How We Keep You Safe

98vip's Active Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Setting a Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Limits can be increased, but the change only applies after 24 hours.

Self-Exclusion Option

When you feel like you need a break, activate self-exclusion. Choose a period anywhere from 7 days to 5 years. During this time, you won't be able to log in to your account and will receive no marketing communications.

Session Time Limits & Reminders

Set an automatic logout after a specified time. You'll receive break reminders during play and can view real-time data on how much time and money you've spent.

Age Verification System

Age is verified at registration. If anyone under 18 creates an account by mistake, they will be flagged during KYC verification and their account will be immediately closed.

AI-Powered Behaviour Monitoring

Our AI system detects unusual playing patterns. If a user's behavior appears problematic, they are alerted and our support team follows up.

Reality Check

98vip never presents betting as a way to earn money. The house edge for every game is displayed transparently, and winning odds are shown honestly.

The Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming
Play for fun only

Don't think of betting as a source of income. It's entertainment, not a profession.

Set Your Budget First

Decide in advance how much you're willing to spend each session — and stick to it.

Learn to Accept Losses

Don't chase losses by placing bigger bets — it's the most common and costly mistake you can make.

Never Bet with Borrowed Money

Never bet with borrowed money or funds set aside for essential expenses.

Take Regular Breaks

Avoid playing for long stretches without a break. Step away regularly, rest, and do something else.

Warning Signs of Problem Gaming

Watch out if you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone you know

1
Loss of Budget Control

You keep spending more than your set budget and find yourself unable to stop.

2
Chasing Losses

Betting more to "recover" losses is where the problematic cycle begins.

3
Hiding Activity from Family & Friends

You are lying to or hiding your betting activity from family members.

4
Neglecting Other Responsibilities

Your work, studies, or family responsibilities are suffering because of betting.

5
Betting with Borrowed Money

You're borrowing money from friends, family, or lenders to fund your betting.

6
Emotional Distress

You feel restless or irritable when you can't play, and only feel better once you do.

7
Urge to Increase Bet Sizes

You find yourself placing increasingly larger bets just to feel the same level of excitement.

8
Failed Attempts to Stop

You've decided to quit betting but keep coming back.

9
Financial Difficulties

Betting is regularly making it difficult to cover everyday household expenses.

Check Yourself

Answer honestly — these questions are just for you

1. Did you bet more than your planned budget last month?
2. After a loss, did you bet again to try to win it back?
3. Have you hidden or kept secrets about your betting from family or friends?
4. Is betting affecting your daily responsibilities or relationships?
5. Have you ever bet with borrowed money or funds set aside for emergencies?

Why Responsible Gaming Matters

Online betting is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. Millions of people enjoy cricket betting, casino games, and Sports Betting on platforms like 98vip — and for most, it's a genuinely enjoyable form of entertainment. However, for a small number of users, betting can become a problem if responsible gaming practices are not followed.

98vip believes a platform's success isn't just measured by its user count — it's measured by the well-being and happiness of those users. That's why we treat responsible gaming not as a compliance checkbox, but as a core part of who we are.

When is betting entertainment, and when does it become a problem?

The difference is actually quite clear. When you decide for yourself how much you'll play, stay within your own budget, accept losses without distress, and enjoy life beyond betting — that's healthy entertainment. But when betting is constantly on your mind, you can no longer stick to a budget, or it's affecting your relationships and work — that's when it's time to seek help.

Awareness around responsible gaming is still limited in Bangladesh. Many people don't recognize the signs, or feel too ashamed to seek help. 98vip wants to change that. Asking for help is not a weakness — it takes courage.

Research shows that only 1–3% of online gaming users experience problem gaming. However, staying aware and proactive can reduce this risk significantly.

Our Measures to Protect Minors

98vip strictly enforces an 18+ policy. Date of birth is verified at registration, and KYC documents are checked to confirm age on larger transactions. If there is any evidence that an account is being used by someone under 18, the account is immediately suspended and any deposited funds are returned.

If you have children or teenagers at home, use a PIN or password lock on your device. Always log out of the 98vip app and never share your login credentials with anyone.

The Role of Family

What should you do if a family member or friend is concerned about someone's betting habits? Start with a calm, direct, and empathetic conversation — express your concern without blame. If needed, reach out to 98vip's support team; family members are welcome to seek help too.
