Responsible Gaming — Play Smart on cv988
cv988 is committed to keeping gambling fun, safe and within your control. This page explains the tools available to every registered player and what to do if gambling stops feeling like entertainment.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
cv988 believes that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a financial burden or a source of stress. We are committed to providing every player in Bangladesh with the tools, information and direct support needed to keep their gambling activity well within healthy limits.
The vast majority of cv988 players enjoy cricket betting, live casino and slot games as a leisure activity without any issue. However, we recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can become problematic. Problem gambling does not discriminate — it can affect anyone regardless of age, income or background. That is why cv988 invests in responsible gaming infrastructure and makes these tools freely available to every account holder, not just those who are already experiencing difficulties.
cv988 applies a strict 21+ age policy. Every new registration on cv988 is subject to age and identity verification. We reserve the right to request additional verification documents at any time and to close accounts where a player is found to be below the minimum age. Protecting young people from the harms of gambling is one of cv988's most fundamental responsibilities.
Responsible Gaming Tools Available on cv988
Every registered cv988 player has free access to the following responsible gaming tools at any time through their account settings or by contacting the cv988 support team directly via live chat.
Age Verification — 21+ Policy
cv988 operates a strict minimum age policy of 21 years. This is not a marketing requirement — it is a fundamental player protection measure. Gambling before the age of 21 carries significantly higher risks of developing problem gambling behaviours, financial harm and psychological distress. cv988 does not knowingly permit any person under the age of 21 to register an account or place any bet on the platform.
Every new cv988 account is subject to identity and age verification before full withdrawal rights are granted. cv988 uses third-party KYC verification to confirm the age and identity of registered players. Where there is any doubt about a player's age, cv988 will restrict account access until satisfactory proof of age is provided. Any winnings accrued on an account that is subsequently confirmed to belong to an underage player will be forfeited.
Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important step toward getting help before the situation becomes harder to manage. If you notice any of the following in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to reach out for support.
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, utility bills or family costs in Dhaka, Chittagong or elsewhere in Bangladesh.
- Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost, often leading to larger losses in a shorter time.
- Feeling unable to stop or reduce gambling activity even after deciding to do so, or experiencing strong urges to gamble when not playing.
- Neglecting work, studies, family commitments or social relationships in Bangladesh due to time spent on gambling or recovering from gambling losses.
- Borrowing money, selling personal belongings or taking loans to fund gambling activity rather than to cover legitimate living expenses.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, depressed or restless when not gambling, or using gambling as a way to escape personal problems or negative emotions.
Self-Exclusion on cv988
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on cv988. When you activate a self-exclusion, your account is immediately locked — you cannot log in, deposit, place bets or access any game on the platform for the duration of the exclusion period. Your existing account balance will remain secure and will be returned to your registered bKash or Nagad account upon request once the exclusion expires (for temporary exclusions) or at any time (for permanent exclusions).
cv988 offers two types of self-exclusion: temporary self-exclusion (minimum 30 days, maximum 12 months) and permanent self-exclusion (indefinite, with no option to reinstate the account). A temporary self-exclusion can be extended at any time but cannot be shortened — this is a deliberate design feature that protects players from impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment. A permanent self-exclusion, once confirmed, is irreversible.
How to Activate Self-Exclusion
- 1Contact Support — Open the live chat on any cv988 page and tell the support agent you wish to activate a self-exclusion. No lengthy forms — one message is enough to start the process.
- 2Choose Your Period — Tell the agent whether you want a temporary exclusion (30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months or 12 months) or a permanent exclusion. The agent will not attempt to dissuade you or offer incentives to continue playing.
- 3Verify Identity — The support agent will verify your identity using your registered mobile number and account details to ensure the exclusion is applied to the correct account.
- 4Exclusion Confirmed — Your self-exclusion is activated within minutes. You will receive confirmation via your registered mobile number. Your account balance is secured and will be returned when eligible.
Deposit Limits — Stay in Control of Your Spending
Deposit limits are one of the simplest and most effective tools for keeping your gambling within a budget you are comfortable with. cv988 allows every registered player to set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit on their account at any time. Once a limit is in place, cv988 will automatically decline any deposit attempt that would exceed that limit, regardless of the payment method used — whether bKash, Nagad, Rocket or bank transfer.
A limit reduction takes effect immediately — the moment you lower your limit, the new lower cap is active. A limit increase, by contrast, is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before it takes effect. This asymmetric design is intentional: it allows you to protect yourself quickly but prevents impulsive decisions to increase spending made in the heat of a session.
Tips for Safer, More Enjoyable Gambling
Whether you are new to online gambling or a long-time cv988 player, these practical guidelines will help you keep your gambling experience positive and under control.
- Set a strict entertainment budget before each session and treat any losses as the cost of entertainment — never chase losses by depositing more than you planned to spend.
- Always gamble with money you can genuinely afford to lose. Never use funds earmarked for rent, groceries, bKash savings, utility bills or family obligations in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet or any other city in Bangladesh.
- Take regular breaks during play. Set a session time reminder on cv988 so the platform alerts you after 30, 60 or 90 minutes — step away from the screen, drink water, and give yourself time to reassess whether you want to continue.
- Never gamble when you are tired, stressed, emotionally upset or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair decision-making and increase the risk of placing bets you would not otherwise make in a calm, clear-headed state.
- Balance gambling with other leisure activities. Keep your social life, hobbies, exercise routine and family time active and separate from your gaming sessions. Gambling should be one small part of a balanced lifestyle, not the primary source of entertainment or excitement.
- Use cv988's responsible gaming tools proactively — not just in a crisis. Setting a deposit limit before you need one, enabling reality checks during regular play, and reviewing your session history monthly are simple habits that dramatically reduce the risk of gambling problems developing.
