1. Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At 88pct, responsible gaming is not a policy checkbox — it is a fundamental part of how we operate Bangladesh's premier online casino and sports betting platform. We recognise that while the vast majority of players enjoy gambling recreationally and within their means, a small number of individuals can develop harmful patterns of play. It is our duty to detect those patterns early, provide effective tools to help, and ensure that every player who needs support can access it without stigma or delay.

Our responsible gaming programme is built on four pillars: Prevention (keeping gambling fun before problems arise), Awareness (helping players recognise the early warning signs), Intervention (providing practical tools to slow down or stop play), and Support (connecting players with professional help when needed). Each of these pillars is reflected in the tools and guidance described throughout this page.

88pct is committed to the following principles without exception: we will never market aggressively to vulnerable players; we will honour all self-exclusion requests immediately and without question; we will never pressure a player to lift a deposit limit or reverse a cooling-off period before its natural expiry; and we will ensure that responsible gaming tools are always at least as prominent and easy to use as deposit or bonus features within the platform.

Our Promise: Responsible gaming features on 88pct are always free to use, always effective immediately, and never subject to a waiting period — except for the reversal of limits, which intentionally includes a cooling-off delay to protect players who may be acting impulsively.

2. 18+ Age Restriction

88pct operates strictly as an adults-only platform. You must be at least 18 years of age to register an account, make a deposit, or place any wager on 88pct. This applies to all players regardless of location within Bangladesh — whether you are based in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, or anywhere else across the country.

Age verification at registration: During the account registration process, all players are required to declare their date of birth. Prior to processing any withdrawal, 88pct will request identity verification (KYC) documents — including a National Identity Card (NID), passport, or other government-issued photo ID — to confirm that the player is aged 18 or above. Accounts that fail age verification will be suspended immediately, and any funds held in those accounts will be handled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

Protecting minors: If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a minor in your household has accessed the 88pct platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will act without delay to close the account and review any activity that took place. We also recommend using parental control software — such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, or your device's built-in content filtering tools — to restrict access to gambling websites on shared devices.

Zero Tolerance: Attempting to register or play on 88pct if you are under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited. Any account found to belong to an underage player will be closed immediately, and all transactions will be reversed or voided.

3. Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling develops gradually and can be difficult to recognise in yourself, especially when gambling has been a normal part of your recreational routine. The following checklist outlines common warning signs. If you recognise three or more of these patterns in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use the player tools described in Section 4 and to reach out to our support team or a professional counselling service.

  • You are spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or more than you can afford to lose.
  • You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
  • You are chasing losses — placing larger bets in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.
  • Gambling is taking up significant time that was previously spent with family, friends, or on work or studies.
  • You have borrowed money, sold personal belongings, or used savings earmarked for essential expenses in order to fund gambling.
  • You have tried to hide your gambling activity from family members or close friends.
  • You feel that gambling is the only way to relieve stress, boredom, or negative emotions.
  • You have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling on your own.
Remember: Recognising a problem is the first — and most important — step toward addressing it. There is no shame in asking for help. Our support team, as well as the external resources listed in Section 6, are here to assist you without judgment.

4. Player Protection Tools

88pct provides a comprehensive suite of player protection tools that you can activate at any time from within your account settings or by contacting our support team. All of these tools are available free of charge and take effect immediately upon request. There is intentionally no waiting period to activate a protection measure — only a mandatory cooling-off delay to reverse one, so that decisions to remove limits cannot be made impulsively.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Once set, your limit cannot be increased until a 7-day cooling-off period has elapsed. Decreases take effect immediately.

Loss Limits

Cap the total amount you are willing to lose within a defined time period. When your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further bets until the period resets or you contact support.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum playing session duration. When your time is up, you will receive a notification and be automatically logged out to encourage a natural break from play.

Reality Check Reminders

Receive periodic in-session notifications that display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the current session, helping you stay aware.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break of 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period your account remains open but you cannot deposit or place bets. The period cannot be cancelled early.

Marketing Opt-Out

Opt out of all promotional emails, SMS notifications, and bonus offers at any time. This ensures you are not exposed to marketing material that may trigger unwanted gambling urges.

5. Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the strongest protective measure available on 88pct. When you request a self-exclusion, your account is closed immediately, your access to the platform is revoked, and all marketing communications are stopped. 88pct will make every reasonable effort to ensure that a self-excluded player cannot re-register a new account during the exclusion period.

Available self-exclusion periods:

  • 6 months — for players who want a meaningful break but plan to return.
  • 1 year — for players who need an extended period away from gambling.
  • 3 years — for players with a serious concern about their gambling habits.
  • Permanent / Lifetime — for players who wish to never gamble on 88pct again. This cannot be reversed under any circumstances.

How to request self-exclusion: You can request self-exclusion at any time by contacting our support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. We will process your request immediately. Please use the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and include your registered account email address so we can locate and close your account without delay.

Funds at time of exclusion: Any positive balance remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your registered bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay wallet within 3–5 business days, subject to identity verification requirements.

Reversing a temporary exclusion: If you requested a 6-month, 1-year, or 3-year exclusion and wish to return to the platform after the exclusion period has naturally expired, you may contact our support team. We will ask you to confirm your identity and will recommend speaking with a counsellor before your account is re-activated. Re-activation is at the discretion of 88pct and may be declined if we have concerns about your wellbeing.

Permanent Exclusion is Irreversible: A lifetime self-exclusion request cannot be undone under any circumstances, regardless of how much time passes. Please consider this decision carefully before making it permanent.

6. Support Resources

7. Tips for Safe Play

Responsible gambling starts with healthy habits. Whether you are a new player on 88pct or a long-time member, the following practical tips will help you maintain a positive and controlled relationship with gambling. These principles apply equally whether you are betting on Bangladesh Tigers cricket, playing live baccarat, spinning slots, or enjoying any other game on the platform.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide in advance exactly how much money you are comfortable spending on gambling in a given session or week. Only deposit that amount. Treat it as the cost of entertainment — not as an investment you expect to recover.

Use a Time Limit Every Session

Set an alarm before you start playing and stop when it goes off — regardless of whether you are winning or losing. Time limits prevent sessions from creeping beyond what you originally intended.

Gamble for Fun, Not Profit

Approach every session as entertainment. The house always has a mathematical edge over the long run. Winnings are a bonus, not a financial strategy. If you are playing primarily to make money, that is a warning sign worth taking seriously.

Never Chase Your Losses

If you have reached your budget for the day, stop playing — even if you feel certain the next bet will recover your losses. Chasing losses is one of the most well-documented patterns that leads from recreational gambling to problem gambling.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen regularly. Get up, stretch, have a meal, or spend time with family. Regular breaks reset your perspective and prevent the trance-like state that prolonged uninterrupted gambling can produce.

Avoid Gambling Under Stress

Never gamble when you are stressed, sad, angry, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair judgment and can lead to impulsive decisions. Gambling should be a leisure activity, not a coping mechanism for difficult emotions.
