D71 Responsible Gaming — Safe & Mindful Gaming Guide

Responsible gaming means playing in a way that doesn't negatively affect the rest of your life. You're aware of how much time and money you're spending, and you stay in control — that's what responsible gaming is all about.

Keeping a few simple principles in mind while playing on d71 will make gaming enjoyable every time:

• Gaming is for entertainment, not a source of income.
• Never spend beyond the budget you've set for yourself.
• Essential living expenses — rent, groceries, your child's education — must not be used for betting.
• You should never play beyond your budget trying to "win back" what you've lost.
• If gaming is causing you stress or anxiety, that's a sign to take a break.

One of the biggest risks in online gaming is losing track of time and money. It's easy to spend hours playing on your phone without realizing it. With that in mind, d71 has built session reminders and limit tools so you can set your own boundaries and stay in control.

Problematic gaming rarely develops overnight — it builds up gradually. Knowing the warning signs early means you can take action before things get worse.

If you or someone you know shows any of the signs below, it's time to take notice:

• Feeling the urge to spend more and more on gaming, regardless of the amount.
• Trying to cut back or stop gaming but being unable to.
• Chasing losses by betting more in an attempt to recover money you've lost.
• Lying to or hiding things from family or friends about your gaming.
• Using borrowed money or funds meant for emergencies to gamble.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not gaming.
• Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home.
• Using gaming as an escape from stress, problems, or loneliness.

Sticking to a gaming budget can be challenging, but it's the most effective way to protect yourself. Here are some practical tips for d71 members:

• Set aside a monthly "entertainment budget": At the start of each month, decide how much you're willing to spend on gaming entertainment. Think of it the same way you'd think about a cinema ticket or a restaurant bill.
• Stop When Your Budget Runs Out: Once your budget is gone, stop playing for the day. Wait until the following month.
• Plan what to do with winnings: After a big win, withdraw a portion rather than betting it all back.
• Keep a Separate Gaming Account: Keep a dedicated bKash or Nagad balance just for gaming — separate from your main household account.
• Accept losses: Losing is a normal part of gaming. Chasing losses by playing more to "recover" only makes things worse.

D71 provides members with a range of free tools to help them stay in control. These can be activated at any time from your account settings.

• Deposit Limit: Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically stop accepting further deposits.
• Loss Limit: Once you hit a set loss amount, your account will be automatically locked for the rest of that day or week.
• Session Time Limit: Once the set time is up, the system will send you a reminder and you can choose to end your session.
• Reality Check: At set intervals, a screen will show how long you've been playing and your total wins or losses.
• Self-Exclusion: The option to completely close your account for a fixed period or indefinitely.

To use these tools, log in to your d71 account and go to "Settings" > "Responsible Gaming". If you need any help, reach out via Live Chat.

Self-exclusion means you're making the decision to take a break from gaming for a set period of time. That takes courage, not weakness. Knowing your limits and choosing to stop in time — that's the smart move.

Self-exclusion periods available at d71:

• Temporary break: From 24 hours up to 30 days.
• Medium-term break: 1 month to 6 months.
• Long-term break: 6 months to 5 years.
• Permanent Closure: Request to permanently close account.

While self-exclusion is active, you won't be able to log in to d71 or receive any promotional messages. Your account won't reopen automatically once the period ends — you'll need to consciously contact support to reactivate it.

Problem gambling doesn't only affect the player — it impacts their family and loved ones too. If someone close to you seems to be struggling with gambling, there are a few important things to keep in mind.

• Speak with empathy rather than anger or blame.
• Help them acknowledge the problem — that's always the first step.
• D71's support team is also available to advise family members.
• Don't offer financial help that enables them to keep gaming.
• Seek help from a professional counselor if needed.

D71 offers a "Third-Party Protection" feature — a family member can contact d71 Support directly to request protective measures on a loved one's account. Identity and relationship verification will be required.

D71's responsible gaming team is always here for you. Whether you're struggling to stay in control, noticing a problem, or just need someone to talk to — don't hesitate to reach out.

• Email: support@d71.pro
• Live Chat: bottom right corner of the website
• Hours: 7 days a week, 24 hours a day

D71's Responsible Gaming support is completely confidential. Only the relevant team will be aware of your conversation — no one else.
