1. Our Commitment to Player Safety

How bz88 approaches responsible gaming and why player wellbeing is central to everything we do.

At bz88, we believe that gaming should be an entertaining and enjoyable experience — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or personal harm. Our responsible gaming programme is built on a simple principle: every player in Bangladesh deserves the tools, information, and support they need to make informed decisions about their gambling activity at all times.

bz88 operates a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that includes account-level controls, proactive monitoring, and clear escalation pathways for players who feel their gambling is becoming a problem. We train our customer support team to recognise the early signs of problem gambling and to respond with sensitivity and appropriate guidance when a player reaches out for help.

We are committed to maintaining a platform where gambling remains a leisure activity rather than a compulsion. This means we actively discourage chasing losses, we do not market bz88 to vulnerable individuals, and we enforce a strict minimum age of 18 years for all players on every service we offer. Whether you are placing a bet on a BPL cricket match, spinning the reels on your favourite slot, or joining a live casino table — your safety comes first at bz88.

Player Wellbeing First

Every feature and policy at bz88 is designed with player wellbeing as the primary consideration. Profit never takes precedence over the safety of our players.

Practical Control Tools

bz88 provides real, functional tools — not just policy statements. Deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion can be activated directly from your account settings.

Trained Support Team

Our support agents are trained in responsible gaming best practices and can help you access any account control tool or connect you with professional support services.

No Targeting of Vulnerable Players

bz88 does not target marketing at players who have self-excluded, set deposit limits, or shown indicators of problem gambling behaviour.

No Chasing-Loss Promotions

bz88 never designs promotional offers that incentivise players to chase losses or continue playing after reaching their personal spending limits.

Strict 18+ Enforcement

Age verification is mandatory at bz88. No player under the age of 18 may register or access any bz88 service, including sports betting, live casino, and slots.

2. Player Safety Tools Overview

A summary of the account-level controls bz88 provides to help every player maintain healthy gaming habits.

bz88 gives every registered player access to a suite of responsible gaming controls that can be applied to their account at any time. These tools are designed to be easy to activate, effective immediately or within a short processing window, and — where appropriate — difficult to reverse quickly so that impulsive decisions do not undermine their protective purpose.

Financial

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps in Bangladeshi Taka to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with.

Financial

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period. Once reached, no further bets can be placed until the limit period resets.

Time

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. bz88 will alert you when your session is approaching your limit and automatically log you out when it is reached.

Time

Time-Out / Cooling Off

Take a break from bz88 for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — without permanently closing your account.

Account

Self-Exclusion

Permanently or long-term exclude yourself from bz88. Self-exclusion periods range from 6 months to lifetime. This is our strongest protective measure.

Account

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that display how long you have been playing and your net session balance to keep you grounded in reality.

Account

Activity History

Review a full log of your gaming sessions, wagers, deposits, and withdrawals at any time from your bz88 account dashboard.

Support

Direct Support Access

Our support team is available every day between 09:00 and 22:00 BST (UTC+6) to help you activate any tool or discuss your options confidentially.

3. Deposit Limits

How bz88's deposit limit system works and how to set limits that fit your personal budget.

Deposit limits are one of the most effective financial responsible gaming tools available to bz88 players. By setting a cap on how much you can deposit within a given period, you establish a clear, enforceable boundary on your gambling spending before a session even begins — rather than relying on willpower in the moment.

bz88 offers three deposit limit periods: daily (resets every 24 hours at midnight BST), weekly (resets every Monday at 00:00 BST), and monthly (resets on the first day of each calendar month). You can set all three simultaneously. Limits are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) and apply cumulatively across all deposit methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and partner banks.

Reducing a limit takes effect immediately — the lower cap applies as soon as you save your changes. Increasing a limit is subject to a 72-hour cooling-off period before the higher limit takes effect. This delay is intentional: it is designed to prevent impulsive decisions made during a losing session from immediately removing a protective boundary.

