Responsible Gaming at 123bd — Play Smart, Stay Safe
123bd is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for every player in Bangladesh. We believe that entertainment should never come at the cost of your wellbeing. This page outlines the tools, policies, and support resources available to help you stay in control of your gambling activity at all times.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At 123bd, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. From the moment you create your account to every session you play, we have built safeguards, tools, and policies into the platform to ensure that gambling remains a form of entertainment, not a source of harm. Below are the six pillars of our responsible gaming commitment.
Player Protection First
Every feature on the 123bd platform is designed with player safety as a priority. We place responsible gaming controls prominently in your account settings so they are always accessible, never buried.
Strict 18+ Enforcement
We verify the age of every player during registration and KYC review. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 is immediately suspended and closed, with all associated data handled per our Privacy Policy.
Deposit & Loss Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps and loss thresholds directly from your account dashboard. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately — increases require a 24-hour cooling period before activating.
Session Time Controls
Use our session timer tools to set a maximum play duration per session. When your limit is reached, you will receive a clear notification and the option to end your session or take a break before continuing.
Self-Exclusion Option
Players who feel they need a longer break can activate self-exclusion for a period of their choosing — from 30 days up to permanent closure. During exclusion, your account is locked and marketing communications are suspended.
24/7 Support Access
Our English-language support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. If you ever feel that gambling is affecting your life negatively, reach out to us — we are here to help, not to judge.
18+ Age Restriction Policy
123bd operates a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. Age verification is carried out at the point of registration and during the KYC review process. Players are required to provide a valid government-issued photo ID — such as a Bangladesh National ID card, passport, or driving licence — confirming they are 18 years of age or older before any real-money deposits or gameplay are permitted.
In addition to the initial verification check, 123bd monitors account activity on an ongoing basis. Accounts that exhibit patterns consistent with underage use — including unusual activity patterns, inconsistent identity data, or flagged payment methods — are subject to additional verification review or immediate suspension pending investigation.
Protecting Minors in Your Household
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend taking the following steps to prevent accidental or unauthorised access to the 123bd platform:
- Always log out of your 123bd account after each session, especially on shared or family devices.
- Do not save your login credentials in your browser's autofill or password manager on shared devices.
- Install parental control software (such as Net Nanny, Bark, or built-in device family controls) to restrict access to gambling websites on devices accessible to minors.
- Keep your account username and password confidential — do not share them with anyone, including family members.
- If you suspect a minor has accessed your 123bd account, contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and secure your account.
Player Protection Tools
123bd gives every registered player direct access to a suite of responsible gaming controls from within their account settings. These tools are free to use, take effect quickly, and are designed to put you in full control of your gambling activity.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you are allowed to deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. For example, you might cap weekly deposits at ৳5,000 to ensure your gambling spend stays within a comfortable budget. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour waiting period to give you time to reconsider.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set time frame. Once your loss threshold is reached for the period, your account will prevent further real-money play until the limit period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want a hard financial boundary while enjoying sports betting or casino games.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration — from 30 minutes to several hours. When the limit approaches, 123bd displays a prominent on-screen reminder showing how long you have been playing. At the limit, you can choose to end the session or take a mandatory cooling break before continuing.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic reality-check pop-ups that appear at intervals you choose (e.g., every 30 or 60 minutes). Each pop-up shows your session duration, net win/loss for the session, and prompts you to decide whether to continue or stop. This feature is particularly helpful for long casino or slot sessions.
Time-Out / Cooling-Off Period
Take a short break from gambling without permanently closing your account. Time-out periods are available from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, you cannot log in or place bets, and all promotional communications are paused. Your account and balance are preserved and available when the time-out expires.
Wagering Limits
In addition to deposit and loss limits, you can set a maximum wager amount per bet or per game round. This prevents impulsive high-stake decisions during a session and helps you maintain consistent, sustainable betting behaviour across cricket markets, slots, and live casino tables.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment. For most players, it stays that way. However, for some individuals, gambling can gradually shift from a leisure activity into a compulsive behaviour that causes real harm. Recognising the early warning signs is the first and most important step toward getting help.
Problem gambling does not always look dramatic. It often develops slowly, and many players rationalise early warning signs as temporary stress or bad luck. The following indicators, particularly when several appear together, may signal that gambling has moved beyond entertainment and is becoming a problem.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended or can comfortably afford.
- Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in order to win back money you have already lost.
- Thinking about gambling constantly, even during work, family time, or while trying to sleep.
- Borrowing money from family, friends, or financial services specifically to fund gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity from people close to you or lying about how much time or money you spend.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you attempt to reduce or stop gambling.
- Using gambling as a primary way to cope with stress, boredom, loneliness, or emotional difficulty.
- Missing work, study, or important family commitments because of time spent gambling.
- Neglecting personal health, meals, or relationships due to the amount of time dedicated to gambling.
- Making progressively larger bets in order to feel the same level of excitement as before.
- Multiple failed attempts to cut back on gambling, even when you sincerely want to.
