Responsible Gaming at be 13 — Keep the Fun in Control
Be 13 believes that entertainment is truly enjoyable only when experienced mindfully and within your own limits. We are committed to ensuring a safe, transparent, and responsible gaming environment for every player in Bangladesh. Our goal is for every session to add a positive experience to your life — not pressure or anxiety.
Five Core Principles for Building Healthy Gaming Habits
Following these guidelines will keep gaming enjoyable at all times.
Set Your Budget in Advance
Before you start gaming, decide how much money you can afford to spend. This amount should never come from your everyday essential expenses. Once your set budget is gone, end the session and wait until the next day. Spending more money in an attempt to recover losses is never the right decision. On the be 13 platform, you can set your own daily or weekly deposit limits yourself.
Respect Your Time Limits
Decide in advance how much time you will spend gaming and stick to that limit strictly. Playing for long stretches without a break reduces focus and weakens decision-making. Take at least a five-minute break every hour — get up, walk around, or drink some water. Make sure you leave enough time for family, friends, and other hobbies. If gaming starts cutting into your sleep or work time, that is a warning sign.
Entertainment Is the Main Purpose
Always treat gaming as a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Celebrate your wins, but if you lose, accept it as the cost of entertainment rather than feeling discouraged. If you find yourself losing repeatedly in a session and your mood is suffering, that's the right time to stop. Never game when you're angry or frustrated, as your judgment is impaired in that state. Remember, the outcome of every game is completely independent and does not depend on previous results.
Age Verification & Identity Protection
The minimum age to participate on the be 13 platform is 18, and this is strictly enforced. An age verification process must be completed at registration, and creating an account with false information is strictly prohibited. Never share your account login details with anyone else. Be vigilant to ensure that underage members of your household cannot access your device or account. If you notice any suspicious activity, notify our support team immediately.
Take a Break or Self-Exclude When Needed
If you feel gaming is getting out of control, don't hesitate to take a break. be 13 offers a self-exclusion feature that lets you temporarily deactivate your account for a set period of time. Using this feature is not a sign of weakness — it's a conscious and courageous decision. Use the break to spend time with family, friends, and activities you enjoy. Consider seeking professional support if needed, because asking for help is always the right step.
Talk to the People Close to You
Talk openly with family or trusted friends about your gaming and take their opinions seriously. If someone expresses concern about your gaming habits, see it as an act of care rather than criticism. Relying on gaming to escape loneliness or stress can be harmful in the long run. Always prioritize real-life relationships and activities over gaming. Remember, the be 13 support team is always here for you.
