Responsible Gaming at 389bet
389bet is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all players in Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming framework gives you the tools and information needed to stay in control at all times.
Our commitment: Gambling at 389bet is meant to be entertainment — not a way to earn income or escape problems. We provide practical tools, clear information, and dedicated support to help every member maintain a healthy relationship with gaming. If you ever feel concerned about your play, we are here to help immediately.
Playing Responsibly Starts Here
At 389bet, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that every player in Bangladesh deserves a platform that actively supports informed, controlled, and enjoyable gambling. Whether you enjoy cricket betting during the BPL season, live casino tables, or the latest slot titles, our responsible gaming tools are always available directly through your account.
The vast majority of people who gamble do so without any issues. They set a budget, enjoy the entertainment, and move on. However, we recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can become problematic. Problem gambling can develop gradually, and the warning signs are not always obvious early on. That is why 389bet takes a proactive approach — building protective features into the platform itself and making support easy to access at any moment.
This page explains the full range of responsible gaming tools available on 389bet, the warning signs of problem gambling, how to use our self-exclusion and limit-setting features, and where to turn if you need outside support. All tools described on this page are available free of charge to every verified member. 21+ only — no person under the age of 21 is permitted to hold or use a 389bet account.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
Six practical controls built directly into the 389bet platform — available to every member around the clock.
Strict 21+ Age Policy
389bet enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years across all of its services — casino games, sports betting, crash games, and live dealer tables. Before any withdrawal is processed, every member must complete our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process, which requires submission of a valid government-issued photo ID (Bangladesh NID or passport) confirming date of birth.
Accounts found to belong to individuals under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended, all balances frozen, and the matter escalated in accordance with applicable legal and platform policy requirements. Any winnings generated during underage play will be forfeited. 389bet takes underage gambling extremely seriously and has zero tolerance for attempts to circumvent age controls.
For parents and guardians: If you share a device with a younger family member, we strongly recommend installing parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites. Tools such as device-level screen time controls available on Android and iOS can be used to restrict browser and app access to gambling platforms entirely.
Self-Exclusion & Time-Out in Detail
Log in to your 389bet account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section within your account settings. Select "Self-Exclusion", choose your exclusion duration (30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent), and confirm your request. The exclusion takes effect immediately — you will be logged out and blocked from logging back in for the full duration. Alternatively, contact our support team at [email protected] and we will apply the exclusion manually, typically within one hour of your request.
If you need a brief pause rather than a full exclusion, the time-out feature suspends your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The time-out cannot be cancelled early once activated — this is intentional, ensuring the break serves its purpose. Time-outs do not affect any pending withdrawals already in processing.
After a fixed-term self-exclusion expires, your account is not automatically reactivated. You must contact support and undergo a brief re-assessment before account access is restored. This cooling-off step is designed to ensure you are returning with a clear head and in a healthy mindset. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
Access the Limits section of your account settings at any time. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits (denominated in Bangladeshi Taka — ৳) and net-loss limits. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit — or removing one — requires a mandatory 7-day waiting period before the change becomes active. This built-in delay protects you from impulsive decisions during a gambling session.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Honest self-assessment matters. Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. The questions below are designed to help you reflect honestly on your relationship with gambling. If several of these statements feel familiar, it is worth taking action now — support is available and genuinely helps.
- You gamble with money meant for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses.
- You chase losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.
- You feel irritable, anxious, or restless when you are not gambling or when you try to stop.
- You have lied to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling.
- You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or taken out loans to fund your gambling.
- Gambling has caused significant arguments or tension in your personal relationships.
- You find yourself thinking about gambling constantly, even when you are at work, studying, or with family.
- You have tried to cut back or stop gambling but have been unable to do so on your own.
- You use gambling as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, boredom, or emotional distress.
- You gamble for longer than you intended, even after telling yourself you would stop.
If you recognise yourself in three or more of the above statements, we strongly encourage you to contact 389bet support immediately to apply a self-exclusion or time-out, and to reach out to a qualified counselling service. You do not need to be at crisis point — the earlier you seek help, the easier recovery is.
