Our Commitment to Player Safety

At 18bd, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core pillar of everything we do. We believe that gaming and cricket betting should be a form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress, anxiety, or harm. We are committed to providing every player in Bangladesh with the tools, information, and support they need to make informed decisions about their gaming activity.

Our responsible gaming framework covers four key areas: strict age verification to ensure only adults aged 18 and above can register and play; a suite of practical account management tools including deposit limits, session time limits, and cooling-off periods; a robust self-exclusion programme for players who wish to take an extended break; and 24/7 access to our responsible gaming support team.

We partner with recognised problem gambling awareness organisations and integrate their guidance into our platform policies. Our support team receives specialist training to identify and sensitively assist players who may be experiencing difficulty managing their gaming habits. We treat all responsible gaming enquiries with complete confidentiality.

18bd does not encourage players to chase losses, gamble beyond their means, or view gaming as a reliable source of income. All games on our platform are governed by certified Random Number Generator (RNG) technology, ensuring fair and unpredictable outcomes at all times. No strategy, system, or pattern of play can reliably predict or influence the outcome of any game.

Safe Platform

SSL encryption and certified fair-play systems protect every transaction and game session.

Verified Players

KYC identity checks confirm age and identity before any player can deposit or withdraw funds.

24/7 Support

Our responsible gaming team is available around the clock, every day of the year.

Free Tools

All responsible gaming tools — limits, time-outs, self-exclusion — are completely free to use.

Age Policy

18+ Age Restriction Policy

18bd operates strictly as an adults-only platform. We do not permit any person under the age of 18 years to register an account, make deposits, place bets, or participate in any gaming activity on our platform. This policy is absolute and applies to every player across Bangladesh, regardless of the payment method used or the game type accessed.

How We Enforce the 18+ Rule

Age verification is a mandatory step in the 18bd registration process. Every new player is required to submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as their National Identity Card (NID) or passport — confirming their date of birth. Our KYC team reviews all submitted documents before an account is fully activated for real-money play.

  • Account registration requires submission of a date of birth, which is cross-referenced against uploaded identity documents.
  • Deposits and withdrawals are only permitted after successful KYC verification, which confirms the player is aged 18 or above.
  • Players found to have provided false age information during registration will have their accounts permanently closed and all funds held pending investigation.
  • Any winnings accumulated by an underage player are not payable and will be forfeited.

Protecting Minors in Your Household

If you share a device or computer with someone under the age of 18, we strongly recommend taking steps to prevent access to the 18bd platform. Always log out of your account when your session is complete, use a strong and unique password that you do not share, and consider installing parental control software on shared devices.

Important: If you suspect that a minor has accessed the 18bd platform using your account or any other account, please contact our responsible gaming team immediately at support@18bd.club. We will investigate the matter promptly and confidentially.

Adults Only — 18+

Gaming on 18bd is exclusively for players aged 18 years and above. Providing false age information during registration is a violation of our Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account closure.

18+ Only — No Exceptions
Account Controls

Responsible Gaming Tools

18bd provides every registered player with a set of free, easy-to-use account management tools designed to help you maintain control over your gaming activity. These tools can be accessed at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. All limits and restrictions take effect immediately upon request.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the limit period resets. Limits can be reduced instantly but increases take 7 days to take effect — giving you time to reconsider.

Instant Reduction

Session Time Limits

Define a maximum session duration for each gaming visit. When your session limit is reached, you will receive an on-screen notification and the option to end your session. You can also enable automatic session logout, which closes your account session without requiring a manual action.

Real-Time Tracking

Loss Limits

Set a cap on the amount you are willing to lose within a given time period. Once your loss limit is reached, further wagering is temporarily suspended for the remainder of that period. This tool helps prevent chasing losses — one of the most common patterns associated with problem gambling.

Available on Request

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming by activating a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During this period, your account remains open but real-money gaming and deposits are suspended. Your account balance is preserved and withdrawals remain available.

24h / 48h / 7 Days

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing and the net outcome of your session. Reality checks appear at intervals you choose — every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 90 minutes — and prompt you to review whether you wish to continue playing.

Customisable Intervals

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming is no longer a source of entertainment and is causing harm, you can request a self-exclusion from your account. Self-exclusion suspends all gaming activity and deposits for a minimum period of 6 months, with longer options available up to permanent closure.

Immediate Effect
How to Activate These Tools: All responsible gaming tools can be activated from the Account Settings section of your 18bd profile, or by sending a request to support@18bd.club with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request". Our team will action your request within 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Self-Exclusion

Self-Exclusion Programme

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on 18bd. It is designed for players who recognise that their gambling has become, or risks becoming, harmful to themselves or their family, and who want to commit to a meaningful break from gaming activity. Self-exclusion is a serious step, and we take it seriously — all requests are actioned immediately and enforced with no exceptions.

What Self-Exclusion Covers

  • All real-money casino games, including slots, live casino, Teen Patti, Andar Bahar, and table games.
  • All cricket betting and sports wagering activity.
  • All deposits to your 18bd account wallet.
  • Receipt of any promotional offers, bonus notifications, or marketing communications.
  • Access to game lobbies and betting markets (account login may be restricted depending on exclusion type).

