Responsible Gaming at l889 — Play Smart, Stay in Control

l889 believes that gaming should always be an enjoyable and controlled experience. Our responsible gaming programme gives every Bangladeshi player the tools, information, and direct support they need to keep gambling fun — and to step back safely when it stops being so. This page explains our commitment and the practical options available to you.

Gaming That Puts Players First

At l889, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent environment for all players based in Bangladesh, while actively discouraging gambling behaviours that can cause harm to individuals, families, and communities.

Our platform is designed from the ground up with player protection in mind. Every account comes with access to a full suite of self-management tools that let you set boundaries before they become necessary. We believe the best time to put limits in place is when you are feeling in control — not after a problem has already developed.

l889 strictly enforces a 21+ age policy with no exceptions. Identity verification (KYC) is mandatory before any withdrawal is processed, and our systems flag irregular betting patterns that may indicate problem gambling. Where a concern is identified, our responsible gaming team will reach out proactively.

If at any point gambling stops feeling like entertainment and starts feeling like a compulsion, obligation, or financial pressure, we encourage you to use the tools on this page or contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6).

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps from your account settings — effective immediately.

Time-Out Periods

Take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is locked for the full duration.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently or indefinitely close your account. Cannot be reversed without a mandatory cooling-off period.

24/7 Support

Our responsible gaming team is reachable any time at [email protected] — Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6).


Six Ways l889 Keeps Gaming Responsible

Every tool listed below is available to all registered l889 players at no cost. They are designed to be simple to activate and, where appropriate, impossible to bypass during the cooling-off period.

Deposit Limit Controls

From your l889 account settings you can define the maximum amount you are willing to deposit over a 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day rolling window. Reductions take effect instantly. Increases require a mandatory 24-hour review period before they become active, giving you time to reconsider. Limits apply across all deposit channels including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay.

Session Time Reminders

Set a session duration limit and l889 will notify you when you have been playing for your chosen length of time. Reminders appear as on-screen alerts and serve as a prompt to take a break, review your balance, or close the session. This tool is particularly useful during long BPL or IPL match-day betting sessions where time can pass quickly.

Reality Check Notifications

Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that display your current session time, net win or loss, and a prompt to continue or end the session. Reality checks can be set to trigger every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. They cannot be dismissed without you making a conscious choice to continue, ensuring every session involves an active decision to keep playing.

Time-Out (Short Break)

If you feel you need a break from gambling but are not ready for a full self-exclusion, a time-out temporarily deactivates your l889 account for a period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out your account is fully locked — you cannot log in, deposit, place bets, or access games. The time-out cannot be cancelled before it expires. Pending withdrawals are still processed during your time-out period.

Self-Exclusion Programme

Self-exclusion is the most serious account restriction available at l889 and is intended for players who recognise that gambling is causing harm. You may request self-exclusion for a minimum period of 6 months or on a permanent basis. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the minimum period has elapsed and a formal re-evaluation request has been processed by our responsible gaming team. Remaining balance is refunded in full upon closure.

Dedicated Support Access

l889's responsible gaming support team is separate from general customer service and trained specifically in problem gambling identification and player welfare. You can reach them any time by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request". All communications are treated with strict confidentiality. Account restrictions requested via this channel are actioned within 1 hour of the request being received.


Activating Your Responsible Gaming Tools

All responsible gaming tools at l889 are available directly from your account settings panel after logging in. You do not need to contact support to activate deposit limits, session reminders, or a time-out — these can be self-served instantly at any time of day.

For self-exclusion requests — especially where the player is in distress — we strongly recommend contacting our dedicated team by email at [email protected] so that a trained agent can assist you promptly and ensure the exclusion is applied correctly across your account.

All responsible gaming actions are logged on your account with a timestamp and confirmation email sent to your registered address. Keep this email as a record of your request.

Cannot Be Reversed Early

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step toward getting help. If any of the following apply, we encourage you to reach out to l889 support or a specialist organisation immediately.

Chasing Losses

Placing additional bets to try to win back money that has already been lost, often escalating stake sizes in the process.

Borrowing to Gamble

Taking loans from friends, family, or financial institutions, or using credit facilities, specifically to fund gambling activity.

Hiding Gambling Activity

Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, neglecting family commitments, or failing to meet financial obligations such as rent or bills because of time or money spent gambling.

Inability to Stop

Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling, or feeling restless and irritable when trying to cut back.

Gambling as an Escape

Using gambling as a primary way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties.


Ask Yourself These Questions

The following questions are based on internationally recognised problem gambling screening tools. This is not a clinical assessment — it is a personal reflection exercise to help you evaluate your relationship with gambling.

If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly recommend activating a time-out or self-exclusion on your l889 account and seeking support from a qualified counsellor or support organisation.

Your answers are private — this is not a form and no data is transmitted. It is simply a series of honest questions worth sitting with for a few moments.

Protecting Young People

l889 takes its duty to protect minors extremely seriously. The following guidance is for parents and guardians who share devices or internet connections with children and young people.

Keep Credentials Private

Never share your l889 username or password with anyone, including children. Log out fully after every session on shared devices.

Secure Your Devices

Use device-level PIN codes, biometric locks, and parental control software on any device that children can access.

Talk Openly

Educate young people in your household about the risks of gambling. Open, honest conversations are one of the most effective protective measures available.

Report Underage Access

If you believe a person under 21 has registered or is using an l889 account, contact [email protected] immediately. We will suspend the account and conduct a full review.
