Responsible Gaming at
4bdt Bangladesh

01 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

4bdt was built with a clear understanding that online gaming — while entertaining for the vast majority of players — carries a real risk of harm for a minority. Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or experience. The 4bdt platform therefore integrates responsible gaming not as a tick-box compliance obligation, but as a genuine operational priority that shapes product decisions, customer support protocols, and marketing practices.

Every 4bdt player in Bangladesh has access to a comprehensive suite of protective tools, all available free of charge and reachable directly through the account dashboard without needing to contact support first. These tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion — are designed to put control firmly in the hands of the player.

4bdt also trains its customer support team to recognise indicators of distress or problem gambling and to respond with empathy, directing affected players to the appropriate resources without judgment. We are committed to the principle that your wellbeing matters more than any single wager placed on this platform.

02 Age Restriction — 18+ Only

The 4bdt platform is strictly intended for adults aged 18 years and above. This is a non-negotiable requirement, and 4bdt takes active steps to enforce it at every stage of the player journey — from registration through to ongoing account monitoring.

• All new players must declare their date of birth during registration. Providing a false date of birth is a breach of the Terms & Conditions and will result in immediate account closure and forfeiture of any funds derived from activity conducted while underage.
• 4bdt reserves the right to request a government-issued photo ID (National ID card, passport, or driving licence) at any point to verify age. Accounts that fail verification are suspended pending resolution.
• Deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay are linked to registered mobile accounts, which themselves require age verification under Bangladesh telecoms regulations — providing an additional layer of age assurance.
• 4bdt does not direct any marketing communications towards individuals who have not confirmed they are 18 years of age or older.

If you share a device with younger family members, 4bdt strongly recommends using device-level parental controls and ensuring that your 4bdt account is always logged out when not in use. Never share your login credentials with anyone. If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact support immediately at [email protected].

03 Recognising Signs of Problem Gambling

Most people who gamble do so for entertainment, betting only what they can comfortably afford to lose. However, for some individuals, gambling can begin to take on a compulsive character — escalating from leisure to a behaviour that causes genuine harm to their finances, relationships, mental health, and daily functioning. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help.

If you recognise any of the above signs in your own behaviour — even just one or two — we encourage you to act early rather than waiting until the situation becomes severe. Contact the 4bdt responsible gaming team or use one of the self-help tools described in the sections below. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

04 Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available to a player who feels that their gambling is getting out of control. When you self-exclude, your 4bdt account is fully deactivated for the duration you choose. You will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits during the exclusion period, and all promotional communications from 4bdt will cease immediately.

05 Deposit & Spending Limits

Setting financial limits is one of the most effective ways to ensure that gambling remains within your personal entertainment budget. 4bdt provides a full suite of limit options that you can configure yourself, without needing to contact customer support. All limits apply immediately once set.

• Daily deposit limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay in any rolling 24-hour period. Once the limit is reached, all deposit attempts will be declined until the period resets.
• Weekly deposit limit: Aggregate deposit cap across a rolling 7-day window. Useful if your spending pattern tends to vary significantly between days of the week.
• Monthly deposit limit: A broader cap across a rolling 30-day period, aligned with typical monthly budget cycles. Recommended for players who prefer to set an overall monthly entertainment budget.
• Loss limit (daily / weekly / monthly): Separate from deposit limits, loss limits cap the total amount you can lose over a given period. Once your cumulative losses reach the threshold, your session is paused until the limit window resets.
• Wager limit: A cap on the maximum stake per individual bet or game round. Particularly useful for fast-paced games such as slots, crash games, and live casino tables where bet sizes can escalate quickly.

• Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately.
• Increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the higher limit becomes active. This delay is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider if the request was made impulsively during a gaming session.
• You may decrease a limit as many times as you wish with no cooling-off delay.
• Limits are applied across all payment methods simultaneously — you cannot work around a deposit limit by switching from bKash to Nagad, for example.

06 Time-Out & Reality Checks

Sometimes you do not need a full self-exclusion — you simply need a short break to reset. 4bdt offers two lightweight tools designed for exactly this situation: the time-out feature and the reality check reminder.

A time-out is a short-term voluntary suspension of your account. Unlike self-exclusion, a time-out is intended as a brief cooling-off measure rather than a long-term intervention. Available time-out durations at 4bdt are:

• 24-hour time-out: Your account is locked for one full day. Useful if you feel you have played too much in a single session and want a hard stop.
• 7-day time-out: A one-week break from the platform. Recommended if you have had a significant losing run and feel your decision-making is being affected by emotion.
• 30-day time-out: A month-long pause. Suitable if you feel gambling is starting to take up too much of your time or mental energy, but you are not ready for a longer exclusion.

During a time-out, your account is locked and no marketing emails or promotional SMS messages will be sent to you. At the end of the time-out period, your account automatically becomes accessible again — no action is required to reinstate it, though you may choose to extend the time-out if you wish.

The reality check is a session-duration notification that prompts you at regular intervals — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — with a brief on-screen alert. The alert displays:

• How long your current session has lasted
• Your net win or loss for the session so far
• An option to continue playing or end your session immediately

Reality checks are particularly effective for fast-paced games where time can pass unnoticed. Research consistently shows that players who use session reminders spend less time in any single sitting and report higher levels of satisfaction with their gaming experience overall. You can configure your preferred reminder interval in your account settings at any time.

07 Support Resources

If you believe your gambling behaviour is causing harm to yourself or someone you care about, reaching out for help is the right move — and 4bdt makes it as straightforward as possible. Our responsible gaming support team operates around the clock, every day of the year, including during Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and all national public holidays in Bangladesh.

• Email [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming" — responses within 24 hours Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).
• Use the live chat feature inside your account dashboard for real-time assistance during active sessions.
• All responsible gaming conversations are handled with complete confidentiality by trained team members. Your account status will not be negatively affected by reaching out.

• Setting or adjusting deposit, loss, or wager limits on your behalf
• Activating a time-out or self-exclusion immediately
• Providing a statement of your account activity (total deposits, withdrawals, and net wins/losses over a defined period) to help you assess your gambling spend objectively
• Answering questions about any of the responsible gaming tools described on this page
• Signposting you to external professional support organisations if your situation requires it

If you are worried about a family member's gambling, you can contact 4bdt support on their behalf. While we cannot share account-specific information about another person without their consent, we can provide general guidance on the responsible gaming tools available and advise on how to approach a conversation with a loved one about problem gambling. You do not need to be a registered 4bdt player to contact our support team for this type of guidance.
