Important Warning

Online gaming and betting is for players aged 18 and over only. Gaming is a form of entertainment — not a source of income. If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your life, seek help now.

What is Responsible Play

Responsible play means enjoying gaming in a way that has no harmful effect on your daily life, family relationships, or financial situation. At bha88, responsible play is not just a rule — it is the foundation of our platform.

We believe gaming is only genuinely enjoyable when it stays within your control. How much time and money you spend is entirely your decision — our goal is simply to make sure that decision is always a conscious and considered one.

Bha88's responsible gaming policy is built on three core pillars — awareness, control, and support. We want every player to be fully informed about all three and to have easy access to help whenever they need it.

Core principles of responsible play: Play for fun, not to chase winnings. Set a budget before each session and stick to it.

Warning Signs of Problem Gaming

Problem gaming or betting addiction often develops gradually. If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone close to you, it's important to take them seriously.

Financial Signs
  • Spending beyond your means
  • Chasing losses with more bets
  • Gaming with borrowed or loaned money
  • Betting after skipping bills and daily expenses
Behavioral Signs
  • Being unable to stop gaming
  • Hiding gaming activity from family or friends
  • Losing focus on work or studies
  • Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming
Emotional Signs
  • Thinking about gaming excessively
  • Feeling unusually upset or angry after a loss
  • Using gaming to relieve stress
  • Unable to find enjoyment without gaming
Social Signs
  • Spending less time with family
  • Withdrawing from your social circle
  • Lying about gaming
  • Strain on relationships

If you recognise three or more of these signs in yourself, please seek help right away. Our support team will assist you with complete confidentiality.

Our Responsible Gaming Tools

Bha88 offers a range of tools to help you stay in control of your gaming. All tools are completely free to use and can be activated anytime from your account settings.

💰

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block further transactions.

⏱️

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When the time is up, you'll be automatically logged out and prompted to take a break.

📊

Loss Limit

Set a loss limit so you cannot continue betting once you have lost a specified amount. This helps prevent further impulsive losses.

🌙

Cooling-Off Period

Take a mandatory break lasting anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or place any bets.

🔔

Reality Check

Get a reminder every 30, 60, or 90 minutes showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent in total.

🚫

Self-Exclusion

Lock your account for a fixed period of 6 months to 5 years. During this time, you will not be able to request to unblock it yourself.

Limit Details

The table below outlines the different types of limits, when they take effect, and the rules for making changes.

Limit Type Active Period Can be reduced Can Be Increased
Deposit Limit Immediate ✔ Now After 7 days
Loss Limit Immediate ✔ Now After 7 days
Session Time Limit Immediate ✔ Now After 24 hours
Cooling-Off Period Immediate Not Applicable After Expiry
Self-Exclusion (Short-Term) Immediate Not Applicable After Expiry
Self-Exclusion (Permanent) Immediate Not Applicable Non-Reversible
Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit is subject to a waiting period — this is by design to prevent impulsive decisions.

Self-Assessment Questionnaire

Ask yourself the questions below. If you answer "Yes" to three or more, please get in touch with us.

1
Have you ever spent more than your planned budget and regretted it afterwards?
2
Have you placed more bets to try to win back money you've lost?
3
Have family or friends expressed concern about your gaming habits?
4
Have you ever tried to stop gaming but found you couldn't?
5

6
Have you stayed up late gaming, sacrificing sleep or meals?
7
Have you ever borrowed money or been dishonest with others to fund your gaming?
8
Have you used gaming or betting to cope with stress or depression?
This questionnaire is intended only to raise awareness — it is not a professional medical diagnosis. Please consult a professional advisor if needed.

How to Self-Exclude

Self-exclusion is a feature that lets you request to have your own account suspended for a set period or permanently. During this time, you will not be able to log in or carry out any transactions.

1
Go to Account Settings After logging in, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Settings".
2
Open the "Responsible Gaming" tab In the Settings menu, look for the "Responsible Gaming" option.
3
Choose your self-exclusion type Choose the duration that works for you — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or a permanent exclusion.
4
Enter Confirmation Code For security, a OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number. Use it to confirm.
5
Self-Exclusion Will Be Activated Your account will be locked as soon as the code is confirmed, and you will receive an email confirmation.
Once permanent self-exclusion is activated, account recovery will no longer be possible. Please think carefully before proceeding, or speak with our support team first.

Practical Tips for Safe Gaming

Responsible play is more than just using tools — it is a mindset. Building the habits below will keep gaming enjoyable at all times.

What to do

  • Set a firm budget before you start playing and stick to it.
  • Think of gaming as entertainment — not just about winning.
  • Set a time limit for each session — for example, 1 hour.
  • Spend time with family or friends first — then game, not the other way around.
  • Take regular breaks — at least 10 minutes every hour.
  • Never game while under the influence of alcohol or sleep medication.
  • Save a portion of your winnings rather than placing it all back as a bet.
  • Review your gaming history and spending once a month.

What Not to Do

  • Don't chase your losses by placing more bets.
  • Do not game with borrowed money or funds that belong to someone else.
  • Avoid gaming late at night when you're tired.
  • Don't turn to betting as a way to relieve stress or anxiety.
  • Do not lie to family or friends about your gaming activity.
  • Avoid any single gaming session that runs longer than 3 hours.
Keep in mind: Winners always play to a plan. A true gamer is defined by strategy and discipline, not impulse.

Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions about responsible play.

Yes. Before self-exclusion is activated, you will be given the opportunity to withdraw any remaining balance in your account. For permanent self-exclusion, please contact the support team to complete the process.

The deposit limit applies to new deposits only. If you already have a balance in your account, you can continue betting with those funds — though still within the defined limits.

No. During the cooling-off period, only login and betting will be restricted. Your account, history, and balance remain fully secure. Once the period ends, you can resume using your account as normal.

Reach out to our support team first — they will assist you with full confidentiality. We also recommend speaking with a mental health professional or counselor. Letting a trusted family member know can make a significant difference as well.

When Reality Check is active, a popup will appear on screen at set intervals showing your total gaming time, total amount wagered, and win/loss summary. You will then be asked whether you'd like to continue or take a break.

You can notify our support team about the situation. We will review the account in question and take the necessary action. In the meantime, encourage the person with empathy to seek professional help.
