Responsible Gaming
at b89bd
At b89bd, we believe that gaming should always be an enjoyable, controlled activity — never a source of distress or financial hardship. Our responsible gaming programme provides every player in Bangladesh with the tools, resources, and support they need to keep their gameplay fun, safe, and well within their personal limits.
Our Responsible Gaming Pledge
Why Responsible Gaming Matters to Us
b89bd is built on the principle that sustainable, enjoyable entertainment is only possible when players are empowered with the right safeguards. The six principles below guide every responsible gaming decision we make at b89bd.
Player Protection First
Every feature, policy, and tool on the b89bd platform is designed with player wellbeing as the top priority. We actively monitor account behaviour for signs of problem gambling and intervene proactively — not reactively — when patterns of concern emerge.
Strict 21+ Age Policy
Gambling at b89bd is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We conduct mandatory identity and age verification for every new account registered on our platform. Accounts found to belong to minors are closed immediately and all funds returned. This is non-negotiable.
Full Transparency on Odds
b89bd displays all game return-to-player (RTP) percentages and cricket betting odds in a clear, straightforward manner. We never obscure the mathematical reality of gambling: the house always holds a statistical edge, and gambling should never be viewed as a reliable source of income.
Player-Controlled Limits
Our platform gives you direct control over your spending and play time. You can set deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, and session duration limits at any time via your account dashboard. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases are subject to a 48-hour cooling-off period.
Reality Check Reminders
b89bd's platform automatically displays reality check pop-up notifications at regular intervals during active gaming sessions, reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These reminders can be scheduled at 15, 30, or 60-minute intervals in your account settings.
Compassionate Support
If you ever feel that gambling is having a negative impact on your life — financially, emotionally, or in your relationships — our support team is here to listen without judgement. Contact us any time at [email protected] and we will connect you with appropriate resources and protective tools on the same day.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
b89bd provides a comprehensive suite of account management tools that put you in charge of your own gambling behaviour. All of the following tools are available directly from your account dashboard and can be activated at any time without delay.
These controls are free, permanent features of every b89bd account — no need to request them from support. Limit reductions and self-exclusion take effect immediately. If you need help navigating these settings, our 24/7 support team is available via email at [email protected].

- Medium-term exclusion: 3 months to 12 months
- Permanent self-exclusion with no reversal option
- Immediate effect — account locked instantly
- All pending withdrawals processed during exclusion
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, background, or experience. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step towards regaining control. If you identify with any of the patterns below, please reach out to our support team or use b89bd's self-exclusion tools immediately.
Chasing LossesContinuing to gamble to try to win back money you have already lost, even when it means spending beyond your planned budget.
Losing Track of TimeSpending significantly more time gambling than intended, or finding that hours have passed without awareness during play sessions.
Neglecting ResponsibilitiesGambling instead of attending to work, family, or social obligations. Using time set aside for other responsibilities to gamble instead.
Borrowing to GambleTaking out loans, borrowing from family or friends, or using credit to fund gambling activity — especially to cover previous gambling losses.
Gambling to CopeUsing gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other difficult emotions rather than as pure entertainment.
Hiding Gambling ActivityConcealing the extent of your gambling from family members or close friends, or feeling the need to lie about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
Escalating StakesFeeling the need to gamble with larger and larger amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement or satisfaction from the activity.
Failed Attempts to StopMaking repeated, genuine attempts to cut back on or stop gambling entirely but finding yourself unable to follow through on those decisions.
Ask Yourself These Questions
The following questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your relationship with gambling. There are no right or wrong answers — this is purely a personal checklist to help you gauge whether your gambling habits remain healthy and under control.
If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use b89bd's self-exclusion or deposit limit tools, or to contact our support team to discuss how we can help.
This assessment is not a clinical diagnosis. If you are concerned about your gambling or its impact on your mental health, please seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional or gambling support organisation.
