Responsible Gaming
at w88fb
At w88fb, we believe that gaming should always be fun, controlled, and safe. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, information, and support they need to stay in charge of their play — at all times.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
w88fb was built with the Bangladeshi player in mind — and that means placing player welfare at the very heart of everything we do. We are not simply a gaming platform; we are a community that takes its duty of care seriously. Responsible gaming is not a legal formality for us — it is a founding principle that shapes our product decisions, our support processes, and our platform design.
We understand that the vast majority of our players enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, slots, and instant games as a form of entertainment. For most, a session on w88fb is a fun way to follow the BPL, watch live roulette, or spin the reels after work. We want to keep it that way. Our job is to make sure that the platform never crosses the line from entertainment into harm.
To fulfil that responsibility, w88fb maintains a comprehensive suite of player-protection tools — including deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and full self-exclusion — all available free of charge to every registered player. We also train our customer support team to recognise the early signs of problem gambling and to respond with sensitivity and practical guidance.
Our Pledge: w88fb will never market aggressively to players who have set limits, requested self-exclusion, or contacted us for support. Once a player activates a protection measure, our marketing communications to that player stop immediately and permanently.
Every platform decision at w88fb is measured against its potential impact on player welfare. If a feature could encourage harmful behaviour, it does not ship.
Our 24/7 support team receives ongoing training in responsible gambling awareness and is equipped to assist players who express concern about their gambling habits.
18+ Age Restriction
w88fb operates a strict adults-only policy. All players must be aged 18 years or above to register an account, make a deposit, or place any wager on the platform. This is a non-negotiable requirement — no exceptions are made under any circumstances.
Age verification is conducted at the point of registration. Every new player is required to provide their date of birth, and this information is cross-referenced during the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. We may request a copy of a government-issued National Identity Card (NID) or passport to confirm age before processing a withdrawal or when our systems flag an account for review.
If at any point we have reason to believe that an account holder may be under the age of 18, we will immediately suspend the account pending identity verification. Any winnings accrued by an underage player will be forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
Underage Gambling is Strictly Prohibited. If you are under the age of 18, you must not attempt to register or use the w88fb platform. If you are an adult and are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing gambling websites, we strongly recommend installing parental control software on all shared devices.
Parents and guardians in Bangladesh can use filtering tools to restrict access to gambling content for minors. We recommend using household-level internet filtering, device-level parental controls, and keeping your w88fb login credentials private and secure at all times.
Players must be 18 years of age or older to use the w88fb platform. Age verification is mandatory for all accounts.
Player Protection Tools
w88fb provides every registered player with a full set of free protection tools, accessible directly from your account settings or by contacting our support team. These tools are designed to help you stay in control of how much you spend, how long you play, and how frequently you access the platform.
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in BDT (৳). Once your limit is reached, the platform will decline further deposits until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately but can only be increased after a 7-day cooling-off period.
Define a maximum session duration. Once you reach your time limit, you will receive a notification and be automatically logged out. This prevents extended unplanned gaming sessions and keeps your play intentional and time-bounded.
Specify the maximum amount in BDT (৳) you are willing to lose within a defined period. When your net losses reach this threshold, the platform restricts further wagering until the limit period resets, protecting your bankroll automatically.
Request a short-term break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During a cooling-off period your account remains open but deposits and wagering are suspended. This is ideal when you feel you need a brief pause without permanently closing your account.
Enable on-screen reminders that appear at set intervals — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — displaying how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session. A simple prompt to pause and reflect.
Review your complete transaction and betting history at any time from your account dashboard. Full transparency over your deposits, withdrawals, wager amounts, and wins and losses helps you make informed decisions about your play.
How to activate these tools: Log in to your w88fb account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming. All tools are available instantly at no cost. Alternatively, contact our support team at [email protected] and a team member will activate any tool on your behalf within 24 hours.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive player protection tool available on the w88fb platform. When you self-exclude, your account is completely suspended for the duration of your chosen exclusion period — you will not be able to log in, deposit, wager, or receive promotional communications from w88fb during this time.
Self-exclusion periods are available in the following durations: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and permanent (indefinite). We strongly encourage players who feel that gambling is causing harm to choose a longer exclusion period rather than a shorter one.
Self-exclusion is irreversible during the elected period. A 3-month exclusion cannot be lifted after 2 months on request — this is by design, to protect players from impulsive decisions made during a difficult moment. After the exclusion period ends, reactivation requires a written request, a 7-day mandatory waiting period, and confirmation that the player understands the risks of returning to gambling.
Permanent Self-Exclusion: If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed and your data retained only as required by our legal obligations. Reinstatement is not available. This option is intended for players who have decided that they wish to stop gambling permanently and completely. We respect and support this decision without question.
To request self-exclusion, contact our support team directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and specify your desired exclusion duration. Our team will process your request within 24 hours and send a written confirmation to your registered contact details.
Email [email protected] or use the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings to submit your self-exclusion request.
Select from 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Our team will confirm your chosen period in writing.
Your account will be fully suspended, all marketing communications will stop, and access to the platform will be blocked for the full exclusion period.
After your exclusion period ends, you may request reactivation in writing. A mandatory 7-day waiting period applies before access is restored.
Deposit & Time Limits
Setting financial and time limits is one of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling. w88fb makes it straightforward to place firm boundaries on your activity before you start a gaming session — not after.
