Responsible Gaming at abe8
We believe gaming should be fun, fair, and safe. Discover the tools and resources abe8 provides to help you stay in control at all times.
Gaming as Entertainment, Not an Obligation
At abe8, we are deeply committed to the wellbeing of every player on our platform. Online gaming and cricket betting are intended to be a source of entertainment — a way to enjoy the thrill of the game, not a means to generate income or resolve financial difficulties. We take our responsibilities seriously, and we work hard to ensure that every player across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and beyond has access to a safe and enjoyable experience.
Responsible gaming means setting boundaries, understanding the risks, and knowing when to step back. abe8 provides a suite of practical tools to help you manage your gaming activity effectively. Whether you need to set a daily deposit limit, take a short break, or exclude yourself from the platform entirely, our support team and built-in account features are always ready to assist you.
Tools to Keep You in Control
21+ Only — No Exceptions
abe8 operates a strict minimum age policy across all its products — casino games, cricket betting, crash games, and slots alike. Gambling is an adult activity, and we take our obligation to prevent underage gaming with the utmost seriousness. All new players are required to complete identity and age verification before any real-money activity is permitted on the platform.
For Adults Aged 21 and Above
All players must confirm they are 21+ years old during registration. Providing false age information is a violation of our Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account suspension.
Limits, Time-Outs & Self-Exclusion Explained
abe8 gives every registered player direct access to a range of protective tools through their account settings. These tools are designed to give you full autonomy over how, when, and how much you play. They are available at any time — you do not need to be in financial difficulty to use them. We actively encourage all players to explore and set these limits as a positive, proactive habit.
Deposit Limits
Set the maximum amount you can deposit into your abe8 account over a defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once you reach your limit, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. You can request to lower your limit at any time; increases apply only after a mandatory review period to safeguard your gaming habits.
Time-Out / Cooling-Off Period
A time-out lets you take a temporary break from gaming without permanently closing your account. Options include 24-hour, 48-hour, 7-day, and 30-day cooling-off periods. During a time-out, your account is paused: you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Your account data is preserved and you can return after the period ends.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a longer-term protective measure for players who feel they need a more extended break. You can choose exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. Once a self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. Requests to reactivate accounts are subject to a mandatory waiting period and a responsible gaming review.
How to Activate These Tools
- Log in to your abe8 account and go to Account Settings.
- Select the Responsible Gaming section from the menu.

- Alternatively, contact our support team directly at [email protected] for immediate assistance.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, education, or background. Recognizing the warning signs early is the most powerful step you can take to protect yourself and the people around you. If you identify with any of the following signs, we strongly encourage you to use abe8's responsible gaming tools or contact our support team right away.
-
1Spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended, often without noticing until after the session ends.
-
2Gambling to recover losses — also known as 'chasing losses' — where one losing session leads to larger, riskier bets in the next.
-
3Using money set aside for essential expenses — rent, food, bKash transfers to family — to fund gambling activity.
-
4Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down on gambling or when unable to access a gaming platform.
-
5Hiding gambling activity from friends, family members, or colleagues — or lying about wins, losses, and time spent gaming.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set a deposit limit on my abe8 account?
Log in to your abe8 account and navigate to the Account Settings section. Under Responsible Gaming, you will find options to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit is instant; increasing a limit may require a mandatory cooling-off period to protect your wellbeing.
What is self-exclusion and how does it work at abe8?
Self-exclusion is a tool that allows you to voluntarily block access to your abe8 account for a set period or permanently. Once activated, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or access games during the exclusion period. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] with your account details and desired exclusion duration.
Is there a minimum age to play at abe8?
Yes. abe8 strictly enforces a 21+ age policy. Players must be 21 years or older to register, deposit, and participate in any real-money gaming or betting activity on our platform. We carry out age verification checks during the registration and KYC process, and any account found to belong to a minor will be closed immediately and all funds returned.
What should I do if I think I have a gambling problem?
If you feel that gambling is negatively impacting your finances, relationships, or mental health, please take action immediately. Use abe8's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team at [email protected] to request an account lock. Speak openly with someone you trust, and consider reaching out to a professional counseling service. Remember: taking a break is always the right choice, and our team is here to help you without judgment.
