In Responsible Gaming The 6 Pillars of a89

A89 is always here to ensure your gaming experience stays healthy, enjoyable, and in control.

Spending Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. No transactions beyond the set limit are possible — it's the first step in protecting your finances.

Time Limits & Breaks

Track how long you have been playing. Use the auto-break feature after a set period. Regular breaks are essential for healthy gaming habits.

Self-Exclusion Feature

Self-exclude for anywhere from 7 days to permanently whenever you need to. During this period, no promotional messages will be sent — your decision is fully respected.

Age Verification System

Age verification is mandatory when registering at a89. No one under 18 is permitted to use the platform — this is a non-negotiable policy.

Gaming Behavior Monitoring

Our system automatically detects unusual gaming patterns and alerts members when needed. Your well-being is our priority.

Professional Support Centers

If you're going through a difficult time, reach out to our 24/7 support team. Our trained staff are always ready to offer the right guidance and assistance.

What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?

Responsible gaming means using gaming as a healthy form of entertainment — not as a way to earn money or relieve stress. At a89, we believe gaming is most enjoyable when it is controlled, mindful, and planned.

Millions of people in Bangladesh enjoy online gaming for entertainment. But when it goes beyond healthy limits, it can lead to financial and family problems. a89 is committed to preventing those issues before they start.

Our responsible gaming policy is more than a set of rules — it is a sincere commitment to our members. Our goal is for every member to have a healthy and enjoyable gaming experience.

Keep in Mind: Gaming is for entertainment. Placing larger bets to chase losses is never the right decision.

Recognizing the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling often develops gradually. Watch out for the signs below — if any of them apply to you, don't wait to seek help:

  • Spending more on gaming than your budget allows
  • Repeatedly raising bets to try to recover losses
  • Lying to family or friends about your gaming
  • Unable to stop gaming even when you want to
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities
  • Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gaming
  • Telling yourself "just one more time" but unable to stop

Warning: If you identify with more than three of the signs above, contact our support team immediately or activate the self-exclusion feature.

In the past month, have you spent more money on gaming than you planned?

2

Have you tried to stop gaming and failed?

3

Have you hidden your gaming from family or people close to you?

4

Have you placed bigger bets trying to win back money you've lost?

5

Has gaming caused problems with your work, sleep, or relationships?

6

Have you felt mentally uncomfortable or restless when you were unable to game?

Result: If you answered "Yes" to more than 3 questions, now is the right time to start using the responsible gaming tools.

A89 Responsible Gaming Tools

A89 has built a set of practical tools to make responsible play easier for its members. All of these can be activated at any time from your account settings:

Deposit Limit

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit that works for you. Lowering the limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period — a built-in safeguard against impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long each gaming session will last. Once the time is up, the system will automatically send you a reminder and can end the session if needed.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Self-suspend your account for anywhere between 1 day and 6 weeks. You won't be able to log in during this time, but your account balance will remain safe.

Self-Exclusion

If you need longer-term support, you can suspend your account for anywhere from 6 months to permanently. While self-exclusion is active, no promotions or bonus offers will be sent to you, and any attempt to open a new account will be blocked.

How to activate: Log in to your account → Settings → Responsible Gaming → select your preferred tool. If you need help, email [email protected] directly.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Safe Gaming

Follow the steps below to get started with responsible gaming:

1
Set a Budget

Before you start playing, decide how much you are comfortable spending. This should be money you can afford to lose — never funds set aside for living expenses or savings.

2
Set a Time Limit

Set a daily time limit for gaming before you start. Use a phone alarm or a89's session timer to keep yourself on track.

3
Stop When You Lose

The "I'll win it all back" mindset is the most dangerous one. Once your budget is gone, stop gaming for the day.

4
Don't make decisions based on emotion

Avoid placing large bets when you're stressed, upset, or emotionally charged. If you're not in a calm headspace, it's best to skip gaming for the day.

5
Take Regular Breaks

Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, drink some water, take a short walk — it keeps your decision-making sharp.

6
Tell Someone You Trust

Let a family member or trusted friend know about your gaming habits. An outside perspective can often help catch problems before they escalate.

Minor Protection

A89 strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from using the platform. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and any account under suspicion will have its access suspended pending verification.

Our advice for parents:

  • Use parental control software on your computer or mobile device.
  • Keep your login credentials away from your children.
  • Educate children about online safety.
  • If you have any suspicions, contact us at [email protected] and we'll look into it.

Important Notice: If an account belonging to someone under 18 is identified, it will be permanently closed and any deposited funds will be returned through the appropriate legal process.
