Core Responsible Gaming Principles

bettex integrates responsible gaming protections directly into every layer of the platform — from registration through every deposit, bet, and withdrawal.

Strict Age Verification

Every new bettex account is subject to mandatory age verification during the KYC process. No player under the age of 18 is permitted to register, deposit, or wager on any bettex product. Accounts found to belong to minors are closed immediately and all funds reviewed per our Terms & Conditions.

Flexible Deposit Limits

Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on their bettex account at any time. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. Increases to a previously set limit require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they become active — a deliberate safeguard built to protect players from impulsive decisions.

Time-Out Feature

If you feel you need a short break from gambling, the bettex time-out tool lets you pause your account for a defined period — from 24 hours up to six weeks. During a time-out, your account is locked for all wagering activity. You can request an extension at any time, but the time-out cannot be shortened once activated.

Self-Exclusion Programme

For players who feel they need a longer-term or permanent break, bettex offers a formal self-exclusion programme. Self-exclusion periods range from six months to five years, or can be set as permanent. Once self-exclusion is active, the account cannot be reopened for the duration of the exclusion period under any circumstances.

Reality Checks & Session Alerts

bettex can send you periodic in-session notifications reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. Reality checks help you stay aware of the time and money you are spending, giving you a natural pause to reconsider whether to continue your session.

24/7 Support Access

Our player support team is available around the clock at [email protected]. Whether you want to activate a tool, ask a question about your gambling behaviour, or simply talk to someone, our team is trained to respond with care, confidentiality, and zero judgement — at any hour, every day of the year.

Recognising the Signs

Gambling problems can develop gradually and are not always obvious. Being aware of the early warning signs — in yourself or in someone close to you — is the first step towards getting help.

For the vast majority of players in Bangladesh, bettex is a source of entertainment — a way to enjoy cricket betting during a BPL or T20 match, spin a few slot rounds, or try their luck at the live casino tables. Gambling becomes a problem only when it stops being fun and starts interfering with daily life, finances, relationships, or mental health.

Problem gambling does not discriminate. It can affect players regardless of their income level, education, or how long they have been gambling. The important thing is that it is treatable, and bettex is here to support any player who reaches out for help.

Common warning signs of problem gambling include: chasing losses, betting more than you can afford to lose, gambling to escape stress or emotional problems, lying to friends or family about your gambling, borrowing money to fund gambling, and neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling.

If any of these signs resonate with you, bettex strongly encourages you to use the self-assessment questions below, activate one of our protective tools, or contact our support team directly. Early intervention makes recovery significantly more achievable.

Ask Yourself These Questions

Answer honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, consider reaching out for support.

1

Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned to?

2

Have you ever tried to win back money you have lost by gambling more?

3

Have you lied to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much you gamble?

4

Do you gamble when you are feeling anxious, depressed, lonely, or under stress?

5

Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used savings to fund your gambling?

6

Has gambling ever caused problems at work, in your studies, or in your relationships?

7

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to stop or cut down on gambling?

8

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling even when you are not actively playing?

Take Control — Your Options at bettex

All responsible gaming tools are available to every registered bettex member at no cost. They can be activated instantly through your account settings or by contacting our support team at any time.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. The limit applies across all bettex deposit channels — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and bank transfers. Reductions are immediate; increases require a 24-hour waiting period.

Session Time Limit

Limit the maximum duration of any single gambling session. Once your session time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out. You may set a new session or log back in, but the break provides a natural opportunity to pause and reflect.

Time-Out

Temporarily suspend your bettex account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours to six weeks. During a time-out, you cannot place bets, make deposits, or access your game balance. Pending withdrawals are unaffected and will be processed normally.

Self-Exclusion

For a more extended break, request self-exclusion for periods ranging from six months to five years, or choose permanent closure. Self-exclusion is irreversible for its duration. bettex will not send you promotional communications during a self-exclusion period.

How to activate a tool: Log in to your bettex account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, or send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Tool Request" and specify which tool you wish to activate. All requests are actioned within one business hour, and self-exclusion requests are actioned immediately.

Healthy Gambling Habits

Following a few straightforward principles can make a significant difference in keeping gambling fun and within healthy boundaries.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide in advance the maximum amount you are comfortable losing — and treat it as an entertainment expense, not an investment. Once that amount is spent, stop for the session. Never gamble with money allocated to rent, food, utilities, or other essential expenses.

Using bKash or Nagad as your deposit method makes it straightforward to track spending, since your mobile banking app maintains a clear transaction history you can review at any time.

Treat Gambling as Entertainment

The house always has a mathematical edge over the long run — this is true of every casino game and sports book worldwide, including bettex. Approach gambling the same way you would a cinema ticket or a restaurant meal: as something you pay for in exchange for an enjoyable experience, not as a reliable way to generate income.

Winning is possible, and bettex pays out winnings promptly in BDT — but wins are never guaranteed and should be treated as a pleasant bonus, not a financial plan.

Balance Gambling with Other Activities

A healthy relationship with gambling means it occupies a modest, predictable share of your leisure time. Players who maintain diverse interests — cricket, fitness, family time, community activities — are less likely to develop problematic gambling patterns than those for whom gambling becomes the primary or only recreational outlet.

Never Chase Losses

Chasing losses — increasing your bets or continuing to play in an attempt to recover money you have already lost — is one of the most common and dangerous patterns associated with problem gambling. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment and walk away when your session budget is exhausted. A losing session today does not predict a winning one tomorrow.

Avoid Gambling Under the Influence

Gambling while emotionally distressed, fatigued, or under the influence of alcohol or any substance significantly impairs judgement and dramatically increases the risk of making decisions you will later regret. bettex recommends gambling only when you are in a clear, calm, and rational frame of mind.

Keep Gambling Private — But Honest

You are under no obligation to share your gambling activity with others, but secrecy about the amount you are spending is one of the early indicators of a problem. If you find yourself concealing deposits, withdrawals, or losses from people close to you, treat this as a signal to review your habits and consider activating a protective tool.

Under-18 Policy

bettex enforces a strict 18+ age policy. Protecting young people from exposure to gambling is one of our highest priorities.

No person under the age of 18 years is permitted to open an account, make a deposit, or place a wager on the bettex platform under any circumstances. Age verification is performed as a mandatory step during the KYC process for all new accounts, and bettex reserves the right to request additional proof of age from any member at any time.

If bettex discovers or receives credible evidence that a registered account belongs to a person under 18, the account will be suspended immediately, all wagering activity will be voided, and the matter will be escalated to our compliance team for investigation.

Advice for parents and guardians in Bangladesh: If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Talk openly with young people about the risks associated with gambling so they understand why it is restricted to adults.
