Important Notice

Gaming is entertainment — not a source of income. Only play with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your life. as8 is strictly off-limits for anyone under 18.

1. What is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

At as8, we are more than just a gaming platform — we feel a genuine responsibility for the overall well-being of every player. Responsible gaming means playing with a mindset where you always stay in control, have fun, and enjoy the experience without any harm.

Millions of people in Bangladesh look for entertainment online every day. as8 is committed to keeping that experience safe and healthy. We offer a range of tools and features to support responsible gaming, so you always stay in control of your own decisions.

When gaming shifts from enjoyment to compulsion, that is when problems begin. as8 wants every user to play with a smile, know when to stop, and feel comfortable asking for help when needed. This page is here to give you that awareness.

Responsible gaming does not mean playing less — it means playing with the right mindset. Enjoy the entertainment, but always stay aware of your limits.

2. Warning Signs — When to Take Notice

We do not always notice when our gaming habits start heading in the wrong direction. Read through the signs below carefully. If any of them apply to you or someone you know, it is time to take action now.

Chasing losses with bigger bets

Repeatedly placing larger bets to chase losses is a dangerous cycle.

Hiding from family or friends

Hiding your gaming or lying about it is a clear sign of psychological dependency.

Skipping sleep or meals to keep playing

Prioritizing gaming over the basic needs of daily life.

Spending beyond your budget

Stop immediately if you go over your set budget or find yourself gaming with borrowed money.

Neglecting work or studies

If gaming is causing you to neglect professional or academic responsibilities, take it as a warning sign.

Restlessness or irritability when not playing

Feeling mentally restless when you cannot game is a sign of dependency.

Healthy Gaming Behavior

Playing within a set time and budget, staying calm when you lose, and treating gaming purely as entertainment — that is what responsible gaming looks like.

3. Self-Assessment Test

Answer the questions below honestly. If more than 3 answers are "Yes", please speak with our support team or consider self-exclusion.

How well do you know yourself?

1 Have you spent more than your set gaming budget in the past month?
2 Do you feel irritable or uncomfortable when you cannot game?
3 Do you find yourself placing bigger and bigger bets trying to win back money you've lost?
4 Are you hiding your gaming or gaming expenses from family or friends?
5 Is gaming getting in the way of your work, studies, or family responsibilities?
6 Have you tried to cut back on gaming but found yourself unable to?
7 Are you continuing to game at the expense of sleep, meals, or your health?

Result: 0–2 "Yes" — Normal. 3–4 "Yes" — Be mindful and set some limits. 5 or more "Yes" — Use support or self-exclusion right away.

4. Setting Limits — Stay in Control

On the as8 platform, you can set various limits entirely on your own terms. These features help you stay in control of your gaming at all times.

1
Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. To increase a limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies — this protects you from making decisions driven by emotion.

2
Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how long you play in a single session. Once the time is up, you will receive an automatic notification. Staying aware of your time is one of the most effective tools for responsible gaming.

3
Loss Limit

Set a maximum amount in BDT you are willing to lose within a given period. Once you hit that limit, gaming will be unavailable for that period. This is the most practical way to keep financial losses in check.

4
Reality Check

You will receive automatic notifications at set intervals reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These small check-ins can make a big difference.

To set or change your limits, go to your profile settings or get in touch with the support team.

5. Self-Exclusion — When Taking a Break is the Best Choice

Sometimes setting limits is not enough — you may need a longer break. as8's self-exclusion feature gives you exactly that. It is not a sign of weakness; it is a brave and responsible step.

Self-Exclusion Types:

Temporary Break

Account temporarily suspended from 1 day up to 6 weeks.

Extended Break

Account deactivated from 6 months up to 5 years.

Permanent Closure

There is also an option to permanently close your account.

During self-exclusion, you will not receive any promotional offers or gaming-related communications. To activate self-exclusion, contact the support team or use the option directly from your account settings.

Once self-exclusion is active, it cannot be cancelled before the set period ends — this is intentional by design.

6. Budget Planning — Spend Smart

The most important part of responsible gaming is having a solid budget plan. Deciding in advance how much you will spend on gaming can protect you from serious financial trouble.

Smart budgeting rules:

  • Set a monthly entertainment budget: Spend no more than 5% of your total income on gaming.
  • Cover essential expenses first: After covering rent, groceries, and utility bills, allocate a fixed portion of what remains for gaming.
  • Keep an emergency fund separate: Never use savings or emergency funds for gaming.
  • Never play with borrowed money: Gaming with borrowed money is a fast track to financial disaster.
  • Withdraw your winnings: After a win, withdraw those funds instead of putting them back into bets.
  • Do a monthly review: Track how much you have spent and how much you have won — and judge for yourself.
Right Mindset

"It's just entertainment — like buying a movie ticket."

Wrong Mindset

"One more win and I'll make back everything I've lost."
