Responsible Gaming at 89bd1 — Your Wellbeing Comes First
89bd1 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for all players in Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming programme gives you the tools and knowledge to stay in control — because playing should always be fun, not stressful.
Our Commitment
Gambling Should Always Be a Choice, Not a Compulsion
At 89bd1, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player who joins our platform. While the vast majority of our players in Bangladesh enjoy cricket betting, slots, live casino, and fishing games purely for entertainment, we recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can develop into a problem that affects their finances, relationships, and mental health.
That is why responsible gaming is not an afterthought at 89bd1 — it is built directly into the platform. From the moment you register, you have access to a full suite of self-management tools that let you set your own boundaries, take a break when you need one, or remove yourself from the platform entirely if gambling is no longer serving your wellbeing.
Our responsible gaming policy applies to all registered users without exception. Whether you are betting on BPL cricket from Dhaka, playing slots from Chittagong, or trying your luck at the live casino from Cox's Bazar, the same protections and tools are available to you at all times.
89bd1 enforces a strict minimum age policy of 21 years for all players. Age verification is a mandatory step before any withdrawal can be processed, and accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be immediately suspended and all funds frozen pending investigation.

Self-Management Tools
Six Tools That Keep You in Control
Every registered 89bd1 player has access to these responsible gaming features at any time. Contact live chat or email us to activate any tool — most take effect immediately.
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately; increases take 7 days to come into effect — a deliberate cooling-off buffer that puts your long-term wellbeing ahead of short-term impulse. Limits are denominated in BDT and apply across all deposit methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and bank transfer.
Define how long you can remain logged in to 89bd1 in any single session. Once your time limit is reached, the platform automatically logs you out and displays a responsible gaming reminder. You can set session limits ranging from 30 minutes to 8 hours per day. Session time tracking resets at midnight Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6). This tool is especially useful for players who find it easy to lose track of time while enjoying cricket betting or live casino games.
Take a structured short break from 89bd1 without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods are available in durations of 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Promotional communications are also paused for the duration. At the end of the period your account is automatically reactivated — no action needed on your part unless you wish to extend the break.
Self-exclusion is a permanent or long-term suspension of your 89bd1 account, available in 6-month, 1-year, 3-year, or permanent durations. Once activated, your account is immediately locked and you will not be able to log in for the full duration. Any pending withdrawals of verified funds will be processed to your registered payment method. Self-exclusion records are maintained for 7 years as required by our responsible gaming policy. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. If you feel gambling has become a serious problem, self-exclusion is the right step.
Marketing messages about bonuses, promotions, and new game launches can be tempting at the wrong moment. You can opt out of all promotional communications from 89bd1 at any time — including SMS notifications, email campaigns, and in-platform bonus pop-ups. Opt-out takes effect within 24 hours of your request. Opting out of promotions does not affect your ability to play or access your account; it simply means you will no longer receive messages that might encourage additional spending when you are trying to moderate your play.
Request a full account activity statement at any time, covering your betting history, deposit and withdrawal records, session durations, and net win/loss figures over any period you specify. Activity statements are delivered to your registered email address within 24 hours. Reviewing your actual spending data can be a powerful reality check — many players find that seeing their real numbers helps them make more informed decisions about their gambling habits going forward.
Know the Signs
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following warning signs are widely recognised by gambling support organisations. If you identify with several of these, it may be time to use one of 89bd1's self-management tools or reach out for professional support.
Chasing Losses: Continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often with larger stakes than you originally intended.
Spending Beyond Your Means: Betting money that is earmarked for essential expenses such as rent, utility bills, groceries, or mobile recharge.
Inability to Stop: Feeling unable to stop playing even when you want to, or after promising yourself or others that you would quit for the day.
Gambling to Escape: Using gambling as a primary coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, or personal problems.
Concealing Gambling Activity: Hiding the amount of money or time you spend gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.
Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, study, family commitments, or other important obligations because of time or energy spent gambling.
Borrowing to Fund Gambling: Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit to fund betting activity rather than from disposable income.
Mood Swings Around Gambling: Experiencing significant irritability, anxiety, or restlessness when not gambling, or when attempting to cut down your activity.
