b188 honors this pledge

Responsible Gaming What is it, really?

Responsible play means enjoying gaming while staying fully in control. At b188, we believe every player has the right to make their own decisions — how much to play, how much to wager, and when to stop.

Responsible gaming is more than just following limits. It is a mindset — one where you understand that gaming is just a game, not the most important thing in your life. Family, work, and health always come first.

The responsible play policy at b188 is built with Bangladeshi players in mind. We want you to enjoy gaming over the long run — not walk away having lost everything in one go.

Core principle: When gaming shifts from entertainment to compulsion, that is when problems begin. The ability to recognize this in yourself is your greatest protection.

Play for entertainment

Think of gaming the way you would watching a film or hanging out with friends — as a leisure activity, not a way to earn money.

Set your budget first

At the start of each month, decide how much BDT you are willing to spend on gaming. Going over that limit is your signal to stop.

Manage your time

Decide in advance how long you will play each day. Set an alarm — and when it goes off, stop.

Keep your emotions in check

Avoid gaming when you are angry, frustrated, or under stress. Decisions made in an emotional state are often ones you will regret.

Do not chase your losses

Chasing losses by placing bigger bets after a losing streak is the most dangerous habit you can develop. Accept today's loss and move on.

Our Protection Features

B188 provides multiple tools and features to help keep you safe. They are completely free to use and can be activated at any time.

💰

Setting a deposit limit

Set your own maximum deposit limit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once set, reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period — to prevent impulsive decisions.

⏱️

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. Once the time is up, you will be automatically logged out and a warning notification will be sent. This is the most effective tool for keeping track of your time.

🔒

Self-Exclusion

Lock your account yourself for a set period — anywhere from 1 day up to 5 years. During this time, logging in will be completely impossible. There is no shame in making this decision for the sake of your mental wellbeing.

📊

Real-Time Gaming Report

View your gaming history, total spend, and win/loss statistics at any time. Transparency is the best form of control — stay aware of your own habits.

🔔

Reality Check

Pop-up messages will appear at set intervals showing a summary of your gaming time and spending. This keeps you aware of where you stand at all times.

🧠

Professional Counseling Connection

If signs of gaming addiction appear, our support team can connect you with a professional counselor or helpline — in complete confidence.

Responsible Play 5 Golden Rules

Follow these five rules and gaming will always stay enjoyable — and never become a burden.

Never bet beyond your means

Only bet money that you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life. Never use funds set aside for rent, food, or your children's education.

Never play with borrowed money

Never place bets using borrowed or loaned funds. Gaming to pay off debt only adds to your stress and can lead to even greater losses.

Not under alcohol or emotional distress

Avoid gaming when you have been drinking, are sleep-deprived, or feeling stressed. Your ability to make sound decisions is significantly reduced in those states.

Take regular breaks

Take a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, drink some water, take a walk — give your eyes a rest from the screen. It keeps both your body and mind refreshed.

Make time for family and friends

Gaming can never replace time spent with family or friends. Maintain your social connections — they are the foundation of good mental health.

Do not be afraid to ask for help

If you feel gaming is getting out of control, contact b188 support or seek professional help right away. Asking for help is a sign of courage.

Problem Warning Signs

If you notice even one of these signs in yourself, do not ignore it. Taking action early is the wisest choice.

😰

Playing more after a loss

Continuously increasing your bets to chase losses is the most dangerous pattern there is.

🤥

Hiding things from family

Lying to or hiding things from family or friends about gaming and spending.

😤

Restlessness when unable to play

Feeling irritable, angry, or restless when unable to game.

💸

Unable to pay bills or debts

Regularly failing to pay bills or accumulating debt due to gaming.

🌙

Skipping sleep and meals

Skipping sleep, meals, or necessary rest in order to keep gaming.

🚫

Neglecting work or studies

Neglecting work, studies, or important responsibilities because of gaming.

Keep in mind: Experiencing these signs is not a sign of weakness — it is a treatable condition. Seeking help is the smartest thing you can do.
