Responsible Gaming at 36bd — Play Within Your Limits
36bd is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for every player in Bangladesh. Gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page outlines the tools, resources, and guidance available to help you stay in control.
Our Responsible Gaming Tools
Six Ways 36bd Helps You Stay in Control
These tools are built directly into the 36bd platform and are available to every registered player at no cost. You do not need to justify using them — they are there for your benefit.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 36bd account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 48-hour cooling-off period before they apply.
Define how long you can play in a single sitting. When your chosen session duration is reached, you will receive a notification and the option to end your session. This feature helps prevent unplanned extended play, particularly during late-night hours or while betting on live cricket matches.
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account remains open but all gameplay and deposits are suspended. You can still withdraw any available balance during this period.
For players who need a longer or permanent break, 36bd offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended, you will be removed from all marketing lists, and you will not receive any promotional communications from 36bd.
In addition to deposit limits, you can set a ceiling on the amount you are willing to lose over a defined period. Once your loss limit is reached, further wagers are restricted for the remainder of that period. This tool is particularly useful for sports bettors managing their cricket betting bankroll responsibly.
Enable recurring on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in your current session. Reality checks can be set at intervals of 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. The reminder pauses your session and prompts a conscious decision about whether to continue.

Know the Signs
Warning Signs That Gambling May Be Becoming a Problem
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early warning signs in yourself — or in someone close to you — is the first and most important step toward getting help. None of these signs are a cause for shame; they are signals that additional support is needed.
The 36bd support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are concerned about your gambling or a family member's gambling, reach out immediately. We will listen without judgement and help you access the right tools.
support [at] 36bd.ioChasing losses: Placing more bets or increasing bet sizes in an attempt to win back money you have already lost. This is one of the most common and damaging patterns in problem gambling.
Borrowing to gamble: Using money from bKash, Nagad, or borrowed funds from family, friends, or loan providers to fund gambling activity beyond what you can comfortably afford to lose.
Inability to stop: Repeatedly attempting to cut down or stop gambling but finding it difficult or impossible to do so, even when you genuinely intend to.
Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, neglecting family obligations, or withdrawing from social activities in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere because of time and money spent on gambling.
Concealing gambling activity: Hiding bet histories, transaction records, or account balances from family members, or feeling a need to be secretive about how much time or money you spend on the platform.
Emotional distress tied to gambling: Feeling anxious, irritable, restless, or depressed when not gambling, or using gambling as a way to escape stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions.
Self-Assessment
Ask Yourself These Questions Honestly
If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to activate one or more responsible gaming tools or contact the 36bd support team for a confidential conversation.
-
Q1
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally planned or could afford to lose?
-
Q2
Have you gambled to try to win back money you had previously lost, rather than purely for entertainment?
-
Q3
Have you ever borrowed money, sold possessions, or used savings you could not afford to use in order to fund gambling?
-
Q4
Have friends, family members, or colleagues ever expressed concern about your gambling habits or the amount of time you spend on gambling platforms?
-
Q5
Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or distressed when you were unable to gamble, or when you tried to cut down on gambling?
-
Q6

-
Q7
Has gambling ever caused you to neglect work, studies, family time, or other important responsibilities in your life?

Q8
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently when you are not playing — planning your next session, calculating odds, or reliving past wins or losses?
Our 21+ Age Policy
36bd enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all registered players. This is non-negotiable and applies to every player in Bangladesh regardless of the game type — whether cricket betting, live casino tables, slots, or any other product offered on the platform.
Age verification is carried out during the registration process and may be supplemented by documentary identity checks (KYC) at any stage of your account lifecycle. If we have reasonable grounds to believe a player is under 21 years of age, we will suspend the account and withhold any funds pending a full review. Where underage gambling is confirmed, the account will be permanently closed and funds returned to the payment source.
If you are a parent or guardian and you suspect a minor has registered a 36bd account using false information, contact us immediately at support [at] 36bd.io. We will investigate the matter as a priority and take appropriate action without delay.
Our Commitment to Underage Protection
36bd recommends that all parents and guardians in Bangladesh take active steps to prevent underage access to online gambling platforms. Practical measures include:
- Installing parental control software on shared devices
- Keeping personal mobile banking accounts (bKash, Nagad, Rocket) private and PIN-protected
- Keeping passwords to gambling accounts confidential and not sharing devices while logged in
- Having open conversations with young people about the risks of gambling
Gambling Should Never Be a Financial Strategy
36bd is an entertainment platform. The house edge means that, over the long run, gambling is not a reliable or sustainable source of income. Every player should approach the platform with a clear entertainment budget — an amount they are genuinely comfortable losing — and treat any winnings as a bonus rather than an expectation.
Before depositing, ask yourself: "If I lost this entire amount today, would it materially affect my ability to pay rent, bills, or provide for my family?" If the answer is yes, that amount is too much. Set a deposit limit that reflects only discretionary entertainment spending.
How 36bd Monitors for Problem Gambling
Our platform uses automated behavioural monitoring to identify patterns that may indicate a player is experiencing gambling-related harm. Indicators we monitor include:
- Rapid escalation in deposit frequency or amounts
- Extended continuous play sessions without breaks
- Frequent deposits immediately following significant losses
- Unusual activity patterns in the hours between midnight and 5am BST
- Multiple failed withdrawal requests followed by continued deposits
When our system flags a potential concern, a member of the 36bd player welfare team will proactively reach out to the player by email. This outreach is not punitive — it is a genuine welfare check. Players are under no obligation to respond, but we encourage an open conversation.
Getting External Help
36bd believes in providing players with access to external support resources. If gambling is significantly affecting your wellbeing, your relationships, or your finances, please consider reaching out to qualified counselling services available in Bangladesh. Speaking to a mental health professional or a trusted family member is always a positive step, regardless of the nature or severity of the problem.
