Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At hb998, we believe that online betting and casino entertainment should always be exactly that — entertainment. For the overwhelming majority of players across Bangladesh who enjoy cricket betting, slots, live casino, and sports wagering on hb998, gambling is a fun and recreational activity. However, hb998 also recognises that for some individuals, gambling can develop into a serious problem that affects their financial stability, mental health, and personal relationships.

That is why responsible gaming is not just a compliance checkbox at hb998 — it is a core part of how we design and operate our platform. From the moment you register an hb998 account through to every session you play, our responsible gaming tools, monitoring systems, and support resources are working in the background to help you stay in control. hb998 provides every registered player in Bangladesh with access to a comprehensive suite of self-management tools that can be activated at any time, without requiring any external approval.

hb998 Responsible Gaming Principle: Gambling at hb998 should always be a choice made freely, with full awareness of the risks, within financial limits the player is genuinely comfortable with, and never as a way to solve financial problems, relieve stress, or recover previous losses.

hb998 enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players in Bangladesh. Age verification is a mandatory step during account registration, and additional checks are carried out at withdrawal and whenever account activity raises an age-related concern. No person under the age of 21 may open or operate an hb998 account under any circumstances.

Self-Management Tools Available on hb998

hb998 provides a full range of player-controlled responsible gaming tools, all accessible directly from your account settings. You do not need to contact customer support to activate most of these tools — they are available to you at any time, on demand, and take effect immediately or within a short processing window as described below.

Deposit Limits

Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to manage your gambling spend on hb998. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳ BDT). Once a limit is set, hb998 will automatically decline any deposit that would cause your total deposits within that period to exceed the limit you have chosen.

  • Daily deposit limit: Caps the total ৳ BDT you can deposit to hb998 within any rolling 24-hour period.
  • Weekly deposit limit: Caps your total deposits across any rolling 7-day period.
  • Monthly deposit limit: Caps your total deposits across any rolling 30-day period.
  • Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit or removing a limit is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling period before the change is applied, giving you time to reconsider.

Session Time Limits

Time can pass quickly during an engaging betting or gaming session. hb998's session time limit tool allows you to set a maximum continuous play duration after which hb998 will display a prominent on-screen alert and, if you choose, automatically log you out of your hb998 account. Available intervals range from 30 minutes to 8 hours per session.

Tip: Even if you do not activate a session limit, hb998 displays a real-time session clock in your account dashboard at all times. Check it regularly as a simple habit to stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Loss Limits

A loss limit allows you to cap the total amount of ৳ BDT you are willing to lose within a given time period on hb998. Once your net losses reach the limit you have set, hb998 will prevent you from placing further bets or wagers until the period resets. Like deposit limits, reductions take effect immediately while increases require a 7-day cooling period.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from gambling on hb998, a cooling-off period allows you to temporarily suspend your account for a defined duration — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in to your hb998 account, place bets, deposit funds, or access any real-money gaming features. Your account balance and data are preserved and will be accessible once the cooling-off period expires.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is hb998's most powerful responsible gaming tool, designed for players who feel they need a more extended break from gambling. Activating self-exclusion permanently suspends your hb998 account for the duration you choose — a minimum of 6 months, or indefinitely. During a self-exclusion, hb998 will:

  • Prevent all logins to your hb998 account
  • Block all deposits and wagers via your registered payment methods (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay)
  • Suppress all promotional and marketing communications to your registered email and mobile number
  • Place a flag on your account that remains active even if you attempt to register a new hb998 account using matching identity details

Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours of submission. Once activated, a self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the minimum exclusion period has elapsed, and reinstatement requires a 7-day reflection period plus a verified identity check. To request self-exclusion, contact hb998 support at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".

Reality Checks

hb998's reality check feature sends you a pop-up notification at regular intervals during your gaming session — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes as you configure — displaying your net session result in ৳ BDT, the total time you have been playing, and a prompt to review whether you wish to continue. This tool is particularly useful for slots and live casino sessions where continuous play can be easy to lose track of.

Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in oneself. hb998 encourages all players in Bangladesh to periodically reflect on their gambling habits using the self-assessment questions below. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, hb998 strongly recommends that you activate one or more of the responsible gaming tools described above, or contact our support team for guidance.

