Our Protective Measures

We offer a range of tools and services to keep your betting experience on the 189bet platform safe and enjoyable.

Set a Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Limits take effect immediately once set. Any request to increase your limit requires a minimum 7-day waiting period.

Session Time Control

At 189bet, you can set a session time limit before you start playing. Once that time is up, you'll receive an automatic alert and can choose to end your session. It's a great way to break the habit of playing for too long.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break, you can temporarily suspend your account for a set period — from 1 week up to 5 years. During this time, you won't receive any marketing communications either.

Real-Time Betting History

Ad Controls

If you'd like to opt out of promotional emails or ads, you can turn off marketing communications anytime from your account settings. We respect your preferences.

About Responsible Gaming Details

What Is Responsible Gambling and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means enjoying betting as entertainment — not as a source of income or a way to solve problems. 189bet believes every player deserves a safe, balanced, and enjoyable betting experience.

Online betting is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, making responsible gaming more important than ever. At 189bet, we want you to play with awareness, stay within your limits, and seek support whenever you need it.

Keep in mind: Betting is never a reliable source of income. It's a form of entertainment — and that's exactly how it should be treated.

189bet's responsible gambling policy is built on three core pillars: Awareness, Control & Support. We go beyond just providing tools — our entire platform is designed to detect patterns of addictive behaviour and automatically trigger alerts when they arise.

18+ Policy & Age Verification

189bet strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from using the platform. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and proof of age is required as part of the KYC process.

  • Date of birth is verified at the time of registration.
  • A government-issued ID or passport is required to verify your age before your first withdrawal.
  • Additional verification may be requested on any account that appears suspicious, at any time.
  • Any account identified as belonging to a minor will be closed immediately.

If you believe a minor has accessed 189bet using your device, please contact us immediately.

A Practical Guide to Setting Limits

At 189bet, you can set your own limits on betting activity. Go to the "Responsible Gaming" section in your Account Settings and choose from the options below:

  1. Deposit Limit: Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Decreases apply instantly; increases take effect after 7 days.
  2. Loss Limit: Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose within a given period. Once you hit that limit, betting will automatically stop.
  3. Bet Limit: Set a maximum amount you can place on a single bet.
  4. Session Time Limit: Decide in advance how long you'll play in a single session.
  5. Cooling-Off Period: Take a temporary break for anywhere between 1 day and 6 weeks.

Setting limits isn't a sign of weakness — it's what smart bettors do. The best players on 189bet are the ones who know their boundaries.

Entertainment or Addiction — Know the Difference

The line between healthy betting and problematic betting isn't always clear. Here's a comparison of the two:

✔ Healthy Betting

  • Play within a set budget
  • Don't get discouraged by losses
  • You can step away from betting and do other things
  • Spend time with family and friends
  • Treat winnings as a bonus

✘ Problematic Betting

  • Exceeding Your Budget
  • Chase losses with more betting
  • Lie about their betting
  • Skip sleep or work to keep playing
  • Feel anxious when unable to bet

If you recognise any of the signs in the second column, please contact the 189bet support centre or use the self-exclusion feature right away.

Protecting Family & Loved Ones

Responsible gaming at 189bet isn't just about you — it's about everyone in your household. If you think someone close to you may be betting excessively, here are some practical steps you can take:

  • Raise your concerns calmly and without placing blame.
  • Contact the 189bet support centre on behalf of a third party.
  • Seek help from a professional counselling service.
  • Use parental control software on shared devices.

189bet believes a happy family makes for the best betting environment. We're always here for you.

Decreasing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, requests to increase the limit require a waiting period of at least 7 business days. This rule protects you from making impulsive decisions to bet more in the heat of the moment.

Cooling Off is a temporary break lasting between 1 day and 6 weeks, after which your account is reactivated automatically. Self-Exclusion is a longer-term measure — from 1 week up to 5 years — and reactivating your account once the period ends requires a separate verification process.
