What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?
Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a form of entertainment — not a source of income or an escape from problems. PP88 believes that gaming is truly enjoyable only when players are mindful and play within their limits.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh — but so are the risks. Many people end up spending excessive time and money without realizing it. PP88's responsible gaming policy is designed to address exactly these concerns.
Keep in mind: Gaming is meant to be entertainment. Chasing losses by playing more is never the solution — it only makes things worse.
PP88's Responsible Gaming Tools
PP88 provides multiple effective tools to help players stay in control. All of these tools are accessible directly from your account settings.
Deposit Limit
Set maximum daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 7-day waiting period.
Loss Limit
Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose within a given period. Once you hit the limit, your game will stop automatically.
Session Limit
Set a limit on how long you play in one session. You'll receive a notification when your time is up, and the session will end automatically.
Reality Check
During scheduled breaks, you'll see a summary of your gaming session — how long you've played and how much you've won or lost.
Cooling-Off
Take a temporary break — anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. Your account will be inaccessible during this period.
Self-Exclusion
Use self-exclusion for a longer break. Your account will be fully suspended for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years.
Recognise the Signs of Addiction
Gaming addiction often develops gradually. Watch for the signs below in yourself or someone close to you. PP88 always encourages responsible play.
Chasing losses by continuing to play in an attempt to recover lost money
Being unable to stop gaming, or feeling unsettled when you do
Hiding your gaming from family or friends
Gaming with household money or borrowed funds
Neglecting work, studies, or daily responsibilities to keep playing
Lying about or denying your gaming behaviour
Feeling angry or down after a loss
Skipping sleep, meals, or rest to keep playing
If three or more of the signs above apply to you, seek help for responsible gaming right away. This is not a sign of weakness — it takes real courage.
Self-Assessment
PP88 wants every user to be aware of their own gaming habits. Ask yourself the questions below — and answer honestly.
How much time did you spend gaming last week? Was it more than you planned?
Does the amount you lose on gaming make up a significant portion of your monthly budget? Is it causing you stress?
Have family or friends ever expressed concern about your gaming habits?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not gaming?
Do you need to bet more than before just to feel the same level of excitement?
Have you tried repeatedly to cut back on gaming and failed?
If you answered "yes" to most of these questions, start using PP88's responsible gaming tools right away and reach out to support if needed.
Practical Responsible Gaming Tips
Follow the tips below to keep your gaming responsible at PP88. These aren't just rules — they're genuinely in your best interest.
Set Your Budget First
Decide how much you're willing to spend before you start playing. Your budget should only be money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
Set a Time Limit
Decide how long you'll play before you start. Set a timer and stop when it goes off. PP88's session timer is there to help you do exactly that.
Don't Play on Impulse
Avoid gaming when you're angry, feeling down, or under emotional stress. Responsible gaming means playing in the right headspace.
Don't try to chase your losses
"Chasing losses" is one of the most dangerous habits you can develop. If you lose during a session, stop for the rest of the day.
Take Regular Breaks
Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, drink some water, take a walk — give both your body and mind a chance to reset.
Let Your Family Know
There's nothing to hide about gaming. Letting your family know means they can support you if needed, and it keeps you accountable.
Minor Protection
Protecting minors is the most critical part of responsible gaming at PP88. No one under the age of 18 is permitted to use PP88.
- Age is verified at registration using date of birth and NID.
- Any suspicious account flagged by the system is investigated immediately.
- If a user is confirmed to be a minor, their account will be permanently closed.
- Parents can install parental control software on their children's devices.
A note for parents: If your child is using PP88 or any online gaming platform, have an open conversation with them. Set up parental controls and monitor their online activity.
