What Does Responsible Gaming Actually Mean?
8WWW believes gaming should be a form of entertainment — not a source of income or the only way to unwind. Responsible gaming means staying aware of how much time and money you spend, keeping your mental wellbeing in check, and never letting gaming take priority over your everyday responsibilities.
Before playing on our platform, every player should know that all game outcomes are random (based on a Random Number Generator) and no strategy or past result can guarantee a future win. Only bet what you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
Gaming is meant to be fun. If you feel it's getting hard to stop, or you keep placing bigger bets to chase losses, take a break right now and reach out to our 24/7 live chat.
How do you know if gaming is becoming a problem?
If any of the signs below apply to you, take it seriously:
- Chasing losses by betting more and more to win back money.
- Hiding your gaming habits from family or friends.
- Spending more time or money on gaming than you planned.
- Spending money on gaming instead of paying bills, food, or other essential expenses.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not playing.
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities.
- Taking loans or borrowing money from others to fund your gaming.
These signs are not a sign of weakness. Recognising them early makes it easier to get help in time.
What limits can you set on 8WWW?
We provide several tools to help players manage their own gaming. You can activate these through your account settings or via live chat.
| Limit Type | What It Controls | Takes Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Deposit Limit | Maximum amount you can deposit each day | Immediately |
| Weekly Deposit Limit | Sets the total deposit amount allowed per week | Immediately |
| Monthly Deposit Limit | Sets the total deposit amount allowed per month | Immediately |
| Session Time Limit | Maximum time you can play in one session | Immediately |
| Loss Limit | Maximum amount you can lose within a set period | Immediately |
| Bet Size Limit | Maximum amount allowed per single bet | Immediately |
Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit will not take effect for at least 72 hours — this delay is intentional, so decisions aren't made in the heat of the moment.
How to set up Self-Exclusion?
Self-exclusion means blocking gaming on your account for a set period or permanently. During this time, you will not be able to log in and no bonus offers will be sent to you.

Go to live chat or account settings
Type "Self-Exclusion" in our 24/7 live chat, or go to the "Security" section in your account settings.

Choose the exclusion duration
Pick from 30 days, 60 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion — whichever suits you.

A confirmation message will be sent to your registered mobile number. Follow the instructions in that message to confirm.
-
4
Exclusion takes effect immediately
Once confirmed, your account will be locked straight away. To reactivate it after the period ends, you will need to contact our support team.
If you choose permanent exclusion, that account can never be recovered. To withdraw any remaining balance during an exclusion period, please contact us via live chat.
Protecting children and minors
8WWW strictly does not allow anyone under 18 to open an account or play. If there are children or teenagers in your home, please take the following steps:
- Use a password or biometric lock on your device so children cannot access your account.
- Install parental control software on your browser for gaming sites (such as Net Nanny or Qustodio).
- Do not leave your device unattended while you are logged in.
- Never share your login details with anyone in your family.
Age is verified during our registration process. Even so, if you suspect a minor has opened an account, contact us immediately via live chat — we will investigate without delay.
Check in with yourself while you play
Session Alert (Reality Check)
You can set up automatic break reminders at regular intervals (for example, every 30 minutes). The reminder will show how long you've been playing and how much you've deposited or withdrawn. To turn this on, go to the "Gaming Limits" section in your account settings.
Cooling-Off Period
As a lighter step before full self-exclusion, you can temporarily close your account for anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days. During this time, login is completely blocked, but your account is not deleted.
Questions to ask yourself
- How much have I spent on gaming in total this month?
- When was the last time I had a session that actually ended in profit?
- Is gaming taking up more time than family or work?
- Do I turn to gaming when I'm feeling low or stressed?
Answering these questions honestly makes it easier to spot a problem at an early stage.
Where to get help?
Alongside 8WWW's own support, you can also reach out to independent organisations:
Talk directly with our team via 24/7 live chat. We can help you set limits, apply for self-exclusion, or sort out any account-related concerns.
For professional mental health counselling on gaming addiction in Bangladesh, contact the national mental health helpline Kaan Pete Roi. The service is completely confidential and free of charge.
8WWW Responsible Gaming – Common Questions
01 Will setting a deposit limit cancel my bonus?
No, setting a deposit limit does not cancel your bonus. However, if the limit prevents you from meeting the minimum deposit requirement for a specific bonus, that bonus will not apply. Check the terms of any active bonus before setting a limit.
02 What happens to my balance during self-exclusion?
Your account balance is kept safe during self-exclusion. If you wish to withdraw funds during this period, contact us via live chat — the minimum withdrawal amount is ৳1,500 and processing takes up to 6 minutes.
03 A family member is in trouble — how can I help?
You can raise a concern as a third party through our live chat. We will assess the situation while maintaining confidentiality. Please note that we cannot share any account holder's details without their consent.
04 Will my account reopen automatically after the cooling-off period ends?
No. Your account does not reactivate automatically once the cooling-off period is over. You will need to contact us via live chat and request reactivation yourself, confirming that you are making a fully informed decision.
05 Does 8WWW keep records of problem gaming behaviour?
Yes. Our system can automatically flag unusual playing patterns — such as very long sessions or multiple large deposits in a short time. In such cases, our team may reach out to you proactively. This is done entirely for your protection.
