8kbat offers 6 powerful safeguards to protect you

Set Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once set, increasing a limit requires a 7-day wait — this is there to protect you.

Session Time Limit

Decide how many hours you want to spend gaming before you start. When the time is up, 8kbat will automatically alert you or end your session.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a break from 1 day up to 6 weeks. While cooling-off is active, you will not be able to log into your account, but withdrawals will still be permitted.

Self-exclusion

Exclude yourself for anywhere from 6 months to permanently. No promotional messages will be sent during the exclusion period.

Set a loss limit

Your account will be automatically locked once your losses reach the set amount, preventing impulsive overspending.

What Is Responsible Gaming and Why Does It Matter

Responsible gambling means enjoying gaming purely for entertainment — within a set budget and time limit, free from stress or financial strain. 8kbat believes gaming should bring joy, not fear or anxiety.

Many people in Bangladesh enjoy online gaming as a form of entertainment. However, a lack of awareness can lead some to go beyond healthy limits. 8kbat's responsible gambling programme is designed to prevent exactly that.

Responsible gaming doesn't mean enjoying yourself less. In fact, playing within healthy boundaries makes gaming even more rewarding — because there's nothing to regret afterward. 8kbat's responsible gaming approach is here to help you maintain that balance.

Keep in mind

Gaming should never be seen as a way to earn money. It's entertainment — enjoy it only with that mindset.

10 Tips for Safe & Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming at 8kbat means striking the right balance between fun and safety. Follow these 10 tips to keep your gaming experience enjoyable at all times:

1
Set your budget first

Decide how much you're willing to spend before each session. Don't exceed that limit, even if you lose. This is the foundation of responsible gaming.

2
Stick to Your Time Limits

Decide how many hours a day you'll spend gaming before you start. Set a timer on your phone or use 8kbat's session timer.

3
Accept Your Losses

Wins and losses are a natural part of gaming. After a loss, don't increase your bets thinking you'll "win it back" — that's the biggest trap of all.

4
Don't bet on impulse

Don't game when you're drunk, exhausted, angry, or emotionally distressed. Your judgment is compromised in these states.

5
Don't treat gaming as a source of income

Betting always carries risk. Never bet with money meant for your primary income or essential expenses.

6
Take Regular Breaks

Extended gaming sessions lead to fatigue and poor decision-making. Take at least a 10-minute break every hour.

7
Use limit-setting tools

Use 8kbat's deposit limits, loss limits, and session timer — they're built for your benefit.

8
Make time for other leisure activities

Balance your time across family, friends, and hobbies — not just gaming. A well-rounded life is at the heart of responsible gaming.

9
Review Your Gaming History

Review your betting and spending history once a month. It helps you stay aware and in control.

10
Get Help When You Need It

Asking for help isn't weakness — it takes courage. The 8kbat support team is always here for you.

How to Set Your Limits

You can set various limits yourself through your 8kbat account settings. The available limits are described below:

Limit Type Duration Time to take effect To make changes
Deposit limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediately 7-day wait to increase
Loss Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediately 7-day wait to increase
Bet Limit Per Bet Immediately 24-hour wait to increase
Session time Per Session Immediately Change anytime
Cooling-off 1 day – 6 weeks Immediately Changes take effect after the current period ends
Easy to Lower, Hard to Raise

This is intentional by design — to prevent you from raising your limits impulsively and causing harm.

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available. Once activated, your 8kbat account will be fully deactivated for a set period of time.

  • 6 months: Ideal for a temporary exclusion.

During the exclusion period:
