Abe8's Responsible Gaming Features

We do not just talk about protection — we put it into practice. Every tool below is designed to help you stay in control.

Setting a deposit limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one requires a cooldown period.

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum session duration. When time is up, abe8 will automatically notify you and, if needed, end your session.

Cooloff break

Take a break lasting anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. You won't be able to log in to your account during this time, but it will reactivate automatically once the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

Close your account for 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. No new account can be opened in your name during this period.

Loss Limit

Decide in advance the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a given period. Once you reach that limit, abe8 will automatically stop your gaming.

Age Verification System

A strict age verification process is applied at registration. No one under 18 can create an account on abe8.


What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible Gaming means enjoying gaming as a healthy form of entertainment — playing fully aware, within your means, and in complete control. At abe8, we believe every member has the right to play responsibly, and ensuring that right is our responsibility.

Online gaming is growing in popularity across Bangladesh. Many people use it to unwind and relieve stress; others simply play for fun. But when gaming shifts from a habit to an addiction, it can damage family life, careers, and financial stability. Responsible gaming is not optional — it is essential.

Responsible gaming at abe8 means:

  • Play for entertainment only, not as a source of income.
  • Setting a budget in advance and never exceeding that limit.
  • Never chase losses by placing bigger bets.
  • Knowing when to stop — and actually being able to stop.
  • Putting family, friends, and responsibilities first.

Keep in mind: Gaming at abe8 is entirely optional entertainment. There are no guaranteed wins, and you should never chase losses by continuing to play.

Why does responsible gaming matter?

Gaming addiction is a real problem that can affect people of any age. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized gaming disorder as a legitimate mental health condition. As online gaming continues to grow in Bangladesh, awareness around this issue needs to grow with it.

Problems that can arise from gaming addiction:

  • Financial issues: Overspending, debt, and financial instability.
  • Strained family relationships: Reduced attention toward family.
  • Mental health issues: Anxiety, depression, and mood swings.
  • Impact on work: Loss of focus and reduced productivity at work.
  • Social withdrawal: Withdrawing from friends and social life.

Abe8 believes these harms are preventable. With the right awareness, tools, and support, every member can maintain a healthy gaming habit. That is why we are more than just a gaming platform — we are your responsible partner.

Caution: If you feel gaming is affecting your daily life, don't wait — contact our support team right away.

Tips for Healthy Gaming Habits

Responsible gaming goes beyond following rules — it's also about the right mindset. Here is our expert advice for abe8 members:

✦ Set your budget in advance
Set a fixed amount before each session. Play within that budget and not a penny more.

✦ Take regular breaks
Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Stand up, walk around, drink some water, and rest your eyes.

✦ Avoid playing late at night
Gaming before bed reduces sleep quality. Switch off your screen at least one hour before you sleep.

✦ Stay calm when you lose
Losses are a normal part of gaming. Losing doesn't mean you have to keep playing to win it back.

✦ Spend time with family
Gaming should never come before family. Make time for quality moments with the people who matter.

✦ Keep other hobbies
Spend time on other activities too — reading, sports, or creative hobbies. A varied lifestyle is good for your mental health.

About Responsible Gaming Frequently Asked Questions

After logging in, go to "Account Settings" then "Responsible Gaming". There you can set separate daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing one requires a 7-day cooldown period.

Yes. On abe8, you can choose your own self-exclusion period — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or permanently. Once permanent self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed. If anyone attempts to open a new account using your details during this period, our system will automatically block it.

A Cooloff is a temporary break — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Once the period ends, your account reactivates automatically. Self-exclusion is longer-term — a minimum of 6 months — and does not reactivate automatically when the period expires; you must submit a request to resume. Self-exclusion is the appropriate choice for serious concerns.

A national ID or other age verification document is required when registering at abe8. Our automated system and human review team work together to ensure no one under 18 can open an account. Parents and guardians are also advised to use parental controls on their own devices.

Reach out to abe8 via live chat or at [email protected]. Our responsible gaming team will help you set up self-exclusion and connect you with professional mental health services. Everything is handled in complete confidence, with no judgment.
