98 db Responsible Gaming — A Commitment to Mindful & Healthy Gaming

A truly enjoyable gaming experience is one that is controlled, mindful, and balanced within your everyday life. 98 db believes that the safety and wellbeing of every player is the highest priority.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

98 db is more than a gaming platform — it's a commitment to creating a safe and responsible entertainment environment. We believe gaming should be an enjoyable leisure activity, not a source of financial or emotional stress. That's why we're dedicated to fostering healthy gaming habits for every user. Our platform offers a range of self-control tools that users can activate on their own. 98 db's goal is to build a sustainable, responsible gaming culture where every player feels protected and respected.

Our support team is available 24/7, every day of the week. Reach out to us with any concerns or issues and enjoy gaming responsibly.

Recognise the Signs of Risky Behaviour

Don't wait for a problem to develop — seek help if you notice these signs

Signs of Financial Stress

Chasing losses by placing repeated bets is a serious warning sign. Spending beyond your means or borrowing money to play indicates problematic behavior. Prioritizing gaming over paying bills or covering essential expenses can be the start of a bigger problem. Seeking financial help from family or friends and draining your savings because of gaming are signs that immediate intervention is needed.

Behavioral Changes

Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gaming is a clear warning sign. Feeling restless, irritable, or moody when you can't play may also signal a problem. Lying to or hiding things from family and friends about gaming, and giving up other hobbies or social activities, are cause for concern. If you find yourself cutting back on sleep to game through the night, address it immediately.

Mental Health Warning Signs

Anxiety, frustration, or guilt related to gaming are signs of mental strain. Repeatedly failing to cut back on gaming despite trying may indicate dependency. Using gaming to escape loneliness or real-life problems is not a healthy pattern. If you experience any of these feelings, talk to someone you trust right away or seek professional support.

Set Time and Budget Limits

The foundation of a healthy gaming experience is setting clear limits before you start. Decide how long you'll play and how much you're willing to spend before your session begins. In your 98 db account settings, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits that, once configured, cannot be easily changed. These limits are a powerful tool for your own financial protection. Remember — spending emergency funds or savings in the hope of winning through gaming is never a wise decision.

After each gaming session, take a moment to ask yourself — was today's experience enjoyable? Did I stay within my limits? If the answer is no, it's time to step back for a while.

1

Set a Monthly Budget

Set aside a small portion of your monthly income as an entertainment budget. Keep your gaming spending within that budget and never exceed it under any circumstances. Never use funds earmarked for emergencies, debt repayment, or family needs for gaming.

2

Stick to your daily time limits

Decide in advance how long you'll play each day and stick to that limit strictly. Set an alarm or timer so gaming doesn't eat into time set aside for other daily activities. Wrap up your gaming session before it gets late so your sleep quality isn't affected.

3

Track your wins and losses

Review your gaming spending and results every week. Your full transaction history is available in your 98 db account. Regular reviews keep you informed and help you spot any tendency to overspend before it becomes a problem.

Use the self-control tools available to you

98 db gives you powerful tools to stay in control of your gaming

Deposit Limit

You can set your own maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Lowering the limit takes effect immediately, while increasing it requires a waiting period. This is the most effective step you can take to protect your finances.

Taking a Break

You can activate a gaming break anytime, anywhere from 24 hours up to 30 days. During the break, you won't be able to log in or play any games. This feature is designed to help reduce stress and give you space to reassess.

Cooling-Off Period

This feature temporarily suspends your account for a set period, protecting you from impulsive, excessive gaming sessions. No promotional offers or bonuses can be claimed while a cooling-off period is active. It's an effective way to take a mindful break.

Self-Exclusion

If you want to step away from gaming for an extended period, use the self-exclusion feature. This allows you to completely deactivate your account for anywhere from six months to five years. Once self-exclusion is active, gaming will not be possible until the set period has fully elapsed.

Strict Policy on Minor Protection

Users must be 18 years of age or older to register at 98 db and access its gaming features. An age verification process is carried out at registration, and additional identity verification may be requested in cases of doubt. If a minor has created an account by any means and this is brought to our attention, the account will be closed immediately and any deposited funds returned.

A special note for parents — make sure your devices are protected with a PIN or password, and stay vigilant so your children cannot access your gaming account. Have open, honest conversations with your kids about responsible gaming and help them build healthy internet habits.

  • Age verification required at registration
  • Immediate investigation of suspicious accounts
  • Parental Controls Guidance
  • Account closure and refund if a minor is detected

Advice for Parents

Install parental control software on your device and keep browser parental controls active. Use a separate browser profile for gaming or betting sites to prevent easy access by children. Never share your login details with children, and never leave your device unattended while logged in. Set clear rules at home about internet use — when, how long, and what content is acceptable. If a child shows interest after seeing a gaming ad, redirect their attention to age-appropriate entertainment.

Maintain a Balanced Life

Gaming is just a small part of life — put family, health, and your goals first

A balanced life means setting aside the right amount of time for every activity. Gaming is a legitimate form of entertainment, but when it starts affecting your work, family, relationships, or health, it's time to take notice. 98 db is committed to helping its users lead full and happy lives — where gaming is simply an enjoyable break, nothing more.

Exercise daily, spend time with family, and pursue your hobbies. Maintain your social connections and stay in touch with friends and loved ones. Find more joy in real-life relationships and achievements than in any game. Remember, real-life success and happiness are far more valuable than any gaming outcome.

Spend Time with Family

Spending quality time with family every day is essential for mental well-being.

Stay Physically Active

Regular exercise and enough sleep help reduce stress and keep a positive mindset.

Seek Professional Help When Needed

Struggling to handle a gaming problem on your own is not a weakness — reaching out for professional help takes courage and good judgment. A mental health professional or counselor can help you address gaming addiction effectively. 98 db encourages you to take that first step toward support and is committed to standing by you every step of the way. Talk openly with someone you trust — a close friend or family member. Often, that first conversation is the most important step you can take.

Bangladesh has a National Mental Health Helpline and local counseling services available for support. You can also consult the mental health department at any hospital or visit a trained psychologist. Remember, seeking help means you're already moving toward a solution.
