5xxx Responsible Play — We're With You Every Step Toward Healthier Gaming

What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming consciously, within a plan, and within your financial and mental limits. 5xxx always wants every player to see gaming as a source of entertainment — not a way to earn income.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, and with that comes a greater need for responsible play. It's easy to spend more time or money than you intended without even realizing it. 5xxx addresses this openly and provides players with every tool they need to stay protected.

Remember — gaming is not meant to make you lose. If there ever comes a day when playing feels more like stress than fun, it's time to step back. 5xxx's Responsible Gaming section is ready to help you at exactly that moment.

Recognize the Signs of Problem Gaming

Problem gaming develops gradually and can be hard to spot at first — it's not always clear when entertainment has turned into a problem. Watch out for these signs in yourself:

• Spending beyond your set budget and regretting it afterward.
• The urge to place more bets in an attempt to recover lost money.
• Being unable to stop even when you want to quit gaming.
• Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends.
• Gaming negatively affecting your work, studies, or relationships.
• Feeling restless or irritable when you're not gaming.
• Using gaming as a way to escape life's stress.
• Borrowing money or dipping into savings to fund gaming.

If you recognize two or more of the signs above in yourself, take action now. Use 5xxx's protection tools or reach out to our support team.

5xxx's Responsible Gaming Protection Tools

5xxx gives you several powerful tools to keep your gaming in check. Use them to take full control of your gaming experience:

• Deposit Limit: Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Once set, it takes effect immediately.
• Bet Limit: Set a limit on how much BDT you wager per bet or within a given time period.
• Loss Limit: Gaming is automatically paused once you hit a set loss amount.
• Session Time Limit: Set a time limit for how long you play each day or per session.
• Reality Check: You'll receive periodic reminders letting you know how long you've been playing.
• Cooling-Off Period: Take a break from gaming for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. During this period, placing bets from your account will not be possible.
• Self-Exclusion: For a long-term break, fully deactivate your account for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years.

All these tools are available in your account settings. Reducing any limit takes effect immediately, but increasing a limit requires a 7-day waiting period — this is for your own protection.

Self-Exclusion Program Details

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool in responsible gaming. If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your life, you can close your account for a set period of time.

• 1

  Go to Account Settings

  After logging in, click on your profile in the top right corner and select the "Responsible Gaming" option.

• 2

  Select a Self-Exclusion Option

  Choose the duration that suits you — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years.

• 3

  Complete Verification

  A verification code will be sent to your registered email or mobile number. Enter the code to confirm.

• 4

  Takes Effect Immediately

  Your account is deactivated immediately upon confirmation and cannot be logged into until the chosen period has ended.

Once your self-exclusion period ends, you'll need to contact our support team to reactivate your account and complete a cooling-off period. This process is intentionally designed to take a little time — for your own benefit.

Financial Protection & Budget Planning

The most important aspect of responsible gaming is staying within your financial limits. 5xxx recommends that every player treat gaming as an entertainment expense — just like going to the cinema or dining out.

• Set aside a monthly gaming budget and stick to it.
• Never bet with money meant for emergencies, rent, or household expenses.
• Avoid gaming with credit cards or borrowed money.
• Before each session, ask yourself — can I afford to lose this money without it causing me a problem?
• Win or lose, never let emotions drive you to increase your bets.
• Don't expect gaming to be a source of income. It's entertainment, not an investment.

The example above shows a healthy budget structure. We recommend spending no more than 30% of your monthly entertainment budget on gaming.

The Role of Family & Loved Ones

Responsible gaming isn't just a personal matter — family and close ones can play an important role too. If you believe someone you know is struggling with a gaming addiction, then:

• Speak with compassion, not judgment.
• Help them acknowledge the problem.
• Encourage them to seek professional help.
• You can submit a third-party protection request on behalf of someone at 5xxx.

5xxx can arrange additional account protection at the request of a family member. For this, Help CenterContact us at
