What is responsible gaming?
Responsible gaming means playing within your limits. At bdbjl, it means knowing your boundaries, keeping your bets under control, and treating gaming purely as entertainment. Online gaming can be a great pastime, but problems arise when it goes beyond your control.
Bdbjl offers a range of tools and policies to ensure every member games responsibly. On this page, we cover how to play safely, what signs may indicate a problem, and where to get help if you need it. Remember, responsible gaming isn't just a policy — it's a way of life that safeguards your financial and mental well-being.
Age restriction: 18+ only
The first rule of bdbjl's responsible gaming policy is this: you must be at least 18 years old to open an account. We verify age at registration and conduct regular audits. It is not possible to open an account on behalf of another person or a minor. Our advice to parents: monitor your child's internet activity and use parental control software where needed.
Set Your Limits
Responsible gaming starts with knowing your limits. bdbjl provides several settings that let you stay in control of your gaming activity. The limits below can be enabled from your account settings:
- Deposit limit: Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Starting with a low limit is the smart move for responsible gaming.
- Bet limit: Set a maximum amount per individual bet.
- Loss limit: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given period. Once you reach that limit, you will automatically be stopped from playing further.
- Session Limit: Decide how long you will play in a single session.
These limits can be lowered at any time, but increasing them is subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period. This period helps prevent impulsive decisions and supports responsible gaming.
Self-Exclusion: When You Need a Break
If you feel your gaming habits are getting out of control, use bdbjl's self-exclusion feature. It is the most effective step you can take toward responsible gaming. You can choose to exclude yourself for 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or permanently.
After activating self-exclusion, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or receive any promotions during the set period. Once this period ends, you can reactivate your account on your own. However, for permanent self-exclusion, you will need to contact our support team.
Important: Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be cancelled. Take this decision seriously to maintain responsible gaming.
Recognize the Warning Signs
Practising responsible gaming means keeping an eye on your own behaviour. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to seek help:
- Skipping time with family, friends, or work in order to play.
- Placing more bets to recover lost money ("chasing losses").
- Spending beyond your means or taking on debt.
- Lying to or hiding gaming activity from family.
- Losing control or becoming irritable while gaming.
- Experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression.
- Unable to stop playing even when you want to.
If you recognise these signs in yourself, please use bdbjl's self-exclusion feature or seek professional support. Responsible gaming matters not just for you, but for your family too.
Professional Support
If you feel your gaming habits have gone out of control, do not be ashamed to ask for help. As part of bdbjl's responsible gaming policy, we are connected with various support organisations. A number of groups, both in Bangladesh and internationally, work specifically on gaming addiction.
These organisations can provide counselling, therapy, and support groups. Remember, asking for help is not a sign of weakness — it takes courage. The first step toward responsible gaming is acknowledging that you need support.
Tip: If you are worried about someone — a friend, relative, or family member — have an open conversation with them and encourage them to seek help.
