What Is Responsible Gaming and Why Does It Matter?
Online gaming and Sports Betting are growing in popularity across Bangladesh. Millions of people play on Habej every day for entertainment. But like any form of recreation, gaming can become a problem rather than a pleasure if it gets out of hand.
Responsible gaming means enjoying games on your own terms — setting your own limits on time and money, keeping gaming from taking priority over family and work, and making clear-headed decisions even when you lose. Habej always wants your gaming experience to stay positive and healthy.
Keep in Mind: Gaming is entertainment, not a reliable source of income. Every responsible player knows when to stop.
What Are the Signs of Problem Gaming?
It is not always easy to notice when casual entertainment starts turning into a problem. Watch out for these warning signs:
- The urge to bet more after a loss: Chasing losses by continuing to play repeatedly.
- Going over budget: Spending beyond your set limit.
- Hiding it from family and friends: Hiding your gaming habits.
- Losing focus on work or studies: Skipping daily responsibilities because of gaming.
- Disrupted sleep or eating habits: Thinking about gaming excessively.
- Playing with borrowed money: Betting with borrowed money or your savings.
Warning: If you notice two or more of the above signs, do not wait — reach out for help. The Habej support team is here for you.
Habej's Responsible Gaming Tools
Habej provides several effective tools on its platform to help you stay in control. These tools are completely free and available to use at any time.
- Deposit Limit: Set a limit on your daily, weekly, or monthly deposits.
- Loss Limit: Decide in advance the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period.
- Session Time Limit: Set a time limit on how long you play in a single session.
- Reality Check: At regular intervals, the platform will remind you how long you've been playing.
- Cooldown Period: Temporarily suspend your account for a few days.
- Self-Exclusion: The option to lock your account for an extended period.
To activate a tool: Go to Account Settings and set any limit from the "Responsible Gaming" section. Changes may take up to 24 hours to take effect.
Self-Exclusion Process
If you feel like you need a break, self-exclusion is an effective option. On Habej, you can set a self-exclusion period ranging from 6 months to 5 years.
During self-exclusion, you will not be able to log in to the platform, you will not receive any marketing messages, and any balance in your account will be kept safe. Once the period ends, a cooling-off period must pass before your account can be reactivated.
Protection of Minors
Habej strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from registering or playing. Our KYC verification process ensures every user is of legal age.
If you have children or teenagers at home, password-protect your devices and keep gaming apps out of sight. Use parental control software that blocks access to online gaming sites.
