Responsible Gaming at ab998 — Stay in Control
ab998 believes gambling should always be enjoyable entertainment. We provide tools, guidance, and direct support to help every player in Bangladesh manage their activity safely.
Introduction
Gambling as Entertainment — Not a Source of Income
At ab998, we want every player across Bangladesh — from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Khulna, and Rajshahi — to enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and slots purely as leisure. Gambling carries real financial risk and for most players the long-term outcome is a net loss. Only ever bet amounts you are genuinely comfortable losing, and treat any winnings as a bonus rather than expected income.
ab998 provides a complete suite of responsible gaming tools accessible at any time through your account settings. If gambling stops being fun — or starts affecting your finances, relationships, or wellbeing — please use the tools described on this page or contact our support team immediately. Help is available around the clock, and there is no shame in asking for it.
Player Tools
Responsible Gaming Tools Available on ab998
Every registered ab998 player can access the following protection tools via their account settings panel or by contacting our support team at any time via live chat or by email.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on your deposits. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Session Reminders
Receive an on-screen alert after a chosen play duration reminding you how long you have been active in the current session.
Self-Exclusion
Suspend your ab998 account for 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. All marketing stops instantly upon activation.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic pop-ups showing your net session win or loss, so you always have an accurate picture of where you stand financially during play.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose within a set period. When the limit is reached the platform halts further wagering until the period resets.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. Login access is temporarily disabled for the duration with no option to cancel early.
Deposit Limits
How Deposit Limits Work at ab998
Deposit limits are among the most effective tools for managing your spending. You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap directly in your account settings at any time. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately — it cannot be overridden during an active session. Increasing a limit triggers a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before the higher cap applies, giving you time to reconsider impulsive decisions.
- Daily deposit limit: caps the total amount you can deposit within any rolling 24-hour window, preventing impulsive top-ups during a single session.
- Weekly deposit limit: a rolling 7-day cap that provides a broader financial boundary and helps you track spending across multiple sessions.
- Monthly deposit limit: a rolling 30-day cap suited for players who want long-term budget discipline without needing to monitor daily or weekly figures.
- To apply a limit, log in, go to Account Settings, and select Responsible Gaming. You can also email [email protected] and our team will apply it within one hour on your behalf.
Deposit limits work alongside your bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay payment method limits. Setting a platform-level deposit limit on ab998 is an additional, independent layer of financial control on top of any limits set by your mobile banking provider.
Self-Exclusion
Self-Exclusion: Taking a Full Break from ab998
If you feel gambling is becoming difficult to control, self-exclusion is the right step. During a self-exclusion period your ab998 account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. All promotional communications and bonus offers stop immediately. Available exclusion durations are 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and permanent. Follow these steps to apply:
Log in to your ab998 account — Open Account Settings and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section.
Select Self-Exclusion — Choose your preferred exclusion duration from the available options and confirm your selection to activate it immediately.
Exclusion takes immediate effect — Your account is locked, all active sessions are terminated, and all marketing emails and notifications are stopped at the moment of confirmation.
Need help activating it? — If you cannot access account settings, email [email protected] at any time. Our team will apply self-exclusion on your behalf within one hour, day or night.
Important: lifting a self-exclusion before the chosen period ends requires a written request to ab998 support and a mandatory 24-hour reflection period. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances. Players who have self-excluded are strongly encouraged to also install browser-level filtering software on all devices to block access to gambling websites during the exclusion period.
Warning Signs
Signs That Gambling May Be Becoming a Problem
Problem gambling develops gradually and is not always obvious. If several of the following warning signs apply to you or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use our self-exclusion tool and reach out to a professional support service:
Chasing losses — Placing further bets after losing in an attempt to win back what was lost, which typically leads to larger losses and escalating deposits.
Exceeding your own budget — Consistently depositing more than you planned before a session, or finding that gambling spending is replacing essential expenses like rent, food, or family needs.
Gambling to escape stress or problems — Using ab998 as a way to avoid dealing with anxiety, financial pressure, relationship difficulties, or work stress rather than as a form of entertainment.
Hiding gambling from family — Being secretive about how much time or money is spent on ab998, or feeling the need to lie to family members in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere about your gambling activity.
Neglecting responsibilities — Missing work shifts, neglecting family commitments, or failing to pay essential bills because of time or money spent gambling on ab998.
Age Restriction
Protecting Minors — Strictly 21+ Only
ab998 enforces a strict 21+ age policy and does not knowingly allow any person under 21 to register or use the platform. Age verification is required at registration and ab998 may request supporting documentation at any stage to confirm a player meets the minimum age requirement. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 will be closed immediately and all associated funds handled according to applicable law.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has opened an ab998 account using a shared device or family mobile banking credentials (for example a shared bKash-registered handset), please contact [email protected] immediately. To prevent underage access on shared devices, we recommend the following measures:
- Install parental control or website filtering software on any device that minors may access to block gambling and adult-content websites automatically.
- Keep your ab998 login credentials strictly private. Do not save your password in a shared browser profile or allow device auto-fill to store your ab998 password on a family handset.
- Log out of your ab998 account after every session, especially on shared or family mobile devices such as bKash-registered phones commonly used across households in Bangladesh.
