From deposit limits and time-out features to full self-exclusion, we put your wellbeing above everything else.

Playing Smart Starts Here

At bg398, responsible gaming is not a footnote in our terms — it is a core pillar of how we operate. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent environment for all registered players across Bangladesh, whether they enjoy cricket betting on BPL and IPL markets, spinning slots, or exploring live casino tables.

Gambling can be an enjoyable leisure activity when approached with a clear head, a set budget, and defined time limits. Problems arise when gambling ceases to be entertainment and starts to feel like an obligation, a solution to financial difficulty, or an emotional escape. bg398 has built a comprehensive suite of player-protection tools specifically to help you notice and address these patterns before they escalate.

All accounts on bg398 are strictly for adults aged 21 and above. If at any point you feel that gambling is no longer fun — or if someone close to you expresses concern — we strongly encourage you to use the tools described on this page or contact our support team directly at [email protected]. You will never be judged; you will only be helped.

Key Reminder

Gambling should never be used as a way to earn income, recover previous losses, or escape personal problems. Each bet is an independent event — past results have no bearing on future outcomes.

If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work, or mental health, please reach out to our support team or use the self-exclusion tool available in your bg398 account settings.

bg398 Responsible Gaming Features

Every tool listed below is available directly in your bg398 account settings. No paperwork, no waiting — just immediate control over your play.

💰
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount for any rolling 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day period, denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for at least 7 days — a built-in cooling window that gives you time to reflect before raising your budget.

📉
Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a defined period. bg398 will monitor your net loss in real time and automatically restrict further betting activity once your limit is reached — preventing impulsive decisions in the heat of a losing streak on cricket or slot sessions.

⏱️
Session Time Limits

Choose a maximum session duration — ranging from 30 minutes to 8 hours. bg398 will display an on-screen reminder when you approach your limit and will automatically log you out when the session expires. This tool is particularly useful for evening cricket betting sessions that can run long into the night.

🔔
Reality Check Alerts

Enable periodic on-screen notifications — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — that display a clear summary of how long you have been playing, how much you have deposited in the session, and your current net position in ৳. This feature helps maintain perspective during extended play sessions.

❄️
Cooling-Off Periods

If you feel you need a break from betting but are not ready for full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period allows you to pause your account for 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, or up to 6 weeks. During the pause, your account is locked for all betting and deposit activity, with no promotional communications sent.

🚫
Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most serious tool available and is recommended when gambling has become a problem. You may request exclusion for a minimum of 6 months or on a permanent basis. During self-exclusion, your account is fully blocked, all marketing is suppressed, and you will not be permitted to re-register until the exclusion period has expired and a formal reactivation review is completed.


How to Activate Your Safe Play Tools

Setting up any responsible gaming tool on bg398 takes less than two minutes. Follow these steps from within your account.

Access the bg398 platform via any supported browser on your mobile or desktop device. Enter your registered mobile number and password to reach your account dashboard.

02
Open Account Settings

Navigate to the account settings menu, typically accessible via your profile icon in the top-right corner. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Safe Play" section within settings.

03
Select Your Tool

Choose from deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, reality check alerts, cooling-off period, or self-exclusion. Each tool has a clear description and configurable options.

04
Confirm and Activate

Set your preferred values — a ৳ amount, a time duration, or an exclusion period — and confirm your choice. Restrictions take effect immediately. Contact [email protected] if you need help at any step.


Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, background, or experience with betting. It often develops gradually, making it difficult to notice until significant harm has already occurred. bg398 encourages all players to regularly reflect on their gambling habits by considering the warning signs listed here.

If you recognise three or more of these signs in yourself — or if someone who cares about you has raised concerns — we strongly encourage you to use the responsible gaming tools available on bg398 or contact our support team for confidential assistance.

