Tools that are always active to keep you safe on Afun.
Set a maximum spend for yourself — daily, weekly, or monthly. Limits take effect immediately; increasing them requires a 24-hour waiting period.
Need a breather? Take a cooling-off period ranging from 1 to 30 days. Your account stays active during this time, but betting and deposits will be unavailable.
If you want a long-term break, use the self-exclusion option for anywhere from 3 months to 5 years. Your account cannot be reopened during this period under any circumstances.
Decide in advance how long you want to play. When your time is up, Afun will automatically send you a reminder and, if needed, end the session for you.
Age is strictly verified during registration and throughout the KYC process. No one under 18 is permitted to use the platform.
If gaming is starting to feel like a problem, Afun's support team is ready to help in Bangla. Assistance with setting limits or self-exclusion is available free of charge.
Responsible gaming means keeping online gaming and betting as a form of entertainment — not the center of your life. The difference between placing a casual bet while watching a cricket match and spending all day consumed by it — that's exactly what responsible gaming is about.
Afun believes most people enjoy gaming purely as entertainment and have no issues with it. But for a small number of people, gaming can occasionally get out of hand — recognizing that early and getting help in time is the smart thing to do.
Three core principles of responsible gaming:
If you notice any of the signs below in yourself or someone close to you, don't brush them off. They may be early signals that healthy gaming habits are slipping.
Take a break right now. Enable cooling-off or self-exclusion from your Afun account settings, or reach out to our support team. No judgment, no shame — asking for help is a sign of strength.
Limits on Afun can be set from the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings. The following types of limits are available:
Important rules: Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing one requires a 24-hour waiting period — that's intentional, to prevent impulsive overspending in the heat of the moment.
If you're not sure where to start with limits, a simple rule to keep in mind: your monthly gaming budget should be an amount you can afford to lose without affecting your other expenses for the month. Think of it like spending on entertainment — the same as going to the cinema or eating out.
Many people aren't sure of the difference between a cooling-off period and self-exclusion — both give you a break, but they're suited to different situations.
For a short break. Maybe you feel like you've been playing a bit more than usual this week — but there's no long-term concern.
1 to 30 days. Once the period ends, your account is reactivated automatically.
How to Enable It:Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Cooling-Off → Choose a time period.
For serious concerns. If you feel gaming is becoming a problem and you need an extended break.
3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. Your account cannot be reopened during this period under any circumstances.
How to Enable It:Reach out via support chat or email — it will be taken care of immediately.
During self-exclusion, Afun will not send you any promotional emails or notifications. If you wish to reactivate your account before the period ends, contact support — but you must apply at least 7 days in advance, and a cooling-off period will be built in to ensure you're making the decision with a clear head.
These aren't official rules — but they're the habits of people who've kept gaming enjoyable over the long term.
Sometimes the person struggling isn't aware of it themselves, or isn't ready to admit it. That's when the people around them play a crucial role.
If you think someone close to you is struggling with a gaming problem, here's what you can do:
Afun's support team is also happy to speak with family members — we can advise on how best to help.
For Afun, responsible gaming isn't about ticking a compliance box — it's part of who we are. When you're building a platform used by millions of people across Bangladesh, their well-being becomes your responsibility too.
These commitments have been part of Afun since day one and will remain so. Building a sustainable, trustworthy platform means putting members' wellbeing first — both as a moral responsibility and as sound business practice.
Answer these short questions honestly. The results are for your eyes only.
Answer based on your gaming experience over the past month.
1. Have you spent more time or money on gaming than you planned?
2. Have you ever placed more bets after a loss, trying to win that money back?
3. Has gaming caused problems with family or people close to you?
4. Do you feel restless or irritable when you're not gaming?
The number of online gaming and betting platforms in Bangladesh is growing — and so is an important question: do these platforms genuinely care about their users' well-being? Afun's answer is yes, and we prove it through action, not just words.
Does responsible gaming mean quitting altogether? Not at all. When you learn to drive, you wear a seatbelt and follow speed limits — that doesn't make driving any less enjoyable, it just makes it safer. Responsible gaming works the same way — it's about keeping the fun going for the long haul.
Many members see Afun's limit-setting feature for the first time and think, "I don't need that." But those who use it say it brings real peace of mind. Setting a budget at the start of the month means you never have to keep track of how much you've spent. If your monthly gaming budget is ৳2,000 and you've set that as your deposit limit on Afun, you simply can't go over it for the month — and that certainty is genuinely reassuring.
There's a common misconception about cooling-off periods — many people assume they're only for those with a serious problem. In reality, you can use one at any time, for any reason. Want to focus on studying during exams? Take a cooling-off. Looking to step back from gaming during Ramadan? That works too. It's a straightforward tool — there's nothing unusual about using it.
Self-exclusion deserves special attention. Choosing to activate it when you feel gaming is getting out of control takes real courage. When self-exclusion is enabled on Afun, it doesn't just stop betting — all promotional messages stop too. Because we know that receiving a "special bonus offer" at that moment could be enough to change your mind.
Hiding a gaming problem is especially common in Bangladesh — admitting it to family or friends can feel very difficult. That's exactly why Afun's support team exists: a space to talk in Bangla, confidentially and without judgment. What's said in live chat stays between you and the support representative — no one else can see it.
As a family, staying aware matters. If someone at home is staying up very late on their phone, money seems to be going unaccounted for, or you notice mood changes — don't ignore these signs. Problem gaming can affect finances and family relationships. Talking early saves a lot of hardship later.
Afun's goal is to build a long-term platform that people in Bangladesh can trust for entertainment — year after year. That's only possible when members stay well, stay happy, and keep gaming as a small, enjoyable part of their lives. Responsible play isn't a business strategy for Afun — it's a core value.
