Responsible Gaming at 89bat — Your Safety Comes First
89bat is built on the belief that gambling should be an enjoyable, controlled form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page outlines the practical tools, clear boundaries, and support pathways available to every player in Bangladesh who uses our platform.
Our Commitment
Gambling at 89bat Should Always Be in Your Control
At 89bat, responsible gaming is not a legal footnote — it is a core operational principle embedded in how the platform is designed and how our team is trained. We provide cricket betting, casino games, slots, and more to players across Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and Rajshahi. With that reach comes a clear responsibility: to ensure that every player who interacts with 89bat does so in a safe, informed, and voluntary manner.
Gambling involves real money and real risk. When approached responsibly, it can be a genuinely enjoyable pastime. When approached without boundaries, it can cause serious harm. The tools on this page exist to help you maintain those boundaries — whether you are placing a bet on the Bangladesh Tigers in a T20 match, spinning a slot reel, or playing a live table game at 89bat Casino.
If at any point gambling stops feeling like entertainment and starts feeling like a necessity, an obligation, or a way to recover financial losses — that is a signal to pause. Please use the tools below or contact our support team immediately. We are here to help, not to judge.
Need to Talk to Someone?

Six Tools Built Into 89bat to Keep You Safe
Every one of these features is available to all registered 89bat players at no cost. Access them through your account dashboard or by contacting our support team directly.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and require a 7-day cooling-off period when increased — giving you time to reconsider.
Session Time Limits
Define how long each gaming session on 89bat can last. When your session time limit is reached, you will receive a clear on-screen notification and be logged out automatically. This helps prevent extended, unplanned gambling sessions that can lead to poor decision-making.
Time-Out (Short Break)
Take a temporary break from 89bat for a period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account remains open but you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. This tool is ideal when you feel you need a short pause without closing your account permanently.
Self-Exclusion
Request a self-exclusion for a minimum of 6 months or up to 5 years. Once active, your 89bat account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, and you will not receive any promotional communications. Self-exclusions cannot be reversed before the selected period ends.
Loss Limits
Set a cap on the net amount you are prepared to lose within a defined period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be prevented from placing further bets until the period resets. This tool puts a hard ceiling on the financial impact of any single playing period.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each check displays how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session, giving you a clear, factual snapshot to help you make an informed decision about continuing.
Age Policy
Why the 21+ Rule Matters
Bangladesh law and responsible gaming best practice both recognise that young people are significantly more vulnerable to the negative effects of gambling. Problem gambling behaviours, when they develop during adolescence or early adulthood, are substantially harder to address later in life.
At 89bat, we enforce the 21+ age restriction not merely as a technical requirement but as a genuine commitment to the welfare of young people across Bangladesh. During registration, all players must submit valid government-issued identity documents — such as a National ID card (NID) or passport — confirming they are 21 or older.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use device-level parental controls and to keep their 89bat account credentials private. If you suspect a minor has accessed the 89bat platform, contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will act without delay.
Know the Signs
Warning Signs That Gambling May Be Becoming a Problem
Problematic gambling rarely appears overnight. It typically develops gradually, with patterns that can be easy to rationalise in the short term. Understanding these warning signs early gives you the best chance of addressing them before they escalate.
If you recognise any of the patterns below — in yourself or in someone close to you — we encourage you to act now. Use the self-exclusion or time-out tools available in your 89bat account, or contact our support team directly.
Chasing losses: Placing larger or more frequent bets in an attempt to recover money you have already lost. This is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling.
Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose: Using funds earmarked for rent, food, bills, or family expenses in Bangladesh to fund gambling activity.
Hiding gambling from family or friends: Concealing the frequency, duration, or scale of your betting activity from people close to you.
Feeling unable to stop: Persistent attempts to cut down or stop gambling that are unsuccessful, or feeling restless and irritable when not gambling.
Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, study, or family commitments in Dhaka or elsewhere due to time spent gambling, or gambling as an escape from stress or problems.
Borrowing to gamble: Taking loans, using credit, or borrowing from friends and family specifically to fund gambling deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or other payment methods.
Self-Assessment
Ask Yourself These Questions Honestly
The following questions are designed to help you reflect on your gambling habits. There are no right or wrong answers — this is for your own benefit. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly recommend using one of the protective tools available on 89bat or seeking external support.
Have you ever spent more time or money gambling than you originally intended during a single session?
Have you ever returned to gambling the next day in an attempt to win back money you lost the previous day?
Have you ever felt anxious, irritable, or restless when you were unable to gamble — for example, during Ramadan, Eid, or other periods when you deliberately tried to stop?
Have you ever gambled as a way of escaping stress, family pressure, financial worries, or emotional difficulties?
Have you ever lied to a family member, friend, or employer about how much time or money you spend gambling?
Have you ever felt that gambling is something you need to do, rather than something you choose to do?
Have you ever jeopardised or damaged a personal relationship, job opportunity, or educational commitment because of gambling?
Have you ever used a mobile financial service (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) to borrow or transfer funds specifically to fund a gambling deposit?
