Gaming is meant to be fun — and it only stays that way when it's kept in check. Cric88 believes an informed player is the best kind of player, which is why we're committed to giving you the right tools and information.
Your wellbeing and your family always come before the game.
Responsible gaming is more than just betting less — it's a mindset, a way of life. At Cric88, responsible gaming means enjoying gaming as a form of entertainment, not as a source of financial stress or emotional hardship.
Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh. From cricket betting to Live Casino, thousands of people enjoy Cric88 every day. Our responsible gaming program is here to make sure that enjoyment stays healthy.
The three core pillars of responsible gaming are:
Keep in mind: Gaming is entertainment — just like watching a movie or going to a cricket match. It is never a reliable source of income, and it's not a way to recover losses.
Gaming addiction is a real problem that can seriously affect your family, career, and mental health. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized gaming disorder as a legitimate mental health condition.
This issue is particularly sensitive in the Bangladesh context, because:
At Cric88, a happy and healthy player is our greatest success. That's why we don't just provide entertainment — we actively work to keep you safe.
Caution: If you keep placing bets to try to win back what you've lost, that's known as "chasing losses" — a dangerous pattern. Step away right now.
Addiction doesn't happen overnight. It builds up gradually, and you often don't notice it yourself. Answer the following questions honestly:
If you answered yes to 2 or 3 of the questions above, that's a warning sign. Set limits or take a break immediately. If you answered yes to more than 4, please contact our support team.
Recognizing the problem is the first step toward solving it. That takes courage, not weakness.
Cric88 puts you in full control of your gaming. From your account settings, you can set the following limits yourself:
| Tool Name | How it works | Duration | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Set a daily/weekly/monthly maximum deposit limit | Takes effect immediately | Active |
| Bet Limits | Setting a maximum bet amount within a given time period | Takes effect immediately | Active |

| Cooling-Off Period | Take a temporary break from 7 days up to 6 months | Within 24 hours of the request | Optional |
| Reality Check | Periodic reminder popups will appear at set intervals | Takes effect immediately | Optional |
Limit increase requests have a 72-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions.
If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your life, self-exclusion is the most effective step you can take. It's completely free and takes effect instantly upon your request.
What happens during self-exclusion?
Choose your self-exclusion duration:
Important: Once self-exclusion is active, there is no option to shorten the duration. This is intentional — the rule exists to protect you.
To request self-exclusion, email [email protected] or reach out to the support team via live chat.
Cric88 strictly prohibits all gaming activity for anyone under 18 — not just because it's required, but because it's the right thing to do.
How do we protect minors?
Advice for Parents:
If you become aware that a minor is using Cric88, please notify our support team. We will take action within 24 hours.
When someone struggles with gaming addiction, the people around them suffer just as much. If someone you care about is going through this, it's important to know how you can help.
What to do:
What not to do:
Love and empathy are the most powerful forms of support. Face it together, get through it together.
If you need help, don't face it alone. Beyond the Cric88 support team, the following organizations can also assist you:
Asking for help isn't giving up — it's the right move for yourself and your family. Cric88 is always here for you.
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Never go over budget.
Set a daily play time limit. You'll receive an automatic notification when time is up and your session will end.
Your account will automatically pause once you reach a set loss amount. Stop chasing losses in the heat of the moment.
Take a temporary break from 7 days up to 6 months. Your account will be completely inactive during this period.
Fully lock your account for an extended break. Free, instant, and effective.
A popup will appear at set intervals reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've lost.
Decide how much you'll spend before each session. Make sure it's money you can afford to lose — not household or emergency funds. If you lose, accept it. That's the healthy mindset.
Set a specific time of day for gaming. Never cut into meals, sleep, or family time to play more.
"Just one more win" is a common trap that keeps you from stopping. Decide on a winning target before you start a session and stick to it once you hit it.
Gaming while feeling depressed, angry, or anxious makes it harder to make sound decisions. Take a break during those moments.
Review your account transaction history at least once a month. It gives you a clear picture of your spending and helps you stay aware.
Spend time with friends, stay active, read books. A varied, fulfilling lifestyle is the best defence against addiction.
