Responsible Gaming at 8i888

Who We Are

Gambling Should Always Be a Choice, Not a Compulsion

At 8i888, we take responsible gaming seriously. As Bangladesh's trusted online casino and sports betting platform, we understand that for the vast majority of our players, gambling is a fun, recreational activity — something to enjoy alongside watching the BPL, catching an IPL match, or unwinding after a long day in Dhaka or Chittagong.

However, for a small number of people, gambling can become problematic. Our mission is to provide every player with the information, tools, and support they need to keep their experience enjoyable and within safe boundaries. This page outlines the measures 8i888 has in place and what you can do to stay in control.

Our Tools

Responsible Gaming Tools Available at 8i888

We have built a set of practical tools that empower you to manage your gambling activity at any time. These are available through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly.

Manage Your Money

Setting Deposit Limits — Stay in Control of Your Budget

One of the most effective ways to prevent problem gambling is to decide in advance exactly how much money you are willing to spend. 8i888 gives you three types of deposit limits, all of which take effect immediately when you reduce them, and require a 24-hour cooling-off period if you wish to increase them.

Take a Break

Time-Out and Self-Exclusion Options

Sometimes the best action is to step back entirely. 8i888 offers two distinct break tools — a short-term time-out and a longer-term self-exclusion — so you can choose the level of support that suits your situation.

Time-Out (Short Break)

A time-out is a voluntary temporary suspension of your account, available in durations of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During a time-out you cannot log in, deposit funds, place bets, or access any games. Your account balance is preserved and you can resume playing once the period expires. This tool is designed for players who want a short reset without permanently closing their account.

Self-Exclusion (Extended Break)

If you feel gambling is becoming a serious problem in your life, we strongly encourage you to activate self-exclusion. This option locks your account for a minimum of 6 months, with extensions available up to 5 years. During self-exclusion, you will not receive any promotional emails or bonus offers from 8i888, and reactivation requires contacting our support team and completing a mandatory cooling-off review.

To activate self-exclusion, contact our support team directly via live chat or email at any time of day or night. Requests are processed within one hour. We take every self-exclusion request seriously — your wellbeing comes before your wagers.

Know Yourself

Signs You May Need to Take a Break

Problem gambling does not always look the same. Below is a short self-assessment — if you answer yes to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to reach out to our support team or activate one of our break tools.

• Do you gamble for longer than you originally planned, regularly?
• Have you ever tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult?
• Do you find yourself chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you have lost?
• Has gambling led to arguments with family members or caused you to neglect important responsibilities?
• Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used savings to fund gambling?
• Do you feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling?

Healthy Habits

Tips for Keeping Gambling Enjoyable and Safe

Responsible gaming is not just about avoiding harm — it is about making sure every session is genuinely fun. Here are some practical habits that experienced players in Dhaka, Sylhet, and across Bangladesh follow to keep their betting healthy:

• Always set a strict budget before you start a session and stick to it, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
• Treat gambling as entertainment spending — similar to buying a ticket to a cricket match — not as a way to make money.
• Take regular breaks during long sessions. Stand up, have some water, or step outside for fresh air.
• Never gamble when you are under the influence of alcohol, feeling emotionally distressed, or in a rushed or impulsive mindset.
• Balance your gaming time with other hobbies, social activities, and family time — especially around festivals like Eid or Pohela Boishakh.
• If you are on a losing streak, close the session. Chasing losses is the single biggest risk factor for problem gambling.

Above all, if gambling ever stops feeling like fun — stop playing. The games will still be here when you are ready to return at a healthier time.

Protecting Minors

Underage Protection — Keeping Children Safe

8i888 has a zero-tolerance policy for underage gambling. We verify the age of every player at registration and reserve the right to request additional identity documentation at any stage. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be closed immediately and any balance forfeited.

If you share a device or have children at home, we strongly recommend installing parental control software that can restrict access to gambling websites. This is especially important in households across Bangladesh where multiple family members share smartphones or tablets.
