Addiction Prevention Limit Setting Feature Self-Exclusion Option Time Control

Why Responsible Gaming So Important?

At w19, we believe gaming should be a source of entertainment — not stress or financial hardship. Responsible gaming means knowing your limits, staying in control of your time and money, and making sure gaming never gets in the way of what matters most in life.

Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh. However, many people are unaware that gaming addiction is a real problem that can seriously harm family life, careers, and mental health. w19 is fully committed to raising awareness about this issue and supporting you every step of the way.

Under w19's responsible gaming policy, we provide a range of practical tools and support options. You can set your own deposit limits, take a break from your account for a set period, or opt for a longer-term self-exclusion.

Keep in Mind: Gaming is purely for entertainment. Never play with borrowed money or your savings. There are no guaranteed wins — every game carries an equal chance of loss.

If you feel your gaming is getting out of control, don't wait — contact our support team right away. w19's responsible gaming team is always ready to help.

Enjoy gaming, but always within your limits. Spend time with family, stay focused on work, and look after your mental wellbeing. w19 wants you to stay happy and healthy.

Are you playing repeatedly to chase your losses?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you can't play?
Are you lying to family or friends about your gaming?
Is gaming affecting your work or studies?
Are you playing with borrowed money or draining your savings?

If more than two of your answers are "Yes", please reach out for support.

  • Lying to family about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or angry when unable to play.
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities to spend time gaming.
  • Playing with borrowed money, loans, or by depleting your savings.
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back on gaming but failing to do so.

About Responsible Gaming Frequently Asked Questions

Responsible gaming means keeping gaming strictly as entertainment and knowing your limits before you play. This includes setting a budget, managing your time, and making sure gaming has no negative impact on your personal or family life. w19 provides all the tools and support you need to do exactly that.

No, self-exclusion does not affect your account balance — it remains completely safe. Once the self-exclusion period ends, you can log back in and withdraw your funds. However, playing or making deposits during the exclusion period will not be possible.

Lowering a limit takes effect immediately — we apply it right away with your protection in mind. However, increasing a limit has a 24-hour cooling-off period, giving you time to think the decision through. This is an important part of ensuring responsible play.

Start by talking to them with empathy. Listen without judgment and encourage them to seek professional help. You can also reach out to the w19 support team — we are here to assist family members too. Remember, addiction is an illness, and with the right support, recovery is possible.

A cooling-off period is a short-term break — typically from 1 day to 6 weeks — designed to pause your play temporarily. Self-exclusion is a longer-term solution lasting from 6 months to 5 years, and cannot be reversed before the period ends. Self-exclusion is the better option for more serious concerns.

w19 is strictly an 18+ platform. Age verification is required at registration, and KYC documents may be requested if there is any doubt. If a user is found to be underage, their account will be closed immediately. Parents and guardians are advised to use parental controls on their children's devices.
