Six Tools to Keep You in Control

bounce88 gives every registered player direct access to the following responsible gaming controls from within their account settings.

💰
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your bounce88 account. Once set, limits take effect immediately and can only be reduced instantly — increases require a 24-hour cooling period.

Instant Control
⏱️
Session Time Limits

Define a maximum session length for any single visit to the platform. When your session reaches the limit, you will receive a notification and, if you choose, be automatically logged out to prevent extended uninterrupted play.

Play Healthy
🛑
Time-Out / Cool-Off

Take a short break from gambling without fully closing your account. Time-out periods are available in 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day durations. During a time-out, your account is suspended and no deposits are accepted.

Self-Exclusion

Request a longer-term exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. During self-exclusion, your account is fully locked, all marketing communications are stopped, and re-registration is blocked.

Long-Term Protection

Reality Checks

Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that display how long you have been playing and your net financial position during that session. These prompts are delivered at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes.

1 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

bounce88 believes that gambling should be an enjoyable leisure activity — one that players across Bangladesh engage in freely, knowingly, and within their means. We are firmly committed to maintaining a platform environment where responsible gaming is not an afterthought but a foundational operating principle embedded in every aspect of our service.

Our responsible gaming framework covers five key areas: age verification to prevent underage gambling, player-controlled spend and time limits, short-term time-out and long-term self-exclusion tools, active monitoring of play patterns for signs of problem gambling, and clear signposting to professional support services for anyone who needs help.

We acknowledge that a small number of players may experience difficulties in controlling their gambling. bounce88 takes this seriously. We do not want the revenue generated from players who are gambling beyond their means. If gambling is causing financial, emotional, or social harm to you or someone you know, we urge you to use the tools on this page and to reach out to our support team at support@bounce88 — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6).

All responsible gaming tools described on this page are available free of charge to every registered bounce88 player. No fee, no waiting period, and no penalty applies for using them.

2 Age Restriction and Verification

bounce88 operates a strict 18+ policy. Gambling is permitted only for adults aged 18 years and above. This is a non-negotiable requirement that applies to every player regardless of location within Bangladesh — whether in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, or Cox's Bazar.

During the account registration process, all players are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older. bounce88 further verifies age as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process, which requires submission of a valid National Identity Card (NID) or passport. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to an adult aged 18 or above will be suspended and any funds held pending verification will be returned to the relevant payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay) after review.

If you are aware of a person under 18 who has accessed or is attempting to access bounce88, please report this to our support team immediately. We treat all such reports as urgent and will act without delay.

Protecting Minors in Your Household

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend enabling parental control software on that device. Do not allow younger persons to know your bounce88 login credentials. Always log out of your account fully when you are not using the platform. bounce88 recommends the following practical measures:

  • Use a strong, unique password that is not shared with any household member.
  • Enable device screen lock and PIN protection on your smartphone or tablet.
  • Do not save your bounce88 password in shared browsers or autofill apps accessible to minors.
  • Use the platform's account security settings to enable two-factor authentication.

3 Deposit Limits

Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping gambling affordable and within your budget. bounce88 allows every registered player to set a personalised limit on how much they deposit into their account over a defined time period. Limits are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) and are applied across all payment channels including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard.

Limit Type Period Takes Effect Can Be Increased After
Daily Deposit Limit Per 24-hour period (Bangladesh Standard Time) Immediately (if reducing) 24-hour cooling-off period
Weekly Deposit Limit Monday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 BST Immediately (if reducing) 24-hour cooling-off period
Monthly Deposit Limit Calendar month (1st to last day) Immediately (if reducing) 24-hour cooling-off period
Important: Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately, protecting you right away. Increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour waiting period — this cooling-off time is intentional and cannot be waived.

To set or modify your deposit limits, navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits within your bounce88 account dashboard. If you experience any difficulty accessing this section, contact our support team at support@bounce88 and we will assist you promptly.

4 Time-Out and Cool-Off Periods

A time-out is a temporary suspension of your bounce88 account that you can activate yourself at any time. It is designed for players who feel they need a short break from gambling without taking the more permanent step of self-exclusion. During a time-out period, the following apply:

  • Your account will be inaccessible for login.
  • No deposits will be accepted through any payment channel (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or card).
  • All marketing and promotional communications will be paused.
  • Any pending withdrawal requests will continue to be processed normally.
  • Your account data and balance are preserved and will be available when the time-out expires.

