Why Responsible Gaming Matters to 8upb

8upb is more than a betting platform — we are a community of sports fans and gaming enthusiasts across Bangladesh. That community is only healthy when every member feels safe. Responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox for us; it is a core part of how 8upb operates every single day.

Strict 21+ Policy
8upb enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all players. Every new account undergoes age and identity verification before deposits or wagers are permitted. Underage gambling is strictly prohibited on this platform.
Deposit Limit Controls
Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on their 8upb accounts. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately for reductions and within 24 hours for increases, ensuring you always play within your means.
Session Time-Out
Use 8upb's session time-out feature to take a short break from the platform. Time-outs can be set for periods ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks, giving you breathing room whenever you feel you need it.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is having a serious negative impact on your life, 8upb's self-exclusion tool allows you to block your own access to the platform for a minimum of 6 months. Self-exclusion is processed confidentially and takes effect within 24 hours.
Loss Limit Settings
Beyond deposit limits, 8upb lets you set a maximum loss threshold for a given time period. Once your loss limit is reached, all betting activity is paused until the period resets, preventing impulsive attempts to chase losses.
Dedicated Support Team
Our responsible gaming support team is available around the clock. If you or someone you care about needs to speak to a real person about gambling-related concerns, reach out to [email protected] at any time — all communications are handled with full confidentiality.
21+
Strictly for Adults Aged 21 and Above
Gambling is a leisure activity intended solely for adults. 8upb requires all players to be at least 21 years of age. We use identity verification technology to confirm age at registration and reserve the right to request additional proof of age at any point. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be permanently closed, all funds voided, and the matter reported as required under applicable regulations. If you share a device with a younger person, please use parental control software to restrict access to betting platforms including 8upb.io.
Parental control tools such as GamBlock and Betfilter can block access to betting sites at the device level. We strongly recommend using them in shared-device households.
Player Protection Tools

Take Control With 8upb's Built-In Safeguards

Every 8upb account comes equipped with a full suite of responsible gaming tools accessible directly from your account settings. Here is a detailed breakdown of what each tool does and how to activate it.

Deposit Limits
Account Settings → Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount across three time windows. This is the most effective first step for keeping your gambling spend within a comfortable budget.

  • Daily deposit limit (resets every 24 hours)
  • Weekly deposit limit (resets every Monday)
  • Monthly deposit limit (resets on the 1st)
  • Reductions take effect immediately
  • Increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period
Loss Limits
Account Settings → Limits

A loss limit caps the maximum amount you can lose within a set time period. Once the threshold is hit, your betting access is paused until the period renews.

  • Set in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) or crypto equivalent
  • Daily, weekly, and monthly options available
  • Prevents loss-chasing behaviour automatically
  • Can be decreased at any time with instant effect
  • Increases are subject to a 24-hour review period
Session Time-Out
Account Settings → Time-Out

A time-out temporarily suspends your access to the 8upb platform without permanently closing your account. Use it when you need a short break to reassess your play.

  • Available durations: 24 hours, 72 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks
  • Takes effect immediately upon confirmation
  • Cannot be reversed or shortened during the active period
  • All pending withdrawals continue to be processed normally
Self-Exclusion
Account Settings → Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a serious, binding commitment to take an extended break from gambling. 8upb will block your account and ensure you cannot re-register during the exclusion period.

  • Minimum exclusion period: 6 months
  • Extended options: 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, permanent
  • Takes effect within 24 hours of request
  • Marketing communications are suspended immediately
  • Cannot be reversed during the active exclusion period
  • Available balance can be withdrawn during processing
Reality Checks
Account Settings → Notifications

Reality check notifications remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the current session. These periodic pop-up alerts appear directly within the game interface.

  • Set reminder intervals from 15 minutes to 2 hours
  • Displays total session time and net win/loss
  • Option to end session directly from the notification
  • Especially useful during extended live casino sessions
Account Closure
Contact [email protected]

If you wish to permanently close your 8upb account, our support team can process this request at any time. Permanent closure is different from self-exclusion — your data is retained in line with our Privacy Policy but the account cannot be reopened.

  • Available balance will be returned via your original payment method
  • Process typically completes within 48 hours
  • Contact [email protected] to initiate
  • No questions asked — your wellbeing is the priority
Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. The following behaviours are commonly associated with gambling that has moved beyond healthy entertainment. If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, we strongly encourage you to reach out for support.

Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or resolve financial problems. If you are betting to recover debts or cover living expenses, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
If you have been playing for an extended session without tracking the time, activate 8upb's Reality Check feature in your account settings to receive regular session reminders.

Our Principles

Gambling Should Always Be These Things

Entertainment First
Gambling at 8upb should be fun, exciting, and light-hearted — like watching the BPL with friends. The moment it stops being enjoyable, it is time to take a break.
Within Your Budget
Only ever bet money you can genuinely afford to lose. Set a personal budget before you start and treat any losses as the cost of entertainment — never as a debt to recover.
Time-Limited
Decide in advance how long you will play and stick to it. Use 8upb's session reminders and time-out features to keep your play sessions to a healthy, manageable length.
A Balanced Lifestyle
Gambling is one leisure activity among many. Make sure it sits alongside — not instead of — time with family, friends, sport, and other hobbies. A balanced life makes it far easier to keep gambling in its proper place.
