Gaming is meant to be fun — not a burden on your life. Know your limits while playing on app99, protect yourself, and keep entertainment enjoyable.
Responsible Gaming means enjoying online gaming as a healthy form of entertainment — where you stay in full control of your time, money, and mental well-being. It's not just about following rules; it's about being accountable to yourself.
App99 believes gaming is truly enjoyable only when it's done willingly, with a plan, and within set limits. Chasing losses, betting on borrowed money, or hiding your gaming from family — these are the opposite of responsible play.
Online gaming in Bangladesh is growing rapidly. It is becoming popular among the younger generation — which is good news. However, without the right knowledge and limits, it can become a problem. That is why app99 has placed responsible gaming at the heart of its platform from the very beginning.
Gaming Addiction is a real problem — millions of people around the world are affected by it. The numbers are no small matter in Bangladesh either. Gaming addiction does not only create financial problems — it can also have a serious impact on family relationships, mental health, and professional life.
Gaming problems rarely start all at once. They develop gradually — beginning as a source of entertainment, then consuming more and more time, then more and more money, then turning into desperate attempts to recover what has been lost. Once this cycle begins, it becomes very difficult to break free on your own.
The responsible gaming tools available at app99 help break this cycle. By setting the right limits at the right time, problems never get the chance to escalate.
The risk of stress, depression, and loss of self-confidence increases.
Family conflicts may arise, and there is a risk of cracks forming in relationships.
Serious problems such as depleting savings or falling into debt may occur.
Risk of decreased focus, arriving late, or losing your job.
The most important step in recognising a gaming problem is an honest self-assessment. Watch out for the following signs:
You start by saying "I'll just play for a bit" and hours go by.
Betting more than you intended, or chasing losses to win back money.
Hiding your gaming from loved ones or lying about it.
Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when not gaming.
Spending money meant for rent, food, or medical needs on gaming.
Repeatedly attempting to take breaks but failing to do so.
Neglecting responsibilities or a decline in performance due to gaming.
Identify the questions below that apply to you. Giving honest answers is what matters most.
App99 provides a range of tools to help you stay in control of your gaming. They're free and available to use at any time.
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once set, it is not possible to deposit beyond that limit.
Instant EffectSet the maximum amount of time you will play in one session. Once the time is up, you will be logged out automatically.
15 minutes to 8 hoursSet a cap on how much you're willing to lose within a given period. Once the limit is reached, no further bets can be placed.
Financial ProtectionTake a break ranging from 1 day to 6 weeks. During this period, logging into your account or placing bets will not be possible.
Temporary PauseAt set intervals, a pop-up message will remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
Raising awarenessClose your account for anywhere from 6 months to permanently. Once activated, it cannot easily be reversed.
Complete ProtectionSetting limits is the most effective way to practice responsible gaming. Below is a practical guide on how to set the right limits.
Gaming budget = Total income − (Rent + Food + Utilities + Savings + Other necessary expenses)
Only bet what you can afford to lose. Never go beyond that amount.
| Type of limit | Range | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Deposit | ৳200 – ৳50,000 | 1/30 of your total monthly budget |
| Weekly Deposit | ৳500 – ৳2,00,000 | 1/4 of your total monthly budget |
| Monthly Deposit | BDT 1,000 – BDT 5,00,000 | 100% of Entertainment Budget |
| Daily Loss Limit | ৳200 – ৳20,000 | Daily deposit of 50-70% |
| Session Time | 15 minutes – 8 hours | Maximum 2-3 hours |
Log in to your account on app99 and click on the profile icon in the top right corner.
Select the "Responsible Gaming" option from the menu.
Choose what works for you — Deposit Limit, Loss Limit, Session Limit, or Cooling-Off.
Set a realistic amount or time limit. Remember — limits can be lowered instantly, but increasing them takes 7 days.
Confirm the change using your OTP or password. It will take effect immediately.
Self-Exclusion is app99's most powerful responsible gaming tool. Use it the moment you feel gaming is getting out of your control.
Your account does not reopen automatically after the period ends. You must contact support to consciously request reactivation of your account — and go through a "cooling off" period.
Participation by anyone under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited on app99. We follow strict procedures to verify age.
Prevention is always the best approach. Keeping these habits in your daily gaming routine will ensure that gaming remains enjoyable at all times.
Decide how much money you will spend before you start playing. Once that amount is gone, stop.
Set an alarm. When the time is up, step away from your computer or phone and get up.
Gaming when you're angry, sad, or frustrated leads to poor decisions and a higher chance of losing.
There is no guarantee of winning after a loss. Betting more only means a greater risk of losing more.
Take a 5–10 minute break every hour. Have some tea, go for a short walk.
Let a family member or friend know how much you are playing — transparency helps prevent problems.
Acknowledging a problem is a sign of strength — not weakness. There is no shame in asking for help. Reach out to app99 or seek professional assistance.
Gaming addiction is a recognised mental health condition. Professional mental health services are available in Bangladesh. Speak to a mental health specialist or counsellor near you. Advisory services are also available at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and government hospitals.
