The Core Pillars of Responsible Gaming

Six Key Pillars of Pinup's Safe Gaming Framework

Set a Budget Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit and betting limits. Once a limit is reached, the system will automatically block further activity.

Session Time Controls

Set a daily session time limit. Once the time is up, Pinup will remind you or log you out automatically.

Breaks & Cooling-Off

Take a break anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. Your account will be completely locked during this period.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, you can request a self-exclusion lasting anywhere from 6 months to 5 years. Once activated, it cannot be cancelled.

Loss Limit

If your losses exceed a set limit, the system automatically stops your gaming session. This is an effective way to keep financial losses in check.

Support & Counseling

If you feel something is wrong, our support team can point you to professional counseling services — completely confidentially.

What responsible gaming means

Responsible Gaming means treating gaming as a form of entertainment — not a source of income or a way to cope with stress. Pinup believes every player should enjoy gaming within their own means.

Simply put, responsible gaming means you decide how much time you spend, how much BDT you use, and when to stop. pinup provides a range of tools to help you stay in control.

Many users in Bangladesh assume gaming always carries risk. But when approached with awareness and clear boundaries, it can be a fully enjoyable experience. The key is staying informed and taking responsibility for your own decisions.

Only individuals aged 18 and above may open an account on Pinup. Age verification is mandatory.

Signs of Problem Gaming

Recognizing when gaming is becoming a problem is the most important step. Watch out for the following signs:

  • Feeling a persistent urge to keep playing in order to win back lost money.
  • Unable to stop gaming — constantly thinking about it.
  • Spending more time on gaming than with family, friends, or work.
  • Spending money meant for food, bills, or other essential expenses on gaming.
  • Lying about or hiding your gaming activity.
  • Feeling irritable or restless when you are unable to game.
  • Continuing to gamble by taking loans or borrowing money.
  • Repeatedly trying to quit but being unable to.

If three or more of these signs apply to you, contact Pinup Support today.

Check yourself — 7 questions

Ask yourself the following questions honestly:

1

Are you spending more on gaming than your budget allows?

2

Do you keep playing after a loss, convinced your luck is about to turn?

3

Is gaming affecting your work or family relationships?

4

Are you borrowing or taking loans to fund your gaming?

5

Is gaming affecting your sleep or overall health?

6

Are you hiding your gaming from family or friends?

7

Have you tried to stop gaming but keep failing?

If you answered "yes" to two or more questions, consider self-exclusion or a cooling-off period.

Advice for Family & Loved Ones

Often, a family member or someone close is the first to notice when a person is developing a gaming problem. If you believe someone you care about is showing signs of problematic gaming behavior, take the following steps:

  • Have an open conversation: Approach the conversation with empathy, not criticism. Say "I'm worried about you" — not blame.
  • Gather information: Learn about problem gaming. It is a mental health issue, not a character flaw or weakness.
  • Seek Professional Help: Reach out to a mental health professional or counselor.
  • Contact Pinup Support: Our support team can also assist as a third party.
  • Know your limits: Don't let supporting a loved one take a toll on you. Take a break when you need to.

Remember — recovery from problem gaming is possible. With the right support, many people have returned to a normal life.

Follow these simple guidelines for responsible gaming on Pinup:

  • Set Your Budget First: Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start playing.

  • Never play with borrowed money: Only play with money you can afford to lose.
  • Don't Play When You're Angry or Upset: Decisions made on impulse are often the wrong ones.
