3. Tips for Setting Time & Budget Limits
Planned Gaming Is Healthy Gaming
How to Plan Your Budget
Set aside a fixed amount each month for gaming and treat it as an entertainment expense — just like you would for movies or dining out. We recommend spending no more than 5% of your monthly income on gaming. Set a deposit limit and stick to it. If you lose, don't chase your losses by placing bigger bets — that mindset is where the real risk begins. At aq990, you can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits at any time.
Time Management Strategies
Set a fixed daily time limit for gaming and stick to it. Before you start, check the clock and remind yourself how long you plan to play. Never let gaming cut into time meant for family, friends, or work — over time, that leads to social isolation. Build a habit of not gaming right before bed, as it lowers sleep quality. aq990 helps you track your session time and set automatic session limits whenever you need them.
Entertainment Budget
Spend No More Than 5% of Your Monthly Income on Gaming
Daily Time
Keep it to a maximum of 1–2 hours per day
Weekly Break
Take at least one full day off from gaming each week
4. Make Use of Self-Control Tools
Aq990 puts you in control of your gaming
Set a Deposit Limit
At aq990, you can set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits directly from your account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately — and to increase it, you'll need to wait through a mandatory cooling-off period. This feature is especially useful when you feel your spending is getting out of hand. Reducing a limit applies instantly, but increasing one requires a 24–48 hour waiting period, which helps prevent impulsive decisions. Taking this step is a sign of self-awareness, and aq990 respects that.
Breaks & Cooling-Off Period
If you feel like you need a break from gaming for a while, aq990's cooling-off feature is here for you. You can temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this period, you won't be able to log in or place any bets. Once the break period ends, your account will be reactivated automatically. This pause helps you make clearer decisions and refocus on other areas of your life.
Self-Exclusion: Long-Term Protection
If you feel that gaming is seriously affecting your life, Self-Exclusion is the most powerful step you can take. Once activated, your account will be fully suspended for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years, and it cannot be reactivated during that period. aq990 treats these requests with the utmost seriousness — no marketing messages or promotional content will be sent while Self-Exclusion is active. Even after the period ends, a cooling-off phase ensures you're genuinely ready before returning. Choosing this path takes real courage, and we'll be with you every step of the way.
Bet Limits & Reality Check
On aq990, you can set a maximum stake per bet, protecting you from large losses in the heat of the moment. The reality check feature sends you a reminder after a set period, showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent — helping you stay aware and decide when to stop. Your full gaming history and spending summary are always accessible from your account. Transparency and control are the two principles behind every self-control tool aq990 offers.
5. Our Firm Stance on Protecting Minors
This platform is strictly prohibited for anyone under 18
Age Verification & Registration Policy
Every user must verify their age and identity when registering on aq990. No one under 18 can open an account, and any attempt to bypass this rule will result in immediate account closure. No transactions or withdrawals can be completed without age verification. Our system regularly reviews accounts to ensure no underage users remain active. aq990 makes no compromises when it comes to protecting children and teenagers online.
Advice for Parents
If you have children or teenagers at home and use aq990, make sure your account details are not accessible to them. Keep your phone or computer password-protected and get into the habit of logging out. Use parental control software on shared devices to restrict access to gaming and betting sites. Have an open conversation with your children about the risks of online gaming and encourage healthy digital habits. If you suspect a minor is using aq990, contact our support team immediately.
6. Maintain Life Balance & Seek Professional Support
Gaming Is a Small Part of Life — Not the Whole of It
Tips for a Healthy Lifestyle
Keep gaming as one small leisure activity in your life — it should never take priority over your career, family, friendships, or health. Make time every day for exercise, family, and hobbies you enjoy. Stay on track with your financial goals — savings, investments, and family needs always come before your gaming budget. Instead of turning to gaming to relieve stress, try exercise, meditation, or spending time with friends. Remember, a well-balanced life can bring far more joy and fulfillment than gaming ever could.
Where to Find Professional Help
If you feel that your gaming or betting is getting out of control, seeking professional help is the wisest thing you can do. Mental health professionals, counsellors, and support groups that specialise in gaming addiction are available across Bangladesh. Talk openly with a trusted family member or close friend — problems tend to grow in isolation. aq990's support team is also ready to point you toward the right resources and guidance. Asking for help isn't giving up — it's a commitment to taking care of yourself and living well.
