🛡 Our Commitment to Safe Play

sona88 Responsible Gaming — Your safety is our priority

Keep entertainment enjoyable — use deposit limits, self-exclusion, and time-out tools to stay in control of your gaming at all times.

Why does Responsible Betting matter?

We are committed to making sure entertainment never turns into a problem.

Online betting and casino gaming are forms of entertainment, but if they go out of control they can have a negative impact on your personal, family, and financial life. sona88 firmly believes that the joy of gaming is complete only when it is enjoyed responsibly.

Our responsible gaming policy gives every user full control over their gaming experience. You can set deposit limits, take a break for a specific period, and even temporarily suspend your account entirely if needed. Our goal is to keep gaming within the boundaries of entertainment at all times — never a source of stress or burden.

On this page you will learn how to use sona88's various safety tools, what the signs of problematic gambling are, and where to reach out for support. Remember — sona88 is for users aged 21 and above only.

Important Warning

Gambling can be addictive. If you feel you are losing control over your gaming, contact our support team immediately. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of courage.

For users aged 21 and over only

sona88 strictly prevents anyone under 21 from registering an account or placing bets. Age verification is a regular part of our process.

Our Safety Tools

sona88 provides these tools to help you stay in control of your gaming experience.

Set Deposit Limits

You can set a maximum amount for daily, weekly, or monthly deposits. Once a limit is set it takes effect immediately, and increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period — this prevents impulsive over-depositing.

Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each session. When the set time is up, you will be logged out automatically. This prevents hours of unintentional play.

Time-Out (Break)

Temporarily suspend your account for any period from 24 hours to 30 days. During a time-out you cannot log in or deposit, but any existing withdrawal in progress will continue.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a long-term break, use the self-exclusion option. Once active, it is not possible to reopen your account before the set period ends.

Review Gaming History

You can view the complete history of all your bets, deposits, and withdrawals at any time. Regularly reviewing your activity is an important part of responsible gaming.

24/7 Support

If you feel gaming is becoming a problem, our support team is with you in Bengali, seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. Reach out via live chat or email.

For users aged 21 and over only

The sona88 platform is strictly for users aged 21 and above. Minors are completely prohibited from creating or using an account, and this sits at the heart of our gaming policy.

Warning Signs of Problematic Gaming

If even one of the following signs appears in you, seek help immediately.

Betting beyond your budget

Repeatedly spending money beyond your set limit, even after suffering losses.

Trying to recover lost money

Continuously placing larger bets to recover losses — commonly known as "chasing losses".

Spending too much time

Spending far more time gaming than planned, in a way that is affecting daily life.

Relationship deterioration

Relationships with family or friends worsening due to gaming, or a tendency to hide it from them.

Emotional discomfort

Feeling anxiety, irritability, or frustration when unable to play.

Financial problems

Taking on debt to fund betting, or cutting back on essential expenses to increase the gaming budget.

Tips for Healthy Gaming

Following these simple habits will keep betting enjoyable at all times.

01

Set a budget first

Before each session, decide on the maximum amount you will spend. Once you reach that limit, stop playing for the day.

02

Stick to a time limit

Set a time limit before starting a session. Use a timer or keep the platform's session limit feature turned on.

03

Winning is not guaranteed

The outcome of every game is completely random. Think of betting as entertainment, not as a source of income.

04

Avoid alcohol and emotional states

Do not bet when under stress or feeling low. Making gaming decisions with a clear mind leads to better judgment.

05

Take regular breaks

Concentration drops during long sessions and the chance of poor decisions increases. Take at least one short break every hour.

06

Let people close to you know

Tell a family member or trusted friend that you do online betting. They can remind you when needed.

How to Use the Tools

Activating sona88's safety tools is very straightforward.

Setting a Deposit Limit

After logging in to your account, go to the Account Settings section and find the "Responsible Gaming" menu. Set your daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit there. Lowering a limit takes effect instantly; increasing it has a cooling-off period that gives you time to make a considered decision.

Activating a Time-Out

From the same Settings menu, choose a time-out of 24 hours, 72 hours, 1 week, or 30 days. During a time-out you will not be able to access the platform and will not receive any bonus or promotional communications.

Applying for Self-Exclusion

To apply for self-exclusion, contact our support team directly via live chat or email ([email protected]). We will lock your account for the specified period. If an attempt is made to open a new account while self-exclusion is active, that account will also be closed.

Direct Help

If you have difficulty using the Settings menu, or if you feel the issue is serious, contact our 24/7 live chat directly. Our support team will assist you in Bengali with full confidentiality — without any judgment or criticism.
