kn88 Responsible Gaming
— Play Safe, Stay in Control
kn88 is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable platform for all players across Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming framework gives you the tools, information, and support you need to keep gambling a fun and controlled activity — not a source of harm.
Self-Exclusion Programme
Request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion from kn88 at any time via live chat or email. Your account will be restricted immediately with no questions asked, protecting you from further gambling activity.
Deposit Limit Controls
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps on your kn88 account in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Limits take effect immediately when reduced and help you manage your spend within a comfortable budget.
Session Time Reminders
Enable session time reminders to receive on-screen alerts when you have been playing for a set period. Taking regular breaks keeps your gaming sessions enjoyable and prevents fatigue-driven decisions.
Cooling-Off Periods
Not ready for full self-exclusion? A cooling-off period (from 24 hours up to 6 weeks) temporarily suspends your kn88 account, giving you space to reflect without closing your account permanently.
Reality Checks
kn88 reality check notifications display your session duration and net win/loss position at regular intervals. This transparent feedback helps you stay grounded and make informed decisions while playing.
24/7 Safe Play Support
Our dedicated support team is available around the clock, every day of the year, in Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6). Reach us via live chat or email if you have any concerns about your gambling habits.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
At kn88, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we operate as a platform serving players across Bangladesh. We believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment: an enjoyable, voluntary activity undertaken with money that players can genuinely afford to spend. When gambling begins to feel like an obligation, an escape, or a financial necessity, it has crossed the line from leisure into harm.
kn88 is committed to providing every registered player with transparent information about the risks associated with gambling, practical tools to maintain control over their activity, and clear, accessible pathways to professional support if gambling becomes a problem. Our responsible gaming programme covers six core areas: age verification, deposit controls, time management tools, self-exclusion, reality checks, and player support.
We work proactively to identify players who may be showing early signs of problem gambling — such as rapid escalation in deposit frequency, unusually long gaming sessions, or erratic betting patterns — and our compliance team may reach out to such players with information about the responsible gaming tools available to them. This outreach is always voluntary and supportive in nature, never punitive.
kn88 uses SSL-encrypted, fair-play certified game engines from globally recognised studios including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, NetEnt, Microgaming, Spribe, and Ezugi. All random number generators (RNGs) used in our games are independently certified for fairness. We do not manipulate odds, payout rates, or game mechanics. Transparency and fairness are the foundation of the trust that players across Bangladesh place in kn88.
18+ Age Restriction Policy
kn88 strictly prohibits access to its platform by anyone under the age of 18. This is an absolute rule with no exceptions. The minimum age requirement applies to all account types, all game categories (casino, live dealer, sports betting, slots, e-sports), and all transaction types including deposits, withdrawals, and bonus claims.
Age verification at registration: Every new kn88 account applicant is required to confirm during the registration process that they are aged 18 or above. This declaration is a binding statement and any misrepresentation of age constitutes a material breach of our Terms & Conditions.
KYC age verification: Before kn88 processes any withdrawal request, the player must complete our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. This requires submission of a valid government-issued identity document — most commonly a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) — which is reviewed to confirm that the account holder is 18 years of age or older. Accounts where age cannot be verified will be suspended pending document submission.
Suspected underage access: Where kn88 has reasonable grounds to suspect that an account holder may be under the age of 18 — for example, through anomalies in submitted identity documents or flagged information — the account will be immediately suspended and all gaming activity frozen until age is confirmed. If the account holder is found to be under 18, the account will be permanently closed, all deposits will be refunded (minus any losses), and the incident will be reported to relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
Self-Exclusion Tools
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on kn88. It allows you to voluntarily close your account for a defined period — or permanently — so that you cannot access the platform, place bets, or make deposits during the exclusion period. Self-exclusion is available to any registered kn88 player at any time, with no minimum account age or minimum activity requirement.
Choose Your Exclusion Type
Select from a temporary cooling-off period (24 hours to 6 weeks), a medium-term exclusion (3 months, 6 months, or 12 months), or a permanent self-exclusion with no reinstatement option. All exclusion types are available at no cost.
Contact kn88 Support
Request self-exclusion via the 24/7 live chat on any kn88 page, or by emailing support at kn88.im with "Self-Exclusion Request" in the subject line. Include your registered username and your preferred exclusion duration.
Immediate Account Restriction
Your account will be restricted within minutes of a confirmed self-exclusion request. You will receive a confirmation to your registered email address. Any pending withdrawal at the time of exclusion will be processed to your verified payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account).
Reinstatement (Temporary Only)
For temporary cooling-off periods, reinstatement is not automatic. You must actively request reinstatement after the exclusion period has ended, and there is a mandatory 24-hour reflection window before the account is reactivated. Permanent self-exclusions cannot be reversed.
Deposit Limits & Spend Controls
Deposit limits are one of the most effective day-to-day tools for maintaining control over your gambling spend. kn88 allows every registered player to set personalised deposit limits in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) that cap the total amount you can deposit within a given time period. Once set, a reduced limit takes effect immediately — you cannot override a reduced limit by contacting support to circumvent the cooling-off period.
