Millions of people in Bangladesh enjoy online gaming. But for a small number, it can become a problem. pbc8 takes that seriously. Our responsible gaming policy is designed to ensure every user can enjoy gaming in a safe and positive environment.

On this page you will learn how to manage your spending and time, recognize the signs of problematic gaming, find out what protection tools we offer, and know where to get help when needed. Remember — asking for help is not a weakness; it is a courageous step.

Pbc8 is strictly for users aged 18 and above. Age is verified at registration, and any underage account is closed immediately.

Our Safeguards

In Responsible Gaming Our 6 Commitments

Pbc8 ensures six core safeguards for every user. These are not just words — they are practical measures put into action.

Age verification

All users' ages are strictly verified at registration. Accounts for anyone under 18 are not approved, and suspicious accounts are subject to additional verification.

Set a Deposit Limit

You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits take effect immediately once set, and any increase requires a 7-day waiting period.

Time limits & reminders

Turn on the session timer to track how long you have been playing. You will receive automatic reminders at set intervals, and your session can also be set to end automatically after a certain time.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel you need a break for a while, you can set a cooling-off period from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, no deposits or bets can be placed on your account.

Self-exclusion

If you feel gaming is getting out of control, use the self-exclusion option. You can close your account for anywhere from 6 months to permanently.

Professional support

Pbc8's trained support team is available around the clock to offer guidance. You can discuss any gaming-related concern in complete confidence.

Practical tools

Keeping yourself safe Five tools

You can activate these tools at any time from your account settings. You can also contact support and they will set them up for you.

Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 7-day waiting period — this helps prevent impulsive overspending.

Session time limit

Set how long you want to play in a single session. The system will alert you when the time is up and can automatically log you out if needed.

Loss limit

Gaming stops automatically once you reach a set loss threshold. This is a powerful safeguard that helps prevent serious financial harm.

Reality check

A popup will appear every 30 or 60 minutes showing a summary of how long you've played and how much you've won or lost.

Self-exclusion & cooling-off

For a short break, there's a cooling-off option (24 hours – 6 weeks), and for a longer break, self-exclusion (6 months to permanent). During exclusion, no marketing messages are sent and access to your account is fully suspended.

All of the tools above are free to use and can be activated instantly from your account settings. If you have any trouble enabling them, our support team is available 24/7.

Smart gaming tips

For safe gaming Practical tips

Following these simple habits will keep gaming enjoyable and prevent it from becoming a burden.

Entertainment-only budget

Set aside a fixed amount for entertainment at the start of each month. Don't spend a single BDT beyond that on gaming.

Manage Your Play Time

Decide how many days a week you'll play and for how long. Prioritize time with family and friends.

Don't play when you're feeling down

Avoid playing when you're angry, sad, or stressed. Your judgment isn't at its best during those moments.

Take regular breaks

Take at least a 15-minute break every hour. Get up, drink some water , take a walk.

Keep in mind: Gaming does not guarantee winnings. Every game is random — no strategy can ensure a win.

Let your family know: If you enjoy gaming, do not keep it from your family. Being open strengthens relationships.

Never Borrow: Never gamble with borrowed or loaned money. It can lead to serious financial hardship.
