Player Wellbeing & Safe Play
Responsible Gaming at 8xk
At 8xk, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable pastime — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. We provide every player in Bangladesh with practical tools to stay in control of their gaming, including deposit limits, time-out periods, and full self-exclusion. Your wellbeing comes first, always.
Our Pledge to Players
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
8xk operates as a responsible gaming platform built specifically for the Bangladesh market. From the moment we launched, responsible gaming has been built into the core of how 8xk functions — not treated as a compliance checkbox, but as a genuine operational priority. We take our duty of care toward every player seriously, and we have invested in the tools, processes, and trained support staff needed to uphold that duty.
Responsible gaming at 8xk means three things in practice. First, we only allow adults aged 18 and above to register and play on the platform. Second, we give players transparent, accessible control tools so they can set meaningful limits on their own behaviour before problems develop. Third, we maintain a support team available around the clock that is trained to recognise and respond to signs of problem gambling with care and without judgment.
We also recognise that responsible gaming is not purely an individual responsibility. Families, friends, and communities all play a role. If you are concerned about a family member's gambling behaviour, the guidance on this page applies equally to you — and our support team is available to discuss concerns on behalf of a loved one.
Player Protection First
Every feature on the 8xk platform is designed with player safety in mind. From account verification to automated activity monitoring, we maintain active safeguards to protect players from potential harm.
Fair and Transparent Play
All games on 8xk use certified random number generators and are provided by internationally recognised game studios. Outcomes are determined fairly, and we do not manipulate results in any way.
Non-Judgmental Support
Our support team is trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with sensitivity and discretion. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, and our team will treat every request with respect.
Activity Monitoring
8xk's systems continuously monitor gaming activity across accounts for patterns that may indicate problem gambling. When such patterns are identified, our team takes proactive steps to reach out to affected players.
Secure Account Controls
All responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion requests — are processed securely and take effect promptly. Reversing protective measures always includes a mandatory cooling-off period.
Always Accessible on Mobile
Because most 8xk players in Bangladesh access the platform via mobile, all responsible gaming tools and support features are fully accessible from any smartphone — no desktop required.
Section 2
Age Restriction — 18+ Only
Age verification is conducted as part of the account registration process and again during the Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification stage. Players may be required to submit a copy of their National Identity Card (NID), passport, or other government-issued identification document confirming their date of birth before withdrawals are processed or account limits are increased.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a minor in your household has accessed 8xk using your device or account details, please contact support immediately at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). Our team will investigate and take appropriate action as quickly as possible, including account closure and a review of any associated transactions.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians in Bangladesh to make use of parental control software and device-level screen time restrictions to prevent minors from accessing any online gambling platform, including 8xk. Responsible gaming begins at home, and we support any measure that keeps gambling away from young people.
Section 3
Recognising Warning Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise from the inside. Most people who develop a gambling problem do not set out to do so — it often starts as harmless entertainment and escalates slowly over time. Awareness of the warning signs is the first step toward addressing the issue before it causes serious harm to you, your family, or your finances.
The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is becoming a problem. If you recognise several of these in yourself or someone you know, it is important to act promptly:
Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost, often increasing bet sizes in the process.
Losing Track of Time: Spending significantly more time gambling than originally intended, repeatedly missing intended stop times.
Hiding Behaviour: Concealing gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues, or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling.
Gambling to Cope: Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties rather than as entertainment.
Borrowing to Gamble: Taking loans, using credit, borrowing from family or friends, or selling personal possessions in order to fund gambling activity.
Irritability When Not Gambling: Feeling restless, irritable, anxious, or unable to relax when not gambling, or when attempting to reduce gambling frequency.
Neglecting Responsibilities: Gambling taking priority over work, family responsibilities, bill payments, meals, or personal health and hygiene.
Failed Attempts to Stop: Having tried and failed to cut down or stop gambling on multiple occasions, despite a genuine desire to do so.
Identifying these patterns honestly requires self-awareness and courage. If you recognise several of these signs in your own behaviour, please do not wait — use the tools available on this page or contact the 8xk support team today. Early intervention leads to significantly better outcomes.

Responsible Gaming Player Tools
8xk provides every registered player with a suite of practical tools designed to help maintain healthy gambling habits. These tools are available through your account settings and via the support team. There is no cost to use any of these features — they exist because your wellbeing matters to us.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you are permitted to deposit within a chosen time period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 7-day cooling-off period.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for a single continuous gaming session. When the limit is reached, you will receive an alert and be logged out automatically. Session limits help prevent the "time distortion" effect common during extended play.
Time-Out / Cooling-Off
Take a short break from 8xk by activating a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bets. Time-outs cannot be cancelled early.
Self-Exclusion
Request a longer-term or permanent exclusion from 8xk. Self-exclusion periods are available for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or indefinitely. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the minimum period has fully elapsed. See Section 5 for full details.
Section 5
Self-Exclusion — How It Works
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available on 8xk. It is intended for players who feel that their gambling has become or is at risk of becoming a serious problem, and who want to remove all access to the platform for a meaningful period of time. We treat every self-exclusion request with the utmost seriousness and process it without delay.
During a self-exclusion period, your 8xk account is fully suspended. You will be unable to log in, make deposits, place bets, or participate in any promotional activity. Any pending withdrawal at the time of self-exclusion will be processed and returned to your registered payment method. 8xk will also take reasonable steps to remove your contact details from marketing communications lists for the duration of your exclusion.
