Responsible Gaming
at 88df Bangladesh
88df believes that entertainment should always come first. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, knowledge and support to stay in control — from daily deposit limits and cooling-off periods to full self-exclusion options. Your wellbeing is our priority, always.
Gaming Should Be Fun — Not a Problem
At 88df, we are fully committed to providing a safe, fair and enjoyable betting environment for all players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka to Chittagong, Sylhet to Cox's Bazar. While the vast majority of our players enjoy cricket betting, slots and live casino games purely for entertainment, we recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can become more than a pastime.
Problem gambling is a recognised condition that can affect players of any background. It does not discriminate by income, education or experience. The signs can be subtle at first — chasing losses, spending more time than planned, or neglecting other responsibilities in favour of betting. If any of these patterns sound familiar, 88df has the tools to help you regain control right away.
Our responsible gaming programme is built around three core principles: prevention, player empowerment and support. We provide every registered 88df player with a comprehensive suite of account management tools to set their own personal limits and take breaks whenever needed. All tools are available immediately through your account dashboard, with no waiting period.
The minimum age to gamble on the 88df platform is 21 years. This rule is strictly enforced through our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. If you believe a minor is accessing the 88df platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take action without delay.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
88df provides every registered player with a full set of tools to manage their activity, set personal boundaries and take a break whenever they need one.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly or monthly basis directly from your 88df account dashboard. Once a deposit limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increases to limits are subject to a 24-hour cooling period before they become active, protecting you from impulsive decisions during a session.
Session Time Limits
Control how long you spend on the 88df platform in a single session by setting a session time limit. When your chosen time is reached, you will receive a clear on-screen notification and, if you have enabled automatic logout, you will be signed out until the next session window opens. This tool is especially useful for cricket betting sessions during BPL or T20 matches.
Cooling-Off Period
Need a short break from the 88df platform without committing to a longer exclusion? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, place bets or make deposits. The period cannot be shortened once activated.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is having a significant negative impact on your life, 88df's self-exclusion tool allows you to block access to your account for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years or 5 years. During self-exclusion, 88df will not send you any marketing communications and all promotional offers will be suspended automatically.
Permanent Account Closure
If you decide that you no longer wish to use 88df at any point in the future, you may request a permanent account closure. This is an irreversible action. Once permanently closed, your account cannot be reopened. Any remaining verified balance will be returned to your bKash, Nagad or bank account after standard withdrawal processing.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, 88df allows you to set a maximum net loss threshold over a daily, weekly or monthly period. If you reach your loss limit, your ability to place further bets is automatically paused for the remainder of that period. This tool adds an extra layer of financial protection beyond deposit controls alone.
Activating Your Protection Tools
All responsible gaming tools on the 88df platform are available through your account settings. Here is a step-by-step guide to activating each protection feature:
-
1Log in to your 88df account — access the platform at 88df.io and sign in with your registered email address and password.
-
2Navigate to Account Settings — click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Responsible Gaming" from the account settings menu.
-
3Select your tool — choose from Deposit Limits, Loss Limits, Session Time Limits, Cooling-Off Period or Self-Exclusion depending on your needs.
-
4Configure your settings — enter the limit amount or select the exclusion period. Review the terms for the chosen tool carefully before confirming.
-
5Confirm activation — click "Save" or "Confirm". Limits that reduce your activity take effect immediately. Increases take effect after a 24-hour review period.
-
6Contact support if needed — if you cannot access your account settings or require urgent assistance activating a self-exclusion, contact the 88df support team at [email protected] 24/7 in English.
Everything You Need to Know
Expand each section below to learn more about how each responsible gaming tool works at 88df.
Deposit limits allow you to control the total amount you can deposit into your 88df account within a set time frame. You can set limits across three periods:
- Daily limit: Maximum total deposits within a 24-hour rolling window (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).
- Weekly limit: Maximum total deposits within a 7-day rolling window.
- Monthly limit: Maximum total deposits within a 30-day rolling window.
Reductions to deposit limits are applied immediately. Any request to increase a deposit limit will be subject to a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before the new (higher) limit becomes active. This prevents impulsive decisions made during a gambling session from immediately overriding your protections.
A cooling-off period is a short-term break from the 88df platform. Available durations are:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
- 30 days
During a cooling-off period your account is suspended. You cannot log in, deposit, withdraw or place bets. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled or shortened once activated. All pending bets placed before the period started will be settled normally, and winnings will be available for withdrawal when the period ends.
Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure for players who feel they need a significant break from gambling. 88df offers self-exclusion periods of:
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 2 years
- 5 years
Once self-exclusion is activated, 88df will immediately close your account to new bets and deposits. All marketing communications will cease. Any verified remaining balance can be withdrawn. The self-exclusion period cannot be reduced or cancelled. If you attempt to re-register during your exclusion period, 88df will close the new account. At the end of your exclusion period, you must actively request account reinstatement — it will not reopen automatically.
Session time limits allow you to cap how long you spend on 88df in any single login session. You can set a maximum session duration of between 30 minutes and 8 hours. When your set time is reached:
- You will receive a pop-up notification reminding you that your session limit has been reached.
- If you have selected automatic logout, your session will end and you will need to log in again to continue.
- Any open bets will continue to run and will be settled normally.
Session time limits are a lightweight but effective tool for maintaining healthy play habits, particularly during long cricket matches or extended BPL tournament sessions.

Ask Yourself These Questions
The following questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your gambling habits. There are no right or wrong answers — this is for your benefit only.
Responsible Gaming Self-Check

- After losing money, have you immediately returned to gambling with the goal of winning back what you lost?
- Have you ever lied to a family member, friend or employer about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
- Have you noticed that gambling takes up a significant portion of your thoughts throughout the day, even when you are not actively playing?
- Have you ever borrowed money, sold personal items or taken a loan specifically to fund gambling activity?

- Has gambling ever caused conflict in your personal relationships, employment or academic performance?
Strict 21+ Policy at 88df
88df enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players in Bangladesh. This is not simply a policy statement — it is actively enforced through our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process, which requires every player to submit valid government-issued identification before withdrawals are processed and before full account access is granted.
Acceptable forms of identification include a National Identity Card (NID), valid passport, or driving licence. All documents are verified against government records and cross-checked with the date of birth provided during registration. Accounts where age cannot be verified will be suspended pending document submission.
If you are a parent or guardian and you suspect that a person under 21 in your household has accessed the 88df platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action, including account suspension and refund of any deposits made by a verified minor.
-
1Registration: Players provide their date of birth during account creation. Accounts opened with a date of birth under 21 are automatically blocked.
-
2KYC Document Submission: Before the first withdrawal, players must submit a government-issued ID (NID, passport or driving licence) showing date of birth.
-
3Verification Review: Our compliance team reviews submitted documents within 24–48 hours. Deposits are held pending verification if age cannot be confirmed.
-
4Ongoing Monitoring: 88df reserves the right to request additional verification at any time. Accounts flagged for suspicious age-related activity will be suspended pending review.
