1. Our Commitment to Healthy Gaming Habits
Hello, gamers of Bangladesh! My name is Troy Dela Cruz, founder of 7xmbangladesh.com. As someone who has spent years immersed in the gaming world – both as an iGaming writer and reviewer, and as a passionate MOBA player – I know firsthand the joy and excitement gaming can bring. However, like any enjoyable activity, gaming should be balanced and approached responsibly.
At 7xmbangladesh.com, our mission is to provide you with comprehensive and educational gaming information. Just as important as sharing knowledge about games, is promoting healthy and responsible gaming habits. We believe gaming should always be a source of entertainment and fun, not a source of stress or problems.
2. What is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible Gaming is all about ensuring that your gaming activities remain a positive and controlled part of your life. It means being aware of your habits, setting limits, and knowing when to take a break or seek help if gaming starts to negatively impact your well-being, relationships, or daily life.
3. Key Principles for Responsible Gaming
We encourage all our readers to adopt the following principles to maintain a healthy relationship with gaming:
3.1. Set Your Limits
- Time Limits: Decide how much time you will spend gaming each day or week, and stick to it. Schedule breaks regularly.
- Spending Limits (for in-game purchases/Web3): Even if you’re not gambling, many games involve in-game purchases, loot boxes, or Web3 assets. Set a budget for these and never spend more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
3.2. Maintain Balance in Your Life
- Balance Gaming with Other Activities: Ensure gaming doesn’t replace school, work, family time, social activities, exercise, or sleep.
- Stay Connected: Don’t let gaming isolate you. Keep up with friends and family offline.
3.3. Understand and Recognize the Signs
- Know the Warning Signs: Be aware if gaming starts to consume too much of your thoughts, if you feel anxious or irritable when you can’t play, or if you lie about your gaming habits.
- Gaming for Fun, Not Escape: Remember that gaming is entertainment. Don’t use it as a way to escape from problems, stress, or negative emotions.
3.4. Protect Minors
- Parental Guidance: If you are a parent or guardian, actively manage your children’s gaming time and content. Understand parental control features on devices and games.
- Age Ratings: Respect game age ratings to ensure content is appropriate for young players.
3.5. When to Seek Help
- If you or someone you know is struggling to control their gaming habits, or if gaming is causing problems in daily life, it’s crucial to seek help. Recognizing the problem is the first step.
4. Our Stance: Information, Not Addiction

5. Resources for Help
If you feel that gaming has become a problem for you or a loved one, please reach out for support. You are not alone.
While we are an information hub, we strongly encourage you to contact professional organizations that specialize in gaming addiction or mental health support.
Here are types of resources you can look for in Bangladesh:
- Local Mental Health Services: Search for mental health clinics or counseling services in your area.
- Support Groups: Look for local or online support groups focused on healthy gaming or addiction recovery.
- Helplines: Check if there are national helplines for mental health or addiction support in Bangladesh.
- General Health Professionals: Speak to your doctor, who can guide you to appropriate resources.
