What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means approaching gaming as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income or a solution to life's problems. 98ok believes every player should know their limits and stay within them.

Millions of people in Bangladesh enjoy online gaming. However, without the right knowledge and awareness, it can sometimes become a problem. At 98ok, we are committed to responsible play — ensuring every member has a positive experience on our platform.

We want you to play for fun and play with awareness. Enjoy gaming while keeping your family, work, and financial wellbeing as your top priority. 98ok's responsible gaming tools and guidelines are here to help you maintain that balance.

Remember — gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your life, use the tools below or get in touch with our support team.

Gaming is never a solution to financial problems. Chasing losses with bigger bets creates a dangerous cycle.

Tips for Building Healthy Gaming Habits

Follow these habits for responsible play

Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start gaming. Keep your gaming budget separate — it should never come from your everyday living expenses.
  • Set aside a fixed portion of your monthly entertainment budget for gaming
  • Once your budget is gone, stop gaming for the day and start fresh tomorrow
  • Avoid gaming with credit cards or borrowed money
  • Review your gaming spending every month

Schedule your gaming time and stick to it. Only game after you've taken care of other important responsibilities.
  • Set a daily time limit for gaming before you start
  • Avoid gaming during work or study hours
  • Make it a habit not to game after midnight
  • Take at least one or two days off from gaming each week

Gaming is for entertainment only — don't use it to relieve stress or escape from problems.
  • If you're feeling stressed, step away from gaming and do something else
  • Avoid gaming when you're feeling angry or frustrated
  • Stay calm after a loss and avoid making decisions based on emotion
  • Keep up with hobbies and social activities outside of gaming

Be open with the people close to you about your gaming habits. Hiding an addiction only makes it stronger.
  • Let a trusted family member know how much you are playing
  • Have honest conversations with friends about gaming
  • If someone expresses concern about your gaming, listen carefully
  • Seeking help is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of courage

Make sure younger family members cannot access your device or account.
  • Never share your 98ok account password with anyone
  • Use screen-time settings on your device to restrict children's access
  • Never leave your device unattended while logged in
  • Make children aware of gaming advertisements
