Responsible Gaming Policy

Play Smart, Play Safe at ongbd

ongbd is committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gambling environment for all players across Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming tools, 18+ policy, and support resources are designed to keep your experience enjoyable and in control — always.

18+ Age Minimum
24/7 Support Available
256-bit SSL Encryption
Free Self-Exclusion Tools
18+ Strictly Enforced

ongbd enforces a strict minimum age of 18 years for all players. Age is verified through our KYC process before any withdrawal is processed. Accounts confirmed to belong to minors are closed immediately.

Self-Exclusion Tools

Players who feel gambling is no longer fun can activate a voluntary self-exclusion period of 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or a permanent ban. During exclusion, your account is locked and all marketing is suspended.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your ongbd account to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 7-day cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

Enable session time alerts to receive on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing. You can set reminders at 30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute intervals to maintain awareness of your play time.

Reality Check Feature

ongbd's reality check tool displays your net gambling activity — total wagered, total won, and net profit or loss — at intervals you configure. This transparency helps you make informed decisions about your session.

24/7 Support Team

ongbd's support team is available around the clock, every day of the year including Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and Victory Day. If gambling is becoming a problem, reach out immediately — our team will guide you to the right tools.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

ongbd is one of Bangladesh's most trusted online casino and sports betting platforms, and that trust is built on a foundation of player safety and responsible conduct. We believe that gambling should be an enjoyable leisure activity — not a source of financial stress, anxiety, or harm. Our responsible gaming programme is not a legal checkbox; it is a genuine operational commitment that shapes how we design our platform, how we train our support team, and how we interact with every player across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh.

The core of our commitment is simple: gambling must remain in your control at all times. ongbd provides a suite of practical tools — deposit limits, session timers, reality checks, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion — that put control directly in your hands. We do not make these tools difficult to find. They are accessible from your account dashboard at any time, with no waiting period for protective measures and no judgment attached to using them.

We also recognise that problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. Players sometimes drift from recreational betting into harmful patterns gradually, without realising it is happening. That is why ongbd actively monitors account activity for indicators of distress — such as unusually rapid increases in bet sizes, frequent deposit reversals, or extended overnight sessions — and may proactively reach out to players who display these patterns, or apply protective measures where necessary.

The ongbd Safe Play Pledge

  • We will never encourage players to chase losses or increase stakes beyond their means.
  • We will process self-exclusion and limit requests without delay or obstruction.
  • We will never send marketing to players who have self-excluded or requested no-contact status.
  • We will train our support team to recognise and respond empathetically to signs of problem gambling.
  • We will enforce our 18+ age policy rigorously and refuse service to any confirmed minor.
  • We will keep our responsible gaming tools free, accessible, and effective for every registered player.
Gambling Is Entertainment, Not Income It is important to approach online casino games and sports betting on ongbd as a form of paid entertainment — similar to going to the cinema or a cricket match. You should only ever wager money you can afford to lose entirely. Never view gambling as a way to earn income, pay debts, or solve financial problems. The house edge means that, over time, the platform will retain a margin on all bets placed.

If you are gambling with money earmarked for rent, food, or family necessities, please use our deposit limit or self-exclusion tools immediately, or contact our support team at [email protected].

18+ Age Restriction

ongbd operates an absolute minimum age policy: no person under the age of 18 may register an account, make a deposit, place a bet, or access any gambling feature on the platform. This policy applies without exception to all players accessing ongbd from Bangladesh or any other location.

At the point of registration, all players are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older. This confirmation is a binding declaration. Any player who provides false information about their age in order to access the platform is in breach of ongbd's Terms & Conditions and may have their account closed and any funds held pending investigation.

Before processing a player's first withdrawal request, ongbd conducts a formal Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. This process requires submission of a valid government-issued identity document — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate — that clearly confirms the player's date of birth. Accounts where the player is confirmed to be under 18 will be closed immediately and the matter treated as a serious compliance violation.

Underage Gambling Is Illegal and Harmful. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a person under 18 in your household may have registered an account on ongbd, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with the subject line "Underage Account Report". We will suspend the account and investigate without delay.

We strongly recommend that parents and guardians in Bangladesh use parental control software to restrict access to online gambling platforms on shared or family devices. Tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in parental controls on Android and iOS devices can be configured to block access to gambling websites by category. ongbd is registered in standard parental control gambling category databases to facilitate this blocking.

MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT

No exceptions. No bypasses.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is one of the most important responsible gaming tools available on ongbd. If you feel that your gambling is getting out of hand, or if you simply want to take a break from the platform, self-exclusion allows you to block access to your account for a defined period — or permanently. This tool is available to all registered players at any time, completely free of charge, and is processed without delay or negotiation.

