Responsible Gaming
at bg997
Entertainment should always feel good. bg997 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent platform for every player in Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming programme gives you the tools, guidance, and support to stay in control — because the best gaming experience is one you can sustain.
Gaming That Puts You First
At bg997, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core principle built into every aspect of how we operate. We believe that gambling should be an enjoyable leisure activity, not a source of financial stress or personal harm. That means giving every player in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and across Bangladesh the tools and knowledge they need to stay in control of their play.
Our platform is designed for adults aged 21 years and above. We have a strict zero-tolerance policy for underage gambling, and we invest continuously in age verification technology to enforce this boundary. If at any point you feel your relationship with gambling is changing, bg997 has resources and account controls available around the clock — no waiting, no judgment.
Responsible gaming at bg997 covers four pillars: prevention (keeping underage and vulnerable players off the platform), awareness (helping you recognise problem gambling behaviours early), control (giving you practical tools to manage your activity), and support (connecting you with help when you need it most).
What is Responsible Gaming? Responsible gaming means treating gambling as a form of paid entertainment — setting a budget you are comfortable losing, playing for enjoyment rather than profit, and stopping when it stops being fun. bg997 supports this approach through account-level tools and 24/7 support.
Who Should Not Gamble? Gambling is not suitable for everyone. You should not gamble if you are under 21 years of age, if you are in financial difficulty, if you are using borrowed money, if you are recovering from a gambling problem, or if gambling has previously caused harm to you or your family.
If gambling is no longer fun — if you are chasing losses, hiding your activity from family, or feeling anxious when you are not playing — please reach out to bg997 support immediately at [email protected]. Help is available 24/7 in Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).
Take Control of Your Play
bg997 provides a suite of practical tools directly within your account settings. You can activate, adjust, or escalate any of these protections at any time — no cooldown required to make your limits more restrictive.
Daily, Weekly & Monthly Deposit Caps
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month in BDT. Once your limit is reached, the platform will not process additional deposits until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit has a 48-hour cooling-off period to protect against impulsive decisions.
Net Loss Ceilings per Period
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a defined time period. When your net loss reaches the threshold you have set, bg997 will prevent further wagering until the period ends. This tool is particularly useful for players who want a hard financial boundary rather than relying solely on deposit controls.
Time-Based Session Controls
Set a maximum session duration in hours or minutes. When your session limit is reached, bg997 will display a notification and log you out automatically. You can also enable on-screen reality-check reminders at set intervals (e.g., every 30 or 60 minutes) to keep you aware of how long you have been playing.
Short-Term Account Pause
Need a short break? Activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place wagers. Your account balance is preserved and withdrawals remain available. Time-outs cannot be reversed once activated — this is intentional to give the cooling-off period full effect.
Long-Term Account Closure
If you feel you need a longer break from gambling, bg997 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent closure. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended — no login, no deposits, no wagering. bg997 will also suppress all marketing communications to you for the duration of your exclusion.
Stop Promotional Communications
You can opt out of all bonus offers, promotional emails, and push notifications at any time through your account communication preferences. Reducing the frequency of promotional triggers is a recognised harm-reduction measure, and bg997 makes this control immediate — there is no waiting period to stop receiving marketing.
Recognising Problem Gambling Early
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early warning signs — in yourself or someone close to you — is the most important step toward getting back in control. If any of the following patterns feel familiar, please reach out for help.
Chasing Losses
Returning to gamble after a loss in order to win back money, or increasing bet sizes after losing sessions to recover deficits faster.
Hiding Your Gambling
Concealing gaming activity, withdrawal amounts, or deposit frequency from family members, partners, or close friends in Dhaka or elsewhere.
Gambling with Money You Cannot Afford
Using bKash, Nagad, or bank funds earmarked for rent, utilities, groceries, or other essentials to fund gambling activity.
Inability to Stop
Feeling unable to walk away from a session even when you intended to stop, or repeatedly failing to stick to time or money limits you set for yourself.
Impact on Relationships
Arguments with family or friends about gambling, neglecting personal or professional responsibilities, or prioritising gaming sessions over important commitments.
Emotional Dependence
Using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, or difficult emotions — feeling restless or irritable when not playing, or gambling to escape personal problems.
