Our Responsible Gaming Measures
Player Protection Features Always Available on 18aa
Setting a Deposit Limit
You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits take effect immediately once set, and a 7-day waiting period applies before any increase.

Self-Exclusion Program
If you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. Your account will be completely closed for the entire duration.
Age Verification System
18aa strictly prohibits account registration for anyone under 18. Age verification can be initiated at any time if there is reason for suspicion.
Gaming Pattern Monitoring
Our system automatically detects unusual gaming patterns and can offer direct support when needed.
What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?
Responsible gaming means keeping gaming a healthy part of your entertainment — where you stay in full control of your time, money, and emotions. At 18aa, we believe every player's gaming experience should be enjoyable, safe, and within their limits.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, with thousands of people enjoying slots, Live Casino, and Sports Betting on 18aa every day. Most players engage responsibly, but gaming can become problematic for some. That is why we provide responsible gaming tools and information.
Gaming should only ever be done with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. Never gamble with money set aside for rent, food, medical expenses, or family needs. This is the core principle behind 18aa's responsible gaming policy.
Recognize the Warning Signs
It's not always easy to tell when casual gaming has become a problem. Watch for the signs below — if two or more apply to you, consider reaching out for help:
| Types of Symptoms | Details |
|---|---|
| Financial Pressure | Playing with borrowed money or dipping into savings; chasing losses with more bets |
| Loss of Time Control | Playing for hours on end, losing track of sleep or meals |
| Psychological Dependency | Feeling restless or irritable when you're not playing; mood drops when you can't play |
| Impact on Relationships | Hiding your gaming from family or friends; neglecting work or studies |
| Repeated Failed Attempts | Tried to quit but couldn't; keep repeating the same mistakes |
| Dishonesty | Hiding from family how long you've been playing or how much you've spent |
These signs are not a sign of weakness — they are symptoms of a mental health condition that is treatable. Asking for help takes courage.
10 Rules for Healthy Gaming
- Set a Budget: Decide how much BDT you are willing to spend per session before you start, and stick to that limit.
- Respect Time Limits: Decide how many hours a day you want to play and set an alarm.
- Accept Your Losses: Losses are a normal part of gaming. Don't chase losses by placing more bets to try to win back what you've lost.
- Don't play on emotion: Avoid gaming when you are angry, upset, or under stress.
- Don't Play Under the Influence: Alcohol or substances impair your judgment and make it harder to make sound decisions.
- Take a Break: Take a 15-minute break every hour — get up, walk around, and drink some water.
- Let Your Family Know: Letting your family know how long you play and how much you spend keeps things transparent.
- Keep other hobbies: Keep a balanced life — make room for other hobbies and activities beyond gaming.
- Don't expect to win: Expecting to win every game will only lead to more frustration.
- Seek Help: If you think there is a problem, don't hide it — our support team is always here for you.
