Responsible Gaming at b8bat

Age Restriction — 21+ Only

b8bat strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players in Bangladesh. We do not allow any person under 21 years of age to register, deposit, or participate in any form of gambling on our platform. During the verification process, we may request government-issued identification such as a National ID card (NID) or passport to confirm your age.

If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a young person accessing gambling websites, we strongly recommend using parental control software to restrict access to gambling-related content on shared or family devices. If you suspect a minor is using your b8bat account, contact our support team at [email protected] immediately so we can take the necessary steps to investigate and protect both parties.

Self-Exclusion Programme

The b8bat self-exclusion programme allows you to voluntarily restrict your access to the platform for a defined period or permanently. This is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel their gambling habits are becoming difficult to manage. Self-exclusion options include:

• Short-term exclusion: 30, 60, or 90 days — ideal if you need a structured break without permanently closing your account.
• Medium-term exclusion: 6 or 12 months — suitable for players seeking a longer, more deliberate pause.
• Permanent exclusion: Close your account indefinitely — this action cannot be reversed without completing a formal review period.

To activate self-exclusion, log in to your b8bat account, navigate to the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings, and choose your preferred exclusion period. You may also request self-exclusion by emailing [email protected] — our team will process your request within 24 hours, Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).

Deposit Limits & Spending Controls

Setting deposit limits is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your gambling within a comfortable budget. b8bat allows you to configure a maximum deposit cap across three timeframes: daily (resets every 24 hours), weekly (resets every 7 days), or monthly (resets every 30 days). Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a mandatory cooling-off period of 7 days — this prevents impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

To set or adjust your deposit limits, go to the Account Settings page after logging in and select 'Deposit Limits' under the Responsible Gaming tab. Any reduction in your limit takes effect immediately; any increase will only apply after the mandatory review period has elapsed. We recommend reviewing your limits every three months to ensure they continue to reflect your financial situation accurately.

Time-Out & Cooling-Off Periods

A time-out is a short-term pause on your b8bat account — shorter than a full self-exclusion but designed to give you space to reflect. You can set a time-out of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days at any time without needing to contact support. During a time-out, you will be unable to log in, place bets, or make deposits. Any pending withdrawals will still be processed normally during this period.

The cooling-off period is especially useful during high-stakes sporting events such as the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League), IPL, ICC T20 World Cup, or major football tournaments, when the temptation to place larger or more frequent bets may increase. If you find yourself betting more during these events than you had planned, activating a time-out is a fast and effective step you can take immediately.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and often goes unrecognised until it has already had a significant impact on a person's life. Understanding the early warning signs is the first step towards getting help. Common indicators that gambling may be becoming a problem include:

• Spending more money than you can afford to lose, or chasing losses by placing higher bets to recover what was lost.
• Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities in order to spend more time gambling.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when attempting to cut down or stop gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity.
• Hiding gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues out of guilt or shame.

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please do not wait. Reach out to our support team at [email protected] or use one of the independent organisations listed below. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and early intervention makes recovery significantly easier.
