Responsible Gambling – At 788bet, let it be fun — not an addiction.

Online betting has become a popular form of entertainment for many people. Whether you're placing a bet on cricket, football, or any other sport, the experience is best enjoyed within your means. For some, though, what starts as fun can gradually turn into a compulsion — and that's when things get complicated.

Responsible gambling means treating betting as entertainment only, staying in control of your budget and time, and having the courage to ask for help when things feel out of hand. That's not weakness — it's maturity.

788bet is more than a betting platform — we genuinely care about the long-term wellbeing of our users. That's why responsible gambling isn't just a policy for us; it's at the core of everything we do.

788bet strictly follows these core principles to ensure responsible gambling:

• 18+ Age Requirement: No one under the age of 18 is permitted to use 788bet. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and additional KYC checks are conducted in cases of suspicion.
• Transparent Information: Clear information is provided on the odds, payout rates, and rules for every game. There are no hidden terms or misleading promotions on 788bet.
• Personal Control: Every user can set their own deposit limits, time limits, and loss limits.
• Easy Break Feature: Whenever you feel you need a break from betting, you can activate a cooling-off period with a single click.
• Active Monitoring: Our system detects unusual betting patterns and alerts users when necessary.
• Free Support: If you're struggling, our support team and professional counsellors are always available to help.

It's not always easy to tell when entertainment starts becoming a problem. Watch out for these warning signs:

• Betting beyond your budget and regretting it afterwards.
• Chasing losses by placing more bets — the "just one more and I'll win it back" mindset.
• Prioritising betting over family, friends, or work.
• Lying to or hiding your betting activity from family.
• Spending money meant for essential household expenses on betting.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not betting.
• Losing sleep or struggling to focus because of betting.
• Betting with borrowed money or by dipping into savings.

Ask yourself the questions below. If you answer "yes" to most of them, start using the responsible gambling tools or reach out for help:

If 3 or more of your answers are "Yes", we strongly encourage you to pause, use our tools, and reach out for support if needed.

Setting betting limits on 788bet is simple. Just follow these steps:

• 1
  Instant

  Log in to 788bet with your username and password.

• 2
  Go to Account Settings

  Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select the "Settings" or "Responsible Gambling" option.

• 3
  Choose Limit Type

  Choose what works for you — a deposit limit, a loss limit, or a time limit.

• 4
  Set Amount & Duration

  Choose the limit amount and duration (daily/weekly/monthly) based on your budget and personal plan.

• 5
  Confirm & Save

  Once confirmed, your limit will take effect immediately. A confirmation message will be sent to your email.

Sometimes setting limits isn't enough — you need a complete break. With 788bet's self-exclusion feature, you can temporarily close your own account.

• Short-Term Break: Up to 6 months — during this period you will not be able to log in, and no promotional messages will be sent to you.
• Long-term Break: Break periods are available from 1 year up to 5 years.
• Permanent Closure: If you decide you want to permanently stop using 788bet, that option is available to you.

During exclusion, 788bet will not send you any marketing communications, and re-registration will not be permitted.

Experienced players will tell you — betting responsibly actually makes it more enjoyable. Without the pressure of chasing losses, every win feels like a bonus. Here are some practical tips:

• Set a Budget in Advance: At the start of each month, set a firm maximum amount in BDT you're willing to spend on betting — and never go beyond it.
• Think of It as Entertainment: Think of betting like a cinema ticket — a leisure expense, not an investment.
• Don't Bet When You're Emotional: Avoid betting when you're angry, upset, drunk, or under stress.
• Don't Chase Losses: Losses are a natural part of betting. Trying to quickly recover what you've lost is where the real trouble starts.
• Take Regular Breaks: After a few hours of betting, step away — drink some water, take a walk. Playing non-stop impairs your judgment.
• Plan what you'll do when you win: When you win big, cash out some of it. Don't put everything straight back on bets.
• Tell Your Family: Letting your family know you bet means they can flag concerns early — and it keeps you accountable.
• Keep other hobbies and interests: Keep betting in its place — reading, sports, spending time with family are all part of life too.
