Responsible Gaming at q789 — Play Smart, Stay in Control
q789 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gambling environment for every player in Bangladesh. Our Responsible Gaming programme gives you practical tools to set your own limits, take breaks, and seek help — because your wellbeing always comes before any bet.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
At q789, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we build and operate our platform. We believe that gambling should be an entertaining pastime, not a source of financial stress, relationship problems, or emotional hardship. For the vast majority of our players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and beyond, q789 is exactly that: a fun, exciting way to enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and slots.
We also recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can become problematic. That is why q789 invests in prevention, early detection, and direct intervention tools that put you in the driver's seat at all times. Every account comes with a full suite of self-management features, accessible directly from your dashboard — no forms to fill out, no waiting periods for most tools, and no judgment from our support team.
q789 operates strictly as an adults-only platform. Registration is open only to individuals aged 21 and above. Every new account goes through a mandatory age and identity verification process before any deposit or withdrawal is permitted. If we ever have reason to suspect a player is underage, the account is suspended immediately pending re-verification.
This page explains every responsible gaming tool available on q789, how to use them, and where to turn if you or someone you know needs additional support. We encourage every player to read this page carefully — not because gambling is inherently dangerous, but because knowing your options makes you a more empowered, more confident player.
Your Safety Toolkit
Six powerful self-management tools built directly into every q789 account — available immediately, at no cost, with no complicated request processes.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your q789 account. Once a limit is in place, the platform will automatically block any deposit that would exceed it. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions made under pressure. Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping your gambling spend within a budget you are comfortable with.
In addition to deposit limits, q789 allows you to set a maximum loss threshold over a defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly. When your net losses reach the threshold you have chosen, your account is automatically restricted from further play until the period resets. Loss limits help you define in advance how much of a financial downswing you are prepared to absorb, removing the temptation to chase losses in the heat of the moment.
Prolonged uninterrupted gambling sessions are one of the most common contributors to problem gambling. q789's session time limit tool lets you define a maximum continuous play time — from 30 minutes up to 8 hours. When your session reaches the limit you set, you will receive a clear notification and the option to log out and take a break. You can also enable mandatory session break reminders that appear at regular intervals during play, keeping you aware of how long you have been active.
Need a short break without committing to a full self-exclusion? q789's Cool-Off feature lets you pause your account for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. The cool-off cannot be cancelled before the chosen period ends. It is a simple, fast way to step away and regain perspective without permanently closing your account.
Self-exclusion is q789's most serious responsible gaming measure, designed for players who feel their gambling has become or is becoming a genuine problem. You can self-exclude for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, all marketing communications are halted, and re-registration is blocked. If you attempt to open a new account while self-excluded, q789 will close it as soon as it is identified. Activating self-exclusion takes under two minutes via your account dashboard or by contacting our support team.
Reality check notifications are periodic on-screen reminders that appear during active play to keep you informed of how long you have been gambling and how much you have won or lost in the current session. You choose the frequency — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Each reality check gives you a clear, factual snapshot of your session and prompts you to decide whether to continue or stop. Many players find reality checks the simplest and least disruptive way to maintain awareness during longer play sessions.
How to Activate Your Tools
Every responsible gaming tool on q789 is accessible directly from your account without needing to contact support first. Follow these steps to set up the protections that work best for you.
Visit q789.vu and sign in using your registered username and password. If you cannot log in and need emergency assistance, contact support directly via live chat or email — you do not need to be logged in to request self-exclusion from our team.
Once logged in, go to your account dashboard and select "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Safety" from the main settings menu. All six tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, cool-off, self-exclusion, and reality checks — are grouped in one place for easy access.
Select the tool you want to activate, enter your chosen limit amount or time period, and confirm your selection. For deposit and loss limits, choose daily, weekly, or monthly periods. For cool-off and self-exclusion, choose your duration. Review all parameters carefully before confirming — some restrictions take effect instantly.
After confirming, q789 will send a confirmation to your registered email address summarising the tool activated, the parameters set, and when (if ever) they can be modified. Save this email for your records. If you do not receive a confirmation within five minutes, check your spam folder or contact support to verify the activation.
Your responsible gaming preferences are not set-and-forget. We recommend reviewing your limits every month to make sure they still reflect your current financial situation and gambling habits. q789 will also send you a periodic reminder to review your settings if you have not logged in to the Responsible Gaming section for 90 days.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise from the inside. The following signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond entertainment and is beginning to affect your life negatively. If several of these apply to you, we encourage you to reach out for support — there is no shame in doing so, and q789's team will treat every conversation with complete confidentiality and compassion.
