Responsible Gaming at abc65 — Play Smart, Stay Safe
abc65 believes gambling should be an enjoyable, controlled activity — never a source of financial stress or harm. This page covers the tools, limits, and support resources available to every player on our platform in Bangladesh.
abc65's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At abc65, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we operate. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent platform for all players in Bangladesh.
abc65 is Bangladesh's trusted online casino and sports betting platform, and with that trust comes a clear responsibility. We understand that gambling, while entertaining, carries an inherent risk of harm for some individuals. Our approach to responsible gaming is built around three principles: prevention, protection, and support.
Prevention means we enforce strict age verification to ensure only adults aged 18 and above can open an account and place bets on abc65. It also means we provide transparent information about odds, house edges, and the nature of gambling so that every player can make informed decisions before they wager.
Protection means we give every registered abc65 player a suite of practical tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion — that put control directly in the player's hands. These tools can be activated at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team at [email protected].
Support means that when a player — or someone who cares about a player — believes gambling is causing harm, abc65 provides clear, compassionate pathways to help. Our support team is available around the clock, and we maintain links to recognised responsible gaming organisations that can provide professional guidance.
abc65 strictly prohibits the use of our platform by minors. We employ technical controls, age-gate checks during registration, and KYC document verification to enforce this policy. If you believe a minor is accessing an abc65 account, please report it immediately to [email protected].
We also recognise that responsible gaming is an ongoing conversation — not a one-time notice. Every abc65 account page, deposit screen, and session summary carries visible reminders to play within your means. We believe that frequent, clear communication about responsible gaming is far more effective than a single buried disclaimer.
Three Pillars of abc65 Responsible Gaming
Prevention
Strict 18+ enforcement, age verification, and transparent odds so players always know what they are getting into.
Protection
Deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, cool-off periods, and full self-exclusion — all available on demand.
Support
24/7 support team access and guidance to professional help organisations whenever a player needs it.
18+ Age Restriction Policy
abc65 operates a strict 18+ policy. No person under the age of 18 may register an account, make a deposit, or place any bet on the abc65 platform.
How abc65 Enforces the 18+ Rule
During registration, all new players are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older. abc65 treats this declaration seriously and backs it up with identity verification checks at multiple stages of the account lifecycle:
- Registration gate: Players must confirm their date of birth during sign-up. Any date of birth indicating the player is under 18 will result in immediate rejection of the registration.
- KYC verification: Before a withdrawal is processed, abc65 requires players to submit a valid identity document — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport — that confirms their age. Accounts where age cannot be verified will be restricted until the check is completed.
- Ongoing monitoring: abc65's fraud and compliance team monitors account activity for indicators that an account may be in use by a minor. Suspicious accounts are flagged for review and may be suspended pending verification.
- Reporting: Any user who suspects that a minor is using an abc65 account — whether their own child or someone else — is encouraged to report this immediately by emailing [email protected].
Accounts found to be registered by, or used by, a person under 18 will be permanently closed. Any funds in such an account will be handled in accordance with abc65's Terms & Conditions, with deposits returned to the verified payment source where possible.
Responsible Gaming Tools
abc65 provides a comprehensive set of tools that give you direct control over your gambling activity. All tools are available free of charge and can be activated at any time by contacting [email protected].
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately; increases take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you are willing to lose in a defined period (daily, weekly, or monthly). When your net loss reaches the limit you have set, abc65 will automatically prevent further betting activity for the remainder of that period, regardless of your available balance.
Session Time Reminders
Set a maximum session duration (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours). When your active session reaches that limit, abc65 will display a prominent reminder notifying you of how long you have been playing and encouraging you to take a break. You retain the choice to continue or stop.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from gambling without permanently closing your account. Cool-off periods range from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a cool-off, your account is restricted — you cannot log in, deposit, or bet. Your account and funds remain intact and are accessible after the period ends.
Wager Limits
Restrict the maximum stake amount per bet or per spin across all games. This is particularly useful for slots and live casino players who wish to prevent high-stakes play during a session. Like deposit limits, reductions take effect immediately while increases require a 24-hour review window.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently or temporarily block yourself from accessing abc65. Self-exclusion is a serious, binding tool intended for players who feel they have lost control. Once activated, it cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. See Section 6 for full details on how self-exclusion works at abc65.
How to Activate These Tools
All responsible gaming tools listed above can be activated by contacting the abc65 support team directly:
- Email: Send a request to [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Tool Request". State clearly which tool you want to activate and (for limits) the specific amount or duration you wish to set.
- Live Chat: Use the in-platform live chat feature to speak with a support agent directly. Requests received via live chat are actioned within minutes during staffed hours.
abc65 processes all responsible gaming tool requests as a priority. Our support team is trained to handle these requests with sensitivity and without judgement. You do not need to provide a reason for wanting to set a limit or take a break — the request will be processed promptly regardless.
Limit Change Rules

| Reduce any limit | Immediately |
| Increase any limit | After 24-hour review |
| Activate cool-off | Immediately |

Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. Understanding the warning signs early is the first step toward regaining control.
Gambling becomes a problem when it stops being entertainment and starts affecting other areas of your life — your finances, your relationships, your work, or your mental health. The important thing to understand is that problem gambling is not about how much money you spend or how often you play. It is about whether you feel in control.
Many people who develop a problematic relationship with gambling do not realise it is happening until the consequences become significant. abc65 encourages all players — regardless of how casually they play — to regularly reflect on their gambling habits and to use the self-assessment questions in Section 5 of this page.
