Playing at hi888 Should Always Feel Good

hi888 is Bangladesh's trusted online betting and live casino platform, and with that trust comes a serious responsibility. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for every player who chooses hi888 — whether they are placing a bet on a BPL match in Dhaka, spinning the reels on a slot game in Chittagong, or joining a live dealer table from anywhere across the country.

Responsible gaming is not a footnote at hi888 — it is a core principle embedded in how we design our platform, train our support team, and interact with our players. We recognise that for the vast majority of our players, gambling is a fun, recreational activity enjoyed in moderation. However, we also acknowledge that a small number of people may develop problematic gambling habits, and we are here to support them with effective, accessible tools and resources.

Our responsible gaming programme covers four key areas: prevention (age verification, account limits, and player education), detection (monitoring for signs of harmful gambling patterns), intervention (proactive outreach and tool activation), and support (direct access to our 24/7 customer care team and guidance to external help organisations). Together, these four pillars form a comprehensive safety net designed to protect every hi888 player.

hi888 strictly enforces a 21+ age restriction across all products — cricket betting, slot games, live casino, Royal Fishing, and the hi888 Wallet. No person under the age of 21 may register or maintain an account on our platform. Age verification is conducted at the point of registration and reinforced during the KYC process. If you are aware of a minor attempting to access hi888, please report this immediately to [email protected] and we will act without delay.

Important Notice: Gambling can be addictive. It is intended for adults aged 21 and above only. If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, please use our self-exclusion tools or contact our support team at any time. Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Six Ways hi888 Keeps You in Control

Strict Age Verification

Every new player must complete a multi-step identity and age verification process before depositing or playing. hi888 uses document-based KYC checks to confirm that all players are aged 21 or above. Accounts that fail verification are suspended immediately.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your hi888 account at any time. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately; raising a limit has a 7-day cooling-off period.

Session Time Limits

Define the maximum length of a single gaming session. When your session limit is reached, hi888 will display a clear on-screen alert and prompt you to take a break. This feature helps you stay aware of how much time you are spending on the platform each day.

Time-Out Periods

Need a short break from gambling? Activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account and balance are fully preserved for when you return.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that your gambling has become a serious problem, you can request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. Self-exclusion immediately closes your account to all gaming activity, and hi888 will not send you any promotional communications during the exclusion period.

Reality Checks & Loss Limits

hi888 can send you periodic reality-check reminders during active sessions, displaying how long you have been playing and your net position. You can also set a maximum loss limit per day, week, or month — once reached, the platform will prevent further play until the period resets.

How to Use hi888's Player Protection Tools

All self-exclusion requests sent by email are actioned within one (1) hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including Eid and public holidays in Bangladesh.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling is moving from recreation into something more harmful. If you identify with three or more of these, we strongly encourage you to use hi888's self-exclusion tools or speak to a professional.

  • Gambling with money set aside for essential expenses such as rent, bills, or food
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling or when trying to cut back
  • Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets in an attempt to win back money already lost
  • Lying to family members or friends about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
  • Neglecting work, studies, family, or personal health due to gambling activity
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking loans specifically to fund gambling
  • Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
  • Using gambling to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with feelings of depression or anxiety

Ask Yourself These Questions

The following self-assessment questions are commonly used by problem gambling support organisations. Answer honestly — this is for your benefit only.

Quick Self-Check

If you answer "Yes" to two or more questions, consider speaking with our support team or using our self-exclusion tools.

Q1 Have you ever spent more time or money gambling than you originally planned?
Q2 Have you gambled to escape from worries, boredom, loneliness, or emotional distress?
Q3 Have you tried to win back money you have lost by gambling more?
Q4 Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get funds for gambling?
Q5 Has your gambling ever caused problems with your family, friends, finances, or work?
Q6 Have you ever felt the need to be secretive about how much you gamble?
You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. hi888's support team is here to help you access the right tools and resources — confidentially and without judgment.

Keeping Minors Away from hi888

hi888 enforces a strict 21+ age requirement across every product on the platform. This policy is non-negotiable and is actively enforced through multi-layer verification at the point of account creation, during the first deposit, and as part of our ongoing KYC review process. Players who are found to have misrepresented their age will have their accounts permanently closed and any winnings forfeited.

We also recognise that some players may share devices with younger family members in their homes in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or elsewhere in Bangladesh. If you share a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a minor, we strongly recommend the following precautions:

  • Always log out of your hi888 account after each session and never save your password in a shared browser.
  • Set up a separate user profile on your device and use a strong password or biometric lock to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Consider installing a family-friendly content filter or parental control application on any shared device.
  • Keep your account credentials private and never share your username, password, or bKash/Nagad payment details with any other person.
  • If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact hi888 support immediately at [email protected].
Report Underage Access: If you have reason to believe that a person under the age of 21 is using the hi888 platform — whether through their own account or through access to an adult's account — please report this to us immediately. We treat all such reports as urgent and will investigate and act within hours.
