Does responsible gaming mean quitting altogether?

Not at all. Responsible gaming isn't about quitting — it's about enjoying yourself mindfully. With your budget and time in check, gaming can be a great form of entertainment. sona88 wants you to play happy and stay well for the long run.

Can I lower my own deposit limit myself?

Yes, you can lower your deposit limit at any time from your account settings and the change takes effect immediately. However, increasing your limit requires a waiting period — this helps prevent impulsive decisions.

Will I lose my account balance if I self-exclude?

No, self-exclusion does not affect your account balance. You can still complete a withdrawal through our support team. Your funds remain yours at all times.

How do I help a family member with a gaming addiction?

Start with empathy — try to understand how they feel rather than placing blame. Reach out to the sona88 support team and seek professional help. Remember, addiction is a health issue, not a lack of willpower.

Does sona88 genuinely believe in responsible gaming?

Yes, it's part of our core values. We don't just think about profit — the long-term happiness and well-being of our players matter most to us. That's why we actively provide tools and reach out to players ourselves when we see a concern.

What if someone under 18 creates an account?

sona88 follows a strict age verification process. If you suspect a minor has opened an account, please notify us immediately at support@sona88.pro. The account will be closed right away and any deposited funds will be refunded.

What responsible gaming is and why it matters

Responsible gaming means keeping gaming within limits as a leisure activity — where you decide when to play, and how much time and money to spend. sona88 believes gaming should be a source of enjoyment, not stress or addiction.

Online gaming is growing in popularity across Bangladesh. But like any form of entertainment, it calls for awareness. Many people unknowingly spend more time or money than they intend, which can create problems in their personal and family lives.

Sona88 provides a range of tools and features to support responsible play. On this page, you can learn all about them and how to build safe, healthy gaming habits.

              Core principle: Gaming is entertainment — not a source of income, not a way to recover losses. Before every session, ask yourself: am I playing for fun, or am I playing under pressure?

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

To play responsibly on sona88, we recommend following a few simple but effective guidelines:

Set your budget in advance: Before you start playing, decide the maximum amount in BDT you're willing to spend today and stick to it.
Don't chase your losses: "Chasing losses" is one of the most dangerous habits. If you've had a losing session, accept it and walk away.
Set your time limits: Decide how long you'll play before you start. Use an alarm or timer to keep track.
Don't play under the influence or when stressed: Avoid gaming when you're not in a good headspace.
Enjoy other forms of entertainment too: Gaming is just one part of life. Make time for family, friends, and your other interests.
Winnings are never guaranteed: Remember that winning and losing are both part of gaming. No strategy guarantees a win every time.
Don't hesitate to ask for help: If you feel something is wrong, contact sona88 support.
