Our Philosophy

Betting Is Entertainment, Not an Obsession

At Cric88, we believe responsible gaming is not just a policy — it is part of our culture. Every day, millions of Bangladeshi users enjoy betting on cricket, football, and more on our platform. We want that enjoyment to never become a burden.

Responsible gaming means playing within your means, making clear-headed decisions, and not letting betting take over your life. Cric88 supports this mindset and is committed to helping every user build healthy betting habits.

Our Responsible Gaming program covers betting limits, time limits, self-exclusion, reality-check tools, and guidance to professional support when needed.

Keep in Mind

Before placing a bet, always ask yourself — would losing this money affect my daily life? If the answer is yes, don't place that bet. Only bet money you can afford to lose.

Many people in Bangladesh see Sports Betting as a quick way to make money. The reality, however, is that betting is primarily a form of entertainment — not a reliable source of income. At Cric88, we are continuously working to foster a culture of responsible gaming.

Cric88 provides a range of free tools and resources to help keep your betting experience positive at all times. You'll find everything you need on this page.

  • Learn to recognize the signs of betting addiction
  • Set your own betting limits
  • Don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it
  • Talk openly with family and friends about your betting

Protection Tools

Cric88's 6 core responsible gambling tools

These tools are completely free and can be activated anytime from your account settings.

Set Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately, while increasing one requires a 24-hour waiting period — so you don't make decisions in the heat of the moment.

Loss Limit

Betting stops automatically once you've lost a set amount. Define your financial loss limit — once that threshold is reached, no further bets can be placed.

Time limits & reminders

Set a daily time limit for how long you spend on the platform. Once that limit is reached, Cric88 will alert you and, if needed, automatically end your session.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a break? Temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this period, no bets can be placed and you won't receive any marketing messages.

Self-Exclusion

For a longer break, close your account for 6 months to 5 years — or permanently. Once self-exclusion is active, logging in will not be possible and no new account can be opened.

Betting History & Analysis

View your complete betting history for the last 30, 90, or 365 days — total spend, wins, and losses — anytime you want. Understand your patterns and stay informed.

Warning Signs

10 Warning Signs of Betting Addiction

If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help promptly.

Hiding or lying to family or friends about your betting.

03
Betting with bill or loan money

Tendency to bet with money meant for daily essentials or borrowed funds.

04
Neglecting Work or Studies

Being unable to focus on work, studies, or daily tasks because you can't stop thinking about betting.

05
Trying to stop but being unable to

Repeatedly trying to stop betting but being unable to — this is a significant warning sign.

06
Restlessness or irritability

Feeling restless, irritable, or down when you're unable to place a bet.

Practical Tips

How to build healthy betting habits

Stick to these simple habits and betting will always stay enjoyable.

Set a Monthly Budget

At the start of each month, decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend on betting. It should be a portion of your monthly entertainment budget — not your entire livelihood.

Play with an entertainment mindset

Think of betting like going to the movies or dining out — it's entertainment. A win is a bonus; a loss is the cost of the experience. Play with that mindset.

Never Bet Under the Influence or When Emotional

Avoid betting when you are drinking, angry, or feeling low. Making sound decisions in those states is difficult.

Take regular breaks

Take at least a 15-minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, drink some water, and rest your eyes from the screen. This helps you stay sharp and make better decisions.

Let Your Family Know

Don't keep your betting a secret from family. Being open creates accountability and reduces the risk of addiction.

Don't Chase Wins

Chasing losses or placing bigger bets after a few wins can be dangerous. Once you've reached your set budget for the day, stop betting.
