Stay in Control When You Play Online

Gambling always involves a risk of financial loss. There is no guaranteed way to win on any betting game. You should only gamble using money that you can afford to lose, after covering rent, food, bills, and savings.

To enjoy gaming safely and protect your wellbeing:

• Set a clear budget before you start playing and stick to that limit.
• Decide in advance how much time you want to spend on the site and follow that plan.
• Separate your gambling money from daily household expenses and savings.
• Treat each bet as the cost of entertainment, not an investment or way to earn income.
• Avoid chasing losses by increasing stake sizes after losing bets.
• Take regular short breaks to check your mood and spending.
• Keep track of your deposits, withdrawals, and time spent on your account.

Megapari offers safer gambling tools that help you keep control:

• Deposit limits to manage how much money you add to your account over a set period.
• Self-control options that allow you to pause or restrict access to your profile.
• Access to account history so you can review your playing behaviour and adjust your limits.

These simple steps help you enjoy betting responsibly, protect your finances, and reduce the chance of developing harmful habits.

Betting addiction can develop gradually and may be difficult to notice at first. It is a serious condition that affects financial, emotional, and family life, and it needs timely attention and professional support.

Common signs that you or someone close to you may have a gambling problem include:

• Spending more money or more time on gambling than planned on a regular basis.
• Feeling restless, upset, or irritated when trying to cut down or stop betting.
• Chasing losses by placing more bets to recover money that has been lost.
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent on gambling.
• Using loans, credit, or borrowed money to fund betting activity.
• Ignoring work, study, family duties, or social life because of gambling.
• Gambling to escape stress, sadness, boredom, or other difficult emotions.
• Repeatedly failing to stick to self-imposed limits or promises to stop.
• Selling belongings or using savings that were meant for other goals to continue playing.
• Feeling guilt, shame, or hopelessness about gambling but continuing to bet.

If these indicators feel familiar, it may be time to pause, review your behaviour, and seek help from support services in Bangladesh.

Gambling addiction can be managed when addressed early and consistently. You can take structured steps to regain control over your betting and protect your financial and emotional health.

Practical recommendations that can help reduce the risk of addiction and support recovery:

• Set strict deposit and spending limits on your account and do not raise them when you feel pressure.
• Decide fixed time limits for playing and use alarms or reminders to log out when that time ends.
• Take regular days off from gambling to focus on work, study, family, or hobbies.
• Avoid betting if you are tired, stressed, under the influence of alcohol, or in a low mood.
• Do not use gambling to solve money problems; seek financial planning advice instead.
• Keep only a small, affordable amount of money in your gaming account and avoid using credit cards.
• Talk honestly to a trusted friend or family member about your betting behaviour and ask for support.
• Use self-exclusion or account cooling-off options on Megapari if you feel your play is out of control.
• Remove gambling apps or shortcuts from your phone for a period if they trigger impulsive play.
• Contact professional counselling or helpline services in Bangladesh for structured treatment and guidance.

Consistent use of these tools, combined with specialist support, can reduce harm and support long-term control over your gambling.

If you feel that your betting is no longer under control, professional help and confidential support are available. Talking to trained advisers can help you understand your situation, plan next steps, and protect your wellbeing.
