1. What is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming is an approach that ensures online betting and gaming remains a safe, enjoyable, and entertaining activity. 188bes believes gaming should be a means of social interaction and entertainment, never a source of financial problems or mental stress.

As an online betting platform, 188bes has a critical responsibility towards player protection. We recognize that gambling can become a problem for some individuals, and we actively work to prevent and address these issues.

Core principles of responsible gaming:

  • Gaming should always be seen as entertainment, not a source of income
  • Only use money you can afford to lose
  • Never chase losses to get your money back
  • Take regular breaks and keep your gaming time limited
  • Never bet when under the influence (alcohol or stress)
  • Regularly review your gaming activity and identify signs of problems

Important Warning

188bes is strictly for individuals aged 18 years or older. Betting by minors is completely prohibited and legally punishable. If you feel your gaming is getting out of control, please seek help immediately.

2. 188bes Self-Control Tools

188bes provides various tools to help you keep your gaming activity under control. These tools are designed to empower you and help you make informed decisions.

Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your 188bes account. Once a limit is set, you won't be able to deposit more than that amount during the specified period.

How to set: Go to My Account > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits and set your preferred limit. Reductions take effect immediately, but increases require a 24-hour cooling period.

Loss Limits

Loss limits help you control how much money you can lose within a specific timeframe. At 188bes, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly loss limits.

How it works: When you reach your loss limit, you won't be able to place any more bets during that period. This protects you from impulsive decisions and chasing losses.

Session Time Limit

Session time limits alert you when you've been playing continuously for an extended period. 188bes recommends taking regular breaks and tracking your time.

Features: You can set session limits of 1, 2, 4, or 6 hours. When time expires, a pop-up notification will appear and you can decide whether to take a break or continue.

Reality Check

The Reality Check feature periodically reminds you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent or won. It helps you stay aware of your gaming activity.

Customization: At 188bes you can set how frequently you want to receive reminders - from 15 minutes to 6 hours.

Temporary Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a short break, 188bes offers temporary self-exclusion. You can block yourself for 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month, or 6 months.

During the exclusion period: You won't be able to log in, make any deposits, or receive any marketing communications. Your account will automatically reactivate once the period ends.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you believe gambling has become a serious problem for you, you can request permanent self-exclusion. This is a long-term solution that can last from a minimum of 6 months to indefinitely.

Process: Contact 188bes support and complete a form. Your account will be permanently suspended and any pending balance will be returned. Reactivation is a lengthy process and only possible after serious consideration.

4. Guidance for Family and Friends

If you're concerned that a family member or friend is suffering from problematic gambling, 188bes is ready to help you. Here are some ways you can help:

Frequently Asked Questions

The 188bes referral program is very generous and both you and your friend will benefit. To get referral rewards: First log into your account and go to the Promotions or Refer a Friend section. There you'll find your unique referral link or code. Share this link with your friends via WhatsApp, Facebook, or any social media. When your friend signs up using this link and makes their first deposit (usually minimum BDT 1,000), both of you will receive rewards. Referrer (you) will receive: Typically BDT 500-1,000 bonus cash or free bet depending on your referred friend's first deposit amount. Some special promotions offer even more. Referred friend will receive: An enhanced welcome bonus that's better than the standard bonus. For example, a 100% deposit match bonus or extra free spins. To claim rewards: Rewards will be automatically credited to your account when your friend qualifies (deposit + wagering requirements met). You'll typically receive the bonus within 24-48 hours. Remember referral bonuses are subject to wagering requirements. VIP members get special unlimited referral bonuses - the more you refer, the more you earn.

Every bonus at 188bes has wagering requirements that must be met before the bonus can be withdrawn. Understanding wagering requirements: If you receive a BDT 1,000 bonus and the wagering requirement is 20x, you'll need to place a total of BDT 20,000 in bets (1,000 x 20) to unlock the bonus. Some bonuses require you to wager just the bonus amount, while others require both bonus + deposit. 188bes bonus terms clearly state which applies. Game Contribution: Not all games contribute equally to wagering requirements. Slot games: 100% contribution - if you bet BDT 100, the full BDT 100 counts. Table games (blackjack, roulette): 10-20% contribution - BDT 100 bet only counts as BDT 10-20. Live Casino: typically 5-15%. Some games may be completely excluded. Tracking wagering: Go to My Account > Bonuses > Active Bonuses section. You'll see how much wagering has been completed and how much remains. You'll see a progress bar that updates in real-time. Tips for completing wagering faster: Play high-contribution games like slots. Choose medium variance games to keep your balance going longer. Stick to the max bet limit - typically BDT 1,000 per bet when playing with bonus. Remember you can't withdraw big wins before wagering is complete. Be patient and play responsibly.
