What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means playing within your means, with a plan, and purely for enjoyment. At 89app, we always want our players to see gaming as a form of entertainment — not a solution to life's problems.

When online gaming goes beyond entertainment, it can take a toll on your personal, family, and financial life. That's why 89app is firmly committed to responsible gaming. We're not just a gaming platform — we genuinely care about our users' mental well-being.

Many players in Bangladesh are trying online gaming for the first time. 89app is committed to creating a safe environment where every player can enjoy the experience responsibly and have fun.

Keep in mind: Gaming is always for entertainment. Never game to chase losses or relieve stress.

Core Principles of Safe Gaming

For responsible gaming on 89app, we recommend following a few core principles:

  • Set your budget first: Set your maximum spending limit before you start playing and stick to it strictly.
  • Set a time limit: Decide in advance how long you'll play. Use a clock or set an alarm.
  • Be prepared for losses: Winning and losing are both part of gaming. Chasing lost money is a dangerous mindset.
  • Don't play on impulse: Avoid gaming when you're feeling down, angry, or frustrated.
  • Take regular breaks: Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour.
  • Keep up with other activities: Don't let gaming take time away from family, friends, and the hobbies you love.
  • Don't hesitate to seek help: If you feel like you're losing control, contact our support team right away.

Signs of Addiction — Check Yourself

Gaming addiction often develops gradually and can be hard to recognize on your own. Use the questions below to assess yourself:

1

Do you often spend more time or money on gaming than you planned?

2

Do you chase your losses by placing more bets to try to win back what you lost?

3

Do you feel restless, irritable, or on edge when you can't game?

4

Are you hiding your gaming habits from family or friends?

5

Are you taking on debt or dipping into savings to cover gaming costs?

6

Are you skipping work, studies, or family responsibilities to game?

7

Have you tried to cut back on gaming multiple times but couldn't?

Caution: If you answered "Yes" to three or more of the questions above, it's worth seeking help. Reach out to the 89app support team or speak with a specialist.

Warning Signs of Addiction

Identifying the signs early makes it much easier to overcome problem gaming. Below is a comparison of different warning signs:

How to set spending and time limits

On 89app, you can easily set your own gaming limits. To use these features:

  • Log in to your account Sign in to the platform with your username and password.
  • Go to the settings menu Click the profile icon and look for the "Responsible Gaming" option.
  • Set a limit Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits, loss limits, and session time limits.
  • Confirm Changes Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increases are subject to a 24-hour waiting period.
  • Review Regularly Review your gaming history and spending each month, and adjust your limits if needed.

Important: Once a limit is set, lowering it takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period — this is in place for your own protection.

Self-Exclusion feature

The most powerful responsible gaming tool on 89app is Self-Exclusion. If you feel your gaming is getting out of hand, you can take a temporary or long-term break at any time.

Benefits of self-exclusion:

  • Temporary break (7 days to 6 months): Temporarily deactivate your account for a set period.
  • Long-term exclusion (6 months to 5 years): Take a complete break for an extended period.
  • Permanent exclusion: You can permanently close your account at any time.

During self-exclusion, you will not receive any promotional emails or notifications, and you will not be able to log into your account. Any balance you have will be kept safe.

Worth remembering: Attempting to open a new account during self-exclusion is a violation of 89app's terms. We detect such attempts and close the accounts.

Protection of Minors

89app is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We enforce rigorous age verification to keep minors away from online gaming.

Our advice for parents:

  • Keep Parental Controls enabled on your devices.
  • Keep your login details and password away from children.
  • Have open conversations with your children about gaming.
  • If you have any concerns, let our support team know — we'll act quickly.

If a minor registers an account using false information and this comes to our attention, the account will be closed immediately and any deposited funds will be returned.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Log in to your account, go to Profile Settings, and set your daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits under the "Responsible Gaming" option. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately.

Once a temporary self-exclusion period ends, you can resume playing. However, permanent exclusion cannot be reversed. If you reach the end of a long-term exclusion period, please contact the support team.

If you can't stop gaming, keep playing to chase lost money, hide it from family, or neglect important responsibilities — these may be signs of addiction. See the self-assessment section on this page.
