Responsible Gaming
at bh998
At bh998, we believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control at all times.
Gaming That Stays Fun and Safe
bh998 is committed to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and beyond. Responsible gaming is not a checkbox for us; it is a foundational value that informs how we design our platform, our policies, and our player support services.
We understand that for the vast majority of players, betting on cricket, spinning slots, or enjoying a live casino session is a form of entertainment with a defined budget and a clear stop point. However, we also recognise that for a small number of individuals, gambling can develop into a problem that affects their finances, mental health, and personal relationships. For those players, bh998 has built a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools and a round-the-clock support structure.
All responsible gaming features on bh998 are available free of charge. No player is ever penalised for using deposit limits, session timers, or self-exclusion. We actively encourage every player to engage with these tools and to contact our support team at any time — without judgement.
Six Tools to Keep You in Control
Every responsible gaming tool on bh998 is built into your account dashboard. You can activate or adjust any of them at any time by contacting our support team at [email protected] or through the account settings panel.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be decreased immediately; increases take 7 days to take effect, giving you time to reconsider. This tool is the most practical first step for any player who wants to keep their spending within a predetermined budget.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you can lose in a given period — daily, weekly, or monthly. If your net losses reach the limit you have set, your ability to place further bets is paused until the period resets. Loss limits work in parallel with deposit limits and provide an additional safety net for players who want to protect themselves from chasing losing streaks during a session.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum playing session duration. When the limit is reached, bh998 will display a clear notification reminding you that your session time is up. You may also enable automatic logout at the end of each session. Time limits help prevent the kind of extended, distracted gameplay that can lead to poor decision-making and budget overruns.
Time-Out / Cooling-Off Period
Take a structured break from bh998 for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is temporarily suspended: no deposits, no bets, no casino access. Time-outs take effect immediately upon request and cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. This tool is ideal when you feel you need a short reset without committing to a longer exclusion.
Self-Exclusion
Request a self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully blocked. You will not receive any marketing communications, bonus offers, or promotional materials. bh998 will make every reasonable effort to honour a self-exclusion request immediately upon receipt. Self-exclusion is the appropriate tool for players who feel that gambling is causing significant harm and that they need a firm, long-term barrier.
Marketing Opt-Out
Remove yourself from all bh998 promotional communications — bonus offer emails, SMS alerts, seasonal promotion notifications (Eid specials, BPL cricket season offers, Pohela Boishakh bonuses) — without affecting your ability to use the platform. For players in self-exclusion, marketing opt-out is applied automatically. All other players can request removal from marketing lists at any time with no questions asked.
How to Activate a Responsible Gaming Tool
Activating any responsible gaming protection on bh998 is straightforward. Our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including during Eid, Pohela Boishakh, BPL match days, and all public holidays — to process your request immediately.
All responsible gaming requests are treated with strict confidentiality. Your account status and request history are never shared with any third party except as required by law.
Log In to Your bh998 Account
Access your player account using your registered username and password at bh998.io. If you are unable to log in or have forgotten your credentials, contact [email protected] and our team will assist you within minutes.
Navigate to Account Settings or Contact Support
Go to your account settings panel where responsible gaming tools are listed under the "Player Protection" section. Alternatively, contact our support team directly via live chat or by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request".
Select the Tool You Need
Choose from deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, cooling-off period, self-exclusion, or marketing opt-out. You may activate more than one tool simultaneously. Each tool has its own configuration options — for example, deposit limits can be set per day, per week, or per month.
Set Your Parameters and Confirm
Enter the specific values for your chosen tool — for example, a daily deposit limit of ৳2,000 or a 7-day cooling-off period. Review your selection and confirm. Protective measures (limits reductions, time-outs, self-exclusions) take effect immediately. Limit increases follow a 7-day cooling-off period before activation.
Receive Confirmation
You will receive an email confirmation to your registered address confirming that the responsible gaming tool has been activated on your account. Keep this email as a record. If you do not receive confirmation within 30 minutes, contact our support team immediately.
Recognising a Gambling Problem
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious from the outside — or even to the person experiencing it. The following signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond healthy entertainment.
Warning Signs to Watch For
If you recognise three or more of the following patterns in your own behaviour, we encourage you to use bh998's responsible gaming tools and to seek additional support.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose.
