The Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Why 88bet Places the Highest Priority on Responsible Gaming

Most Important
Play within your budget

Only bet what you can afford to lose. Set a deposit limit on 88bet — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once it's set, your budget stays in your hands.

Manage your time

Playing for extended periods can cause mental strain. Set a session time limit — once the time is up, 88bet will automatically send you an alert.

Treat It as Entertainment

Betting is not a livelihood — it's entertainment. Think of every bet like a cinema ticket. If a loss feels like the end of the world, it's time to take a break.

Taking a break is not a weakness

If you're tired or feeling emotionally unsteady, step away from betting. Activating a cooling-off period will automatically pause your account for a set amount of time.

Protect Family & Relationships

Never let betting affect your relationships with family or loved ones. Talk openly with your family — keeping it hidden only makes things worse.

Self-Exclusion — The Most Powerful Tool

You can exclude yourself from the platform temporarily or permanently. Just contact support and your self-exclusion will be in effect within 24 hours.

How to Use 88bet's Protection Tools

Every tool can be activated through your Account Settings or via Support

1
Deposit Limit

Set a cap on how much you deposit within a given period before you start.

  • Go to Account Settings
  • Choose a daily / weekly / monthly limit
  • Enter the amount and save
  • Decreasing your limit takes effect immediately — increasing it requires a 72-hour waiting period
2
Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how long you play in one sitting. You'll receive an alert when your time is up.

  • Look for 'Session Limit' in Account Settings
  • Choose 30 minutes / 1 hour / 2 hours
  • A pop-up alert will appear when your time is up
  • Alerts cannot be ignored — you must log out
3
Loss Limit

Your account will automatically close once losses exceed a set amount.

  • Set daily / weekly loss limits
  • Betting stops automatically when the limit is reached
  • Resets the following day or week
  • A mandatory 24-hour waiting period applies before any limit increase
4
Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from betting — no questions asked, no hassle.

  • Choose anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks
  • Contact support and it takes effect instantly
  • You can log in during this period but placing bets will not be possible
  • Automatically renews when the period ends
5
Self-Exclusion

Remove yourself from the platform on a long-term or permanent basis.

  • 6 months / 1 year / 5 years / Permanent — choose whichever suits you

  • A pop-up will appear every 30 / 60 / 90 minutes
  • Shows total session time and net result
  • Keep going or take a break — the choice is yours
  • Easy to activate from Account Settings

Self-Assessment

Ask yourself the questions below. If most of your answers are "Yes" — pause and use 88bet's protection tools or reach out to Support.

Self-Assessment
1
After a loss, have you placed bigger bets to try to win it back?
2
Have you hidden from family or friends how much you're betting?
3
Have you used household money or borrowed funds to place bets?
4
Do you feel restless or irritable when you're not betting?
5
Have you tried to cut back or stop betting but couldn't?
6
Does betting feel more important than work, family, or sleep?

If you answered "Yes" to 3 or more questions, activate Self-Exclusion or a Cooling-Off Period right now and speak with our Support team.

What Are the Warning Signs of a Problem?

Problem gambling develops gradually — not overnight. Watch out for these warning signs:

  • Chasing losses: Wanting to place larger and larger bets after each loss to win it back.
  • Financial Strain: Cutting back on bills or household expenses to fund betting.
  • Emotional distress: Feeling irritable or anxious when you're not betting.
  • Impact on relationships: Neglecting responsibilities toward family, friends, or work.
  • Sleep & health deterioration: You can't sleep from thinking about betting, or you forget to eat.
  • Concealment: Hiding the amount or time spent betting from family.
  • Escalating Risk: Feeling the need to place increasingly larger bets just to get the same thrill.
  • Loss of control: You want to stop but can't — you keep coming back.

Responsible Gaming — The 88bet Way

Online betting is a form of entertainment — 88bet wants it to stay enjoyable for everyone. But the reality is, for some people, gaming can sometimes spiral out of control. That's not a moral failing — it's a psychosocial issue that can affect anyone. At 88bet, responsible gaming isn't a box to tick; it's a core part of who we are.

The first and most important rule of responsible gaming is to only bet money that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. Just as you'd set a budget for a night out at the cinema or a restaurant, set one for betting too. When that budget is gone, stop — don't chase it by putting in more.

That's exactly what 88bet's Deposit Limit feature is designed for. You decide the maximum amount you'll deposit per day, week, or month. Once set, it cannot be overridden — the system enforces it automatically. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 72-hour waiting period — a deliberate safeguard.

Trying to recover losses by betting more is called "chasing losses" — and it's one of the clearest signs of problem gambling. Keep this in mind: once a bet is lost, that money is gone. There's no rule that says the next bet will bring it back. Every bet is independent — losing the previous one does not increase your chances of winning the next. Keeping this in mind greatly reduces the risk of falling into the chasing losses trap.

Betting while in an emotional or mental low is dangerous. Placing bets when you're angry, sad, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol impairs your judgment and makes sound decision-making nearly impossible. If you're tired or not in a good headspace, step away from betting — that's exactly the right time to activate a cooling-off period.

Being open with your family is a big part of responsible gaming. There's no need to hide your betting — it's a legitimate form of entertainment. But if you find yourself starting to conceal it from the people closest to you, that's a sign things may be getting out of hand. Talk to a trusted family member.

88bet understands that problem gambling doesn't make someone a bad person. Our goal is to support — not judge. If you request self-exclusion, it's actioned immediately, no questions asked. You don't need to give a reason, and there's nothing to be ashamed of — it takes courage.

Responsible gaming means you enjoy betting — but betting doesn't control you. Have fun, feel the excitement — but always remember that the things that matter most in life — family, health, work, and peace of mind — are far more valuable than any bet.

FAQ

What Users Most Want to Know

KYC (Know Your Customer) verification at 88bet typically involves two steps. The first is identity verification — you'll need to submit a clear photo or scan of your National ID (NID), passport, or driving licence. The second is address verification — a photo of a utility bill, bank statement, or official government document may be required (not always). Submitting documents is straightforward: log in to your account, go to your profile or the verification section, and upload your document photos. Verification is usually completed within 24–48 hours. You can continue betting while verification is in progress, but withdrawals will be on hold until it's complete. Once KYC is done, you won't need to do it again. If a photo is unclear or a document has expired, you may be asked to resubmit — the support team will let you know.

There are several reasons your account may be locked. The most common is entering the wrong password multiple times, which triggers the security system to temporarily lock your account. In most cases, waiting 30–60 minutes or resetting your password will resolve the issue. Other reasons may include a pending KYC verification, a flagged suspicious transaction, or a reported violation of our terms. If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" option on the login page — an OTP will be sent to your registered number. Enter it to set a new password. If the OTP doesn't arrive or your account remains locked for another reason, contact us via live chat or at support@88bet-bd.com — our support team will verify the situation and get it sorted quickly.
