Responsible Gaming at pbc 88

At pbc 88, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that online gambling should be a source of entertainment and excitement, not stress or financial hardship. Our platform serves players across Bangladesh, from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Khulna, and we take seriously our duty to protect every one of those players from the potential harms associated with gambling.

Our responsible gaming framework is built around three principles: prevention, early intervention, and support. Prevention means ensuring that only eligible adults aged 18 and above can open an account and place wagers. Early intervention means giving players direct access to tools — deposit limits, session reminders, time-outs, and self-exclusion — so they can manage their play before problems develop. Support means maintaining a dedicated, English-language support team available around the clock to assist any player who feels that gambling is becoming harmful.

pbc 88 uses automated monitoring systems to identify patterns of play that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, such as rapidly escalating deposit amounts, extended unbroken session times, or repeated attempts to reverse a self-exclusion request. Where these signals are detected, our team may proactively reach out to the player concerned to offer guidance and to remind them of the tools available on their account.

We also recognise that gambling can affect people differently depending on their personal circumstances, financial situation, and mental health. We encourage all players to treat responsible gaming tools not as a last resort, but as a routine part of managing their account — just as they might set a monthly budget for any other form of entertainment.

pbc 88 is strictly an 18+ only platform. It is illegal under Bangladesh law for individuals under the age of 18 to open a gambling account or place any wager. We take this obligation seriously and enforce it through a multi-stage age verification process.

Registration Age Gate

All players are required to confirm that they are aged 18 or above at the point of registration. Providing a false date of birth or misrepresenting your age constitutes a material breach of our Terms & Conditions and will result in immediate account closure and forfeiture of any balances held at the time of closure.

Know Your Customer (KYC) Verification

In addition to the registration age declaration, pbc 88 carries out formal KYC identity verification for all accounts. Players are required to submit a copy of a valid government-issued photo identification document — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport — confirming that they are aged 18 or above. Accounts that cannot be verified within the required timeframe will be suspended until verification is complete.

Protecting Minors

If you are a parent or guardian, we strongly recommend that you take the following steps to prevent minors in your household from accessing online gambling platforms:

• Keep your pbc 88 login credentials strictly private and never allow minors to use your device while you are logged in;
• Enable parental control software on shared devices — several free and paid tools are available for Android and Windows devices commonly used in Bangladesh;
• Discuss the risks of gambling with young people in your household as part of broader digital safety education;
• Log out of your pbc 88 account fully after each session, rather than leaving a browser tab open.

One of the most effective responsible gaming tools available at pbc 88 is the ability to set personalised deposit limits on your account. Deposit limits allow you to cap the total amount of money you can transfer into your pbc 88 account within a defined time period, giving you direct control over your gambling expenditure.

Available Limit Types

pbc 88 offers deposit limits across three time horizons:

• Daily Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit within any rolling 24-hour period, denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳ BDT);
• Weekly Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit within any rolling 7-day period;
• Monthly Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit within any rolling 30-day calendar period.

How to Set or Adjust Your Deposit Limit

1. Log in to your pbc 88 account Navigate to your account settings via the pbc 88 Login page. You will need your registered username and password.
2. Go to Responsible Gaming Settings Locate the Responsible Gaming section within your account dashboard. All limit controls are grouped together in this section.
3. Select your limit type and amount Choose daily, weekly, or monthly, then enter your preferred maximum deposit amount in BDT. Example: ৳5,000 per week.
4. Confirm and save Your new limit takes effect immediately upon confirmation. You will receive an email confirmation to your registered address.

Sometimes the most helpful thing a player can do is simply step away from the platform for a while. pbc 88 offers a range of time-out options that allow you to temporarily suspend access to your account without permanently closing it. Time-outs are ideal if you feel that you need a short break to reassess your play habits, manage stress, or attend to personal matters.

Session Time Reminders

Players can set a session duration reminder within their account settings. Once the specified session length is reached — for example, 60 minutes or 90 minutes — the platform will display a clear on-screen notification reminding you of how long you have been playing and encouraging you to consider taking a break. Session reminders do not automatically log you out, but they provide a consistent prompt to pause and reflect.

Cooling-Off Periods

A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to make deposits and place bets for a defined short-term duration. Cooling-off options available at pbc 88 include:

• 24-hour cooling-off: No deposits or wagering for 24 hours from activation;
• 7-day cooling-off: No deposits or wagering for one full week;
• 30-day cooling-off: No deposits or wagering for 30 calendar days.

During a cooling-off period, you will still be able to log in to your account to review your transaction history and withdraw any remaining balance. You will not receive any promotional communications from pbc 88 during this period.

Reality Check Prompts

Players can enable reality check prompts that display a pop-up at intervals they select — every 30, 60, or 120 minutes — showing the total time elapsed in the current session, the net amount wagered, and the net profit or loss. Reality check prompts are designed to counteract the immersive nature of online gaming and keep players informed about the actual financial picture of their session in real time.

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available at pbc 88. When you self-exclude, your account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, withdraw pending balances (which are returned to your payment method), or place any wagers for the duration of the exclusion period. pbc 88 will also immediately suppress your account from all marketing communications.

Self-Exclusion Period Options

• 6-month self-exclusion: Account suspended for 6 calendar months;
• 1-year self-exclusion: Account suspended for 12 calendar months;
• 3-year self-exclusion: Account suspended for 36 calendar months;
• Permanent self-exclusion: Account permanently closed with no option to reopen.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

1. Contact our support team directly Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered username and your preferred exclusion duration.
2. Verification Our team will verify your identity to confirm that the request is being made by the registered account holder. This is a brief process and will not cause undue delay.
3. Immediate suspension Your account will be suspended within 2 hours of the verified request. Any remaining balance will be returned to your payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account as applicable) within 3–5 business days.
4. Confirmation email You will receive a written confirmation of your self-exclusion period, its start date, and its scheduled end date (or a permanent closure notice) to your registered email address.

Problem gambling can develop gradually and can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It is important to recognise the early warning signs — both in yourself and in people close to you — before the behaviour becomes entrenched. The following are recognised indicators that gambling may be causing harm.

If you recognise three or more of the above signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to make use of pbc 88's self-exclusion tools immediately and to reach out to our support team. Acknowledging a problem early makes it significantly easier to address. You are not alone — problem gambling affects people across Bangladesh and around the world, and effective help is available.

The following questions are adapted from internationally recognised problem gambling screening tools. Answer each question honestly — your responses are not recorded by pbc 88 and are for your personal reflection only. If you answer "Yes" to four or more of these questions, we recommend activating a time-out or self-exclusion and contacting our support team.

pbc 88 maintains a dedicated responsible gaming support channel that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you need help activating a deposit limit, want to request a self-exclusion, or simply need someone to talk to about your gambling habits, our team is here to help — without judgment and with full confidentiality.

General Responsible Gaming Guidance

Beyond the specific tools available on your pbc 88 account, the following general principles represent good practice for any player who wants to keep gambling enjoyable and within safe boundaries:

• Set a budget before you play — decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending, and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment;
• Set a time limit — decide how long you will play before you start, and stick to that limit regardless of whether you are winning or losing;
• Never chase losses — if you have reached your spending limit for the session, log out and come back another time;
• Take regular breaks — step away from the screen every hour to maintain perspective on your session;
• Avoid gambling when emotional — stress, anger, grief, or excessive excitement are all states that can impair decision-making and lead to poor wagering choices;
• Keep gambling separate from alcohol or substance use — impaired judgment during play can lead to decisions you would not make with a clear head;
• Talk to someone you trust — if you are concerned about your gambling habits, sharing those concerns with a friend or family member can be an important first step.
