Betting is for entertainment only — not a source of income. If you feel things are getting out of control, contact our support team right away. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness — it takes courage.

What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means betting in a way where you always stay in control — consciously deciding how much time and money you spend. That awareness is what responsible gaming is all about.

At ab88, we believe a happy and healthy player is our greatest asset. That's why we don't just offer games — we make sure every user can play in a safe and enjoyable environment. Like millions of people in Bangladesh, you may bet for entertainment, but when it starts becoming a compulsion, that's when problems begin.

Research shows that most people start betting with a clear intention — just for fun. But over time, some find themselves caught in a cycle that becomes hard to break. Strained family relationships, financial hardship, and mental stress are all consequences of problem gambling.

Ab88 is with you every step of the way. Our responsible gaming tools — including limit-setting features and self-exclusion options — are here to make sure the fun never stops being fun.

Our commitment: ab88 follows international Responsible Gaming standards. We use advanced technology to detect problematic betting behaviour and proactively reach out to users when needed.

Warning signs of problem betting

If you notice any of the following signs in yourself, it's time to take action:

  • You are spending more than your budget and placing larger bets to recover your losses.
  • Hiding your betting from family or friends.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop betting.
  • Cutting back on work, study, or family time to spend more time betting.
  • Betting with borrowed money or using your savings.
  • Placing bigger bets out of anger or frustration after a loss.
  • Betting is constantly on your mind and you find it hard to focus on anything else.
  • Cutting back on food or other essential expenses to fund your betting.

If three or more of these signs apply to you, don't wait — contact our support team or temporarily pause your account. Asking for help is the smartest thing you can do.

5 Simple Rules for Responsible Betting

Building small habits keeps betting enjoyable. Follow these guidelines and you'll find it easy to stay in control:

1
Set your budget first

Set a fixed budget for betting each week or month and stick to it — not a penny more. Only bet what you can afford to lose.

2
Stick to your time limits

Decide in advance how long you'll bet each day. Set a timer on your phone. When time's up, stop — whether you're winning or losing.

3
Don't chase your losses

Chasing losses with bigger bets is the biggest mistake you can make. If you're on a losing streak, take a break and come back the next day with a fresh mind.

4
Don't bet under stress

Avoid betting when you're angry, sad, or stressed. Your judgment is far more likely to be off in those moments.

5
Let Your Family & Loved Ones Know

Don't treat betting as something to hide. Letting someone close to you know means they can step in and alert you when needed.

We don't just talk — we offer real solutions

💰

Set Deposit Limits

📊

How to set your limits

Setting limits on ab88 takes just a few seconds. Log in, go to Account Settings, and follow the steps below:

1
Go to Account Settings

Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select the "Responsible Gaming" section.

2
Choose your limit type

Choose what works for you — deposit limits, bet limits, or session time limits.

3
Set Amount & Duration

Enter the daily/weekly/monthly amount. Changes take effect immediately.

4
Confirm

Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately. A 24-hour cooling-off period applies if you want to increase a limit.

Tip: When setting limits, choose a realistic amount — it's wise to spend no more than 5% of your monthly income on betting.

How to take a self-exclusion

If you feel you need a break, self-exclusion is a powerful option. During this period, you won't be able to log in or receive any promotions.

Choose your break duration:

7 days
Weekly break
1 month
Monthly break
6 months
Long-Term Break
Permanent
Account Closure

During self-exclusion:

Login disabled100%
Disable Promotions100%
Disable Email Notifications100%
Balance protected100%

Any attempt to open a new account during a self-exclusion period will be detected and blocked. Our system actively monitors for this.
