M88's commitment to keeping you safe

Our six key steps for responsible gaming

Deposit Limit

You decide how much you deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately.

Session Time Control

Decide in advance how many hours you want to play. Once your set time is up, m88 will automatically alert you and log you out if needed.

Benefits of Taking a Break

If you feel tired or stressed, take a break from your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this period, no bets or transactions can be made.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gaming habits are beyond your control, you have the option to permanently close your account. Choosing to do so is a sign of real courage.

Age Verification System

Age verification is mandatory when registering at m88. We follow a strict KYC process to ensure no one under 18 can access our services.

Expert counselling services

If you're concerned about your betting habits, our 24/7 support team is ready to provide expert advice and assistance.

Self-Control Tools

M88 gives you the power to manage your own gaming

Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. You can update them at any time from your account settings.

Loss Limit

Betting will automatically stop once you've reached a set loss amount. It's the most effective way to keep your financial losses in check.

Time-Out

Pause your account for anywhere between 1 day and 6 weeks. During this period, no deposits or bets can be placed.

Self-Exclusion

Close your account on a long-term or permanent basis. Once this decision is made, we will also stop all marketing communications.

01What we mean by responsible gaming

Responsible gaming means treating betting or gaming as a form of entertainment — the same way you'd go to the cinema or head out for a meal. m88Responsible gaming on the platform means knowing your limits, sticking to your budget, and not letting gaming take over your life.

We believe betting is only enjoyable when it's done mindfully. m88's responsible gaming programme helps you build that awareness. The mental and financial wellbeing of every member matters to us more than business.

Remember — betting is never a guaranteed source of income. Never wager money whose loss would affect your day-to-day life.

Many people in Bangladesh mistakenly see online gaming as a quick way to earn money. In reality, the outcome of every bet is completely unpredictable. m88We are committed to promoting healthy attitudes toward gaming and providing ongoing awareness and support to all users of the platform.

02Golden rules for healthy betting habits

Enjoying betting over the long term means following a few basic principles. These aren't just rules — they're there to protect you.

  • Set a budget first: Decide in advance how much you're willing to spend on entertainment each month. Never go beyond that budget.
  • Don't chase your losses: Placing more bets to try to recover losses is dangerous. This habit of chasing losses can quickly lead to addiction.
  • Play at set times: Decide how much time you'll spend betting each day and stick to it. Betting should never eat into time reserved for family or work.
  • Play with a clear head: Never place a bet when you're angry, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Making good decisions requires a clear mind.
  • Never bet with borrowed money: Betting with borrowed money is the riskiest thing you can do. Only use funds you can genuinely afford to lose.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Instead of playing every day, set aside specific days of the week for gaming. Taking occasional full breaks keeps your mind refreshed.
  • Think of winnings as a bonus: Don't play expecting to win. A win is a bonus — and a loss is simply the cost of entertainment. Keep that perspective.

03Warning Signs of Gaming Addiction

Problem gambling develops gradually and can be difficult to recognize on your own. Watch out for the warning signs below.

Signs Early Stage Severe Stage
Spending Occasionally exceeding budget Betting with borrowed money
Time Spent Spending More Time Than Planned Neglecting work/family
Mental State Getting upset when you lose Restlessness without betting
Hiding Hiding Spending Lying to family
Goal Chasing Losses Obsessed with dreams of winning big
If you notice any of the signs above in yourself, don't wait — contact the m88 support team or activate a time-out or self-exclusion from your account.

04Self-Assessment – Ask yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If more than 3 answers are "Yes", you should seek help.

1Do you often end up spending more on betting than you originally planned?
2When you lose, do you feel the urge to keep betting to win that money back?
3Do you feel restless or irritable when you're not betting?
4Do you hide your betting habits from family or friends?
5Has betting caused you to neglect work, studies, or family responsibilities?
6Have you tried to stop betting but keep coming back?
7Have you taken out a loan — or considered taking one — to fund your betting?
8Are you turning to betting to relieve stress or anxiety?
These questions are based on the PGSI (Problem Gambling Severity Index). Three or more "Yes" answers means it's time to seek help. Email us at support@m88-taka.com.

05How to Get Help from m88

If you feel your betting habits are getting out of control, follow the steps below. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness — it takes courage.

1
Contact us via Live Chat

Reach out via m88's 24/7 Live Chat and let us know you need responsible gaming support. Our trained agents will assist you with full confidentiality.

2
Set your limits from Account Settings

Log in and go to Account Settings. Under the "Responsible Gaming" section, you can activate a deposit limit, loss limit, or time-out.

3
Send a Request by Email

Email us at support@m88-taka.com. Self-exclusion or account closure requests submitted in writing will be processed within 24 hours.

4
Seek Professional Help

Gaming addiction is a recognized mental health condition. Consider speaking with a psychologist or counselor. Support from family and friends can also make a real difference.

06How family members can help

If you think a family member or loved one is struggling with a betting addiction, your role is crucial. The right support can make a real difference and speed up their recovery.

What to Do

  • Talk with empathy, not judgment. Try to understand how they're feeling.
  • Raise your concerns with specific examples — "I've noticed you've been spending a lot of time online this past month."
  • Encourage them to seek professional help and offer to go with them if needed.
  • Contact the m88 support team to learn more about the self-exclusion process.

What Not to Do

  • Don't react with anger or blame — it only drives the problem further underground.
  • Don't pay off their debts — it only enables the addiction.
  • Don't ignore the issue entirely — without timely help, the situation can get much harder to manage.
If someone in your family is struggling with addiction, it can take a toll on you too. Make sure to look after your own mental health as well.

07Protection of Children and Minors

M88 is strictly an adults-only platform. We have firm measures in place to prevent anyone under the age of 18 from accessing our services.

  • Age verification at registration: Age verification using a national ID or birth registration certificate is mandatory when creating an account.
  • KYC Process: Identity verification must be completed before your first withdrawal.
  • Steps for parents: If you have children at home, use parental control software on your devices and keep your password secure.
If you become aware that a minor is using an m88 account, please notify us immediately at support@m88-taka.com. We will take prompt action.

08Steps to Set Limits on Your Account

Enabling Responsible Gaming settings on your m88 account is straightforward. Just follow the steps below.

1
Log In to Your Account

Log in to m88-taka.com with your username and password.

2
Go to Profile Settings

Click your name in the top-right corner of the screen and select "Account Settings".

3
Open the Responsible Gaming Menu

Click the "Responsible Gaming" tab — all your protection tools are right there.

4
Set your preferred limits

Choose from Deposit Limit, Loss Limit, Session Time, or Time-Out — select the one you need, then enter the amount and duration.

5
Confirm

Click the "Save" button. Your limit will take effect immediately and you'll receive a confirmation email.

Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. Increasing it, however, requires a 24-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions.

Always keep these three things in mind

Betting is not a source of income

Expecting a regular income from online betting is not realistic. Every bet outcome is uncertain. Never use money set aside for household expenses, rent, or debt repayments to place bets.

Entertainment is the Goal

Gaming on m88 should be purely for fun — just as you wouldn't expect a refund on a movie ticket, the same mindset keeps betting enjoyable every time.

Asking for help takes courage

If you feel like you're losing control of your gaming habits, seek help right away. Reaching out to m88's support team or a professional counselor is not a weakness — it's the smart thing to do.