Experiencing one or more of these signs does not mean you have a serious problem — but it does mean it is worth taking a step back and reviewing your habits. bg997's self-exclusion and time-out tools are available instantly via your account settings, or you can contact our support team at [email protected] for confidential assistance.
Are You Gambling Responsibly?
The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible gambling assessment frameworks. They are intended to help you reflect honestly on your current gambling habits. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use bg997's account protection tools or seek external support.
This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a self-reflection guide. Honest answers are for your benefit only. bg997 does not monitor your responses to these questions, which you can review privately at any time.
What to do next: If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, consider activating a deposit limit or time-out via your bg997 account settings, or contact our support team for a confidential conversation about the tools available to you.
Reflect honestly — answer Yes or No for each:
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally intended to for that session?
Have you ever borrowed money — from a bank, bKash, a friend, or a family member — specifically to fund gambling activity?
Have you felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you were unable to access a gambling platform?
Have you tried to win back money you lost by continuing to play or by placing larger bets than usual?
Have you hidden or downplayed how much you gamble — or how much you have won or lost — from people close to you?
Has gambling affected your ability to meet financial obligations such as rent, utility bills, or everyday living expenses?
Have you gambled as a way to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other difficult feelings?
Have you previously tried to cut back or stop gambling, but found it difficult to follow through?
Strictly 21+ — No Exceptions
bg997 operates exclusively for adults aged 21 years and above. This is not simply a policy statement — it is enforced through active identity verification during the account registration process and at deposit and withdrawal stages. Players are required to provide valid government-issued identification (National Identity Card, passport, or other accepted documents) before their account is fully activated.
If bg997 has reasonable grounds to suspect that a registered player is under 21 years of age, the account will be suspended immediately pending verification. Any real-money balance will be frozen, and no winnings generated during the under-age period will be payable.
If you are a parent or guardian in Bangladesh and are concerned that a minor in your household may have accessed the bg997 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take corrective action without delay.
Parental controls: We recommend that parents and guardians install parental control software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing any online gambling platform. bg997 supports the use of filtering software as an additional layer of protection alongside our own age verification measures.
Identity Verification (KYC)
All players must submit a valid NID, passport, or driver's licence before full account access is granted. Documents are verified against official records to confirm age and identity.
Account Suspension for Suspected Minors
Any account flagged as potentially belonging to an individual under 21 is suspended immediately. The account remains inaccessible until verification is successfully completed or permanently closed.
No Marketing to Unverified Accounts
bg997 does not send promotional offers, bonus invitations, or marketing communications to accounts that have not completed age and identity verification. All promotional targeting is limited to fully verified adult players.
Support Is Always Available
Whether you need to activate an account control, speak confidentially about your gaming habits, or simply want information about external support organisations, bg997's team is here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including during Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and all public holidays in Bangladesh.

How to Keep Gambling Fun
The following practical guidelines can help you maintain a healthy, enjoyable relationship with gambling on bg997. These are habits shared by players who use the platform sustainably over time.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide in advance the maximum amount in BDT you are comfortable spending in a session — and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment. Use bg997's deposit limit tools to make this boundary automatic rather than relying on willpower alone.
Use Session Time Limits
Before starting a session, set a timer or use bg997's built-in session limit tool. Long unbroken gaming sessions reduce decision quality and increase the likelihood of impulsive betting. Regular breaks keep the experience enjoyable and your decisions clearer.
Never Chase Losses
If you have reached your session budget without a win, stop playing for the day. Increasing your bets to recover losses is the single most common path from recreational gambling to problem gambling. Accept the loss as the cost of entertainment and return another day.
Keep Friends and Family Informed
Gambling that is hidden from those close to you is a warning sign. Sharing your activity openly with a trusted person — and welcoming their honest feedback — is one of the most effective safeguards against problem gambling developing unnoticed.
Do Not Gamble Under Stress
Avoid using bg997 or any gambling platform as a way to cope with difficult emotions, work pressure, family stress, or financial anxiety. Gambling while emotionally distressed leads to poor decisions and can accelerate the development of harmful patterns.
Take Regular Breaks
Plan regular periods away from gambling — at minimum, one day per week with no gaming activity. Use bg997's time-out feature to enforce this automatically. Planned breaks maintain perspective and ensure gambling stays a small, enjoyable part of a balanced lifestyle.
