The Pillars of Responsible Gaming

565bd helps you build healthy gaming habits

Setting Deposit Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be exceeded — so you can never go over budget.

Time Management

Decide in advance how long you will play. Session timers and break reminders will help prevent excessive play and keep you focused on real life.

Reality Check

At set intervals, 565bd will automatically remind you how long you have been playing. These reality checks help you make more conscious decisions.

Voluntary Break

Make the decision yourself to pause gaming for a while. Set a cooling-off period anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks, during which your account will be automatically locked.

Self-Exclusion

If you need an extended break from gaming, use the self-exclusion feature to fully deactivate your account for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years.

Minor Protection

565bd strictly enforces an 18+ policy. The use of parental control software to prevent underage access is strongly recommended, and age verification is rigorously enforced.

What Responsible Gaming Means

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a form of entertainment — not a source of income or an escape from problems. At 565bd, responsible gaming is part of our culture, not a compliance checkbox. We genuinely care about your well-being.

Many people in Bangladesh enjoy online betting and gaming as a great form of entertainment. But like any pastime, moderation is key. 565bd's responsible gaming policy is built on the belief that every member should be able to play for fun and feel good when each session ends.

The three core principles of responsible gaming are: staying within your limits, making informed decisions, and seeking help when needed. Following these principles keeps gaming a positive experience every time.

Keep in mind: Wins and losses are both a normal part of gaming. Playing only to win leads to disappointment. Playing for entertainment makes every session enjoyable.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling doesn't develop overnight — it builds gradually. Watch for these warning signs in yourself or someone close to you:

  • Spending beyond your budget or gaming with borrowed money
  • Feeling a persistent urge to keep playing to win back lost money
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family to spend time gaming
  • Repeatedly trying to stop gaming but returning each time
  • Lying to or hiding gaming activity from family or friends
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gaming
  • Using gaming as an escape from stress, loneliness, or depression
  • Hoping to win through gaming as a way out of financial problems

If you identify with three or more of these signs, consider it a warning signal. Please reach out to our support team.

Assess Yourself

Ask yourself the questions below and answer honestly — this assessment is entirely private and no one else will see it.

Am I spending more than my set budget?

Add up how much BDT you spend on gaming each month. If the number surprises you, it's time to set some limits.

Do I keep telling myself "just one more round"?

If you plan to stop but find you cannot, that is a sign you may be losing control.

Is gaming affecting my daily life?

If gaming is affecting your sleep, eating, work, or relationships, it is time to reconsider your habits.

Am I gaming when I am feeling down?

Using gaming as a way to manage emotions can be harmful in the long run.

If your answers to these questions concern you, follow the protective steps below or reach out to 565bd support.

Steps to Safe Gaming

There are a few simple steps you can take on your own to game responsibly on 565bd. Following these guidelines will keep gaming enjoyable every time:

1
Set a Budget

Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start playing. Set that amount aside as your "entertainment budget" — losing it should not impact your day-to-day life.

2
Set Time Limits

Decide how long you'll play before each session starts. Set a phone alarm or use 565bd's session timer.

3
Set Deposit Limits

Set daily or weekly deposit limits through Account Settings. It is an effective way to protect your finances.

4
Take Regular Breaks

Take at least a 10-minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, drink some water — it helps keep your head clear.

5
Take a break after losses

Don't chase losses after a big losing streak. Step away and make decisions with a clear head the next day.

6
Self-exclude if needed

If you feel gaming is becoming hard to control, activate the self-exclusion feature right away. It takes courage, not weakness.

The Role of Family & Loved Ones

Family members are often the first to notice when someone's gaming habits are becoming a problem. If you believe a family member is struggling with gaming addiction, take the following steps:

  • Talk with empathy, not judgment — express concern without placing blame
  • Give specific examples of where gaming has caused problems at home or at work
  • Contact 565bd Support together or seek professional advice
  • Set gaming-free times or zones at home
  • Encourage alternative entertainment and social activities
  • Install parental control software on devices used by minors

You can report a family member's gaming addiction concerns to 565bd Support. We take third-party reports seriously.

Financial Limits & Budget Planning

Financial awareness is the most important aspect of responsible gaming. Follow the guidelines below for financial protection on 565bd:

  • Only play with money you can afford to lose — never from savings, loans, or emergency funds
  • Keep your gaming budget to a maximum of 5% of your monthly income
  • Avoid gaming with credit cards or borrowed money entirely
  • After a win, consider withdrawing some of your funds — avoid the urge to put it all back in
  • Track and review your gaming spend every month
  • Only play with money left over after covering essential household expenses (rent, bills, education)

Spending Risk Level

1–5% of income — Safe
6–10% of income — Caution zone
11%+ of income — Dangerous
