Responsible Gaming at 89dd
At 89dd, we believe that gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress, debt, or harm. Our responsible gaming framework gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control of their play at all times.
Six Pillars of Safe Play
89dd's responsible gaming programme is built on six core pillars. Each one is a practical, actionable commitment — not a policy statement.
Strict Age Verification
Every new 89dd account undergoes mandatory age verification before full platform access is granted. No player under the age of 21 may open an account, deposit funds, or place bets. We cross-check submitted identity documents — NID or passport — against date-of-birth records to enforce this boundary without exception.
Deposit Limit Controls
Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from their 89dd account settings. Once a limit is set, the platform will not accept deposits that exceed the defined threshold during that period. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit is subject to a 48-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of play.
Session Time Limits
Losing track of time is one of the most common early warning signs of problematic gambling. 89dd allows players to set session duration limits on their accounts. When your chosen session length is reached, the platform will display a clear on-screen notification reminding you that your limit has been hit and prompting you to log out and take a break.
Time-Out Periods
If you feel you need a short break from gambling without fully closing your account, 89dd's time-out feature allows you to suspend your account for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 30 days. During a time-out, login access, deposits, and wagering are all disabled. You can request a time-out at any time by contacting the 89dd support team at [email protected].
Self-Exclusion
For players who need a longer break, 89dd offers self-exclusion periods of 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent exclusion. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is locked and cannot be reopened until the chosen period has elapsed. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. To activate self-exclusion, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and your preferred exclusion duration.
Dedicated Support
89dd's customer support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6). If you are concerned about your own gambling habits or those of someone you know, our trained support agents are here to listen, provide information about available tools, and help you take the right next step — without judgment.
Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment
Across Bangladesh — from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Khulna — millions of cricket fans and casual players enjoy online betting as a form of entertainment. For the overwhelming majority, it stays exactly that: a fun, social, and occasionally profitable hobby built around the thrill of the BPL, T20 World Cup, and bilateral series featuring the Bangladesh Tigers.
However, 89dd acknowledges that for a small number of individuals, gambling can shift from entertainment into a harmful compulsion. Problem gambling can affect players of any background, income level, or experience level — and it often develops gradually, making it difficult to recognise in oneself or in those close to you.
89dd is committed to being part of the solution. We invest in responsible gaming tools not because regulations require us to, but because we genuinely believe that a healthy, sustainable player community is the foundation of a trustworthy platform. A player who feels in control, protected, and respected will always have a better experience at 89dd than one who is chasing losses or playing beyond their means.
The tools and resources on this page are available to every registered 89dd player, free of charge, at any time. We encourage all players — even those who feel their gambling is entirely under control — to review their deposit limits and session settings periodically, particularly during high-intensity betting seasons like the BPL or Eid promotional periods.
A Quick Reality Check
The following questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your current relationship with gambling. There are no right or wrong answers — this is a private exercise for your own awareness. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to contact 89dd support to discuss setting account limits or activating a time-out or self-exclusion.
This self-assessment is not a diagnostic tool. If you are seriously concerned about problem gambling, please seek guidance from a qualified counsellor or healthcare professional in addition to using the platform tools available at 89dd.
Honest self-reflection is a sign of strength, not weakness. Many 89dd players use periodic self-checks during high-volume betting seasons — such as the BPL or during Eid promotional periods — as a routine part of responsible play.
If you answered "yes" to three or more of the above, please reach out to 89dd support at [email protected] or activate a time-out or self-exclusion via your account settings. You are not alone, and help is available.
How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools
Setting up limits and time-outs on your 89dd account takes less than two minutes. Here is exactly how to do it.
Setting Deposit Limits
Log in to your 89dd account
Navigate to the 89dd login page and sign in with your registered username and password.
Open Account Settings
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner of the platform and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Navigate to Responsible Gaming
Locate the "Responsible Gaming" tab within Account Settings. This is where all limit controls are managed.
Set Your Preferred Limit
Choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly limit and enter your desired maximum deposit amount in BDT (e.g., ৳5,000 per week). Confirm your selection.
Limit Takes Effect Immediately
Deposit limits are applied instantly. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address once the limit is active.
Requesting Self-Exclusion or Time-Out
Contact 89dd Support Directly
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" or "Time-Out Request" depending on which tool you need.
Specify Your Preferred Duration
For a time-out, indicate how long you would like the break to last (24 hours up to 30 days). For self-exclusion, specify 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent exclusion.
