21+ Only Self-Exclusion Available Deposit & Session Limits 24/7 Support

Our Commitment to Safe Play

At gb89, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is built into the foundation of everything we do. We understand that for the vast majority of our players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and beyond, online betting is an enjoyable pastime. But we also recognise that for some individuals, gambling can become harmful. Our duty is to provide every player with the information, tools, and support they need to keep their experience positive.

gb89's responsible gaming programme is built around three core principles: awareness, prevention, and intervention. We proactively monitor player behaviour for early warning signs, provide accessible account management tools, and maintain a round-the-clock support team ready to assist any player who feels their gambling habits may be becoming a concern.

Important: The gb89 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. Age verification is mandatory for all accounts. If you believe you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, please use the tools and resources listed on this page or contact our support team immediately.

21+

Adults Only — 21 Years and Above

gb89 strictly enforces the 21+ age requirement across all games, sports betting markets, and account services. All players are required to complete identity and age verification (KYC) before making deposits or placing bets. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful — we take every reasonable measure to prevent it.

Our Responsible Gaming Principles

Transparency

We clearly communicate the odds, house edge, and terms of every game and promotion so players can make fully informed decisions before wagering.

Player Empowerment

Every gb89 account comes with a suite of self-management tools including deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion — all accessible at any time.

Proactive Monitoring

Our platform monitors betting patterns 24/7 and may proactively reach out to players who show signs of problem gambling behaviour — even before they request help.

Staff Training

All gb89 support staff are trained to recognise the signs of problem gambling and to handle sensitive conversations with empathy, confidentiality, and respect.

Zero Tolerance for Underage Play

We enforce strict age verification at registration and during routine KYC reviews. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 is closed immediately with no exceptions.

Gambling: Facts You Should Know

Before you play on gb89, we encourage every player to understand a few fundamental facts about gambling:

  • All casino games and sports bets carry a built-in house edge. The odds always favour the operator over the long run — this is a mathematical certainty, not a matter of luck.

  • Gambling outcomes are determined by random number generators or real-world sporting events. Past results do not influence future outcomes — there is no such thing as a "winning streak" strategy.

  • Gambling should never be used as a means to generate income, pay off debts, or recover previous losses. Chasing losses is one of the most dangerous gambling behaviours.

  • Set a strict budget before you play and never exceed it. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Bets placed with essential funds — rent, food, bills — are a serious warning sign.

  • If you feel you need to gamble to feel normal, or that stopping causes anxiety or irritability, these are signs of dependency. Please use our self-exclusion tool or contact [email protected] immediately.

Account Management Tools

gb89 provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools, available free of charge to every registered player. Access them anytime through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

💰

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in BDT to keep your spending within your personal budget. Once set, a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive changes. You can request a deposit limit adjustment by contacting our support team at [email protected].

Immediately Active
⏱️

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so that the platform automatically notifies you when your pre-defined play time has been reached. Regular breaks are an important part of maintaining a healthy gambling habit. Session reminders prompt you to step away, reflect on your play, and return only when you feel ready and in control.

Customisable
🔒

Cooling-Off Period

A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to deposit or place bets for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period your account remains open and you can still withdraw any existing balance. This tool is ideal if you feel you need a short break without fully closing your account.

24 hrs – 6 Weeks
🚫

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is gb89's most powerful responsible gaming tool. It permanently or temporarily blocks your access to the gb89 platform, including all games, deposits, and betting markets. Minimum self-exclusion period is 6 months. To activate self-exclusion, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Your account will be suspended within 24 hours of your request being received.

Permanent Option Available
📊

Loss Limits

Set a cap on the total amount you are willing to lose within a defined time period. When your net loss reaches the limit, your ability to place further bets is automatically paused for the remainder of that period. Loss limits are an effective safeguard against chasing behaviour and help you keep gambling firmly within affordable boundaries.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly
🎯

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen reality checks that display a summary of how long you have been playing and the net result of your session so far. These prompts appear at regular intervals during active gaming sessions and serve as a gentle but effective reminder to assess whether you are playing within your intended limits before continuing.

