88ab believes entertainment is best enjoyed when it's controlled and mindful. Our responsible play policy is dedicated to giving you a healthy and enjoyable gaming experience.
88ab is an entertainment platform offering Sports Betting, slots, bingo, Fish Game, and more. We believe gaming is most enjoyable when played mindfully — within your own budget and time. Responsible play isn't just about following rules; it's a mindset and a way of life.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in popularity across Bangladesh. Many people enjoy playing games in their free time or with friends. But sometimes what starts as entertainment can turn into a habit that causes real problems. 88ab's responsible gaming policy is designed to raise awareness and help players stay in control.
To support responsible gaming at 88ab, we offer a range of technical tools and human assistance. If you ever feel that gaming is negatively affecting your life, family, or finances, reach out to us right away — we're here for you.
The core principle of responsible play is this: gaming is always for entertainment, never as a source of income. Chasing losses with bigger bets is never the right call. Set a clear budget and time limit before you play, and stick to them. 88ab is here to help you set those limits and keep to them.
Please note that only players aged 18 and above are permitted to create an account and play on 88ab. Access by minors is strictly prohibited and is a non-negotiable part of our policy.
Responsible play isn't just a policy — it's at the heart of everything 88ab does. Our support team is always ready to help ensure you have a healthy gaming experience.
88ab provides the following tools to help you stay in control of your gaming.
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits take effect immediately once set, and can only be increased after a 7-day waiting period.
Set a time limit for each gaming session. After the set time, you'll receive an automatic reminder so you can take a break.
If you feel you need a break from gaming, you can activate self-exclusion for any period between 1 week and 5 years. During this time, access to your account will be completely suspended.
If you lose beyond a set amount, your game will stop automatically. This feature protects your budget from uncontrolled losses.
Temporarily pause your account for 7 to 30 days. During this period, no deposits or bets can be placed, though you will still be able to view your balance.
Turn off promotional emails and notifications. Fewer gaming-related prompts make it easier to maintain healthy habits.
Go to your account settings to activate these tools, or email us directly at [email protected].
If you or someone close to you is showing the following signs, seeking support is important.
Continuously raising your bets to chase lost money — with the recurring thought that "one more round" will turn things around.
Lying to family, friends, or colleagues to make time for gaming, or playing in secret.
Spending beyond your set budget and playing for longer than planned.
Being unable to stop gaming — repeatedly returning despite attempts to quit.
Running short on money for daily household expenses, debt repayments, or emergencies because of gaming.
Feeling restless, irritable, or uncomfortable when unable to play.
Prioritising gaming over sleep, food, or work, to the point where normal daily life is disrupted.
Borrowing money or facing financial strain to fund gaming.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, there's no need to feel ashamed. This is a common issue and recovery is possible with the right support. Reach out to us today.
