Important Notice

Gaming is purely for entertainment — it is not a source of income. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. If you feel things are getting out of hand, contact us right away.

What Fanatics Does to Support Responsible Play

At Fanatics, a happy player is a safe player. Every feature we offer is designed to keep you in control.

Deposit Limit Settings

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be exceeded — you stay in full control.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you want to play. When your time is up, Fanatics will let you know — take a break and stay refreshed.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Temporarily suspend your account for anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days. Taking a break is a sign of strength.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a long break, close your account for 6 months or more. It takes courage — and it's the right call.

Loss Limit

Play stops automatically once you've lost a set amount. This tool keeps you within your budget — every time.

Reality Check Messages

After a set period, Fanatics will remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent. Stay connected to reality.

What Does Responsible Gaming Mean?

Responsible gaming isn't just about following rules — it's about being honest with yourself. Our top priority is making sure every player on Fanatics has a positive, enjoyable experience.

Gaming is a leisure activity — it should be as enjoyable as spending time with family or friends. But when someone starts going over budget or sees gaming as a way to escape problems, it's time to seek help.

At Fanatics, we believe an informed player is the best player. That's why we equip every user with the right information and tools to make confident, mindful decisions.

Keep in mind: Never gamble with borrowed money. Never bet what you can't afford to lose.

Responsible play isn't just for individuals — it's for families too. Your well-being and your relationships always come first.

Responsible Gaming Principles

Responsible play at Fanatics isn't an obligation — it's a culture. We want every player to enjoy gaming as entertainment, not let it become an addiction.

Thousands of users in Bangladesh play on Fanatics every day, and the vast majority enjoy gaming in a healthy, controlled way. Responsible play comes down to three things:

  • Set a Budget: Decide upfront how much you're willing to spend — and stick to it.
  • Set a time limit: Decide how long you'll play before you start — not at midnight.
  • Stay Well: Avoid gaming when you're tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
Tips: See gaming as an occasional form of entertainment — not a substitute for time spent with family and friends.

Protecting Family & Loved Ones

Gaming problems don't just affect one person — they affect the whole family. Fanatics gives equal importance to the well-being of family members.

If you believe a family member is struggling with gaming on Fanatics:

  • Talk to them openly — with empathy, not accusations.
  • Reach out to the Fanatics support team — we're here to help, and your privacy is fully protected.
  • Help them through the self-exclusion process.
  • Consider seeking professional counselling.

Parents or guardians can contact us directly to help protect minors on Fanatics. We'll act promptly.

Remember: Asking for help isn't weakness. The Fanatics team is always ready to help — without judgment.

Understanding Gaming Addiction

How Does Addiction Start?

Gaming addiction typically develops gradually. It often starts with occasional play, then slowly more time and money get involved. The brain's reward system keeps chasing the thrill of a win, and losses trigger an urge to chase them back.

Who Is Most at Risk?

People under stress, facing financial hardship, or feeling isolated are at higher risk of developing a gaming addiction — as are younger players. Awareness and setting the right limits can significantly reduce that risk.

What Should You Do?

Use Fanatics' responsible gaming tools. Take breaks when needed. Talk to someone you trust. Seek professional help if necessary. Remember, acknowledging a problem is the first step toward solving it.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Yes, reducing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions.

When you activate self-exclusion, you'll have the opportunity to withdraw any balance in your account. During the self-exclusion period, new deposits will not be possible and access to your account will be suspended.

Change your password immediately and contact our support team. Fanatics' security team will investigate and act promptly. You can also request a temporary account lock.

A cooling-off period cannot be cancelled before the set time. This is by design — the full duration is needed for the break to be effective. Once the period ends, your account will be reactivated automatically.

Yes. Family members are welcome to contact our support team. We handle all enquiries with full confidentiality. If needed, we can also help initiate the self-exclusion process on the relevant account.

Fanatics verifies date of birth at registration and confirms identity through the KYC process. Any account found to belong to someone under 18 is closed immediately. Parents and guardians are advised to enable parental controls on their children's devices.
