Play Smart. Stay in Control.
At 79db, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core commitment. We provide every player in Bangladesh with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to keep gaming a safe, enjoyable experience.
Gaming Should Be Fun — Not a Financial Burden
79db is Bangladesh's trusted online gaming platform, and we take our responsibility to players seriously. Gambling, when approached with clear limits and a healthy mindset, is an entertaining leisure activity enjoyed by millions across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and beyond. However, we also recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can become problematic. That is why every 79db account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming tools available to use at any time — no questions asked.
Our Responsible Gaming framework is built on four pillars: awareness, control, prevention, and support. We believe informed players make better decisions. We believe control over your own spending and time is a right, not a privilege. We believe early intervention prevents real harm. And we believe every player deserves compassionate, judgment-free support when they need it most.
This page explains the tools and policies 79db has in place, what warning signs to watch for, how to conduct a quick self-assessment, and how to reach out if you or someone you know needs help. All features described here can be activated instantly through the 79db platform or by contacting our support team at [email protected].
Please remember: the 79db platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. If you are under 21, you must not register or use the platform. If you are a parent or guardian in Bangladesh, we encourage you to install parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling content on shared devices.
Built-In Controls, Available 24/7
Every tool below is available free of charge to all 79db players. Access them via your account settings or by contacting our support team at any hour.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be reduced instantly but require a 24-hour cooling period to increase — keeping impulsive spending in check.
Session Time Limits
Define how long a single gaming session can last — for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. When your session time is reached, the platform will alert you and prompt you to take a break. This helps prevent long, unplanned gaming stretches that can creep up on even the most disciplined players.
Time-Out / Cool-Off
Take a short break from 79db without permanently closing your account. Time-out periods are available from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, your account is fully suspended — no deposits, no bets, and no marketing communications. Your account and balance are safely preserved.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a more significant break, self-exclusion lets you close your 79db account for a defined period (minimum 6 months) or permanently. Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed until the chosen period expires. All marketing will stop immediately and your account will be inaccessible.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you are willing to lose over a set period. Once your loss limit is reached, further wagers are blocked for the remainder of that period. This tool is particularly useful for sports betting players during high-frequency events like the BPL, IPL, or T20 World Cup matches.
Activity Statements
Request a detailed statement of your gaming activity — deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, wins, losses, and time spent on the platform. Reviewing your activity statement regularly is one of the most effective habits you can build to maintain an honest, clear view of your gambling behaviour.
When Does Gambling Become a Problem?
Problem gambling does not always look obvious. Below are common warning signs that may indicate gambling is shifting from entertainment to a harmful habit. If you recognise several of these in yourself or someone close to you, it is time to seek help.
Chasing Losses
Placing increasingly larger bets to try to recover money already lost, rather than accepting losses as a normal part of gambling.
Concealing Behaviour
Hiding the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues out of embarrassment or fear of judgment.
Mood Dependency
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling, or using gambling as a primary coping mechanism for stress, boredom, or negative emotions.
Borrowing to Gamble
Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit cards to fund gambling activity — especially when basic living expenses are being compromised.
Loss of Time Awareness
Spending far more time gambling than originally intended, repeatedly failing to stick to self-imposed time limits, or losing track of time entirely while playing.
Neglecting Responsibilities
Gambling interfering with work, study, family commitments, or social relationships — choosing to gamble instead of attending to important daily responsibilities.
Take a Moment to Check In With Yourself
Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we strongly recommend activating one of our player protection tools or speaking with our support team.
Responsible Gaming Self-Check
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you planned to in a single session?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings in order to fund your gambling?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently, even when you are not playing?
Have you ever tried to reduce or stop gambling but found it difficult to do so?
Has gambling caused arguments, tension, or concern among your family members or close friends?
Do you gamble to escape from problems, stress, loneliness, or difficult feelings rather than for entertainment?
Have you ever continued gambling in an attempt to win back money that you had already lost?
Have you felt the need to hide or minimise how much you gamble from people you care about?
If You Answered "Yes" to Three or More Questions
This does not mean you have a gambling disorder — but it does suggest that gambling may be causing some stress or harm in your life. We strongly encourage you to activate our self-exclusion or time-out tools immediately, and to reach out to our support team at [email protected]. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and all conversations are handled with complete confidentiality and zero judgment. Taking the first step is the hardest part — we are here to help.
