Protection Tools

AB8's Responsible Gaming Tools & Features

These tools are designed to keep your gaming experience healthy and enjoyable.

Deposit Limit
Stay in control of your spending. Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits take effect immediately once set — and if you want to increase one, there's a 72-hour waiting period.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a break when you need one. You can pause your gaming for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. During this time, you won't be able to log into your account — but your existing balance stays safe.
Self-Exclusion
Activate Self-Exclusion for a long-term break. You can choose a period ranging from 6 months to permanent. Once activated, it cannot be cancelled before a specified time.
Session Time Limit
Decide in advance how long each session will last. Once that time is up, AB8 will send you an automatic reminder and, if needed, log you out.
View Gaming History
Your account holds a complete history of all bets and transactions, so you can understand your own gaming patterns at a glance. Every win and every loss is recorded transparently.
Problem Detection System
AB8's system automatically detects unusual gaming patterns. If anything suspicious is flagged, we'll reach out proactively and offer support.

Our Approach

Why is responsible gaming so important to AB8?

As mobile internet has spread across Bangladesh, online gaming has grown with it. That's perfectly natural — when enjoyed responsibly, cricket betting or casino games can be a genuinely fun form of entertainment. But like any pastime, it works best when you know your limits.

AB8 believes its responsibility goes beyond offering great games — ensuring every player's wellbeing is just as much a part of the job. That's why Responsible Gaming at AB8 isn't a separate section or a standalone page; it's built into the very foundation of the platform.

Gaming becomes a problem when it stops being entertainment and starts causing financial pressure or emotional dependency. Every tool on AB8 is designed to catch that shift as early as possible — because the sooner a problem is addressed, the easier it is to resolve.

Remember — winnings from gaming are not a reliable source of income. The core principle of responsible play is to only bet money that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

How to Get Started

5 Steps to Start Gaming Responsibly

Step 1
Set Your Budget
Decide in advance how much you're willing to spend on gaming each month. Never go beyond that budget — regardless of how your luck is running.
Step 2
Set a Deposit Limit
Log in to your AB8 account, go to Settings, and set a deposit limit. This automatically prevents you from spending beyond your budget.
Step 3
Set Your Session Time
Decide how long you'll play each day. Set a timer, and when it goes off, stop — whether you're winning or losing.
Step 4
Take regular breaks
Take at least one day off from gaming every week. AB8's cooling-off feature makes it easy to stick to that break.
Step 5
Self-Assessment
Review your gaming history once a month. If something feels off, cut back, take a break — and if you need to, talk to our support team.

Warning Signs

6 Signs of Problem Gaming

If you notice any of the following signs in yourself, take action without delay.

Going over your budget
You feel the urge to deposit more even after your set budget runs out — or you're betting with money meant for other expenses.
Chasing losses
Chasing losses by betting more to "recover" what you've lost is one of the clearest warning signs of a problem.
Playing longer than planned
You sit down for an hour and four hours have passed. Keeping track of time is getting harder and harder.
Hiding it from family and friends
You are hiding or lying to people close to you about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
Feeling restless when you're not playing
Not gaming leaves you feeling uneasy, irritable, or in a bad mood — like something's missing.
Impact on work or studies
Gaming is affecting your focus at work, disrupting your sleep, or getting in the way of your daily responsibilities.

Budget Mindset

Example of a Healthy Gaming Budget

Recommended monthly budget breakdown (example: ৳5,000)
Entertainment Gaming ৳1,500 (30%)
Daily spending limit ৳50 (1%)
Gaming Days Per Week Up to 3 Days
Time Per Session Maximum 1 hour
Your Emergency Savings Stay Untouched 100%

Self-Assessment

Are Your Gaming Habits Healthy? Check for Yourself

Read through the questions below and answer them honestly. This isn't a test — it's simply a way to better understand yourself.

1
Did you spend more on gaming last month than you had planned? If the answer is yes, consider setting a deposit limit.
2
Have you ever chased losses by placing bigger bets to win back what you lost? This behaviour can be an early sign of a problem.
3
Have you been spending less time with family or friends because of gaming? If yes, taking a cooling-off period may be a good idea.
4
Do you feel restless or anxious when you're not gaming? This is a sign of dependency, and it's worth speaking to someone on our support team.
5
Have you borrowed money or taken on debt to fund your gaming? If the answer is yes, activate self-exclusion and seek professional help now.
6
Are you starting to see gaming as a source of income, or thinking "one big win will fix everything"? This belief is dangerous and simply doesn't hold up in reality.
Results Analysis
If you answered "Yes" to 1–2 of the questions above — set a deposit limit and session time. If 3–4 answers were "Yes" — take a cooling-off period and speak with AB8 Support. If most or all answers were "Yes" — activate Self-Exclusion and seek professional help.

Minor Protection & Information for Parents

Anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited from participating on AB8. This isn't just about compliance — we genuinely believe keeping minors away from gaming is in their best long-term interest. Age is verified at registration, and before a first withdrawal, users must re-verify with a photo of their national ID or passport.

Advice for Parents

If teenagers are living at home and using your devices, it's worth taking a few precautions. First, keep your device locked with a password or PIN. Second, make sure your children understand that AB8 and other online gaming sites are strictly for adults. Third, if you suspect a child has accessed your account, contact AB8 Support immediately.

Is gaming addiction a real condition?

Yes — the World Health Organization (WHO) recognises Gaming Disorder as a legitimate mental health condition. But there is no shame in it, and recovery is absolutely possible with the right support. If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your life, the first step is acknowledging it. The next is asking for help — AB8's support team is ready to talk, without judgement.

Is AB8 doing this just to tick a compliance box?

No. Responsible gaming is directly tied to AB8's business model. A user who enjoys gaming in a healthy way stays on the platform for the long term. When a user falls into addiction and suffers financial harm, that's a loss for AB8 too. Responsible gaming is genuinely good for us — which is exactly why we take it seriously, rather than just putting up a page and leaving it at that.

Keep in Mind: All responsible gaming tools on AB8 are free and available at all times. AB8 will never discourage you from using them. Using these tools is simply the smart thing to do.

FAQs

Everything You Want to Know About Responsible Gaming

Yes, AB8 runs a variety of daily and weekly promotions for registered members — including free spins, daily check-in bonuses, and loyalty point rewards. To take part, simply log in to your account first. Once logged in, active daily offers will be visible on the home page or in the Promotions section. For the daily check-in bonus, points or bonuses are typically credited automatically upon login. For free spins, you may need to visit the relevant slots game to redeem the offer. For the latest details on ongoing daily promotions, Latest Promotions Check the page or keep push notifications enabled on the mobile app — you'll be the first to know whenever a new offer goes live.

Setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) on AB8 is straightforward, and it makes a real difference to your account security. Go to Account Settings, find the 2FA option under the Security section, and link it to your mobile number or the Google Authenticator app. From then on, every login will require both your password and a six-digit OTP that's freshly generated each time. So even if someone gets hold of your password, they still can't log in without that code — because it only comes to your phone. It's one of the most effective steps you can take to protect your account. If you run into any issues, AB8 Support will walk you through the setup process step by step.
