97games believes betting is entertainment – it should never be a source of stress, anxiety, or addiction. That's why we've built responsible gaming tools into the heart of our platform from day one. Your play, your control.
Keep in mind: 97games' responsible gaming tools are completely free and available at any time. If you ever need help, support@97games.xyz-to get in touch.
From the very beginning of building 97games, one thing was clear — when betting starts causing problems in someone's life, it's no longer entertainment. That's why we want every member to play mindfully, within their own budget, and for the enjoyment of it.
Responsible gaming isn't just about protecting your money. It's about being mindful of your time, mental wellbeing, and relationships too. 97games wants its platform to add positive entertainment to members' lives – not take away from them.
That's why responsible gaming tools on 97games are never hidden away. They're easy to find in your account settings, explained in Bengali, and require no justification to activate.
97games offers three key tools that users can manage entirely on their own. These tools are designed to help you set your own limits – not for us to decide them for you.
Lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately. Raising it requires a 24-hour cooling period — this is intentional, so you don't make a rushed decision in the heat of the moment.
The most important skill in betting is managing your budget. Responsible budget management on 97games means only wagering what you can afford to lose.
A simple rule: keep your betting budget completely separate. Money for household expenses, rent, or your children's school fees should never be part of your betting budget. Only bet with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your life.
Setting a deposit limit on 97games keeps your budget in check automatically. Set a limit at the start of the month and the system won't let you go beyond it for the rest of the month.
Problem gambling rarely develops overnight. It builds up gradually. If you notice any of the signs below in yourself, pause – it may be time to seek help.
If any of these signs feel familiar, it's time to use the responsible gaming tools

Not Just Words — How Our Commitment Shows in Practice
All of 97games' protection tools can be activated directly from your Settings — no need to contact support or ask for permission. Your choice, your control.
Deposit limits and self-exclusion take effect immediately — no waiting, no processing delays.
All of 97games' responsible gaming options are explained in Bengali, so everything is clear even if you don't read English.
No one under 18 is permitted to open an account under any circumstances. If age verification flags a discrepancy during KYC, action is taken immediately.
If you're struggling at any point, reach out to our support team. You can speak in Bangla, without any judgment – just help.
Lowering your deposit limit takes a second. Raising it requires a 24-hour cooling period — that's by design, to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Online betting by anyone under 18 is prohibited in Bangladesh and everywhere else. 97games enforces this rule strictly.
Date of birth is verified at registration. Before your first withdrawal, you must confirm your age via KYC using a valid ID. If a user is found to be under 18, the account is immediately closed and all data is permanently deleted.
If there are teenagers in your home, use parental controls on your devices. It's also a good habit to avoid saving your 97games password in your browser's password manager.
Speaking up about a gambling problem takes courage. Many people stay silent out of shame or fear — but the problem only grows on its own. The 97games support team doesn't judge; they're here to help.
If you feel betting is getting out of control, reach out via live chat. A support agent can activate self-exclusion on the spot and offer guidance. No fees, no judgment.
We know no one chooses to become addicted. Asking for help when things go wrong isn't a weakness — it's the smart thing to do. 97games is always here for you.

97games is a betting platform, and we know that most bettors lose money over the long run. There's no point hiding it. The casino or sportsbook always has a slight mathematical edge — that's just how the numbers work.
So why bet at all? There's really one reason — entertainment. Placing a bet on a cricket match makes every ball more exciting. Putting ৳200 on a big match and spending ৳200 on a movie ticket are both ways to enjoy yourself. You don't expect your money back after a movie, and betting should be no different.
97games will be straight with you – don't treat betting as a source of income. Many people believe that with the right strategy, they can consistently win. That may hold true for a while, but in the long run, the odds always favor the platform. Keeping that truth in mind is what makes betting enjoyable.
We want every session on 97games to bring you joy and excitement — and even when you lose, we want you to walk away with a smile. That's what a healthy betting culture looks like, and our responsible gaming tools are here to help build it.
Our vision is a platform where no one's life is negatively affected by betting. That's only possible when every member plays mindfully and within their limits.
Say Rahela earns ৳30,000 a month. After household costs, rent, and her child's school fees, ৳24,000 is already spoken for. From the remaining ৳6,000, she sets aside ৳1,000 as her betting budget. Even if she loses all of it, it won't affect the household.
Rahela has set a monthly deposit limit of ৳1,000 on 97games. Even when excitement peaks during the BPL season and she feels the urge to deposit more, the system won't allow it. At month's end, she may have lost ৳300 or won ৳500 — but she enjoyed the betting and it had zero impact on her household.
Here's another example. Karim lost ৳2,000 on a big match. Every instinct told him to chase the loss with another bet. But he had already set a session timer — when the session ended, the alert came up. He stopped. The next day, with a clear head, he thought it over: that ৳2,000 was spent like a night at the cinema. Life goes on.
Both stories share the same lesson – using 97games' tools keeps betting fun. Not using them increases the risk.
Betting with borrowed money, spending your entire paycheck, chasing losses in anger, playing through the night without stopping, and treating betting as a source of income – these five behaviors are warning signs of a serious problem.
