What is Responsible Gaming and why does it matter?
Responsible Gaming means treating gaming as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income or a way to recover lost money. At y71, we believe every player should know their limits and enjoy the experience within them.
Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh. Most people play for entertainment and never run into issues. But for a small number, gaming can sometimes get out of hand. y71 is here for those people too — without judgment, with a helping hand.
Y71's responsible gaming policy is built on three core pillars:
- Awareness: Giving players accurate information so they can make informed decisions.
- Control: Stay fully in control with tools like bet limits, session timers, and self-exclusion.
- Support: Directing users to professional support and providing assistance when needed.
How to Recognize Warning Signs
Gaming addiction doesn't always come on suddenly — it builds gradually. If you notice the following signs in yourself or someone close to you, it's worth paying attention. Go through these questions — if more than three answers are "yes", seeking help is the smart move.
y71's Protective Tools
Y71 wants you to always stay in control of your gaming experience. To help with that, we've built a set of powerful tools you can activate from your account at any time.
| Tool Name | How It Works | Takes Effect | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Set Daily, Weekly, or Monthly Deposit Limits | Immediate | Active |
| Bet Limit | Control Your Maximum Wager Within a Set Time Period | Immediate | Active |
| Loss Limit | Session ends automatically once losses reach a set amount | Immediate | Active |
| Session Time Limit | Set a Daily Time Limit for Gaming | Immediate | Optional |
| Cooling-Off Break | Temporary account suspension from 1 day up to 6 weeks | Immediate | Requestable |
| Self-Exclusion | Account deactivation from 6 months to permanent | Within 24 hours | Requestable |
How to Set a Deposit Limit
Log in to your account and go to "Account Settings" > "Responsible Gaming". From there you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day waiting period — but reductions take effect immediately.
What is Self-Exclusion and how does it work?
Self-Exclusion is a powerful tool that lets you pause your activity on y71 for a set period or permanently. During this time, you won't be able to log in or receive any promotional messages. Once a self-exclusion is in effect, it cannot be cancelled before the exclusion period ends.
Tips for Healthy Gaming Habits
Responsible gaming isn't about stopping — it's about playing the right way. Building the habits below keeps gaming enjoyable and free from negative consequences.
- Set Your Budget First: Decide in advance how much you want to wager each day or week, and stick to it.
- Set a Time Limit: Decide on your session length before you start playing. Use an alarm or timer to stay on track.
- Take a break when you're tired or stressed: Gaming while upset or stressed can make things worse.
- Don't rush after a loss: Chasing losses with impulsive decisions is the most harmful thing you can do.
- Don't Play Under the Influence: When you're in this state, making the right decisions becomes much harder.
- Don't make gaming your only form of entertainment: Make time for friends, family, sports, and other hobbies too.
- Never treat a win as a certainty: Wins and losses are both part of gaming — no bet comes with a guaranteed outcome.
- Take Regular Breaks: Take at least a 15-minute break every hour — get up, walk around, and drink some water.
Minor Protection & the Role of Parents
Y71 is strictly prohibited for anyone under 18. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and additional KYC checks are carried out on suspicious accounts. That said, your vigilance as a parent is just as important.
Advice for Parents
- Use parental control software on home computers and devices.
- Keep your account password and login details away from your children.
- Monitor your child's device usage habits regularly.
- Talk openly about online gaming — raise awareness rather than keeping it hidden.
- If you suspect your child has created an account on a gaming site, contact us immediately at [email protected].
