Responsible Gaming
at 84bd — Play Smart,
Stay in Control
84bd is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable betting environment for every player across Bangladesh. This page outlines the tools, policies, and support options available to help you keep gambling a fun activity — not a harmful one. If gambling is ever causing you concern, help is always available.
Six Ways 84bd Keeps You Safe
Every feature below is built into the 84bd platform to ensure that gambling remains a form of entertainment — never a source of harm — for players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and beyond.
Strict Age Verification
84bd requires every new player to verify they are aged 18 or above before any betting or gaming activity is permitted. KYC document checks using Bangladesh NID or passport are mandatory at registration.
Flexible Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly in your 84bd account settings. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered — not raised — without a mandatory cooling-off period.
Self-Exclusion Programme
Players who feel they need a break from gambling can request a self-exclusion for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During exclusion, your account is fully suspended and all marketing is halted.
Session Time-Out Controls
Configure automatic session time-outs that log you out after a defined period of activity. Time-out reminders can be set to appear every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or at a custom interval you choose.
Loss Limit Safeguards
In addition to deposit limits, 84bd allows you to set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once the threshold is reached, further bet placement is paused until the limit period resets.
24/7 English Support
Our dedicated English-language support team is available around the clock, Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). Reach us at [email protected] for any responsible gaming concern, account restriction request, or self-exclusion enquiry.
Age Restriction Policy (18+)
84bd operates a strict 18+ only policy across all products — cricket betting, live casino, slots, and all other gaming categories available on the platform. No player under the age of 18 is permitted to register, deposit funds, or participate in any form of gambling on the 84bd platform. This is a non-negotiable rule and applies to all players across Bangladesh, including those in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Cox's Bazar.
At registration, every new 84bd account is required to submit a valid Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or government-issued driving licence as part of the Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. Our verification system cross-checks the submitted document to confirm that the applicant meets the minimum age requirement before the account is activated. Any account found to belong to a player under 18 — at any stage — will be immediately closed, and all associated funds will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
Protecting Young People
84bd strongly encourages all adult account holders who share a device with family members — including children or teenagers — to use device-level parental controls and to keep their 84bd login credentials private. Never share your username or password with a minor. If you believe a person under the age of 18 has accessed the 84bd platform using an adult's account, please contact [email protected] immediately so that the situation can be investigated and the account secured.
Third-party parental control software — such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, or built-in mobile device screen-time controls — can be used to block access to gambling websites on shared devices. 84bd supports the use of all such tools and encourages parents and guardians to implement them proactively.
Recognising Problem Gambling
For the vast majority of 84bd players, gambling is a recreational activity — a way to enjoy BPL cricket betting, live casino games, or slots as a form of entertainment. However, for a small number of people, gambling can become problematic. Recognising the warning signs early is the most effective way to prevent a minor issue from escalating into a serious problem.
Problem gambling does not always look the same. It can develop gradually and may be present even when a player is not spending large sums of money. The key indicator is not how much you are gambling, but how much it is affecting your life, your relationships, and your financial wellbeing.
The following checklist describes common warning signs of problem gambling. If you recognise several of these signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use 84bd's responsible gaming tools or to reach out to our support team for assistance.
- Spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended, and finding it difficult to stop once you have started.
- Chasing losses — returning to gamble shortly after a losing session in an attempt to win back what you have lost.
- Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or daily routines in favour of gambling activity.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using savings intended for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities) to fund gambling.
- Feeling irritable, restless, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
- Concealing the extent of your gambling from family members or close friends, or lying about how much time and money you spend.
- Gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult personal circumstances.
- If none of the above apply to you, and gambling remains a controlled, budget-limited leisure activity — that is a healthy relationship with gambling.
Responsible Gaming Tools at 84bd
84bd has built a suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform. These tools are available to every registered player at no cost and can be activated or adjusted at any time from your account settings or by contacting our support team. The tools below are designed to give you control over your gambling activity without requiring you to close your account.
Deposit Limits
Cap the total amount you can deposit over any 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day window. Reductions apply instantly; increases require a 7-day cooling-off period.
Loss Limits
Define a maximum net loss across daily, weekly, or monthly periods. When the threshold is reached, bet placement is suspended until the period resets.
Session Limits
Set a maximum session duration. When your session time expires, you are automatically logged out and shown a responsible gaming reminder before you can log back in.
Self-Exclusion
Request a temporary or permanent exclusion from all 84bd gambling activity. During exclusion, login is blocked and all promotional communications are stopped.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days without formally self-excluding. During a cool-off, your account is suspended but can be reopened after the period ends.
Marketing Opt-Out
Withdraw consent for all promotional communications — bonus alerts, BPL betting tips, seasonal offers — at any time without affecting your ability to use the platform.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing in your current session, helping you stay aware of time spent on the platform.
