Responsible Gaming – Safe & Healthy Betting at 8up

What 8up Has for You

We've built a set of Responsible Gaming tools that you can access and manage directly from your account.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount. Once set, increasing the limit requires a 24-hour wait — no room for impulsive top-ups.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you want to play. Once the time is up, the platform will automatically remind you or prompt you to take a break.

Cooling-Off Period

If you need a break, activate a cooling-off period for anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks. During this time you won't be able to log in — it's a fully protected pause.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your play is getting out of control, you can close your account — temporarily or permanently. Our support team is available around the clock to help.

Loss Limit

Decide in advance how much you're comfortable losing in a session. Once the limit is reached, the session ends automatically — keeping your finances protected.

Activity Review

Review your betting history, spending, and time patterns. Our transparent reports help you see at a glance whether your habits are healthy.

Betting at 8up is entertainment, not a burden. We want you to enjoy every moment and have our support whenever you need it.

01 What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible Gaming means treating betting and online gaming as a form of entertainment — not an addiction or a source of financial stress. It's about playing within your means, sticking to a set budget, and taking regular breaks.

8up has always believed that a great betting platform's responsibility goes beyond just providing a service — it also means looking out for its users' wellbeing. Hundreds of thousands of people in Bangladesh use 8up for fun and to unwind, but if it ever starts working against you, we're committed to being there for you.

Responsible betting doesn't mean betting less. It means playing with awareness, a clear plan, and genuine enjoyment.

02 Signs of Healthy Betting Habits

A simple way to check whether your betting habits are healthy is to ask yourself a few honest questions. If the following apply to you, you're on the right track:

Staying Within BudgetHealthy
Don't Chase LossesHealthy
Taking regular breaksHealthy
Telling Your FamilyHealthy
  • You decide in advance how much you're willing to spend.
  • You accept losses when they happen and don't rush to chase them.
  • Find joy and fulfilment in life beyond betting.
  • You haven't been spending less time with family and friends.
  • You don't bet with borrowed money or funds you can't afford to lose.

03 Setting Limits — How and Why?

You can set limits directly from your 8up account settings. It's your choice — we're simply here to make it easy.

Limit Type How It Works Time for a Change
Daily Deposit Limit A daily cap on how much you can deposit Can be decreased immediately; increasing takes 24 hours
Weekly Budget Limit Maximum total spending per week Can be decreased immediately; increasing takes 7 days
Session Time Limit Session time limits Effective immediately
Loss Limit Auto-stop after reaching a set loss amount Effective immediately
Cooling-Off Period Take a break from 1 day up to 6 weeks Effective immediately

Tip: At the start of each month, decide on your entertainment budget and set it as your deposit limit — so you have no regrets when the month ends.

04 What Are the Warning Signs?

Problem gambling can be hard to spot at first — it tends to creep up gradually. Watch out for these signs:

  • Chasing Losses: Thinking about placing larger bets after a loss.
  • Confidentiality: Hiding your betting from family or friends.
  • Betting with Borrowed Money: Betting with savings or borrowed money.
  • Sleep or Work Problems: Losing sleep over worries about betting.
  • Relationship Strain: Arguments with family over betting.
  • Loss of Control: Wanting to stop but being unable to.
  • Emotional Dependence: Unusually high highs when you win, and crushing lows when you lose.

If you recognize any of the above signs in yourself, don't wait — contact our support team or activate a cooling-off period. That's not weakness; it takes real courage.

05 Self-Assessment

If you can answer "Yes" to any of the questions below, check them off. If you check more than 5, consider reaching out for support.

I've spent beyond my budget and felt regret afterwards.
I've placed bigger bets after a loss to try to win back what I lost.
I have hidden my betting from family or friends.
I've used savings or money set aside for essential expenses to fund my betting.
I wanted to stop but couldn't.
Feeling restless or irritable when you're not betting.
Betting-related thoughts are affecting your sleep or ability to focus at work.

06 Self-Exclusion — How Does It Work?

If you feel you need a break, self-exclusion is the most effective step. Once activated, you won't be able to log in or receive any promotional messages.

How to Activate

  1. Log in to your account and go to "Settings".
  2. Click on the "Responsible Gaming" option.
  3. Select "Self-Exclusion".
  4. Choose a duration: 30 days / 6 months / 1 year / Permanent.
  5. Confirm. This will take effect immediately.

You can also request self-exclusion directly through our support team. We'll complete the process within 24 hours.

If you attempt to open a new account during your self-exclusion, we'll detect it and block it. We're genuinely committed to supporting your recovery.

07 The Role of Family & Friends

When someone is struggling with a betting addiction, family and friends can be their greatest source of support — but knowing how to help in the right way makes all the difference.

How to Help a Loved One

  • Talk Without Judgment: Express your concerns calmly, without anger or blame.
  • Gather Information: Learn about betting addiction so you can offer the right support.
  • Seek Professional Help: Encourage them to seek advice from a mental health professional.
  • Protect Your Finances: Consider setting limits or changing passwords on shared accounts.
  • Take Care of Yourself: While helping someone close to you, don't lose sight of your own wellbeing.

Family members are also welcome to contact the 8up support team. All inquiries are handled with complete confidentiality.

08 Frequently Asked Questions

No, setting limits is not mandatory. However, we strongly encourage it — it's entirely for your own protection.

Yes. Before your self-exclusion takes effect, you'll have the opportunity to withdraw any remaining balance in your account. Our support team will guide you through the process.

A cooling-off period is a temporary break — from 1 day up to 6 weeks. Once it ends, you'll automatically regain access. Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure — from 30 days up to permanent. Even after it expires, reactivating your account requires going through a review process.

Absolutely not. 8up strictly enforces an 18+ policy. Age is verified through KYC checks at registration, and any underage account identified is closed immediately.

Contact Us support@8up.wine Reach us by email or via the platform's live chat. All conversations are completely confidential and handled without judgment.

Yes. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit, however, requires a waiting period — 24 hours for daily limits and 7 days for weekly limits. This helps prevent impulsive decisions.
