88hb Responsible Gaming

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

Gambling Should Always Be Fun

88hb is built for players who want to enjoy cricket betting, live casino, slots, and other games as a leisure activity. We understand that for the vast majority of our players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and across Bangladesh, gambling is exactly that — an occasional thrill, a way to enjoy BPL or T20 matches a little more, or an evening's entertainment after a long day. We are committed to keeping it that way.

However, we also know that for a small number of people gambling can become problematic. Problem gambling can place serious strain on personal finances, relationships, and mental health. 88hb takes this seriously. We invest in responsible gaming tools, train our support team to recognise signs of problem gambling, and make it as easy as possible for any player to access help, set limits, or step away from gambling — no questions asked.

Deposit Limits — Stay in Control of Your Spending

The deposit limit tool allows you to set a maximum amount that can be deposited into your 88hb account within a defined time window. You can set any of the following limit types via your account settings after logging in:

• Daily deposit limit — a cap on the total amount you may deposit in any single calendar day (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).
• Weekly deposit limit — a cap on the total amount you may deposit across any rolling 7-day period, resetting at midnight BST every Monday.
• Reducing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. Any reduction you apply will be active from the moment you save it, with no delay or cooling-off period required to lower the limit.
• Increasing a deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period. This delay is intentional — it prevents impulsive decisions made during a session from overriding the responsible limits you set when you were thinking clearly.

Cool-Off Period — Take a Short Break

A cool-off period temporarily suspends your ability to log in and place bets on 88hb for a fixed duration that you choose. Your account balance is fully preserved during the cool-off period, and access is restored automatically when the period ends. There are three cool-off durations available:

• 24-hour cool-off — access restored automatically the following day at the same time you activated the cool-off.
• 7-day cool-off — access restored automatically after exactly seven days from the time of activation.
• 30-day cool-off — access restored automatically after thirty days. This option is recommended for players who feel they need a more meaningful pause before deciding whether to continue playing.

A cool-off period is not the same as self-exclusion. It is a temporary measure. If you feel that you need to stop gambling permanently, self-exclusion is the appropriate tool — see the section below for details.

Self-Exclusion — A Permanent Exit

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available at 88hb. When you self-exclude, your account is permanently closed, all future login attempts are blocked, and you will no longer receive any promotional communications from 88hb. Self-exclusion is designed to be permanent and is not reversible through the standard account settings interface.

To apply for self-exclusion, contact the 88hb support team directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and include your registered mobile number. Our team will process the request promptly and confirm by return email once the exclusion is in place. Any pending withdrawals at the time of self-exclusion will be processed and paid out in the normal way.

Is Gambling Becoming a Problem?

Problem gambling does not always look the same. It can develop gradually and is not always about the amount of money spent — it is about the relationship a person has with gambling and how it affects the rest of their life. The following signs may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful:

If any of these signs feel familiar, please reach out to the 88hb support team or consider using the self-exclusion tool. There is no judgment from us — we simply want to help. Our support team is trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with sensitivity and discretion.

Strict 21+ Age Verification at 88hb

88hb is an adult entertainment platform. Players must be 21 years of age or older to register, deposit, and play. This is a firm requirement and is not negotiable under any circumstances. Age verification is performed at two stages: first, at the point of registration, where players are required to confirm their date of birth; and second, during our KYC process, where players are required to submit a valid government-issued identity document confirming their age before they can make a withdrawal.

If a player is found to be under the age of 21 at any point — whether through KYC review, a report from a concerned family member, or any other means — their account will be closed immediately, all deposits will be refunded, and any winnings will be voided. Parents and guardians who are concerned that a person under 21 in their care may have registered on 88hb should contact [email protected] immediately.

Tips for Playing Responsibly at 88hb

• Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it. Decide in advance how much you are prepared to lose and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment — not as an investment you expect to recover.
• Never gamble with money you need for essential expenses such as rent, groceries, utility bills, school fees, or repayment of debt. Only play with money that is genuinely discretionary.
• Take regular breaks during a gaming session. Step away from the screen every 30 to 45 minutes. Use the session-reminder feature in your account settings to help you keep track.
• Do not chase losses. If you have reached your session budget, stop. The odds are that continuing to play to recover losses will result in further losses. Chasing losses is one of the most reliable indicators that gambling is shifting from recreation to compulsion.
• Avoid gambling when you are feeling stressed, sad, angry, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair decision-making and can lead to bets being placed that you would not make in a calm, clear-headed state.
• Talk to someone you trust. If you feel that gambling is affecting your life or the life of someone close to you, sharing that concern with a trusted friend, family member, or professional counsellor is an important first step. You do not have to manage this alone.
