Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
hbaji believes that safe gambling is good gambling. From the moment you register, we embed responsible gaming principles into every aspect of the platform — from the way accounts are verified to the tools available in your settings panel. Our goal is simple: to ensure that every player on hbaji enjoys the experience within their means and within their limits.
Bangladesh has a passionate gaming community — cricket betting, live casino, and slot games attract millions of enthusiastic players. hbaji is proud to serve that community, and with that comes a responsibility we take seriously. Problem gambling, when it occurs, affects not just the individual player but their family, their finances, and their overall wellbeing. We are committed to being a platform that acts early, acts fairly, and treats every player as a person first.
This page explains every responsible gaming tool available on hbaji, the signs that gambling may be becoming a problem, how to use each protective feature, and how to reach our support team if you or someone close to you needs help. We encourage every player to read this page carefully — understanding these tools before you need them is always better than searching for help in a moment of crisis.
21+ Age Restriction
hbaji operates an absolute minimum age requirement of 21 years. This is a firm rule with no exceptions. Players must be at least 21 years of age at the time of registration and must remain eligible throughout the lifetime of their account. We collect date of birth at registration and verify it as part of the KYC process. Where there is any doubt about a player's age, the account will be suspended immediately pending full age verification.
If a player is found to have misrepresented their age at registration, hbaji will close the account immediately, void any winnings generated during the period of underage play, and return the deposited principal to the payment method used. hbaji takes underage gambling seriously and cooperates fully with any relevant investigation.
Parental Responsibility
If you share a device with younger family members, please ensure your hbaji account is protected by a strong, unique password and that you log out after every session. Do not leave your account open and unattended on any device accessible to a minor. Consider using device-level parental control software to further restrict access to gambling platforms.
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping your gambling within a pre-planned budget. hbaji allows every player to set a cap on the total amount they can deposit within a given time window. This empowers you to define your gambling budget before you play, not after. Limits can be configured for the following periods:
- Daily deposit limit: the maximum amount you can deposit within any 24-hour rolling period. Ideal for players who wish to manage their spending on a day-by-day basis.
- Weekly deposit limit: the maximum amount you can deposit within any rolling 7-day period. Useful for players who prefer to budget on a weekly basis rather than tracking each session individually.
- Monthly deposit limit: the maximum amount you can deposit within any rolling 30-day period. The broadest limit type, ideal for players who want a monthly gambling budget that aligns with their income cycle.
- Limit reductions take effect immediately once confirmed. Limit increases, however, are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period before taking effect, giving you time to reconsider before a higher limit is applied.
To set or adjust your deposit limits, log in to your hbaji account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. If you require assistance, contact our support team at [email protected].
Session Time Controls and Reminders
It is easy to lose track of time when you are engaged in a game you enjoy — particularly during live casino sessions or in the middle of a cricket betting run. hbaji's session time controls are designed to break that pattern. You can configure the following session-related tools from your account:
- Session duration reminders: set a maximum play time after which hbaji will display an on-screen notification reminding you how long you have been playing. You can choose intervals of 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom duration.
- Reality check pop-ups: at the interval you set, a pop-up will display your net session result (winnings minus deposits for that session). This gives you a clear, honest picture of your session performance before you decide whether to continue.
- Mandatory break: configure an automatic session end after a set duration. The platform will log you out after the session time you specify, requiring you to actively log back in if you wish to continue — introducing a natural pause that supports better decision-making.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on hbaji. If you feel that gambling is no longer under your control — even temporarily — self-exclusion allows you to block access to your account entirely. hbaji offers two forms of self-exclusion:
- Temporary self-exclusion: available for periods of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. During this period your account is suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bet or game wager. The exclusion cannot be lifted before the chosen period expires.
- Permanent self-exclusion: if you wish to close your account on a permanent basis, hbaji will action this request without delay. Permanent exclusion is irreversible. Any balance remaining at the time of permanent exclusion will be processed for return to your registered payment method after the relevant checks are completed.
- During self-exclusion, hbaji will make all reasonable efforts to ensure you do not receive marketing communications or promotional bonus offers. If you continue to receive communications after requesting exclusion, please notify us immediately at [email protected].
