Responsible Gaming
at ku98
At ku98, we believe that online gambling should always remain an enjoyable form of entertainment. Our responsible gaming framework gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, guidance, and support needed to stay in control — so the game stays fun.
Your Control, Your Choice
ku98 provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that are available to every registered player at no cost. These tools are designed to help you manage your activity and stay within limits that are right for you.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your ku98 account. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately — you cannot exceed your chosen threshold until you request a change, which requires a mandatory cooling-off period before any increase is applied.
Session Time Limits
Define how long you want each gaming session to last. When your chosen session duration is reached, ku98 will display a clear on-screen reminder. You can choose to end the session or acknowledge the alert — keeping your awareness of time spent actively engaged.
Time-Out / Cooling-Off
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is temporarily suspended and you cannot log in or place bets until the period has fully elapsed.
Self-Exclusion
For players who feel they need a longer break or wish to stop gambling entirely, ku98 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is irrevocable for the duration chosen — no exceptions or early reinstatements will be granted.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic on-screen reality check notifications that appear at intervals you select — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each notification displays your total session time and the net result of your session, giving you a clear and honest picture of your activity.
Activity History
Access a detailed log of your betting history, deposit and withdrawal records, and session durations at any time from your ku98 account dashboard. Reviewing your activity regularly is one of the simplest habits that supports responsible play and informed decision-making.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of their experience level or the amounts involved. Recognising the warning signs early is the most effective step toward regaining control. The following indicators may suggest that gambling has moved from entertainment to a concern.
Common Warning Signs
- Spending more money or time on gambling than you originally intended or can comfortably afford.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling, or when trying to cut down on your gambling activity.
- Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.
- Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the extent of your gambling activity or the amounts involved.
- Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or social activities because of time or money spent gambling.
- Borrowing money from family, friends, or financial institutions specifically to fund gambling activity.
- Feeling a persistent need to gamble with increasingly large amounts of money in order to achieve the same level of excitement or satisfaction.
- Repeatedly making unsuccessful attempts to reduce, control, or stop gambling altogether.
- Turning to gambling as a way to escape personal problems, stress, depression, or feelings of helplessness.
Ask Yourself These Questions
If you honestly answer "yes" to two or more of the following questions, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team or a professional gambling support service without delay.
Have you ever taken time away from work, school, or family to gamble?
Has gambling ever made your home life or relationships unhappy?
Has gambling affected your reputation or standing in your community?
Have you ever felt remorse or guilt after gambling — especially after losing?
Have you ever gambled to pay debts or solve financial difficulties?
Have you ever sold or considered selling personal belongings to fund gambling?
After a win, have you felt a strong urge to return and win even more?
Do you often gamble until every last taka in your session budget is gone?
How to Seek Support
Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you or someone you care about is experiencing difficulties related to gambling, the following steps outline how to access the support available through ku98 and through independent specialist organisations.
Contact ku98 Support Directly
Open the live chat on the ku98 platform at any time — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — and inform our support team that you have a concern about your gambling. Our team is trained to handle these conversations with complete confidentiality and without judgement. They can activate deposit limits, time-outs, or self-exclusion on your behalf immediately upon your request. You can also reach us by email at support at ku98.io.
Use the Self-Exclusion Tool
Log in to your ku98 account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. From there, you can activate self-exclusion for your preferred duration. If you are unable to access your account or prefer not to log in, contact our support team who will action the exclusion directly on your behalf without requiring you to be logged in.
Talk to Someone You Trust
Sometimes the most important step is simply speaking to a trusted family member or friend about what you are going through. Opening up about a gambling concern can relieve significant emotional pressure and help you take the practical steps needed to regain control. You do not need to face this alone.
Seek Professional Counselling
Professional counsellors and mental health professionals who specialise in gambling-related issues can provide structured, evidence-based support tailored to your individual situation. If gambling is causing significant distress or financial hardship, engaging with a professional support service is strongly recommended alongside any tools or restrictions you activate on your ku98 account.
Block Gambling Sites
Consider using device-level content blocking tools or browser extensions that restrict access to gambling websites across all your devices. This adds an additional layer of protection alongside account-level restrictions. If you have self-excluded from ku98, blocking gambling sites on your devices can significantly support your commitment to taking a break.
ku98 Support Commitment: All responsible gaming requests — including deposit limit reductions, time-outs, and self-exclusions — are actioned within minutes of being received. ku98 will never attempt to persuade, delay, or discourage a player from using any responsible gaming tool. Your wellbeing always comes first.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming in Bangladesh
ku98 is built on the principle that gambling should be a leisure activity — enjoyable, voluntary, and within the financial means of the individual player. We recognise that for the vast majority of our players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, and beyond, online betting and casino games are a form of entertainment enjoyed safely and in moderation. Our responsible gaming programme exists to protect those players and to provide a safety net for anyone who may be developing a more complicated relationship with gambling.
How ku98 Monitors for At-Risk Behaviour
Our platform employs automated behavioural monitoring tools that analyse player activity patterns in real time. These systems flag accounts that exhibit indicators associated with at-risk gambling behaviour — such as sharp increases in deposit frequency, extended unbroken session durations, or rapid escalation of bet sizes following a losing streak. When such patterns are detected, a member of our responsible gaming team may proactively reach out to the player to check in and offer guidance on available tools.
ku98 conducts responsible gaming reviews on flagged accounts as part of our standard operating procedures. These reviews are conducted by trained staff and are handled with complete confidentiality. The purpose of these reviews is always to support the player — not to restrict their enjoyment — and any tool activation resulting from a review will be communicated to the player clearly and respectfully.
Protecting Other People in Your Household
If you share a device with other members of your household — including children or young adults — please take steps to ensure that your ku98 account cannot be accessed by others. This includes logging out after each session, using a strong and unique password that you do not share with others, and enabling device-level parental control software where appropriate. ku98 recommends that all players use a dedicated, password-protected device for their ku98 account sessions where this is practical.
Financial Wellbeing and Gambling
Gambling should only ever be funded from disposable income — money that is genuinely spare after all essential living expenses, household costs, and financial obligations have been met. ku98 strongly advises against gambling with borrowed money, funds intended for bills or rent, savings earmarked for specific goals, or money belonging to family members. Using bKash, Nagad, or Rocket deposits for gambling is convenient, but we encourage all players to treat their gambling budget as a separate, fixed portion of their discretionary spending rather than an open-ended draw on available funds.
Keeping Gambling in Perspective
A healthy approach to gambling means accepting that losses are a normal part of play and that outcomes are determined by chance — not skill, strategy, or intuition in the long run. Chasing losses is one of the most common and most harmful patterns in problem gambling. If you find yourself placing bets with the primary motivation of recovering money you have already lost, we strongly encourage you to take a break, review your session history in your account dashboard, and contact our support team if you are struggling to stop. No betting outcome is worth your financial stability or mental wellbeing.