Identity Verification
For self-exclusion requests, support may ask you to confirm your identity by providing your registered mobile number and account username to ensure the correct account is actioned.
Account Locked Within 24 Hours
Your account will be locked within 24 hours of the verified request. During this period, all login access, deposits, and wagering will be disabled. Any balance in your account will be secured.
Confirmation and Follow-Up
You will receive an email confirmation once the exclusion or time-out is active. 89dd support will check in with you once the period has elapsed, if applicable, before reinstating access.
Keeping Under-21s Safe
89dd enforces a strict 21+ age policy across all aspects of the platform. Protecting minors from exposure to gambling content is a non-negotiable part of our responsible gaming commitment.
No Under-21 Accounts
Account registration requires date-of-birth submission. All accounts are age-verified against submitted NID or passport documents before full access is granted.
Parental Controls
If you share a device with minors, we strongly recommend enabling parental control software on your device to prevent access to gambling websites, including 89dd.
Keep Credentials Private
Never share your 89dd username, password, or account details with any third party — including family members or friends who may be under the age of 21.
Report Underage Access
If you suspect that a person under 21 has registered a 89dd account, notify us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take corrective action without delay.
For parents and guardians: Third-party filtering tools such as Net Nanny, Bark, and similar parental control applications can block access to online gambling platforms at the device or network level. 89dd recommends that any household with members under the age of 21 implements device-level parental controls as an additional safeguard, independent of the age-verification measures 89dd applies on the platform itself.
The 89dd Safe Play Guidelines
Beyond the tools and features available on the platform, 89dd encourages all players to adopt the following personal guidelines as part of their everyday approach to online betting and gaming. These principles apply whether you are placing a cricket bet during the BPL final, spinning a slot title from Pragmatic Play, or playing a hand in the live casino with Evolution Gaming.
Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility. 89dd provides the infrastructure; you provide the self-awareness and the boundaries. Together, we can make sure that your 89dd experience remains enjoyable, financially sustainable, and free from harm.
-
Set a budget before you playDecide in advance how much money you are comfortable spending in a session, and treat that amount as entertainment expenditure — money you are happy to lose, not money you are expecting to grow.
-
Never chase lossesAccept losses as a normal part of gambling. Increasing your bets in an attempt to recover losses is one of the fastest paths to financial harm. If you are down, log out and come back another day.
-
Gamble only with money you can afford to loseNever use rent money, bill payments, savings, or funds earmarked for essential expenses to fund gambling. Only ever use genuinely disposable income.
-
Take regular breaksSet a timer and step away from the screen regularly. Fatigue impairs judgement, and longer sessions tend to result in larger losses. Use 89dd's session limit tool to automate this habit.
-
Keep gambling balanced with other activitiesGambling should be one leisure activity among many. If you find it crowding out hobbies, social time, family commitments, or exercise, that is a signal worth acting on.
-
Do not gamble when impairedAvoid placing bets when you are emotionally distressed, fatigued, or under the influence of alcohol or other substances. Clear-headed decisions lead to more enjoyable and responsible play.
-
Reach out early — do not wait until it is a crisisIf something feels off — even slightly — contact 89dd support or activate a limit. It is far easier to address a concern early than to manage a full-blown problem. There is no shame in asking for help.
You Are Never Alone
Whether you are struggling yourself or concerned about someone you care about, help is always within reach. 89dd's support team and the following resources are here for you.
89dd Support Team
Our responsible gaming support agents are available around the clock to help you activate limits, process self-exclusion requests, or simply talk through your concerns.
Talk to Someone You Trust
Sometimes the most powerful first step is an honest conversation with a friend, partner, or family member. Sharing how you feel can break the cycle of secrecy that often surrounds problem gambling and open the door to practical support from people who care about you.
Professional Counselling
Trained counsellors and mental health professionals can provide structured support for problem gambling. If you are based in Dhaka, Chittagong, or other major Bangladeshi cities, ask your local healthcare provider about referral options for behavioural addiction support.
Email is always open: If you are not comfortable speaking live with a support agent, send a detailed email to [email protected] at any time of day or night. Include your account username and a brief description of your concern. A responsible gaming specialist will respond within 12 hours.
Your privacy is protected: All responsible gaming requests and communications — including self-exclusion requests and limit-setting conversations — are handled in strict confidence. Your personal data is never shared with third parties for marketing or profiling purposes as a result of a responsible gaming interaction.
