Gaming should be a source of entertainment, not stress or problems. 8up believes every player has the right to know their limits and enjoy gaming in a healthy way.
Responsible Gaming means using gaming as a healthy and controlled form of entertainment. At 8up, we believe every player should make decisions based on their own financial means and mental well-being. Gaming should never have a negative impact on your daily life, relationships, or financial stability.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. Many people enjoy slots, Live Casino, or Sports Betting purely for entertainment. However, some may find themselves spending too much time or money. That's exactly why responsible gaming matters.
8up is a licensed and regulated gaming platform. The well-being of our players is our top priority, which is why we offer a range of protection tools, resources, and support to help you stay in control at all times.
Keep in mind: Gaming should be for fun, not a primary way to earn money. If you ever feel that gaming is causing you stress, take a break immediately.
8up has multiple safeguards in place to keep you protected
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once a limit is set, it cannot be exceeded.
Set a time limit for each gaming session. You'll receive an automatic notification when your time is up.
Your game will automatically stop after you hit a set loss amount. The most effective tool for keeping your finances in check.
You can temporarily suspend your account for anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days at your own request.
Option to close your account for an extended period, from 6 months to permanent.
A message will appear on screen at set intervals — showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost.
It's not always easy to recognise when normal entertainment starts becoming a problem. Watch out for the signs below. If you notice any of them in yourself or someone you know, seek help right away:
Using money set aside for essential expenses on gaming, or borrowing to place bets.
Repeatedly returning after a loss and placing bigger bets to try to win back what you've lost.
Gaming negatively affecting family relationships and social life.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to game.
Staying up late to game, skipping meals, or neglecting your physical health.
Hiding your gaming habits or lying to family and friends about them.
Following these habits in line with 8up's Responsible Gaming guidelines will keep gaming enjoyable at all times:
Decide the maximum amount you're willing to spend before each session. Never exceed that budget — whether you're winning or losing.
Before you start, decide how long you'll play. Use an alarm or 8up's session timer to keep track.
After a loss, you may feel the urge to keep betting out of anger or frustration. Stop at that point and take a break.
Alcohol or other substances impair your judgment. Avoid gaming when you're not in a clear state of mind.
Gaming is a form of entertainment. Winning is never guaranteed. It should not be relied upon as a source of income.
Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Get up, drink some water, take a short walk — a clear head leads to better decisions.
Spend time with family, go out, pursue your studies or other hobbies outside of gaming.
Never bet with borrowed or loaned money. Only wager what you can afford from your own disposable income.
Let at least one family member know how much time and money you're spending on gaming. Transparency is protection.
If you feel you are losing control, don't hesitate to speak with the 8up support team or a professional counsellor.
On the 8up platform, you can set various limits directly from your Account Settings. These limits are your most effective tools for responsible gaming:
Set a maximum daily deposit and betting amount.
Decide in advance the total amount you'll spend across the week.
Set your budget at the start of the month and game with peace of mind all month long.
Set how long you'll play each day or each session.
How Do Limits Work?

| Deposit limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediate (to reduce) | After 24 hours (to increase) |

Using this Responsible Gaming tool will lock your account, stop all promotional emails, and keep your balance secure.
To activate self-exclusion, go to your 8up account settings or contact our support team directly.