Account History
Review a complete, transparent record of all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and session durations from within your account. Full visibility supports informed decision-making.
Deposit & Loss Limits
One of the most effective responsible gaming tools available on the 84bd platform is the ability to set hard limits on your deposits and losses. These limits are designed to help you stay within a budget that you have determined in advance — before the excitement of a BPL match or live casino session tempts you to spend more than is comfortable.
How Deposit Limits Work
A deposit limit caps the total value of deposits you can make into your 84bd account over a defined time window. You may choose from three limit periods:
- Daily limit: maximum total deposits within any rolling 24-hour period.
- Weekly limit: maximum total deposits within any rolling 7-day period.
- Monthly limit: maximum total deposits within any rolling 30-day period.
Deposit limits can be set in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) and are applied across all payment methods — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard — so there is no way to circumvent a limit by switching payment channels. Once a limit is set, any deposit attempt that would cause your total to exceed the cap is automatically declined.
Reducing vs. Increasing Limits
Reductions take effect immediately and without any waiting period. If you decide mid-session that you want to lower your daily limit from ৳5,000 to ৳2,000, that change is applied the moment you confirm it. Increases, on the other hand, are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before they come into force. This deliberate friction is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider a limit increase and prevents impulse decisions made during a losing streak from leading to larger losses.
How Loss Limits Work
A loss limit defines the maximum net loss you are willing to accept over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Unlike a deposit limit, which counts money deposited, a loss limit tracks your net gambling outcome — total stakes minus total winnings. When your net loss reaches the threshold you have set, 84bd will automatically suspend your ability to place further bets until the limit period resets, regardless of your remaining account balance.
Self-Exclusion Programme
84bd's self-exclusion programme is available to any player who feels that they need a sustained break from gambling. Self-exclusion is a serious, formal tool — unlike a cool-off period, a self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen exclusion period has expired. This intentional restriction is there to protect you during a vulnerable period and to give your responsible gaming commitments real teeth.
Self-exclusion at 84bd is straightforward to request and is handled with complete discretion. Once a self-exclusion is confirmed, the following actions are taken immediately:
- Your 84bd account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets.
- All pending bonus offers are cancelled and any active promotional subscriptions are removed.
- All marketing communications — including BPL betting alerts, bonus emails, and seasonal promotions — are stopped with immediate effect.
- Your account remains suspended for the full duration of the exclusion period, even if you contact support to request early reinstatement.
Available Exclusion Periods
84bd offers the following self-exclusion durations:
- 1 month — suitable for a short-term break or cooling-off from a difficult period.
- 3 months — recommended for players who have noticed early warning signs of problem gambling.
- 6 months — a meaningful mid-term break that allows time for reflection and habit change.
- 1 year — a long-term exclusion for players who need extended distance from gambling activity.
- Permanent exclusion — a lifetime ban from the 84bd platform. This cannot be reversed. Account data is retained as required by law but no re-registration is permitted.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
To request a self-exclusion from 84bd, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and specify your preferred exclusion duration. Our support team operates 24/7 and will action your request as a priority — typically within a few hours of receipt. You do not need to provide a reason for requesting self-exclusion, and your request will be handled with sensitivity and without judgement.
-
1
Email Our Support Team
Send a self-exclusion request to [email protected]. Include your registered mobile number or username and your chosen exclusion period in the message.
-
2
Identity Confirmation
Our team may ask you to confirm your identity to ensure the exclusion is applied to the correct account. This step protects against accidental or malicious exclusion requests.
-
3
Immediate Account Suspension
Once confirmed, your account is suspended immediately. You will receive an email confirming the exclusion start date, end date (or permanent status), and a reminder of the support resources available to you.
-
4
Exclusion Period Runs Its Course
Your account remains suspended for the full exclusion period. 84bd will not contact you with marketing or bonus offers during this time. Requests to lift the exclusion early will not be honoured.
-
5
Account Reinstatement (If Applicable)
For temporary exclusions, reinstatement is available once the exclusion period has fully elapsed. You will be required to reconfirm your identity and acknowledge updated responsible gaming terms before your account is reactivated.
Session Time-Out Features
Time-out features on the 84bd platform are designed to interrupt prolonged gambling sessions and ensure that you stay aware of how long you have been playing. Research consistently shows that players who lose track of time during gambling sessions are more likely to exceed their intended budgets and to make impulsive betting decisions. 84bd's time-out tools are a practical antidote to this effect.
Session Duration Alerts
You can configure 84bd to display an on-screen reality check notification at regular intervals during your session. Available intervals include every 30 minutes, every 60 minutes, or every 2 hours. When a reality check fires, the screen displays:
- How long you have been active in the current session.
- Your net profit or loss during that session.
- A prompt to continue playing, set a new time limit, or log out.
