Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play responsibly, within your means, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, it’s time to stop.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years or older (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, including Bangladesh) to participate in any gambling activity. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent access by minors.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or a loved one, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you’ve lost by gambling more.
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed after gambling.
• Being unable to stop or reduce gambling despite repeated attempts.
• Using gambling as a way to escape from stress or other problems.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling platforms offer tools to help you stay in control. These may include:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
• Loss limits – cap the amount you are willing to lose over a specific period.
• Reality checks – receive reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Self-exclusion – temporarily or permanently block yourself from gambling on a particular site or app.
• Time-out periods – take a short break from gambling (e.g., 24 hours to 6 weeks).

Use these tools proactively to keep gambling safe and enjoyable.
