18+ Only 24/7 Support Safe Environment

What is responsible gaming?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a healthy form of entertainment — not a source of financial or mental harm. At 898, we believe every player should know their limits and keep gaming as one enjoyable part of life, not the main priority.

Responsible gaming doesn't mean you can't play. It means playing mindfully — setting a budget, managing your time, and making calm, rational decisions rather than placing impulsive bets after a loss.

Responsible gaming is at the heart of everything we do at 898. We want every user to engage with this platform in a healthy mindset, and we believe gaming should never become a burden.

Remember — gaming is purely for entertainment. Winning is never guaranteed. Never chase losses by placing larger bets.

898's Responsible Gaming Principles

At 898, we follow a set of core principles for responsible gaming that are designed to protect every user on our platform:

  • For adults only: You must be at least 18 years old to create an account on 898. Age is verified through our KYC process.
  • Transparent Gaming Environment: The winning odds (RTP) for every game are clearly stated.
  • Benefits of Setting Limits: You can set your own daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits.
  • Self-Exclusion: You can temporarily suspend your account for a period of time whenever you need to.
  • Active Support: When a problem is identified, our team provides the necessary support and guidance.
  • Algorithm Alerts: Automatic alerts are sent when unusual gaming patterns are detected.

898's goal isn't just to offer gaming — it's to create a safe and enjoyable environment where everyone can have fun in a healthy way.

Our Safety Tools

898 offers a range of effective tools to help keep your gaming experience safe. All of them are accessible directly from your account settings:

Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits.

Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how long you play in one session. Once that time is up, you'll automatically receive an alert.

Reality Check

Regular pop-up notifications will appear to remind you how long you've been playing.

Cooling-Off Period

You can place your account on a temporary break for anywhere from 1 day to 6 weeks.

Self-Exclusion

You can take an extended break lasting from 6 months up to 5 years. Your account will be completely suspended for the entire duration.

Loss Limit

If your losses reach a set amount, your session will automatically be stopped.

All these tools can be activated at any time from the account settings on the 898 app or website.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

When gaming starts turning from enjoyment into a problem, certain signs begin to appear. Watch out for these in yourself or someone close to you:

Repeatedly placing larger bets in an attempt to recover lost money.

Neglecting family, friends, or work because of gaming.

Spending beyond the budget you set for yourself.

Turning to gaming during times of stress or loneliness.

Lying to family or friends about your gaming.

Losing sleep or playing through the night, with daily routines disrupted as a result.

Gaming with debt or by draining your savings.

Unable to stop playing, even after repeated attempts.

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, contact our support team immediately or use the self-exclusion feature.

Check Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If most of your answers are "Yes", it's time to start using the responsible gaming tools.

1 Do I see gaming as a source of income?
2 Am I spending more than my monthly budget on gaming?
3 Do I place more bets out of anger or frustration after a loss?
4 Have I tried to stop gaming but couldn't?
5 Am I hiding my gaming habits from family?
6 Do thoughts of gaming creep in while you're working or studying?
7 Has gaming caused me financial difficulties?
8 When I win, can I not stop — always wanting to win more?
If you answer "Yes" to more than three of these questions, please speak to our support team right away or use the self-exclusion feature.

Practical Tips for Healthy Gaming

Responsible gaming is more than just setting limits — it's a mindset that helps you get the most enjoyment out of gaming. Build these habits:

1
Set a Monthly Budget

Set a monthly limit on how much you can spend on gaming in advance. Make sure this amount does not come from money reserved for essential needs.

2
Stick to Your Time Limits

Decide on the maximum time you'll spend playing each day. You can set a timer on your phone or use the Session Limit feature on 898.

3
Take a Break After a Loss

A losing streak is a signal to stop. Placing rushed bets to chase losses is very likely to make things worse.

4
Treat It as Entertainment

Think of gaming as entertainment — like going to the cinema or watching sports — not as a way to make money. A win is a bonus; a loss is part of the game.

5
Never play with borrowed money

Gaming with borrowed money or credit is the most dangerous habit of all. Only use money you can afford to lose without affecting your household finances.

6
Make time for other activities too

Life isn't just about gaming — make time for family, reading, or exercise. Variety is good for your mental health.

Minor Protection

898 strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from using the platform. This isn't just about compliance — we enforce it rigorously to protect the mental and financial wellbeing of minors:

  • Date of birth is verified at registration, and presenting a valid ID document is mandatory during KYC.
  • Any suspicious account identified is suspended immediately.
  • Parents can use parental control software to block 898 on their child's device.
  • If you know of a minor in your household who is accessing gaming services, please notify us immediately.

898's Commitment

We do not grant full gaming access until each user's age and identity have been verified. This is a core part of our responsible gaming commitment.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about responsible gaming

Yes, once the set break period ends, your account can be reactivated. For security reasons, the break cannot be ended early. For self-exclusions of 6 months or longer, you will need to contact the support team to reactivate your account.

Limit reductions take effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Accounts cannot be closed at a third party's request, as this would violate personal data protection rules. However, if you believe someone is being harmed, encourage them to set up self-exclusion or limits themselves, and let our support team know.

If you enable Reality Check, a pop-up will appear every 30, 60, or 90 minutes showing how long you've been playing and the total amount spent in BDT. You can then choose to continue or stop.

No. Registration on 898 requires mandatory age verification using a National ID card or passport. If someone registers with false information and is later identified, their account will be immediately closed and all balances forfeited.
