98kat Responsible Gaming —
Fun Meets Safety

What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means using gaming purely as entertainment — not as a way to earn money or escape problems. At 98k, we want you to enjoy every session and be able to step back into normal life when it's over. It means playing within your financial means, respecting time limits, and seeking help when needed.

Thousands of players across Bangladesh enjoy gaming responsibly on 98k every day. That said, for some people, keeping gaming under control can become a real challenge. That's why we're here from the start — with the right tools and awareness to help you stay in charge.

Signs of problematic gaming

It's not always easy to tell when normal gaming is becoming a problem. Ask yourself the questions below — if most of your answers are "Yes", it may be time to seek help:

How to Use 98k's Protection Tools

Deposit & Betting Limits

After logging in, go to "My Limits" to set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits take effect immediately once set. To increase a limit, you'll need to wait 24 hours — but reductions apply instantly.

Session timer & reality check

In your settings, you can set a maximum play time per session. Before that time is up, 98k will send you a pop-up notification showing how long you've been playing and how much BDT you've spent. These reminders help you make informed decisions.

Self-exclusion process

If you feel you need a break from gaming, follow the steps below:

• Go to the "Responsible Gaming" option in your account settings.
• Click the "Self-Exclusion" button.
• Choose your break duration — 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or permanent.
• Confirm — your account will then be deactivated automatically.
• For permanent exclusion, please contact the support team.

How to build healthy gaming habits

Responsible gaming is more than following rules — it's a mindset. Keep these tips in mind and gaming at 98k will always be an enjoyable experience:

• Set your budget in advance: Before each session, decide in your head how much you're willing to spend. Make sure losing that amount won't cause any financial stress at home.
• Don't make decisions on impulse: Placing large bets out of anger or frustration after a loss is dangerous. Take a break and come back with a clear head.
• Don't treat gaming as a source of income: 98k is an entertainment platform. Winning is a bonus — think of any losses as the cost of a good time.
• Take regular breaks: Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Stand up, drink some water, take a short walk.
• Stop when it stops being fun: If you notice you've been playing for several hours straight and can't seem to stop — that's a warning sign.
• Keep up other hobbies: Don't let gaming take time away from family, friends, sports, or other activities you enjoy.

Protection for Minors

98k strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from participating in gaming. Age is verified at registration and reconfirmed during the KYC process. Our advice to parents:

• Use parental control software on your device.
• Keep your 98k account password out of reach of children.
• Make your child aware of the risks of online gaming.
• If you have any concerns, contact our support team without delay.

Where to find support

Gaming addiction is a health issue, not something to be ashamed of. Reaching out for help takes courage. 98k is here for you and can connect you with professional support when you need it:

• Email: [email protected] — Response within 24 hours.
