Reading this page will help you recognize the signs that indicate you need a break and understand how to keep gaming a positive part of your life.
Keep these things in mind for responsible gaming on 9app
Set a specific time limit for gaming each day and stick to it. Set a timer on your mobile so it automatically reminds you when the allotted time is up. Always prioritize spending time with family and friends.
Set aside a fixed monthly budget for gaming and never go beyond that limit. Avoid placing more bets in an attempt to recover lost money. Always treat your gaming budget as an entertainment expense, not an investment.
If gaming is causing anxiety or frustration instead of enjoyment, it is important to take a break. Stay away from gaming during times of stress or sadness, as your ability to make good decisions is reduced in that state. If needed, talk to someone you trust.
Regularly ask yourself — is gaming having a negative impact on your daily life? Helpful information for self-assessment is available on the 9app responsible gaming page. Honestly review your habits and make changes if needed.
Before logging in to 9app, decide in advance how long you will play today. Use your mobile's screen time feature to set a limit and stick to it.
Set aside a small portion of your monthly income as an entertainment budget. Allocate a fixed amount in bKash or Nagad and decide not to spend any more on gaming that month once it runs out.
Take a break of at least 10 minutes after every 30–45 minutes of gaming. Get up and walk around, drink some water, or chat with family — this keeps your mind refreshed.
Review your gaming activity once a week. Keep track of how much time and money you have spent, and make a plan for the following week.
