Gaming For Entertainment, not for addiction

Online gaming is fun, exciting, and entertaining. But like any form of entertainment, it's best enjoyed in moderation. akbd doesn't treat responsible gaming as just a rule — it's a core part of who we are.

Many people in Bangladesh are new to online gaming. Some end up spending more time or money than they intended without even realising it. akbd wants to help you spot those moments early and stay in control.

On this page you'll find: how to tell when gaming is becoming a problem, what protective tools are available on akbd, and where to get help if you need it.

akbd's Commitment: We never encourage anyone to play more than they should. Your wellbeing matters more to us than our bottom line.

Recognising Signs of Problem Gaming

There are signs that indicate gaming has crossed the line from entertainment to a problem. If any of the following apply to you, consider reaching out for help.

  • After a loss, you bet more to try to win back what you lost
  • Gaming is pulling you away from family, friends, or work
  • You're lying or hiding the truth about your gaming
  • You are using bill or household money for gaming
  • Feel restless or irritable when you're not playing
  • You've tried to stop but can't
  • You're counting on winnings from gaming to solve all your problems

Even one of the signs above could be an early warning. Seeking help now is the best decision you can make.

Practical Tips for Safe Gaming

Responsible gaming doesn't mean quitting — it means playing with awareness. Follow the tips below to keep gaming enjoyable at all times.

  • Set a budget before you play — an amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your life
  • Set a time limit — it is best not to play for more than two hours at a stretch
  • Remember: gaming is entertainment, not a way to earn money
  • Once your budget is gone, stop for the day — you can always play again tomorrow
  • Avoid gaming when you are upset, stressed, or have been drinking
  • Take regular breaks and shift your focus to other activities
  • Let your family know about your gaming — keeping it hidden only makes things worse

Protection of Minors

Akbd strictly follows an 18+ policy. If there are children or teenagers in your household, you also have a responsibility to keep the gaming platform away from them.

  • Keep a password and screen lock on your device
  • Never share your akbd account password with anyone
  • It is best to avoid gaming in front of children
  • Enable Parental Controls on your device

If you become aware that a minor is using akbd, contact support immediately — we will take action without delay.
