What Responsible Gambling Is and Why It Matters

Responsible gambling means betting in a way where you always remain in control. At 88abt, we believe betting should be a form of entertainment — not a source of financial hardship or stress.

Millions of people across Bangladesh enjoy online games and betting every day. Most play responsibly, but some occasionally spend a little more time or money than intended. With the right information and support, it is easy to get back on track.

88abt provides a range of tools and features for responsible gambling. From deposit limits to self-exclusion — we're always here to keep you safe.

The key point: Responsible gambling does not mean less fun; it means more enjoyment over the long run.

How to Build Healthy Betting Habits

The right mindset is the first step toward responsible gambling. Before playing at 88abt, ask yourself — am I playing for fun, or to chase losses? If it's the latter, taking a break is the wiser choice.

88abt offers a few simple guidelines for healthy betting habits. Following them will help you stay in control at all times:

1
Set a Budget

Decide in advance how much BDT you are willing to spend on betting each week or month — and stick to that budget.

2
Respect Your Time Limits

Avoid playing for long stretches without a break. Take regular breaks and stick to a set number of hours per day.

3
Accept Your Losses

Losing is a normal part of betting. Do not chase your losses by placing bigger bets.

4
Stay Calm

Avoid betting when you are angry, anxious, or emotionally distressed.

5
Don't Bet on Credit

Never bet with borrowed money. Only use funds you can afford to lose without affecting your household finances.

6
Keep Other Hobbies

Do not let betting become your only form of entertainment. Keep a healthy balance with family, friends, and other interests.

Keep in mind: Never treat betting as a source of income. It is entertainment, not an investment.

88abt Limit-Setting Features

On the 88abt platform, you can set your own limits to support responsible gambling. These limits help keep you from playing more than you intend.

Deposit Limit

Set your own maximum deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once set, the limit cannot be exceeded.

Time Limit

Set a time limit for each session. Once the time is up, the system will automatically notify you.

Loss Limit

Set a limit so that play stops automatically after a certain amount of losses, protecting you from bigger setbacks.

Cooling-Off Period

Temporarily pause your account for a set period — anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days.

Self-Exclusion

Option to keep your account closed for an extended period. Choose anything from 6 months to a permanent ban.

Reality Check

Receive periodic pop-up notifications reminding you how long you have been playing.

How to set it up: You can set these limits yourself by going to the Settings section of your 88abt account and selecting the "Responsible Gambling" option.

How to Recognize the Signs of Problem Betting

One of the most important aspects of responsible gambling is monitoring your own behaviour. If you notice the following signs, it is time to take stock:

  • Lying to yourself or hiding from others how much time or money you spend on betting.
  • A strong urge to bet more in order to win back money you have lost.
  • Prioritizing betting over family, friends, or work.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not betting.
  • Using everyday living expenses or savings for betting.
  • Betting with borrowed money or funds taken from others.
  • Repeatedly trying to stop betting but failing to do so.
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities.

If you notice these signs: Don't try to handle it alone — contact 88abt support right away or seek expert advice. Asking for help takes courage.

Self-Assessment Test — Check Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If most of your answers are "yes", it is worth becoming more mindful about responsible gambling.

1Have you ever bet more than your planned budget?

2Do you feel very upset or angry when you lose a bet?

3Have you hidden your betting from family or friends?

4Do you find it hard to concentrate on work or study because you're thinking about betting?

5Do you feel uncomfortable or restless when you think about stopping betting?

6Have you ever spent money meant for household expenses on betting?

7Have you ever placed larger bets the next day to try to recover your losses?

Result Analysis: 1-2 "Yes" = Stay cautious | 3-4 "Yes" = Set limits | 5+ "Yes" = Seek help immediately.

Self-Exclusion & Break Options

Sometimes stepping back is the smartest decision. Self-exclusion at 88abt is a straightforward process. It is completely confidential and free from judgment.

Short-Term Break
Temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours to 7 days.
Long-Term Exclusion
Account closure for a period of 1 month to 1 year or longer.
Permanent Closure
Option to permanently close your account — request it from the support team at any time.

During self-exclusion, 88abt will not send you any promotional emails or messages. We respect your decision, and support will be available whenever you are ready to return.

The Role of Family & Loved Ones

Sometimes the people closest to us notice a problem before we do. If you feel that a family member or friend may be betting excessively, here are some steps you can take:

  • Have a calm conversation: Speak with empathy, not judgment. Express concern without anger or accusations.
  • Gather information: Learn about problem betting so you can offer the right kind of support.
  • Encourage them to seek professional help: Help them connect with a professional counselor.
  • Take care of yourself: Supporting someone through a gambling problem is not easy. Seek help for yourself if you need it too.
  • Contact 88abt Support: Family members are also welcome to reach out to our support team on behalf of a loved one.

Keep in mind: Problem betting is a mental health issue, not a personal weakness. With the right support, full recovery is absolutely possible.

FAQ

Not at all. Responsible gambling applies to every player — whether you have encountered a problem or not. In fact, those who are aware from the start are far less likely to develop one. 88abt wants all players to build the right habits from day one.

No. Your account balance remains fully protected during self-exclusion. Once the exclusion period ends, you can withdraw as normal. Your funds are safe.

Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period — typically 7 days. This is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Absolutely not. 88abt strictly enforces an 18+ policy. Age is verified at registration, and additional identity verification is requested in cases of doubt. Protecting minors is our highest priority.

You can reach us via live chat on the website or by emailing [email protected]. Our support team is active 24/7. Any responsible gambling enquiry will be handled promptly and in complete confidence.

No. 88abt is clear that betting is for entertainment, not as a source of income. Expecting reliable earnings from betting over the long term is not realistic, and that mindset is what leads to excessive play.
