AB8 Responsible Gaming — Play Safe, Play Smart

Ab8 is more than just an entertainment platform — it's a pledge to maintain a responsible environment. Responsible gaming isn't simply about following rules; it's about looking after the mental and financial well-being of every member.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, and with that growth comes a rise in problem gambling affecting some people's lives. ab8 acknowledges this reality and actively works to reduce that risk.

Responsible gambling means playing within your means — keeping it to what you can afford to lose without it affecting your everyday life, and treating it as entertainment, not a source of income. ab8 believes in this philosophy and provides members with tools and information to help them stay within those limits.

Our responsible gambling programme is built on three core pillars — raising awareness, providing practical tools, and directing members to professional help when needed. All responsible gambling tools on ab8 are completely free and available to every member at any time.

Problem gambling often creeps up gradually — not all at once. There are warning signs to watch for that should prompt you to consider taking a step back.

If you recognise one or more of these signs in yourself, don't ignore them. Use ab8's self-exclusion or deposit limit tools — or reach out to our support team and we'll help you through it.

Ab8 gives every member complete control over their own play. The tools below can be activated at any time from your account settings or through our support team.

• Deposit Limit — Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
• Bet Limit — Set a cap on the maximum amount you can wager on a single bet.
• Session Time Limit — Set up automatic logout after a set period of play.
• Cooling-Off Period — Pause betting for 24 hours up to 30 days — your account stays active but you won't be able to play any games.
• Self-Exclusion — Fully close your account for anywhere from 30 days up to 5 years.
• Reality Check — A reminder will appear on screen at regular intervals to let you know how long you've been playing.

A deposit limit is one of the most effective responsible gambling tools available. Once set, you won't be able to deposit beyond a fixed amount within a given period — the system enforces this automatically.

• Limits take effect immediately once set.
• Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one takes 24 hours — this delay is intentional, so an impulse decision doesn't lead to a higher deposit.
• If you try to deposit after reaching your limit, the system will block the transaction and let you know when the next period begins.
• Limit settings are completely private — no one else can see them.

Sometimes you need a longer break. Self-exclusion gives you that option — choose how long you want to step away from ab8, on your own terms.

• Short-Term Break: Your account can be fully deactivated for 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days.
• Long-Term Break: Self-exclusion is available for up to 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
• During an exclusion, you will not be able to log in to your account and no promotional messages will be sent to you.
• If you have a remaining balance when an exclusion is active, you can withdraw it after the exclusion period ends — not before.
• After the exclusion period ends, you'll need to contact support to reactivate your account — it does not restart automatically.

Choosing self-exclusion isn't a sign of weakness — it's an act of honesty with yourself. ab8 respects that decision and offers full support whenever you're ready to return.

Ab8 strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from using the platform. We have multiple layers of measures in place to protect minors.

• Date of birth is verified at registration — anyone under 18 will not be able to create an account.
• Age must be verified with a national ID before your first withdrawal.
• If there is any doubt about a member's age, additional verification may be requested at any time.
• ab8's marketing materials are never directed at or intended for minors.

Parents can take a few simple steps to protect younger family members — avoid staying logged in on shared devices, keep passwords secure, and enable parental controls on your browser.

Answer the following questions honestly. This isn't a judgment — it's simply a way to help you understand where you stand.

Sometimes things get too hard to handle on your own — and admitting that takes courage. ab8 is always here for you, and if needed, we'll point you toward professional support outside the platform.
