Responsible Gaming at 89gd — Play Within Your Limits
At 89gd, we believe gambling should always be entertaining — never stressful or harmful. This page explains the tools, resources, and safeguards we provide to help every player in Bangladesh stay in control of their gaming activity.
Our Commitment
Our Commitment to Safe Play
89gd is not just a betting platform — we are a responsible gaming operator. Protecting the wellbeing of every player on our platform is a core part of how we do business, not an afterthought.
Gambling — whether it is cricket betting during the Bangladesh Premier League, spinning slots from Pragmatic Play, or playing live Baccarat — is meant to be a form of entertainment. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risks when it is not approached with clear boundaries and a healthy mindset. The vast majority of 89gd players in Bangladesh enjoy their time on the platform recreationally and never experience difficulties. But for a minority of players, gambling can become a source of financial strain, stress, and harm — to themselves and to those around them.
89gd takes this reality seriously. We operate a suite of responsible gaming tools that give every player the ability to set hard limits on their own behaviour, take breaks when needed, and exit the platform entirely if gambling is no longer serving them well. These tools are available to all players at any time, free of charge, directly from within the account dashboard — no waiting period, no approval process required.
We also invest in staff training so that our 24/7 live chat support team is equipped to handle sensitive conversations about problem gambling with care, confidentiality, and empathy. If you contact us about a gambling concern, you will be heard and helped — not redirected or dismissed.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your 89gd account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Increases to a limit take 24 hours to take effect — decreases apply immediately.
Session Time Limits
Define the maximum duration of a single gaming session. When your time limit is reached, 89gd will display a clear on-screen reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out of the platform.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from gambling by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 7 days. During this time your account is suspended for gaming activity. The cool-off cannot be reversed once set.
Self-Exclusion
Request a formal self-exclusion for periods of 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Your account is locked for all gaming and wagering activity for the full duration of the exclusion.
Reality Check Alerts
Enable periodic pop-up notifications during gaming sessions that display how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session, keeping you grounded in the reality of your activity.
Activity History
Review a full, transparent record of your deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and session durations at any time from your account dashboard. Knowledge of your own patterns is a powerful responsible gaming tool.
Age Policy
18+ Age Restriction Policy
Every player who registers an account at 89gd is required to confirm at the point of registration that they are 18 years of age or older. This declaration is a binding part of the account creation process. Beyond the self-declaration, 89gd conducts identity verification (KYC) checks that include confirmation of date of birth against a valid government-issued identity document, such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID).
Where our compliance team identifies an account that may be held by a minor — through information submitted during KYC, through a report from a third party, or through monitoring of account activity — that account will be suspended immediately pending a full investigation. The investigation will involve a request for additional identity documentation. If the account holder cannot demonstrate that they meet the 18+ requirement, the account will be permanently closed.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor in your household has opened an account at 89gd, please contact our support team via live chat immediately. We will act on your report promptly, in strict confidence, and at no cost to you.
Player Tools
How to Use Our Responsible Gaming Tools
All responsible gaming tools are available directly within your 89gd account dashboard. Here is how to access and apply each tool in four simple steps.
-
1Log in to your 89gd account Access the 89gd platform through your browser or mobile device and log in with your username and password. All responsible gaming settings are managed from within your account — you do not need to contact support to apply most limits.
-
2Navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming From the main account menu, select the Responsible Gaming section. This is where all player-controlled tools are housed — deposit limits, session time limits, cool-off periods, reality check alerts, and the self-exclusion request form.
-
3Set your chosen limit or tool Select the tool you wish to activate. For deposit limits, enter your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly cap. For session time limits, choose the maximum session duration. For cool-off or self-exclusion, select the period that feels right for your situation. All settings are confirmed with a clear on-screen summary before they take effect.
-
4Confirm — limits take effect immediately Restrictive changes (reducing a limit, activating a cool-off, or initiating self-exclusion) take effect immediately upon confirmation. Permissive changes (increasing a deposit limit) are subject to a mandatory 24-hour delay. This delay protects players who may be making an impulsive decision during a losing session.
Need Help Applying a Limit?
If you are having difficulty locating the responsible gaming tools in your account, or if you would prefer to set a limit through our support team rather than doing so yourself, our 24/7 live chat agents can apply the restriction on your behalf immediately — with complete confidentiality. You do not need to give a reason to request a limit or exclusion.
Know the Signs
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the warning signs early — in yourself or in someone close to you — is the first and most important step toward getting things back under control.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, rather than accepting the loss.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce or stop your gambling activity.
Hiding your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues, or lying about how much time or money you spend gambling.
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds earmarked for bills, rent, or household expenses in order to fund gambling.
Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties, rather than for entertainment.
Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal relationships because of the time or mental energy consumed by gambling.
Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling, despite recognising that it is causing harm.