- Daily deposit limit: Caps the maximum amount you can deposit in any 24-hour rolling period. For example, setting a daily limit of ৳2,000 means you cannot deposit more than ৳2,000 in any single day regardless of game outcomes.
- Weekly deposit limit: Caps the total amount deposited across any 7-day rolling period. Recommended for players who prefer to budget on a weekly basis aligned with income cycles.
- Monthly deposit limit: Caps the total amount deposited across any calendar month. This is the broadest spending control and is suitable for players who manage their gambling budget on a monthly basis.
- Reducing a limit: Any reduction in a deposit limit takes effect immediately. If you reduce your daily limit from ৳5,000 to ৳1,000, the ৳1,000 limit applies from the moment the change is confirmed.
- Increasing a limit: For player protection, increases to existing deposit limits are subject to a 7-day cooling-off period before the new higher limit takes effect. This prevents impulsive limit increases during a losing session.
- Requesting limit changes: Contact the kn88 support team via live chat or email to set or modify your deposit limits. Our team will confirm the change and its effective date in writing to your registered email address.
In addition to deposit limits, kn88 also supports loss limits (capping the maximum net loss permitted within a period) and wager limits (capping the total bet amount per session). Contact our support team to discuss which combination of spend controls best fits your circumstances.
Time-Out & Session Reminders
Time can pass quickly during an engaging gaming session. kn88 provides a suite of time management tools to help you keep track of how long you have been playing and to prompt you to take breaks at regular intervals. These tools are entirely voluntary and can be configured to match your personal preferences.
- Session time reminders: Set an on-screen reminder to appear after a specified number of minutes of continuous play (for example, every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 90 minutes). The reminder displays your session duration and cumulative net win/loss, giving you full context before you decide whether to continue.
- Daily play time limit: Set a maximum number of hours per day that your kn88 account can be actively used. Once your daily time limit is reached, the platform will prompt you to log out for the remainder of that day.
- Reality check notifications: Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that display your session statistics at your chosen interval. Unlike passive reminders, reality checks require you to actively acknowledge the notification before you can continue playing — this brief moment of conscious decision-making is a proven harm-reduction technique.
- Automatic log-out: Configure your account to automatically log out after a period of inactivity (ranging from 15 minutes to 2 hours). This prevents unintended play continuation on shared devices.
Time management tools are complementary to, not a substitute for, the deposit and spend controls described in the previous section. For the most robust responsible gaming setup, kn88 recommends combining a monthly deposit limit with a daily play time limit and regular session reminders. Our support team can help you configure all of these settings in a single conversation via live chat.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following warning signs are indicators that gambling may be moving from entertainment into a problematic pattern. If you recognise several of these signs in your own behaviour — or in the behaviour of someone you know — please seek support immediately. Early intervention is far more effective than waiting until the situation becomes severe.
Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble in order to win back money you have already lost, or increasing bet sizes after a losing run.
Gambling with money you cannot afford: Using funds allocated for rent, food, utility bills, bKash transfers to family, or other essential expenses to fund gambling.
Secrecy and concealment: Hiding your gambling activity, winnings, or losses from family members, friends, or colleagues in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or elsewhere.
Preoccupation with gambling: Spending significant time thinking about past gambling sessions, planning future sessions, or calculating odds when you are not actively playing.
Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family commitments because of gambling sessions, or performing poorly in these areas due to gambling-related stress.
Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans, using credit facilities, or borrowing from friends or family specifically to fund gambling deposits via bKash, Nagad, or Rocket.
Failed attempts to stop: Deciding to stop or cut back on gambling but finding yourself unable to follow through, returning to gambling shortly after each attempt.
Gambling to escape: Using gambling sessions as a way to escape anxiety, depression, loneliness, financial stress, or personal difficulties rather than for entertainment.
Self-Assessment Checklist
Use the checklist below as a private, honest reflection on your current gambling habits. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a starting point for self-awareness. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to speak with our support team or consider activating a self-exclusion or cooling-off period on your kn88 account.
Gambling Habits Self-Assessment
Review each statement honestly. Consider your gambling behaviour over the past 30 days.
I have spent more money gambling than I originally planned to spend in a single session or week.
I have gambled with money that was set aside for household bills, food, or essential expenses.
I have felt the urge to keep gambling in order to win back money I have lost.
I have felt anxious, irritable, or restless when I have tried to reduce or stop gambling.
I have concealed the extent of my gambling from family members or close friends.
Gambling has negatively affected my work performance, studies, or family relationships.
I have borrowed money or sold personal items in order to fund gambling deposits.
I find myself thinking about gambling frequently when I am not actively playing.
If you found yourself agreeing with several of the statements above, please do not ignore those responses. Reach out to the kn88 support team today — activating even a short cooling-off period can provide the mental space needed to reassess your relationship with gambling. You do not have to be at crisis point to use our responsible gaming tools.
