What does responsible gaming mean?

Responsible Gaming means treating gambling purely as entertainment — not as a solution to financial problems or a source of income. At a89, we want you to always play in control, ensuring that gaming has no negative impact on your daily life.

It's not always easy to tell when casual entertainment becomes a problem. a89 helps you recognize that line and take the right steps if needed. On our platform, responsible gaming isn't just a policy — it's built into everything we do.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. That's why a89 believes building a culture of responsible play is now more important than ever. We don't just offer games — we invest in creating a healthy gaming environment. Keep yourself safe. Keep your family safe.

  • Always treat gaming as entertainment, not as a way to make money.
  • Set a budget before you play and stick to it.
  • Don't chase losses by placing bigger bets to try to win back what you've lost.
  • Take regular breaks and spend quality time with family and friends.
  • Never play under stress or while under the influence of substances.

Keep in mind: All responsible gaming tools at a89 are free and can be activated at any time.

A89's Responsible Gaming Tools

We give you the most up-to-date tools to keep your gaming in check — all completely free.

Set a Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased without 24 hours' notice, though decreases take effect immediately.

Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each session before you start. Once the limit is reached, a89 will notify you automatically and can close your session if needed.

Loss Limit

If your losses exceed a set amount, a89 will automatically pause your gaming session. This is the most effective way to limit financial harm.

Cooling-Off Period

If you need a short break, you can pause your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. You won't be able to log in during this period — but your account and balance stay safe.

Self-Exclusion

For a longer break, self-exclusion is available from 6 months up to 5 years. During this period, no new accounts can be opened and all promotional communications will be stopped.

Promotion Opt-Out

If you'd rather not receive bonus offers or promotional messages, you can opt out at any time — one click in your account settings is all it takes.

Build Healthy Gaming Habits

Small habit changes can make a big difference. Follow the tips below.

Budget First, Play Second

Decide how much you're willing to spend before you start. Once that amount is gone, stop — whether you're winning or losing.

Track Your Time

Set a timer on your phone. Every hour, get up, take a short walk, and drink some water. It's best to keep gaming sessions under 2 hours.

Stay Calm, Not Impulsive

Don't play when you're angry, sad, stressed, or after drinking. Your judgment is more likely to be impaired in these states.

Spend Time with Family

Gaming can never replace time with family or friends. Keep your relationships healthy.

Treat Winnings as a Bonus

Play for fun, not to win. When you do win, it's a bonus — if you don't, the entertainment alone was worth it.

Recognize the Warning Signs

Problem gambling has clear warning signs. If you notice any of these in yourself or someone close to you, don't wait — seek help.

Financial Strain: You are spending money meant for your own or your family's daily needs on gaming, or taking on debt to fund it.

Relationship strain: Gaming is straining your relationships with family, friends, or colleagues.

Hiding behavior: You're keeping the amount of time or money you spend on gaming hidden from your family.

Loss of control: You want to stop but can't — "just one more round" turns into hours.

Low mood: Not being able to play leaves you feeling restless, irritable, or low — as if gaming is your only source of enjoyment.

Neglecting Responsibilities: Gaming is getting in the way of work, studies, or your everyday responsibilities.

Sleep Problems: You are staying up late to play and feeling tired and unfocused during the day.

Chasing Losses: You keep placing larger bets in hopes of winning back the money you've lost.

Needing More: You need to place increasingly larger bets to feel the same level of excitement.

Watch for these signs: Make the decision yourself or with help from a loved one. a89's support team and professional counselors are ready to assist you. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
