1 What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a form of entertainment — not a way to earn money. At Sona88, we always want our players to play with awareness. That means deciding in advance how much time you'll spend, how much money you're willing to put in, and when to take a break.

Gaming should be an enjoyable experience. When it starts causing stress, financial difficulty, or conflict at home, that's a sign the limits have been crossed. Sona88 is committed to helping every user recognize and respect those limits.

Key Points

Responsible gaming doesn't mean stopping altogether. It means enjoying the game consciously, with a plan, and within the limits you've set for yourself.


2 Why Responsible Gaming Matters

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. Thousands of people visit platforms like Sona88 every day for entertainment. However, without the right knowledge and awareness, gaming can sometimes develop into an addiction — one that affects not just finances, but mental health and family life as well.

Responsible gaming ensures that playing always remains a positive experience. It helps protect you from financial harm, supports your mental wellbeing, and keeps your relationships with family and friends healthy.

Mental Well-being

Planned gaming reduces stress and keeps it fun.

Financial Protection

Sticking to a budget helps you avoid unnecessary losses.

5 Setting Limits — Detailed Guide

Sona88 gives you the ability to set various types of limits on your account. These can be updated at any time through your account settings. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately, while increasing one requires a 24–72 hour cooling-off period.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Bet Limit

Set a maximum stake per bet to avoid significant losses.

Session Time Limit

Set a daily playtime limit and get automatically logged out when the time is up.

Loss Limit

Gaming will automatically stop once you reach your set loss limit.


6 How to Set Up Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gaming, use Sona88's self-exclusion feature. It's completely confidential and straightforward to set up.

  • Go to Account Settings and navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section
  • Choose the self-exclusion option and set your preferred duration
  • 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, or permanent — pick whichever works for you
  • Takes effect immediately upon confirmation
  • No promotional emails will be sent during the exclusion period
Keep in mind

Once self-exclusion is active, it cannot be cancelled before the set period ends. This is by design — to keep you protected.


7 The role of family and friends

Awareness and support from those close to you plays a vital role in preventing gaming addiction. If you think a family member or friend is gaming excessively, take the following steps.

  • Raise your concerns calmly and without judgment
  • Pay attention to their gaming history and spending
  • Encourage them to explore other hobbies and social activities
  • Encourage them to seek professional help if needed
  • Contact the Sona88 Support Team
