What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?
Responsible gaming at ek1971 is more than following rules — it's a mindset. We believe online gaming is truly enjoyable only when it stays in control. Thousands of players across Bangladesh visit our platform every day for entertainment, and we're committed to making sure that entertainment never becomes a burden.
Responsible gaming means deciding in advance how much time and money you'll spend, making decisions based on your own emotional state, and not putting gaming above other responsibilities in your life. ek1971 values every member's mental wellbeing above profit.
Our platform includes a range of tools to help you monitor your gaming habits and take a break when needed. This page covers all of them in detail.
Our Commitment
Ek1971 will never encourage you to play beyond your means. Our goal is to create a safe, balanced, and enjoyable gaming environment.
Tools and services ek1971 has in place for you.
Deposit Limit
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately — and a 24-hour waiting period applies before any increase.
Session Time Control
Decide how long you want to play before you start. Once the time is up, ek1971 will automatically alert you and end your session if needed.
Cooldown Break
Take a voluntary break from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, no gaming activity will be possible on your account.
Permanent Self-Exclusion
If you want to stop gaming entirely, use the permanent self-exclusion option. Once activated, this cannot be reversed.

Review your gaming and transaction history for the past 30, 90, or 180 days. Analyse your habits and make informed decisions.
Expert Support Service
Our trained support team is available 24/7. If you have any concerns about your gaming, reach out via live chat — we're here to help, not to judge.

- Repeated failed attempts to stop gaming

How to Set Limits
Setting limits at ek1971 is simple. Just a few steps and you're in full control of your gaming.
Log in to your account
Log in to your ek1971 account and click the profile icon in the top right corner.
Go to the "Responsible Gaming" section
Go to the Settings menu and look for the "Responsible Gaming" option.
Choose the limit that works for you
Set a deposit limit, session time limit, or loss limit — whichever you need.
Confirm
After setting your limit, click the "Confirm" button and it will take effect immediately.
Please Note
Lowering a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing one comes with a 24–72 hour cooling-off period. This is designed to protect you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.
Self-Exclusion Feature
If you feel you need a short break or a longer time away from gaming, ek1971's self-exclusion feature is here for you. It's completely free and can be activated at any time.
Short Break (24 Hours – 6 Weeks)
Choose this option if you'd like to take a short break. Your account will reactivate automatically once the break period ends.
Long-Term Break (1–5 Years)
Use this option if you need an extended break from gaming. You will need to reactivate your account yourself once the period ends.
Permanent Exclusion (Forever)
If you want to quit gaming for good, choose permanent exclusion. Once this option is activated, it cannot be changed.
During your self-exclusion period, you will not receive any promotional emails or notifications. Your wellbeing is our top priority.
Self-Assessment
Ask yourself the questions below. If you answer "yes" to most of them, consider reaching out for help.
Have you spent more on gaming than you planned?
Has gaming caused arguments with family or friends?
Have you ever played on in anger or frustration after a loss?
Have you tried to stop gaming but found you couldn't?
Are you putting gaming ahead of work, family, or your health?
Have you taken on debt or dipped into savings to fund your gaming?
Advice
If you answered "yes" to three or more questions, please contact our support team or activate self-exclusion. Asking for help is not weakness — it takes courage.
