Introduction
bol88 is Bangladesh's trusted online gaming platform offering cricket betting, live casino, slots, and more. We take our responsibility to players seriously. Online gaming is designed to be enjoyable and entertaining, but we recognise that for a small number of people it can become harmful. That is why bol88 has invested in a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that gives players full visibility over their activity and the tools to stay in control.
This page sets out bol88's approach to responsible gaming, the practical tools available to every registered player, guidance on recognising when gaming may be becoming a problem, and how to reach support. We encourage every player in Bangladesh to read this page carefully and to use these tools proactively, even if you do not currently feel that gaming is a concern for you.

Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
bol88 operates as a safe and reliable platform for players across Bangladesh. Our commitment to responsible gaming is built into every part of how we run our service — from the technology we use to verify player age and identity, to the account management tools we provide, to the training our support team receives in identifying and assisting players who may be at risk. We believe that sustainable, long-term player enjoyment requires a foundation of safety and trust.
bol88 does not target vulnerable individuals or those who have indicated that gaming is causing them harm. We actively monitor account activity for signs of problem gaming behaviour and will proactively reach out to players whose patterns suggest they may benefit from our responsible gaming tools. We also work hard to prevent underage access to the platform through robust age verification checks at the point of registration.
Age Restriction — 21+ Only
bol88 is strictly an adult platform. You must be 21 years of age or older to register an account and participate in any gaming or betting activity on the bol88 platform. This requirement applies to all players in Bangladesh without exception. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and have implemented multiple layers of age verification to prevent minors from accessing the platform.
If you are a parent or guardian, we encourage you to take the following steps to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms.
- Keep your devices password-protected and never share your bol88 login credentials with anyone under 21.
- Use parental control software on shared devices to block access to gambling websites.
- Talk openly with young people in your household about the risks associated with gambling and the legal age restrictions that apply.
- If you suspect that a minor has accessed bol88, contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and close the account.
Responsible Gaming Tools
bol88 provides the following responsible gaming tools to all registered players. These tools are available through the account settings section or by contacting our support team directly. All requests are actioned promptly and without judgement.
Deposit Limits
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your bol88 account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before it comes into force, to ensure limits are not raised impulsively. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately. Deposit limits are an effective first step for any player who wants to ensure their gaming spending remains within a pre-defined budget.
Time-Out
A time-out gives you a short, defined break from the bol88 platform without permanently closing your account. You can choose a time-out period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out your account is suspended — you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Your account balance is preserved and you can resume playing once the time-out period expires. Time-outs are ideal for players who need a short cooling-off period or want to pause for a personal reason.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that a short time-out is not sufficient and you need to stop playing for an extended or indefinite period, self-exclusion allows you to close your bol88 account completely. Self-exclusion is a serious step — once activated, your account will be permanently closed and you will not be able to reopen it. Any remaining balance will be returned to you through your registered payment method. If you choose self-exclusion, we strongly encourage you to also use parental control or blocking software on your devices to prevent accidental access to other gaming platforms.
Reality Check Reminders
You can activate session reminders that will notify you at regular intervals — for example every 30 or 60 minutes — about how long you have been playing in a single session. These reminders are designed to help you maintain awareness of time spent on the platform and to prompt you to consider whether you want to continue or take a break. Reality check reminders can be set up through your account settings or by contacting support.
Warning: if you find yourself chasing losses, hiding gaming activity from friends or family, borrowing money to fund gambling, or feeling anxious when you are not able to play — please reach out to our support team immediately. These are warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem.
Recognising a Problem
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. The key is recognising the early signs before the situation becomes serious. Below are some of the most common indicators that gambling may no longer be a healthy leisure activity for you.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended, or more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, even when the losses are mounting.
- Lying to friends, family members, or colleagues about your gambling activity or how much time you spend on gaming platforms.
- Using money set aside for essential expenses — rent, food, bills, transport — to fund gambling activity.
- Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial institutions specifically to fund gambling, or taking on debt as a result of gambling losses.
- Feeling restless, irritable, anxious, or depressed when you are unable to access gambling, or using gambling as a way to escape stress, problems, or difficult emotions.
If you recognise one or more of these signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use one of bol88's responsible gaming tools — starting with a deposit limit or time-out — and to reach out to our support team. There is no shame in seeking help; addressing the issue early is always easier than dealing with it later.
Quick Self-Assessment
Consider the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we recommend reaching out to our support team or using one of our responsible gaming tools immediately.
Have you ever spent more on gambling than you planned or could afford?
If yes, this may indicate that your current deposit limits or budget are not effective at controlling your spending. Consider setting a lower deposit limit on your bol88 account.
Have you ever felt the urge to keep playing in order to win back money you had lost?
If yes, chasing losses is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling. A time-out or self-exclusion can help break this cycle before it escalates.
Have you ever hidden your gambling activity from someone close to you?
If yes, secrecy around gambling is often a sign that you feel your activity has reached a level you are not comfortable with. Speaking to someone you trust, or contacting bol88 support, is a positive first step.
Remember: answering honestly is the most important thing. These questions are not a clinical diagnosis — they are a starting point for reflection. If any of your answers concern you, please do not wait before seeking help.
Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Gaming
Even if you do not currently feel that gaming is a problem, these habits will help you stay in control and ensure that gaming remains a positive part of your leisure time.
- Set a gaming budget before each session and stick to it. Only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose — never with rent, bill money, or savings.
- Set a time limit for each gaming session. Use bol88's reality check reminders to alert you when you have been playing for a set amount of time.
- Never gamble when you are feeling stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair judgement and increase the risk of making poor decisions.
- Treat gaming as entertainment, not as a way to make money. The house always has a statistical edge — gaming should be enjoyed for the experience, not relied upon as income.
- Take regular breaks during gaming sessions. Stand up, stretch, get a drink of water, and return to the game only if you still want to and your budget allows.
- Keep gaming in perspective. If gaming is taking priority over work, family, relationships, or other activities you value, it is time to reassess your habits and consider using one of bol88's responsible gaming tools.
