Our Responsible Gaming Features

88db provides a range of effective tools to help keep your gaming experience safe and in control.

Set a Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit carries a 24-hour delay — to prevent impulsive decisions.

Time Control

Your session will end automatically when the time limit is up. Timer alerts remind you how long you've been playing — the simplest way to build healthier gaming habits.

Cool-Down Break

Take a gaming break anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks to clear your head. You won't be able to log in during this period. This feature can be used at any time, for any reason.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, you can set a permanent self-exclusion lasting from 3 months up to 5 years. During this period, your account will be completely inactive and opening a new account will not be possible.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss amount for a given period in advance. Once you reach that limit, 88db will automatically prevent further betting. It's an effective tool for protecting your finances.

Reality Check

Once your set time or spending limit is reached, 88db will display an on-screen alert. This prompt helps you step back and make a more informed decision.

Responsible Gaming What It Is and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming as entertainment — not as a source of income or a way to solve problems. At 88db, we believe every player deserves a positive and safe gaming experience. That is a commitment we stand behind at all times.

Many people don't realize when gaming shifts from a hobby to a problem. Bets gradually increase, and losses lead to chasing — that's how a dangerous cycle begins. 88db's responsible gaming policy is designed to help break that cycle.

Responsible gaming on our platform is not just a policy — it's part of how we operate every day. For every member, we ensure personalized protection tools, expert support, and transparent information. Because we want you to keep playing with a smile today and every day after.

Keep in Mind: Gaming is never a solution to your financial problems. If you feel you're placing bets to escape financial pressure — take a break immediately and contact our support team.

Setting Limits Simple Guide

The first step to responsible gaming at 88db is setting realistic limits. Follow the step-by-step guide below.

1
Set a Monthly Entertainment Budget

Start by subtracting all essential expenses from your monthly income. At most, 5–10% of what's left can go toward your gaming budget. Never exceed that amount.

2
Split Your Daily and Weekly Limits

Divide your monthly budget by 4 for weekly limits and by 30 for daily limits. Lock these limits in your 88db settings.

3
Set a Time Limit

Decide how many hours you will play each day. As a general guide, more than 1-2 hours of gaming per day is not considered healthy.

4
Review Regularly

Review your gaming habits once a month. Lower your limits if needed — and think twice before raising them.

Example: A Balanced Set of Healthy Limits
Daily Deposit Limit500 BDT
Weekly Loss Limit2,000 BDT
Daily Time Limit2 Hours

This is just an example. Set your limits based on your own real-life circumstances.
