1 What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?
Online gaming and betting have become a popular form of entertainment. But like any pastime, they're best enjoyed in moderation. Responsible gaming means knowing your limits, staying within your budget, and playing without stress. 98ok firmly believes that without a responsible mindset, gaming can shift from entertainment to a problem.
Responsible gaming isn't a rigid set of rules — it's a mindset. When you play for enjoyment rather than chasing wins, gaming becomes most rewarding. 98ok's responsible gaming policy is here to help you maintain that healthy balance.
Raising responsible gaming awareness across Bangladesh's gaming community is one of 98ok's primary goals. We don't just offer games — we are committed to ensuring every member can enjoy gaming in a safe and informed environment. This is our promise, not just a policy.
Gaming should always be for entertainment. If you feel it is having a negative impact on your life, seek help without delay.
2 How to Recognize Signs of a Problem
Gaming addiction builds gradually and often goes unnoticed. 98ok wants you to be able to assess yourself honestly. If you notice any of the signs below, it may be time to take responsible gaming steps.
If you recognise three or more of the signs above, contact 98ok Support or use our self-exclusion tool. Acknowledging the problem is the first step toward solving it.
3 Self-Assessment
The most effective approach to responsible gaming is honest self-assessment. Work through the questions below and answer them truthfully. This isn't a test — it's a way to raise your own awareness.
| Question | If Yes... |
|---|---|
| Do I stick to a pre-set budget when I play? | Signs of Healthy Gaming |
| Can I accept a loss without getting upset? | Emotional well-being is stable |
| Do I put family and work before gaming? | Signs of a Balanced Lifestyle |
| Do I enjoy other activities besides gaming? | Low gaming dependency |
| Can I stop playing whenever I choose? | In control of yourself |
| Do I avoid seeing gaming as a source of income? | The right mindset is in place |
If you answered "Yes" to most questions, you are gaming responsibly. If most of your answers were "No", we recommend using 98ok's self-help tools.
