Responsible Gaming at
bd189 — Play Smart, Stay Safe
At bd189, we believe that gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never stress, financial strain, or harm. Our responsible gaming programme provides every Bangladesh player with the tools, guidance, and support they need to stay in control at all times.
Gaming Should Always Be Fun
bd189 is committed to maintaining a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for every player on our platform. We understand that while the vast majority of our players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and across Bangladesh enjoy bd189 as a form of recreation, a small number of individuals may develop problematic gambling behaviours at some point in their lives. Our responsibility is to do everything within our power to prevent harm and to provide real, practical support when it is needed.
This Responsible Gaming page outlines the concrete tools and controls available to every registered bd189 account holder, the warning signs of problem gambling that you or someone you care about should be aware of, and the steps you can take — right now — to seek help. We have made these tools as easy to access as possible: many can be activated within minutes by contacting our support team via live chat at [email protected].
bd189 operates on a strict 21+ age restriction policy. No person under the age of 21 is permitted to register or play on the bd189 platform under any circumstances. Mandatory age and identity verification checks are applied to all accounts, and any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended. We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms.
Our responsible gaming programme is not a legal formality — it is a genuine commitment. The tools described on this page are available to every bd189 player at no cost, at any time, with no penalties for using them. We encourage all players to read this page carefully and to use these tools proactively — not only when a problem has already developed.
Six Pillars of Player Protection at bd189
Every bd189 player has access to the following responsible gaming features. They are free, immediate, and available around the clock — all you need to do is reach out to our support team.
Set a maximum deposit amount over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your limit is reached, bd189 will not process any further deposits until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately but take 72 hours to increase, giving you time to reconsider.
Take a short break from the bd189 platform for a period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended for gaming and deposits. You may still contact support or request a withdrawal of remaining funds.
Permanently or semi-permanently exclude yourself from the bd189 platform for a minimum of 6 months or up to 5 years. During self-exclusion, your account is fully closed, all marketing communications are stopped, and re-registration attempts are blocked.
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a set time period. When your loss limit is reached, bd189 will automatically suspend further gameplay for that period. This tool helps you budget your entertainment spend responsibly.
Set an alert to remind you how long you have been playing in a single session. bd189 can notify you after 30, 60, or 90 minutes of continuous play, helping you stay aware of the time you are spending on the platform.
Receive periodic on-screen notifications showing your net session result — wins and losses — so you always have a clear, real-time picture of how your session is going. Reality checks are a simple but powerful tool for maintaining perspective during extended play.
Activating Your Responsible Gaming Controls
All responsible gaming tools at bd189 can be activated quickly and easily. Here is a step-by-step guide for each of the main controls available to registered players in Bangladesh.
Setting a Deposit Limit
Available to all registered bd189 players
To set a deposit limit on your bd189 account, contact our support team via live chat or email us at [email protected]. State the limit amount in Taka (৳) and the period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Our team will apply the limit to your account within minutes and send you a confirmation.
- Lowering a limit: Takes effect immediately
- Increasing a limit: 72-hour cooling-off period applies
- Removing a limit: 72-hour cooling-off period applies
- Minimum limit: ৳500 per day
Requesting a Time-Out
Short-term break from the platform
A time-out suspends your bd189 account for a defined short period so you can step back without permanently closing your account. Contact support via live chat and request a time-out, specifying the duration you need.
- Available durations: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 30 days
- Effect: No deposits, no gameplay — withdrawals still permitted
- Marketing: All promotional messages paused during time-out
- Re-activation: Automatic at end of period; cannot be cancelled early
Self-Exclusion
Long-term or permanent account closure
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available at bd189. Once activated, your account is fully closed, and bd189 will take reasonable steps to prevent you from opening a new account during the exclusion period.
- Minimum period: 6 months
- Maximum period: 5 years (or permanent exclusion)
- Effect: Full account closure, all marketing stopped, re-registration blocked
- Funds: Any remaining balance will be returned to your verified payment method
- Reversal: Cannot be reversed during the exclusion period — by design
Loss Limits and Session Controls
Budget and time management tools
Loss limits and session time reminders work together to help you stay within your personal entertainment budget and avoid extended unplanned gaming sessions. Both tools can be set and adjusted by contacting bd189 support.
- Loss limit periods: Daily, weekly, or monthly
- Session reminders: At 30, 60, or 90 minutes of continuous play
- Reality checks: Every 30 minutes, showing net session result
- Lowering limits: Immediate effect
- Increasing limits: 72-hour cooling-off period applies
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious at first. The following signs may indicate that gambling has become a problem for you or someone close to you. If you recognise several of these in yourself or a loved one, please seek help immediately.
Quick Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Answer the following questions honestly to help you assess whether your relationship with gambling remains healthy. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a personal reflection exercise to help you check in with yourself.
Are You Gambling Responsibly?
Ask yourself the following questions. If your honest answer to two or more is "Yes", we strongly encourage you to contact bd189 support or activate one of our responsible gaming controls.
Strict 21+ Age Policy at bd189
Protecting young people from online gambling is one of bd189's highest priorities. Our 21+ age restriction is enforced at multiple points throughout the account lifecycle.
How bd189 Verifies Age
Multi-layer age verification process
bd189 applies a multi-layer approach to age verification to ensure that only adults aged 21 and above can access the platform:
- Registration declaration: All registrants must confirm they are 21 or older during account creation
- KYC document verification: All accounts must submit a government-issued photo ID (National ID card or passport) confirming date of birth before withdrawals are processed
- Third-party identity checks: bd189 uses regulated KYC verification providers to cross-check submitted identity documents for authenticity
- Ongoing monitoring: Accounts displaying patterns inconsistent with adult behaviour may be flagged for enhanced verification
- Zero tolerance: Any account confirmed as belonging to a person under 21 is immediately and permanently closed, with all funds withheld pending investigation
You Are Not Alone — Help Is Available
If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem, or if you simply want to talk through your options, the bd189 support team is available around the clock and ready to help — without judgment.
