Responsible Gaming at 88hba — Play Within Your Limits
88hba is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable experience for every player in Bangladesh. Gambling is entertainment — and we want to keep it that way for you.
At 88hba, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable leisure activity — never a source of financial stress, anxiety, or harm. We serve players across Bangladesh, from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet and Cox's Bazar, and our responsibility to every one of those players extends beyond just providing games. We actively invest in tools, policies, and support pathways that help our players stay in control and recognise when play may be becoming a problem.
Responsible gaming is not just a compliance checkbox for 88hba — it is a core part of how we operate and how we treat the people who trust us with their time and money. This page outlines the tools available to you, the warning signs of problem gambling to watch for, and how to reach support if you or someone you know needs help. We also strongly recommend that players set personal limits before beginning to play, revisit those limits regularly, and never gamble with money that is needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, school fees, bKash repayments, or family obligations.
Responsible Gaming Tools at 88hba
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly in your account settings. Once set, limits take effect immediately and can only be reduced — not increased — without a mandatory review period.
Session Time Limits
Control how long you play in a single session. When your set session time is reached, you will receive a notification reminding you that your time limit has been hit. Taking regular breaks improves decision-making.
Self-Exclusion
Request a voluntary self-exclusion period of 30, 90, or 180 days, or a permanent self-exclusion. During this period your account is suspended and you cannot deposit, bet, or access games on the 88hba platform.
Cooling-Off Period
Need a short break without full self-exclusion? Activate a 24-hour, 48-hour, or 7-day cooling-off period. Your account is temporarily paused, giving you time to step away and reassess.
Reality Checks
Enable on-screen reality check pop-ups at customisable intervals (e.g. every 30 or 60 minutes) that display your session duration and net win or loss, helping you stay aware of time and spend.
24/7 Support
Our support team is available around the clock via live chat on the platform. If you are struggling with your gambling or need help activating any responsible gaming tool, reach out immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Gambling with money that is set aside for essential expenses such as rent, utility bills, school fees, or daily food.
- Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.
- Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money is spent on gambling.
- Feeling restless, irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling, or when attempts are made to cut back.
- Gambling for increasingly longer periods or with increasingly larger amounts than originally intended.
- Borrowing money, taking out loans, or using credit to fund gambling activity.
- Neglecting work, study, family responsibilities, or personal health in favour of gambling.
How to Use 88hba's Responsible Gaming Tools
Setting a Deposit Limit
Log in to your 88hba account and go to Account Settings. Under the Responsible Gaming section, select Deposit Limits and choose your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly cap. Enter the amount in BDT (Bangladeshi Taka) and confirm. The limit applies to all deposit methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay. A lower limit takes effect immediately; a higher limit requires a 7-day cooling period before it becomes active.
Activating a Cooling-Off Period
In your Account Settings, locate the Responsible Gaming panel and select Cooling-Off Period. Choose a duration of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. Once activated, the cooling-off period begins immediately and cannot be cancelled early. During this time you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets on 88hba.
Requesting Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion can be activated via Account Settings under Responsible Gaming, or by contacting 88hba support directly through the platform's live chat. You can choose a period of 30, 90, or 180 days, or apply for a permanent self-exclusion. Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible — your account will be closed and you will not be permitted to open a new account on the platform. All pending withdrawals will be processed to your registered bKash or Nagad account before closure.
Enabling Reality Checks
In your Account Settings, go to Responsible Gaming and enable Reality Checks. Set your preferred reminder interval — 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 2 hours. When the interval is reached during active play, a pop-up will display your current session length, total amount wagered, and net result, giving you a clear picture of your current session before you decide whether to continue.
Setting Loss Limits
Loss limits restrict the maximum amount you can lose over a defined period. Set a daily, weekly, or monthly loss limit in BDT via your Account Settings. Once your loss limit is reached in a given period, your account will be automatically locked for betting until the period resets. As with deposit limits, reductions take effect immediately while increases require a mandatory 7-day review period.
Getting Help — You Are Not Alone
If you feel that gambling has started to have a negative effect on your life, your finances, your relationships, or your mental wellbeing, it is important to seek help as soon as possible. Problem gambling can affect anyone — it is not a sign of weakness, and there is no shame in asking for support. The 88hba support team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, via the live chat facility on the platform.
If you have a family member or friend whose gambling behaviour concerns you, you are also welcome to contact the 88hba support team on their behalf. We can discuss the tools available and, where appropriate, take steps to protect the account in question while respecting privacy requirements.
88hba recommends that any player who feels gambling is becoming a problem also speaks with a trusted person in their life — a family member, a close friend, or a religious or community leader — about what they are experiencing. External support, combined with the tools available on 88hba, provides the strongest foundation for regaining control.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
88hba's responsible gaming commitment is built into every layer of the platform. Our systems actively monitor player behaviour for patterns that may indicate problem gambling, including unusually rapid increases in deposit frequency or size, extended session durations, and repeated activation of the chase-loss betting pattern. Where such patterns are detected, the 88hba responsible gaming team may reach out proactively to offer support and, where appropriate, apply protective measures to the account.
We do not target players who are in a self-exclusion or cooling-off period with promotional messages or bonus offers. We do not send unsolicited marketing communications to players who have opted out. We do not permit any player under the age of 21 to create or maintain an account on the 88hba platform, and we conduct age and identity verification on all accounts as part of our standard onboarding process.
88hba views responsible gaming not as a limitation on the player experience but as a foundation for it. A player who gambles within their means, with clear limits and full information, is a player who can genuinely enjoy what the 88hba platform has to offer — from cricket betting on BPL and T20 World Cup matches to live casino games and slots — without compromising the other priorities in their life. That is the kind of experience we are committed to enabling for every player in Bangladesh, every day.
Play Smart. Play Safe.
