🛡️ AB8's Responsible Gaming Promise

Learn about the steps AB8 has taken to protect its members.

Set Your Own Limits

On AB8, you decide exactly how much you want to wager per day or per week. Once a limit is set, it cannot be easily increased — and that friction is there to protect you.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? You can activate "Cool-Off" mode for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this period you won't be able to log in to your account, but all your information will remain intact.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for anywhere from 6 months up to permanently. During self-exclusion, you will not receive any promotional messages from AB8.

Set Deposit Limit

You can set your own cap on how much you deposit each month. Any increase to that limit requires a 72-hour waiting period, so impulsive decisions are kept in check.

Gaming Time Tracker

You can check how long you've been playing on AB8 directly from your account. You can also opt in to receive reminder notifications once a set time limit is reached.

Age Verification Is Mandatory

AB8 strictly prohibits account registration for anyone under 18. Proof of age may be requested at any time, and withdrawals may be held until verification is complete.

⚙️ How to Use the Protection Tools

Every tool is easy to set up — just a matter of minutes.

1
Go to Account Settings

After logging in, click your profile icon in the top-right corner. Select the "Responsible Gaming" option. All protection tools are in one place.

2
Set a Limit or Take a Break

Choose what works for you — a deposit limit, a betting limit, a session time limit, or a Cool-Off period. Enter the amount or duration and click "Confirm." That's all it takes.

3
Limit Activation Time

Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. But if you want to increase one, you're given a 72-hour "cooling-off" period to think it over. Self-exclusion decisions cannot be reversed before the chosen period has ended.

4
Also Available via Support

You can set limits even if you're having trouble accessing the app or site. Reach us via live chat or email us at support@ab8.biz. Let us know in Bangla if you prefer — we'll get it sorted quickly.

5
Review History

Your account's "Transaction History" and "Betting History" let you see exactly how much you've spent over the past week or month. Understanding your own spending patterns is the first step toward responsible gaming.

6
Family Blocking Available on Request

If you want to protect a minor or a vulnerable person in your household, let our support team know. AB8 will do its best to assist with device-level blocking.

⚠️ Recognise the Warning Signs

If you notice any of these in yourself, it's time to take a step back.

  • Repeatedly playing to try to win back money you've lost
  • Setting aside money earmarked for essentials in order to fund gaming
  • Feeling restless or irritable when you're not playing
  • Hiding how much you're playing from family or friends
  • Gaming is cutting into time for sleep, work, or family
  • Repeatedly spending beyond your set budget
  • Borrowing money or taking on debt to fund gaming
  • Tried to Stop But Couldn't

If you notice one or more of these signs: This isn't weakness — it's a signal. Reach out via AB8's live chat. You won't be judged; you'll be helped.

AB8 – Committed to Responsible Gaming

What Responsible Gaming Really Means – AB8's Perspective

When online gaming platforms talk about "responsible gaming," it's often little more than a legal checkbox. On some sites, the page is hard to find and the language is too complex to follow. AB8 takes a different approach. Responsible gaming isn't a marketing exercise for us — it's a core part of how this platform is built.

What is gaming, really? It's entertainment — the same way watching a film or catching a cricket match is. The problem starts when that entertainment is no longer something you can control. Millions of bets are placed on AB8 every day, and the vast majority of people play within a set budget and enjoy the experience. But for a small number of people, it can become a problem — and it's for those people that AB8's responsible gaming program exists.

Bangladesh presents a particular challenge. Many households face financial pressure, and some people start viewing gaming as a "quick way to earn money." That mindset is the most dangerous one of all. AB8 is clear about this — gaming is not a source of income; it's a form of entertainment that costs money. If losing a bet would put your household under strain, that money should not be wagered.

A lot of people find deposit limits annoying at first. The feeling of "I can make my own decisions" is completely natural. But research shows that when you're on a winning streak — or chasing losses after a bad run — emotion tends to override logic. That's exactly what limits are for: protecting the calm, rational decision you made before things got heated. At AB8, lowering a limit takes effect instantly, but raising one requires a 72-hour waiting period — and that's entirely by design.

There's a common misconception about self-exclusion — that it means "giving up" or admitting weakness. It's actually the opposite. Someone who recognizes they need a break and takes action on that is showing real strength. When you request self-exclusion at AB8, there are no questions asked and no "why are you leaving?" It's processed directly, and no promotions will be sent for the duration of the exclusion period.

Family members who are concerned about a loved one's gaming are welcome to contact AB8. Directly closing another person's account may not always be possible due to privacy reasons, but we can offer guidance and advice. Family involvement can make a real difference in these situations.

Many members don't know this, but AB8 lets you review your full gaming history. From your account, you can see exactly how much you deposited over the past 30 days, how many bets you placed, and what your net result was — profit or loss. These numbers can be eye-opening. Even when you have a vague sense that things have "gone a bit far," seeing the actual figures makes the reality hard to ignore.

AB8's technology system continuously analyses user behaviour patterns. If someone suddenly starts making significantly larger deposits or repeatedly loses big bets in a short period, the system automatically generates an alert. In such cases, AB8's responsible gaming team may reach out to that member directly. This may come as a surprise to some, but it reflects exactly the commitment we stand by.

One final thought — play at AB8, enjoy yourself, celebrate your wins, and take your losses in stride. Let gaming be a small, enjoyable part of your life — not the whole of it. The moment you feel that balance slipping, pause and reach out. AB8 is always here.

❓ Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about safety tools and Sports Betting.

Setting a budget limit or taking a break at AB8 is straightforward. Log in and go to the "Responsible Gaming" section under your profile settings. You'll find three types of limits: daily deposit limit, weekly betting limit, and maximum monthly loss limit. Choose the one you need, enter an amount, and set it. For breaks, the "Cool-Off" option lets you step away for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. There's one important rule about changes: lowering a limit or extending a break takes effect immediately, but increasing a limit or shortening a break requires a 72-hour waiting period. This is intentional — it prevents in-the-moment emotions from overriding your safety settings. Self-exclusion periods cannot be changed until the selected duration has fully elapsed. If you're unable to access the site, you can also email support to have a limit set on your behalf.

Beyond cricket, AB8 offers betting on over 20 sports — football, tennis, badminton, basketball, volleyball, and more. To get started, head to the Sports Betting section and select "Football" from the left-hand menu. All the major tournaments are always available — Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Champions League, and others. Click on any match and you'll find a range of markets: match winner, both teams to score, first-half result, total goals, and more. Pick a market you understand, click the odds to add it to your bet slip, enter your stake, and confirm. If you're new, start small and take your time exploring the different markets. Rules for each market are available to view right there on the page.
