1. What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming in a way that does not negatively affect other areas of your life — your family, work, health, or finances. Sportgy encourages every user to treat gaming as a healthy form of entertainment.

Many people assume gaming is inherently risky. But when approached responsibly, it can help reduce stress, sharpen focus, and provide genuine entertainment. Problems only arise when gaming spirals out of control and begins to disrupt a person's daily life.

The core principles of responsible play on Sportgy are:

  • Gaming is never a way to earn an income — it is simply a form of entertainment.
  • Set Time and Spending Limits — Never play beyond your budget.
  • Do not make decisions based on emotion — Don't chase your losses by placing bigger bets.
  • Always Put Family and Social Life First — gaming should never come before family responsibilities.
  • Don't Hesitate to Seek Help — If something feels wrong, contact Sportgy support right away.
Sportgy is exclusively for players aged 18 and over. Keeping minors away from gaming is both a parental responsibility and a core part of Sportgy's policies.

2. Signs of Problematic Gaming

People often do not realise their gaming habits have gotten out of control. Watch out for these warning signs:

  • Feeling angry or anxious after a loss and placing larger bets to chase it back.
  • Hiding your gaming activity from family or lying about it.
  • Spending money on gaming from household funds or emergency savings.
  • Spending time gaming instead of fulfilling work, study, or social obligations.
  • Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop gaming.
  • Feeling restless, low, or having trouble sleeping when unable to game.
  • Placing bets using borrowed money or funds taken from others.
  • Using gaming as an escape from problems or stress.
If you notice even one of the signs above, don't brush it off. Contact Sportgy Support or take a break from gaming for a while.

3. Check Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If most of your answers are "Yes," it may be time to reassess your gaming habits:

1

In the past month, have you spent more time or money on gaming than you planned?

2

Do you get angry or uncomfortable when asked to stop gaming?

3

Has a family member or friend ever expressed concern about your gaming habits?

4

After losing, have you ever placed more bets to try to win back the money?

5

Have you ever spent time gaming that should have gone to work or family?

6

Have you ever taken on debt or dipped into your savings to fund gaming?

If you answered "Yes" to 3 or more questions, please reach out to the Sportgy Support team or consider pausing your gaming activity for a while.

4. Sportgy's Protection Tools

Sportgy offers a range of effective tools to help you stay in control of your gaming:

Deposit limit

You can set a maximum deposit amount for yourself — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately.

Session Time Limit

Set a daily time limit for your gaming sessions. Once the limit is reached, Sportgy will automatically remind you or close the session.

Cooling-off break

If you need a short break, set a cooling-off period of anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. No transactions will be possible on your account during this time.

Self-Exclusion

If you want to take an extended break from gaming, you can request Self-Exclusion for a period of 6 months to 5 years.

Activity report

You can view a full breakdown of your gaming history, total spend, and time played at any time. This helps you stay aware of your own habits.

Reality Check

During long sessions, Sportgy will send you periodic reminders about your time and spend so you can stay aware.

5. Tips for Building Healthy Gaming Habits

Build these simple but effective habits for responsible play on Sportgy:

  • Set a Budget First: Before you start playing, decide on the maximum amount in BDT you are willing to spend. Once you hit that limit, stop — no matter what.
  • Plan for wins: Set a win limit for the day and stop once you reach it. Chasing more wins after a good run is one of the most common ways people end up losing what they've already won.
  • Consider Your State of Mind: Avoid gaming when you're angry, drunk, or exhausted. Your judgment is impaired in those states.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Stand up, drink some water, take a short walk.
  • Keep other hobbies: Keep other leisure activities in your life so that gaming does not become your only source of enjoyment.
  • Let Your Family Know: Letting your family know how much time and money you spend on gaming creates natural accountability.
  • Don't Chase Losses: If you find yourself thinking about chasing yesterday's losses, stop gaming for the day.
Remember — responsible gaming actually makes the experience more enjoyable, not less. Playing within your limits keeps every session relaxed and fun.

6. How to Set Limits on Sportgy

Setting limits on your Sportgy account is quick and easy. Just follow the steps below:

1
Account Login

Log in to Sportgy and click the profile icon in the top right corner.

2
Go to responsible play settings

Select the "Responsible Gaming" section from the menu.

3
Choose Your Limit

Deposit limits, session time, or break duration — choose whatever works best for you.

4
Set an Amount or Duration

Daily, weekly, or monthly — choose your preferred period and enter the amount you want.

5
Confirm

Once you confirm a limit, it takes effect immediately. Limits can be lowered right away, but increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Setting a limit doesn't take anything away from you — it's a way of honoring your own decisions. Sportgy always respects the choices you make.

7. What Is the Self-Exclusion Feature and How to Use It

Self-Exclusion is Sportgy's most powerful responsible gaming tool. If you feel you need an extended break from gaming, you can use this feature to fully deactivate your account for a set period of time.

  • Self-exclusion period: minimum 6 months, maximum 5 years.
  • During this period, logging in, making deposits, or placing bets will be completely disabled.
  • Any attempt to open a new account while self-exclusion is active will be detected and blocked.
  • To reactivate your account after the period ends, you will need to contact Sportgy Support and complete a mandatory cooling-off period.
If you decide to self-exclude, please email Sportgy Support right away: [email protected]. We will process your request promptly.

8. Protecting Children and Minors

Sportgy strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from gaming on our platform. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and suspicious accounts are investigated. Sportgy asks all parents and guardians to take note:

  • Use parental control software on your device.
  • Keep your Sportgy account password and login details out of reach of children.
  • Have open, honest conversations with your children about online gaming.
