Play Smart, Play Safe
with 88bf Responsible Gaming
At 88bf, gambling is entertainment — and we are committed to keeping it that way. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control of their play at all times.
Gambling Should Always
Be Fun and Controlled
88bf was built on the principle that online gambling is a form of entertainment — nothing more and nothing less. For the vast majority of our players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and the rest of Bangladesh, a session on 88bf is an enjoyable way to unwind, follow a cricket match, or try their luck on a favourite slot title. We want every session to feel that way.
However, we also recognise that gambling carries real risks. For a small number of people, what begins as recreational play can develop into harmful behaviour that affects their finances, relationships, and mental wellbeing. 88bf takes this reality seriously. Our responsible gaming programme is not a legal checkbox — it is a genuine commitment backed by practical tools that every registered player can access at any time, free of charge.
This page explains who is eligible to play at 88bf, what protective tools are available to you, how to recognise the early warning signs of problem gambling, and where to turn if gambling is starting to feel like more than just a game. All support is available in English and Bengali, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
⛔ Strict 21+ Age Policy
The 88bf platform is strictly restricted to adults aged 21 years and above. If you are under 21, you must not register or place any wager on this platform. Age verification is conducted on every new account, and accounts found to belong to underage players are closed immediately with all funds returned.

Tools Available to Every
88bf Player
Every player registered at 88bf has instant access to the following responsible gaming tools. You can activate or adjust any of these features at any time by contacting our support team at [email protected].
How to Activate Your Safety Tools
Setting up responsible gaming controls on your 88bf account takes less than five minutes. Here is exactly what to do.
Visit 88bf.im and log in using your registered username and password. Make sure you are accessing the site from a secure network, especially if you are in a public place in Dhaka or Chittagong.
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request". In your message, state your registered username, the tool you wish to activate (deposit limit, loss limit, time-out, self-exclusion, or reality check), and the specific parameters you want applied (e.g., "Daily deposit limit of ৳2,000").
Our responsible gaming team will confirm activation of your chosen tool within 24 hours of receiving your request. For self-exclusion requests, the block is applied within 1 hour of your email being received, and confirmation is sent to your registered email address.
Deposit and loss limits can be reduced at any time with immediate effect. Increases to existing limits require a mandatory 7-day reflection period before taking effect. Self-exclusions cannot be reversed early — this is intentional, and it is for your protection.
⚡ Important — Processing Times
All responsible gaming requests received by [email protected] are treated as the highest priority. Self-exclusions are implemented within 1 hour. All other limit and time-out requests are processed within 24 hours. If you are in immediate distress and feel you need your account blocked urgently, clearly state "URGENT SELF-EXCLUSION" in your email subject line for expedited handling.
Is Your Gambling Still Under Control?
The following questions can help you honestly assess whether your gambling habits are healthy. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team or one of the external resources listed below.
🚨 If You Answered "Yes" to Two or More Questions
You may be experiencing early signs of problem gambling. This is more common than many people realise, and it is nothing to be ashamed of. The most important step is to take action now, before the problem grows. Please contact our responsible gaming team immediately at [email protected] — we will listen without judgment and help you access the right tools and support.

📌 Key Reminders for All 88bf Players
- Gambling is entertainment — it should never be used as a source of income or a way to solve financial problems.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, including money set aside for rent, utility bills, food, or family obligations.
- Set a budget before every session and stick to it. Once your session budget is gone, log out — do not deposit more.
- Take regular breaks during long sessions. Use the reality check reminder feature to keep track of time and spend.
- Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances — your decision-making is impaired and losses are more likely.
- Keep gambling separate from your daily routine. If you find yourself thinking about 88bf constantly, that is a signal to take a break.
- Talk to someone you trust if gambling is affecting your life. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.
