Our Responsible Gaming Protections

W71 is committed to protecting the mental and financial well-being of every member

Set a Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once set, limits cannot be increased before the designated period ends.

Session time limit

Decide in advance how long you'll play in one session. Once the time is up, you'll receive an automatic reminder and the session will end.

Cooldown Break

Temporarily close your account for 7 days. During this period, logging in, making deposits, or playing games will not be possible.

Self-Exclusion feature

Self-exclude for a period of 6 months to 5 years. Your account cannot be reactivated under any circumstances during this time.

Gaming History Review

You can check your gaming history, win/loss stats, and total spend at any time. It helps you make informed decisions.

24/7 Support

If you're experiencing problem gaming, reach out to w71's responsible gaming team. We'll help you without judgement.

How to Use the Protection Tools

W71's Responsible Gaming tools can be easily activated from your account settings

Log In

Go to Settings

Look for the "Responsible Gaming" option.

Set your limits

Set deposit, time, or exclusion limits based on your preferences.

Confirm

Save your changes. Limits take effect immediately.

Keep in mind: Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24–48 hour waiting period — and that's intentional, for your own protection.

Are You Playing Responsibly?

Ask yourself these questions. If you answer "Yes" to more than one, seek help.

Keep in mind: Asking for help isn't weakness — it takes courage. w71 is always here for you.

If you answer "Yes" to more than three questions, contact our support team immediately.

Are you placing more bets to chase back money you've already lost?

Do you find yourself lying to family or friends about your gaming?

Are you betting with money meant for essential expenses (rent, food, savings)?

Do you feel restless or irritable when you're not playing?

After long sessions, do you lose track of how much time has passed?

Have you tried to stop gaming but keep failing?

Is gaming affecting your work, studies, or relationships?

If you notice any of the following signs, it's time to take them seriously:

What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a controlled form of entertainment — never as a source of income or a solution to financial problems. At w71, responsible gaming isn't just a policy; it's an ethical commitment to every player.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, with thousands of people visiting w71 every day for fun and excitement. For a small number of players, however, gaming can spiral out of control. Our Responsible Gaming program is designed to prevent exactly that.

How gaming addiction develops

Gaming addiction doesn't happen overnight — it builds gradually. You might start by playing once a week, then every day, then multiple times a day. After a loss, the urge to bet more to recover what you lost grows stronger. This is known as "chasing losses," and it's the most telling sign of problematic gaming.

Winning feels rewarding because of the dopamine release it triggers in the brain — and that feeling makes people want to keep playing. Breaking this cycle takes awareness and knowing when to ask for help.

Financial Planning & Budgeting

Financial control is the most important part of responsible gaming. Before you start, ask yourself: "How much am I willing to lose?" That amount is your gaming budget.

Allocate a fixed portion of your monthly entertainment budget to gaming.
Only allocate what's left over after covering your household essentials.
Never bet with credit or borrowed money.
Use w71's deposit limit feature to automatically keep your spending in check.

The role of family and loved ones

Often, a family member is the first to notice when someone is struggling with problem gaming. If you think a friend or family member is gaming excessively, don't respond with anger — approach them with empathy.

Remember: problem gaming is a mental health issue — not a character flaw. With the right support and environment, anyone can find their way out.

Age Verification & Minor Protection

W71 strictly ensures that only users aged 18 and above can create an account. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and national ID or birth certificate verification is required as part of the KYC process.

If a minor's account is identified, it is immediately closed and any deposited funds are returned.

w71's commitment: We believe it's our responsibility to foster a healthy, enjoyable gaming environment. w71 is always here to support you in playing responsibly.
