Keep in Mind: Gaming is for entertainment. You should never play with the aim of recovering lost money. If you feel you're losing control, seek help now.

Our Responsible Gaming Tools

88starz provides these features to ensure a safe and controlled gaming experience for all players.

Setting Deposit Limits

Set your own maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount. Once set, the limit cannot be increased before the designated period ends, but it can be lowered immediately.

Session Time Limit

Manage your continuous gaming time. You'll receive automatic alerts after a set period, and your session can be ended if you choose. Taking breaks is a sign of healthy gaming.

Cool-off Mode

Take a self-imposed break from 1 day to 6 weeks. Your account will be inaccessible during this period. It's a highly effective tool for reducing stress.

Self-Exclusion

Exclude yourself from the platform for 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. This takes effect immediately and cannot be changed during the exclusion period.

Loss Limit Tracking

Set your own cap on how much you can lose within a given period. Once you hit the limit, betting stops automatically and you'll receive a notification.

Reality Check

Pop-up notifications appear at regular intervals showing how long you've played and how much you've won or lost. This keeps you grounded in the reality of your session.

What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?

The 88starz Gaming Philosophy

Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming as a source of entertainment — where your spending, time, and emotions all remain under your control. 88starz believes every player should put their life, family, and financial wellbeing first. When gaming becomes a burden, it stops being fun.

Online gaming is growing in popularity across Bangladesh, and that's perfectly normal. But without awareness, the fun can quickly turn into a harmful habit. That's why 88starz is transparent about responsible gaming from the very start, for every player.

88starz Policy

88starz is more than a gaming platform — it's a responsible community. We believe that an informed, healthy player enjoys the best gaming experience in the long run.

Golden Rules of Safe Gaming

At 88starz, we encourage all our players to follow these core principles:

1
Set Your Budget Beforehand

Decide before you start how much BDT you're willing to spend today. Once you've lost that amount, stop playing. Never use money set aside for rent, groceries, or savings.

2
Stick to Your Time Limits

Playing for hours on end causes mental fatigue and poor decision-making. Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Keep gaming out of your family time and work hours.

3
Don't Chase Your Losses

"Chasing losses" — trying to win back what you've lost — is one of the most dangerous habits in gaming. It almost always leads to losing even more. If you're on a losing streak, stop for the day.

4
Don't Play on Impulse

Avoid gaming when you're upset, angry, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol. Decisions made in these states are ones you'll often regret.

5
Winning Is Never Guaranteed — Keep That in Mind

Gaming outcomes are based entirely on chance and random results. No strategy or system can guarantee a win. Think of gaming as entertainment, not an investment.

Keep in Mind

You can set deposit limits, session time limits, or activate cool-off mode anytime from your 88starz account settings. All changes take effect immediately.

Recognize the Signs of Problem Gaming

Kept Secret
