Safe & Responsible Betting

q888 Responsible Gambling —
Your safety is our priority

Enjoy the fun within your limits — q888 is committed to giving you all the tools and information you need to bet safely and responsibly.

Our commitment — gambling should be enjoyable

When enjoyed responsibly, online betting can be an entertaining experience. However, for some people it can become a problem. q888 believes that the safety and wellbeing of every player is of the highest importance.

As a safe and trustworthy platform, we want to ensure that all our players can gamble consciously and responsibly. On this page you will find detailed information about various protective tools, warning signs, and pathways to support.

The purpose of playing on q888 should be enjoyment and entertainment — never as a sole means of earning money. Always treat betting as entertainment and stay within your means.

21+

Age Restriction

q888 is for people aged 21 and above only. Minors are strictly prohibited from opening an account or placing bets. If any younger members of your household are around, keep them away from access to your account.

Our Protective Tools

q888 provides several tools to help you stay in control of your gambling.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum limit on your daily, weekly, or monthly deposits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. A set waiting period applies before you can increase a limit, to prevent impulsive decisions.

Time-Out

Temporarily deactivate your account for a set period (such as 24 hours, 1 week, or 1 month). During this time you will not be able to bet or deposit — it is an easy way to take a short break.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that betting is negatively affecting your life, opt for long-term self-exclusion. Options range from 6 months to a permanent ban. Reactivating your account under this option is made deliberately difficult to keep you safe.

Activity History Review

View your deposit, withdrawal, and betting history at any time. Reviewing your own spending patterns is an important part of responsible behaviour. q888 keeps fully transparent transaction records.

24/7 Support

For any questions or concerns about responsible gambling, contact q888 via live chat or email. Our support team is available around the clock in both Bengali and English.

Minor Protection

Use parental control software on your device and keep your login details private. Stay alert to ensure that younger members of your household cannot access betting sites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you notice the following signs in yourself or someone close to you, it is time to seek help.

Betting more to chase losses

Repeatedly placing larger bets to recover losses is the start of a dangerous cycle.

Spending beyond your means

Taking money meant for household expenses, rent, or debt repayment to use for betting.

Lying about betting

Hiding the amount you play or the money involved from family or friends is an important warning sign.

Unable to stop

Wanting to stop betting but repeatedly failing to do so — a clear sign of psychological dependence.

Impact on work or relationships

Neglecting your career, family, or social life to prioritise betting.

Borrowing money to bet

Borrowing money from others or taking out online loans to fund betting.

Tips for Responsible Play

Follow the advice below to build healthy betting habits.

1

Set a budget: Decide on a separate monthly budget for betting that you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

2

Set a time limit: Decide how much time you will spend on betting each day and stick to it strictly.

3

Treat it as entertainment: Think of betting as entertainment, not a source of income. There is no guarantee of winning any bet.

4

Do not bet under the influence or in an emotional state: Avoid betting while under the influence of alcohol or other substances, or when you are feeling overly emotional.

5

Take regular breaks: Avoid playing for long stretches without stopping. Take at least one break every hour and focus on other activities.

6

Tell someone close to you: Let a trusted family member know about your betting habits so they can alert you if needed.

Yes. Any balance remaining in your account at the time you activate self-exclusion can be withdrawn in accordance with the applicable rules. Contact our support team for more details.

A time-out is a temporary break — typically from 24 hours up to 30 days. Once the period ends, your account is reactivated automatically. Self-exclusion is longer-term — ranging from 6 months to a permanent ban. Reactivating an account after self-exclusion requires more time and a formal process.

Start by speaking with them calmly and expressing your concern. Encourage them to contact q888's self-exclusion option or the support team. If needed, seek advice from a professional mental health specialist. Remember, betting addiction is a treatable condition.

q888 is for people aged 21 and above only. Age is verified when an account is opened. Minors are strictly prohibited from accessing the betting platform.