If someone close to you — a family member, partner, or friend — has raised concerns about your gambling, please take those concerns seriously. People who care about you are often able to see patterns that are difficult to recognise from the inside.
Common Warning Signs
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Answering these questions honestly — for yourself, not for anyone else — can help you gauge whether your gambling habits are within a healthy range. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to use one of abc65's responsible gaming tools or contact our support team.
Have you ever gambled with more money than you could comfortably afford to lose?
Have you ever returned to gambling the next day in order to try to win back money you lost?
Have you ever hidden your gambling activity or lied to a family member about how much you spent or how long you played?
Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you tried to cut down on or stop gambling?
Have you ever borrowed money — from a person or a mobile banking service — specifically to fund gambling activity?
Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, neglect family responsibilities, or withdraw from activities you previously enjoyed?
Have you ever gambled to escape feelings of worry, stress, loneliness, or depression rather than purely for entertainment?
Have you ever felt that you need to gamble with larger and larger amounts of money to get the same sense of excitement?
0–2 Yes Answers
Your gambling habits appear to be within a healthy range. Continue to use abc65's limit tools to keep things in check, and revisit this questionnaire periodically.
3–5 Yes Answers
You may be developing a problematic relationship with gambling. We recommend setting deposit and loss limits today and considering a cool-off period. Please speak to our support team.
6–8 Yes Answers
Your answers suggest gambling may be causing significant harm. We strongly encourage you to activate self-exclusion immediately and to seek support from a professional counselling service.
Self-Exclusion at abc65
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on abc65. It is a voluntary, binding decision to block your own access to the platform for a defined or indefinite period.
What Self-Exclusion Means
When you self-exclude from abc65, your account is immediately and completely blocked. You will not be able to log in, deposit funds, or place any bets for the duration of your chosen exclusion period. abc65 will also suppress all marketing communications — bonus emails, promotional SMS messages, and campaign notifications — to your registered contact details for the full duration of the exclusion.
Self-exclusion periods available at abc65 are: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and permanent exclusion. There is no short-term self-exclusion option — the minimum period is 6 months to ensure that the tool provides genuine protection rather than a brief pause driven by a momentary decision.
During a self-exclusion period, abc65 will not accept any request to reopen the account, regardless of the circumstances stated. This is intentional — the purpose of self-exclusion is to provide a binding commitment that holds even when the urge to return to gambling is strong.
Your Funds During Self-Exclusion
Any balance remaining in your abc65 account at the time of self-exclusion can be withdrawn. You will be given the opportunity to request a withdrawal of your full available balance before the exclusion takes effect. After exclusion is active, no deposits can be made, and your account balance will be held securely until the exclusion period ends (for time-limited exclusions) or until you make a formal withdrawal request through a separate process (for permanent exclusions).
How to Request Self-Exclusion
Contact abc65 Support
Email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered username, your registered mobile number, and the exclusion period you are requesting (6 months / 1 year / 3 years / permanent).
Identity Confirmation
Our support team will confirm your identity to ensure the request is being made by the account holder. This is a brief process — typically a one-step verification via your registered mobile number.
Exclusion Activated Immediately
Once confirmed, self-exclusion is activated immediately. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address. Your account is locked, and marketing communications are suppressed within minutes.
Withdraw Your Balance
If you have a remaining balance, request withdrawal in the same email or via live chat before the exclusion is finalised. Withdrawals to your verified bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account are processed within one business day.
Self-Exclusion Options
Support Resources for Problem Gambling
If you feel that gambling is negatively affecting your life, reaching out for help is a sign of strength — not weakness. The following guidance and resources are available to players in Bangladesh.
Talk to Someone
Sharing your experience with a trusted friend, family member, or counsellor is often the most effective first step. You do not have to face a gambling problem alone.
Professional Counselling
Mental health professionals trained in addiction and behavioural disorders can provide structured, evidence-based support for problem gambling. Ask your local clinic or hospital for a referral.
Support Groups
Peer support groups — both in-person and online — bring together people who share similar experiences with problem gambling and can offer non-judgemental community support.
Financial Counselling
If gambling has created financial difficulties, a financial counsellor can help you create a recovery plan, manage debt, and regain stability. Many banks in Bangladesh — including BRAC Bank and Dutch-Bangla Bank — offer financial wellbeing support.
Family Support
Problem gambling affects not only the individual but also those around them. Family members and partners can seek their own counselling and support to help cope with and respond to a loved one's gambling behaviour.
abc65 Direct Support
Our support team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with care and confidentiality. Email [email protected] any time — we will respond promptly and help you activate whatever protective tools you need.
Advice for Family Members and Friends
If someone close to you is showing signs of problem gambling, it can be difficult to know how to help. Here are some practical suggestions:
- Have an honest conversation: Choose a calm moment — not immediately after a gambling incident — to express your concern in a non-accusatory way. Use "I" statements: "I have noticed you seem stressed about money lately" rather than "You are gambling too much."
- Set boundaries around money: Do not lend money to someone you believe has a gambling problem, even under pressure. Providing funds, even with good intentions, can enable the behaviour to continue.
- Encourage professional help: You can suggest counselling or support groups, but ultimately the decision to seek help must come from the individual. Your role is to encourage, not to force.
- Take care of yourself: Living with or caring for someone with a gambling problem is emotionally taxing. Seek your own support — whether through friends, family, or a counsellor — so that you can maintain your own wellbeing.
- Contact abc65 if the account is yours to report: If a family member is using an abc65 account that was opened in your name, or if you have reason to believe a minor is using an account, contact us at [email protected] immediately.
