Player Safety

Responsible Gaming at 88af

Gaming should be enjoyable, not harmful. 88af provides every player in Bangladesh with the tools and guidance to stay in control of their gaming activity at all times.

🔞 21+ Only This platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At 88af, responsible gaming is not a regulatory checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that every player deserves a safe, transparent, and controlled gaming environment. Our platform serves players across Bangladesh, from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Khulna, and Rajshahi, and we understand that for gaming to remain positive it must be approached with clear boundaries and an honest awareness of risk.

Online gaming — whether casino games, live dealer tables, cricket betting on BPL or T20 matches, or slots — involves real money and carries the inherent risk of financial loss. It is important that every player approaches the 88af platform as a form of entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to recover money lost in previous sessions. 88af provides a suite of responsible gaming tools that empower you to set limits, take breaks, and seek support whenever you need it.

Remember: Gaming is entertainment. Never chase losses, never borrow money to fund your gaming, and never gamble as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or personal difficulties. If gaming stops feeling fun, stop and reach out to our support team.

Responsible Gaming Tools

88af gives every registered player direct access to the following responsible gaming controls from their account dashboard. These tools are available at no cost and take effect immediately or within the timeframes described below.

💰

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit. Limits take effect immediately and can only be increased after a 24-hour cooling period.

⏱️

Time-Out

Take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended and cannot be reversed once set.

🚪

Self-Exclusion

Exclude yourself for 6 months, 1 year, or indefinitely. Marketing is paused, and re-activation requires a mandatory cooling-off review.

🔔

Reality Checks

Enable session time alerts that pop up at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — to remind you how long you have been playing.

📊

Activity History

Review your full bet history, win/loss summary, and session logs at any time from your account panel to maintain a clear picture of your activity.

🔒

Account Closure

Request permanent account closure at any time by contacting our 24/7 live chat. Remaining verified balances will be returned to your registered bKash or Nagad wallet.

Deposit Limits in Detail

Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for managing your spending on 88af. You can set a limit at any time, and the new limit takes effect immediately. If you wish to decrease your limit, the reduction applies straight away. If you wish to increase a limit you have previously set, a 24-hour waiting period applies before the increase takes effect — this cooling-off window is designed to give you time to reconsider.

Daily Limit Resets every 24 hours at midnight (BST)
Weekly Limit Resets every Monday at 00:00 BST
Monthly Limit Resets on the 1st of each calendar month
Increase Cooling Period 24 hours before any increase takes effect

To set or adjust a deposit limit, log in to your 88af account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. Our support team can also assist you in setting limits via 24/7 live chat.

Time-Out and Self-Exclusion

Time-Out

A time-out is a short-term break from the 88af platform. It is suitable for players who want to pause their gaming activity for a defined period without permanently closing their account. The following time-out periods are available:

  • 24-hour time-out: suitable for a single-day break. Account access is suspended immediately upon activation.
  • 7-day time-out: a one-week break. During this period, you will not receive any promotional communications from 88af.
  • 30-day time-out: a month-long pause. This is recommended for players who notice they are spending more time or money on gaming than intended.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a longer-term protective measure for players who feel they need a significant break from gaming or who are concerned about problem gambling behaviour. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours of submission and are not reversible during the exclusion period. Available self-exclusion periods are:

  • 6-month self-exclusion: a medium-term break recommended for players showing early signs of problematic gambling patterns.
  • 1-year self-exclusion: a full-year break. Your account will be suspended and no marketing will be sent to you throughout this period.
  • Indefinite self-exclusion: no fixed end date. Re-application to reactivate the account requires a minimum waiting period and a mandatory responsible gaming review by our team.
To activate self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Our team handles all self-exclusion requests with full confidentiality and without judgement.

Recognising Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. The signs are not always obvious, and many people who develop a gambling problem continue to function normally in daily life for some time before the impact becomes apparent. Being aware of the warning signs — for yourself or for someone close to you — is an important step in getting the right help early.

Warning: If gaming is affecting your finances, relationships, mental health, or work performance, these are serious signs that professional support may be needed. Please do not wait — contact our team or a local counselling service today.

Ask yourself — if you answer "yes" to two or more of these, consider reaching out for support:

Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned?
Do you find yourself trying to win back money you have already lost?
Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or neglected bills to fund your gaming?
Does gaming affect your sleep, work, studies, or family and social relationships?
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you try to cut down or stop gaming?
Do you use gaming as a way to escape from stress, personal problems, or negative emotions?

Answering honestly matters. 88af's responsible gaming tools are here for you, and so is our support team. There is no shame in recognising that gaming has become a problem — the important thing is taking action.

Protecting Young People

88af strictly requires all players to be 21 years of age or older. We take the protection of minors seriously and maintain active age-verification procedures as part of our KYC process. All new accounts are subject to identity and age verification before full platform access is granted. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 are closed immediately.

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls to prevent access to online gaming platforms. Bangladesh has a range of parental control tools available for Android and iOS devices that can restrict access to specific websites and applications.

  • Never share your 88af account login credentials with anyone, including family members or friends, to prevent unauthorised access by underage individuals.
  • Always log out of your 88af account when using a shared or public device. Enable two-factor authentication on your account for an additional layer of security.
  • If you suspect a minor has accessed or created an 88af account, report it to our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate and act without delay.
21+ Strictly Enforced: 88af uses document-based identity verification to confirm the age of every new account holder. Players who cannot confirm they are 21 or older will not be permitted to access the platform or process any financial transactions.

Healthy Gaming Habits

Most players on 88af enjoy gaming as a leisure activity without any difficulty. Maintaining a few simple habits helps keep it that way. The following guidelines are recommended for all 88af players:

  • Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it. Decide in advance the maximum amount you are comfortable losing in a single session, and stop when you reach that amount.
  • Treat gaming as entertainment, not as a financial strategy. Wins are never guaranteed, and the platform is designed for enjoyment, not profit generation.
  • Take regular breaks during gaming sessions. Use the reality check feature to set reminders, and step away from the platform for at least 15 minutes every hour.
  • Never play under the influence of alcohol or when you are feeling emotionally distressed. Impaired judgement increases the risk of making unplanned financial decisions.
  • Balance gaming with other leisure activities, social time, and responsibilities. Gaming should occupy a small, defined portion of your free time — not become the dominant activity.
  • Keep your account credentials private and never share your bKash or Nagad wallet PIN with anyone. Protect your financial accounts as seriously as you protect your gaming account.