Recognising These Signs in Yourself?
If two or more of the signs above feel familiar, we strongly encourage you to use one of the responsible gaming tools available in your 89gd account — or to contact our support team to discuss your options. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our team handles all such conversations with complete confidentiality and genuine care.
Self-Exclusion
Self-Exclusion & Account Closure
Self-exclusion is the most robust tool available to players who feel that gambling has become — or is at risk of becoming — a problem. When you self-exclude from 89gd, your account is locked for all gaming and wagering activity for the full duration of the exclusion period you have chosen. You will not be able to log in to place bets, spin slots, or access casino games. Any pending bets placed before the exclusion was activated will be settled normally; no new wagers will be accepted.
Available self-exclusion periods:
- 30 days (short-term break)
- 90 days (three-month break)
- 6 months
- 12 months (one year)
- Permanent self-exclusion (indefinite — account closure)
Self-exclusion is irrevocable for the duration of the selected period. If you choose a 90-day exclusion, you cannot reverse or lift it after 30 days because you are feeling better — the full 90-day period must expire before your account can be reactivated. This is intentional: it is a protective mechanism designed to prevent impulsive reversal during a difficult moment.
Permanent self-exclusion results in the permanent closure of your 89gd account. Your account data is retained in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable anti-money laundering regulations, but you will not be able to create a new account at 89gd using the same identity documents. If you attempt to re-register, our compliance team will identify the match and close the new account.
Marketing communications are suppressed immediately upon activation of any self-exclusion period. You will not receive promotional emails, SMS messages, or bonus notifications while excluded. If you receive any marketing material from 89gd during an active self-exclusion, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and correct the issue.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
- Log in to your 89gd account and navigate to Settings > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion.
- Select the exclusion duration that best fits your situation.
- Review the confirmation screen, which explains what the exclusion covers and its duration.
- Confirm your choice — the exclusion takes effect immediately upon confirmation.
- Alternatively, contact our live chat support team and request self-exclusion verbally — the agent will apply it to your account in real time.
Support Resources
Getting Help & Support Resources
If you believe gambling is negatively affecting your life — financially, emotionally, or in terms of your relationships — please do not hesitate to reach out. 89gd's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat in your account dashboard. All conversations about problem gambling are handled with strict confidentiality by trained support staff. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out — early conversations are far more effective than waiting until a situation has escalated.
Beyond the tools and team at 89gd, we encourage players in Bangladesh who feel they need independent support to speak with a trusted person in their life — a family member, friend, or community leader — about their concerns. Social support networks are one of the most effective protective factors against the development of serious gambling problems.
If gambling-related stress is affecting your mental health or causing significant distress, please consider speaking with a qualified mental health professional. Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other major cities in Bangladesh have professional counselling services available. Your primary care doctor can provide a referral if needed.
89gd Support — Available 24/7
Contact us at any time via live chat in your account dashboard. Request a deposit limit, cool-off period, or self-exclusion. Ask for an account activity report. Discuss a gambling concern in complete confidence. Our support email is displayed in the footer of this page — mark your message "Responsible Gaming" for priority handling.
Practical Steps If Gambling Is Becoming a Problem
- Set a deposit limit in your 89gd account today — start with an amount you are genuinely comfortable losing.
- Activate reality check alerts so you receive session duration reminders while playing.
- Talk to someone you trust about how gambling has been making you feel.
- Use a cool-off period to create space between you and the impulse to gamble.
- If you feel you cannot stop without help, request a self-exclusion immediately — it is available right now in your account settings.
- Seek professional support if gambling-related stress is affecting your daily life, work, or family relationships.
Minors & Child Safety
Protecting Minors
89gd is an adult-only platform. Protecting children and young people from accessing gambling services is a responsibility that 89gd shares with parents, guardians, and the wider community. While 89gd enforces strict age verification at the point of registration and through ongoing KYC checks, we recognise that parents and guardians also play a vital role in managing what content is accessible in the home.
Parental controls and filtering software. We recommend that households with children use parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites on shared devices. Filtering tools can be set up on home routers, individual devices, and mobile phones. If you share a device with younger family members, ensure that your 89gd account is never left logged in and that your login credentials are not stored in a location that a young person might access.
Reporting underage account use. If you are a parent or guardian who suspects or knows that a minor has created an account at 89gd, please contact our compliance team immediately via live chat or by email at the address listed in the footer. We will investigate the report promptly, close the account if the report is substantiated, and return any deposited funds to the original payment source. All reports of underage access are treated as the highest priority.
Talking to young people about gambling. Open conversation is one of the most effective protective tools available to families. Young people in Bangladesh are exposed to sports betting advertising and peer conversation about gambling. Talking frankly with teenagers and young adults about the risks of gambling — and the fact that it is strictly an adult activity — significantly reduces the likelihood of problem gambling developing in later life.
