1. Introduction

Playing at 98vip means being part of a fun and safe gaming experience. We believe online gaming should be a form of entertainment — where enjoyment comes first, not winning money. To us, responsible gaming means having full control over your time and money at every step.

Millions of people in Bangladesh enjoy online gaming every day. For a small number, however, it can turn into an addiction. We want none of our players to fall into that trap. That's why 98vip has built multiple protective measures, tools, and guidelines to keep you on the right track at all times.

On this page you'll find out how to practice responsible gaming, which warning signs to watch for, and where to get help if you need it. 98vip is always here for you.

Keep in Mind: Gaming is entertainment. If it stops feeling enjoyable or starts adding stress, take a break right away and talk to our support team.

2. What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible Gaming means playing with awareness and self-control. It's not a strict prohibition — it's a healthy habit that keeps you and your family safe.

The core principles of responsible gaming at 98vip are:

  • Play on Schedule: Set aside a fixed time each day for gaming and dedicate the rest to family, work, and rest.
  • Stick to Your Budget: Only bet what you can afford to lose. Never play with borrowed money or by dipping into your savings.
  • Understand the Reality: Gaming is primarily entertainment. Chasing big wins by playing on and on is not the right approach.
  • Check in with yourself: If you feel angry, anxious, or frustrated while playing, take a break.
  • Think About Your Family: Don't let gaming affect your relationships with family or loved ones.

98vip's responsible gaming policy is built to international standards. We want you to enjoy gaming in a healthy and happy way for the long term.

3. 98vip's Protection Tools

98vip has developed several effective protection tools for its players. These tools are simple to use and can be activated at any time from your account settings.

  • Deposit Limit: Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
  • Loss Limit: Gaming will stop automatically once your losses exceed the set amount.
  • Session Time Limit: Set a time limit for how long you play in a single session.
  • Reality Check: On-screen notifications will appear at regular intervals to remind you how long you have been playing.
  • Cooling-Off Period: Temporarily pause your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days.
  • Self-Exclusion: Fully lock your account to stay away from gaming for an extended period.

Once these tools are activated, they cannot be changed before the set time period expires. This is intentional, to prevent limits from being broken in a moment of impulse.

4. Warning Signs

Problem gaming doesn't always start suddenly — it builds up gradually. Watch out for the following signs:

Losing Track of Time

You've been playing for hours without realizing how much time has passed.

Playing Beyond Your Budget

Chasing losses by placing increasingly larger bets.

Social Isolation

You are spending less time with family and friends and prioritizing gaming instead.

Emotional Distress

You feel intense anger, sadness, or anxiety when you are not playing or when you lose.

Neglecting Work and Studies

Gaming is causing you to miss work, studies, or everyday responsibilities.

Privacy

You are hiding your gaming activity or spending from your family.

If you notice even one of the above signs in yourself, don't wait — take a break and reach out to 98vip support.

5. Self-Assessment Questionnaire

Ask yourself the questions below. If most of your answers are "yes," consider seeking professional help.

1

Have you ever spent more than your intended budget and felt regret afterwards?

2

Have you repeatedly placed larger bets to try to recover money you've lost?

3

Have you tried to cut back or stop gaming but couldn't?

4

Have you put gaming ahead of work, family, or other responsibilities?

5

Have you hidden your gaming-related spending or time from family or friends?

6

Do you feel restless, irritable, or moody when you're unable to play?

7

Have you taken out loans or dipped into your savings to fund gaming?

Result: If you answered "Yes" to more than 3 questions, it's worth reviewing your gaming habits. Reach out to our support team or a professional counsellor for help.

6. Limit-Setting Guide

Setting limits at 98vip is straightforward. Go to your account settings, navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section, and you can set the following limits yourself:

Limit Type Duration Active Period Status

Session Time Per Session Instant Active
Reality Check 30 Minutes / 1 Hour Instant Active
Cooling-Off 24 Hours – 30 Days Instant Submit Request

Tip: Review your limits once a month. If your income changes or life pressures increase, lower your limits further.

7. Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the strongest protection tool available. If you feel your gaming is getting out of control, use this option. Once self-exclusion is activated:

  • No deposits or gameplay will be possible during this period.
  • You will not receive any promotional emails or notifications from 98vip.
  • Your account cannot be reactivated before the self-exclusion period ends.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

The questions our players ask most often.

Not at all. Responsible gaming means enjoying games in a controlled way. It's a healthy habit where you stick to a budget and time limits and treat gaming as entertainment — not a source of income.

Log in to your account and go to "Account Settings" → "Responsible Gaming". From there you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one requires a 7-day waiting period.

Yes. When you activate self-exclusion, you are given the opportunity to withdraw any remaining balance in your account. Please contact our support team for more details.

Start with an open, non-judgmental, and empathetic conversation. Help them reach out to 98vip support or consult a local mental health professional. Family support is the greatest strength in overcoming addiction.

A cooling-off period is a temporary break lasting 24 hours to 30 days — it is lifted automatically once the period ends. Self-exclusion is a longer-term solution — from 6 months to permanent — where a review is required to reactivate your account even after the period expires.

No, it is strictly prohibited. 98vip follows a rigorous age verification process. Identity is verified at registration and before the first withdrawal. Any attempt by a minor to open an account is rejected.