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or school fees.
- Borrowing money from family, friends, or lenders to fund gambling activities.
- Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to reduce or stop gambling.
- Spending increasing amounts of time gambling, to the point where it affects work, study, or family responsibilities.
- Hiding gambling activity or losses from family members or close friends.
- Gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, loneliness, or other negative emotions.
- Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back on gambling or stop entirely.
- Thinking about gambling constantly — replaying past sessions, planning future bets, or calculating expected wins during unrelated activities.
- Neglecting personal hygiene, nutrition, sleep, or physical health because of time spent gambling.
- Lying to, or becoming defensive with, people who express concern about your gambling.
Ask Yourself These Honest Questions
A brief self-assessment is a useful starting point for any player who wants to honestly evaluate their relationship with gambling. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a reflection exercise designed to prompt self-awareness.
Read each question honestly. If you answer "yes" to several of them, we strongly encourage you to activate one or more of bh998's responsible gaming tools and to reach out to our support team.
bh998 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. If you are under 21, please do not attempt to register or access this platform.
Strictly 21+ Only at bh998
bh998 enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players. This is non-negotiable and is actively verified at every stage of the player lifecycle.
Registration Verification
Every new bh998 account requires the player to confirm they are 21 or older during the registration process. Date of birth is a mandatory field and is checked against submitted identity documents.
KYC Document Checks
Before processing any withdrawal, bh998 completes a full KYC check that includes age verification via a government-issued ID such as a National ID card or passport. Accounts that cannot confirm 21+ status are suspended immediately.
Underage Account Action
If bh998 has reason to believe a player is under 21, the account is immediately frozen pending investigation. Any funds in the account at the time of suspension are handled in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Parental Controls Guidance
Parents and guardians in Bangladesh can use third-party internet filtering tools to block access to online gambling sites. We recommend GamBlock, Betfilter, or Gamban to restrict access on shared family devices.
Support is Always Available
If you believe gambling is becoming a problem for you or someone you know, please do not wait. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. bh998's support team is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year — including all Bangladeshi public holidays.
Our dedicated responsible gaming agents are trained to handle sensitive conversations with complete confidentiality and without judgement. Whether you want to set a deposit limit, take a break, or discuss a full self-exclusion, we are here to help you take that step.
For players in Bangladesh who need support beyond what bh998 can provide directly, we recommend speaking with a trusted family member, a mental health professional, or a gambling support counsellor. Seeking professional help is always a positive step toward a healthier relationship with money and entertainment.

The bh998 Responsible Gaming Standard
These are the core principles that guide every responsible gaming decision at bh998 — from product design and marketing to player support and account management.
Entertainment First
Gambling on bh998 is designed as a form of entertainment with a cost — like watching a cricket match at the stadium or going to the cinema. We never promote gambling as a way to make money, solve financial problems, or as a primary source of income. Our marketing always communicates the entertainment value of our platform, not promises of guaranteed winnings.
Transparent Odds and RTP
bh998 publishes Return to Player (RTP) percentages for all slot games and communicates house edge information for casino table games. We believe that informed players make better decisions. Understanding that every game has a built-in house advantage is essential knowledge for responsible gambling.
Responsible Marketing
All bh998 promotional materials comply with responsible gaming standards. We do not target individuals who have self-excluded or opted out of marketing. We do not use advertising that appeals to minors. All bonus offers clearly state their terms, wagering requirements, and expiry conditions upfront.
Staff Training
Every member of the bh998 customer support team receives regular responsible gaming training. Our agents are equipped to recognise the signs of problem gambling in player communications, to respond with empathy and sensitivity, and to guide players toward the appropriate tools and resources without delay.
Data-Driven Player Protection
bh998 uses anonymised behavioural data to identify players who may be at risk. Patterns such as a sudden increase in deposit frequency, longer session durations, or rapid escalation of bet sizes trigger internal responsible gaming reviews. Players identified as potentially at risk may be proactively contacted by our team.
Continuous Improvement
bh998 regularly reviews and updates its responsible gaming policies, tools, and training programmes. We benchmark our standards against international best practices and apply improvements to our platform and processes on an ongoing basis. Player feedback on our responsible gaming features is always welcome at [email protected].