Contact Support to Request Exclusion
Reach out to the 8xk support team via live chat or by emailing [email protected]. Clearly state that you wish to self-exclude and specify your preferred exclusion period (6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or indefinite). You do not need to provide a reason.
Identity Confirmation
Our support team will confirm your identity to ensure the exclusion is applied to the correct account. You may be asked to verify your registered mobile number or provide your username. This step protects against unauthorised exclusion requests.
Immediate Account Suspension
Once your identity is confirmed, your account will be suspended immediately — within the same support session. You will receive a confirmation via your registered contact details. The exclusion takes effect at that moment, not at the end of the current session.
Withdrawal of Any Remaining Balance
Any balance remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be processed for withdrawal to your registered bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account within the standard processing timeframe. You will not lose funds you are entitled to.
Reinstatement After the Exclusion Period
When the minimum exclusion period has fully elapsed, you may contact support to request account reinstatement. There is a mandatory 7-day reflection period before reinstatement is processed. Indefinite exclusions cannot be reversed without a formal review by the support team and a minimum waiting period of 6 months.
Section 6
Setting Deposit Limits
Deposit limits are one of the most effective practical tools for keeping gambling within a budget you can genuinely afford. By setting a hard ceiling on how much money can enter your 8xk account over a given time period, you remove the temptation to exceed your intended spend during a losing streak or an extended session.
8xk allows players to set deposit limits across three time horizons:
- Daily Deposit Limit: A maximum total deposit amount across any rolling 24-hour period. Useful for players who play frequently and want tight day-to-day control over their spending.
- Weekly Deposit Limit: A maximum total deposit amount across any rolling 7-day period. Suits players who prefer to think about their entertainment budget on a weekly basis.
- Monthly Deposit Limit: A maximum total deposit amount across any calendar month. Ideal for players who manage their personal finances on a monthly cycle, aligned with salary or income schedules.
Deposit limits can be set at any amount you choose — there is no minimum limit enforced by 8xk. We encourage you to set limits that reflect what you can comfortably afford to spend on entertainment without impacting your essential household expenses, savings goals, or financial obligations. As a guide, many responsible gaming advocates recommend that gambling expenditure should never exceed 1% to 2% of monthly disposable income.
To set or adjust your deposit limits, log into your 8xk account and navigate to Account Settings, then to the Responsible Gaming section. Alternatively, contact the support team via live chat and a team member will assist you in real time.
Section 7
Getting Help
If you feel that gambling has become a problem in your life — or if you are concerned about a friend or family member — the most important thing you can do is to reach out and speak to someone. Problem gambling is a recognised condition, and help is available. You do not need to be at a crisis point to ask for support; early conversations are always better than late ones.
The 8xk support team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our team members are trained to handle responsible gaming conversations sensitively and without judgment. Whether you want to discuss activating a tool, need someone to talk to, or simply want information about the options available to you, our team is here.
Reach Out to 8xk Support
Our responsible gaming support team is available around the clock via live chat on the platform. For written correspondence, you can also contact us at the address below. Include your registered username or mobile number so we can locate your account quickly.
[email protected](Plain text only — not a clickable link. Copy and paste into your email client if needed.)
In addition to contacting 8xk directly, we encourage players who are experiencing persistent gambling-related difficulties to speak to a trusted family member, a doctor, a counsellor, or a mental health professional. Gambling-related harm can affect mental health, relationships, and financial stability — all of which deserve dedicated professional attention that goes beyond what a gaming platform's support team can provide.

Safe Play Tips
For the vast majority of players, gambling remains an enjoyable hobby when approached with a clear head and sensible boundaries. The following practical guidelines are drawn from widely recognised responsible gaming best practices and are relevant to every 8xk player regardless of experience level or frequency of play.
- Set a budget before you play. Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you open the platform — not during or after a session. Treat this amount as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment or a loan to yourself.
- Never chase losses. Losing sessions are a normal part of gambling. Increasing your bets or making additional deposits in an attempt to recover losses is one of the most common pathways to serious problem gambling. Accept losses as part of the experience and walk away.
- Set a time limit and stick to it. Use the session time limit feature on 8xk, or simply set an alarm on your phone. Extended play without breaks distorts your sense of time and impairs decision-making.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use rent money, grocery money, savings, or borrowed funds for gambling. Your financial obligations and safety net must always come before entertainment spending.
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen periodically. Stretch, have a glass of water, and check in with yourself. Are you still enjoying this, or are you playing out of frustration, boredom, or habit?
- Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, or under the influence. Emotional states and substances significantly impair judgement and are among the most common factors behind irresponsible gambling decisions.
- Keep gambling separate from your social and family life. Gambling should never be a substitute for social interaction or family time. If it begins to replace meaningful relationships, that is a sign worth paying attention to.
- Review your gaming history periodically. 8xk provides a transaction and gaming history in your account. Reviewing this occasionally gives you an honest picture of your spending patterns and helps you stay aligned with your budget.
Responsible gaming is not about restricting your enjoyment — it is about ensuring that the enjoyment is sustainable. 8xk is here for the long term, and we want every player to be able to enjoy the platform safely and comfortably for years to come.