Time-out periods available at bounce88 are 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. Once a time-out is activated, it cannot be cancelled early — the full duration must elapse before access is restored. This is a deliberate design feature to give the cool-off period genuine protective value.

How to Activate a Time-Out

1
Log in to your bounce88 account.
Visit the platform and authenticate with your registered credentials.
2
Navigate to Account Settings.
Select the Responsible Gaming section from the account menu.
3
Select Time-Out / Cool-Off.
Choose your preferred duration: 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.
4
Confirm your selection.
The time-out activates immediately. You will be logged out and a confirmation will be sent to your registered email address.

If you are unable to access your account to activate a time-out, contact our support team directly at support@bounce88 and request an account suspension. We will action this without delay.

5 Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a formal agreement between you and bounce88 that prohibits you from accessing gambling services on our platform for a defined extended period. It is the strongest protective measure we offer and is intended for players who feel their gambling is out of control or causing harm.

bounce88 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and permanent exclusion. During any self-exclusion period, the following protections apply:

  • Your account is fully locked. Login attempts will be blocked.
  • All deposit channels are closed. No transactions can be initiated.
  • All marketing, bonus, and promotional emails and notifications are stopped immediately and permanently for the duration of the exclusion.
  • Re-registration under any new account using the same identity details is blocked.
  • Any balance remaining in your account at the time of exclusion will be returned to your registered payment method after the standard verification process.

Requesting Self-Exclusion

You can request self-exclusion directly through your account settings under Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion. Alternatively, send a request by email to support@bounce88 with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request", including your registered email address and your preferred exclusion duration. Our team will activate the exclusion within one hour of receiving a valid request.

Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible. Once a permanent exclusion is applied, bounce88 will not re-open the account under any circumstances. For time-limited exclusions (6 months, 1 year, 3 years), reinstatement requests may only be made after the full exclusion period has elapsed, and are subject to a mandatory review process including a 24-hour reflection period.

We strongly encourage any player considering self-exclusion to also seek support from independent organisations listed in the Support Resources section below. Self-exclusion from bounce88 is an important step, but professional support can provide additional help, guidance, and counselling.

6 Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious to the person experiencing it. bounce88 encourages all players to be aware of the following warning signs. If you recognise several of these patterns in your own behaviour — or in someone you know — it is important to take action early.

💸
Gambling Beyond Your Budget

Regularly depositing more than you can comfortably afford to lose, or using money allocated for rent, food, or household bills to fund gambling.

🔄
Chasing Losses

Placing further bets in an attempt to recover money already lost, particularly when this leads to larger and more frequent deposits than originally planned.

🕰️
Losing Track of Time

Spending much longer than intended on the platform, losing awareness of how much time has passed, or neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling.

🤫
Secrecy and Concealment

Hiding gambling activity from family members, lying about the amount of money spent, or feeling ashamed or guilty about your gambling behaviour.

😰
Emotional Distress

Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling; gambling as a way to escape stress, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties rather than for entertainment.

🏦
Financial Difficulties

Borrowing money to gamble, taking loans, or depleting savings accounts to fund gambling activity. Using mobile banking services (bKash, Nagad, Rocket) excessively for gambling deposits.

7 Self-Assessment Checklist

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these statements, we strongly encourage you to activate one of the player protection tools listed on this page and to consider reaching out for professional support.

I have spent more money on gambling than I originally planned during a single session.
I have gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses such as rent, food, or bills.
I have tried to win back money I had already lost by placing additional bets.
I have felt restless, anxious, or irritable when I was unable to gamble.
I have hidden my gambling activity or the amount of money I spend from family or friends.
I have borrowed money from others or taken out a loan in order to fund gambling.
Gambling has caused arguments, tension, or problems in my relationships with family members.
I find it difficult to stop gambling once I have started, even when I intend to play only briefly.
I gamble to relieve stress, depression, or negative feelings rather than purely for entertainment.
I have considered or attempted to use gambling as a primary source of income or financial strategy.
This checklist is for self-reflection purposes only and is not a clinical diagnostic tool. If your answers concern you, please contact our support team or one of the organisations listed in the next section. You do not have to manage this alone.