- Selling personal possessions or taking out loans to continue gambling beyond your means.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Answer the following questions honestly to help you assess whether your gambling habits may be causing concern. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a private, informal self-check designed to prompt reflection. No data from this questionnaire is submitted to 123bd.
Ask Yourself These Questions
How to interpret your answers: If you answered "yes" to two or more of the questions above, your gambling habits may be worth examining more closely. We encourage you to use 123bd's built-in responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, time-out periods, or self-exclusion — and to consider reaching out to one of the support organisations listed in the Support Contacts section below.
Self-Exclusion & Account Closure
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on the 123bd platform. It allows you to voluntarily block yourself from accessing your account for a defined period or permanently. We treat all self-exclusion requests with the utmost seriousness and act on them without delay.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
You can activate self-exclusion in any of the following ways:
- Via Account Settings: Log in to 123bd, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion, select your desired exclusion period, and confirm. The exclusion takes effect within minutes.
- Via Live Chat: Contact our 24/7 support team through the live chat feature on the platform. Inform the agent that you wish to self-exclude. The agent will process your request immediately and confirm by email.
- Via Email: Send a self-exclusion request to [email protected] from your registered email address. Include your account username and your preferred exclusion period. We will action the request within 24 hours of receiving it and send you a written confirmation.
Available Exclusion Periods
- 30 days — a short-term break to reset habits and regain perspective.
- 90 days — a medium-term exclusion suitable for players seeking a meaningful pause.
- 6 months — an extended break for players experiencing more serious concern.
- 12 months — a long-term exclusion for players who need a sustained period away from gambling.
- Permanent / Indefinite — a permanent closure of your account. This is irreversible. Once permanent exclusion is activated, your account cannot be reopened under any circumstances, even if you later request reinstatement.
What Happens During Self-Exclusion
- Your account is immediately locked — you cannot log in, deposit, withdraw, or place bets.
- All pending promotional offers, bonus credits, and marketing communications are suspended for the duration of the exclusion.
- Your account balance is preserved (for non-permanent exclusions). Upon the expiry of the exclusion period, you may request reinstatement by contacting support — a mandatory cooling-off review will be conducted before your account is reactivated.
- For permanent exclusions, any remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay) after standard verification checks are completed.
Account Closure (Non-Problem-Gambling Reasons)
If you wish to close your account for reasons unrelated to problem gambling — for example, because you no longer wish to use the platform — you may do so by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Standard account closures (not self-exclusion) are processed within 5 business days. Any remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method after identity verification.
Support Contacts & Help Resources
You are not alone. If gambling is causing problems in your life, trained professionals and peer support networks can help. Below are the primary support options available to 123bd players in Bangladesh and internationally.
123bd Live Chat
Our support team is available 24/7. If you are concerned about your gambling, start a live chat session and ask to speak to a responsible gaming specialist. We respond in English.
123bd Support Email
Send your concerns, self-exclusion requests, or limit adjustment requests to [email protected]. We respond within 24 hours on all responsible gaming matters.
Gamblers Anonymous
A worldwide fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to recover from problem gambling. Meetings and resources are available internationally, including online.
Mental Health Professionals
Problem gambling is a recognised behavioural health condition. Licensed counsellors and psychologists in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other major cities offer confidential treatment and support.
Tips for Safer Gambling
The vast majority of 123bd players enjoy cricket betting, casino games, and slots as a fun and social activity. These practical tips can help you keep it that way — whether you are a casual player or someone who bets regularly on BPL matches and slots.
Set a Budget Before You Start
Decide how much money you can comfortably afford to spend on gambling before each session — and treat it as an entertainment expense, not an investment. Use 123bd's deposit limit tools to enforce this budget automatically so you never overspend in the heat of the moment.
Never Chase Your Losses
Chasing losses — placing increasingly large bets to recover money you have lost — is one of the most common and most dangerous gambling behaviours. If you reach your loss limit for the session, stop. The odds do not change because you have lost; each bet is independent of the last.
Balance Gambling With Other Activities
Gambling should be one leisure activity among many — not your primary source of entertainment or social connection. Make sure you are spending time on other interests, relationships, and activities outside of the 123bd platform, especially during high-energy cricket seasons like the BPL or T20 World Cup.
Never Gamble to Cope With Stress
Using gambling as a way to escape emotional problems, stress, grief, or anxiety is a warning sign that your relationship with it may be shifting. If you notice yourself turning to 123bd as a mood regulator rather than a recreational activity, consider using the time-out feature and speaking to a professional.
Take Regular Breaks
Long, uninterrupted gambling sessions impair decision-making and make impulsive behaviour more likely. Use the reality-check pop-ups and session time limits available in your 123bd account settings to ensure you take a break every hour and regularly reassess how your session is going.
Talk to Someone You Trust
Problem gambling thrives in secrecy. If you are worried about your gambling habits, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or professional. You do not have to wait until things are serious — early conversations are far easier and more effective than waiting for a crisis to emerge.
