Betting is entertainment, not an addiction. Play responsibly on AQ88 to protect your financial and mental well-being. We're always here for you.
Our Commitment
At AQ88, we believe betting should be a source of enjoyment — never stress or financial hardship. Responsible gaming means you decide how much you play, how much you spend, and when to take a break.
Statistics show that most people enjoy betting as a form of entertainment. However, for a small number, it can develop into an addiction. AQ88 has put multiple safeguards in place to reduce that risk — all of which you can activate at any time.
The first step in responsible gaming is knowing your own limits. If you feel that betting is affecting your daily life, talk to our support team. We're here to help, not to judge.
AQ88's responsible gaming team is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Protection tools
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Limits take effect immediately once set. A 24-hour cooling period applies if you wish to raise your limit.
Decide how long you'll play before each session begins. When your time is up, AQ88 will send you an automatic notification. This is one of the most effective tools for responsible gaming.
If you feel like you need a break, activate a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During this time, no bets can be placed from your account.
If you need a longer break, you can exclude yourself for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Opening a new account during an active self-exclusion period is not permitted.
If you'd rather not receive promotional emails, SMS, or push notifications, you can opt out at any time from your Account Settings. Responsible gaming means staying in control of your own choices.
For any concerns, speak confidentially with our responsible gaming team. Your identity and personal information will be fully protected.
Limit management
The most practical step in responsible gaming is setting limits in advance. AQ88 makes this simple — just head to the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account panel and set all your limits in a few clicks.
Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. However, if you want to increase a limit, AQ88 automatically applies a 24-hour waiting period — this helps prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.
Keep in mind: betting with your winnings means you're putting that money back at risk. Responsible gaming means always keeping a separate budget.

Healthy Habits
Never bet with money set aside for essential expenses. Keep a separate betting budget — one you can afford to lose without affecting your day-to-day life.
Don't think of betting as a source of income. It's entertainment — just like watching a movie or dining out.
Decide in advance how long you'll play each day and stick to it strictly. Use a session timer to stay on track.
Placing more bets immediately to recover losses — that's "chasing losses," and it's the opposite of responsible gaming.
Avoid betting when you're angry, sad, or under stress. It's hard to make clear-headed decisions when emotions are running high.
Don't hide your betting habits from your family. Transparency is an important sign of responsible gaming.
Review your account's betting history regularly. It's an important habit for responsible gaming.
Lock in your winnings on a good day. The "just one more win" mindset is what turns a winning session into a losing one.
If something feels off, reach out to the AQ88 support team or a professional counselor right away.
Ask Yourself
Honest self-assessment is a key part of responsible gaming. Read through the questions below. If you answer "yes" to two or more, please reach out to our support team.
Do you find yourself going over your set budget and regretting it afterward?
Do you chase losses by placing bigger bets to win back what you've lost?
Are you finding it hard to focus on work or family because you can't stop thinking about betting?
Are you hiding your betting from family or friends?
Have you tried to cut back or stop betting but couldn't?
Have you ever borrowed money or dipped into emergency funds to bet?

Responsible Gaming refers to a mindset and set of habits that keep betting within the bounds of entertainment and protect you from personal, financial, and social harm. AQ88 believes every player has the right to set their own limits — and supporting you in doing so is our responsibility.
As online betting continues to grow in popularity across Bangladesh, responsible gaming has never been more important. Interest among younger audiences is rising, and having the right guidance in place is essential. At AQ88, responsible gaming isn't just a policy — it's part of who we are.
Research shows that people who set limits in advance enjoy betting more over the long run and are less likely to face financial difficulties. Responsible gaming doesn't mean less fun — it means making sure the fun lasts.
You can activate responsible gaming tools as soon as you join AQ88. After registering, go to Account Settings and look for the "Responsible Gaming" section.
AQ88 is firmly committed to keeping under-18s away from betting. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and any account that raises suspicion is suspended immediately.
If you have children or teenagers at home, we recommend installing parental control software on your devices. Also make sure your login credentials are secure and always log out of your account when you're done.
Betting addiction is a mental health condition, not a personal weakness. It can affect anyone, and with the right support at the right time, full recovery is possible. Recognizing the early signs of addiction is a key part of responsible gaming.
Some common warning signs: betting more but enjoying it less; intense anger or frustration after a loss; failing to cut back despite trying; disrupted sleep, eating, or work routines; withdrawing from family and friends; mounting debt.
If you notice these signs, don't try to handle it alone — seek professional help. AQ88's support team can refer you to a qualified counselor. We take this aspect of responsible gaming very seriously.
Remember: asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. AQ88 is always here to support you — no judgment, ever.
Financial planning is the most practical aspect of responsible gaming. Before you start betting at AQ88, ask yourself: What's the most I can spend on betting this month? Can I keep up with my expenses if I lose this amount? Will I be able to stop once my budget runs out?
One practical approach is to set an "entertainment budget." After accounting for savings, bills, and essential expenses each month, allocate a fixed portion of whatever remains for betting. Once that amount is gone, no more betting for the rest of the month.
For any concerns, reach out to our responsible gaming team.
