Player Wellbeing First
Responsible Gaming at i8fb – Play Smart, Stay in Control
i8fb believes gambling should always be entertaining — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page explains the tools and guidance available to help every player stay in control.
21+ Only — Strictly Enforced
The i8fb platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We verify player age at registration and during the withdrawal process. Underage gambling is illegal and will result in immediate account closure and forfeiture of any balance.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At i8fb, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how the platform is designed, operated, and improved. i8fb offers cricket betting, live casino, slots, and crash games to players across Bangladesh, and we recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can develop from a leisure activity into a behaviour that causes harm. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for every player to set their own boundaries, monitor their activity, and step back when they need to.
i8fb's responsible gaming framework is built around three principles: prevention, early intervention, and support. We aim to prevent problem gambling from developing in the first place by giving players robust self-management tools from the moment they register. Where we detect patterns of behaviour that may indicate emerging risk, our team is trained to reach out proactively. And for any player who feels that gambling is becoming a problem, we provide a clear, straightforward path to support — including immediate account restriction or closure at the player's request.
Gambling is meant to be fun. Whether you are placing a bet on the Bangladesh Tigers in a BPL match, spinning the reels on your favourite slots title, or trying your luck at a live casino table, the experience should be enjoyable and within your means. The tools and guidance on this page are here to help you ensure it stays that way — for every session, every week, every month.
Responsible Gaming Tools Available on i8fb
Every registered player on i8fb has access to the following tools at any time, at no cost, and without requiring justification.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount for your account. Once a limit is active, it cannot be increased for a minimum cooling-off period of 24 hours. Decreases take effect immediately. Deposit limits are the single most effective tool for keeping your gambling spend within a budget you are comfortable with.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration for each time you log in to i8fb. When your session limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and shown a summary of your session's activity, including time played and net result. This tool is particularly useful for players who lose track of time during extended gaming sessions.
Time-Out Periods
Take a short break from gambling without closing your account permanently. Time-out periods are available in durations of 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, and 1 month. During a time-out, your account is suspended — you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Your account balance is preserved and withdrawals remain available.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure for players who feel they need a more significant break from gambling. Self-exclusion periods on i8fb range from 6 months to 5 years. During self-exclusion your account is permanently closed for the duration of the exclusion period. You cannot reverse or reduce a self-exclusion once it is active. Any remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method within 5 business days of activation.
Activity & Spend Statements
Request a full statement of your gaming activity for any period, including total wagered, total won, total deposited, and total withdrawn. Reviewing your activity statement regularly is one of the most effective ways to maintain an honest picture of how gambling fits into your overall budget.
Reality Check Reminders
Set a reminder to appear at regular intervals — every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 2 hours — while you are logged in and playing. Each reminder displays your current session duration, net result, and a prompt asking whether you wish to continue. Reality checks are a lightweight nudge that keeps time and spend front-of-mind during play.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Problem gambling often develops gradually. Being aware of the following signs — in yourself or someone close to you — can help you address a problem before it becomes serious.
Chasing Losses
Betting more than planned in an attempt to win back money that has been lost.
Increasing Bets
Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction.
Hiding Gambling
Concealing gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues out of shame or fear of judgment.
Financial Strain
Borrowing money, missing bill payments, or experiencing financial hardship as a direct result of gambling spend.
Losing Track of Time
Spending far longer gambling than originally intended, consistently, across multiple sessions.
Mood Dependency
Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when not gambling, or gambling as a way to escape negative emotions.
How to Activate Your Responsible Gaming Settings
All responsible gaming tools are available directly through your i8fb account. Follow these steps to set up your preferred limits and controls.
Log In to Your Account
Access your i8fb account using your registered username and password. If you have forgotten your login details, contact support before your next gaming session.
Navigate to Account Settings
From the main menu, navigate to your Account Settings page. The Responsible Gaming section is clearly labelled and accessible from the top of your account dashboard.
Choose Your Tool
Select the tool you wish to activate — deposit limit, session time limit, time-out, self-exclusion, or reality check reminder. Each tool has a brief explanation of how it works and what to expect.
Set Your Parameters
Enter your chosen limit, duration, or exclusion period. Review the confirmation screen carefully before submitting — some changes (particularly self-exclusion and time-out periods) take immediate effect and cannot be reversed mid-period.
Contact Support If Needed
If you would prefer to have a limit or restriction set by the i8fb support team on your behalf — or if you want to request immediate account closure — contact our support team at [email protected] and your request will be actioned as a priority.
Tips for Healthy, Enjoyable Gambling
Responsible gambling is not about avoiding gambling entirely — it is about maintaining a healthy relationship with it. These practical guidelines will help you keep gambling in its proper place as a form of entertainment.
Set a Budget Before You Start
Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you log in — and treat that amount as the cost of your entertainment, just as you would a cinema ticket or a night out in Dhaka. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, including rent, food, or household expenses. Use i8fb's deposit limit feature to turn your mental budget into a hard account-level limit.
Gambling Is Not an Income Strategy
No betting or gaming system can reliably generate consistent profit over time. The house edge is a mathematical certainty built into every game. Treat every bet as entertainment spend — any winnings are a bonus, not an expected return. Players who approach gambling as an income stream are at significantly higher risk of problem gambling behaviour.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the Platform at regular intervals — even a five-minute break between gaming sessions helps you stay grounded. Use i8fb's session time limits and reality check features to build structured pauses into your play. If you notice that you are playing longer than planned, activate a time-out period immediately.
Never Gamble Under the Influence
Avoid gambling when you have been drinking alcohol, taking medication that affects your judgment, or when you are in a heightened emotional state — whether that is stress, grief, or euphoria. Sound decision-making is essential to responsible gambling, and impaired judgment makes it much harder to stick to your pre-set limits and intentions.
Age Verification and Player Protection
i8fb requires all players to be aged 21 or above. Age verification is conducted at the point of registration and is repeated during the withdrawal process for accounts that have not previously submitted identity documents. Players who cannot satisfactorily verify their age will have their accounts suspended and any pending withdrawals placed on hold until verification is complete.
If you share a device with a minor or a person under the age of 21, please ensure that your i8fb account is secured with a strong, unique password and that you log out fully after every session. Do not store your login credentials in your browser's autofill if others have access to your device. If you believe a minor has accessed or attempted to access an i8fb account, please contact support immediately.
