Our Commitment to You

At nova88, we believe that enjoyable gambling starts with clear boundaries, honest self-awareness, and a platform that actively supports your wellbeing.

nova88 is an online casino and sports betting platform that serves players across Bangladesh, offering cricket betting, live casino games, premium slots, and more. While the vast majority of our players engage with the platform purely for entertainment and recreation, we recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can become problematic. We take that reality seriously.

Responsible gaming at nova88 is not an afterthought — it is embedded in how we design our platform and how we train our support team. We have built a suite of practical tools to help you set limits, take breaks, and make informed decisions about your gambling activity. If you ever feel that gambling is no longer fun, or that it is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, we encourage you to reach out to us immediately.

All nova88 accounts are strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. 🔞 Age verification is a mandatory part of the account registration and KYC process, and we take a zero-tolerance approach to underage gambling. If you suspect that a minor in your household has accessed the nova88 platform, please contact our support team at once so that we can take immediate action.

Important Gambling Warning

Gambling involves financial risk. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Do not chase losses. Gambling should never be seen as a way to make money or to relieve financial pressure.

18+ Age Restriction

The nova88 platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. Players must be 18 years or older to create an account, place bets, or access any feature of the nova88 platform.

Responsible Gaming Tools & Features

nova88 provides a comprehensive set of player-protection tools. You are in control — use these features at any time through your account settings or by contacting support.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your nova88 account to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before it comes into force.

Session Time Limits

Define a maximum session duration for your play. Once your chosen time is reached, nova88 will display a clear reminder and give you the option to end your session. Managing the time you spend on the platform helps maintain a healthy balance between gaming and daily life.

Time-Out / Cool-Off

If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a time-out period on your nova88 account — ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a time-out, you will not be able to log in or place bets. This tool is ideal when you want a brief pause without committing to long-term self-exclusion.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel their gambling has become a serious concern, nova88 offers a self-exclusion option. You can request a self-exclusion period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years. During this time your account will be suspended, all marketing communications will be stopped, and you will not be permitted to re-register until the exclusion period has fully elapsed.

Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, nova88 allows you to set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. If your net losses reach the limit you have specified, your account will be temporarily restricted from further betting until the limit period resets. This tool is a powerful safeguard against chasing losses.

24/7 Support Access

Our dedicated customer support team is available around the clock, every day of the year including Bangladeshi public holidays. If you are concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you, do not hesitate to reach out. Our team is trained to handle sensitive enquiries with care, confidentiality, and without judgement.

How to Activate Your Tools

Applying any responsible gaming tool on nova88 is straightforward. Follow the steps below or contact our support team and they will assist you directly.

Step 1 — Log In to Your Account

Access the nova88 platform using your registered username and password. All responsible gaming controls are available within your account dashboard once you are logged in.

Step 2 — Navigate to Account Settings

From the main menu, open your account profile and select the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section. Here you will find all available limit and exclusion tools clearly listed.

Step 3 — Choose and Apply Your Preference

Select the tool you wish to activate — whether a deposit limit, loss limit, session timer, time-out, or self-exclusion — enter your preferred value or duration, and confirm. Restrictions that reduce your ability to gamble take effect immediately.

Step 4 — Contact Support If Needed

If you encounter any difficulty activating a tool, or if you wish to request self-exclusion urgently, contact our support team at [email protected] and we will apply the restriction on your behalf without delay.

Common Questions

No. Once a self-exclusion has been confirmed on your nova88 account, it cannot be reversed, shortened, or cancelled for the duration of the period you selected. This is by design — self-exclusion is a serious commitment intended to protect you during a vulnerable period. When the exclusion period ends, you may contact support to discuss reinstatement, which will involve additional checks and a mandatory reflection period.

Any reduction in your deposit limit takes effect immediately upon confirmation. If you request an increase to an existing deposit limit, a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period applies before the higher limit becomes active. This cooling-off period gives you time to reconsider the change with a clear head. You may cancel an increase request during this window at any time.

