Bdbook's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Bdbook believes gaming should be entertainment — a source of enjoyment, not financial hardship. Every player's mental and financial wellbeing matters more to us than the outcome of any game.
By responsible gaming, we mean playing within your means, not letting gaming become the sole priority in your life, and having the courage to seek help when you need it. When you join bdbook, you're not just entering a gaming environment — you're becoming part of a responsible and caring community.
Our Responsible Gaming program is available to every user, completely free of charge. This page covers how you can stay in control of your gaming and where to find support if you need it.
Our Core Message
The best gaming experience happens when you're in control. bdbook is here to help you stay that way.
Core Principles of Responsible Gaming
Bdbook operates its Responsible Gaming program based on the following core principles:
Gaming as Entertainment
Gaming is an enjoyable leisure activity. Treating it as a source of income is dangerous. There is no guarantee of winning in any game — no one can predict the outcome of a Random Number Generator (RNG) or a live dealer's next move. You should not invest in gaming with the expectation of making a profit.
Play Within Your Means
Never bet money whose loss would disrupt your daily life. Rent, food, your children's education — using funds meant for these essentials is the first step toward a serious problem. bdbook always recommends setting aside a separate gaming budget — money you can afford to lose without it affecting your lifestyle.
Playing With a Healthy Mindset
You should not play while stressed, feeling low, or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair your judgement and increase the likelihood of taking bigger risks. Only game with a clear head and for the purpose of entertainment.
Accept losing as a normal part of the game
Losing is a natural part of gaming. Chasing Losses — placing more bets in an attempt to recover money you've lost — is a dangerous habit. If you've lost a set amount, stop gaming for the rest of the day.
Keep a Healthy Time Balance
Family, friends, work, studies — these areas of life matter more than gaming. If gaming starts to affect these relationships or responsibilities, it's a sign that the balance has been lost.
Bdbook's Responsible Gaming Tools
The bdbook platform offers several tools to help you stay in control of your gaming. They are completely free and can be activated at any time.
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block further deposits. Decreasing your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period.
Loss Limit
Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose within a given period. Once you hit that limit, no further play will be allowed. This is the most effective tool for avoiding "Chasing Losses".
Session Time Limit
Decide in advance how long you want to play in a single session. When the time is up, a break reminder will appear on screen and your session will end automatically. Protect yourself from extended gaming sessions.
Cool-Down Break
Take a temporary break from gaming for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or make deposits. Once the break ends, your account will be reactivated automatically.
Reality Check
At set intervals, a reminder appears on your screen showing a summary of how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. This keeps you aware of the reality of your gaming session.
Self-Exclusion
To stop gaming entirely, activate Self-Exclusion. While it is active, you will be unable to log in, deposit, or play any games. Full details are in the next section.
How to Activate the Tools
In the Account After Logging In Go to "Account Settings" or the "Responsible Gaming" section to activate these tools. You can also make a request by email: [email protected]
Self-Exclusion — The Complete Break Option
Self-Exclusion is bdbook's most powerful responsible gaming tool. Once activated, you can temporarily or permanently disconnect yourself from the platform entirely.
Steps to Activate Self-Exclusion
Make a Decision
Decide how long you want to take a break — 6 months, 1 year, or permanently.
Send a Request by Email
[email protected]Send an email with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request". Please include your account ID and your preferred exclusion duration.
Identity Verification
For security purposes, we will verify that the request is being made by the genuine account holder.
Account Disconnected
Self-Exclusion will take effect immediately. During this period, you will not receive any promotional emails either.
Rejoin After Period Ends
If you wish to reactivate your account after the exclusion period ends, you must submit a separate request — reactivation is not automatic.
Do not attempt to open a new account while Self-Exclusion is active. We will identify and close any such accounts where possible. For severe addiction, please consider permanent Self-Exclusion.
Warning Signs of Gaming Addiction
Gaming addiction doesn't happen overnight — it builds up gradually. Stay alert if you or someone you know shows any of the following signs:
Financial Problems
Spending household money on gaming, taking on debt, or borrowing money from others.
Chasing Losses
Chasing losses by placing increasingly larger bets — this cycle is very hard to break.
Losing Track of Time
Spending far more time gaming than planned and being unable to stop.
Relationship Strain
Arguments with family or friends over gaming, or neglecting responsibilities because of gaming.
Psychological Changes
Feeling irritable, restless, or frustrated when you can't game. Finding it hard to enjoy yourself without gaming.
Tendency to Hide or Conceal
Hiding the extent of your gaming from family, lying about it, or playing in secret.
If you notice one or more of these signs in yourself, contact bdbook right away and consider Self-Exclusion or taking a break. Asking for help isn't a weakness — it takes courage.
