88b | Responsible Gaming Guide — Bet Safely and Stay in Control

88b believes real enjoyment comes from healthy entertainment. This responsible gaming guide is here to help you play safely, mindfully, and in control.

Chapter 1

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying betting as a form of entertainment — where you set your own limits, manage your own budget, and stay in full control of your play. At 88b, responsible gaming isn't an obligation; it's a healthy habit that makes your experience even better.

Betting is fundamentally a game of chance. There are no guaranteed wins, and the possibility of losing is always there. Before you play, remember — only bet what you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. That's the essence of responsible gaming.

88b provides a range of responsible gaming tools to help you stay informed and in control. Use them and enjoy your experience on the platform.

Keep in mind: Betting should never be treated as a source of income. Think of it as entertainment — the same way you'd spend money on a movie ticket or a meal out.

88b's Responsible Gaming Principles

At 88b, we follow a set of core principles for responsible gaming and encourage all our users to do the same.

Play for fun: See betting as a source of fun, not a way to make money.
Set a budget: Set a budget for how much you'll spend each week or month — and stick to it.
Manage your time: Avoid long, unbroken sessions. Take regular breaks.
Accept your losses: Don't chase losses by placing bigger bets to recover what you've lost.
Don't bet on impulse: Never bet when you're angry, frustrated, or under the influence of alcohol.
Family and relationships come first: Betting should never take priority over family relationships or responsibilities.
Don't bet with borrowed money: Betting with borrowed or loaned money is a serious risk.

Following these principles keeps betting enjoyable and ensures it never has a negative impact on your life.

88b's Responsible Gaming Tools

88b has developed a set of effective responsible gaming tools to help users stay in control. These tools are easily accessible from your account settings.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one takes 24 hours.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss amount for a given period in advance. Once you reach that limit, you'll automatically be unable to place any more bets.

Session Time Limit

Set how long you want to play in one session. You'll receive a reminder when time is up, or the session will end automatically.

Cooling-Off Period

If you need a short break, you can suspend your account for anywhere between 1 day and 6 weeks. No betting will be possible during this time.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently close your account for a period of 6 months to 5 years. During this time, the account cannot be reopened.

Activity Report

View your betting history, total spending, and time played in a detailed report. Stay informed and make better decisions.

To use these tools, log in to your account and go to Settings > Responsible Gaming. Our support team is always available if you need any assistance.

Chapter 5

Self-Assessment

Ask yourself the questions below. Answer honestly — this is just for you.

Do I frequently spend more than my planned budget?

Do I feel the urge to bet more to recover my losses?

Do I hide my betting activity from family or people close to me?

Do you feel irritable or restless when you're unable to bet?

Have I ever placed bets using borrowed money or funds meant for bills?

Is betting affecting my work, relationships, or health?

Have I tried to stop betting but found I couldn't?

If you answered "Yes" to 2 or more questions, it's a good idea to take a break and speak with our support team.

Chapter 6

Self-Exclusion Process

Self-Exclusion is a powerful tool that lets you take a complete break from betting for a set period of time. The Self-Exclusion process on 88b is simple and effective.

Open Responsible Gaming Section

Go to Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" option.

Choose Self-Exclusion

Choose your preferred duration — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years.

Confirm

Verify your identity to confirm the request. Self-exclusion will take effect immediately.

Get Support

Alongside self-exclusion, our support team is here to provide emotional and mental health assistance.

Attempting to create multiple accounts during a self-exclusion period is prohibited and subject to penalties. Our system detects this automatically.

Chapter 7

Minor Protection

No one under the age of 18 may create or use an account on 88b. This is one of our strictest policies. We believe it is the responsibility of every parent and platform to keep children and teenagers completely away from betting.

Age verification is mandatory at the point of registration.
Official government-issued ID may be requested at any time if there is reasonable cause for verification.
Accounts identified as belonging to minors are closed immediately.
Accounts are investigated upon parental request.

Advice for Parents: If you suspect your child is using 88b or a similar platform, contact our support team immediately. We'll act fast. Make sure parental controls are enabled on your devices.

Common Questions About Responsible Gaming

Yes, you can increase your deposit limit, but it takes 24 hours to come into effect. This delay is intentional — to prevent impulsive decisions. Reducing or cancelling a limit takes effect immediately.

No. Self-Exclusion is a firm commitment and your account cannot be reactivated before the chosen period ends. Once the period has expired, you may submit a request and our team will verify and restore your account.

A Cooling-Off Period is a short-term break — from 1 day up to 6 weeks. Your account reactivates automatically once it ends. Self-Exclusion is a longer-term commitment — from 6 months to 5 years — and your account will not reopen after the period ends without a separate request.

You can reach the 88b support team directly via live chat or email. Our specialist team will help you take the right steps — and all conversations are kept strictly confidential.

If someone in your family is struggling, talk to them directly — approach the conversation with empathy rather than anger or criticism. You can also contact 88b support, as we can assist with account-related matters even upon third-party requests.