Deposit limits cap the total amount of BDT (৳) you can transfer into your w88fb account within a given timeframe. We offer three limit periods:
- Daily limit: Maximum deposit per calendar day (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).
- Weekly limit: Maximum deposit across any rolling 7-day window.
- Monthly limit: Maximum deposit across any rolling 30-day window.
You can set all three limits simultaneously. The most restrictive applicable limit always takes precedence. For example, if your daily limit is ৳2,000 and your monthly limit is ৳30,000, the ৳2,000 daily cap will prevent you from depositing more in a single day regardless of your remaining monthly allowance.
Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before the new higher limit becomes active. This asymmetry is intentional — it prevents impulsive decisions made in the heat of a losing session from bypassing your own financial guardrails.
Session time limits work alongside deposit limits. You can set a maximum session duration — for instance, 60 or 90 minutes — after which you are automatically logged out. Combining a deposit limit with a session time limit gives you two independent layers of protection that work together to keep your gaming controlled and enjoyable.
Recommended Starting Limits for Bangladesh Players: If you are new to setting limits, we suggest starting with a daily deposit limit of ৳1,000–৳2,000 and a session time limit of 60 minutes. You can always adjust these to suit your personal circumstances, but having a starting baseline helps build good habits from the outset.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling — sometimes called gambling disorder — is a recognised condition in which a person's gambling behaviour causes significant harm to themselves, their family, or their finances. It can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. w88fb encourages all players to be honest with themselves about their gambling habits and to seek help early, before problems escalate.
Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life, across all income levels and age groups. It is not a sign of weakness or moral failure — it is a behavioural pattern that, like many other compulsive behaviours, can be addressed effectively with the right support and intervention.
Common warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem include:
- Spending more money on gambling than you can comfortably afford to lose;
- Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial institutions to fund gambling;
- Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when not gambling;
- Thinking about gambling constantly, even when doing other activities;
- Chasing losses — continuing to bet to try to win back money you have already lost;
- Lying to family members or colleagues about the amount of time or money spent gambling;
- Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health in favour of gambling;
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, anxiety, or personal problems;
- Repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling.
If any of the above signs feel familiar, please do not ignore them. The earlier you seek support, the easier it is to regain control. w88fb's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including all Bangladeshi public holidays such as Eid, Pohela Boishakh, Victory Day (December 16), and Independence Day (March 26) — and you can reach us at [email protected] at any time.
If gambling is causing financial or emotional harm to you or your family, please stop playing immediately and contact our support team or a professional counselling service. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out — early conversations are always better than waiting until the situation becomes unmanageable.
w88fb takes a proactive approach to identifying at-risk behaviour. Our platform analytics monitor for patterns associated with problem gambling — such as extended session lengths, rapid repeated deposits, and large bet escalation following losses. Where these patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team may reach out proactively with information about our protection tools.
We will never pressure a player to continue gambling or to increase their stakes. Any communication from w88fb's responsible gaming team is motivated solely by player welfare.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
The following questions are designed to help you reflect on your gambling habits honestly. There are no right or wrong answers — this is a private exercise for your own benefit. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we encourage you to speak with our support team or consider activating self-exclusion.
Answer honestly. This questionnaire is for your personal reflection only — your responses are not recorded or sent to anyone.
Your responses suggest that your gambling habits are largely within a healthy, recreational range. Continue to use our deposit and time limit tools to maintain control and keep gaming fun.
Your responses indicate some warning signs that your gambling may be moving beyond recreation. We strongly recommend setting deposit and session limits now and speaking with our support team.
Your responses suggest that gambling may be significantly affecting your life. Please contact our support team immediately or consider self-exclusion. Reaching out early is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Getting Help
Acknowledging that gambling has become a problem is one of the most courageous things a person can do. If you have reached that point — or if you simply want to talk to someone about your gambling habits — there are several avenues of support available to you.
Contact w88fb Support Directly
Our responsible gaming team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Email us at [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Support" and a team member will respond within a few hours. We can help you activate protection tools, initiate self-exclusion, or simply talk through your options without judgment.
Talk to Someone You Trust
Opening up to a trusted family member, close friend, or community leader can be a meaningful first step. Problem gambling thrives in secrecy — breaking that secrecy, even with one trusted person, often reduces its power significantly. If you are in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or elsewhere in Bangladesh, reaching out to a family doctor or community mental health worker is also a practical option.
Professional Counselling
Bangladesh has a growing network of mental health professionals who are trained to support people dealing with compulsive behaviour, including gambling. We encourage players who need more sustained support to seek professional counselling alongside using our platform tools.
Remember: Seeking help is not an admission of failure. Millions of people around the world successfully manage and overcome problem gambling every year. With the right tools and the right support, recovery is absolutely possible — and w88fb will support you every step of the way.
All responsible gaming requests and support conversations are treated with complete confidentiality. Your account status, your personal details, and the nature of your support request will never be disclosed to third parties except as required by applicable law.

Recording how much time and money you spend gambling each week — and how you felt before, during, and after each session — is a simple but powerful way to build self-awareness and track progress over time.
Decide in advance exactly how much you are prepared to spend — and treat that amount as the cost of an evening's entertainment, not as seed capital you expect to grow. Never gamble money set aside for rent, food, utilities, or family expenses.