Configurable Intervals

How to Activate These Tools: All responsible gaming tools can be activated by contacting the gb89 support team at [email protected] or via live chat. Include your registered username and the tool you wish to activate in your message. Our team will confirm activation within 24 hours. Deposit limit reductions and self-exclusion requests are prioritised and processed as quickly as possible.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and often goes unnoticed until it has become a serious concern. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful. If you recognise any of these in yourself or someone you know, please seek help.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or increasing bet sizes to chase a particular outcome.

Gambling with money needed for essential expenses such as rent, food, utility bills, or family obligations.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to reduce or stop gambling activity.

Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the amount of time or money spent gambling.

Repeatedly returning to gambling in an attempt to recover money lost in previous sessions — commonly known as "chasing losses".

Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health in favour of gambling activity.

Borrowing money, selling personal possessions, or taking out loans to fund gambling activity.

Making multiple failed attempts to cut back, control, or stop gambling without sustained success.

Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties.

Experiencing persistent thoughts about gambling — planning the next session, reliving past bets, or thinking about how to get more money to wager.

You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life. Recognising the signs is the first and most important step. gb89's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide confidential assistance. You can also use our self-exclusion tool at any time to immediately stop access to your account while you seek help.

Self-Assessment Questionnaire

The questions to the right are designed to help you reflect honestly on your gambling habits. They are not a clinical diagnostic tool, but answering "yes" to two or more questions may suggest that your gambling is causing harm and that you should consider using one of gb89's account management tools or seeking external professional support.

This questionnaire is completely private. Your answers are for your own reflection only and are not submitted to gb89 or any third party. We encourage all players to revisit these questions periodically as part of maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling.

Next Steps: If your answers concern you, contact our support team at [email protected] or request immediate self-exclusion. Your wellbeing always takes priority over your account activity.

Reflect on Your Gambling Habits

Answer honestly — this is for your benefit only.

1

Have you ever spent more money gambling than you had originally intended to in a single session?

2

Have you ever used money set aside for essential expenses — rent, food, or bills — to place bets or fund casino play?

3

Have you tried to win back money you have lost by placing further bets, rather than accepting the loss?

4

Have you concealed the extent of your gambling activity from family members, friends, or anyone close to you?

5

Have you ever borrowed money, sold belongings, or relied on others financially due to losses from gambling?

6

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — planning when you will next play or how to fund your next session?

7

Have you felt restless, agitated, or distressed when you have been unable to gamble for a period of time?

8

Has gambling ever negatively affected your work, academic performance, relationships, or physical and mental health?

Why gb89 Takes Responsible Gaming Seriously

Our responsible gaming commitment goes beyond regulatory compliance. It is a core part of who we are as a platform trusted by players across Bangladesh.

Player Safety First

Every feature, promotion, and game on gb89 is designed with player safety in mind. We do not offer promotions that incentivise reckless play, and all bonus terms are clearly stated in plain English so players know exactly what they are accepting.

Secure & Encrypted Platform

gb89 uses 256-bit SSL encryption to protect all player data and transactions. Your financial information — including bKash, Nagad, and Rocket account details — is handled with the highest levels of security so you can focus on playing with confidence.

Behavioural Pattern Monitoring

Our risk management systems continuously analyse player activity to detect patterns that may indicate problem gambling — such as rapid deposit increases, extended uninterrupted sessions, or aggressive loss-chasing behaviour. When flagged, our team intervenes proactively.

Mandatory KYC & Age Verification

All gb89 players must complete full identity verification before accessing real-money features. This mandatory KYC process confirms every player is aged 21 or above, is a resident of a supported region, and is gambling with their own funds — not borrowed or misappropriated money.

Empathetic Support Team

Our 24/7 support team includes staff specifically trained in responsible gambling conversations. Every interaction involving a player concern is treated with complete confidentiality, sensitivity, and a genuine commitment to the player's wellbeing above all else.

Clear Terms & Fair Play

gb89's Terms and Conditions and bonus rules are written in clear, accessible English — not buried in legalese. We believe every player deserves to understand the rules before committing funds, and we are committed to fair play verified by independent game auditing processes.
