Responsible Gaming at pcb 88
At pcb 88, gambling is entertainment — never a financial strategy. We provide every player in Bangladesh with the tools, information, and support needed to stay in control, set healthy limits, and reach out for help whenever it is needed.
Six Ways pcb 88 Keeps You in Control
Every pcb 88 player in Bangladesh has free, instant access to the following responsible gaming features directly from their account settings. No waiting period , no extra fees — just straightforward tools that put you in charge of your own play.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your pcb 88 account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets — keeping your spending predictable and manageable.
Define a maximum session length — from 30 minutes to several hours. When your session timer expires, pcb 88 will automatically log you out and prompt you to take a break before returning.
Take a short break from gambling without permanently closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is suspended for that duration and reactivated automatically when the period ends.
Request a long-term self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. During the exclusion period, your account is fully blocked — you cannot log in, deposit, or bet. This cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires.
Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or won in the current session. These pop-up prompts help you make an informed decision about whether to continue or stop.
Our English-speaking support team is available around the clock — including on public holidays in Bangladesh such as Eid and Victory Day. If you feel gambling is becoming a problem, contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will act swiftly.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
pcb 88 was built with one core principle in mind: gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal harm. We serve players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Khulna, and Rajshahi — and we take our duty of care to every one of those players seriously.
We believe that a sustainable, enjoyable platform is one where players choose to return because they had a positive experience, not because they felt compelled to chase losses or recover debt. That is why responsible gaming is embedded into every layer of the pcb 88 platform — from account registration through to our game lobby design, bonus structures, and customer support training.
Our responsible gaming programme is built on four pillars:
- Prevention: Age verification at registration, spending limit tools, and reality checks prevent harmful patterns from developing in the first place.
- Awareness: Clear information about the odds of all games, transparent bonus terms, and regular responsible gaming communications help players make informed decisions.
- Intervention: Our support team is trained to identify signs of problem gambling and proactively reach out to players who may need assistance.
- Recovery: Self-exclusion tools and referrals to professional support organisations provide a clear, accessible pathway to recovery for players who need it.
Important Reminder: Gambling should never be used as a way to earn income, pay off debts, or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to recover losses or to fund daily expenses, please reach out to our support team or consult one of the organisations listed in the Support Organisations section of this page.
pcb 88 uses SSL encryption and secure account infrastructure to protect your data, and our responsible gaming tools are subject to the same high security standards. All limit requests and self-exclusion submissions are processed immediately and stored securely — they cannot be altered without proper authentication.
18+ Age Restriction Policy
pcb 88 is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. It is a criminal offence to allow a person under the age of 18 to gamble. If you are under 18, you must not register an account or use any part of this platform. We verify the age of every player and will close accounts where underage use is suspected or confirmed.
Age verification is a mandatory step at pcb 88. Every player must confirm they are 18 years of age or older at the point of registration. Before processing any withdrawal request, pcb 88 conducts a formal KYC (Know Your Customer) check that requires submission of a valid government-issued identity document — such as a Bangladesh National ID Card (NID) or passport — confirming the player's date of birth.
Any account found to belong to a person under 18 years of age will be immediately suspended, all balances will be forfeited, and the matter may be reported to the relevant authorities. pcb 88 reserves the right to request age verification documentation at any point during a player's lifecycle on the platform, not only at withdrawal.
Protecting Minors in Your Household: If you share a device with children or younger family members, we strongly recommend the following precautions:
- Never save your pcb 88 login credentials in your browser's autofill feature on a shared device.
- Always log out of your pcb 88 account after each session on a shared device.
- Consider enabling parental control or content filtering software on shared devices. Widely used options include Net Nanny, Qustodio, and the built-in parental controls available on Android and iOS devices.
- Keep your account username and password strictly private. Do not share them with any family member regardless of age.
Parental Controls: For guidance on setting up parental control software in Bangladesh, contact your mobile carrier (Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink, Teletalk) or internet service provider. Many offer family-safe browsing packages that can restrict access to gambling websites at the network level.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. The following questions are adapted from widely used screening tools. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team or one of the organisations listed in the support section below.
