88bat's Responsible Gaming Features

Tools and features 88bat provides to keep your play safe and in control.

Set a Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Once a limit is in place, there's no way to exceed it.

Session Time Limit

Enable the session timer to prevent extended play. Once the set time is up, you'll automatically see a break reminder.

Temporary Break (Cooloff)

If you need a short break, set a cool-off period of 24 hours to 6 weeks. You won't be able to access your account during this time.

Self-Exclusion

If you want to stop playing for an extended period, set a self-exclusion of 6 months to 5 years. Your account will be completely inactive during this time.

Loss Limit

Set a loss limit so your session ends automatically once you've lost a set amount. It's your safeguard against bigger losses.

Age Verification System

To protect minors, 88bat follows strict age verification procedures. No account is activated without NID and document verification.

1 What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gambling means using betting as a controlled form of entertainment — where you decide how much time and money you spend. It's not a source of income; it's simply a way to have fun in your leisure time.

88bat believes that following responsible gaming principles allows every player to enjoy more and maintain a positive relationship with betting over the long term.

As online betting grows in popularity across Bangladesh, it's important to stay aware of the risks. Financial loss, family conflict, and declining mental health are real consequences when betting spirals out of control.

Core Principles: Bet for entertainment, not to win. Only wager what you can afford to lose.

88bat's responsible gaming policy is built in line with international gaming regulatory guidelines. We place every player's wellbeing and safety above profit.

2 How to Set Your Limits

The 88bat platform offers several tools that give you full control over your gaming. You can activate them anytime from your account settings.

Protection Tools Description Effective Date Status
Deposit Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit Instant Active
Loss Limit Stop-Loss Limit Instant Active
Session Time Limit Session Time Limit Instant Active
Cooloff Period Short break of 1 day – 6 weeks Instant Active
Self-Exclusion Long-term break of 6 months – 5 years Within 24 Hours Active

Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day waiting period — a rule designed to stop you from betting more on impulse.

Underage Protection

88bat never allows anyone under 18 to open an account. However, adults in the household also have a responsibility:

  • Use a password manager on your device.
  • Keep betting app notifications away from children.
  • Enable parental controls on your devices.
  • Have an open, honest conversation with your family about your betting.

Helping a Loved One with Addiction

  • Review your finances together.

88bat can restrict accounts at a family member's request. Please contact support@88bat.biz for assistance.

7 The Right Mindset for Betting

Responsible gaming isn't just about using tools — it's a shift in mindset. 88bat wants every player to keep these principles in mind:

The Right Mindset
  • Betting is a form of entertainment.
  • Only bet what you can afford to lose.
  • Losing is part of it — accept that.
  • Winnings are a bonus — losses are part of the game.
  • Take a break after a set period of play.
The Wrong Mindset
  • Thinking of betting as a source of income.
  • Chasing losses by betting more to recover what you've lost.
  • Betting with borrowed money or by dipping into savings.
  • Treating a win as a certainty.
  • Finding no enjoyment without betting.

Remember: before every betting session, ask yourself — "Can I afford to lose this money?" If the answer is no, it's best to sit that one out.
