The Pillars of Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at bet188 is not a formality — it is the foundation of our platform. Every feature is built with your protection in mind.

Set your own limits

Decide in advance how much you'll deposit or are willing to lose — daily, weekly, or monthly. If you hit the limit, the system will alert you and stop further activity.

Take a cooling-off break

If you need to clear your head, you can take a gaming break anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, account login will be completely disabled.

Self-Exclusion Feature

If you feel like a dependency is forming, activate Self-Exclusion immediately for a period of 6 months to 5 years. This is your decision, and we respect it.

Session Time Tracking

Your time on screen is displayed as you play. Once your session limit is reached, the system will remind you to take a break.

Transaction History Review

You can view your full deposit, withdrawal, and betting history for the last 30, 90, or 180 days at any time — full transparency, always.

Age Verification

Only adults aged 18 and above may participate on bet188. Age verification through the KYC process is mandatory.

What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?

Responsible gaming is more than following rules — it is a mindset. At bet188, we believe gaming should be a healthy form of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial hardship. When gaming starts to feel like a burden rather than a pleasure, that is a sign something is not right.

Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh, which makes responsible play more important than ever. Healthy gaming means enjoying it while keeping a balance with family, work, and social life. bet188 is here to help you maintain that balance.

Recognizing Early Signs of Problem Gaming

It is not always easy to notice when gaming is getting out of hand. Watch for the signs below — if they sound familiar, it may be time to seek help:

  • Chasing losses by continuing to play in an attempt to win back money.
  • Neglecting daily responsibilities, family, or work because of gaming.
  • Spending beyond your betting budget and regretting it later.
  • Hiding your gaming habits from family or friends.
  • Feeling restless, angry, or irritable when you are unable to game.
  • Spending money on gaming by taking out loans or draining your savings.
  • Being unable to control your gaming — wanting to stop but not being able to.
Keep in mind: Experiencing these signs is not a sign of weakness. It is a health matter, and with the right support, it can be addressed.

How to Set Self-Limits on bet188

Go to Account Settings on bet188 and find the "Responsible Gaming" section. From there, you can set your own limits in just a few steps:

  • Deposit limit: Set a deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly.
  • Loss Limit: The system will automatically stop you once your losses reach the set limit.
  • Bet Limit: Set a maximum stake per bet in advance.
  • Session Time: Set a time limit for how long you play each session.

Limits take effect immediately once set. However, increasing a limit requires a 7-day waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive overspending.

Important: Responsible gaming tools only work when you honestly assess your own situation. Ask yourself the hard questions.

For Families — Help Someone You Care About

If you think someone close to you is struggling with gaming, talk to them calmly. Skip the blame — offer empathy and support instead. bet188's support team can also provide guidance for family members.

Remember, the person struggling with gaming is often suffering the most. With the right support, recovery is possible.

5 Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming

  • Do not treat gaming as a source of income — it is entertainment.
  • Only bet money you can afford to lose without it affecting your life.
  • Avoid gaming when you're upset or in a bad headspace.
  • Once your budget for the day is gone, stop — don't dip into the next day's budget.
  • Keep other enjoyable activities in your life — friends, family, hobbies.
