What responsible gaming is and why it matters

Online gaming and betting is an enjoyable experience for many people. However, when it moves from entertainment to dependency, it can have serious effects on personal, family, and financial life. khela88 wants all its users to play with awareness and stay in control.

The foundation of responsible gaming is setting a budget before you play, keeping to time limits, and not trying to chase losses after a loss. Our Terms and Conditions page sets out these points clearly, and every user should read them.

Remember — there is no guarantee of winning. Betting and gaming are entirely based on chance. Never bet with borrowed money, money meant for daily expenses, or in an emotional state.

Your safety is our priority. Use the tools below to set your own gaming limits.

Tools to keep yourself in control

khela88 provides a number of tools to help users manage their gaming habits. These tools can be enabled or changed at any time from account settings.

Set a deposit limit

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made for that period — a simple way to stay within your budget.

Set a time limit

Playing for long stretches at a time is bad for your health. Setting a daily or weekly session time limit helps you avoid spending too much time playing.

Account cooling-off

Take a break from your account for a few days to a few weeks. During this time you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets, giving you a chance to reassess.

Self-Exclusion

Make your own decision — keep your account closed for one month, three months, or permanently. While self-exclusion is active, logging in or playing through any channel will be completely blocked.

Review your gaming history

Log in to your account to view your betting and gaming history — knowing how much time and money you have spent makes it easier to make informed decisions.

Direct support

Get help in Bengali or English at any time through khela88's 24/7 live chat or email. You can also contact support directly to set account limits or activate self-exclusion.

Warning signs of problem gambling

If you notice any of the following in yourself or someone close to you, you should seek help promptly:

  • Feeling the urge to place larger bets after a loss in order to win back what you lost.
  • Wanting to stop playing but being unable to, or repeatedly breaking promises and coming back.
  • Hiding your gambling from family or friends.
  • Betting with money meant for daily expenses, food, or debt repayments.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or having trouble sleeping when you cannot play.
  • Gaming affecting your work, studies, or family relationships.
  • Gradually increasing your bet amounts while chasing the dream of a big win.

Build healthy gaming habits

Following these simple guidelines will keep betting and gaming a form of entertainment:

Set a fixed budget before you play, and end your session when that amount is lost — do not come back for more.

Do not treat betting and gaming as a source of income. It is entertainment — winning and losing are both equally normal here.

Take regular breaks instead of playing for long stretches, spend time with family, and give attention to other hobbies.

Never play while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance — your judgment is not reliable in that state.

Our FAQ page has detailed questions and answers on responsible gaming.

Take the concerns of those close to you seriously. If family or friends feel your gaming habits are getting out of hand, that is an important signal.

Where to get help

When gambling becomes a problem, seeking help rather than facing it alone is the most important step. khela88 believes — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Protecting minors

khela88 strictly prohibits anyone under 21 from opening an account or taking part in gaming. Age is verified during account registration, and additional proof may be requested in cases of doubt.

If there are children or teenagers in your home, keep parental controls active on your devices. Never share your account password with anyone.

If underage participation is suspected, khela88 reserves the right to suspend any account immediately. The detailed policy on this can be found on our Privacy Policy page.

All users' personal information and transaction data are kept secure.

Self-exclusion or limit-setting requests are acted on promptly and the user is notified.

If signs of a problem appear, the khela88 support team will proactively guide the user toward help.

Common questions about responsible gaming

Yes. You can activate self-exclusion from your account settings or directly through our 24/7 live chat and email support. Once you select a duration, logging in or placing any kind of bet will be completely disabled for that period.

Lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, a waiting period may apply for requests to increase the limit — this ensures that impulsive decisions are not made in the heat of the moment.

Start by talking to them calmly and listening without judgment. Encourage them to contact khela88 support or help them access professional mental health services. Being there for someone close to you is the most important support you can offer.

No. A minimum age of 21 is required to open an account and take part in any betting or gaming at khela88. Accounts are not activated until age verification is complete.

Yes. Your account balance will be kept safe while self-exclusion is active. Once the self-exclusion period ends, or if needed sooner, you can contact support to discuss withdrawals.

Money lost through betting and gaming cannot be recovered — this is a normal part of the risk involved. Feeling the urge to play more in order to "chase losses" is an important sign of problem gambling. In that situation, stop playing immediately and seek help.