Self-Assessment
Ask Yourself These Questions
Answer honestly. If you find yourself answering "yes" to three or more of the following, we strongly encourage you to contact our responsible gaming team or activate a cooling-off period immediately.
Have you ever bet more than you could comfortably afford to lose in a single session?
Have you ever felt the need to bet with larger and larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?
Have you ever returned to gambling the day after a loss in order to try to win your money back?
Have you ever lied to someone close to you about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, studies, or an important family event in the past 12 months?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings to fund gambling activity?
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or low in mood when you go a few days without gambling?
Have you ever tried and failed to reduce or stop your gambling on your own?

Account Protection
How 89bd1 Protects You Behind the Scenes
Beyond the tools you activate yourself, 89bd1 runs a set of platform-level safeguards that work automatically to protect every player.
Our platform continuously monitors account activity for patterns associated with problem gambling — sudden large increases in deposit amounts, extended unbroken sessions, or rapid loss-chasing sequences. When these patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team reviews the account and may proactively reach out to the player.
All players must complete identity and age verification before processing any withdrawal. This KYC process confirms that every player is aged 21 or above and is the genuine owner of the payment methods associated with their account — protecting minors and preventing identity theft simultaneously.
For players who have not set a session limit, 89bd1 automatically displays an on-screen reminder after every 60 minutes of continuous play. The reminder shows how long you have been logged in and how much you have deposited in the current session, giving you a moment to assess before continuing.
Once a self-exclusion is activated, 89bd1 takes active steps to prevent re-registration using the same identity or payment details. Our team will also remove your contact information from all marketing lists for the duration of the exclusion and for 12 months following its expiry.
Platform Commitments
What 89bd1 Commits to Every Player
Responsible gaming is a two-way relationship. Here is what 89bd1 commits to on its side of that relationship, regardless of who you are or how much you play.
89bd1 ensures that all games on the platform display accurate Return to Player (RTP) percentages and house edge information. We do not manipulate game outcomes. All slot and casino games use certified random number generators (RNGs) from their respective providers including Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Microgaming.
89bd1 will never send you promotional messages that pressure you to deposit more than you are comfortable with, create artificial urgency around bonus expiry, or target you with offers immediately following a large loss. Our marketing is informational, not manipulative.
We believe fast, reliable withdrawals are part of responsible gaming. When players can access their winnings quickly via bKash, Nagad, or Rocket, they are less likely to reinvest funds they intended to withdraw. 89bd1 processes verified withdrawal requests within 24 hours in most cases.
Every member of the 89bd1 customer support team receives regular training in responsible gaming recognition and response. Our support agents are trained to identify distress signals in player communications and to respond with empathy, accurate information, and practical next steps.
This responsible gaming policy is reviewed and updated at minimum once every 12 months. Reviews incorporate feedback from our player base, developments in gambling harm research, and any changes to best-practice guidelines from international responsible gambling organisations.
Practical Guidance
Tips for Keeping Gambling Fun
Following these straightforward principles will help ensure that your time on 89bd1 remains enjoyable and firmly within your control.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide in advance the maximum amount of BDT you are willing to spend in a session or over a week. Treat this money as the cost of entertainment — the same way you would budget for a cinema trip or a meal out. Never exceed your pre-set budget regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
Set a Time Limit
Decide how long you are going to play before you log in, and stop when the time is up — win or lose. Use 89bd1's session time limit tool to enforce this automatically so that you do not have to rely on willpower alone when you are in the middle of an exciting cricket betting session or slot run.
Play for Fun, Not for Income
Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a financial strategy. The house always has a mathematical edge over time. Treat any winnings as a bonus rather than an expectation, and never gamble with the intention of generating income to cover regular living expenses.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen regularly. Extended unbroken sessions impair judgement and make it harder to stick to your budget. Even a short break — a cup of tea, a walk, or a conversation — can help you return with a clearer perspective on whether you want to continue playing.
Talk to Someone You Trust
If you feel your gambling habits are changing in ways that concern you, talking to a trusted friend, family member, or 89bd1's support team is a positive step. Acknowledging a potential problem early makes it far easier to address. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out.
