Safe and Informed Betting

88fb's commitment to responsible gambling

Gambling is for enjoyment — not for stress or harm. 88fb believes every player should know their limits and play within them. On this page you will find self-control tools, warning signs, and ways to get help.

For 21+ only

Self-Control Tools

88fb has a number of practical tools to help you stay in control of your gambling. These limits can be activated at any time through live chat.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount. This keeps your total deposits within a set amount over a given period.

Loss Limit

Betting stops automatically once losses exceed a set amount. This limit keeps your balance protected.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you will play in one sitting. Once the set time is up, the account will log out automatically.

Break Period

Take a break of anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time the account remains active but no bets can be placed.

Self-Exclusion

For long-term problems, close the account completely. You should not try to open a new account during self-exclusion.

Reality Check

At regular intervals a message will appear showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent in the session.

For more details on these tools, visit our FAQ page, where every aspect of account management is explained separately.

Warning Signs

For most people gambling is a leisure activity. But sometimes it can become a problem. If you notice the following signs in yourself or someone close to you, it is time to be careful.

Chasing lost money by gambling again

Placing more bets to try to recover losses is an important warning sign.

Spending more time than planned

Sitting down for an hour and losing track of several hours — losing control of time.

Hiding it from family and friends

Keeping your gambling secret or not disclosing how much you are spending.

Using household or essential money

Betting with money set aside for food, rent, or debt repayment.

Restlessness or irritability when not gambling

Feeling moody or restless when you cannot play.

Gradually increasing bet sizes

Feeling the need to bet more and more to get the same enjoyment as before.

Age Verification and Protection

The minimum age to open an account at 88fb is 21. This is not just a rule — protecting minors from the harms of gambling is part of our responsibility. Age is verified at registration and proof of identity may be requested in doubtful cases.

If anyone under 21 lives in your household, use device locks or browser parental controls. Never share your password or login details with anyone. Our Privacy Policy has detailed information on account security.

Remember — gambling is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. There is no guarantee of winning any bet. Never play beyond your budget and never wager what you cannot afford to lose.

Setting Limits for Yourself

The most effective way to gamble responsibly is to plan ahead. Keeping the following points in mind will help gambling stay enjoyable and reduce the risk of problems:

  • Set a fixed entertainment budget each month and stick to it.
  • Decide in advance how long you will play each day, and do not play when you are tired or under stress.
  • Avoid betting while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
  • When you win, withdraw some instead of putting it all back — decide on a winning target in advance.
  • Always give other leisure activities and time with family more priority than gambling.

How Gambling Works

Slots, casino games, and sports betting all carry a mathematical advantage for the house over the long run. If the RTP (Return to Player) is 96%, it means that on average ৳96 is returned for every ৳100 wagered — but this is not on every single bet; it is an average across millions of spins.

Before playing at 88fb, you should read the Terms and Conditions carefully. They contain clear explanations of bonus wagering requirements, withdrawal rules, and details on various games. For anything unclear, ask support directly.

Check Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If two or more answers are "yes", consider seeking help.

  • In the past month, have you spent more money on gambling than you planned?
  • Have you gone back to gambling to try to win back money you lost?
  • Are you keeping your gambling secret from family or people close to you?
  • Do you feel low, restless, or irritable when you are not gambling?
  • Do thoughts of gambling come to mind during work, family time, or study?
  • Have you ever bet with money needed for household expenses?

Where to Get Help

Admitting there is a problem takes courage. Asking for help is not a weakness — it is the right step. Support is available through any of the following.

Yes, a request to lower the limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing the limit involves a waiting period — this is to prevent impulsive decisions. Contact 24/7 live chat for any changes.

You can contact the 88fb support team and explain the situation. Speak calmly rather than with anger, and encourage the person to seek help from a professional counsellor. Device password protection and parental controls can also be used.
