Responsible Gaming at 888db
We believe gaming should always be fun, affordable, and in your control. 888db provides every player with the tools and information needed to keep their experience positive and safe.
888db's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
888db is committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible online gaming environment for all players across Bangladesh. We recognise that while the vast majority of our members play purely for entertainment, a small number of individuals may develop gambling-related difficulties. For those players, 888db has built a comprehensive suite of player-protection tools that are available at any time from within your account settings.
Responsible gaming is not just a policy for us — it is a core value. We actively encourage all 888db members to set personal limits, take breaks when needed, and reach out to our support team at any time if gaming stops being enjoyable. Our support team is available 24/7 and will always treat responsible gaming enquiries with the highest level of care and confidentiality.
All 888db gaming services are strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. By registering an account, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. 888db uses industry-standard identity and age verification procedures and reserves the right to close any account where the age requirement cannot be confirmed.
Responsible Gaming Tools Available to All Members
888db provides the following responsible gaming tools to all registered members. You can access and configure these tools at any time from your account settings page. Changes to limits that make them more restrictive take effect immediately; changes that make them less restrictive require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they apply.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit thresholds on your account to stay within your budget.
Configure alerts to notify you when a gaming session exceeds a set time duration, so you stay aware of time spent.
Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing 888db. Minimum temporary period: 24 hours. Permanent exclusions are irreversible.
Receive periodic on-screen pop-ups during active sessions showing your net win/loss position and total session time.
Cap the maximum amount you can lose within a set daily, weekly, or monthly period to protect your bankroll.
Instantly freeze your account for a chosen period — no deposits, no bets. Your existing balance is preserved safely.
Setting and Managing Your Deposit Limits
Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming affordable. At 888db, you can set a maximum deposit limit at the daily, weekly, or monthly level directly from your account dashboard. Once a deposit limit is active, the platform will automatically decline any deposit request that would cause you to exceed the limit for that period.
- Daily limit: caps the total amount you can deposit within any single calendar day. Resets at midnight Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).
- Weekly limit: caps total deposits from Monday 00:00 BST through Sunday 23:59 BST each week. Ideal for players who prefer a broader spending horizon.
- Monthly limit: caps total deposits for the calendar month. The most effective option for players who want a single monthly budget rather than day-by-day tracking.
- Reducing an existing limit takes immediate effect. Increasing a limit or removing one is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period, ensuring decisions made in the heat of the moment do not override your longer-term intentions.
Before you make your first deposit, take a few minutes to set a deposit limit that reflects your genuine entertainment budget — not the maximum you think you could afford in the best case. Treat gaming spend like any other leisure activity: budget for it, stick to the budget, and adjust it thoughtfully over time.
How to Self-Exclude from 888db
Self-exclusion is the right tool when you feel that your gambling is no longer under your control, or when you simply want to take a break from gaming entirely. 888db offers both temporary and permanent self-exclusion, and both options can be activated immediately through your account or by contacting support. Here is how the process works:
-
1
Choose Your Exclusion Period
Log in to your 888db account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. Select either temporary exclusion (minimum 24 hours, maximum 6 months) or permanent exclusion. Alternatively, contact support directly at [email protected] to request exclusion immediately without logging in.
-
2
Confirm Your Decision
You will be asked to confirm your exclusion request. For temporary exclusions, confirm the duration. For permanent exclusions, a final confirmation step is required as this action cannot be reversed.
-
3
Exclusion Takes Effect
Your self-exclusion takes effect immediately. Your account is locked and you will not be able to log in, make deposits, place bets, or receive promotional communications from 888db for the duration of your exclusion period.
-
4
Returning After Temporary Exclusion
After a temporary exclusion period ends, your account will not automatically reactivate. You must contact 888db support to request reactivation, allowing for a deliberate and informed decision to resume play. A 24-hour reflection period applies before access is restored.
Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances. Once confirmed, your account will be closed permanently. Any verified real-money balance at the time of permanent exclusion will be returned to your registered payment method after the required security checks are completed.
Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling
Most people who gamble do so for entertainment without experiencing any problems. However, it is important to be aware of the warning signs that gambling may be becoming harmful. Problem gambling can affect people of all backgrounds and income levels. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you:
- ⚠️You spend more time or money on gambling than you originally intended, and find it hard to stop once you have started.
- ⚠️You find yourself chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.
- ⚠️Gaming has started to interfere with your work, family relationships, studies, or other responsibilities that matter to you.
- ⚠️You feel anxious, restless, or irritable when you are unable to gamble, or when you try to cut down or stop.
- ⚠️You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or used funds meant for essential expenses such as rent, utilities, or food in order to fund your gambling.
- ⚠️You lie to family members or friends about how much you are gambling or how much money you have lost.
- ⚠️Gambling is the primary way you deal with stress, boredom, loneliness, or difficult emotions rather than a form of entertainment you choose to enjoy occasionally.
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, please consider using the responsible gaming tools available in your account, contacting the 888db support team, or reaching out to a professional counselling or support service. Acknowledging a problem is the first and most important step toward addressing it.
Taking a Break with the Time-Out Feature
The 888db time-out feature is designed for players who want a short break from gaming without fully committing to a formal self-exclusion. A time-out suspends your account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — during which you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Unlike permanent self-exclusion, a time-out is a temporary measure and your account can be reactivated after the chosen period ends.
Time-outs can be activated instantly from your account settings or by contacting 888db support. You can choose a duration that suits your situation: a single day to manage an impulsive urge, a week to reset your habits, or up to six weeks for a more meaningful recovery period. During a time-out, 888db will also pause all promotional communications to your registered contact details.
If you believe your gambling is seriously out of control, a time-out may not provide sufficient protection. In that case, please consider self-exclusion, which provides a longer and more robust barrier. If you are unsure which option is right for you, contact the 888db support team and they will help you find the most appropriate solution.
Protecting Children and Young People
888db is strictly an adult gaming platform for users aged 21 and above. We take our responsibility to prevent underage access extremely seriously. If you share a device with children or young people, we strongly recommend using parental control software to block access to gambling websites.
You can take the following practical steps to reduce the risk of minors accessing your 888db account or any other online gambling platform:
- Never share your 888db username, password, or account PIN with any other person, including family members and friends.
- Always log out of your 888db account before leaving a shared device unattended, and ensure your login credentials are not saved in the browser on shared devices.
- Install reputable parental control software on all shared devices. Well-known options that block gambling-related content include tools built into Android, iOS, and most modern browsers.
- If you suspect that a minor has accessed your account without your knowledge, contact 888db support immediately. We will investigate the matter and take all necessary steps to protect all parties involved.
Any account found to be operated by a person under 21 years of age will be closed immediately. All gameplay during the underage period will be voided and no winnings will be paid out. 888db reports confirmed underage gambling incidents as required by applicable regulations.
Tips for Keeping Your Gaming Healthy and Enjoyable
The best way to enjoy 888db is to treat gaming purely as entertainment — a fun activity with a set budget, not a way to earn income or solve financial problems. These tips will help you maintain a healthy relationship with gaming:
- Set a strict entertainment budget before you start each session and stop as soon as you reach it — whether you are winning or losing.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. This includes rent money, bill payments, loan repayments, or funds earmarked for food and family essentials.
- Take regular breaks during gaming sessions. Stand up, stretch, get a glass of water, and step away from the screen for at least five minutes every hour.
- Never gamble when you are tired, stressed, emotional, or under the influence of alcohol. Impaired judgment leads to poor decisions.
- Do not chase losses. Losing sessions are a normal part of gaming. Chasing losses almost always leads to larger losses and greater distress.
- Balance gaming with other activities you enjoy. Maintain hobbies, social connections, physical exercise, and family time so that gaming remains one small part of a full and balanced life.
