Responsible Gaming at 87db

87db operates a strict minimum age policy of 18 years for all players, without exception. 18+ This is not simply a regulatory formality — it is a core commitment to protecting young people in Bangladesh from the harms associated with underage gambling.

Every person who creates an account on 87db is required to declare their date of birth at registration. This declaration is subject to verification — 87db reserves the right to request supporting identity documents at any time, including a national identity card (NID), birth certificate, or passport. Accounts that cannot confirm the 18+ age requirement will be suspended pending verification and permanently closed if verification fails.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a minor in your household has accessed or registered on the 87db platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). We treat all such reports as priority cases and will investigate and act without delay.

Online gambling — whether it is cricket betting, live casino games, slots, or instant games like Royal Fishing and Monster Dice — is a form of paid entertainment. The outcomes of all games on 87db are determined by certified random number generators or live dealer mechanics; no strategy, system, or pattern guarantees a win.

It is important to understand the following facts before and during any gambling session on 87db:

• The house has a mathematical edge in all casino games. Over a large number of rounds, the platform is statistically expected to retain a percentage of all wagers placed. This is known as the Return to Player (RTP) or house edge and is a built-in property of every game.
• Past results do not predict future outcomes. Each game round, bet, or spin is an independent event. A long losing streak does not make a win "due", and a winning run does not indicate a pattern that will continue.
• Chasing losses is one of the most common pathways to problem gambling. If you find yourself increasing bet sizes or depositing additional funds specifically to recover money you have already lost, this is a significant warning sign and you should stop playing immediately.
• Gambling should never be a source of income. Treat every amount you deposit into your 87db account as entertainment expenditure — money you are comfortable losing entirely. Never gamble with money allocated for rent, food, education, household bills, or family obligations.
• Alcohol and emotional distress impair judgement. Avoid gambling when you are under the influence of alcohol or when you are stressed, upset, or going through a difficult period. Emotional states that reduce rational decision-making significantly increase gambling risk.

87db provides a comprehensive suite of player protection tools that can be accessed directly from your account settings dashboard. These tools are available to every registered player at no cost and can be activated at any time. 87db encourages all players to explore these settings proactively — not only in response to a problem, but as a matter of good practice from the very first session.

The following tools are currently available within the 87db responsible gaming controls panel:

Tool	What It Does	Takes Effect
Deposit Limit	Caps the total BDT (৳) you can deposit per day, week, or month	Immediately when set or lowered; 24-hour delay when raised
Loss Limit	Stops further bets once your net losses reach a defined BDT threshold in a period	Immediately when set or lowered; 24-hour delay when raised
Session Time Reminder	Sends an in-platform alert when you have been playing continuously for your chosen duration	Immediately on activation
Time-Out / Cool-Off	Suspends your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days — no login, no deposits	Immediately; cannot be shortened once activated
Self-Exclusion	Closes your account for 30 days, 90 days, 365 days, or indefinitely	Immediately; duration cannot be reduced during the active exclusion
Reality Check	Displays a summary of your session duration and net wagering result at regular intervals you define	Immediately on activation

To access these tools, log in to your 87db account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming. If you experience any difficulty locating or activating a tool, contact [email protected] and a team member will assist you directly.

Setting a deposit limit is the single most practical step you can take to ensure your gambling remains within a budget you can afford. 87db's deposit limit system allows you to specify the maximum amount in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) that can be added to your account within any rolling period — daily, weekly, or monthly.

How Deposit Limits Work on 87db:

• You may set a daily limit (resets every 24 hours from the time you set it), a weekly limit (resets every 7 days), or a monthly limit (resets on the same date each calendar month).
• Multiple limit types can be active simultaneously — for example, a ৳2,000 daily limit alongside a ৳10,000 monthly cap.
• If you attempt a deposit that would exceed your active limit, the deposit will be declined and you will be notified of the remaining allowance in your current period.
• Lowering a limit or setting a new, more restrictive limit takes effect immediately.
• Raising a limit or removing a limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period and requires confirmation via your registered mobile number.

Loss Limits work on a similar principle but track your net losses — the difference between your deposits and your cashable balance — rather than the raw deposit amount. Once your net loss in a given period reaches your defined threshold, 87db will prevent further wagers from being placed on your account until the limit period resets. Like deposit limits, loss limits are lowered immediately and raised only after a 24-hour delay.

Both limit types are displayed clearly in your account dashboard so you can monitor your usage in real time. 87db strongly recommends setting both a deposit limit and a loss limit before your very first session, treating the exercise the same way you would set a budget before a night out in Dhaka or a shopping trip in Chittagong.

