Our Responsible Gaming Tools

To help you keep your gaming experience safe and in control at 88i, we offer several effective tools.

Set Deposit Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. No transactions beyond your budget will be allowed.

Self-Exclusion

For a longer-term break, you can self-exclude for anywhere from 3 months to 5 years, or permanently close your account.

Betting History Review

View your complete gaming history and spending details at any time. It's a great way to understand your own patterns.

Pop-up reminders appear after a set time — letting you know how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.

What is Responsible Gaming?

At 88i, we believe online gaming should be pure entertainment — something that adds joy to your life, not stress. Responsible gaming means enjoying yourself within your own means and boundaries. It's not a strict rulebook; it's simply a healthy mindset.

Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh. Many people play for fun, while others hope to earn extra income. But treating gaming as your sole source of income or chasing losses with bigger bets — both are warning signs.

88i wants every player to make informed choices. That's why we don't just offer entertainment — we also provide all the tools, information, and support you need to game responsibly.

Gaming is always meant to be entertainment — never a way to solve financial problems. If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your life, reach out to our support team right away.

Our Responsible Gaming policy is built to international standards, with every user's wellbeing and financial safety as our top priority. On this page, you'll find everything you need — how to set limits, what warning signs to watch for, and where to get help if you need it.

Signs of Problem Gaming

Problem gaming doesn't always appear overnight — it builds up gradually. Watch out for these signs:

Repeatedly playing to chase losses — driven by the belief that a win is just around the corner.

Spending beyond your set budget and still being unable to stop.

Prioritizing gaming over family, friends, or work.

Taking out loans or using family money without their knowledge to cover gaming expenses.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're unable to play.

Lying to or hiding gaming activities from family members.

Gaming at the expense of sleep, meals, or essential responsibilities.

If more than three of these apply to you, it may be a sign of problematic gaming. Please read the self-assessment section below.

These signs aren't a sign of weakness — they're common mental health challenges that can be overcome with the right support. 88i is here for you.

Self-Assessment

Ask yourself the following questions and answer honestly — this is just for you:

1

Did you spend more on gaming than your planned budget last month?

2

After a loss, have you ever kept playing thinking one more round would turn things around?

3

Have you tried to stop gaming but couldn't?

4

Has gaming caused problems in your relationships with family or friends?

5

Has gaming interfered with your work, studies, or daily responsibilities?

6

Have you borrowed money from anyone to cover gaming costs?

0–1 Yes: You're likely gaming responsibly. Still, it's worth staying mindful.

2–3 Yes: It's time to take stock. Set your limits and review your gaming habits.

4+ Yes: Get help now. Speak with our support team or activate self-exclusion.

How to Set Limits

Setting limits at 88i is simple and can be done at any time. Just follow the steps below:

Step 1
Account Login

Log in to your 88i account and go to the "Settings" or "Profile" menu.

Step 2
Responsible Gaming Menu

Select the "Responsible Gaming" option.

Step 3
Choose Limit Type

Choose any type of limit — deposits, bets, losses, or session time.

Step 4
Set & Save Amount

Enter your preferred amount or time and confirm. It takes effect immediately.

Limit decreases take effect immediately. Increases, however, require a 24–72 hour waiting period — this is intentional, to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Setting limits isn't a sign of weakness — it shows you care about your own and your family's future. 88i always encourages every player to enjoy gaming within their means.

Protection of Minors

88i's services are strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not encourage minors to participate in gaming under any circumstances.

  • Age verification using a national ID or birth certificate is mandatory at the time of registration.
  • Withdrawals are held until your identity is verified through the KYC process.
  • Suspicious accounts are immediately flagged for verification.
  • If there are minors in your household, use parental control software on your devices.

If you suspect a minor is using 88i, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will act promptly.

Tips for Healthy Gaming

Follow these simple guidelines to build healthy gaming habits:

Set a Budget in Advance: Decide on a maximum spend before each session and stick to it.

Take a Break: Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, drink some water — a clear head leads to better decisions.

Don't play when you're tired or stressed: Betting when you're angry, anxious, or tired makes poor decisions far more likely.

Avoid Gaming Under the Influence: Gaming decisions made under the influence often lead to regret.

Never treat a win as a certainty: Gaming is chance-based — winning is never guaranteed. Only bet what you can afford to lose.

Don't make gaming your only form of entertainment: Keep gaming in balance with family, friends, sports, or hobbies.

Track Your Time: Set a timer on your phone. Without tracking the time, it slips away faster than you think.

Talk to Someone You Trust: Have open conversations with your family about gaming — secrecy only makes things worse.

Yes, limits can be increased. However, there is a 24 to 72 hour waiting period after submitting an increase request. This delay is intentional — to protect you from decisions made in the heat of the moment. Decreasing limits or activating self-exclusion takes effect immediately.

Yes, you can withdraw your account balance while self-exclusion is active. However, new deposits and gameplay will be completely disabled. Contact our support team for assistance — they'll guide you through the withdrawal process.

For privacy reasons, family members cannot make changes to your account directly. However, they can report their concerns to our support team, and we will reach out to the account holder directly to take the appropriate steps.

Yes. Any limits set on your account apply equally across all devices — phone, tablet, or computer. These are account-based controls, not device-based.
