01 What is responsible gaming?
Responsible Gaming refers to a mindset in which a player bets consciously, in a controlled manner, and with a clear plan. It goes beyond simply following rules — it's an attitude that allows you to accept both wins and losses equally, and to resist the temptation to keep playing without limits even after a loss.
Responsible gaming on civi 1 means setting a budget in advance, sticking to it, not exceeding a set playtime, and never treating betting as a source of income. civi 1 respects this mindset, and every tool we've built is designed to put that philosophy into practice.
Online betting is still relatively new to many people in Bangladesh, and it's easy to get in over your head without fully understanding the risks. civi 1 wants you to make every decision with confidence and clarity. Building responsible gambling habits turns betting into a genuine entertainment experience — not a source of stress.
02 Why Responsible Gaming Matters
Online betting is highly accessible — you can play anytime, anywhere. But that convenience can also become a risk. Research shows that players who bet without responsible gaming habits are more likely to experience financial difficulties, family stress, and mental strain.
Civi 1 is committed to responsible gaming because we want our users to be happy in the long run. A happy, healthy player is our greatest success. Building a business at the expense of our users' wellbeing is not what we're here for.
- Financial Protection: Planned betting keeps your savings and your family's financial security intact.
- Mental Well-being: Responsible gambling helps keep anxiety and stress at bay.
- Family Relationships: Responsible behaviour preserves trust and strengthens family relationships.
- Long-term enjoyment: Responsible betting keeps the experience fun — it stays entertainment, not a burden.

04 10 Simple Tips for Safer Betting
Follow these tips to build responsible gaming habits at civi 1:
- Play for entertainment only — not as a source of income.
- Set your budget first — Set an amount you're genuinely comfortable losing.
- Stop when you're losing — chasing losses will only lead to losing more.
- Avoid Betting Under the Influence or When Stressed — your ability to make sound decisions starts to decline.
- Take a Break — at least a 10-minute break every hour is essential.
- Think of winnings as a bonus — every win is rewarding, but never guaranteed.
- Keep other hobbies in your life — there's so much more to enjoy in life beyond betting.
- Don't check your account late at night — Poor decisions happen more often when you're tired.
- Use civi 1's Responsible Gambling Tools — Keep your deposit limit and session timer turned on.
- Talk to Someone — Let someone you trust know that you're betting.
05 How to Plan Your Budget
The most important step to betting successfully and safely is setting a realistic budget. It's not complicated — just a few simple rules to follow.
Steps to build a monthly betting budget
- Calculate your monthly income — Subtract all essential expenses (rent, groceries, bills, savings) from your total income.
- Set Aside an Entertainment Budget — Set aside a small portion of what remains for entertainment.
- Set your betting allowance — Allocate no more than 20–30% of your entertainment budget for betting.
- Set a deposit limit on civi 1 — Set a limit to avoid depositing more than a predetermined amount.
Remember — your betting budget should be an amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life. Never go beyond that.
06 civi 1's Self-Regulation Tools
Civi 1 has developed several powerful self-regulation tools for its users. These can be activated at any time from your Account Settings:
- Deposit Limit: Set a maximum daily/weekly/monthly deposit amount.
- Bet Limit: Decide the maximum amount you're willing to stake on a single bet.
- Session Time Limit: Automatic alerts when you've been playing longer than your set time.
- Cooling-Off Period: Temporarily pause your account for 24 to 48 hours.
- Self-Exclusion: Deactivate your account completely for anywhere between 7 days and 6 months.
Once these tools are activated, they cannot be changed before the set period ends. This is by design — so you can't lift your own limits in a moment of impulse.
07 The Role of Family & Friends
Family and friends are the greatest support system for responsible gaming. Often, the people closest to you are the first to notice when someone may be developing a betting problem.
If someone close to you seems to be spending too much time or money on betting, approach them with empathy rather than anger or blame. Let them know you're there for them, and gently encourage them to seek professional support if needed.
Civi 1's Help Center-also provides guidelines for family members — how to start the conversation, how to offer support, and when to seek professional help.
