Play Smart.
Stay in Control
with 8bdt.
8bdt believes that gaming should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment. Our responsible gaming framework gives every player on our Bangladesh platform the tools, information, and support they need to keep gambling fun, safe, and firmly within their personal limits.
Why the 21+ Rule Matters
At 8bdt, the 21+ age restriction is not simply a regulatory formality — it is a genuine commitment to protecting young people in Bangladesh from the potential harms of gambling. Research consistently shows that individuals whose brains are still developing are significantly more susceptible to forming problem gambling habits. Our age verification process is a core part of our responsible gaming framework.
Every account registered on the 8bdt platform is subject to identity verification. We cross-reference submitted documents — including National ID cards and passport data — against account registration details to confirm that each player meets the minimum age requirement before any deposit or gameplay is permitted.
Built-In Controls to Keep You Safe
8bdt provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools — all free to use, all effective immediately upon request. These tools are available to every registered player on the platform.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once a limit is in place, it activates immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Session Time Limits
Define how long you want to play in a single session. When your chosen session time is reached, 8bdt will display a clear notification and, if you choose, automatically log you out. This helps prevent the "time blindness" that can occur during extended gaming sessions.
Time-Out Feature
Take a short break from the platform without permanently closing your account. Time-out periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days are available. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account balance is preserved.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is no longer under your control, self-exclusion allows you to block access to your 8bdt account for a defined period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, all marketing communications are also suspended.
Loss Limits
Set a ceiling on the total amount you are prepared to lose over a given period. When your loss limit is reached, further betting is suspended for the remainder of the period. This tool is particularly effective for players who want to maintain strict control over their gaming budget.
Reality Checks
Enable regular on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered and won or lost during that session. Reality checks can be set at intervals of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes and appear as an overlay during gameplay.
How to Activate Your Protection Tools
All responsible gaming tools on the 8bdt platform are available directly from your account settings. No waiting period, no paperwork — changes take effect immediately. Here is how to access them:
Log In to Your Account
Visit 8bdt.io and sign in with your registered mobile number and password. Ensure you are using a private, secure device and network connection.
Navigate to Account Settings
Click on your account icon in the top right corner of the platform and select "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu to access the full suite of tools.
Select and Configure Your Tool
Choose the tool you wish to activate — deposit limit, session time limit, time-out, or self-exclusion — and enter your preferred value or duration in the relevant field.
Confirm and Save
Review your settings and click the confirmation button. Restrictions activate immediately. You will receive an email confirmation to your registered address once the change is saved.
Contact Support if Needed
If you are unable to access your account settings or prefer to have a tool activated by our team, contact [email protected] — our team is available 24/7 and will assist you promptly and without judgement.
Is Gambling Becoming a Problem?
Answering these questions honestly can help you understand whether your relationship with gambling is still healthy. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use our self-exclusion tool or contact our support team.
Taking a Break Is Always the Right Call
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to any player who feels that gambling is no longer a form of entertainment. At 8bdt, we make the process straightforward and entirely free of judgement.
6-Month Exclusion
A structured short-term break suitable for players experiencing temporary difficulties. Account access is fully blocked during this period.
1-Year Exclusion
A full calendar year away from the platform. Marketing opt-outs are applied automatically. This period provides meaningful space for reflection and recovery.
2-Year Exclusion
An extended exclusion for players who require a longer period away. Re-activation requires a formal request and a mandatory review with our support team.
Permanent Exclusion
A permanent, irrevocable closure of your 8bdt account. This option is available to any player who decides they no longer wish to engage with online gambling in any form.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in oneself. The following behaviours are commonly associated with gambling harm. If several of these apply to you or someone you know, seeking help promptly is the right step.
- Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
- Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money already lost
- Lying to family or friends about the amount or frequency of gambling
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Using gambling as the primary way to cope with stress or emotional difficulties
- Borrowing money, taking loans, or selling belongings to fund gambling
- Repeatedly trying and failing to cut down or stop gambling
- Thinking about gambling constantly, even when doing other activities
- Experiencing financial hardship as a direct result of gambling activity
What Responsible Play Looks Like
The vast majority of 8bdt players in Bangladesh enjoy gambling as a leisure activity without it causing harm. The following behaviours characterise a healthy, controlled approach to online gaming.
- Setting a fixed entertainment budget before each session and sticking to it
- Treating gambling as entertainment — not as a source of income
- Taking regular breaks and stepping away when you feel frustrated or tired
- Accepting losses as part of the experience without chasing them
- Keeping gambling as one of many leisure activities, not the only one
- Never gambling while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Using platform tools like deposit limits and reality checks proactively
- Being open with trusted family members about gambling habits
- Logging out and walking away as soon as your session limit is reached
- Reaching out to [email protected] if you feel your habits are shifting

Deposit Limits — Your Budget, Your Rules
One of the most effective ways to keep gambling enjoyable is to set a firm upper limit on how much money you deposit into your 8bdt account over any given time period. Our deposit limit system gives you full control over your spending in a way that is both simple to set up and immediately enforceable.
Deposit limits can be configured at three levels — daily, weekly, and monthly. You can set any combination of the three simultaneously. For example, you might set a daily limit of ৳2,000, a weekly limit of ৳8,000, and a monthly limit of ৳20,000 to match your personal entertainment budget.
Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately — the lower amount applies from the moment you save the change. Increasing a limit, however, requires a mandatory 48-hour waiting period before the higher limit becomes active. This cooling-off period is intentional: it prevents impulsive decisions made in the heat of a gaming session.
If you reach your deposit limit within a given period, the 8bdt platform will prevent any further deposits until the period resets — regardless of whether you attempt to deposit via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or any other supported payment method. The limit applies universally across all payment channels.
8bdt's Responsible Gaming Pledge
Responsible gaming is not a box-ticking exercise at 8bdt — it is a foundational commitment that runs through every aspect of how we operate. We recognise that, while the vast majority of our players in Bangladesh enjoy gambling as a safe leisure activity, a small number may develop difficulties. Our pledge is to those players.
- We will never encourage a player to increase their limits beyond what is prudent for their situation.
- We will never send promotional materials to a player who has activated self-exclusion or a time-out.
- We will respond to all responsible gaming requests within 24 hours and act on them immediately.
- We will train our support team to recognise signs of problem gambling and respond with care.
- We will provide all responsible gaming tools at zero cost to every registered player.
- We will enforce the 21+ age requirement without exception and verify identity before allowing play.
- We will never stigmatise a player who requests help, a time-out, or self-exclusion.
- We will continually review and improve our responsible gaming framework based on player feedback.
