Responsible Gaming
at hb baji
hb baji believes that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial harm, or distress. This page outlines the tools, policies, and resources available to every player in Bangladesh so you can stay in control of your gaming activity at all times.
1. Age Restriction Policy
Strictly 18+ Only: hb baji does not permit any person under the age of 18 to register an account, place bets, or access real-money games on this platform. Players in Bangladesh must be at least 18 years of age to participate. By registering an account, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
hb baji enforces a strict minimum age policy across all products — sports betting, live casino, slots, and instant games. Our age verification process is applied at the point of registration and again at the point of first withdrawal. All players are required to submit valid government-issued identification (such as a National Identity Card) to confirm they are 18 years of age or older before any withdrawal is processed.
If hb baji has reasonable grounds to suspect that a registered player may be under the age of 18, the account will be immediately suspended pending age verification. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be returned and all winnings will be voided. These measures are in place to protect minors and uphold our commitment to responsible gaming standards.
Protecting Minors at Home
If you share a device with younger family members or children, hb baji strongly recommends the following steps to prevent underage access:
- Always log out of your hb baji account after each session, especially on shared devices.
- Do not save your account credentials in shared browsers or password managers accessible to others.
- Consider installing parental control software on shared computers, tablets, and smartphones to restrict access to gambling websites.
- Keep your account login details — username, password, and any two-factor authentication codes — strictly private.
2. Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling is a popular form of entertainment for millions of players across Bangladesh — from cricket betting during BPL and T20 World Cup season to spinning the reels on slots during Eid holidays. For the vast majority of players, it remains an enjoyable and controlled activity. However, for some individuals, gambling can develop into a harmful pattern of behaviour that affects their financial wellbeing, mental health, relationships, and daily life.
Understanding the early warning signs of problem gambling is the first step toward getting help. hb baji encourages all players to regularly reflect on their gambling habits and to reach out if they recognise any of the following indicators in themselves or in someone they know.
Chasing losses: Placing additional bets in an attempt to recover money lost in previous sessions — a behaviour that often leads to escalating losses rather than recovery.
Betting beyond your means: Wagering money that is intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or children's education.
Inability to stop: Feeling unable to walk away from a session even when you intend to, or finding yourself gambling for longer than planned on a regular basis.
Preoccupation with gambling: Spending a significant amount of time thinking about past gambling sessions, planning future bets, or looking for new ways to fund gambling activity.
Concealment and dishonesty: Hiding gambling activity from family members, friends, or employers, or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling.
Borrowing to gamble: Taking out loans, borrowing from friends or relatives, or using credit to fund gambling deposits — particularly via bKash, Nagad, or Rocket mobile wallets.
Mood dependency: Gambling primarily to escape stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, or emotional difficulty, rather than for entertainment.
Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, skipping family commitments, or neglecting personal health because of time or money spent on gambling.
You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling is a recognised condition that can affect anyone, regardless of income, education, or background. Recognising the signs early and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. hb baji's support team is available at [email protected] to help you access the right resources.
3. Self-Exclusion Tools
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to a player who believes their gambling is becoming a problem. When you activate a self-exclusion on your hb baji account, you will be prevented from logging in, placing bets, making deposits, or accessing any real-money features of the platform for the duration of the exclusion period.
hb baji offers self-exclusion periods of varying lengths to match the severity of the player's situation. During a self-exclusion period, your account is locked and cannot be unlocked before the chosen period expires — even if you contact support and request early reinstatement. This cooling-off mechanism is intentional and designed to protect you.
A short-term exclusion period for players who feel they need a temporary break from gambling. Your account is suspended for 30 days and automatically reopens thereafter.
A medium-term option for players who want a more substantial break. Recommended for players who have identified recurring patterns of problem behaviour.
A six-month exclusion for players requiring an extended period away from gambling to address financial or personal challenges resulting from their activity.
A permanent account closure with no reopening option. Recommended for players who have concluded that gambling is incompatible with their long-term wellbeing. Account balance will be returned.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered account username and your preferred exclusion period (30, 90, or 180 days, or permanent).
Our support team will confirm your identity to ensure the request is being made by the registered account holder. This step protects you from unauthorised exclusion requests.
Once confirmed, your account will be locked within 24 hours (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6). You will receive an email confirmation when the exclusion has been applied.
Any remaining balance in your account at the time of exclusion will be returned to your nominated bKash, Nagad, or Rocket wallet within 3–5 business days, subject to standard verification checks.
