Responsible Gaming at 83bd
Gambling should always be an enjoyable activity — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. At 83bd, we provide every player in Bangladesh with practical tools, honest information, and direct access to support so that gaming remains fun, controlled, and within your means.
Playing at 83bd Should Always Feel Safe
At 83bd, we believe that responsible gaming is not simply a policy obligation — it is a core part of who we are as a platform. We serve players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and every corner of Bangladesh, and we take seriously the trust each player places in us when they choose to spend their leisure time and money on our platform.
Gambling, at its best, is a form of entertainment: the thrill of a cricket match bet, the anticipation of a spinning slot reel, or the strategic satisfaction of a card game. But we also recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can transition from entertainment into a problem — one that affects finances, relationships, and mental wellbeing. That is why 83bd has invested in a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools and resources that every registered player can access at any time, free of charge.
Our approach is built around four principles: prevention, awareness, intervention, and support. We give players the means to set their own limits before problems arise, we provide clear information so players can recognise early warning signs, we intervene proactively when usage patterns suggest a player may be at risk, and we connect anyone who needs help with the right support — including the option to exclude themselves from the platform entirely.
Our Pledge: 83bd will never encourage or incentivise a player to chase losses, exceed their stated deposit limits, or continue playing when they have requested a break. Player wellbeing always comes before platform revenue.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you deposit into your 83bd account. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.
Session Time Limits
Define the maximum duration of each gaming session. When your time is up, 83bd will alert you and can automatically end your session to encourage natural breaks.
Time-Out Periods
Take a structured break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended from all gaming activity while remaining accessible for withdrawal of any outstanding balance.
Self-Exclusion
Request a permanent or long-term self-exclusion from 83bd. Once confirmed, your account is closed to all gambling activity and you will not receive any marketing communications from us.

Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming at 83bd
These six principles guide every responsible gaming decision we make at 83bd, from product design to customer support.
Strict Age Verification
Every 83bd player must be 21 years of age or older. We verify age at registration and again before processing any withdrawal. No exceptions are made under any circumstances.
Gaming as Entertainment
83bd is designed to be fun. Our games — from cricket betting to live casino and Andar Bahar — are entertainment products. We actively discourage treating gambling as a way to earn income or recover losses.
Transparent Odds and RTP
All games on 83bd display clear return-to-player (RTP) information. We believe informed players make better decisions. No game on the platform conceals its odds or house edge from the player.
Non-Judgmental Support
Our 24/7 support team is trained to assist players who are concerned about their gambling habits with empathy, discretion, and without judgment. You can reach us any time at [email protected].
Proactive Risk Monitoring
83bd's internal systems continuously monitor for patterns that may indicate a player is experiencing difficulties — such as rapidly escalating deposits, frequent loss-chasing, or sudden changes in play frequency.
Family and Minor Protection
We encourage players to use device-level parental controls to prevent underage family members from accessing gambling content. If you share a device, please log out after each session and never share your login credentials.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. For many people, it develops gradually — beginning as casual entertainment before slowly consuming more time, money, and mental energy than was ever intended. Being able to recognise the warning signs, both in yourself and in those around you, is the first and most important step toward regaining control.
The signs listed here are not a clinical diagnosis, but they are recognised indicators that gambling may have moved beyond healthy entertainment. If you identify with several of these descriptions, we strongly encourage you to use 83bd's responsible gaming tools or to reach out to our support team for a confidential conversation.
You are not alone: Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life — across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and beyond. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 83bd is here to support you through every step of the process.
Spending more than you can afford. You find yourself depositing amounts that exceed your available disposable income, using funds intended for rent, food, utility bills, or other essential expenses to fund your gambling activity.
Chasing losses. After a losing session, you feel a compulsive urge to deposit more and continue playing in an attempt to win back what you have lost — often resulting in even greater losses.
Gambling occupies your thoughts constantly. You find yourself thinking about gambling, planning your next session, or reliving past wins and losses even when you are at work, spending time with family, or trying to sleep.
Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel excitement. The same stake that once felt thrilling no longer produces the same effect, and you find yourself consistently increasing your bet sizes to recapture that feeling.
Hiding your gambling from friends and family. You feel the need to conceal how much time or money you are spending on gambling, or you become defensive or dishonest when asked about your activities.
Gambling to escape stress or negative emotions. You turn to gambling as a way of dealing with anxiety, depression, boredom, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties, rather than as a purely recreational activity.
Failed attempts to cut back or stop. You have made genuine efforts to reduce the amount of time or money you spend gambling but have been unable to follow through, despite wanting to change your behaviour.
How Is Your Relationship with Gambling?
The following questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your gambling habits. There are no right or wrong answers. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, consider using one of 83bd's responsible gaming tools or speaking to our support team.
If you answered "yes" to three or more of the above questions, we encourage you to take a break using one of 83bd's responsible gaming tools — starting with the Time-Out feature — and to consider speaking with a professional counsellor. You can also contact our support team at [email protected] for a confidential, non-judgmental conversation about your options.
You Don't Have to Face This Alone
If gambling is causing problems in your life, reaching out is the most important step you can take. 83bd's support team is available around the clock, and we can help connect you with the right resources.
83bd Support Team
Our trained support staff are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming" and a team member will respond with empathy and practical guidance within the hour.
Request Self-Exclusion

Talk to Someone You Trust
Sometimes the most powerful first step is an honest conversation with a family member, a close friend, or a trusted community figure. You do not need to face the issue in isolation — support from people who care about you can make a genuine difference.

Tips for Keeping Gaming Enjoyable
The following practical guidelines are recommended for all 83bd players, regardless of whether you currently experience any difficulties with gambling. Adopting these habits from the outset is the best way to ensure gaming remains a positive experience.
- Set a budget before you play. Decide in advance exactly how much money you are comfortable spending and treat that figure as an absolute cap — not a starting point.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Only ever use funds that are genuinely surplus to your essential living expenses — rent, food, bills, family obligations.
- Accept losses as the cost of entertainment. When you deposit ৳500 on a cricket bet, think of it as the cost of watching an exciting match — not as an investment you expect to recover.
- Take regular breaks. Use 83bd's session time reminder to prompt regular pauses. Step away from the screen, stretch, drink water, and re-evaluate before continuing.
- Do not gamble when emotionally distressed. Stress, grief, anger, or anxiety significantly impair decision-making. If you have had a difficult day, choose a different activity.
- Keep gambling separate from alcohol. Alcohol and other substances impair judgment and lower inhibitions, leading to decisions you may later regret.
- Balance gambling with other activities. Gambling should be one of many leisure activities in your life — not the primary one. Maintain hobbies, social connections, and physical activity.
- Review your account history regularly. 83bd provides a full transaction and gaming history in your account dashboard. Reviewing this periodically keeps you grounded in reality about your actual spending.
Play Within Your Means
The single most effective responsible gaming habit is simply spending only what you have already decided you can afford to lose — before the session begins.
Understand the Odds
Every game on 83bd is governed by mathematical probability. The house always holds an edge over the long run. Understanding this makes it easier to enjoy games as entertainment rather than income.
Enjoy 83bd — Always Within Your Limits