Self-exclusion is the strongest player-protection tool available on the 87db platform. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is immediately locked — you cannot log in, place bets, make deposits, or receive promotional communications for the entire duration of the exclusion period. It is a deliberate, enforceable commitment to stop gambling on 87db for a defined length of time.

Self-exclusion is the right choice if you feel that gambling is no longer under your control, if it is causing you financial or emotional distress, or if you simply want a significant break to reassess your relationship with online gambling. You do not need to justify your decision or wait for approval — exclusion takes effect the moment you confirm it.

Problem gambling rarely develops overnight. It typically emerges gradually, through a series of small behavioural shifts that can be easy to overlook or rationalise in the moment. The following list of warning signs is drawn from widely recognised responsible gaming frameworks. If several of these apply to you — or to someone you know — it is a strong signal that professional support should be sought.

• You spend more time or money gambling than you originally intended, and find it difficult to stop once you have started a session.
• You return to gambling specifically to win back money you have lost — a behaviour commonly known as "chasing losses".
• You conceal your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues, or feel shame or guilt about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Gambling is affecting your ability to meet financial obligations — including rent, household bills, mobile recharge, or daily essentials in Dhaka or elsewhere in Bangladesh.
• You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or used funds intended for other essential purposes in order to fund gambling deposits.
• You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are unable to gamble, or when you think about stopping gambling.
• Gambling has become a primary way of escaping stress, loneliness, depression, grief, or other emotional difficulties.
• You have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down, control, or stop gambling on your own.
• Important personal relationships, career opportunities, or educational progress have been damaged or threatened because of your gambling habits.
• You think about gambling frequently throughout the day — planning your next session, reliving past sessions, or calculating how to fund future deposits.

If gambling is becoming a problem for you or someone close to you, the most important step is to reach out. Problem gambling is a recognised psychological condition — not a character flaw or a sign of weakness — and effective support is available. You do not need to be in crisis to ask for help; any point of concern is a valid reason to start a conversation.

Contacting 87db Support: Our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in English. You can reach us via the in-platform live chat or by emailing [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). If you tell us you are concerned about your gambling, we will:

• Activate self-exclusion or a time-out on your account immediately upon your request.
• Help you review and tighten your deposit and loss limits.
• Provide you with information about responsible gaming resources relevant to players in Bangladesh.
• Treat your conversation with complete confidentiality — your account status will not be negatively affected by reaching out for help.

External Support Resources: In Bangladesh, awareness of problem gambling support services is growing. If you feel you need professional counselling or peer support beyond what the 87db platform can offer, we encourage you to speak with a licensed mental health professional, a trusted community or religious leader, or a primary healthcare provider in your city — whether you are in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, or Mymensingh. A general practitioner can refer you to appropriate counselling services in your area.

Talking to Someone You Trust: Sometimes the most effective first step is simply telling a family member or close friend that gambling has become a concern. Social support plays a significant role in recovery outcomes. Eid gatherings, family conversations, or a quiet moment with a trusted person can be the starting point for meaningful change.

87db is an adults-only platform. 18+ However, we recognise that in many Bangladeshi households, mobile devices and desktop computers are shared between adults and younger family members. Parents and guardians have an important role to play in ensuring that children and teenagers cannot access online gambling platforms — including 87db — on shared devices.

The following practical steps can significantly reduce the risk of underage access to gambling content in your home:

• Use device parental controls. Both Android and iOS devices offer built-in parental control features that allow guardians to restrict access to specific websites or categories of content. On Android, check the Google Family Link application. On iOS, use Screen Time settings under General in the Settings app.
• Set up website filtering on your home Wi-Fi router. Many home routers in Bangladesh support content filtering that blocks adult or gambling content at the network level — meaning the restriction applies to all devices connected to that Wi-Fi, regardless of individual device settings.
• Keep personal gambling accounts private. Do not share your 87db login credentials with anyone, including family members. Log out after every session on shared devices and do not save your username or password in the browser on shared hardware.
• Talk openly about gambling risks. Age-appropriate, honest conversations with teenagers about how gambling works — including the mathematical reality of the house edge and the risks of addictive behaviour — are among the most effective long-term protective factors against problem gambling in young adults.
• Contact 87db immediately if you suspect underage access. Email [email protected] with details of the concern. We will investigate and act on all reports as a priority matter.

87db's internal systems also carry out ongoing monitoring to detect behavioural patterns consistent with underage use — such as unusual session patterns, identity inconsistencies, and payment method anomalies. Any account triggering these indicators is flagged for manual review by the 87db compliance team, with age verification requested immediately.
