Our Commitment

Playing at hbsje Should Always Be Fun

hbsje operates as an entertainment platform for players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and beyond. We take our responsibility to players seriously. Gambling can be an enjoyable and exciting activity, but we recognise that for a small number of people it can become problematic. Our Responsible Gaming programme exists to prevent harm before it occurs and to provide meaningful support when it is needed.

Every feature of hbsje — from live cricket betting during BPL and IPL seasons to slots and live casino — is designed to be used in moderation, within personal financial limits, and strictly by adults aged 18 and above. We do not encourage players to spend beyond their means, and we will never market to individuals who have set a self-exclusion on their account.

The tools and guidance on this page are available to all registered hbsje players free of charge and without restriction. Using them will not affect your ability to continue enjoying the platform once any cooling-off period you have chosen has ended — your account history, balance, and preferences will all be preserved.

Player First

Your wellbeing takes priority over platform revenue, always.

Spend Controls

Set your own BDT deposit and loss limits at any time.

Time Controls

Take a break from hours to months with one click.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently close your account if you need a full break.

All responsible gaming tools described on this page are available free of charge to every registered hbsje player. To access them, log in to your account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, or contact our support team directly at [email protected].

Age Restriction

18+ Age Restriction & Verification

hbsje strictly prohibits the use of its platform by anyone under the age of 18. This is a non-negotiable condition of registration and continued access. All new accounts are subject to age verification as part of our standard KYC (Know Your Customer) process, which requires the submission of a valid government-issued ID — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport — before deposits and withdrawals can be processed.

If we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a registered player is under 18 years of age, hbsje will immediately suspend that account pending verification. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be returned, and no winnings generated during the period of underage access will be paid out. The account will be permanently closed.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians in Bangladesh to use internet filtering and parental control tools to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. If you believe a minor has created an hbsje account, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Age Verification Process

Every new hbsje account goes through the following age checks before full access is granted:

1

Date of Birth Declaration

You confirm your date of birth during the initial registration form. You must be 18 or older to proceed.

2

Document Submission

Upload a clear copy of your National ID Card, passport, or birth certificate through the secure KYC portal.

3

Manual Review

Our compliance team reviews submitted documents, typically within 24 hours during business days.

4

Account Unlocked

Once verified, your account is fully active. Deposits and withdrawals via bKash, Nagad, and other BDT methods are enabled.

Self-Exclusion

Self-Exclusion Options

If you feel that gambling is no longer something you can enjoy safely, hbsje offers a formal self-exclusion programme that will block your access to the platform for a defined period or permanently. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment — once activated, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires, even if you contact our support team requesting early reinstatement.

During a self-exclusion period, hbsje will take the following steps to protect you: your account will be deactivated and you will not be able to log in; any pending bonuses or free spins will be forfeited; you will be removed from all marketing lists immediately; and any remaining balance will be processed for withdrawal to your verified BDT payment method within 5 business days.

30-Day Break

Step away from the platform for one full month. Your account is frozen and reactivates automatically after 30 days.

3-Month Exclusion

A longer cooling-off period for players who need more time to reassess their relationship with gambling.

6-Month Exclusion

Six months away from hbsje — sufficient time to establish new routines and seek professional support if needed.

Permanent Closure

Request a permanent account closure. This cannot be reversed. Your data will be retained as required by law.

Self-exclusion at hbsje applies only to your hbsje account. If you are experiencing problem gambling, we strongly encourage you to also contact other gambling platforms you use and request self-exclusion from those services as well. A comprehensive exclusion across all platforms is the most effective approach.

Spend Controls

Deposit & Spending Limits

Setting a deposit limit is one of the most practical tools available to hbsje players who want to keep their gambling within a defined budget. Limits are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT) and apply to all payment methods — including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, Visa, and Mastercard.

Deposit limits can be set for daily, weekly, or monthly periods through the Responsible Gaming section of your account. A limit increase takes 7 days to come into effect (cooling-off period), while a limit reduction is applied immediately to ensure your protection is never delayed.

Limit Type How It Works Takes Effect How to Set
Daily Deposit Limit Caps the total amount (in BDT) you can deposit across all payment methods within a rolling 24-hour window Immediately when reducing; 7-day delay when increasing Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits
Weekly Deposit Limit Caps total deposits over a rolling 7-day period. Resets at midnight BST every Monday Immediately when reducing; 7-day delay when increasing Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits
Monthly Deposit Limit Caps total deposits over a rolling 30-day calendar month Immediately when reducing; 7-day delay when increasing Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits
Loss Limit Caps your net losses (deposits minus withdrawals) within a defined period; prevents further play once the limit is reached Immediately when reducing; 7-day delay when increasing Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Loss Limits
Single Session Limit Sets a maximum amount you can stake within a single login session before a mandatory break is triggered Immediately Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Session Limits
If you reach your deposit or loss limit, hbsje will display a clear notification and prevent further deposits until the limit period resets or you have waited out the mandatory 7-day cooling-off period for a limit increase. This safeguard cannot be bypassed through customer support. Minimum deposit on hbsje is ৳200 BDT.

