Betting is entertainment, not a habit you can't control. 98ab wants every player to enjoy the experience safely and within their limits. Your well-being is our top priority.
Responsible gambling means enjoying betting while staying in control of your time, money, and emotions. At 98ab, we believe betting should be a fun form of entertainment — but when it gets out of hand, it can have a serious impact on your personal and family life.
As online betting grows in popularity across Bangladesh, more people are finding themselves at risk. That's why 98ab has built responsible gaming tools and policies in from the start. We want you to enjoy the thrill of cricket, get caught up in the excitement of football — but always stay within your limits.
Responsible gaming rests on three pillars — awareness, control, and support. 98ab actively works on all three. Whether you're struggling yourself or you're concerned about someone you know, our support team is always here for you.
Responsible gaming isn't about stopping — it's about playing the right way, at the right pace, and actually enjoying it. 98ab is here to help you do exactly that.
We provide multiple technical and management tools to help keep you safe — all of them controllable directly from your account.
You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. If you hit that limit, the system will automatically block further deposits. Limits can be lowered at any time, but increasing them requires a 24-hour waiting period.
Decide in advance how long you want to play in a single session. Once that time is up, 98ab will prompt you to take a break. Keeping sessions short helps you stay clear-headed.
If you need a temporary break from betting, you can set a cooling-off period anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, your account will be locked and you won't be able to bet or make deposits.
If you feel your betting is getting out of control, you can use self-exclusion to close your account for anywhere from 6 months to permanently. It takes effect within 24 hours of your request, and you won't receive any promotional emails during that time.
You can view your full betting history, win/loss records, and detailed deposit and withdrawal activity at any time. Analyse your own habits and stay informed.
At regular intervals, 98ab will remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. These reminders are there to help you stay aware.
All of 98ab's responsible gambling tools can be activated directly from your account. No hassle, no waiting — just a few simple steps to keep yourself protected.

CustomAnswer the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to more than three, consider seeking professional support. Remember — asking for help isn't a sign of weakness; it takes courage.
Have you ever spent more time or money on betting than you planned?
Have you ever kept betting in an attempt to recover money you've lost?
Have you ever lied to family or friends about your betting?
Have you ever tried to cut back on betting but couldn't?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you're not betting?
Have you ever used money meant for daily expenses to place bets?
Has betting caused problems at work, in your studies, or in your relationships?
These questions are for self-assessment only. For a professional evaluation, please speak with a qualified specialist.
Budgeting is the most important step in responsible gambling. Before you start betting, decide on the maximum amount you're willing to spend on betting this month. That figure should only ever be money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
Once you've set your budget, apply it using 98ab's deposit limit feature. After the limit is in place, the system will automatically block any deposits that exceed it — reducing the risk of placing impulsive bets.
Keep your monthly betting budget to no more than 5% of your total income. This is a general guideline — less is better depending on your situation.
Always keep this in mind when betting on 98ab — it's entertainment, not an investment. Betting can make cricket or football matches more exciting, but no bet comes with a guaranteed win.
Managing expectations is a big part of responsible gambling. If you think of betting as a regular source of income, you're heading in the wrong direction. Even a large portion of professional bettors don't turn a profit over the long run — that's worth keeping in mind.
Set a time limit for your betting sessions before you start. Long sessions impair your judgment and increase the tendency to place irrational bets. Use 98ab's session time limit feature to build a balanced schedule that works for you.
Experts recommend keeping any single betting session under two hours. Take at least a 10-minute break every hour — get up, have some water, take a short walk, then decide whether you want to continue.
Responsible gambling means being accountable not just to yourself, but to your family as well. If betting starts affecting your relationships, your children's education, or your household's everyday needs, it's no longer entertainment — it's a problem.
Talk openly with your family about betting — they're on your side. Keeping it hidden only makes things worse; bringing it out in the open is where the solution starts.
If a family member suspects their loved one may have a problem with betting, please reach out to us at support@98ab.bet. We'll provide confidential support.