01
Do you find yourself spending more money or time gambling on hb998 than you originally intended when you started a session?
02
Have you ever tried to cut back on your gambling activity on hb998 and found it difficult or impossible to do so?
03
Do you gamble on hb998 in order to recover losses from a previous session — sometimes called "chasing losses"?
04
Have friends, family members, or colleagues in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or elsewhere expressed concern about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?
05
Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or delayed paying essential bills in order to fund gambling on hb998 or any other platform?
06
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to gamble, or do you use gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?
07
Have you neglected work responsibilities, family commitments, or personal health in favour of spending more time gambling online?
Remember: Answering honestly is the first step. hb998's responsible gaming team is here to support you — not to judge you. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

What to Do if Gambling Becomes a Problem

If you believe your gambling habits are having a negative impact on your life — financially, emotionally, or socially — hb998 urges you to take action as early as possible. There are several concrete steps you can take right now:

Log in to your hb998 account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. Activate self-exclusion for a minimum of 6 months. This will prevent you from accessing your hb998 account, making deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay, and receiving any promotional communications from hb998 for the duration of the exclusion. If you are unable to log in, email [email protected] with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request" and our team will process it for you within 24 hours.

Talking to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional about your gambling can be a powerful first step toward recovery. Many people experiencing problem gambling feel shame or isolation — sharing what you are going through can ease that burden and open up practical support options you may not have considered.

Take stock of your finances. If gambling has led to debt — for example through bKash or Nagad mobile wallet overspending, credit card debt, or borrowed money — consider speaking with a financial counsellor or your local bank (Dutch-Bangla Bank, City Bank, BRAC Bank, Sonali Bank) about debt management options. Removing saved payment methods from your hb998 account and other gambling platforms can reduce the ease of impulse deposits.

Problem gambling often fills a gap — boredom, stress, routine. Identifying new activities to replace the time previously spent gambling significantly improves recovery outcomes. Consider physical exercise, reconnecting with family and friends in your community, pursuing a hobby, or voluntary work. Structured daily routines make it far easier to avoid the impulse to gamble.

Protecting Minors

hb998 takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. The hb998 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. All new account registrations require age verification, and additional KYC checks are performed at withdrawal or whenever account activity generates an age-related flag in our monitoring system.

If you share a device with younger family members — children or teenagers in your household in Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Sylhet, or anywhere across Bangladesh — hb998 strongly recommends the following practical steps to prevent underage access to online gambling platforms:

  • Always log out of your hb998 account when you finish a session, especially on shared devices or mobile phones.
  • Do not save your hb998 login credentials (username or password) in the browser on a shared device.
  • Use device-level parental controls available on Android and iOS to restrict access to gambling websites for younger users on shared devices.
  • Keep your hb998 login credentials strictly private. Never share your username or password with any other person, including family members.
  • Contact hb998 immediately at [email protected] if you have any reason to believe a minor has accessed or is attempting to access your hb998 account.
Mandatory Age Check: If hb998 has reasonable grounds to believe that a player may be under the age of 21, the account will be suspended immediately and a mandatory identity and age verification process will be initiated before the account can be reinstated.

hb998 Responsible Gaming Policy Standards

hb998 operates its responsible gaming programme in accordance with the following core policy standards, which apply to all players across Bangladesh:

  • hb998 will never knowingly allow a person under the age of 21 to open or operate a real-money account.

  • hb998 will not allow players to use credit cards or borrowed funds as the primary funding source for gambling deposits.

  • hb998 will process all self-exclusion requests within 24 hours without requiring the player to provide a reason or justification.
  • hb998 staff involved in customer support and responsible gaming receive specific training to identify and sensitively handle disclosures related to problem gambling.

hb998 Responsible Gaming at a Glance

A quick overview of the six pillars that underpin hb998's commitment to safe and responsible gambling for all players across Bangladesh.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps in ৳ BDT directly from your account settings. Reductions apply instantly; increases require a mandatory 7-day cooling period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Self-Exclusion

Take a break of 6 months or more from all hb998 products. Once activated, self-exclusion blocks logins, deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay, and suppresses all marketing communications for the full duration.

Session Time Limits

Define how long any single gaming session on hb998 can last — from 30 minutes to 8 hours. When the limit is reached, hb998 alerts you and can automatically log you out, keeping your playtime firmly in your hands.

Reality Checks

Receive pop-up notifications at intervals of your choosing during active sessions, showing your net session result in ৳ BDT and total time played. A simple but highly effective tool to stay grounded during longer slots or live casino sessions.

Cooling-Off Periods

Need a short pause without committing to a long self-exclusion? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Your account and balance are safely preserved and become accessible again once the period ends.

Loss Limits

Cap the net ৳ BDT amount you are prepared to lose within a day, week, or month. Once your loss threshold is reached, hb998 prevents further wagering until the period resets — so you never exceed the amount you agreed with yourself.