Exclusion Period Account Access Marketing Communications Reactivation
30 Days Fully locked — login disabled Suspended for the full period Available after 30 days on written request
90 Days Fully locked — login disabled Suspended for the full period Available after 90 days on written request
180 Days Fully locked — login disabled Suspended for the full period Available after 180 days on written request
Permanent Permanently locked — account closed Permanently removed from all lists Not available — permanent exclusion is irreversible

How to activate self-exclusion: Log in to your ongbd account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion. Select your preferred exclusion period and confirm your choice. Alternatively, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request", stating your account username and the exclusion period you want. Your request will be processed within one hour of receipt, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

During a self-exclusion period, ongbd will make every reasonable effort to ensure your account remains inaccessible. However, it remains your responsibility to avoid attempting to register new accounts on the platform during this period. Creating a new account while self-excluded is a breach of ongbd's Terms & Conditions and any such account will be closed when identified.

Deposit & Betting Limits

Setting financial limits is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling within a budget you are comfortable with. ongbd allows players to configure several types of financial controls directly from their account dashboard. These limits apply across all deposit methods, including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Dutch-Bangla Bank, and other supported payment channels.

Daily Deposit Limit

Cap the maximum amount you can deposit in any single calendar day (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6). Once reached, deposits are blocked until the following day.

Weekly Deposit Limit

Set a total deposit cap across any rolling 7-day period. This is ideal for players who want to budget on a weekly basis aligned with their income cycle.

Monthly Deposit Limit

Apply a monthly deposit ceiling to keep your total gambling spend within a defined monthly budget. Resets at the start of each calendar month.

Wagering Limit

In addition to deposit limits, you can set a cap on the total amount wagered per session, day, or week — independently of how much you have deposited.

Limit Type Minimum Setting Reduction Takes Effect Increase Takes Effect
Daily Deposit Limit ৳500 per day Immediately After 7-day cooling-off period
Weekly Deposit Limit ৳1,000 per week Immediately After 7-day cooling-off period
Monthly Deposit Limit ৳2,000 per month Immediately After 7-day cooling-off period
Wagering Limit ৳200 per session Immediately After 7-day cooling-off period
The 7-day cooling-off period for limit increases is a deliberate friction measure designed to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of a session. If you request a limit increase, you will have 7 days to reconsider before the higher limit comes into effect. You may cancel an increase request at any time during this window at no cost.

Time-Out Features

ongbd's time-out feature is a lighter-touch alternative to self-exclusion, designed for players who want a short break from the platform without committing to a formal exclusion period. A time-out suspends your account for a defined short period, after which access is automatically restored — unlike permanent self-exclusion, which requires a written request to reactivate.

Short Time-Out (24 Hours – 7 Days)

Take a brief pause from ongbd without closing your account. During a short time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account data and balance are preserved. When the period ends, access is restored automatically.

Set via Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Time-Out

Extended Time-Out (1 – 6 Weeks)

For a longer break that does not require formal self-exclusion, set an extended time-out of 1, 2, 4, or 6 weeks. During this period all marketing is also paused. After expiry, a confirmation step is required before access is restored.

Set via Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Time-Out

Session Time Reminder

Receive an on-screen notification after a pre-set interval (30, 60, or 90 minutes) reminding you how long you have been playing in the current session. The reminder shows your net gambling activity for the session to date.

Configure via Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Reminders

Reality Check Overlay

Enable the reality check overlay to view a clear summary of your total deposits, total withdrawals, and net position at intervals you set. This helps you stay grounded and make clear-headed decisions about continuing your session.

Configure via Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Reality Check

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Many players experiencing difficulties do not recognise the warning signs early enough to take protective action. The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful. If you recognise any of these patterns in yourself, please use ongbd's responsible gaming tools or contact our support team without delay.

Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money already lost, leading to progress ively larger losses.
Gambling With Essential Money: Using funds earmarked for rent, groceries, bills, or family needs to fund gambling activity.
Borrowing to Gamble: Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from family and friends specifically to fund gambling sessions.
Inability to Stop: Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or feeling restless and irritable when not gambling.
Hiding Gambling Activity: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.
Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, neglecting family commitments, or withdrawing from social activities because of gambling.
Escalating Stakes: Needing to bet increasingly larger amounts to achieve the same level of excitement or stimulation.
Gambling to Escape: Using gambling as a primary way to cope with stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties.
Mood Dependent on Results: Experiencing extreme mood swings — elation after a win, despair or anger after a loss — that affect daily functioning.
Preoccupation With Gambling: Spending significant time thinking about past gambling sessions, planning future bets, or strategising how to obtain more gambling funds.
Failed Attempts to Reduce: Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling on your own, without using protective tools.
Sleep Disruption: Staying awake for extended periods gambling overnight, or experiencing sleep problems caused by gambling-related anxiety or excitement.
Recognising a problem is the first and most important step. If you identify with three or more of the warning signs above, we strongly encourage you to activate ongbd's self-exclusion tool immediately and seek external support. Gambling problems are a recognised health condition — help is available, and there is no shame in asking for it.
