What does responsible gaming mean?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a form of entertainment — not a solution to life's problems or a way out of financial difficulty. At 978bet, we want every player to set their own limits freely, manage their time and money mindfully, and enjoy gaming as a positive part of their life.

The foundation of responsible gaming is awareness. How much time are you spending, how much money are you putting in, and why are you playing — honest answers to these three questions are where responsible gaming begins. At 978bet, we see responsible gaming as a culture, not just a checklist of rules.

Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh. Sports Betting, slots, bingo — every type of game can be great fun when approached with the right mindset. Just remember: there are no guaranteed wins. Without the mental readiness to accept losses, gaming can quickly go from enjoyable to stressful.

978bet's responsible gaming policy is built to international standards. We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of every player.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

  • Gaming is entertainment, not a reliable way to earn money.
  • Only spend what you can afford to lose.
  • Set time limits and stick to them.
  • Don't increase your bets when emotions are running high.
  • Resist the urge to place larger bets in an attempt to recover money you've lost.
  • Keep a healthy balance between gaming and spending time with family, friends, and other hobbies.

Warning Signs — Know When to Stop

Gaming addiction doesn't happen overnight — it builds gradually, and often you don't notice it yourself until it's already taken hold. Pay attention to the signs below. They indicate that your gaming habits may be going beyond healthy limits.

If 3 or more of the signs below apply to you, seek help now. This isn't a sign of weakness — it's a sign of self-awareness.
Losing Track of Time

You've been playing for hours, can't stop, or keep forgetting to stop.

Spending Beyond Your Budget

Using money from your monthly savings or emergency fund for gaming.

Mood Changes

When you're not playing, you feel anxious, irritable, or low.

Playing in Secret

Hiding your gaming habits from family or friends.

Chasing Losses

Placing bigger bets to try to win back lost money.

Impact on Relationships

Gaming is affecting your family life or work.

978bet Responsible Gaming Tools

978bet goes beyond entertainment — it provides real tools to help protect every player. These tools are easy to access directly from your account settings. Every feature 978bet offers is designed to support you in playing responsibly.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, limits can be lowered immediately, but increasing them takes some time to take effect.

Session Time Limit

You'll receive automatic alerts when your set time is up, so you can consciously track how long you've been playing.

Loss Limit

Gaming stops automatically once you've lost a set amount. The most effective way to keep financial losses in check.

Self-Exclusion

You can temporarily or permanently close your account for a set period. Options range from 6 months up to 5 years.

Cooldown Period

Take a temporary break for 7, 14, or 30 days. Betting and deposits will not be possible during this period.

Reality Check

Pop-up notifications appear at regular intervals to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.

To use these tools, go to your account settings or contact the support team. Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be cancelled before the set period ends.

Practical Tips for Healthy Gaming Habits

Playing responsibly takes more than just good intentions — it takes effective habits. Follow these responsible gaming tips at 978bet and keep gaming a positive part of your life.

1
Set a Budget Before You Play

Before you start, decide on the maximum amount you're willing to spend in that session. Once you've lost that amount, stop for the day. Don't try to win back what you've lost.

2
Stick to Your Time Limits

Set a timer before you start playing. You can use 978bet's Session Time Limit feature. When the time is up, take a break — go for a walk or catch up with family.

3
Don't Bet on Impulse

Avoid gaming when you're angry, upset, or overly excited. Your ability to make sound decisions is reduced in these states, and the risk of greater losses increases.

4
Don't Game Under the Influence

Avoid gaming after consuming alcohol or any intoxicating substance. It impairs your judgment and can lead to placing larger bets than you intended.

5
Take Regular Breaks

Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, drink some water, and rest your eyes. Long sessions increase mental fatigue and lead to poorer decision-making.

6
Keep a Record

Keep a record of how long you play and how much you win or lose. Having those numbers in front of you makes it much easier to stay in control.

7
Don't Make Gaming Your Only Source of Entertainment

Keep up with hobbies like reading, sports, and socialising with friends. When gaming becomes your only source of enjoyment, that's when problems start.

Self-Assessment

Ask yourself the questions below. Answer honestly — no one is watching. These questions are based on internationally recognized gaming addiction assessments.

1
Do you feel restless, irritable, or uncomfortable when you're not gaming?
2
Do you find you need to bet more than you used to in order to feel the same excitement?
3
Have you tried to cut back or quit gaming but been unable to?
4
Do you spend most of your time planning to play or thinking about gaming?
5
Do you turn to gaming to cope with stress, loneliness, or depression?
6
Have you lied to family or friends about your gaming?
7
Have you borrowed money or taken money from family to fund your gaming?
8
Have you neglected work, studies, or important responsibilities because of gaming?
0–2 Yes

Normal gaming behaviour. Stay mindful.

3–5 Yes

Potential risk. Set limits and seek support.

6+ Yes

High risk. Seek professional help now.

Protection of Minors

978bet strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from accessing its gaming platform. We believe protecting children and young people is a shared responsibility — one that belongs to both families and the platform.

If we become aware that anyone under 18 is using 978bet, their account is immediately closed and all associated data is deleted.

Advice for Parents

  • Use parental control software on your computer or mobile device.
  • Regularly monitor your child's online activity.
  • Keep your login credentials out of reach of your children.
  • Have an open, honest conversation with your child about the risks of online gaming.
  • If you have any concerns, contact our support team immediately.

FAQs

Yes, Self-Exclusion can be activated at any time via your account settings or through our support team. Once active, it cannot be reversed before the set period ends. Options start from 6 months and include permanent closure.

Yes, lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24 to 72-hour waiting period for security reasons. This delay is intentional — to prevent limits from being raised in the heat of the moment.

Reach out directly to 978bet's 24/7 support team at any time. Speaking with a mental health professional or counselor can also make a real difference. Opening up to family or trusted friends is another effective step.

Not mandatory, but strongly encouraged. These tools are here to protect you. We recommend new players set at least one deposit limit and a session time limit from the start.

Your personal account information stays private. That said, you can choose to share it with someone you trust. If family members are concerned about your gaming, having an open conversation with them is the most effective step you can take.

A Cooldown Period is a temporary break of 7 to 30 days — during which you cannot play or deposit, but your account reactivates automatically once the period ends. Self-Exclusion is a longer-term measure — ranging from 6 months to permanent — and it does not end unless you actively request it.