Reality checks cannot be dismissed without acknowledging their content — you must make an active choice to continue or to stop. This is intentional: the goal is to restore your awareness at a moment when it is easy to lose track of time, especially during a close BPL match or a live casino table session.
Automatic Session Logout
For stronger time control, you can set a hard session limit — a maximum duration after which you are automatically logged out of the 84bd platform regardless of ongoing activity. Available session limits range from 30 minutes to 4 hours. After automatic logout, a 15-minute cool-down is applied before re-login is possible, giving you time to step away from the screen and reassess.
Cool-Off Period
A cool-off period is a shorter, less formal alternative to self-exclusion. If you feel you need a brief break — perhaps after a frustrating loss or a longer-than-planned session — you can request a cool-off of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During a cool-off, your account is suspended and all marketing communications are paused. Unlike self-exclusion, a cool-off period ends automatically at the expiry time, and you are free to log back in without needing to contact support.
Getting Help & Support
If you feel that gambling is no longer a form of entertainment and is instead causing stress, financial difficulty, or harm to your relationships, 84bd encourages you to reach out for support. You do not need to be in a crisis to ask for help — any point at which gambling feels less than fully enjoyable is a valid moment to talk to someone.
Contacting 84bd Support
The 84bd support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). Our team can assist you with:
- Setting or adjusting deposit, loss, or session limits on your account.
- Requesting a cool-off period or formal self-exclusion.
- Reviewing your account activity history to help you understand your gambling patterns.
- Providing information about external responsible gaming organisations and helplines.
- Escalating urgent welfare concerns to a senior responsible gaming officer.
To contact our responsible gaming team, email [email protected] with "Responsible Gaming" in the subject line. All responsible gaming enquiries are treated as high priority and handled with complete confidentiality by trained staff.
Bangladesh-Based Support Resources
While 84bd's internal support team can help you manage your account and activate protective tools, players who are experiencing significant harm from problem gambling may also benefit from speaking with a professional counsellor or psychologist. In Bangladesh, mental health and behavioural addiction support is available through a growing number of private clinics and NGO-run programmes in Dhaka, Chittagong, and other major cities.
We encourage any player who believes they may have a gambling problem to speak openly with a trusted person in their life — a family member, close friend, or healthcare professional. Early conversations make a significant difference to outcomes. There is no shame in acknowledging that gambling has become more than a pastime.
For Family Members and Friends
If you are concerned about the gambling behaviour of someone close to you, you can contact the 84bd support team to discuss the situation. While 84bd cannot take action on another person's account without their consent (for data protection reasons), our team can provide guidance on how to approach a conversation with someone you are worried about, and can advise on the resources available in Bangladesh. Supporting a loved one through a gambling problem is challenging — you deserve support too.

Our Commitments to Players
Responsible gaming is not a box-ticking exercise at 84bd — it is a core part of how we operate and how we think about our relationship with every player across Bangladesh. The following commitments represent the standards we hold ourselves to, and which every 84bd player can expect to be upheld consistently.
We Will Never Target Vulnerable Players
84bd does not direct bonus offers, promotional campaigns, or marketing communications at players who have self-excluded, requested a cool-off period, or flagged a responsible gaming concern. Our marketing systems are configured to suppress all communications to players on our vulnerable player register, and this suppression is applied immediately upon any responsible gaming flag being raised on an account.
We Will Be Transparent About Odds and Outcomes
84bd presents betting odds and game return-to-player (RTP) figures openly and accurately. We do not manipulate displayed odds after a bet is placed, and all game outcomes are determined by certified random number generators. Players are entitled to request a review of any disputed outcome by contacting our support team.
We Will Act Promptly on Responsible Gaming Requests
Any request relating to responsible gaming — whether it is a limit adjustment, a cool-off, or a self-exclusion — is treated as a priority by the 84bd support team. We commit to actioning all responsible gaming requests within a few hours of receipt, and to acknowledging urgent suspension requests immediately upon receipt, at any hour of the day.
We Will Continuously Improve Our Safeguards
84bd reviews its responsible gaming policies, tools, and staff training on a regular basis. As best practices in the industry evolve, so will our approach. We are committed to maintaining a platform that reflects the highest standards of player protection available, and to updating this Responsible Gaming page whenever meaningful changes are made to our safeguards or policies.
We Remind You: Gambling Should Be Fun
The 84bd platform is built for entertainment. Whether you enjoy placing BPL cricket bets, spinning slots, or joining a live casino table, the experience should be enjoyable, within your means, and free from stress. If it ever stops being that, our tools and our team are here to help you get back to a healthy relationship with gambling — or to step away from it entirely if that is the right choice for you. Play smart. Stay in control. Enjoy 84bd responsibly.
Play Responsibly. Enjoy Every Moment.
84bd is here to provide a safe, fair, and exciting betting experience for players across Bangladesh. Explore our games with confidence — knowing that our responsible gaming tools are always available to keep you in control.