- To initiate self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered account email address and the type of exclusion (temporary or permanent) you are requesting. We will confirm the exclusion within 24 hours Bangladesh Standard Time.
Self-exclusion is a serious step and hbaji processes every request with the urgency it deserves. We strongly encourage any player who is concerned about their gambling behaviour to use this tool without hesitation — it is there precisely for moments like this.
Cooling-Off and Time-Out
A cooling-off period is a shorter alternative to full self-exclusion, designed for players who want a brief pause rather than a full suspension. hbaji offers cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period your account remains in existence but is inaccessible for deposits or wagering. The cooling-off cannot be cancelled before its end date.
A cooling-off is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of self-awareness. Taking a short break when you feel your play is escalating is one of the healthiest things a gambler can do. If after the cooling-off period ends you still feel uncertain, we encourage you to either extend the cooling-off or proceed to a full self-exclusion request.
Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. It often begins subtly — a few extra sessions here, a slightly larger deposit there — before escalating into something that genuinely disrupts daily life. The following signs may indicate that gambling is becoming a problem. If you recognise any of these in yourself or someone you know, please seek help promptly:
- !Spending more money on gambling than originally planned, or chasing losses by placing increasingly large bets to try to recover money already lost.
- !Gambling with money set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, bills, or family needs — using funds you cannot afford to lose.
- !Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling.
- !Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the amount of time or money spent on gambling, or feeling the need to keep your gambling activity secret.
- !Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking loans specifically to fund gambling activity, or failing to repay gambling-related debts on time.
- !Gambling as a way of escaping personal problems, relieving stress, anxiety, or depression — using play as an emotional coping mechanism rather than genuine entertainment.
- !Neglecting work, study, family, or personal health responsibilities in order to spend more time gambling, or gambling interfering with important relationships or commitments.
Recognising these signs is the first and most important step. If any of these apply to you, please reach out to our support team without delay. You can also speak to a trusted family member or friend. Seeking help early makes recovery significantly easier.
Protecting Younger Family Members
hbaji takes its responsibility toward younger people seriously. No person under the age of 21 should ever access or use the hbaji platform. If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a younger family member may have accessed a gambling platform, take the following steps: check your device's browser history, review any mobile banking (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) transaction alerts for unexplained outgoing transfers, and consider installing a reputable parental control application on shared devices.
If you have any reason to believe that a minor has registered or placed bets on hbaji using falsified details, contact [email protected] immediately. We will investigate and act swiftly. Protecting young people from gambling harm is a shared responsibility between hbaji and the adults in a young person's life.
Account History and Reality Checks
Every player on hbaji has access to a complete account history showing deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, games played, and net result by session or time period. This transparency is intentional — knowing exactly how much you have spent and won over time is a vital part of responsible gambling. We encourage all players to review their account history at least once a month, and more frequently if they are playing regularly.
If you notice that your spending has been consistently higher than you intended, or that your net result over a period is significantly negative, treat this as useful information rather than a reason to chase further losses. This is exactly the kind of pattern the responsible gaming tools on hbaji are designed to help you address.
Gambling as Entertainment — Not Income
One of the most important principles of responsible gaming is understanding the true nature of gambling: it is a form of entertainment with a built-in house edge, not a reliable method of generating income. No betting strategy, no matter how disciplined, eliminates the long-term mathematical advantage held by the platform. Players who approach hbaji as entertainment — setting a budget and treating any winnings as a bonus rather than an expectation — consistently report a more enjoyable and sustainable experience. The following principles help maintain that healthy perspective:
- Set a budget before you start, not during play. Decide on a maximum amount you are comfortable losing before your session begins, and commit to stopping when that amount is reached.
- Never chase losses. If you have reached your session budget, log out. A loss chasing mindset is the single biggest driver of problem gambling escalation.
- Treat winnings as a bonus. Never factor expected winnings into your financial planning. Winnings are unpredictable by design. Any money won is a pleasant surprise, not a salary.
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen during long sessions. A five-minute break resets your perspective and prevents the kind of tunnel vision that leads to poor in-session decisions.
- Only gamble when you are in a positive state of mind. Avoid playing when you are tired, stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional state has a measurable effect on decision quality during gambling.
