Responsible Gaming at dhoni 8 — Your protection is our priority
Gaming is entertainment, not an obligation. dhoni 8 wants every member to play in a controlled way, know their limits, and seek help when needed. On this page we will show you how to stay safe.
Safe and Responsible Gaming
What is Responsible Gaming and why does it matter
Betting and casino games are essentially a form of entertainment — much like watching a film or playing sports. But for some people it can gradually become a habit, creating financial and mental stress. dhoni 8 believes gaming is enjoyable only when done with conscious decisions, within a set budget, and with proper rest.
We want you to ask yourself before each session — am I playing for fun, or trying to recover losses? If it is the second, taking a break is important. Detailed guidance on account use can be found on our Terms and Conditions page, which also clearly states expectations for responsible behaviour.
If you have questions about personal data protection and privacy, read our Privacy Policy page — it explains in detail how your data is stored and used.
Core principles of safe gaming
- Set a budget before you play and do not spend beyond what you can afford to lose.
- Do not increase your bets to try to recover losses.
- Do not play with borrowed money or someone else's funds.
- Do not play continuously beyond a set amount of time.
- Avoid playing when you are drinking or under mental stress.
Self-Limit Tools — Stay in control yourself
dhoni 8 provides several tools that let you set your own gaming limits. These features are entirely voluntary and can be activated at any time.
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount. Lowering the limit takes effect immediately; increasing it takes some time.
Loss Limit
Set a limit on how much you can lose within a given period. When that limit is reached, the session will be stopped automatically.
Session Time Limit
Set a maximum time for each session. When the time is up, the system will alert you and lock your session temporarily if needed.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a voluntary break from 24 hours up to 30 days. During this time, betting and deposits from the account will be completely paused.
Self-Exclusion
Activating self-exclusion suspends your account for a long period (from 6 months to permanently). To activate it, contact us via 24/7 live chat or email.
Reality Check
A pop-up will appear at set intervals showing how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost.
To activate these tools or for any related questions, contact us via 24/7 live chat or email. The support team assists in both Bengali and English.
Warning Signs — When to stop
Some recognisable signs appear before gaming becomes a problem. If any of the following seem to be happening in your life, pause and seek help.
You feel the urge to bet more to win back money you have lost.
You are hiding your betting from family or friends.
Money meant for daily expenses, bills, or savings is being spent on betting.
Your focus on work, studies, or family responsibilities is declining.
You feel restless or irritable when you are not playing.
You are borrowing money or taking money without others' knowledge to keep betting.
If even one of the signs above applies to you, stop playing and contact our 24/7 live chat — speak in Bengali, no judgment, just help.
Where to Find Help
You do not have to face a gaming problem alone. Alongside dhoni 8's own support team, family, friends, and professional counsellors can all play an important role.

Tips for Safe Gaming
Build some habits to keep gaming enjoyable. These are small steps, but they make a big difference in the long run.
- Set a separate budget for gaming each month and do not go beyond it.
- When you start winning, pause for a moment and withdraw some of your winnings.
- Avoid long, unbroken sessions at the same time every day.
- Keep other forms of entertainment — do not let betting be your only way to spend free time.
- Check your account transaction history regularly and stay aware.
- Do not let anyone play who should not be playing — especially minors.
Has gaming shifted from entertainment to a problem?
Ask yourself these questions:
- Am I spending more than my set budget?
- Is thinking about playing affecting my sleep or work?
- Do I feel irritable or uncomfortable when I am not playing?
- Am I hiding my betting from people close to me?
If the answer to even one question is "yes", contact us via live chat — read our FAQ page for more information.