If you answered "yes" to three or more of the above questions, please do not wait. Contact our support team at [email protected] to request an immediate self-exclusion or a cooling-off period. You can also find professional help through the organisations listed in the Support Organisations section below. Taking action today can prevent serious long-term harm to your finances, relationships, and mental health.
Deposit & Spending Limits
Deposit limits are one of the most practical and effective responsible gaming tools available. At pcb 88, you can set a hard cap on how much you deposit via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, or Mastercard over a defined time period. Once that cap is reached, the payment system will decline any further deposit attempts until the period rolls over — regardless of whether you still have credit available in your mobile wallet.
pcb 88 offers three deposit limit intervals:
- Daily Limit: Maximum total deposits allowed within a 24-hour rolling window (midnight to midnight, Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).
- Weekly Limit: Maximum total deposits allowed within a 7-day period (Monday 00:00 BST to Sunday 23:59 BST).
- Monthly Limit: Maximum total deposits allowed within a calendar month (1st to last day of the month, BST).
How to set or update your deposit limit on pcb 88:
Tip: Financial counsellors recommend setting your monthly deposit limit to no more than 5% of your monthly income. Gambling should be a leisure activity with a fixed, affordable budget — similar to a cinema ticket or a meal out with friends.
Time-Out & Cooling-Off Periods
Sometimes you need a break — whether you have had a frustrating session, you feel your play is becoming too frequent, or you simply want to step away for a period and reassess. pcb 88's cooling-off feature lets you temporarily suspend your account without the permanence of a full self-exclusion.
Available cooling-off durations at pcb 88:
- 24 Hours: A short overnight reset. Your account is suspended from midnight BST and reinstated the following night.
- 48 Hours: A weekend break or mid-week pause to regain perspective.
- 7 Days: A one-week break recommended for players who notice their play frequency is increasing beyond their original intentions.
- 30 Days: A month-long pause that provides meaningful distance and time to reflect on your gambling habits with a clear head.
During a cooling-off period, your pcb 88 account is fully suspended. You will not be able to log in, deposit funds, place bets, or access the game lobby. Your existing balance is preserved and will be available to you when the cooling-off period expires. You will not receive any marketing communications from pcb 88 during the suspension period.
Cooling-off periods cannot be shortened once activated. This design is intentional — it protects you from making an impulsive decision to end your break during a moment of temptation. If you feel your cooling-off period is insufficient and you need longer-term protection, please contact [email protected] to request an upgrade to a full self-exclusion.
How to Activate a Cooling-Off Period: Log in to pcb 88, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Cooling-Off Period. Select your preferred duration and confirm. The suspension begins within minutes of your request being processed. You will receive an email confirmation to your registered address.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the strongest player-protection tool available at pcb 88. If you believe your gambling has reached a point where it is causing harm — or you simply want to take a definitive, long-term break — self-exclusion gives you a firm, enforceable barrier between yourself and the platform.
Available self-exclusion periods:
- 6 Months
- 1 Year
- 2 Years
- Permanent (Lifetime)
During self-exclusion, your account is permanently blocked for the chosen duration. All of the following are suspended:
- Login access
- Deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard
- Placing bets on any casino game, live dealer table, crash game, or cricket market
- Claiming bonuses or participating in tournaments
- Receiving promotional emails or SMS messages from pcb 88
Any remaining balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be held securely. You may request a withdrawal of your balance at any time during the exclusion period by emailing [email protected] — we will process eligible withdrawal requests to your verified payment method within the standard processing window.
Self-exclusion periods cannot be reversed or shortened. A request to lift a self-exclusion before its expiry date will not be honoured under any circumstances. This is a protective design feature, not a policy limitation — it exists to safeguard your wellbeing during a vulnerable period. After the exclusion period expires, a mandatory 7-day reflection window applies before your account can be reactivated, during which pcb 88 support will reach out to confirm you wish to return to play.
To request self-exclusion, you can either use the self-service tool in Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion, or email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Please include your registered username and your chosen exclusion duration in the email. Our team will confirm the exclusion is active within 24 hours.