4. Deposit Limits
Setting deposit limits is one of the most proactive steps you can take to manage your gambling budget responsibly. hb baji allows players to set a maximum cap on the amount they can deposit into their account over a defined time period. Once a deposit limit is in place, the platform will automatically reject any deposit attempt that would cause you to exceed your chosen cap.
Deposit limits are available across three time frames to suit different budgeting preferences. All deposit limit amounts are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳).
Set a maximum deposit amount per calendar day. Ideal for players who want tight, real-time control over their daily spending on the hb baji platform.
Set a maximum total deposit across any rolling 7-day period. A balanced option for players who manage their entertainment budget on a weekly basis.
Set a maximum total deposit across any rolling 30-day period. Recommended for players who prefer to budget on a monthly income cycle.
Limit Adjustment Rules
To prevent impulsive decisions in the heat of a gambling session, hb baji applies the following rules to deposit limit changes:
- Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. You can reduce your deposit cap at any time without a waiting period.
- Raising a limit is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the higher limit becomes active. This gives you time to reconsider the decision.
- Removing a limit entirely is also subject to the 7-day waiting period.
To set or modify your deposit limits, contact our support team at [email protected] or use the responsible gaming settings within your account dashboard.
5. Time-Out Features
In addition to deposit limits and self-exclusion, hb baji provides a range of time-out and session management tools designed to help players maintain healthy gambling habits and avoid excessive play sessions.
Set a maximum session duration for each visit to hb baji. When your session timer expires, you will be automatically logged out and prompted to take a break before you can log back in.
Configure periodic on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session. These prompts encourage mindful play.
Activate a short voluntary break of 24, 48, or 72 hours. During this period your account is temporarily inaccessible, giving you time to rest and reassess your gambling habits.
Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose per day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is reached, your account will automatically restrict further betting activity until the period resets.
How to Activate Time-Out Tools: All time-out and session management tools can be requested by contacting [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming — Time-Out Request". Our team will configure the requested setting on your account within 24 hours (BST, UTC+6).
6. Player Self-Assessment
The following questions are designed to help you honestly assess whether your gambling habits have become a concern. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a private self-reflection exercise intended to raise awareness. Answer each question honestly, thinking about your gambling behaviour over the past 12 months.
If you answer "yes" to three or more of the questions below, hb baji strongly encourages you to activate one of the responsible gaming tools described on this page, or to contact our support team for a confidential discussion.
Have you ever gambled with money that was originally set aside for essential household expenses, such as rent, food, or utility bills?
Have you tried to win back money you lost gambling by placing additional bets, rather than accepting the loss?
Have you ever borrowed money from friends, family members, or a financial institution specifically to fund gambling activity?
Have you found yourself thinking about gambling for extended periods when you are not actively playing — for example, planning future bets or replaying past sessions in your mind?
Have you ever felt the need to conceal or minimise how much time or money you spend gambling from people who are close to you?
Has gambling caused arguments, tension, or stress in your relationships with family members, a partner, or close friends?
Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you have started a session, even when you originally intended to play for only a short period?
Have you ever missed work, study commitments, or important family events because of time spent gambling or recovering from gambling-related stress?
Your answers are private. This self-assessment is not submitted to hb baji — it is for your own personal reflection only. If your answers concern you, please read Section 7 below for details of free support services available to players in Bangladesh.
7. Support Resources
If you believe that gambling is becoming a problem for you or for someone you care about, professional support is available. hb baji encourages all players in Bangladesh to reach out to the following resources. Seeking help early can prevent significant financial and emotional harm and is always the right decision.
An international fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other in order to solve their common problem and recover from compulsive gambling. Meetings and online resources are available globally, including for Bangladeshi players.
GamCare is a leading provider of free information, advice, and support for anyone affected by problem gambling. Their online resources, helpline, and live chat service are available internationally and can be accessed by players based in Bangladesh.
Problem gambling is closely linked to stress, anxiety, and depression. If you are experiencing mental health difficulties alongside gambling concerns, please speak with a registered mental health professional or GP in Bangladesh. Your wellbeing matters more than any wager.
Problem gambling affects not just the individual player but also those close to them. Gam-Anon offers dedicated support groups for family members and friends of people affected by compulsive gambling, providing a confidential, non-judgmental space to share experiences.
Financial Counselling: If gambling has caused significant financial difficulty, consider speaking with a qualified financial counsellor. Many non-profit debt counselling services are available in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other major Bangladeshi cities. A financial counsellor can help you build a realistic recovery plan and manage any debts incurred through gambling activity.
