Learn the Core Principles of Healthy Gaming

Responsible gaming isn't just about playing less — it's about playing mindfully, understanding your limits, and keeping gaming a healthy part of your life.

Set Time Limits

Decide how long you will play before you start. Sticking to a set time limit protects you from excessive gaming. Assign gaming a specific slot in your daily routine so it doesn't interfere with other activities. Use an alarm or timer to alert you when your time is up. Remember, taking breaks is not a weakness — it's part of smart gaming.

Set a Budget

Create a separate budget for gaming and never exceed it. Only spend money that, if lost, will have no impact on your daily life. Be wary of the urge to place bigger bets to recover losses — it's a dangerous cycle. Track your gaming expenses every month and reduce your limits if needed. If you're under financial pressure, taking a break from gaming is the wisest decision.

Keep Your Emotions in Check

Avoid gaming when you're angry, frustrated, or stressed, as these states impair your judgment. Excessive excitement after a win and the urge for revenge after a loss are both warning signs. Never use gaming as a way to cope with emotional problems. After each gaming session, ask yourself — was it enjoyable, or did it feel compulsive? An honest answer will keep you on the right track.

Spend Time with Family & Friends

Stay mindful that gaming does not harm your social life or family relationships. Spending quality time with loved ones is essential for mental well-being. If family or friends express concern about your gaming, listen to them carefully. An outside perspective can often help you recognize your own issues. Maintaining relationships is far more valuable than winning any game.

Protect Minors

89 bd strictly prohibits access to its gaming platform for anyone under 18. Keep your device and account information out of reach of younger family members. Avoid gaming in front of children or teenagers so they do not come to see it as normal entertainment. Use strong passwords on your account and make it a habit to log out. Protecting minors is everyone's responsibility.

Don't Hesitate to Ask for Help

Gaming addiction is a real problem, and acknowledging it takes courage. If you feel gaming is getting out of your control, seek professional help promptly. Mental health services and counseling are becoming increasingly accessible in Bangladesh. Talk to someone you trust — a family member, friend, or professional counselor. Asking for help is not a weakness; it is the most powerful step you can take to care for yourself.

Recognize the Warning Signs

There are signs that indicate gaming is crossing the line from entertainment into a problem. Recognizing these signs early makes it easier to take the right steps.

  • Going Beyond the Set Time and Budget

    Repeatedly spending more time or money than planned is an important warning sign.

  • Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming

    Feeling irritable or uncomfortable when you can't play may be a sign of addiction.

  • Neglecting Work, Studies, or Relationships

    Neglecting daily responsibilities or spending less time with loved ones because of gaming.

  • Placing Bigger Bets to Recover Losses

    Repeatedly returning with a "just one more" mindset after a loss is a dangerous pattern.

  • Lying to family or friends about your gaming

    Hiding or denying your gaming habits indicates the depth of the problem.

How 89 bd Supports You

We are more than just a gaming platform — we want you to stay healthy and happy. That is why 89 bd follows a number of practical tools and policies.

Setting Deposit & Bet Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits from your account settings. Once set, limits take effect immediately, and a waiting period applies before they can be increased. This feature helps you stay in control of your finances. Bet limits can also be set separately to prevent excessive risk-taking. Detailed instructions for these settings are available in the profile guide.

Self-Exclusion & Break Options

If you feel you need a break, you can temporarily suspend your account for a set period of time. Through the self-exclusion option, breaks ranging from 24 hours to long-term periods are available. During this time, no marketing messages will be sent and you will not be able to log in to your account. Only return when you feel truly ready. We respect you for making this decision.

Gaming History & Spending Report

A full report of your gaming history and financial transactions is available in your account. Reviewing this information lets you see exactly how much time and money you are spending. Transparency is our core principle — every transaction is secure and trackable. Regularly reviewing these reports is an important habit for responsible gaming. You can download this information for your records if needed.
