Bw98's Responsible Gaming Protection Tools

We don't just offer betting — we take responsibility for keeping you safe

Budget
Set a Deposit Limit

Set a limit on your daily, weekly, or monthly deposits. Once set, you won't be able to deposit beyond that threshold — putting you firmly in control of your own decisions.

Betting
Set Betting Limits

Set a maximum limit on how much you spend per bet. This is the most effective feature for protecting yourself from significant losses.

Break
Cooling-Off Period

Feeling a little burnt out or stressed? Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account will be automatically suspended for that duration.

Self-Exclusion
Long-Term Account Closure

You can voluntarily close your account for anywhere between 3 months and 5 years. During this period, no bonuses or promotional offers will be sent to you.

Warning
Real-Time Spending Alerts

When you approach 80% of your set limit, bw98 will automatically send you an SMS alert and an on-platform notification.

Tips
Free Support Services

If you feel your betting is getting out of control, bw98's support team offers free, completely confidential guidance.

What Is Responsible Gaming and Why Does It Matter?

At bw98, we believe betting is entertainment — full stop. There's a world of difference between placing a bet to add a little excitement to a cricket match and losing your household money you can't afford to lose. Responsible gaming means knowing where that line is and having the strength to hold it.

Since online betting is relatively new in Bangladesh, many people don't know how to enjoy it within healthy limits. bw98 has always been committed to raising awareness on this — because in the long run, a happy and responsible community is the true foundation of our platform.

The golden rules of safe betting

Whether you're new to betting or simply want to play more responsibly, keeping these guidelines in mind every day will ensure betting stays enjoyable.

  • Set your betting budget at the start of each month — treat it as entertainment spending, not money from your savings.
  • Accept your losses — chasing them by placing bet after bet is the most dangerous habit you can develop.
  • After a win, pause before placing a large bet in the heat of the moment.
  • Spend time with friends or family — don't let betting be your only source of entertainment.
  • Never bet with borrowed money or funds meant for household expenses.
  • Avoid betting when you're stressed or feeling down — it leads to poor decisions.
  • Don't think of betting as a source of income — it's entertainment.

How Does Problem Gambling Start?

Most people don't realise when they're crossing the line from casual betting into problem gambling. It doesn't happen overnight — it creeps up gradually. It starts with spending just a little over budget, then trying to chase losses, then betting in secret. That cycle is what makes it dangerous.

Research shows that only 3–5% of all bettors experience problem gambling. But for that small group, the impact on their lives can be severe. bw98 is committed to bringing that number down further.

Bw98 monitors the betting patterns of every member. If unusual activity is detected — such as suddenly placing much larger bets or playing for several consecutive hours — our system flags it automatically and the support team will reach out if needed.

Remember: there is no "guaranteed" way to win in betting. Anyone promising guaranteed winning tips is a scam.

FAQ

Direct Answers on Referring Friends & Account Suspension

Yes, bw98 has a referral program. You'll find a unique referral link under "Invite Friends" or the referral section in your profile. Share that link with a friend — once they register through it and make their first deposit, a referral bonus will be credited to your account. The bonus amount is shown on the promotions page and may vary depending on the current offer. One important thing to keep in mind: referred friends must sign up out of genuine interest. Creating multiple fake accounts to earn bonuses will result in all accounts being permanently suspended. Visit the latest promotions page for up-to-date details on the referral bonus.

Absolutely. bw98 offers a temporary break option without fully closing your account — this is known as a Cooling-Off or Temporary Suspension. Go to the "Responsible Gaming" section in your Account Settings and select the Cooling-Off option. You can suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any bets. Your account will reactivate automatically once the period expires — however, this does not apply to Self-Exclusion, where you must submit a request to reactivate manually. If you're looking for a longer break — 3 months or more — Self-Exclusion is the recommended option.
