Responsible gaming, safety and controls in nnok App

Mental health services

If stress rises, start here; they listen about anxiety, loss of control and staying up late from gaming

In Dhaka, direct sessions are available, and in some places they also offer phone counseling

National helpline

If quick help is needed, the number 333 is useful for families to talk about stress and risky behaviors

Messages are taken day and night, so there's no need to delay

Government support center

District-level mental health and social support are available here, showing how to keep the family by your side

Counseling and subsequent guidance both exist

Clinical counseling

If gaming pressure disrupts sleep, studies or work, a professional counselor is needed; the first session usually works on habits, triggers and routines

Many people get a clear plan in 2-3 sessions

Family-based support

Often family members are the first to notice; when the family sits together to set limits, budgets and screen time, pressure decreases

This is especially useful for young players

Online support group

When feeling alone, support groups provide reassurance; hearing people with the same experience helps reveal your pattern

Weekly check-ins are good

Self-exclusion

If needed, take a break yourself; you can pause access for a specified time so that you stay clear-headed

Time limit setting

Set a limit of 10, 30 or 60 minutes; when time is up the app reminds you to stop

Spending limit

If spending with bKash, Nagad or Rocket, set the limit first so the monthly tally is clear

Is it the right time today?

If you feel tired, take a break today; a 15-minute break goes a long way

Have I written the budget in advance?

Once written, it does not increase unnecessarily; many Dhaka city users keep a monthly limit

Do I feel any pressure?

If you log in under pressure, decisions become poor; first talk to one trusted person

Does my account have limits?

If limits exist, play is regulated; after registering, open settings to check

Is today just for fun?

If it's fun, don't switch the type; otherwise take a short break, then think again

Limit first, start later

Set time and spending at the start of the day; this keeps control even when under pressure

Use mobile notifications

Reminders keep breaks in mind, especially on busy days

Keep the family informed

Just say in one line when you are playing and how long; share it

Take regular breaks

Pause for 5 minutes every 30 minutes; eyes, head and mind stay light
