Player Safety First

Responsible Gaming
Play Smart. Stay in Control.

At 88f, we believe that gaming should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player the tools, knowledge, and support needed to keep their experience positive, safe, and within healthy boundaries.

The 88f platform is exclusively available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We apply robust age verification procedures at account registration and at the point of withdrawal. Any account found to be held by a person under the legal minimum age will be closed immediately and all associated balances forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions. If you are concerned that a minor is using the platform, contact us immediately at [email protected].

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming is the set of principles, practices, and tools that help players maintain a healthy relationship with online gambling. At 88f, we are deeply committed to fostering a gaming environment in which every registered player from Dhaka to Chittagong, from Sylhet to Cox's Bazar, can enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and slots as a leisure activity — while staying fully in control of the time and money they spend.

Gambling, by its nature, carries financial risk. There is no strategy, system, or pattern that guarantees a win. Every game of chance — whether it is a slot spin, a live roulette round, or a cricket match wager — carries the possibility of loss. Responsible gaming means accepting this reality and setting clear personal limits before placing a single bet.

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, education, or background. The early signs are often subtle: chasing losses, gambling with money set aside for rent or household expenses, or feeling anxious or irritable when unable to access the platform. 88f provides a comprehensive suite of player-protection tools specifically designed to help you recognise these warning signs and take action before a problem escalates.

Important Reminder: Gambling is not a way to earn income or solve financial difficulties. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please seek assistance from a qualified financial counsellor rather than using 88f as a source of funds. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

All responsible gaming tools available on 88f are completely free to use and can be activated instantly from within your Account settings or by contacting our support team. There is no fee, no waiting period, and no judgement — we simply want every player to have a safe, enjoyable, and sustainable experience on our platform.

Quick Self-Assessment

If you answer "yes" to two or more of the following questions, we strongly encourage you to use one of our player-protection tools or contact our support team for guidance.

1

Do you find yourself spending more money on gambling than you originally intended?

2

Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult to do so?

3

Do you gamble to escape personal problems, stress, or negative emotions?

4

Have you borrowed money, sold assets, or neglected bills in order to gamble?

5

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to access the platform?

6

Have friends or family expressed concern about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?

7

Do you find yourself chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money you have already lost?

You are not alone. If any of these questions resonated with you, reach out to our support team at [email protected]. We are here to help — without judgement.

Six Ways 88f Keeps You in Control

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the total amount you can deposit into your 88f account via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank transfer. Once you reach your chosen limit, no further deposits are accepted until the limit period resets. Increases to your deposit limit take effect after a mandatory cooling-off period, while decreases are applied immediately — giving you full, asymmetric control.

Session Time Limits

Define the maximum length of a single gaming session. When your chosen time is reached, 88f will display a prominent reminder prompt and, if configured, automatically end your active session. Regularly reviewing your session duration helps prevent the "time distortion" effect that can occur during extended gambling activity — keeping you grounded and aware of how long you have been playing.

Time-Out (Cool-Off)

A time-out temporarily suspends your 88f account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to six weeks. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. You may still withdraw any remaining balance. Time-outs are ideal for players who want a short break without committing to a full self-exclusion. Once a time-out is set, it cannot be cancelled before the chosen period expires.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a longer-term account suspension available for periods of six months, one year, two years, or permanently. A self-excluded account cannot be reactivated until the chosen period has elapsed, and a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period applies before any reactivation request is processed. To activate self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". All self-exclusion decisions are respected unconditionally.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss threshold for any given day, week, or month. If your losses reach the limit you have set, further wagers are blocked for the remainder of that period. Loss limits are a powerful tool for budget-conscious players who want an automated financial safety net. Like deposit limits, decreases take effect immediately and increases require a cooling-off period before coming into force.

Reality Checks

Enable on-screen reality check reminders at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each reminder displays your net session result and total time spent playing, helping you make an informed decision about whether to continue or log off. Reality checks are particularly effective during live casino sessions and extended slots play, where the immersive experience can otherwise make time pass unnoticed.

Recognising a Problem

Gambling problems rarely develop overnight. They typically build gradually, making them easy to minimise or overlook in the early stages. Being honest with yourself about your gambling behaviour is the most important first step toward regaining control.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • Spending more than you planned on a regular basis
  • Gambling to recover previous losses ("chasing losses")
  • Neglecting work, family, or social commitments because of gambling
  • Hiding your gambling activity from people close to you
  • Feeling guilt, shame, or anxiety about how much you gamble
  • Using gambling as a coping mechanism for stress or emotional distress
  • Borrowing money specifically to fund gambling activity

Immediate Steps You Can Take

  1. Activate a time-out or self-exclusion via your account settings
  2. Contact 88f support at [email protected] for confidential assistance
  3. Speak with a trusted friend, family member, or counsellor
  4. Reach out to a professional gambling support organisation
  5. Review and reduce your deposit and loss limits immediately

Seeking Help is a Sign of Strength. If gambling is affecting your wellbeing or the wellbeing of those around you, reaching out for support is the right and responsible decision. 88f's support team is available around the clock and will treat your enquiry with complete confidentiality and respect.

How 88f Supports Responsible Gaming

Age Verification and Minor Protection

88f enforces a strict 18+ policy across all areas of the platform. During account registration, players are required to declare that they are aged 18 or above. This declaration is followed by a formal Know Your Customer (KYC) process that includes verification of a government-issued identity document — such as a Bangladesh National ID card, passport, or driver's licence — before any withdrawal can be processed.

If 88f has reasonable grounds to suspect that an account holder is under the age of 18, the account will be suspended pending verification. During the suspension period, deposits will be frozen and no withdrawals will be permitted until identity and age have been confirmed. Any balance deposited by a verified underage player will be returned to the originating payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account) after the account is closed.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians in Bangladesh to make use of parental control software and to have open conversations with young people about the risks associated with online gambling.

Marketing and Advertising Standards

88f is committed to marketing its services in a responsible manner. All promotional communications — including bonus offers, seasonal promotions (such as Eid specials or BPL cricket season campaigns), and re-engagement messages — are targeted exclusively at registered adult players who have opted in to receiving marketing communications.

We do not advertise to individuals who have activated self-exclusion or time-out protections. Once a self-exclusion is in place, marketing communications to that account cease immediately and remain suspended for the full duration of the exclusion period.

Staff Training and Responsible Gaming Culture

Every member of the 88f customer support team receives dedicated responsible gaming training, equipping them to identify players who may be showing signs of distress or problem gambling behaviour and to respond with empathy, sensitivity, and practical guidance. Our support staff are trained to initiate responsible gaming conversations proactively — not only when a player raises the topic themselves.

Responsible gaming is not a box-ticking exercise at 88f — it is a core operational value that informs how we design products, configure promotional offers, and interact with players at every touchpoint. We regularly review our responsible gaming tools and policies to align with best practice standards and to ensure they remain genuinely effective for our player community across Bangladesh.

Financial Safety and Deposit Security

All player funds deposited into an 88f account are held separately from operational business funds. Player balances are available for withdrawal at any time, subject to verification requirements. We never use player deposits for operational expenses, ensuring your funds are always accessible when you need them.

All deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard, Dutch-Bangla Bank, and City Bank are processed through SSL-encrypted channels. Transaction records are maintained securely and are accessible to you at all times through your account transaction history.

SSL Security: Every data exchange between your device and the 88f platform is protected by industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption, keeping your personal and financial information safe at all times.
