Responsible Gaming
at 8kbe
Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a source of stress, debt, or harm. 8kbe is committed to giving every player in Bangladesh the tools, knowledge, and support needed to stay in full control of their gaming experience.
Gambling Is Entertainment — Keep It That Way
At 8kbe, we believe that responsible gaming is not just a policy checkbox — it is a genuine obligation to every player who trusts us with their time and money. Whether you enjoy cricket betting during a BPL match, spin the reels on slots, or play live casino tables, the fundamental principle remains the same: you should always be in control.
Gambling involves real financial risk. While many players engage with 8kbe purely for entertainment and manage their activity without any difficulty, we recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can become a problem. Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, age, or experience level — and it often develops gradually, making it easy to miss the early warning signs.
This page outlines the tools 8kbe provides to help you manage your account safely, the warning signs to watch for, and the support pathways available if you or someone you know needs help. All tools described here are available free of charge to every registered 8kbe player. If you need to use any of them, please do not hesitate — contact our support team at any time.
8kbe does not encourage problem gambling. We want you to enjoy what the platform offers. The moment gambling stops being fun and starts causing anxiety, financial pressure, or relationship strain, it is time to use the tools on this page or reach out for help.

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
Every 8kbe player has access to the following free tools directly from their account settings. You do not need to contact support to activate most of these — they are self-service and take effect immediately or within the stated timeframe.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you are permitted to deposit into your 8kbe account within a defined time period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once a deposit limit is active, you cannot deposit more than the set amount for that period, even if you attempt to increase the limit. Decreases take effect immediately. Increases have a mandatory 7-day cooling period before they apply, giving you time to reconsider.
Available in Account SettingsLoss Limits
Define the maximum net loss you are willing to accept over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. When your net losses reach the limit you have set, your account will be temporarily restricted from placing further bets or wagers until the limit period resets. As with deposit limits, reductions take effect immediately while increases require a 7-day waiting period.
Available in Account SettingsSession Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gambling session. When your active session reaches the time limit you have defined, you will receive a notification and be logged out automatically. This tool is especially useful for players who find that time passes quickly during live casino or sports betting sessions. You can also enable optional reality-check pop-ups that appear at regular intervals during your session.
Available in Account SettingsCooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account is restricted from placing bets, making deposits, or accessing any gambling features. The restriction cannot be reversed once activated — it runs for its full duration. You may still log in to check your balance or request a withdrawal.
Contact Support to ActivateSelf-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a longer-term break option available for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. When you self-exclude, your 8kbe account is fully suspended and you will be removed from all marketing communications. You cannot reopen a self-excluded account before the exclusion period ends. For permanent self-exclusion, reactivation is never possible. Self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of your request.
Contact Support to ActivateReality Check Reminders
Enable periodic in-session reminders that display how long you have been playing and your net win/loss position for the current session. Reminders can be set to appear every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. Each reminder requires you to actively dismiss it before continuing — this keeps you consciously engaged with your session duration and financial position throughout your play.
Available in Account SettingsHow to Activate Your Tools: Most limit tools (deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, reality checks) are available directly in your 8kbe account dashboard under "Responsible Gaming Settings". Cooling-off periods and self-exclusion requests must be submitted via our 24/7 live chat or by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request". All requests are handled with strict confidentiality and processed within 24 hours.
How 8kbe Protects Its Players
Responsible gaming at 8kbe is built into the platform at every level — from registration through to account management and customer support.
Strict 21+ Age Policy
8kbe enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all registered players. Age verification is conducted at registration and may be requested at any time via our KYC process. Any account found to be held by a person under 21 is immediately suspended. We do not market to or accept wagers from minors under any circumstances.
Transparent Account History
Every 8kbe player has full access to a detailed account history showing all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and game sessions. Reviewing your history regularly is one of the most effective ways to maintain awareness of your gambling behaviour and spot any patterns that might be causing concern.
Marketing Opt-Out
Players can opt out of all promotional communications — including bonus offers, free bet promotions, and seasonal campaigns — at any time via their account settings or by contacting support. Players who have activated cooling-off or self-exclusion are automatically removed from all marketing lists for the duration of their restriction period.
Player Education
Understanding how gambling products work is a key part of responsible play. 8kbe provides clear explanations of odds, house edges, RTP (return to player) percentages for slot games, and how live casino game mechanics operate. Knowing the true probabilities helps you make informed decisions about how you play.
Trained Support Team
Our customer support agents receive training in responsible gaming awareness. If a player contacts support and displays signs of gambling-related distress — such as chasing losses, expressing frustration about financial impact, or asking repeatedly about withdrawal delays — our agents are equipped to sensitively signpost responsible gaming tools and external support resources.
