Our Responsible Gaming Tools

8mbt provides multiple protection tools to ensure a safe environment for every member.

Setting Bet Limits

You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly betting limits. Once a limit is set, the system enforces it automatically. This 8mbt tool helps you enjoy gaming while staying within your budget.

Time Limits & Reminders

Playing for long stretches at a time is not good for your health. On 8mbt, you can set a daily gaming time limit. Once the set time is up, the platform will alert you or automatically end your session.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel like you need a short break, activate a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During this time your account will be inaccessible, but it will reactivate automatically once the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gaming is getting out of control, you can opt for a long-term self-exclusion lasting from 6 months to 5 years. Your account will be completely closed for the duration and cannot be reopened before the period expires.

Minor Protection

8mbt strictly ensures that no one under 18 can access the platform. Age verification is mandatory at registration. If you notice suspicious activity from a family member, please let us know.

Help & Advice

If you are experiencing gaming-related problems, the 8mbt support team is available 24/7. We can put you in touch with specialist organisations. There is no shame in it — seeking help takes courage.

Responsible Play Complete Guide

At 8mbt, we believe that gaming is a great source of entertainment when enjoyed responsibly. Learn more about Responsible Gaming below.

1What is Responsible Gaming and why does it matter?

Responsible Gaming means playing online games or placing bets in a way that keeps you in control at all times. It is not a legal obligation — it is part of a mindful way of living. 8mbt believes that responsible play does not mean avoiding gaming altogether, but playing in the right amount, at the right time, and with the right mindset.

Online gaming is growing in popularity across Bangladesh every day. In this environment, every player needs to stay informed. 8mbt is committed not only to entertainment but to the long-term well-being of its members. Our Responsible Gaming program is built to meet international player protection standards.

Remember, gaming is a form of entertainment — not a source of income. If you ever feel that gaming is starting to affect other areas of your life, that's your signal to pause. 8mbt will be there for you when that time comes.

Responsible Gaming is a shared effort — the platform, families, and players all need to work together.

2Signs of Healthy & Responsible Gaming

A healthy gamer always follows a few core principles. 8mbt wants every member to build these habits:

  • Treat gaming as entertainment, not as the sole focus of your life.
  • Decide in advance how much time and money you are willing to spend.
  • Prioritizing family, friends, and career over gaming.
  • Accepting losses calmly and not chasing them to try to break even.
  • Never place bets using borrowed money or by drawing on your savings.
  • Taking regular breaks and making time for other forms of entertainment.
  • Stepping away from gaming during times of stress or low mood.
Ask yourself once a week: is gaming still fun for me, or has it started to feel like a compulsion?

3Recognizing Problematic Gaming

Problematic gaming or gaming addiction doesn't develop overnight — it builds gradually. 8mbt wants you to recognize the warning signs early:

  • Repeatedly placing bets to recover lost money (chasing losses).
  • Hiding gaming habits from family or friends.
  • Spending time on gaming that should go to work, studies, or family.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to game.
  • Taking on debt or depleting your savings to fund gaming.
  • Wanting to stop gaming but being unable to do so.
  • Using gaming as a way to cope with stress.
If you notice three or more of the above signs, contact the 8mbt support team immediately. We will help you access the right support.

Remember, acknowledging a problem isn't a sign of weakness — it's the first and most important step toward taking back control. At 8mbt, we're here for you without judgment.

4The Self-Exclusion Process — How to Apply

Self-Exclusion is 8mbt's most powerful player protection tool. If you feel you need an extended break from gaming, follow the steps below:

1
Go to Account Settings

After logging in, click the profile icon in the top right corner and navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section.

2
Choose Your Self-Exclusion Period

Choose the duration that suits your needs — 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years. A permanent exclusion option is also available.

3
Enter reason (optional)

Letting us know your reason helps us provide better support in the future. However, this is entirely optional.

4
Confirm

Verify your identity to confirm the request. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account will be closed immediately.

5
Email Confirmation

Once self-exclusion is successfully activated, a confirmation message will be sent to your registered email address.

If you attempt to open a new account while self-exclusion is active, it will be detected and closed. This safeguard exists for your own well-being.

5Family Involvement & Parental Controls

Family plays a vital role in ensuring responsible gaming. 8mbt also wants to raise awareness among family members. If you are concerned about a family member's gaming habits, keep the following in mind:

  • Have an open conversation — express your concerns without anger or blame.
  • Keep an eye on changes in their gaming time and spending.
  • Enable parental controls on your child's devices.
  • Contact 8mbt support whenever you need — we're also happy to assist with third-party requests.

Parents can install internet filtering software on their children's devices to restrict access to gaming sites. Under no circumstances does 8mbt welcome anyone under the age of 18 on the platform.

If you believe a family member is struggling with problematic gaming, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We'll handle your concern with full confidentiality.

6Healthy Financial Management

Financial problems are the biggest risk in gaming. 8mbt wants you to stay financially secure at all times. Follow these simple rules for responsible money management:

  • Create a Budget: Set a fixed monthly gaming budget — an amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
  • Keep emergency funds separate: Never use money set aside for rent, food, education, or medical expenses on gaming.
  • Do not take on debt: Never bet with borrowed money or funds from a credit card.
  • Do not chase losses: Continuing to play after a loss with a "I'll win this time" mindset only leads to greater losses.
  • Use deposit limits: Keep the deposit limit feature active on 8mbt to prevent yourself from depositing beyond your set amount.

Before making a deposit at 8mbt, ask yourself — can you afford to lose this money? If the answer is no, it's best to step away from gaming for now. Responsible Gaming means knowing your limits and staying within them.

7Help & Professional Resources

You don't have to face gaming problems alone. 8mbt can point you toward the right support. Beyond our support team, there are several professional organisations that work specifically on gaming addiction:

  • Mental Health Professionals: A professional counsellor or psychologist can help you make meaningful changes in your behaviour.
  • Support Groups: Talking to others who have been through the same experience can often be more effective than formal treatment.
  • Family Advice: Family therapy can help repair relationships that have been strained by gaming problems.
  • Financial Advisor: If gaming has led to financial difficulty, a financial advisor can help you find a path to recovery.

Contact 8mbt through our live chat support or by email. We take every message seriously and handle it with complete confidentiality. Remember — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

For any Responsible Gaming support, email us at: [email protected] — We'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Frequently FAQ

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about Responsible Gaming.

Log in to your 8mbt account and go to Profile Settings. Under the "Responsible Gaming" option, you'll find all available tools. Bet limits, time limits, cooling-off, and self-exclusion — everything is managed in one place.

Once your self-exclusion period ends, you may apply to reactivate your account. However, it will not be reopened automatically — you must consciously choose to reactivate it. For permanent self-exclusion, account reactivation is not possible.

Yes, bet limits can be lowered at any time and the change takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit is subject to a 24–72 hour cooldown period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Third parties cannot directly control an account, but if you notify our support team we will verify the situation and take appropriate action. Parents can also contact us directly regarding their child's account.

8mbt verifies age at the point of registration. Identity verification is required in any case of suspicion. If an account is found to have been opened with false information, it is closed immediately upon detection and any deposited funds are returned.
