Self-Control Tools & Tips
Setting Time & Budget Limits
Before you start playing, decide how much time and money you are willing to spend. Once you set those limits, stick to them. On 196, you can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted.
Taking Breaks & Temporary Suspension
If you feel you need a break, you can pause your 196 account for a set period. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any bets. You can choose a break duration ranging from one day to several weeks.
Long-Term Controls
If you feel you need an extended break from the platform, contact [email protected] to request a temporary or long-term account suspension. Your request will be processed as quickly as possible.
Protecting Minors — Everyone's Responsibility
196 strictly prohibits account registration and use by anyone under 18. Age verification is mandatory at the time of registration. Any account identified as belonging to a minor will be closed immediately.
A message to parents — enable parental controls on your devices and keep children and teenagers away from platforms like this. If there is any chance a child can access your account, keep your password secure and never share your login details.
If you suspect underage use, please notify us: [email protected]
Maintain Life Balance & Seek Support
Tips for a Balanced Lifestyle
Gaming should only be a small part of your life. Spending time with family, hanging out with friends, exercising, studying, or focusing on your career — all of these matter far more. If you feel you have spent too much time gaming in a given week, make a conscious effort to cut back the next.
Remember — expecting a regular income from gaming is not realistic. It is entertainment, not an investment.
Where to Find Professional Support
If you feel you cannot manage on your own, seek professional help. There are several mental health organizations in Bangladesh that offer confidential support. Talking to a trusted family member or friend can also be a meaningful first step.
