Responsible Gaming Tools
Use wj6's dedicated features to stay in control of your gaming experience.
Deposit Limit
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, it cannot be reduced before the designated period ends — this is in place for your own protection.
Session Time Limit
Set a maximum time limit for each gaming session. When the time is up, wj6 will automatically prompt you to take a break.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a self-imposed break for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. No betting will be possible from your account during this period.
Self-Exclusion
Take a permanent break lasting between 6 months and 5 years. Your account will be completely deactivated during this period and cannot be extended.
Reality Check
Receive automatic reminders every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — so you always know how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
Loss Limit
Automatically stop play when you reach a set loss amount. This tool is highly effective for keeping financial losses in check.
What Is Responsible Gaming and Why Does It Matter?
Responsible gaming means keeping gaming in its proper place — as an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a central source of stress in your life. At wj6, responsible gaming means you know when to play, how long to play, and how much to spend.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. In this environment, wj6 sees it as a key responsibility to keep players informed. The core principles of responsible gaming are:
- View gaming purely as entertainment — not as a way to make money.
- Play within your means — don't chase losses with bigger bets.
- Set personal time and spending limits — and stick to them.
- Put family, friends, and work ahead of gaming.
- Avoid gaming when you are stressed or acting on emotion.
Remember: responsible gaming is not a sign of weakness — it is the mark of a smart player.
Check Yourself
Answer the following questions honestly. If most of your answers are "yes", consider reaching out for help.
Do you spend more than your set budget and feel regret afterwards?
Do you feel the urge to place larger bets to recover money you have lost?
Do you hide your gaming habits from family or friends?
Do you neglect work, family, or other responsibilities to spend more time gaming?
Do you feel bored, anxious, or restless when you're not gaming?
Do you use money set aside for daily essentials — such as food or rent — to fund your gaming?
Do you find yourself thinking about or dreaming of gaming even while trying to sleep?
If you answered "Yes" to 3 or more questions, please contact wj6 Support or activate a cooling-off period.
Signs of Gaming Addiction & What to Do
Gaming addiction develops gradually. The early signs can be easy to miss, but they can become serious over time. The various stages of addiction and what to do at each stage are explained in detail below.
At this stage, gaming is still under control but some concerning patterns are beginning to emerge. Signs include: playing slightly longer than planned, occasionally exceeding your budget by a small amount, and thinking about gaming a bit more than usual.
What to do: Set deposit limits and session time limits on wj6. Stay aware of your own gaming habits.
At this stage, gaming starts to affect other areas of life. Signs include: regularly exceeding your budget, spending less time with work or family, chasing losses with bigger bets, and lying to loved ones about your gaming.
What to do: Activate a cooling-off period on wj6. Let someone you trust — a family member or friend — know what you're going through. Seek professional advice if needed.
At this stage, gaming takes over as the centre of daily life. Signs include: spending money meant for essential expenses on gaming, borrowing money to play, putting your family or job at risk, and experiencing intense distress when unable to play.
What to do: Activate self-exclusion on wj6 immediately and seek help from a qualified mental health professional. This is not a sign of weakness — it takes real courage.
If you believe a family member is struggling with gaming addiction, there are some important steps you can take: speak to them with empathy rather than anger or criticism, try to understand their financial situation, encourage them to seek professional help, and take care of your own mental health too.
The wj6 support team is also available to help family members. Reach out to us directly.

How to Use wj6's Protection Tools
Set a Deposit Limit
Log in to your wj6 account and go to Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limit. Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 7-day waiting period.
Start Session Timer
Set a time limit before you start playing. When the time is up, you'll receive a notification so you can choose to stop. This helps you build a habit of taking regular breaks.
Take a Cooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a break, activate the cooling-off period from Settings. You can pause for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. Betting will not be possible during this time.
Self-Exclude
Choose self-exclusion for a long-term break. Once activated, it cannot be reversed before the set period ends (6 months to 5 years). This is the most effective option for serious addiction.

The Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming
Wj6 encourages every player to follow these simple yet important rules:
- Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it.
- Resist the temptation to chase losses by betting more after a loss.
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
- Take breaks between gaming sessions.
- Don't treat gaming as a source of income.
- Stop at your set time limit — even when you're on a winning streak.
- Discuss your gaming budget openly with your family.
- Review wj6's protection tools regularly.
Keep in mind: a loss does not guarantee a win next time. Every game outcome is completely independent and has no connection to previous results.