How to Set Deposit Limits: Log in to your bz88 account, navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits, enter your preferred ৳ amount for each period, and click Save. Your limits will be active immediately. You can view your current utilisation at any time from the same screen.
Important: Deposit limits apply to deposits only, not to winnings that are re-wagered from your existing account balance. If you feel you need stronger financial controls, consider also setting a loss limit or activating a session time limit to complement your deposit cap.

4. Time-Out & Cooling-Off Periods

Taking a short break from bz88 without permanently closing your account.

A time-out is a temporary voluntary suspension of your bz88 account. It is designed for players who feel they need a short break from gambling but do not wish to permanently close their account or commit to a long-term self-exclusion. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bets on the bz88 platform. Your account balance is preserved and remains accessible once the time-out period expires.

bz88 offers the following time-out durations: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, and 6 weeks. Time-outs cannot be reversed or shortened once activated — this is a deliberate design choice to ensure the tool provides genuine protection rather than a trivially bypassable inconvenience. If you feel you need more than 6 weeks away from gambling, we strongly encourage you to consider a formal self-exclusion instead.

  1. Log in to your bz88 account using your registered credentials.
  2. Go to Account Settings from the top navigation menu.
  3. Select Responsible Gaming from the settings sidebar.
  4. Click Time-Out / Cooling Off and choose your preferred duration.
  5. Confirm your selection. Your account will be suspended immediately and you will be logged out automatically.
  6. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address with the time-out end date and time (in BST, UTC+6).
Marketing During Time-Out: When you activate a time-out, bz88 will immediately suppress all promotional marketing communications to your registered email address and mobile number for the duration of the time-out period. You will not receive bonus offers or promotional messages while your account is suspended.

5. Self-Exclusion

bz88's most robust player protection tool for those who need to stop gambling entirely.

Self-exclusion is a formal, binding agreement between you and bz88 to prevent you from accessing the bz88 platform for a specified period. Unlike a time-out — which is a short-term break — self-exclusion is intended for players who recognise that gambling has become or is becoming a serious problem and who need a firm, long-term barrier to accessing gambling services.

bz88 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, and lifetime. Once a self-exclusion is activated, your account is suspended immediately and cannot be reactivated until the chosen period has fully elapsed — and even then, reactivation requires a mandatory 24-hour reflection period and a formal request to our support team. Lifetime self-exclusion is permanent and cannot be reversed under any circumstances.

During self-exclusion, bz88 will: close your account to all logins and deposits; void any pending bonus offers; retain your account balance securely for withdrawal upon your request; permanently suppress all marketing communications; and flag your account to prevent re-registration using the same identity documents.

Attempting to Circumvent Self-Exclusion: Creating a new bz88 account using different credentials while under a self-exclusion order is a breach of our Terms & Conditions. If bz88 identifies that a self-excluded player has attempted to re-register, both accounts will be permanently closed and any funds in the new account may be withheld pending review. Please respect your self-exclusion for your own wellbeing.

To activate self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request — [Your Username]" and specify your preferred exclusion period. Our team will process your request and confirm account suspension within 24 hours. You may also activate self-exclusion directly from Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion.

6. 18+ Age Restriction Policy

bz88's strict minimum age policy and how we verify player age to protect minors.

bz88 operates a strict minimum age policy: no person under the age of 18 may register an account, access the bz88 platform, or use any bz88 service under any circumstances. This policy applies to all bz88 products — cricket betting, live casino, slots, instant games, and any future service offerings. 18+

Age verification is conducted as part of the standard KYC (Know Your Customer) process. All players are required to confirm their date of birth during registration. Before any withdrawal can be processed, players must provide a government-issued identity document (National ID card, passport, or birth certificate) that confirms they are aged 18 or above. Accounts where age cannot be verified will be suspended until verification is completed.

bz88 encourages parents and guardians in Bangladesh to take an active role in preventing underage access to online gambling platforms. Practical steps include keeping personal devices password-protected, using parental control software, and having open conversations with young people about the risks of gambling. If you suspect that a minor has accessed the bz88 platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected].

Mandatory KYC Verification

Every player must complete identity verification before making a withdrawal. KYC documents are checked against the date of birth provided at registration to confirm age eligibility.

Immediate Account Closure

Any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be permanently closed without notice, regardless of account balance or wagering activity.

