Gambling Should Always Be Entertainment — Not a Source of Income

f888 offers cricket betting, live casino games, slots, and instant-win titles for entertainment purposes only. Gambling involves real financial risk. Never wager more than you can comfortably afford to lose, never chase losses, and never gamble while under the influence of alcohol, medication, or emotional stress. If gambling is no longer fun, it is time to take a break. f888's responsible gaming tools are free, instant, and always available in your account settings. Players must be 21 years of age or older to register and play.


Our Commitment

How f888 Keeps Gaming Safe

Responsible gaming is not just a policy at f888 — it is built into the platform at every level. These six principles guide the way we design, operate, and support every player's experience.

Strict 21+ Age Verification

Every f888 account goes through a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process before deposits and withdrawals are enabled. Players must confirm they are aged 21 or above by submitting a valid government-issued ID. Accounts found to belong to players under 21 are immediately and permanently closed, and any deposited funds are returned.

Flexible Deposit Limits

f888 gives every player the ability to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) directly from their account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling period before the change activates, giving you time to reconsider. Reducing a limit is always instant.

Session Time Limits

You can set a maximum session duration in your f888 account preferences. When your session reaches the time you have defined, f888 will display a notification prompting you to take a break. You may also enable a mandatory break feature that logs you out automatically after a set period of continuous play, helping you stay aware of the time spent on the platform.

Cooling-Off Periods

If you feel you need a short break from gambling, f888's cooling-off feature lets you suspend your account for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets on f888. The break activates instantly upon request, and your account resumes automatically when the selected period expires.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer break, f888 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. A self-exclusion request is processed immediately and cannot be reversed during the chosen period. During self-exclusion, your f888 account is fully suspended, promotional communications are stopped, and your data is flagged to prevent re-registration.

Reality Checks and Loss Limits

f888 provides on-screen reality check notifications at intervals you define — for example, every 30 minutes — reminding you of how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or lost in the current session. You can also set a loss limit in BDT per day, week, or month. When the limit is reached, no further bets can be placed until the limit resets.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising problematic gambling behaviour early is the most important step towards getting back in control. If you identify with any of the signs below — in yourself or someone you know — please reach out for support immediately.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended, or more than you can afford to lose from your budget.

Chasing losses by placing additional bets to try to recover money you have already lost in a previous session.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling — a sign of psychological dependency.

Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the amount of time or money you spend on gambling.

Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties in daily life.

Neglecting work, education, family responsibilities, or social relationships because of the time spent gambling.

Borrowing money, selling personal possessions, or taking out loans to fund gambling activity.

Thinking about gambling constantly — planning the next session, replaying past bets, or calculating future strategies throughout the day.

Failing repeatedly to stick to limits or decisions to stop, despite genuine intentions to do so.

Experiencing guilt, shame, or regret after gambling sessions, yet continuing to gamble shortly afterwards.

You Are Not Alone — Help Is Available Right Now

Problem gambling is a recognised psychological condition, not a personal failing or a lack of willpower. Millions of people around the world — including many in Bangladesh — experience gambling-related difficulties at some point in their lives. The f888 support team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week via live chat and email. Contact us immediately if you or someone you care about needs help. All communications are treated with complete confidentiality.


Self-Assessment

Is Your Gambling Still Under Control?

The questions on the right are a simplified self-assessment tool adapted from internationally recognised responsible gambling frameworks. They are not a clinical diagnosis, but they can help you reflect honestly on your current relationship with gambling.

If you answer "Yes" to three or more of these questions, f888 strongly recommends that you activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion through your account settings, and consider speaking to a support professional.

Remember: reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. The f888 team is here to support you — confidentially and without judgement — at any time of day or night.

Child Protection

Preventing Underage Access to f888

f888 has a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. No person under the age of 21 may open or use an f888 account under any circumstances. The following measures are in place to enforce this commitment.

Mandatory KYC

All players must submit a government-issued ID — National ID card or passport — before deposits are enabled. Age is verified against official documents.

Instant Account Closure

Any account identified as belonging to a person under 21 is permanently closed without notice, and deposited funds are returned to the originating payment method.

Parental Controls

f888 recommends that parents install filtering or parental control software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing online betting and casino websites.

Report Underage Access

If you believe a minor has accessed f888 using false information, contact support immediately via live chat. Reports are investigated as a top priority and acted upon within hours.
