Six ways to keep yourself safe

These tools on 88bet aren't just there for show — they work, and you can access them anytime from your account settings.

Deposit Limit

Set a cap on how much you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Loss Limit

Decide in advance how much you're willing to lose within a given period. Once that limit is reached, betting stops automatically — no exceptions.

Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how long you can play in a single session. When the time is up, you'll receive a notification prompting you to end the session. Take a break and stay refreshed.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a gaming break lasting anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this period, you can still log in to your account but will not be able to place bets or make deposits. Normal access resumes only once the period has ended.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool for taking an extended break. Once activated, your account cannot be reopened before the chosen period ends — even if you request it.

Reality check

After a set amount of time or spending, 88bet automatically sends you an alert — showing how long you've been playing and how much you've lost. It's a reality check to help bring you back on track.

Keep in mind: Betting is a form of entertainment — not a source of income. If you ever feel like you're losing control, use the support options listed at the bottom of this page.

1 What Responsible Gaming Means

Responsible gaming doesn't mean you can't bet or have fun. It means playing with awareness — knowing your limits and sticking to them. Think of it like placing friendly bets on a cricket match: only risk what you can comfortably lose without it affecting your life.

88bet believes that genuine enjoyment comes from staying in control. That's why responsible gaming isn't just a page on our platform — it's built into every layer of how we operate. Our system automatically alerts users when unusual betting patterns are detected. Setting account limits takes just a single click. And if you reach out to support, help is available in Bangla.

Betting addiction is a real issue that can affect many families. There's no shame in acknowledging it. Someone who can say "I need to take a break" is showing real courage. 88bet respects that courage and is ready to offer every form of support.

A simple rule: Never bet money that, if lost, would keep you up at night or strain your household. Set aside a separate entertainment budget — and stay within it.

3 Recognising the Warning Signs

Betting addiction rarely develops overnight — it's a gradual process where the habit slowly slips out of control. If you notice even one of the signs below in yourself, pause and seek help.

Chasing losses with more bets

Chasing a loss by betting more with the mindset of "I'll win it back this time" is one of the most common yet dangerous warning signs. Trying to recover losses almost always leads to even greater ones.

Playing far longer than the time you set for yourself

If "just five more minutes" keeps turning into hours — and this pattern repeats — it's time to take it seriously.

Hiding gambling activity from family and friends

A strong warning sign is the urge to hide how much you're playing or losing from the people close to you.

Feeling restless or irritable when not betting

If you feel uncomfortable, angry, or anxious when you can't play — that's a clear sign of addiction.

Using household or emergency funds for betting

If money meant for rent, your children's education, or food is going towards betting, please seek help immediately.

Gradually increasing bet sizes chasing the thrill

Needing to place increasingly larger bets to feel the same excitement is a sign of growing tolerance.


4 Smart Budget Management

The most effective responsible gaming practice is setting a budget before you start. It doesn't have to be complicated — a little planning goes a long way.

How to build a monthly entertainment budget:

  • Start by subtracting all your essential monthly expenses — rent, groceries, transport, and your children's education.
  • From what's left, set aside a small portion for entertainment — covering things like cinema, dining out, and betting combined.
  • Use only a fixed portion of that entertainment budget for betting — no more than 20–30%.
  • Set that amount as your Deposit Limit on 88bet.

For example: if your monthly income is ৳30,000, after essential expenses you might have around ৳5,000 for entertainment. From that ৳5,000, allocating ৳1,000–1,500 for betting is a reasonable monthly Deposit Limit. Even if that money is lost, your day-to-day life won't be affected — that's what an entertainment budget looks like.

Some practical tips for sticking to your budget:

  • Before betting, commit to yourself that this money is purely for entertainment — with no expectation of getting it back.
  • If you win, treat it as a bonus. If you lose, treat it as money spent on entertainment — just like buying a cinema ticket.
  • On a good day when you come out ahead, cash out and call it a day.
  • At the end of each month, review your betting history — how much you spent and how much you enjoyed it. Use that to set your budget for the following month.

If you have a teenager or young person at home, it's worth taking a few precautions:

How would you describe your gaming habits?

Ask yourself this one simple question — and be honest.

In the past month, have you ever felt like you were losing control over your betting or gaming?

No, not at all — everything is fine
It has crossed my mind occasionally, but it's not a serious concern
Yes, I find it quite hard to stay in control sometimes

Want to know more?

88bet is primarily built with Bangladeshi users in mind, so Bengali is the default language. However, it is also possible to use the platform in English. To switch languages, log in to your account and look for a language selection option in the top-right corner or within the Settings menu — from there, choose either "Bengali" or "English." This option is available in the mobile app as well — simply tap the Settings icon and navigate to the Language section. One thing to keep in mind is that games provided by third-party game providers (such as slots or live casino games) may not always be available in Bengali, as those are developed by external parties. However, 88bet's own interface — including the menu, payments, bonus section, and support — is fully available in Bengali. If you are unable to change the language due to a technical issue, please reach out via live chat.

Calculating a bonus wagering requirement might seem tricky at first, but it's actually straightforward. Say you deposit ৳1,000 and receive a 100% bonus, bringing your balance to ৳2,000. If the wagering requirement is 20x, the calculation is: bonus amount (৳1,000) × 20 = ৳20,000. This means you need to place a total of ৳20,000 in bets before you can withdraw the bonus funds. Some bonuses apply the wagering requirement to both the deposit and the bonus combined, in which case it would be (৳1,000 + ৳1,000) × 20 = ৳40,000. Every bonus offer clearly states its wagering requirement. You can view the full details on the Bonus page or by clicking the "Terms & Conditions" link when claiming a bonus. Keep in mind — not all games contribute equally toward wagering. Sports Betting typically counts at 100%, while some slots may count at 50% or less. This is also specified in the bonus terms. If anything seems off in the calculation, ask support — they'll explain it to you in Bengali.
