Responsible Gaming at b89bd — Play Smart, Stay Safe
b89bd is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all Bangladesh players. Gaming should be entertainment — never a financial solution or a source of stress.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At b89bd, responsible gaming is not a policy footnote — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that online gaming, including cricket betting, slots, jackpot games, and live casino, should be an enjoyable leisure activity that stays well within your financial means and personal limits. We provide a range of practical tools that put you in control of your gambling activity at all times.
This page explains the responsible gaming tools available to b89bd account holders, the warning signs of problem gambling, guidance on how to access further support, and b89bd's policy on preventing underage access to the platform. All b89bd services are strictly for players aged 21 and above. If you are under 21, you must not register an account or use the b89bd platform.

Playing Responsibly — The Golden Rules
The vast majority of b89bd players in Bangladesh enjoy online gaming as a fun, recreational activity. The following principles help ensure that gaming stays enjoyable and does not become a source of financial or emotional harm:
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money allocated for rent, food, bills, loan repayments, or other essential expenses to fund your b89bd account.
- Set a personal budget for each gaming session before you start, and stick to it even if you experience a losing streak. Do not chase losses — accept that some sessions will end in a loss and that this is a normal part of gaming.
- Set a time limit for each gaming session. Prolonged gaming sessions reduce focus and increase the likelihood of impulsive decisions. Use your device's screen-time tools or b89bd's time-out feature to manage session length.
- Never gamble when you are under the influence of alcohol, under significant emotional stress, or dealing with a personal crisis. Impaired judgement directly increases gambling-related harm.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. The house edge means that, over time, the platform will generate more revenue than it pays out — this is the mathematical reality of all forms of gambling.
b89bd encourages all players to take regular breaks between sessions, to review their transaction history periodically, and to use the deposit limit and time-out tools proactively — not only when a problem has already developed. Responsible gaming habits built early are the most effective protection against problem gambling.
Recognising the Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- ⚠️You spend more money than you planned when you start a gaming session, and find it difficult to stop once you have started.
- ⚠️You gamble with money that was intended for essential expenses — rent, groceries, school fees, utility bills, or loan repayments.
- ⚠️You chase your losses — after a losing session, you immediately want to deposit more to try to recover what you have lost.
- ⚠️You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce the amount you gamble.
- ⚠️You lie to family members or close friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
- ⚠️Gambling has begun to interfere with your work, studies, or personal relationships — you are missing responsibilities or arriving late because of time spent gaming.
- ⚠️You have borrowed money, sold personal belongings, or taken out loans to fund your gambling activity.
If you recognise two or more of the above signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use b89bd's self-exclusion tool and to reach out to support at [email protected]. You can also speak to a trusted family member or friend. There is no shame in acknowledging that gambling is becoming difficult to control — reaching out early leads to better outcomes.
Responsible Gaming Tools Available on b89bd
b89bd provides the following responsible gaming tools directly to account holders. All tools can be activated by contacting the customer support team at [email protected]. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including during public holidays in Bangladesh such as Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and Victory Day.
Deposit Limit
Request a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the total BDT amount you can deposit into your b89bd account. Once set, your deposit limit can only be decreased immediately — any increase to a limit requires a cooling-off period of at least 7 days before it takes effect, giving you time to reconsider.
Time-Out
A time-out temporarily suspends your access to the b89bd platform for a defined period: 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Withdrawals of existing balances remain available. A time-out is ideal for players who want a short break without committing to a full self-exclusion.
Cool-Off Period
A cool-off period is a lighter version of a time-out. It restricts promotional communications and bonus offers to your account for a chosen period, while allowing you to continue playing at reduced engagement. It is suited to players who feel that bonus-driven play is influencing their spending behaviour.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion closes your b89bd account and blocks your registered mobile number from being used to open a new account for a minimum period of 6 months. Extensions beyond 6 months — up to a permanent exclusion — are available on request. Once a self-exclusion is applied, it cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. If you believe gambling is seriously affecting your life, self-exclusion is the appropriate tool to use.
To activate any of the above tools, email [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request" and specify which tool you wish to apply and, if relevant, the limit amount or period you are requesting. Your request will be actioned within 24 hours and you will receive a confirmation. b89bd does not require you to explain the reason for your request — your right to use these tools is unconditional.
Understanding Deposit Limits — How They Work
Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping your gambling within safe boundaries. A deposit limit does not restrict how you play — it restricts only how much new money you can add to your account within a set time period. Your existing account balance remains available for wagering regardless of the limit in place.
b89bd supports three deposit limit timeframes, all denominated in BDT:
- Daily deposit limit: the maximum amount you can deposit in any single calendar day (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6). If you reach your daily limit, no further deposits are accepted until the next day.
- Weekly deposit limit: the maximum amount you can deposit across any rolling 7-day period. Ideal for players who play on an irregular schedule and find a daily limit too restrictive.
- Monthly deposit limit: the maximum amount you can deposit in any rolling 30-day period. This is the most commonly requested limit and is well suited for players who receive monthly income via bKash, Nagad, or Rocket.
You may hold multiple limit types simultaneously — for example, both a daily and a monthly limit. The more restrictive limit always takes precedence. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period. If you change your mind about increasing a limit during the cooling-off period, contact support and the increase will be cancelled.
Self-Exclusion — A Serious Tool for Serious Situations
Self-exclusion is designed for players who have recognised that their gambling has become, or is at serious risk of becoming, harmful to their financial wellbeing, mental health, family relationships, or work life. It is not a punitive measure — it is a protective one, and b89bd treats all self-exclusion requests with complete confidentiality and without judgement.
When a self-exclusion is applied to your b89bd account: your account is immediately suspended and all access is blocked; your registered mobile number is added to b89bd's exclusion register and cannot be used to create a new account during the exclusion period; any pending bets placed before the exclusion are settled normally; your remaining account balance is available for withdrawal through the standard support process; you will not receive any promotional communications from b89bd during the exclusion period.
The minimum self-exclusion period is 6 months. You may request a longer period — 12 months, 24 months, 5 years, or permanent — when submitting your request. At the end of the exclusion period, your account will not automatically reopen; you must contact support to request reinstatement, and b89bd will apply a 7-day cooling-off review before reinstating access. To request self-exclusion, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".
Protecting Young People — Our Age Restriction Policy
b89bd operates a strict 21+ policy. No person under the age of 21 may register an account, make a deposit, or place a bet on the b89bd platform. At the point of registration, users confirm that they are 21 years of age or older. b89bd reserves the right to request documentary proof of age at any time — including at the point of a withdrawal request or during a routine account review. Acceptable documents include a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate.
If b89bd discovers that a player is, or was, under the age of 21 at the time of registration, the account will be permanently closed, all winnings will be forfeited, and any deposited funds will be returned net of amounts already wagered. Parents and guardians who are concerned that a minor may have accessed b89bd should contact [email protected] immediately. To help protect young people in your household, use your device's parental control tools to restrict access to gambling websites.
Getting Help — You Are Not Alone
b89bd's customer support team is your first point of contact for activating any responsible gaming tool. Our team handles all responsible gaming requests with complete confidentiality. Whether you want to set a deposit limit, take a time-out, or discuss a concern about your gaming behaviour, contacting support is always the right first step.
If you are in Bangladesh and you or someone you care about is struggling with problem gambling, we encourage you to reach out to a trusted family member, community leader, or health professional. A conversation with someone close to you can be the most important step toward regaining control. b89bd does not provide clinical counselling, but our support team can help you access the tools that will limit your exposure to the platform while you work through any difficulties.
