Responsible Gaming – MD88 Promotions Guide
Our promotion and bonus-terms explainers are for adults who choose to gamble. Gambling should only ever be entertainment. Here is how to keep it that way, and where to get help.
Signs Gambling Is Becoming a Problem
Chasing losses
Betting more to win back what you lost.
Borrowing or hiding it
Borrowing money to gamble, or hiding it from family.
Losing track of time
Playing longer than planned, or instead of work, study or sleep.
Mood changes
Feeling anxious, irritable or low when not gambling.
How to Set Limits
Set a money limit
Decide what you can afford to lose each week, and never go above it.
Set a time limit
Use a phone timer and stop when it rings.
Check MD88's own tools
Look in your MD88 account or ask MD88 support whether deposit limits, time-outs or self-exclusion are available, and use them if they are.
Self-exclude if you need to
Self-exclusion means asking a gambling site to block you for a set period. You can also install a gambling-blocking app on your devices and ask someone you trust to help.

Play Responsibly
18+ only. Play responsibly. Gambling involves real financial risk and is for adults aged 18 and over only. Set a budget and a time limit before you start, take regular breaks and never chase losses or play with money you need for other things.
Online gambling rules in Nepal are strict, and you are responsible for following the laws that apply to you. If gaming stops being fun, stop, use any limit or self-exclusion tools your account offers, and talk to someone you trust.