No. When a time-out or self-exclusion is active on your account, nova88 will immediately cease sending you all marketing and promotional communications, including bonus offers, tournament invitations, and platform newsletters. We will only contact you for essential account-related communications such as security alerts or mandatory regulatory notifications.

Any real-money balance remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be held securely. You may request a withdrawal of your remaining balance through our support team at [email protected]. Any active bonus balances or bonus-related winnings will be forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions, as bonuses are tied to active play and cannot be withdrawn under a self-exclusion.

Responsible gaming tools can only be applied by the account holder themselves, as they require account authentication. However, if you are concerned about a family member's gambling habits, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team. We can discuss the available options sensitively and in confidence. In cases involving potential underage access, we will act immediately upon receiving a report.

Do You Have a Gambling Problem?

It can be difficult to recognise when recreational gambling has crossed into problematic territory. Honest reflection is the first step. Ask yourself the questions on the right — if you answer "yes" to two or more of them, we strongly encourage you to use one of our responsible gaming tools or to contact support.

Problem gambling is more common than many people realise, and it can affect individuals from all walks of life — regardless of income, age, or experience with betting. In Bangladesh, as elsewhere, financial pressures can sometimes push players to gamble beyond their means in the hope of a quick recovery. nova88 actively monitors for patterns that may indicate distress, and our team is trained to approach these situations with empathy and practical guidance.

Remember: seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. You are not alone, and taking action early makes recovery significantly easier. If you are in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or anywhere else across Bangladesh, our support team is reachable 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

A note on professional help: While nova88 provides responsible gaming tools and a supportive team, we are a gaming platform — not a clinical service. If you believe your gambling has become a serious addiction affecting your mental health, finances, or relationships, we strongly encourage you to seek guidance from a qualified counsellor, psychologist, or addiction specialist in your area. Professional help is the most effective path to recovery, and taking that step is something to be proud of.

Tips for Safer Play

Whether you are a new player or a long-time member of the nova88 community, these practical guidelines will help you keep your gambling enjoyable and within healthy boundaries.

Set a Strict Budget

Before you start any gaming session, decide exactly how much you are willing to spend and treat that amount as your entertainment budget for the day. Once it is gone, stop. Never dip into savings, rent money, or funds set aside for household essentials.

Play for Fun, Not Profit

The house always has a mathematical edge over time. View gambling as a form of paid entertainment — like going to a cricket match or a cinema — rather than a reliable income source. Any winnings are a bonus, not an expectation.

Never Chase Losses

One of the most dangerous patterns in gambling is increasing your bets after a loss in an attempt to win your money back quickly. If you find yourself chasing losses, stop your session immediately, take a break, and consider activating a cooling-off period.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen regularly during your gaming session. Continuous play without breaks can impair your judgement and make it harder to stick to your budget. Set a timer if it helps — even a five-minute break can help reset your perspective.

Avoid Gambling When Tired or Stressed

Fatigue, emotional stress, and personal problems reduce your ability to make clear decisions. Gambling while in these states significantly increases the risk of reckless spending. If you have had a difficult day, consider a different form of relaxation instead.

Talk to Someone You Trust

If you feel that gambling is becoming a larger part of your life than you intended, talking openly with a trusted friend or family member can be a powerful first step. Isolation often makes problematic gambling worse. Opening up can give you a fresh perspective and the motivation to seek help.

Protecting Minors

nova88 has a strict 18+ age policy. We take every reasonable measure to prevent access by underage individuals.

All new accounts on the nova88 platform are subject to mandatory age and identity verification as part of our KYC process. Players must submit valid government-issued identification confirming that they are 18 years of age or older before they are permitted to make a deposit or place a bet. Accounts that cannot be verified are restricted until verification is completed.

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend taking the following practical steps to prevent minors from accessing the nova88 platform:

  • Never save your nova88 login credentials in a shared browser or device.
  • Always log out of your nova88 account when you finish a session.
  • Use a screen lock or password on your mobile device.
  • Consider enabling parental control software on shared family devices.
  • Keep your account password private and change it periodically.

If you believe that a minor has accessed the nova88 platform through your account or by creating their own account, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate promptly and take all necessary steps, including account suspension and data deletion.