Habits of a Healthy Player
Responsible gambling is not about avoiding fun — it is about keeping gambling in its proper place as one leisure activity among many. The following habits are practised by players who maintain a positive, sustainable relationship with online gaming:
- Set a budget before you start. Decide the maximum amount you are comfortable losing before each session and stick to it. Only ever gamble with disposable income — never with money earmarked for necessities.
- Treat losses as the cost of entertainment. View gambling losses the same way you would view the cost of a cinema ticket or a meal out — an amount you are willing to spend for the experience, with no expectation of return.
- Take regular breaks. Use the session timer feature to prompt yourself to step away every 30 to 60 minutes. Physical movement, a glass of water, and fresh air reset your perspective effectively.
- Never chase losses. If you have reached your session budget, stop. The most dangerous gambling decisions are made immediately after a loss, when emotions are highest and rational thinking is lowest.
- Balance gambling with other activities. Gambling should be one small part of a varied leisure life. If you notice gambling is crowding out other hobbies, social time, or responsibilities, recalibrate before the imbalance becomes entrenched.
- Avoid gambling under the influence. Alcohol and other substances impair judgement and risk assessment significantly. Intoxicated gambling decisions are almost always regretted.
- Review your activity statements monthly. Numbers tell a clearer story than memory. Looking at your actual spend and play duration monthly provides an objective picture that self-perception alone cannot offer.
Getting Support
If gambling is causing distress in your life — financially, emotionally, or in your relationships — reaching out is the most important step you can take. 389bet's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to help you apply account protections, answer questions about responsible gaming tools, or simply listen without judgement.
Contact 389bet Support: Email our team at [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request" for priority handling. Our team will respond promptly and treat your communication with full confidentiality.
Beyond 389bet's internal support, we encourage members who feel gambling is becoming a serious problem to seek guidance from qualified counselling services. Professional counsellors who specialise in gambling addiction provide a structured, evidence-based path to recovery that goes well beyond what a platform support team can offer. If your gambling is affecting your mental health, your finances, or your family — please seek that professional support. You deserve it, and recovery is achievable.
For immediate account protections (self-exclusion, deposit limits, time-outs) or to discuss any responsible gaming concern, contact our support team. Email: [email protected]. All responsible gaming requests are treated as priority and handled with full confidentiality.
If you believe you have a gambling problem, consider speaking with a qualified mental health professional or addiction counsellor in Bangladesh. Many offer confidential consultations. Your general physician can provide referrals to appropriate local services in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and other major cities.
If a family member or close friend is struggling with problem gambling, third parties may contact 389bet support on behalf of the affected person to request that responsible gaming measures are applied to the relevant account. We take these requests seriously and investigate all third-party concerns with care.
389bet's Platform Commitments
Beyond individual tools, 389bet operates at the platform level to reduce gambling-related harm for all members. Our ongoing commitments include:
- No targeting of vulnerable players: 389bet does not send promotional offers to members who have a self-exclusion on record, have activated a time-out, or have indicated distress to our support team. Promotional communications are suppressed for these accounts automatically.
- Proactive monitoring: Our platform monitors for behavioural indicators of problem gambling — such as rapid successive deposits, extended unbroken session durations, and patterns of escalating bet sizes — and may proactively reach out to members whose activity suggests concern.
- No credit or loan products: 389bet does not offer credit facilities, loans, or any mechanism by which a member can bet beyond the funds held in their verified account. Deposits must be funded from the member's own verified payment method.
- Transparent game information: All games on the 389bet platform display their return-to-player (RTP) percentage and volatility rating. This information is available before play begins, allowing members to make informed choices about which games to play.
- Staff training: 389bet customer support staff receive regular training on responsible gaming protocols, how to identify signs of problem gambling in member interactions, and how to apply account protections promptly and sensitively.
- Regular policy review: This Responsible Gaming Policy is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect best practices in player protection and harm minimisation.
We are proud of the responsible gaming framework we have built, but we recognise it is an ongoing responsibility — not a completed task. We remain committed to improving our tools and practices as the industry evolves and as our understanding of player wellbeing deepens.
