1. What is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible Gaming means enjoying gaming in a way that does not negatively affect your daily life, family relationships, or financial situation. At dbt99, we firmly believe that gaming is a form of entertainment — it should never become the center of your life.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, with millions of people turning to platforms like dbt99 for entertainment. For a small number of users, however, gaming can spiral out of control. dbt99's Responsible Gaming policy is designed specifically to reduce that risk.
Keep in mind: The essence of responsible gaming is this — you stay in control of the game, not the other way around.
Responsible gaming on the dbt99 platform is not just a policy — it is a core part of how we do business. We want every user to walk away with a positive and enjoyable gaming experience.
2. Signs of Problematic Gaming
Gaming problems do not appear overnight. Changes develop gradually and are often easy to miss at first. Watch out for the following signs:
Financial Signs
- Spending more than your budget
- Gaming with borrowed money or by dipping into savings
- Cutting back on essential household expenses to fund gaming
- Placing larger bets after a loss to chase your money back
Behavioral Signs
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming
- Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends
- Unable to focus on work or studies
- Unable to stick to the limits you've set
Seeing one or two of these signs is not necessarily cause for alarm. However, if three or more apply, please speak with dbt99 Support or take a break for a few days.

4. Tips for Building Healthy Gaming Habits
Responsible gaming is not about quitting — it is about gaming smarter. The habits below will help keep your gaming experience positive at all times:
- Set a budget before you play and stick to it
- Don't chase losses with bigger bets
- Take regular breaks — at least 10 minutes every hour
- Track your playing time and keep an eye on the clock
- Avoid gaming when you are tired or stressed
- Prioritize spending time with family and friends
- Do not treat gaming as a source of income
- Think before you deposit — do you really need to?
Keep in mind: Only bet money you can afford to lose — money that, if gone, won't affect your family's daily life.
5. Assess Yourself
Answer the following questions honestly. If most of your answers are "yes", you may need some support. That's not a weakness — it's called taking care of yourself.
1 Do you ever feel that you should cut back on your gaming?
If this question crosses your mind occasionally, it means you're self-aware — and that's a good sign.
2 Have your family or friends expressed concern about your gaming?
Take the views of those close to you seriously — what they observe from the outside is valuable.
3 Have you ever dipped into essential expenses or savings to fund your gaming?
Exceeding financial limits is the clearest warning sign of a problem.
4 Do you feel restless, irritable, or frustrated when you cannot game?
This feeling is known as "withdrawal" — a common sign of addiction.
5 Does gaming feel more important than your work, studies, or relationships?
If gaming is affecting other areas of your life, take action immediately.
If you answered "yes" to three or more questions, please speak with our Support team. We are here to help, not to judge.
