned to you via your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, etc.) — you are not penalised financially for self-excluding.
- A self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. Requests to reopen a self-excluded account before the period expires will be declined.
- At the end of a fixed self-exclusion period, your account will not be automatically reactivated — you must contact support@88be.bet and pass a fresh KYC review before access is restored, giving you an additional checkpoint.
Permanent self-exclusion: If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed indefinitely and cannot be reopened under any circumstances. This option is recommended for players who have identified a serious problem with gambling and need a permanent solution.

- Permanent — indefinite, no reversal
- 24 hours — overnight break

All tools are free. There is no charge to apply a deposit limit, time-out, or self-exclusion. 88be will never penalise you for choosing to protect yourself.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following signs and behaviours are commonly associated with gambling that has moved beyond healthy entertainment and may require professional attention. If you recognise several of these patterns in your own behaviour, we encourage you to use our protection tools or seek support.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended or can afford.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or withdrawing from savings to fund gambling.
- Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have lost (chasing losses).
- Lying to family, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling.
- Neglecting work, family responsibilities, or social commitments in favour of gambling.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
- Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, depression, anxiety, or other emotional problems.
- Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling.
- Feeling preoccupied with gambling — constantly planning the next session or thinking about past wins.
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, school fees, or family bills.
- You gamble only with a pre-set budget from your disposable entertainment funds.
- You can stop playing and walk away without distress when your budget or time limit is reached.
- Gambling does not interfere with your work, family relationships, or daily responsibilities.
- You view gambling as entertainment, not as a financial strategy or income source.
- You are open and honest with people close to you about your gambling activity.
If you recognise warning signs in your own behaviour, please do not wait. Contact 88be support immediately to activate a time-out or self-exclusion, or reach out to a professional support organisation for confidential help.
Quick self-check: Ask yourself — "Am I gambling with money I cannot afford to lose?" If the honest answer is yes, contact support@88be.bet right now.

Parental Controls
88be is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not knowingly collect, process, or retain personal data from any individual under the age of 18. Our registration process includes a mandatory date-of-birth field, and all accounts are subject to KYC verification that confirms the account holder meets the minimum age requirement before any deposit, withdrawal, or gameplay is permitted.
Protecting Minors on Shared Devices
If you share a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a minor, we strongly recommend taking the following steps to prevent accidental or intentional access to the 88be platform:
- Use parental control software: Install reputable parental control applications on shared devices. These tools can block access to gambling-related websites by category, ensuring minors cannot reach 88be or similar platforms.
- Never share your login credentials: Keep your 88be username and password private. Do not store them in a browser auto-fill that a minor could access.
- Enable device-level restrictions: Most modern smartphones and tablets (including Android devices widely used in Bangladesh) include built-in screen time and app restriction features accessible through device settings.
- Log out after every session: Always log out of your 88be account when you finish a session on a shared device, rather than relying on the browser to close your session automatically.
- Use a separate device profile: Many devices support multiple user profiles. Creating a separate profile for minors — without access to your 88be account details — is a practical safeguard.
Reporting an Underage Account
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a minor in your care has registered an account on 88be, please contact us immediately at support@88be.bet with the subject line "Underage Account Report". We will investigate the report as a priority, suspend the account during the investigation, and close it permanently if the concern is confirmed. Any funds deposited by a minor will be returned in full.
Zero tolerance for underage gambling: 88be will never knowingly allow a person under 18 to hold an account, place a bet, or access real-money casino games on this platform. Any account confirmed to belong to a minor is closed permanently.
- Install parental control software on shared devices
- Keep 88be login credentials private
