Setting a Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Once a limit is in place it applies to your account automatically, and any increase requires a 7-day waiting period.

1 What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying games in a way that does not negatively affect other areas of your life — your family, work, health, or finances. At 8999dbt, we see gaming as a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, and with it comes an increasing risk of problematic gaming behaviour. 8999dbt believes that building healthy gaming habits can make gaming a fun and safe experience.

Responsible gaming rests on three core principles: Control, Awareness and Limitations. Deciding when to play, how long to play, and how much BDT to spend — making those choices consciously is the foundation of responsible gaming.

Please Note: Gaming is always meant to be entertainment. Placing more bets in the hope of recovering lost money is never the right call.

2 Why Is Responsible Gaming Important?

Research shows that problematic gaming behavior causes more than just financial harm — it can also have a negative impact on mental health, family relationships, and professional life. That is why 8999dbt emphasizes awareness from the very start.

Risk of Financial Loss High
Mental Health Impact Medium-High
Family Problems Medium
Social Isolation Medium
Reduced Focus at Work Medium-High
Sleep Problems Low–Medium

8999dbt is fully aware of these risks, which is why we provide a range of practical tools and support options. Responsible gaming matters not just for you, but for your family and loved ones too.

3 Warning Signs of Problematic Gaming

People often don't realize their gaming habits have become problematic. Take a close look at the signs below — if any of them apply to you, it may be time to take a break.

Overspending

Repeatedly depositing more than your set limit or borrowing money to continue gaming.

Chasing Losses

The urge to place more bets after a loss in order to recover the money — this is known as "chasing losses".

Losing Track of Time

Losing track of how much time has passed while playing, or consistently gaming far longer than planned.

Withdrawing from Family and Friends

Skipping social events or family responsibilities to play, or playing in secret.

Mood Swings

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you can't play; only feeling normal when gaming.

Hiding Gaming Activity

Hiding how much time and money you are spending on gaming from family or friends.

If you notice more than two of these signs: Please contact the 8999dbt support team right away, or use the self-exclusion option to take a voluntary break.

7 Responsible Gaming Tips

Building a few small habits around responsible play keeps gaming enjoyable at all times. Tips from 8999dbt:

  • Set Your Budget First: Decide in advance how much BDT you will spend on gaming each week or month, and stick to that limit.
  • Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you will play each day. Use an alarm or session timer to keep track.
  • Don't play when you're tired or stressed: Gaming when you are angry, sad, or anxious increases the likelihood of overspending.
  • Take a Break: Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, and drink some water.
  • Don't set winning targets: Viewing gaming as a source of income leads to disappointment. Treat it as entertainment, nothing more.
  • Keep up other hobbies and activities: Keep a balance between gaming and your family, friends, exercise, and other hobbies.
  • No Gaming Under the Influence: Gaming under the influence impairs your judgment and increases the tendency to place excessive bets.
  • Keep Track: Track how much time and money you are spending — it keeps you aware and in control.
Please Note: The right kind of gaming is the kind that makes you happy. If gaming is causing you stress or anxiety, taking a break is the best decision.