- Chasing Losses: Placing larger or more frequent bets to try to win back money you have already lost, often leading to deeper losses.
- Gambling with Money You Cannot Afford: Using funds earmarked for rent, utilities, food, family needs, or other essential expenses to fund gambling sessions.
- Inability to Stop: Finding it difficult or impossible to stop gambling once you have started, even when you have told yourself you would.
- Secrecy and Concealment: Hiding the extent of your gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues, or feeling the need to lie about how much time or money you spend gambling.
- Mood Dependence: Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, or depression — using it as an emotional coping mechanism rather than for entertainment.
- Borrowing to Gamble: Taking out loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit cards specifically to fund gambling activity.
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Allowing gambling to interfere with work performance, academic commitments, family time, or social relationships.
- Escalating Stakes: Needing to bet increasingly large amounts of money to experience the same level of excitement or satisfaction as before.
Where to Get External Help
While q789's internal tools and support team are always available, we also encourage any player who feels they may have a gambling problem to reach out to independent professional organisations. Seeking help from a third-party organisation that specialises in gambling addiction can provide a level of objectivity and depth that a gambling operator cannot offer.
The Bangladesh National Mental Health Helpline provides free, confidential counselling and referral services for individuals experiencing mental health challenges including gambling-related stress, anxiety, and financial distress. Available in Dhaka and major cities including Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and Rajshahi. Contact details are published by the Bangladesh Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to solve their common problem and help others to recover from gambling disorder. Online meetings are available internationally and are accessible to Bangladeshi players via the Gamblers Anonymous website.
GamCare is a leading provider of free information, support, and counselling for anyone affected by problem gambling. Their internationally accessible online chat service and resource library are available in English and can be accessed by players based in Bangladesh at any hour of the day.
Protecting Minors
Keeping individuals under the age of 21 away from the q789 platform is one of our most important responsibilities. Here is how we do it — and how you can help.
Every new q789 account must pass a KYC age verification check — using a Bangladesh NID, passport, or driving licence — before any deposit or bet is accepted. Accounts that cannot verify age are permanently closed.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians to install parental control and website filtering software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in Android and iOS screen-time settings can block gambling content effectively.
If q789 has reasonable grounds to believe that an account holder is under 21, the account is suspended immediately and all pending withdrawals are frozen. If the player is confirmed to be underage, the account is permanently closed and all deposits are returned.
If you believe someone under the age of 21 has registered or is using a q789 account, please report it immediately to [email protected]. Our team will investigate and take action within one business day.
The Golden Rules of Safe Gambling
Gambling responsibly does not mean gambling less — it means gambling with a clear head, a defined budget, and the right intentions. These principles are the foundation of a healthy gambling habit.
Set a strict entertainment budget before you play and treat it as money you have already spent — just like a cinema ticket or a meal out. Never gamble with rent money, savings, or funds earmarked for family expenses. Use q789's deposit limit tool to enforce this budget automatically and remove the temptation to exceed it.
All casino games and sports bets carry a mathematical edge in favour of the house over the long run. Gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment — a thrilling complement to watching a BPL match or exploring a new slot title — not as a reliable income source or financial strategy. Wins are a bonus, not an expectation.
Decide how long you will play before you open any game. Use q789's session time limit tool to enforce this automatically. Long sessions lead to fatigue, poor decision-making, and increased risk of chasing losses. Short, defined sessions with clear stopping points are the hallmark of a responsible player.
One of the most common traps in gambling is the impulse to keep playing after a loss in the hope of winning it back. This mindset leads to larger losses and greater distress. If you have reached your loss limit for the session, stop. Walk away, take a break, and return another day with a clear head and a fresh budget.
Step away from the screen regularly — even for just five minutes every hour. Use reality check notifications to prompt you. Taking breaks helps maintain perspective on your session performance, keeps decision-making sharp, and ensures gambling remains a conscious choice rather than an automated habit.
Gambling under the influence of alcohol, fatigue, or strong emotional distress significantly impairs judgment and leads to decisions you would not normally make. If you find yourself in any of these states, log out and return when you are in a clearer, calmer frame of mind. q789's cool-off feature makes it easy to pause your account for a defined period at a moment's notice.
