Responsible Gaming at gabaji
Gambling is entertainment — and gabaji is committed to keeping it that way. We provide practical tools and clear guidance so every player in Bangladesh can stay in control of their gaming activity at all times.
At gabaji, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a fundamental part of how we operate. We recognise that while the vast majority of our players enjoy betting on cricket, spinning slots, and playing live casino games purely for fun, a small number of individuals may develop patterns of play that cause harm. Our responsibility is to provide every player with the information and tools needed to keep gambling enjoyable and within healthy boundaries.
This page explains the safeguards gabaji has built into our platform, the self-management tools available to every registered player, the warning signs of problem gambling, and how to reach qualified help if gambling ever begins to feel like something other than entertainment. All gabaji players must be 21 years of age or older — this is a firm requirement, not a guideline.
Age Restriction: 21+ Only
play on gabaji
gabaji strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players. During registration, every applicant must confirm they meet this requirement, and our identity verification process independently validates age and identity using government-issued documents such as the National ID (NID) or passport.
Accounts found to belong to players under 21 are permanently closed without delay. Any deposits made by underage players are returned to the originating payment method after verification. We also actively work to prevent underage access by monitoring unusual account behaviour that may indicate misrepresentation of age.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor may have accessed or registered a gabaji account, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act without delay.
Our Responsible Gaming Tools
Six practical controls you can activate on your gabaji account at any time.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when set, but increases require a 48-hour cooling-off period before they become active — a deliberate delay that gives you time to reconsider.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing in a given period. When your net losses reach the limit you have set, betting activity is automatically suspended for the rest of that period. Like deposit limits, reductions apply immediately while increases carry a 48-hour delay.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration. When the limit is reached, you will receive a clear notification and the option to log out. You choose the duration — from 30 minutes to several hours — and gabaji enforces it automatically so you never lose track of how long you have been playing.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic reality-check notifications that appear on screen at intervals you select. Each notification shows how long you have been active in the current session and how much you have wagered, giving you a clear, factual moment of reflection without interrupting gameplay permanently.
Time-Out (Short Break)
Need a short break? A time-out suspends your gabaji account for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or wager. The time-out cannot be reversed once activated. This tool is designed for players who recognise they need a brief pause rather than a permanent break.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure for players who feel they need an extended break from gambling. You may request a self-exclusion period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent exclusion. During this period your account is deactivated and you will not receive any marketing communications from gabaji. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] — we will process your request within 24 hours and the exclusion will be confirmed in writing.
How to Access Your Controls
All responsible gaming tools are accessible directly from your gabaji account settings once you are logged in. Navigate to Account → Responsible Gaming to find deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, reality checks, and time-out options. Changes to limits and time-out activations are processed in real time.
Self-exclusion requests must be submitted via written communication to [email protected] because they involve a permanent or long-term account deactivation that requires manual confirmation from our player welfare team. We aim to complete all self-exclusion requests within 24 hours of receiving your written instruction.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Honest self-reflection is the first step. Review the signs below.
- You spend more money on gambling than you originally intended, regularly exceeding the budget you set for yourself.
- You chase losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
- Gambling occupies a significant amount of your thoughts, even when you are not actively playing.
- You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
- You conceal the extent of your gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.
- You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or neglected bills in order to fund gambling activity.
- Gambling has begun to negatively affect your work, studies, relationships, or mental health.
- You view gambling as a primary source of income or a reliable way to solve financial problems.
Experiencing one or more of these signs does not mean you are beyond help — quite the opposite. Awareness is the starting point for positive change. Whether you choose to use gabaji's built-in tools, take a time-out, request self-exclusion, or speak to a professional counsellor, support is available and effective.
Tips for Healthy Play
Simple habits that keep gambling enjoyable and in perspective.
Set a Budget Before You Start
Decide exactly how much you can comfortably afford to lose before you log in. Use gabaji's deposit limit tool to lock that amount in place so your decision made in a calm state governs your session — not the excitement of the moment.
Use Session Timers
Time passes quickly during engaging gameplay. Set a session timer to receive a neutral notification when your planned play time is up. This simple habit prevents unplanned extended sessions that often lead to overspending.
Never Gamble Under Stress
Emotional states such as stress, anxiety, grief, or anger impair judgment. Gambling while emotionally distressed significantly increases the risk of chasing losses or making bets that feel rational in the moment but are not.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen at regular intervals — stand up, drink some water, and check in with yourself. Brief physical breaks reset your perspective and help you evaluate whether you are still playing for enjoyment.
Treat Losses as the Cost of Entertainment
Approach gambling the same way you would a night out or a cinema ticket — you go in expecting to spend a set amount for a good time, not expecting to profit. This mindset removes the emotional pressure to "win back" what you have spent.
Do Not Borrow to Gamble
Gambling with borrowed money — whether from friends, family, or financial products — dramatically amplifies the potential harm. Only ever gamble with discretionary funds you can genuinely afford to part with.
gabaji's Commitments to You
We Will Never Pressure You to Play
gabaji does not use aggressive re-engagement tactics that target players who are on a time-out or self-exclusion. Players who have activated any protective measure are automatically removed from promotional mailing lists and will not receive bonus offers, free-spin incentives, or deposit match promotions for the duration of their chosen restriction period.
We Train Our Support Team on Player Welfare
Every member of the gabaji customer support team is trained to identify player welfare concerns and escalate them to our dedicated responsible gaming team. If you reach out about anything that suggests your gambling may be causing harm, your message will be treated with the utmost care and confidentiality — never dismissed as a routine support ticket.
We Monitor Unusual Playing Patterns
gabaji's platform monitors account activity for patterns that may indicate problem gambling — such as dramatically increased bet sizes following a big loss, very long unbroken sessions, or sudden shifts in deposit frequency. Where our system flags a concern, a player welfare team member may reach out proactively to check in and share available support options.
We Protect Player Funds
Player funds held on account are kept separate from gabaji's operational capital. Your balance is your money, and our withdrawal processes are designed to be straightforward so that accessing your funds is never used as a barrier to stopping play. Withdrawal requests from players who are also requesting a time-out or self-exclusion are processed as a priority.
Get Support Now
You do not have to deal with gambling concerns alone. Here is how to reach help.
Contact gabaji Player Welfare
Write to our dedicated responsible gaming team any time. Describe your situation clearly and include "Responsible Gaming" in the subject line. We respond to welfare-related messages as a priority — typically within a few hours.
[email protected]Talking to Someone You Trust
Sometimes the most effective first step is an honest conversation with a family member or close friend. Many people find that speaking openly about concerns with someone they trust — before seeking formal help — reduces the sense of isolation that often accompanies problem gambling. You do not need to have all the answers before you start the conversation.
Professional Counselling
If you feel gambling has become a serious problem, speaking with a qualified mental health professional or addiction counsellor is strongly recommended. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and structured support programmes have well-documented effectiveness for gambling-related harm. gabaji does not provide counselling services directly, but we encourage players to seek professional guidance without delay. Our support team can point you towards general information about accessing mental health services in Bangladesh upon request.