Account Security Tools
Alongside responsible gaming tools, 8kbe offers account security features including login notifications, session activity logs, and the ability to flag suspicious activity. A secure account is a fundamental component of responsible gaming — if your account is accessed by someone else without your consent, contact support immediately to secure your account and review your activity.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look the way people expect. It rarely begins dramatically — more often it develops gradually as gambling moves from entertainment to something that feels necessary. The following are common warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. Recognising these signs early — in yourself or in someone you know — is the first step toward getting back in control.
Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets in an attempt to recover money you have already lost
Gambling beyond your means — spending money reserved for rent, food, bills, or family needs on gambling
Hiding your gambling — lying to family, friends, or employers about how much time or money you spend gambling
Feeling unable to stop — attempting to cut back or stop gambling but finding yourself unable to follow through
Preoccupation with gambling — thinking about gambling constantly, planning your next session, or feeling restless when not gambling
Irritability and mood changes — feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble or after losing
Borrowing to gamble — taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from family or friends specifically to fund gambling
Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, neglecting family duties, or withdrawing from social activities because of gambling
If you recognise any of these signs, please use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools described above, or contact 8kbe support immediately. You can also reach out to the external organisations listed in the Support Resources section below. Seeking help early makes recovery significantly easier.
Ask Yourself These Questions
The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible gambling self-assessment frameworks. Answer them honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use 8kbe's limit tools or self-exclusion feature, and to consider speaking with a gambling support professional.
Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for something else — such as rent, groceries, or bills?
Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by placing more bets (chasing losses)?
Have you ever lied to a family member, friend, or employer about how much you gamble or how much you have lost?
Has gambling ever caused serious financial difficulties for you or your household?
Do you feel a strong urge to gamble that is difficult to resist, even when you know you should not?
Have you ever neglected work, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling?
Do you need to gamble with increasingly large amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
Have you ever felt depressed, anxious, or hopeless after a gambling session — or felt that gambling is your main way of escaping stress?
This is not a clinical diagnosis tool. It is intended to help you reflect on your gambling behaviour. If your answers concern you, please use the tools available on 8kbe or contact our support team. You can also speak with a trusted friend, family member, or a professional counsellor. Taking action early is always the right call.

Tips for Keeping Gambling Fun
The vast majority of 8kbe players enjoy the platform responsibly and without any difficulty. If you would like to keep it that way, the following practical guidelines can help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling over the long term.
Set a budget before you play. Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend in a single session — and treat that amount as the entertainment cost of the session, not as a stake you expect to recover. Use 8kbe's deposit and loss limit tools to enforce your budget automatically.
Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Gambling outcomes are determined by chance. There is no strategy, system, or pattern that guarantees a win. Approach every session with the assumption that you may lose your entire session budget.
Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen at regular intervals. Use the session time limit and reality-check tools to prompt yourself. A break resets your perspective and helps prevent the kind of extended, high-intensity sessions where chasing losses most commonly occurs.
Avoid gambling when emotional. Gambling while stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol significantly increases the risk of impulsive, high-stakes decisions. If you have had a difficult day — whether in Dhaka, Cox's Bazar, or anywhere across Bangladesh — consider waiting until you are in a better frame of mind before opening the 8kbe platform.
Keep gambling in balance. Gambling is one leisure activity among many. Maintain a healthy balance with other forms of entertainment, social activity, and personal commitments. If gambling is crowding out other things you enjoy, that is a signal worth paying attention to.
Protecting Minors from Gambling
8kbe takes its obligation to prevent underage gambling extremely seriously. The minimum age to register and play on 8kbe is 21 years. This requirement is enforced through age declaration at registration and KYC document verification that may be triggered at any point during the account lifecycle.
If you share a device — a mobile phone, tablet, or computer — with younger family members or children, we strongly recommend the following measures to prevent unauthorised access to 8kbe:
- Use a strong, unique password for your 8kbe account and never share it with anyone, including other adults in your household
- Enable device-level screen lock with biometric (fingerprint or face recognition) or PIN access on any device used to access 8kbe
- Always log out of your 8kbe account after every session, especially on shared devices
- Use parental control software on shared home computers or tablets to restrict access to gambling websites for younger users
- Talk openly with young people in your household about the risks of gambling — education is the most effective long-term protection
- Report suspected underage accounts by emailing [email protected] with subject "Under-Age Account Report" — we investigate all reports within 24 hours
🔞 21+ Only: By maintaining an active 8kbe account, you confirm you are 21 years of age or older and that you are not playing on behalf of, or with funds belonging to, any person under the age of 21. Violations of this policy will result in immediate account suspension and forfeiture of any winnings, in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
