3333bd Guide: Responsible gaming tips, limits and a calm mind

Rifat, Dhanmondi

Rifat used to sit without a timer; later he sets a 20-minute alarm and a spending limit; now he keeps a separate budget on bKash, so stays calm

Nahida closes the app after 11 PM; this keeps sleep on track, and decisions stay steady; she uses Nagad to settle accounts in advance

Taking a short break reduces

Set time in advance

For a session choose 15 or 30 minutes; stop when the alarm rings, no more rounds mid-session

Write down the spending limit

At the start of the month, write the limit in BDT; many Dhaka users keep separate accounts with bKash or Rocket

Reduce notifications at night

Mute the app before sleep; this reduces the urge to return abruptly, and the mind is clear in the morning

Pause if mood is bad

Don't decide out of anger or rush; walk 10 minutes, drink water, then think again

Easy rules for setting limits

First set daily goals, then write three small rules: time, spending, and breaks

Why nighttime use should be kept short

At night, quick decisions can be wrong, so keep short sessions, fewer notifications, and a set end time

When to take a break

If you make the same mistake three times in a row, stop; staying away for a while makes the head feel lighter

Set limits

Daily, weekly, and monthly limits

Safe habits