7. Recognising Problem Gambling

Common warning signs that gambling may be having a negative impact on your life or the life of someone you care about.

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise, especially from the inside. Gambling becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with your financial stability, relationships, work or study, mental health, or personal wellbeing. The warning signs below are indicators that it may be time to take a break, seek support, or use bz88's responsible gaming tools.

Chasing Losses Continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money already lost, often increasing stake sizes in the process.

Gambling With Money You Cannot Afford Using money set aside for rent, food, bills, or family expenses to fund gambling activity.

Inability to Stop Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or experiencing strong urges to gamble that are difficult to resist.

Lying About Gambling Hiding the amount of time or money you spend gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.

Neglecting Responsibilities Missing work, family commitments, or important appointments because of time spent gambling.

Borrowing Money to Gamble Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit to fund gambling activity.

Mood Changes Related to Gambling Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling, or gambling as a way to escape stress or negative emotions.

Increasing Bet Sizes Needing to bet larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement or engagement.

Failed Attempts to Cut Back Having tried and failed on multiple occasions to reduce or stop gambling behaviour.

If You Recognise These Signs: You are not alone, and help is available. Contact bz88 support at [email protected] to activate a time-out or self-exclusion, or reach out to a professional counselling service. Taking the first step is the hardest part — bz88 is here to support you through it.

8. Self-Assessment Checklist

A set of honest questions to help you evaluate your relationship with gambling.

The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible gambling self-assessment frameworks. Answer honestly. If you find yourself answering "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly recommend that you contact our support team or consider activating a time-out or self-exclusion on your bz88 account.

Honest Self-Assessment Questions

Q1 Have you ever gambled with money that was budgeted for essential expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or children's education?
Q2 Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by placing more bets immediately after a losing session?
Q3 Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to reduce or stop your gambling activity?
Q4 Have you ever lied to a family member, friend, or colleague about how much time or money you have spent gambling?
Q5 Have you ever missed work, a family occasion, or an important responsibility because you were gambling or thinking about gambling?
Q6 Have you ever borrowed money — from a friend, family member, bank, or any other source — specifically to fund gambling?
Q7 Have you ever felt that you needed to gamble with larger and larger amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement?
Q8 Have you ever gambled as a way to escape from problems, stress, loneliness, anxiety, or depression rather than purely for entertainment?
Q9 Have you made repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down, control, or stop your gambling behaviour?
Q10 Has gambling ever caused significant problems in your relationships with family members, friends, or colleagues?
Interpreting Your Results: If you answered "yes" to 1–2 questions, your gambling habits may benefit from some additional personal limits — consider setting a deposit cap or session time limit. If you answered "yes" to 3 or more questions, we strongly encourage you to activate a time-out or self-exclusion and seek support from a professional counsellor. Remember: asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

9. Getting Help & Support

How to contact bz88 and where to find professional support if gambling is affecting your life.

If you are concerned about your own gambling habits or those of someone close to you, the most important step is to reach out. You do not need to be in crisis to ask for help — even early conversations can make a significant difference in preventing gambling from escalating into a serious problem. bz88's support team is available every day between 09:00 and 22:00 Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6) and will handle all responsible gaming enquiries with complete discretion and empathy.

Professional Support: bz88 encourages players who are experiencing gambling-related difficulties to seek professional support in addition to using our in-platform tools. Speaking with a qualified counsellor or a trusted person in your community — including religious leaders, family doctors, or social workers available across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other cities in Bangladesh — can provide valuable perspective and personalised guidance. Please reach out to a professional if you feel gambling is having a significant negative impact on your life.

bz88 also encourages family members and friends who are concerned about a loved one's gambling behaviour to contact us. We can provide guidance on how to approach the conversation sensitively and outline the options available through the bz88 platform that may help. All third-party enquiries are handled with the same level of confidentiality as direct player requests.

Remember: Gambling is meant to be entertaining. It should never be treated as a way to make money, solve financial problems, or cope with emotional difficulties. Set limits before you play, stick to your budget, and take regular breaks. bz88 is here to support you every step of the way. 18+
