1. What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a source of entertainment — not as a way to earn money or solve problems. At bg88, we believe an informed player always has the best experience.

Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh, with players of all ages enjoying casino games and Sports Betting. But like any form of entertainment, gaming is best enjoyed in moderation. bg88's responsible gaming policy is built with exactly that in mind.

The core principles of responsible gaming are: sticking to a set budget, respecting your time limits, keeping a level head after a loss, and seeking help when gaming starts to feel like a burden.

bg88 always wants to see you as a responsible player — not just a customer.

2. Set Your Limits — Play on Your Own Terms

The most effective approach to responsible gaming is setting your limits before you start. bg88 gives you several types of limits that apply directly to your account.

1

Deposit Limit: Set a maximum on how much BDT you will deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once you set a lower limit, it takes effect immediately.

2

Betting Limits: Set a maximum amount in BDT you're willing to spend per bet or round. This protects you from overbetting in the heat of the moment.

3

Loss Limit: Decide in advance how much you are willing to lose before ending a session. Once you hit that limit, the system can automatically close the session.

4

Time Limits: Set a limit on how long you will play in a day or in a single session. Once the time is up, reminders or automatic breaks will kick in.

Setting limits isn't a sign of weakness — it's what smart, responsible players do. At bg88, you can set or lower these limits anytime from your account settings. Increasing a limit requires a verification process, with an intentional delay built in.

When setting your limits, factor in your monthly income and essential expenses to figure out how much you can realistically allocate for entertainment.

3. Signs of Problematic Gaming — Know the Red Flags

Problem gaming often develops gradually — not all at once. If you notice several of the signs below, it is time to pause and reflect. The first step to responsible play is being honest with yourself.

Chasing losses by placing bigger bets
Unable to stop gaming even when you want to
Hiding your gaming from family or friends
Taking loans or borrowing money to fund gaming
Work, studies, or relationships are being affected
Feeling irritable or restless when not playing
Viewing gaming as a primary source of income
Repeatedly spending more than your set budget

If you recognize two or more of the above signs, please contact bg88 support or activate self-exclusion on your own.

4. Practical Ways to Protect Yourself

Build small, consistent habits for responsible gaming. Stick to them and gaming will always stay an enjoyable activity:

  • Set a budget before you play: Only play with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
  • Manage your time: Set an alarm on your phone. Stop playing when the time is up — win or lose.
  • Don't play under the influence or when stressed: Strong emotions cloud judgment, making it much easier to make poor decisions.
  • Accept losses as part of the game: Wins and losses are both part of gaming. Do not chase your losses by placing bigger bets after a losing streak.
  • Take regular breaks: Step away every 30–45 minutes. Stand up, have some water, take a short walk.
  • Review your gaming history: Your bg88 account shows your full transaction and gaming history. Check it once a month to see how much time and money you are spending.
  • Keep other hobbies and entertainment: Make time for family, friends, exercise, and hobbies outside of gaming.

Gaming is entertainment — not an investment. Keeping that mindset ensures the experience stays positive every time.

5. Self-Exclusion & Cooling-Off Options

Sometimes protecting yourself calls for a stronger step. bg88 offers two dedicated tools for this:

Cooling-Off Period: You can temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or place bets. Think of it as a short break — a chance to step away from gaming.

Self-Exclusion: For longer-term protection, choose self-exclusion. This lets you close your account for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. During this period, you will also stop receiving any promotional messages from bg88.

Contact the bg88 support team to activate self-exclusion. Once active, it cannot be reversed before the set period ends — this is by design.

After requesting self-exclusion, do not attempt to open a new account. This violates our responsible gaming policy and ultimately harms you.

6. Protecting Minors

Bg88 has a strict policy against underage gaming. Age is verified at registration, and KYC documents are requested whenever there is any doubt.

If you live with family and there are children at home, please take the following steps:

  • Always log out of the bg88 app or website when you are done.
  • Keep your device secured with a password or PIN lock.
  • Don't save your password in the browser if others share the device.
  • Use parental control software on your devices.
  • Never share your bg88 account credentials with anyone.

If you suspect a minor has accessed your account and played any games, contact our support team immediately.

7. The Role of Family & Loved Ones

A loved one's gaming addiction can be just as painful for the family. If you think someone close to you is struggling with problematic gaming, be there for them.

A few tips that may help:

  • Express your concerns calmly, without anger or judgment.
  • Encourage open conversations about gaming rather than letting them keep it hidden.
  • Let them know about professional help options, but let them make their own decisions.
  • Get involved in other activities together — walking, cooking, watching a film.
  • Join a support group if needed — don't let this take a toll on your own mental health.

Addiction is a health condition — not a moral failing. Understanding and empathy are the most powerful forms of support.
