1 What is Responsible Gaming and why does it matter

Online gaming has become a part of everyday entertainment for millions of people in Bangladesh. From slots to fish games and bingo — every game is fun and exciting. But like any form of entertainment, it's important to keep gaming within healthy limits.

Responsible gaming means keeping gaming a source of enjoyment — never letting it become a source of financial stress or mental strain. At addav1, responsible gaming is more than a policy — it is our commitment to every player.

When gaming shifts from entertainment to compulsion — when it becomes hard to stop even after losing money — something has gone wrong. addav1 wants you to recognise the signs before things go further.

Keep in Mind

Gaming is for entertainment, not income. There are no guaranteed wins, so only play with money you can afford to lose without affecting your household finances.

2 Signs of Healthy Gaming

Healthy and responsible gaming means maintaining a habit where gambling does not negatively affect other areas of your life. If the following statements apply to you, you are gaming in a healthy way:

  • Set a specific budget before you start playing and stick to it.
  • You stay calm after a loss and do not chase your losses by placing larger bets.
  • Alongside gaming, make sure you're giving enough time to your family, work, and social life.
  • You can walk away whenever you feel like it — there is no need to keep playing against your will.
  • Gaming never gets in the way of sleep, meals, or responsibilities.
  • You don't need to lie to family or friends about how much you're spending on gaming.

3 Recognising the Signs of Problem Gaming

Sometimes we don't realise ourselves that gaming is becoming a problem. If you notice any of the following signs, it's time to pay attention:

Financial Warning Signs
  • Spending beyond budget
  • Playing with borrowed money or by breaking savings
  • Skipping bills or debt repayments to keep gaming
  • Chasing losses with bigger bets
Emotional Signs
  • Feeling restless or anxious when unable to play
  • Lying about gaming
  • Neglecting work or family
  • Repeatedly failing to stop gaming
Situation Healthy Gaming Problem Gaming
When You Lose Accept it and stop Chasing losses with bigger bets
When the budget runs out Stop gaming Seeking money from other sources
When family asks Be Honest With Yourself Hiding the truth or lying
After a win Withdraw or stop Keep betting to continue
Warning

If you recognise even one of these signs in yourself, take a break right now and reach out to the addav1 support team.

4 Self-Assessment

Result Analysis

If most of your answers lean toward the last option, consider using addav1's self-exclusion or cooling-off feature, and seek professional support if needed.

5 addav1's Protection Tools

Addav1 offers several effective features to promote responsible gaming on the platform. Players can use any of these tools at any time:

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit caps. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour waiting period.

Betting Limit

Set a maximum amount for a single bet. This is the most effective tool for protecting yourself from significant losses.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you'll play in one session. When the time is up, the system will log you out automatically.

Loss Limit

If you lose beyond a set amount, the system will automatically end your session.

Ad Opt-Out

You can opt out of promotional emails and notifications anytime. This can be a helpful step toward taking a break from gaming.

Reality Check

Pop-up reminders will appear at set intervals — letting you know how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.

6 Tips for Setting Financial Limits

Financial discipline is the cornerstone of responsible gaming. Here are some effective strategies for setting spending limits on addav1:

  • Allocate from your monthly entertainment budget: Set a separate monthly gaming budget — think of it the same way you would a trip to the cinema or a restaurant.
  • Never use emergency funds or savings: Never use household expenses, debt repayments, or savings for gaming under any circumstances.
  • Withdraw after a win: After a big win, withdraw a portion right away — do not put it all back on the line.
  • Use a separate payment method: Keeping a separate mobile banking account for gaming makes it much easier to track and control your spending.
  • Weekly Review: Do a weekly review to see how much you have spent and whether you are staying within your budget.
Keep in Mind

On addav1, lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit, however, require a 24-hour cooling period — this is intentional by design.

7 Self-Exclusion Process and How It Works

Self-exclusion is a feature that lets you temporarily or permanently restrict your own access to the addav1 platform. It's there for those moments when you feel you need to take a break from gaming.

7 Days

For a Short-Term Break

1 Month

For a mid-length break

6 Months

For a longer break

Permanent

For permanent closure

How to Self-Exclude

  • Go to the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings.
  • Select the "Self-Exclusion" option and set the duration.
  • Add a reason (optional) — this helps us improve our service.
  • Confirm — self-exclusion will take effect immediately.
Important

During self-exclusion, no new accounts can be opened and the exclusion cannot be cancelled before it expires. This is intentional by design.

8 Family Role & Minor Protection

Family plays a vital role in responsible gaming. If you are concerned about a loved one's gaming habits, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Speak calmly and without judgment — accusations or anger can make the situation worse.
  • Learn the facts about gaming — problem gambling is a behavioural issue, not a character flaw.
  • Encourage them to seek professional help — it is not a sign of weakness, but of courage.

Minor Protection

Addav1 enforces a strict 18+ policy. Age is verified at registration, and minors are not permitted to open an account.

Advice for Parents and Guardians

Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately. However, requests to increase a limit will only take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period. This delay is intentional, to prevent decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Not directly, as account ownership is personal. However, if a family member believes their loved one is struggling, they can reach out to the addav1 support team. We will take appropriate steps and, where possible, guide them toward professional help.
