Responsible Gaming
at 88 fd

At 88 fd, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a foundational part of how we operate. We believe that every player on our platform, from Dhaka to Chittagong, from Sylhet to Khulna, deserves a gaming environment that is safe, fair, and genuinely enjoyable. That means ensuring that the tools to stay in control are always within reach, that warning signs are taken seriously, and that no player ever feels alone if gambling starts to become a problem.

The 88 fd platform is designed with player wellbeing built in at every level. Our responsible gaming team monitors the platform around the clock and is authorised to intervene proactively if unusual patterns of play are detected on an account. We work closely with players who show early signs of at-risk behaviour, offering personalised guidance and support before problems escalate.

We are equally committed to keeping gambling away from minors. Every new account on the 88 fd platform is subject to age verification before any real-money activity is permitted. Our systems cross-reference identity documents against multiple data sources to ensure that no person under the age of 18 can access real-money gaming features, regardless of whether they attempt to register directly or gain access through an existing account.

Responsible gaming at 88 fd is an ongoing programme, not a one-time compliance exercise. We regularly review our tools, update our policies, and train our support staff to ensure that our responsible gaming standards remain among the highest in the Bangladesh online gaming market. Every player matters, and we take that responsibility seriously.

88 fd operates a strict 18+ only policy. No person under the age of 18 years is permitted to register an account, make a deposit, place a bet, or access any real-money gaming feature on the 88 fd platform. This policy applies equally to all players across Bangladesh, regardless of their location or the device they use to access the platform.

How We Verify Your Age

During the registration process, all new players are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older. This declaration is a binding contractual commitment. Following registration, every account is subject to a KYC (Know Your Customer) verification check before withdrawals are processed and before high-value betting limits are unlocked. Acceptable identity documents for age verification include:

• Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID)
• Valid passport issued by the Government of Bangladesh
• Driver's licence bearing a date of birth

If our verification team is unable to confirm that an account holder is aged 18 or above, the account will be suspended and all funds will be held pending further review. Any deposits made by a player who is subsequently found to be under 18 will be refunded to the original payment method, and the account will be permanently closed.

Protecting Young People in Your Household

If you share a device with younger family members or have children at home, we strongly encourage you to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Always log out of your 88 fd account when you have finished playing, and never share your account credentials with others. If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact us immediately at support@88-fd.app.

One of the most effective ways to maintain control over your gambling activity is to set firm financial limits before you begin playing. 88 fd provides a comprehensive set of financial limit tools that allow you to cap how much you deposit, lose, or wager across customisable time windows.

Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Deposit Limits

From your account settings, you can set a maximum deposit amount for any combination of the following periods: daily (24 hours), weekly (7 days), or monthly (30 days). For example, you might choose to limit yourself to ৳5,000 per week, ensuring that you never deposit more than that amount regardless of the results of your sessions. Once the limit is reached, all deposit attempts will be declined until the time window resets.

Loss Limits

A loss limit caps the total amount you can lose over a defined period. This is distinct from a deposit limit because it accounts for any winnings you may have earned and subsequently wagered back. Loss limits are calculated on net losses — that is, the total amount deposited minus any withdrawals made during the same period.

Wager Limits

Wager limits restrict the total stake amount you can place across all games in a given time period. This tool is particularly useful for players who play high-frequency games like slots, live casino, or in-play cricket betting, where individual stakes may be small but cumulative spending can build up quickly.

Changing Your Limits

Reducing a limit takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed until the original limit period has expired. This ensures that impulsive decisions made during a gambling session cannot quickly undo a protective limit you set when you were thinking clearly. Increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the change comes into effect.

Time spent gambling can pass quickly, especially when playing fast-paced games or following live cricket betting markets. 88 fd's session management tools help you stay aware of how long you have been playing and give you the power to stop whenever you choose — not just when your balance runs out.

Session Duration Limits

Set a maximum session length from your account settings. When the time limit is reached, you will be shown a clear notification asking whether you wish to continue or end your session. If you choose to continue, a further notification will appear at the end of each subsequent interval. This keeps the decision to keep playing a conscious, active choice rather than a passive default.

Reality Check Reminders

Reality checks are periodic pop-up reminders that appear while you are actively playing. They display the total time elapsed in the current session, your net win or loss for the session, and the option to stop playing. Reality checks can be set to appear every 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Research consistently shows that regular reality checks meaningfully reduce the risk of extended problem gambling sessions.

Cool-Off Periods

If you feel the urge to take a break but are not ready for full self-exclusion, a cool-off period is the right tool. You can activate a cool-off of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days directly from your account settings. During a cool-off period, you will be logged out immediately and prevented from logging back in. You will continue to receive your account statements and support communications during this time, but no gaming activity will be possible.

Automatic Session Timeout

For additional safety, the 88 fd platform will automatically end your session after a period of inactivity, even if you have not set a manual time limit. This prevents situations where a session is inadvertently left open on a shared device.

Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming tool available on the 88 fd platform. It is designed for players who recognise that their gambling has become, or is at serious risk of becoming, harmful. Requesting self-exclusion is a courageous and positive step, and 88 fd will always honour such requests with the seriousness and speed they deserve.

How Self-Exclusion Works at 88 fd

When you request self-exclusion, your account will be suspended within one hour of your request being received. You will be logged out of all active sessions and blocked from logging back in for the duration of your chosen exclusion period. Any pending withdrawals that were already approved prior to your self-exclusion request will be processed as normal. Any active bonuses will be forfeited. You will be removed from all marketing communications for the duration of the exclusion.

Available Self-Exclusion Periods

• 6 months — suitable for players who need a significant break to reassess their relationship with gambling
• 1 year — recommended for players who have experienced moderate harm and need extended time away
• 2 years — for players who require a longer period to seek professional support and rebuild healthy habits
• 5 years — for players with serious problem gambling concerns; provides the most substantial protection
• Indefinite exclusion — a permanent exclusion with no automatic end date; can only be lifted after a mandatory review process

Requesting Self-Exclusion

To request self-exclusion, you can either use the self-exclusion option in your account settings or contact our responsible gaming team directly at support@88-fd.app with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Please include your registered username, registered mobile number, and your chosen exclusion period. Your request will be actioned within one hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and public holidays such as Eid and Victory Day.

After Your Self-Exclusion Period Ends

Your account will not be automatically reactivated at the end of your self-exclusion period. You must contact 88 fd support to request reactivation, and there is a mandatory 7-day reflection period before your account is restored. We strongly recommend that players returning from self-exclusion take advantage of our deposit limit and session time tools from the very first session.

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise from the inside. The early warning signs are often dismissed as temporary stress or a run of bad luck. Being honest with yourself about your gambling habits is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your wellbeing. Below are some of the most common indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem.

Common Warning Signs

• Gambling with money that is needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, or utilities
• Borrowing money from family or friends, or taking out loans, to fund gambling activity
• Feeling irritable, anxious, or depressed when you are not able to gamble
• Spending more time gambling than you originally intended, session after session
• Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost
• Lying to people close to you about how much time or money you spend on gambling
• Neglecting work, family, or social obligations because of time spent gambling
• Finding that you need to gamble with larger and larger amounts to experience the same level of excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
• Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, depression, anxiety, or personal problems

A Helpful Self-Assessment

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to take action and seek support:
