1. What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible Gaming means keeping gaming a fun and controlled part of your entertainment — without letting it negatively affect your finances, mental health, or family life. aq88 believes gaming is truly enjoyable only when it is played with awareness.

Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh, and it's easy to lose track of when casual fun turns into a harmful habit. That's why aq88 makes it a top priority to give players the right guidance from the very start.

Responsible Gaming rests on three core principles — Time control, money control, and emotional control. If these three principles are followed consistently, gaming will always remain an enjoyable experience.

 Keep in Mind

Gaming is entertainment — not a way to make money. Every game on aq88 is random and fair. There are no guaranteed wins, so only bet what you can afford to lose.

  • Never think of gaming as a way to solve financial problems.
  • Play with a clear and calm mind — avoid gaming when you are overly tired or under emotional stress.
  • Be cautious of the urge to place more bets in an attempt to recover lost funds.
  • Always put your family, friends, and personal responsibilities ahead of gaming.
  • Set your budget and time limit before you start playing, and stick to them.

2. Assess Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If three or more answers are "yes", it may be time to reflect on your gaming habits.

1

Have you ever spent more than your planned budget and regretted it afterward?

2

Do you ever feel the urge to play again just to win back money you have lost?

3

Have you ever tried to hide your gaming from family or friends?

4

Do you feel restless, irritable, or uncomfortable when you're not gaming?

5

Do you find yourself skipping sleep, meals, or work to make time for gaming?

6

Have you borrowed money or dipped into your savings to fund gaming?

7

Have you tried to stop gaming but failed repeatedly?

 Warning Signs

If you answered "yes" to three or more questions, please reach out to our support team or use the self-exclusion feature. aq88 is always here for you.

3. Early Signs of Gaming Addiction

Gaming addiction often develops gradually and can be hard to recognize on your own. aq88 wants every player to stay aware of these signs so they can take action before things get worse.

 Emotional Signs
  • Anxiety or Irritability When Not Playing
  • Constantly Thinking About Gaming
  • Excessive Anger or Frustration After Losses
 Behavioral Signs
  • Hiding Gaming from Family
  • Skipping Work or Studies to Play
  • Playing Beyond Your Intended Time
 Financial Signs
  • Taking on Debt for Gaming
  • Dipping into Savings or Essential Funds to Play
  • Chasing Losses with More Bets
 Social Signs
  • Neglecting Family and Friends
  • Withdrawing from Social Activities
  • Lying or Hiding the Truth About Gaming
 Important Message

If you notice these signs, don't be embarrassed — seek help. Gaming addiction is a recognized mental health condition and is fully treatable with the right support.

4. How to Set Gaming Limits

The aq88 platform offers several limit-setting tools to support responsible gaming. Use these features to keep your gaming experience safe and in your control.

💵
Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

📉
Loss Limit

Set a loss limit so your session ends automatically once you reach a defined loss threshold.

🎰
Bet Limits

Decide in advance the maximum amount you are willing to wager on any single bet.

⏰
Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how long you play in one session. You'll receive an alert when your time is up.

🌙
Cooling-Off Period

Temporarily suspend your account for a set period of time.

📊
Activity Review

View a detailed report of your gaming history and spending.

 Rules for Changing Limits

Limit decreases take effect immediately. Increasing a limit, however, requires a 24-hour waiting period — this is designed to prevent impulsive decisions.

5. Self-Exclusion Process

If you feel you need a break from gaming, use aq88's self-exclusion feature. This allows you to step away from the platform temporarily or for an extended period.

1
Contact Support

Contact our support team via live chat or email to request self-exclusion.

2
Select Your Break Duration

Choose from 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or permanent self-exclusion — whatever suits your needs.

3
Account Will Be Locked

Your account will be automatically locked for the chosen period — no deposits or logins will be possible during this time.

4
Support During Your Break

During your self-exclusion period, we share professional support information and resources should you need them.

5
Reactivation

Once the period ends, you can reactivate your account — however, this does not apply to permanent exclusion.

 Take Self-Exclusion Seriously

Do not attempt to continue gaming by opening a new account during a self-exclusion period. Doing so defeats the entire purpose of Responsible Gaming.

6. The Role of Family and Friends

If you believe someone close to you is struggling with a gaming problem, taking the right steps matters. In Bangladesh's family-oriented culture, loved ones can play the most effective role in helping.

  • Approach them with empathy and understanding rather than anger or judgment.
  • See gaming problems as a mental health issue, not a moral failing.
  • Encourage them to seek professional help and offer to go with them.
  • Before helping to clear debts, focus on addressing the root cause of the problem.
  • Pay attention to your own mental health too — a loved one's struggles can affect you as well.

8. Safe Gaming Tips

Responsible Gaming is not about giving up gaming — it is about enjoying it the right way. Follow these simple tips to keep gaming fun every time.

  • Set a budget before you start playing, and stop once you've reached that loss limit.
  • Take at least a 15-minute break every hour — get up, walk around, and drink some water.
  • Avoid gaming after 11 PM — poor sleep has a serious long-term impact on your health.
  • Never play under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
  • Don't make gaming your only hobby — make time for other interests and social activities.
  • Even when you're on a winning streak, don't get greedy — stop when you hit your limit.
  • Never put emergency funds or savings into your gaming account.
  • Review your gaming history regularly and keep track of your spending.
  • Treat wins as a matter of luck, not a result of strategy.
  • Share your gaming experiences openly with your loved ones — there is nothing to hide.
 What You Should Never Do

Don't chase losses by trying to recover lost money. Chasing losses is the most dangerous gaming behaviour and can lead to rapid financial ruin. Accept a loss and move on until the next day.
