Important Warning

Gaming is entertainment, not a source of income. Before you start, decide how much time and money you are willing to spend — and take a break once you reach that limit.

  • Don't chase losses by placing more bets to win back what you've lost
  • Do not play when emotional or under the influence of alcohol
  • Don't sacrifice time with your family

Our Protection tools

Features vdb8 provides to ensure safe and responsible gaming for you

Set a Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a cooling-off period.

Session time limit

Set a time limit for each gaming session. Once the time is up, vdb8 will automatically alert you and, if needed, end the session.

Self-Exclusion

Exclude yourself from the platform for a set period — anywhere from 30 days to permanently. This option is completely free and takes effect immediately.

Bet limit settings

Decide in advance the maximum amount you're willing to place on any single bet. Setting a bet limit significantly reduces the risk of a sudden large loss.

Cooling-Off Break

Take a break for any period between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During the cooling-off period, logging in or placing bets will be completely disabled.

Loss Limit

Once you have lost a set amount, you will not be able to continue playing. When your loss limit is reached, vdb8 will automatically stop gaming activity for that day.

What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as entertainment, never as an alternative source of income. At vdb8, we encourage every user to prioritize their financial and mental well-being above all else.

Online gaming and betting are growing rapidly in Bangladesh — but so are cases of problem gambling. That's why vdb8 has made responsible gaming a priority from day one. Our goal isn't just to entertain you; it's to ensure gaming remains a positive experience in your life.

Responsible gaming does not mean playing less. It means playing with intention — deciding in advance how much time to spend, how much money to set aside, and when to stop, based on clear thinking rather than impulse.

vdb8's policy: We believe a happy, in-control player is our greatest asset. That is why we provide the tools and information to help you play within your limits.

Signs of problem gambling

People often do not realize when their gaming habits have become a problem. Watch out for these warning signs:

  • Repeatedly betting in an attempt to recover lost money
  • Lying about or hiding your gaming activity
  • Prioritizing gaming over family, friends, or work
  • Skipping sleep, meals, or important responsibilities to keep playing
  • Feeling uneasy or anxious because you cannot stop on your own
  • Placing bets with emergency money or borrowed funds
  • Feeling irritable or restless when unable to play
  • Needing to bet more and more to feel the same thrill

Caution: If you notice two or more of the above signs in yourself, contact vdb8 support today or use the self-exclusion option.

How do I set limits?

Setting limits at vdb8 is simple. Just head to your account settings and create a safer environment for yourself in a few clicks:

1
Log in to your account

Log in to your vdb8 account and go to the "Responsible Gaming" section.

2
Choose a limit type

Choose whichever suits your needs — deposit limit, bet limit, session time, or loss limit.

3
Enter an amount or time

Enter a value that fits your budget or time limit. Take a moment to choose limits that are realistic for you.

4
Confirm

Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising one requires a 24–72 hour cooling-off period.

Tips: Set your gaming budget at the start of each month. As a rule of thumb, spending no more than 5% of your monthly income on gaming is the smart move.

How does Self-Exclusion work?

Self-exclusion is vdb8's most effective responsible gaming tool. If you feel your gaming is getting out of control, you can activate it at any time.

Once you self-exclude, you won't be able to log in to vdb8, place any bets, or receive promotional messages for the specified period. Any balance in your account will remain safe throughout.

  • Short-term exclusion: For 30, 60, or 90 days
  • Long-term exclusion: For 6 months or 1 year
  • Permanent exclusion: Indefinitely — reactivation requires a strict verification process

Keep in mind: If you attempt to open a new account during a self-exclusion period, we will detect and block it. This is what our commitment to responsible gaming looks like in practice.

Information for Family and Loved Ones

Sometimes a family member can tell that their loved one is struggling with problem gaming, even when the person cannot admit it themselves. If you think someone close to you may be affected:

  • Have an open, calm conversation — share your concern, not your frustration
  • Stay by their side instead of leaving them to face this alone
  • Stay alert before assisting with any financial transactions
  • Reach out to vdb8 support if you need help — we're here for families too

You can also request parental controls on a specific account at vdb8. Please speak with our support team for assistance.

Build healthy gaming habits

Responsible gaming is not just about setting limits — it is about building a healthy mindset. Here are some habits that can keep your gaming experience positive:

  • Before playing, ask yourself — "Am I genuinely in a good headspace today?"
  • Avoid gaming when you are tired, stressed, or feeling low
  • Take a short break after each session — have some water
  • Keep gaming separate from your social life
  • Stay grounded when you win — there is no guarantee the next bet will pay off
  • Don't increase your bets out of anger or frustration after a loss
  • Spend time on other hobbies and activities outside of gaming

Check Yourself

I decide in advance how much time I will spend gaming.

I accept losses when they happen and don't chase them.

I never use borrowed money or emergency funds for gaming.

I avoid gaming during family time or when I have work to attend to.

I can stop whenever I choose to.

All "Yes" answers mean you're a responsible gamer. Even one "No" is a sign to take a step back.

General FAQ

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about responsible gaming

No, your account balance remains fully protected when you self-exclude. Once the self-exclusion period ends, you can use that balance normally or withdraw it.

Yes, reducing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period of 24 to 72 hours. This is intentional — to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

No. If a self-excluded user attempts to open a new account, vdb8 will detect and block it. Our system cross-checks names, addresses, and ID information to enforce this rule.

A cooling-off break is a temporary pause lasting anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks, after which your account reactivates automatically. Self-exclusion is a longer-term and stricter measure — ranging from 30 days to permanent. To end a self-exclusion, you need to contact our support team and go through a verification process.

Start by having a calm conversation with them. Then reach out to our support team at [email protected]. Upon a family member's request, we can investigate the account or apply restrictions. Your identity will be kept completely confidential.

No, not at all. All of vdb8's responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, session time, self-exclusion, cooling-off, and loss limits — are completely free to use. Using them will not affect any bonuses or benefits on your account.
