89bdt's 6 Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Set Deposit Limits

You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be increased after a 7-day waiting period.

Session Time Control

Set a maximum session length before you start playing. When the time is up, the system will automatically alert you and help you wrap up the session.

Cooling-Off Break

Take a voluntary break of 24 hours to 6 weeks to clear your head. Your account will be fully inactive during this period, but your balance will remain safe.

Self-Exclusion Feature

If you are dealing with a long-term problem, you can set a self-exclusion period ranging from 6 months to 5 years. This request cannot be reversed — and that is exactly what makes this feature effective.

Set a Loss Limit

Decide in advance how much you're comfortable losing in a given session. When you reach that limit, you'll be notified and given a moment to reconsider before placing another bet.

Expert Support

There's no shame in talking about gaming addiction. 89bdt's trained support team will listen to you in complete confidence and point you toward professional help.

What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible Gaming means staying in control of your gaming or betting — keeping it a source of entertainment that never leads to personal, financial, or mental harm. At 89bdt, Responsible Gaming is not just a policy — it is at the heart of everything we do.

Online gaming has become a popular leisure activity for many people in Bangladesh. Played the right way, it is an enjoyable experience. But without boundaries, any form of entertainment can become a problem — and gaming is no exception.

89bdt's responsible gaming philosophy is built on three core principles:

  • Your Choice: Whether to play, and how much — the decision is entirely yours.
  • Financial Control: Never bet beyond your means, and avoid chasing losses by placing more bets.
  • Realistic Expectations: Gaming is not a reliable source of income — it is a form of entertainment with uncertain outcomes.
Keep in Mind: Responsible Gaming does not mean giving up gaming. It means knowing your limits, staying level-headed, and enjoying the experience — the way any healthy form of entertainment should be enjoyed.

8 Ways to Build Healthy Gaming Habits

A few simple habits go a long way toward a healthy and enjoyable gaming experience. 89bdt actively supports you in building those habits:

  • Set Your Budget in Advance: Decide in advance how much you will spend per session or per week, and stick to it. 89bdt's Deposit Limit feature handles this automatically.
  • Track Your Time: It's easy to lose track of time when you're deep in a game. Keep the session timer on and take regular breaks.
  • Stop When You're Down: Don't keep playing to try to win back what you've lost. That mindset is the single biggest danger in gambling.
  • Don't Bet on Impulse: Avoid making decisions when you are angry, frustrated, or emotionally charged.
  • Play With a Clear Head: You should not game while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
  • Treat Gaming as Entertainment: Think of it as entertainment — like going to the cinema — not a source of income.
  • Spend Time With Family and Friends: Give equal attention to other areas of your life, not just gaming.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Take at least one or two completely gaming-free days each week.
Pro Tips: You can update your limits, view session reports, and take a cooling-off break at any time from the "Responsible Gaming" menu in the 89bdt app settings.

Recognize the Warning Signs

Gaming addiction can develop gradually — and it's often hard to notice yourself. Watch out for these warning signs:

Signs Description Level
Exceeding Your Budget Spending more than your set limit, repeatedly Basic
Time Keeps Increasing Consistently playing longer than you planned Basic
Chasing Losses Placing bigger bets to recover lost money Severe
Concealment Hiding your gaming from family or people close to you Severe
Borrowing Money Borrowing money or dipping into savings to fund gaming Severe
Mood Changes Feeling irritable or restless when you are unable to play Severe
If you notice even one of the signs above in yourself, don't wait — contact the 89bdt support team or take a cooling-off break on your own.

Self-Assessment

Answer the following questions honestly. If most of your answers are "Yes," it may be time to seek help.

1
Do you often spend more time or money than you planned?
2
Do you go back to playing just to recover your losses?
3
Have you ever lied to family or friends about your gaming?
4
Do you feel restless or irritable when you're away from gaming?
5
Have you neglected work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gaming?
6
Have you ever tried to cut back or stop gaming but couldn't?
7
Have you ever borrowed money to cover your gaming costs?

This assessment is not a medical diagnosis, but it will help you understand your own gaming behaviour. The sooner you seek help, the easier it is to get back on track.

Protection of Minors

89bdt is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. We have firm measures in place to protect minors:

  • Suspicious accounts are reviewed and may be subject to additional verification if required.
  • Once a user is confirmed to be a minor, the account is closed immediately and all associated data is deleted.

Advice for Parents: If there are children or teenagers in your household, use parental control software on your devices. Some popular options include:

  • Google Family Link: Effective for blocking apps and sites on Android devices.
  • Apple Screen Time: Enforces age-based restrictions on iOS and macOS devices.
  • Net Nanny or Qustodio: Cross-platform parental control software.
Talk as a Family: Talk openly with your child about the risks of online gaming. Awareness is the best form of protection.