01
Chasing Losses: Continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money already lost in earlier sessions, often with increasingly larger stakes and a sense of urgency that overrides rational judgement.
02
Betting Beyond Your Means: Wagering money that is allocated for essential expenses — rent, utility bills, groceries, or family obligations — or borrowing money specifically to fund gambling activity.
03
Inability to Stop: Attempting to cut down or stop gambling but repeatedly failing to do so, or feeling restless and irritable when trying to reduce your betting activity.
04
Gambling to Escape: Using betting as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or difficulties at work or home — treating gambling as emotional relief rather than entertainment.
05
Concealing Gambling Activity: Hiding the amount of money spent on betting or the time spent gambling from family members, friends, or partners — or feeling the need to lie about it when asked.
06
Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work deadlines, neglecting family or social commitments, or withdrawing from activities you previously enjoyed because of time or money spent on gambling.
07
Preoccupation with Gambling: Spending large portions of your day thinking about upcoming bets, replaying past sessions, planning betting strategies, or researching odds even when not actively on the platform.

21+

Strict 21+ Age Requirement

bg398 is an adults-only platform. Access to all betting, casino, and gaming products is strictly restricted to individuals who are aged 21 years or older at the time of registration. This age threshold reflects our commitment to protecting young people from the potential harms associated with gambling, and applies to all players in Bangladesh without exception.

All new accounts are subject to age and identity verification as part of the KYC process. bg398 reserves the right to request identity documents at any stage of the account lifecycle — at registration, before processing a withdrawal, or during a routine compliance review. Accounts where age or identity cannot be verified will be suspended until documentation is provided.

If you are aware of a minor accessing or attempting to access the bg398 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We take underage gambling prevention extremely seriously and will act on every report without delay. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use device-level parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites where minors share devices.


Responsible Gaming FAQs

Answers to the most common questions about our safe play tools, self-exclusion process, and how to get help if gambling is becoming a concern.

Log in to your bg398 account and navigate to Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Select your preferred period (daily, weekly, or monthly), enter your maximum deposit amount in Bangladeshi Taka (৳), and confirm. The limit applies immediately. Any request to increase a deposit limit is subject to a minimum 7-day review period.

A cooling-off period is a short-term voluntary pause (1 day to 6 weeks) intended for players who want a brief break. Your account is suspended temporarily and automatically reactivates when the period ends. Self-exclusion is a longer, more serious measure (minimum 6 months, with a permanent option) for players who feel gambling is a significant problem. Self-exclusion requires a formal reactivation request after the exclusion period ends and includes additional safeguard checks before access is restored.

No. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen exclusion period — this is by design. The inability to immediately reverse it is the feature's most important protective element. Once the minimum exclusion period has expired, you may submit a reactivation request to [email protected]. The request will be reviewed by our responsible gaming team, which may include a brief consultation before access is restored.

Yes. bg398's responsible gaming team monitors accounts for indicators of potential problem gambling — such as rapid increases in deposit frequency, large loss events followed by immediate re-depositing, or patterns consistent with chasing losses. If these indicators are detected, a member of the team may reach out proactively to check in and remind you of the available safe play tools. This outreach is always supportive and confidential.

Any remaining balance in your bg398 account at the time of self-exclusion will be held securely and returned to your registered bKash, Nagad, or Rocket wallet following standard withdrawal verification procedures. You do not lose your balance by self-excluding. Any pending bets placed before the exclusion was applied will be settled normally; winnings will be credited to your balance and then returned to your payment method.

bg398 understands that problem gambling affects not just the individual but also those around them. If you are concerned about a family member, we recommend having an open, non-confrontational conversation about your concerns and encouraging them to speak with our support team. You may also contact [email protected] on their behalf to ask for general guidance on how to approach the situation. For device-level restrictions, consider installing parental control software to limit access to gambling websites on shared household devices.

Reach Our Responsible Gaming Team

If you feel that gambling is no longer enjoyable and is starting to cause harm — financially, emotionally, or socially — please do not hesitate to contact the bg398 responsible gaming team. All communications are treated with complete confidentiality. You will never be judged or pressured; our only concern is your wellbeing.

Our support team is available around the clock, 365 days a year — including during major cricket seasons such as the BPL, IPL, and ICC T20 World Cup, when betting volumes and the risk of impulsive decisions tend to be highest.
