Community Family Support

Having a trusted friend or family member by your side reduces pressure; if you share the budget and playing time, control becomes easier

This method works in many homes across South Asia

A

Time limit setting

For a session you can choose 15, 30 or 60 minutes; the app stops automatically when time ends

Even busy Dhaka users don't forget to take breaks

B

Self-limitation

Pause on the account for a set period; 7 days or 30 days can be chosen

If you want to move to the next step, the waiting time helps you think calmly

C

Warning messages

A warning appears if you play continuously or stay logged in for long; this small pause reduces a lot of trouble

When used at night, this works better

Is today's budget okay?

If spending limit is not set, stop first; even if using bKash, Nagad or Rocket, keep the limit separate

Have I taken a break?

If using for more than 20 minutes straight, stand up, drink water, and rest your eyes

Is this fun, or stress?

If it's not fun, slow down; when pressure increases, self-exclusion is better to choose

Have I told anyone?

Telling a trusted person makes keeping track easier; talk with family or a friend

Know the rules after downloading okz?

Review terms, breaks and pause path; you can understand it in 2 minutes

1

Limit first, play later

First set a time, then open the app

This keeps the decision clear from the start

2

One thing at a time

Don't run messages, videos and games together; when the mind is split, mistakes increase

Keeping the phone silent helps maintain focus

3

Regular breaks

Take a 5-minute break every 30 minutes; it's common but good practice

Eyes, head and mood all feel a little lighter

4

Keep help at hand

Save the support number before problems escalate so you can call quickly if needed

Many mistakes stop with this
