Gaming is for fun, not stress. We want you to always play safely and in good health.
Get Started Now Get SupportNews24 believes that online gaming should be a healthy and enjoyable form of entertainment. The physical and mental wellbeing of every player on our platform is our top priority. We want to make sure gaming never disrupts the normal rhythm of your life or your relationships with family. To that end, news24 maintains multiple safeguards for all its users. We follow international Responsible Gaming standards and can connect you with professional support whenever you need it. Gaming should be pure fun — free from pressure or anxiety.
Our Responsible Gaming policy has been built with players in Bangladesh in mind. news24 is committed to ensuring every user can set their own limits and access support at any time. We want you to play by choice, not out of compulsion. Our team is always ready to stand by your side and help you take the right steps in any situation. Enjoy gaming — but always put your health and family first.
If you notice any of these signs, take a break immediately and seek support.
Keep track of whether you're spending beyond your set budget. Chasing losses by placing bigger and bigger bets is a dangerous pattern. If you find yourself playing just to win back what you've lost, that's a serious warning sign. news24 urges you to stop right now and seek support.
Spending excessive time gaming every day while neglecting family or work is a cause for concern. If you feel restless or low when you're not playing, it's time to pay attention. If your sleep is suffering or you're starting to avoid daily responsibilities, take a break. Spend time with family or friends and find other hobbies you enjoy.
Feeling irritable or increasingly anxious because of gaming is not normal. Getting overly excited when you win and deeply distressed when you lose are signs of an unhealthy pattern. If you start hiding your gaming activity or being dishonest with family about it, take that as a warning sign. In these situations, news24 encourages you to seek professional help.
Setting a clear financial limit is the first step to enjoying gaming responsibly. Decide in advance the maximum amount you can spend on gaming each week or month. news24 strongly advises against using money set aside for essentials — such as rent, food, or your children's education — for gaming. Only spend what you can afford to lose without it affecting your everyday life. Keep a separate gaming budget, and when it's gone, end the session — resist the temptation to deposit more.
The same principle applies to time. Set a daily limit for how long you'll spend gaming and stick to it. Using a timer or alarm makes it easier to stay on track. Make sure you're leaving enough time for family, exercise, and other hobbies. Remember, a balanced lifestyle is the greatest reward in the long run.
News24 offers a range of practical tools to help you stay in control of your gaming habits.
You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit limit directly within your account. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased before the designated time period ends — though reducing it takes effect immediately. This feature protects you from overspending and helps you build healthier gaming habits. news24 encourages you to set a limit that works for you today. Go to Account Settings to set your deposit limit.
If you'd like to take a temporary break from gaming, use our cooling-off feature. You can choose a break period ranging from 24 hours up to 30 days. During this time, no bets or deposits can be made from your account. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled before it expires, helping you stay committed to your decision. This feature is especially useful during times of stress or anxiety.
If you feel that gaming is seriously harming your life, you can opt for self-exclusion. Activating this feature will prevent you from logging in to or playing on news24 for a set period. Self-exclusion terms range from six months to five years and are strictly enforced. This is not a sign of weakness — it's a courageous act of self-care. To apply for self-exclusion, please contact our support team.