Time Controls

Time-Out & Cool-Off Features

Sometimes players need a short break from the platform without committing to a full self-exclusion. hbsje's time-out feature allows you to temporarily suspend your account for periods ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a time-out your account is locked, but it will reactivate automatically once the period ends.

In addition to manual time-outs, hbsje provides an optional Reality Check notification — a reminder that appears on screen at intervals you choose (every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours) to show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in that session. This is particularly useful for extended gaming sessions during cricket tournaments like the BPL or T20 World Cup, where excitement can cause players to lose track of time.

hbsje also supports a Session Time Limit, which automatically logs you out of your account after a period of continuous play that you define. This is separate from the reality check and enforces a mandatory break rather than just displaying a notification.

24-Hour Time-Out

Lock your account for one full day. Useful when you feel the urge to chase a loss or play impulsively after a bad session.

3 to 7-Day Time-Out

A short-week break to re-evaluate your playing habits. Account reactivates automatically — no action needed from you.

2 to 6-Week Time-Out

An extended break for players who feel their habits are trending in the wrong direction but are not yet ready to self-exclude.

Reality Check Reminders

On-screen pop-ups at your chosen interval showing session time elapsed and total amount wagered. Easily dismissed but always visible.

Auto-Logout Session Limit

Set a maximum continuous session duration after which hbsje automatically logs you out and requires a deliberate re-login to continue.

Self-Assessment

Problem Gambling Self-Assessment

Honest self-reflection is an important step in recognising whether gambling is starting to affect your life negatively. The questions below are based on widely used responsible gaming screening frameworks. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to make use of hbsje's self-exclusion tools and to seek independent professional support.

1

Have you ever bet more money than you could comfortably afford to lose?

2

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are at work, studying, or spending time with family or friends?

3

Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by placing more bets (chasing losses)?

4

Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings in order to fund gambling?

5

Have you felt irritable, restless, or anxious when attempting to reduce or stop gambling?

6

Have you ever concealed the extent of your gambling activity from family members or close friends?

7

Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships, employment, or financial situation?

8

Have you found that you need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to experience the same level of excitement?

If You Answered Yes to 3 or More

Your gambling habits may be causing you harm. Please take immediate steps to protect yourself using the tools on this page — set a deposit limit, activate a time-out, or request self-exclusion through your account settings.

You can also contact hbsje support directly at [email protected] and our team will help you activate the protections most appropriate for your situation.

You Are Not Alone

Problem gambling affects a small percentage of players across all demographics. It is a recognised condition, not a character flaw. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength — not weakness. hbsje's support team will treat any responsible gaming request with complete discretion and without judgment.

Support Resources

Getting Help & External Support

hbsje's in-platform tools are the first line of defence against problem gambling, but we recognise that some players may need independent professional support that goes beyond what an operator can provide. We encourage any player who is concerned about their gambling to reach out to qualified counsellors and support organisations.

hbsje Support Team

Available 24/7 via live chat and by email (08:00–24:00 BST). Request a deposit limit, time-out, or self-exclusion at any time. Email: [email protected]

Kaan Pete Roi (Bangladesh)

A Bangladesh-based emotional support helpline providing confidential counselling services. Recommended for players experiencing anxiety, distress, or financial pressure related to gambling.

Talk to a Trusted Person

Sharing your concerns with a family member, close friend, or a religious figure you trust can be a powerful first step. You do not have to manage problem gambling alone.

When contacting hbsje about a responsible gaming concern, please use the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request" in your email. Our team will prioritise your message and respond within two hours during support hours. For urgent account lockout requests, live chat is the fastest channel — our agents can activate an immediate account suspension within minutes of your request.

Safer Play

Safer Play Tips for hbsje Players

Whether you are a seasoned cricket better or a newcomer exploring slots and live casino for the first time, these practical guidelines will help you keep gambling enjoyable and under control at all times.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide how much you can afford to spend — in BDT — before you log in. Treat this amount as an entertainment expense, not an investment. Never deposit more than your pre-set budget, regardless of how a session is going.

Never Chase Your Losses

Chasing losses — depositing more money to try to recover what you have already lost — is one of the most common patterns of harmful gambling. If you reach your loss limit for the day, log out and return another time.

Track Your Time

It is easy to lose track of time during an exciting BPL cricket match or a live dealer baccarat session. Use hbsje's reality check reminder to stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen regularly — even during live in-play betting. Short breaks help you maintain perspective and make clearer decisions about whether to continue playing.

Do Not Play Under Pressure

Avoid gambling when you are emotionally stressed, anxious, fatigued, or under financial pressure. Emotional states impair judgment and increase the risk of making impulsive bets you would otherwise avoid.

Gambling Is Not a Income Source

Treat every session on hbsje as entertainment — like watching a match or going to the cinema. Winnings are a bonus, never a financial plan. Do not rely on gambling to pay bills, rent, or everyday expenses.

Remember: The house always has a mathematical edge over time. All casino games and sports bets carry the risk of loss. hbsje's games use certified Random Number Generators (RNGs) and are fair — but no strategy or system can guarantee consistent winnings. Play for fun, set limits, and stay in control. 18+ only
