Responsible Gaming at a88com

Gaming is entertainment. a88com gives every Bangladesh player real tools to stay in control — from daily deposit caps to full self-exclusion. Read this page to understand your options.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

a88com treats responsible gaming as a core part of how the platform operates — not an afterthought. Every account holder in Bangladesh has access to free, in-account tools that limit spending, time, and access when needed. No approval process. No waiting period for most limits.

Our customer support team is available 24/7 by live chat and email. Any responsible gaming request — a deposit cap, a cooling-off period, or a permanent closure — is handled with the same priority as a payment query.

Age Verification – 18+ Only

You must be 18 years old or above to open an account and play on a88com. This is a firm rule with no exceptions.

During registration, all players confirm their age. Before your first withdrawal, a full KYC check is required. Accepted documents include:

  • National ID Card (NID)
  • Passport
  • Driving Licence

KYC documents are reviewed within 24 hours. If age cannot be verified, the account is suspended and any winnings are withheld until verification is complete. a88com does not process withdrawals from unverified accounts.

Tools to Manage Your Play

These tools are available from your account settings or by contacting support. They take effect immediately unless noted otherwise.

Recognise the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. These are common early indicators that your gaming habits may need attention:

  • You spend more money than you planned and feel frustrated when you try to stop.
  • You chase losses — depositing again after losing to try to win the money back quickly.
  • Gaming is affecting your sleep, work, studies, or relationships.
  • You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not playing.
  • You hide your gaming activity from family or friends.
  • You use money meant for rent, food, or other bills to fund gaming.
  • You think about gaming constantly when doing other things.

If two or more of these feel familiar, consider activating a cooling-off period or contacting an external support organisation listed below. You do not need to reach a crisis point before asking for help.

Self-Exclusion Process

Self-exclusion closes your account so that you cannot log in, deposit, or play. It is the most effective tool for players who feel they have lost control.

Steps to self-exclude from a88com

  1. Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".
  2. Include in your email: your registered email address, your preferred exclusion period (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent), and your reason (optional — but it helps our team respond appropriately).
  3. Our team confirms the exclusion within 24 hours and closes your account for the requested period.
  4. During exclusion you will not receive any promotional emails or SMS messages from a88com.
  5. To reinstate after the minimum 6-month period, you must contact support, go through a 7-day cooling-off review, and re-verify your identity before the account is reopened.

a88com will not reverse a self-exclusion during the agreed period under any circumstances, including requests submitted via live chat in a moment of impulse.

Protecting Minors

If you share a device or a bKash/Nagad account with a minor, take these steps to prevent access:

  • Use a strong password that is not shared with anyone under 18.
  • Log out of a88com after every session on shared devices.
  • Use device-level parental controls to block the a88com website and app.
  • Keep payment method PINs (bKash, Nagad, Rocket) private.

If you believe a minor has accessed an a88com account, contact support immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take action within 24 hours.

Questions About Responsible Gaming at a88com

How do I set a deposit limit on my a88com account?
Go to Account Settings in the a88com app or website and select "Responsible Gaming". Choose daily, weekly, or monthly limit and enter the BDT amount. The limit takes effect immediately. If you want to raise an existing limit, the new cap does not apply until after a 7-day waiting period — this cooling-off is intentional and cannot be bypassed.
Can I pause my account without closing it permanently?
Yes. The cooling-off tool lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During this time you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bets. Your account balance is preserved and will be available when the period ends. Contact live chat or email [email protected] to activate it.
What happens to my balance during self-exclusion?
Your account balance remains in your account for the duration of the exclusion. When the exclusion period ends and your account is reinstated after the required review, you can withdraw your balance. a88com will not send promotional offers or bonuses to any self-excluded account.
What documents does a88com accept for age verification?
a88com accepts three types of government-issued ID: National ID Card (NID), Passport, and Driving Licence. Documents must be valid, clearly legible, and show your full name and date of birth. Upload them through the account verification section. Review takes up to 24 hours.
Is my responsible gaming request kept confidential?
Yes. All responsible gaming requests — including self-exclusion, limit changes, and cooling-off — are handled by our dedicated support team and are not shared with third parties. Your reason for requesting exclusion is optional and stored only to help our team respond appropriately.
What is the minimum self-exclusion period at a88com?
The minimum self-exclusion period is 6 months. You can also choose 1 year, 5 years, or permanent closure. Once active, the exclusion cannot be reversed before the period ends — even if you change your mind. After the minimum 6-month period, reinstating your account requires a 7-day review and fresh identity verification.

Ready to play within your limits? a88com is here when gaming is at its best — fun, controlled, and on your terms.