Self-Assessment — Check Yourself
Ask yourself the questions below — and answer honestly. No one is watching. If you find yourself saying "yes" to most of them, it may be time to take a closer look at how you manage your gaming.

Gaming Budget Planning
The foundation of healthy gaming habits is a realistic budget. Budgeting isn't about being restrictive — it's about enjoying gaming the smart way.
Rules for Building a Gaming Budget
- Subtract your essential expenses from your monthly income — then spend only a small portion of what remains on gaming.
- Think of your gaming budget as money you are prepared to lose.
- Once your monthly budget is used up, stop gaming for the rest of that month.
- Don't treat winnings as income — that money belongs to your next bet.
- When you hit a big win, withdraw a portion of it — don't put it all back into bets.
- Use bdbook's deposit limit feature — it's the simplest way to keep your spending in check.
Practical Examples
Say your monthly income is ৳25,000. After essential expenses — rent, food, transport, savings — you have ৳3,000 left over. Set aside a maximum of ৳500–৳1,000 of that for gaming. Set your monthly deposit limit at bdbook to ৳500 or ৳1,000 to protect yourself from unintentional overspending.
Never game with credit card debt, loans, or money borrowed from family. It's the fastest route to financial harm.
The Role of Parents in Protecting Minors
Bdbook strictly prevents anyone under 18 from accessing the platform. Beyond technical safeguards, the role of family is equally important.
Advice for Parents
- Use parental control software on your devices.
- Keep your account password out of reach of your children.
- Keep your payment card or mobile banking account secure.
- Pay attention to what your child is doing online.
- Have open, honest conversations with your child about the differences between gaming and gambling, and the risks involved.
Bdbook's Technical Safeguards
- Date of birth is verified at registration — anyone under 18 will be blocked from signing up.
- Age verification through government-issued ID during the KYC process.
- Account investigation upon detection of suspicious activity.
- Immediate account termination upon identification of a minor.

Professional Support
Gaming addiction is a recognised mental health condition. If you feel it is seriously affecting your life, please speak with a mental health professional. In Bangladesh, counselling services are available at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and other hospitals. The support of family is the greatest strength on this journey.
Keep in Mind
Seeking help is not a sign of failure. It takes courage to make the right decision — for yourself and for your family. bdbook always puts your wellbeing above gaming.
What Makes bdbook's Responsible Gaming Program Different
What we do for every player's wellbeing.
Full Support in Bengali
All responsible gaming information, tools, and support are available in Bengali. No Bangladeshi user should ever miss out on important information due to a language barrier.
Flexible Limit Settings
Deposit limits, loss limits, session time — set each one independently to suit your needs. At bdbook, there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
Instant Self-Exclusion
Self-Exclusion is activated as soon as your request is received. Every hour counts — we do not delay.
Judgment-Free Support
Bdbook never judges you for reaching out. Every interaction is handled with complete confidentiality and genuine compassion.
Reality Check Tool
A spending summary is shown during regular breaks in your gaming session. This helps prevent unconscious overspending.
Strict Minor Protection
Age verification via KYC and date-of-birth checks ensures that anyone under 18 is fully excluded. There is absolutely no compromise on minor protection.
Responsible Gaming & Healthy Gaming Lifestyle
Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. With the spread of smartphones and internet access, Live Casino, slots, and Sports Betting are now available from the comfort of home. With that opportunity comes responsibility — for yourself and your family.
Building a culture of responsible gaming on the bdbook platform is one of our core goals. Providing tools alone is not enough — we want every user to be genuinely informed and aware.
The Relationship Between Gaming and Mental Health
There is a deep connection between gaming addiction and mental health. In many cases, people turn to gaming as an escape from depression, loneliness, or stress. While it may offer temporary relief at first, it can gradually become a problem in itself.
If stress or a difficult period is causing you to game more, focus on addressing the root problem. Gaming cannot solve your problems — it only masks them temporarily.
Talk to Your Family About Gaming
If gaming is a regular part of your life, let your family know. Keeping it hidden creates trust issues in relationships. Talking openly with family about your budget, time limits, and reasons for gaming makes it much easier to stay in control.
Why Taking Breaks from Gaming Matters
Taking regular breaks is an important part of responsible gaming. During long sessions, concentration drops, decision-making weakens, and the tendency to take greater risks increases. Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, drink some water, and spend time with your family.
Bdbook's session time limits and reality check tools automatically remind you to take these breaks.
Does Responsible Gaming Take the Fun Out of Playing?
Many people worry that setting limits will take the fun out of gaming. In reality, the opposite is true. When you know your gaming is under control, every session becomes more enjoyable. Playing without financial stress or fear of family consequences is a completely different experience.
Setting limits on bdbook is a smart move. It's not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of maturity.