Exclusion Duration Options

  • 6 months — minimum self-exclusion period for short-term breaks.
  • 1 year — recommended for players experiencing moderate difficulty.
  • 3 years — for players requiring an extended period of separation from gaming.
  • Permanent — irrevocable lifetime exclusion with no re-registration permitted.
Important: Self-exclusion periods cannot be shortened or reversed once activated. If you request re-registration during an active exclusion period, your application will be declined and your exclusion record will be flagged. Attempting to circumvent a self-exclusion by registering under a different name or mobile number is a serious violation of our Terms & Conditions.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

  1. Log in to your 18bd account and navigate to Account Settings, then select the Responsible Gaming tab.
  2. Select "Self-Exclusion" from the available tools and choose your preferred exclusion duration.
  3. Confirm your identity by entering your registered mobile number and the one-time verification code sent to it.
  4. Your self-exclusion will be activated immediately. You will receive a confirmation email at your registered address.
  5. Alternatively, contact our support team at support@18bd.club with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and we will process it within 30 minutes.

What Happens to Your Balance?

If you have a remaining balance in your account wallet at the time of self-exclusion, you may submit a withdrawal request before the exclusion is fully enforced. Our team will process the withdrawal to your registered bKash, Nagad, or bank account within 24 hours. If you do not submit a withdrawal request, your balance will be held securely in your account and will be available for withdrawal when your exclusion period ends (for non-permanent exclusions).

For permanent self-exclusion requests, our team will contact you to arrange a final balance withdrawal before the account is permanently closed.

Confidential & Respectful: All self-exclusion requests are handled with complete discretion by a specialist member of our responsible gaming team. We will not ask you to justify your decision or attempt to persuade you to reconsider. Your welfare comes first, always.

Need to Self-Exclude Now?

Contact our responsible gaming team right away. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Email us at support@18bd.club with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request" and include your registered username.

Problem Gambling

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. Many players who experience gambling-related harm do not identify it as a problem until it has significantly affected their finances, relationships, or mental wellbeing. The following warning signs are commonly associated with problematic gambling behaviour. If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we encourage you to reach out for support without delay.

Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, or more than you can comfortably afford to lose.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to gamble, or when you try to cut back.

Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost in a session.

Borrowing money from family or friends, or selling personal possessions, to fund gaming activity.

Lying to family members or close friends about how often you gamble or how much money you spend.

Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, depression, anxiety, or problems in daily life.

Neglecting work, study, family responsibilities, or personal health in order to spend more time gambling.

Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back, control, or stop gambling on your own.

Thinking about gambling constantly — planning your next session, reliving past wins, or calculating how to recover losses.

Continuing to gamble despite serious negative consequences for your finances, relationships, or mental health.

You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling is a recognised condition, not a personal failing. Many people across Bangladesh and around the world are affected. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, and early intervention significantly improves outcomes. 18bd's support team is trained to assist and will connect you with appropriate resources.
Support Resources

Getting Help & Support

If you believe that gambling is causing harm to you or someone close to you, there are several ways to access help. 18bd's responsible gaming team is your first point of contact, and we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Beyond our internal team, we encourage affected players to seek independent support from qualified professionals.

Contact 18bd Responsible Gaming Support

Send an email to support@18bd.club with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Support". Our specialist team will respond within 30 minutes and can assist you with activating any responsible gaming tool, initiating self-exclusion, arranging account closure, or simply providing a confidential space to discuss your concerns.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Speaking openly with a trusted family member, friend, or community elder about your gambling habits can be an important first step. Many players find that sharing their concern with someone close to them significantly reduces the shame and secrecy that can sustain problematic gambling patterns. In Bangladesh, community and family support networks are often an important and effective source of early assistance.

Seek Professional Counselling

If gambling-related stress is affecting your mental health, we encourage you to consult a qualified mental health professional. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is particularly effective in addressing the thought patterns associated with problem gambling. Your GP or a local mental health clinic in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or other major cities can provide a referral.

Confidential Support: All communications with 18bd's responsible gaming team are treated with complete confidentiality. We will never share information about your responsible gaming status with other players, and we will not use it to influence marketing decisions directed at you.

Safe Habits

Safe Gaming Tips for Players

The most effective responsible gaming strategy is one that begins before a session starts — not after losses have accumulated. The following guidelines are recommended by 18bd for all players across Bangladesh who want to keep their gaming activity enjoyable, sustainable, and within healthy boundaries.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing before you start any session. Treat this as the cost of entertainment — not as an investment. Never exceed this amount, regardless of outcomes during the session.

Use a Time Limit Every Session

Decide in advance how long you will play. Set an alarm or use 18bd's built-in session time limit feature. When the time is up, log out — regardless of whether you are ahead or behind on your balance.

Play for Fun, Not for Income

Online gaming and sports betting are forms of entertainment. The house edge ensures that, over time, gambling is not a reliable source of income. Approach every session as you would a cinema ticket — an amount spent for enjoyment, with no guaranteed return.

Never Chase Your Losses

Increasing your bets or extending a session to try to recover losses is one of the most common pathways to serious gambling harm. If you have reached your budget limit, close the session. Losses are part of gaming — accept them and step away.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from your screen every 30 to 60 minutes. Fatigue and prolonged concentration reduce decision-making quality and increase impulsive betting behaviour. A short break refreshes your perspective and helps you re-evaluate your session calmly.

Avoid Gaming Under Stress

Do not use gaming as a way to cope with stress, boredom, financial pressure, or emotional difficulty. Gaming while emotionally distressed impairs judgement and significantly increases the risk of spending beyond your intended budget.

Remember: Responsible gaming is about maintaining control and keeping the experience enjoyable. If at any point gaming stops feeling like entertainment, that is a signal to pause, use one of our account tools, or reach out to our support team. You are always in control at 18bd.
