Gaming is for fun — not for problems. Learn about responsible gaming tools, smart budgeting tips, and how to stay safe on 317.
Warning Signs
If even one of these applies to you, read this page carefully.
The six core principles to follow for healthy boundaries while gaming at 317.
Before you start gaming, decide on the maximum amount you're willing to spend. This should be entertainment money only — money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. Never use funds set aside for rent, food, or savings.
Set a time limit before each session and take a break when it's up. Use a timer on your phone. Playing for hours on end is mentally draining and makes it easier for gaming to become a habit.
Gaming should be entertainment, not a source of income. Focus on the enjoyment of play, not the expectation of winning. Treating gaming as a fix for financial problems will only make things worse.
Trying to chase losses with the thought "I'll win it back this time" is the most dangerous trap. Accepting a loss is the mark of a responsible player. When a session is over, stop — and wait for another day.
Avoid playing when you're stressed or emotionally overwhelmed. Your judgment is weaker when you're tired or upset. Take a few days off if you need to — 317 will always be here.
Let a family member or trusted friend know how much you're playing. Hiding your gaming is the first warning sign of a problem. Transparency helps keep gaming in check and prevents it from putting a strain on your relationships.
317's Commitment
317 believes gaming should be an enjoyable experience, not a source of stress. This page brings together all the essential information, tools, and guidance on responsible gaming. If you or someone close to you is struggling, the resources below can help.
Responsible Gaming means keeping your gaming conscious, controlled, and enjoyable. It means knowing when to start, how much to play, and when to stop. It's not about quitting gaming — it's about enjoying it sustainably over the long term.
Most people enjoy gaming without any issues. However, for a small number it can become difficult to control, leading to family, financial, and mental health problems. This section is designed to help you recognise and prevent those risks.
Problem gaming doesn't happen overnight — it builds gradually. It might start with occasional play, then a little more time, then spending beyond your budget, one step at a time. During periods of work stress, family difficulties, or emotional instability, gaming can feel like an escape. But running from problems only makes them grow.
Following 317's responsible gaming policy keeps your gaming experience in check at all times. The policy and available tools are explained in detail below.
Setting a gaming budget is the single most important step in responsible gaming. Below is a step-by-step guide to planning your budget.
Rent, food, transport, medicine, your children's education — set these aside first. They should never come out of your gaming budget.
Set aside a portion of your remaining money as savings — for emergencies. It should not be spent on gaming.
A portion of what you'd normally spend on movies, dining out, or hobbies can be allocated to gaming.
If you lose this entire budget, stop playing for the rest of the month. This isn't just a rule — it's the key to peace of mind.
Keep track of how much you've spent and how much you've enjoyed each session — spotting a trend will tell you whether a change is needed.
317 offers players a range of protection tools to help you stay in control of your gaming. Using these tools is not a sign of weakness — it's the smart thing to do.
Set a maximum deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made.
Requesting a limit increase requires a waiting period. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately.
Set a limit on how many hours you play in one sitting. When the time is up, the system will automatically end your session.
A warning message will appear during each session as you approach the time limit.
Take a voluntary break from gaming for anywhere between 1 day and 6 weeks. You will not be able to log in during this period.
Suspend your account for a long-term break — from 6 months up to permanent.
Your session ends automatically once you hit a set loss amount — helping you avoid chasing losses.
Setting these limits makes it easier to avoid the "just one more" trap.
After a set period, a message appears showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost.
Can be set every 30 minutes or 1 hour.
How to use the tools
Log in to your account and look for the "Responsible Gaming" option under Settings or Account. Set your limits from there. For any questions, [email protected]Contact us at.
Some warning signs appear before a gaming problem fully develops. Recognizing them early makes it easier to take action in time.
If you notice any of the signs above
This is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of self-awareness. Recognising a problem yourself is the first step toward solving it. Read through the self-assessment and action sections below, and if needed, [email protected]Contact us at.
Ask yourself the questions below. Answer honestly — no one is watching. This assessment is for you alone.
Answer with the past 30 days in mind
1. Have you ever spent more on gaming than you budgeted for?
2. Have you ever lied to family or friends about your gaming?
3. After a loss, have you ever felt the urge to play again to win your money back?
4. Has gaming ever affected your work, studies, or relationships?
5. Have you ever wanted to stop playing but found you couldn't?
If you select the second or third option for 2 or more questions, consider using Responsible Gaming tools. If it's 3 or more, think about taking a break from gaming and seeking professional support.
Once you recognize the problem, taking action is what matters most. Seeking help is an act of courage — not weakness.

317 is strictly for players aged 18 and above. Keeping minors away from gaming platforms is a parental responsibility. 317 is committed to supporting parents in fulfilling that responsibility.
317 verifies the age of all users at registration. If any user is found to be under 18, their account will be immediately closed and their information deleted.
You don't have to face a gaming problem alone. There are different types of support available.
Gaming problems are closely linked to mental health. In Bangladesh, you can seek help from mental health specialists, counselors, or psychologists. Reach out to the mental health department at your local hospital, get a referral from a doctor you trust, or talk to a family member or religious leader you feel comfortable with.
317 does not claim partnerships with any specific external organizations. Any organization names mentioned here do not represent verified relationships. For mental health support, consulting a government hospital or a trusted medical professional is the best course of action.
Keep in Mind
Asking for help is a sign of strength. Thousands of people have overcome gaming problems and found their way back to a fulfilling life. You can too. Take that first step today.
317 doesn't just offer games — it works to create a safe and responsible environment. At the heart of that commitment is the well-being of its players. If a user is harmed by gaming, that is a failure for 317 too.
Online gaming culture in Bangladesh is growing rapidly. Along with that growth, the importance of Responsible Gaming needs to spread just as fast. 317 believes that providing clear information and accessible protection tools is a meaningful step toward that goal.
Many people think setting limits means less fun. In reality, it's the opposite. When you know how much you're willing to spend and when to stop, every session feels lighter and more enjoyable. Playing without financial stress is far more rewarding — and when you stay within budget, a loss hurts a lot less, because you know it was always meant to be entertainment.
Games on 317 are primarily based on chance. Winning consistently over the long term is not possible. Expecting a regular income from gaming is unrealistic, and that expectation is at the root of most problems. Think of it like the cost of a cinema ticket or a restaurant meal — a set budget for entertainment.
Players who game responsibly can enjoy it for the long term. Their finances stay stable, their relationships remain healthy, and their mental well-being is protected. 317 wants every user to be in that position.
Before each session, ask yourself: "Am I playing right now for fun, or to relieve stress or win money?" The first reason is the right one — the others are warning signs.
