Online gaming is a leisure activity — much like watching a film or spending time with friends. Coming to bc89 should be about fun and relaxation. But when gaming starts to affect other areas of your life, it becomes a problem.
Responsible gaming means playing mindfully — knowing your limits, being aware of how much time and money you spend, and being able to stop when needed. bc89 is committed to supporting you every step of the way.
We understand that many people in Bangladesh are coming to online gaming for the first time. That's why bc89 has placed Responsible Gaming at the heart of the platform from day one — not just as a policy, but as a genuine commitment to our members.
What are the signs of problem gambling?
If you notice any of the following signs in yourself, it's time to take action:
- Chasing losses by placing more bets to win back money already lost.
- Unable to stop gaming, causing neglect of family time or work responsibilities.
- Lying about or hiding gaming activity.
- Borrowing money to fund gaming.
- Feeling restless or distressed when unable to play.
- Using gaming as an escape from everyday responsibilities.
If you notice any of these signs, please contact bc89 support or use our self-exclusion tool. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
The Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming
At bc89, we encourage every member to follow a few simple but important guidelines:
- Set a Budget: Decide in advance how much you're willing to spend on gaming each month — and stick to that budget.
- Respect Your Time Limits: Set a daily time limit for how long you play. Use a timer.
- Keep Your Emotions in Check: Avoid gaming when you're feeling angry, sad, or frustrated.
- Accept Losses as Part of the Game: Losses are a normal part of gaming. Don't chase your losses by continuing to play in an attempt to win back what you've lost.
- Gaming isn't the only joy in life: Family, friends, sports — keep plenty of other sources of joy in your life.
- Stay Informed: Use bc89's tools — they're built for you.
The Role of Family
If you think a family member may be struggling with excessive gaming, talk to them openly — with empathy, not judgment. You're also welcome to contact bc89 support directly; we're here to help families too.
Bc89 never pressures members to play more than they want to. Our promotions and offers are designed to encourage entertainment, not addiction.
