Responsible
Gaming at 88fn
At 88fn, we believe gambling should always be a source of entertainment — never stress, debt, or harm. Our responsible gaming programme equips every Bangladeshi player with the tools, knowledge, and support to stay in control at all times.
88fn's Commitment to Safe Play
Responsible gaming is not a checkbox for 88fn — it is a core pillar of how we operate the platform for players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and every corner of Bangladesh.
Tools to Keep You in Control
88fn provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools that every account holder can activate instantly from their profile settings. These tools are free, effective, and always available.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your 88fn account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when lowered, and require a 7-day cooling-off period when raised — giving you time to reconsider.
Define how long you can play in a single session. When the timer expires, you will be automatically logged out and shown a responsible gaming reminder. Regular session breaks are one of the most effective ways to maintain perspective and keep gambling enjoyable rather than compulsive.
Protect your bankroll by setting a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once you reach your chosen loss limit, betting and casino gameplay will be suspended for the rest of the period. This tool is particularly useful during Eid, BPL season, and other high-excitement periods when spending can escalate quickly.
Take a structured break from 88fn for a set period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is locked for gambling activity while your balance remains safe and intact. Time-outs are ideal when you feel you need a short pause without committing to full self-exclusion.
If you believe your gambling has become a problem, you can permanently self-exclude from 88fn for a minimum period of 6 months, up to 5 years or indefinitely. Once active, your account is locked and you will not receive any promotional communications. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period — by design.
Enable periodic on-screen reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the current session. Reality checks appear as non-intrusive pop-ups at intervals you choose — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — keeping you grounded and aware of your activity at all times.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. Recognising the early warning signs is the first and most important step toward getting help. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, please seek support immediately.
Check Your Gambling Habits
The following questions are adapted from internationally recognised responsible gambling assessment frameworks. Answer them honestly to get a clearer picture of your relationship with gambling. There are no right or wrong answers — this is for your own awareness only.
How to Self-Exclude on 88fn
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on the platform. The process takes less than five minutes and comes into effect within 24 hours of your request being confirmed.
Access your 88fn account using your registered credentials. If you are unable to log in, contact support at [email protected] and a team member will initiate the self-exclusion process on your behalf, with identity verification.
Navigate to your profile menu in the top-right corner and select "Account Settings". From there, choose the "Responsible Gaming" tab to access all player protection tools including self-exclusion.
Choose your exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent (indefinite). Consider your situation carefully. If you are unsure, choose the longer option — you can apply to reopen your account after the period ends, subject to a mandatory 30-day review.
Review the terms of self-exclusion displayed on-screen. Check the confirmation box and submit your request. You will receive a confirmation email at your registered address within 24 hours confirming that your account has been locked.
If you have funds remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion, you may submit a withdrawal request to your registered bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account before the lock takes full effect. Contact support if you need assistance processing a final withdrawal.
Strict 21+ Age Verification
88fn enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and maintain robust verification processes to ensure compliance across Bangladesh.
Every 88fn account must complete identity verification before processing a withdrawal. Accepted documents include the Bangladesh National ID Card (NID), valid Passport, and Driving Licence. Date of birth is verified against the submitted document. Accounts belonging to persons under 21 are closed immediately and any deposits are refunded.
Our risk management team conducts periodic reviews of account activity to identify indicators of underage access, including device-sharing patterns, unusual deposit behaviours, and inconsistencies in verification data. Accounts flagged for review are temporarily suspended pending re-verification.
If you share a device with a younger family member in Dhaka, Sylhet, Rajshahi, or elsewhere, we recommend enabling device-level parental controls and keeping your 88fn account credentials private. Never share your login details with anyone, and always log out after each session on shared devices.
If you suspect that a person under 21 has accessed or registered on the 88fn platform, report it immediately to [email protected] with any relevant account information. All reports are investigated confidentially. We cooperate fully with parents, guardians, and relevant authorities to address confirmed cases of underage access.
