Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries the risk of losing money. This is a fundamental reality that every player must understand before placing a bet. At DBBet, we want our users in Bangladesh to enjoy betting as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems.

Responsible gaming means staying in control of your behaviour. Set a budget before you start and stick to it. Never chase losses by placing larger bets to recover money. Take regular breaks during your sessions. Keep gambling separate from other areas of your life, such as work and family time.

Our platform offers several tools to help you play responsibly:

• Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps
• Loss limits: Control how much you can lose in a given period
• Session time reminders: Get notifications about how long you’ve been playing
• Self-exclusion options: Temporarily or permanently block access to your account
• Reality checks: Receive regular alerts showing your current session duration and spending

These tools give you the power to protect your financial and emotional wellbeing. Use them proactively, not just when problems arise. Remember that gambling is a game of chance. The outcome is never guaranteed, and the house always has an edge.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that affects thousands of people in Bangladesh and worldwide. Recognising the warning signs early can prevent severe financial and personal consequences.

You may have a gambling problem if you:

• Spend more money on betting than you can afford to lose
• Borrow money or sell possessions to fund your gambling
• Lie to family members or friends about how much you bet
• Feel anxious, irritable, or depressed when you try to stop
• Chase losses by placing larger or more frequent bets
• Neglect work, education, or family responsibilities due to betting
• Gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness
• Feel the need to bet with increasing amounts to get the same excitement
• Make repeated unsuccessful attempts to control or stop gambling
• Experience relationship conflicts or job loss because of your betting habits

If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it’s important to seek help immediately. Addiction doesn’t improve on its own. Professional support and treatment can make a real difference.

Combating gambling addiction requires commitment, support, and practical strategies. DBBet recommends the following steps to help prevent addiction from developing or worsening:

• Set strict financial limits: Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start, and never exceed that amount
• Use platform control tools: Activate deposit limits, loss caps, and session time reminders on your account
• Keep gambling separate: Don’t let betting interfere with work, family time, or other responsibilities
• Avoid chasing losses: Accept losses as part of the game and never try to win back money by betting more
• Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen frequently to maintain perspective
• Track your spending: Keep a record of deposits, bets, and losses to stay aware of your habits
• Seek support early: Talk to trusted friends, family members, or professionals if you feel you’re losing control
• Consider self-exclusion: If you can’t control your betting, use our self-exclusion feature to block access
• Find alternative activities: Develop hobbies and interests that don’t involve gambling
• Contact helplines: Reach out to addiction support organisations in Bangladesh for professional guidance

Remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Treatment options are available, and recovery is possible with the right support system.
