Responsible Gaming — Play Safe with s101bd

Our Promise

Our Commitment to Safe Play

At s101bd, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core principle built into every layer of our platform. We believe that entertainment should always remain enjoyable, and we provide every Bangladeshi player with the tools and information needed to keep it that way.

Player-First Approach

Every feature on the s101bd platform is designed with player wellbeing in mind. From deposit limits to session reminders, our tools are built to help you maintain a healthy and enjoyable gambling experience.

Spending Transparency

s101bd provides full visibility into your wagering history, net deposits, and bonus usage directly from your account dashboard. Clear records in BDT help you understand exactly how much you are spending.

Account Control Tools

Players have direct access to a suite of account management tools including deposit caps, session time limits, cool-off periods, and permanent self-exclusion — all manageable without having to contact support.

Dedicated Support

Our trained support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, operating on Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). If you feel gambling is affecting your life negatively, reach out to us immediately at [email protected].

Behaviour Monitoring

s101bd's platform monitors gameplay patterns for signs of excessive or high-risk gambling behaviour. Where such patterns are identified, our team may proactively reach out to offer responsible gaming support and options.

Fair Game Standards

All casino games and sports betting markets offered on s101bd use certified Random Number Generator (RNG) technology and fair odds. Players can trust that outcomes are not manipulated and that the platform operates with full integrity.

Section 1

18+ Age Restriction Policy

18+

Access to s101bd is strictly limited to players who are 18 years of age or older. This is an absolute policy with no exceptions.

s101bd operates exclusively as an entertainment platform for adults. In Bangladesh, as in all markets where s101bd is accessible, players must be at least 18 years of age to register an account, make a deposit, place a bet, or participate in any game on the platform. This age restriction applies equally to free-play modes, bonus claims, and any promotional activity.

Identity Verification (KYC)

To enforce the 18+ requirement, s101bd conducts identity verification (Know Your Customer, or KYC) checks as part of the account registration and withdrawal process. Players are required to submit a government-issued identification document — such as a National ID Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate — which is reviewed to confirm both identity and age before full account access is granted.

s101bd reserves the right to request age verification documentation at any point during a player's use of the platform. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 will be suspended immediately, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and any winnings generated will be forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

Zero Tolerance for Underage Access

Facilitating or attempting to facilitate access to the s101bd platform by a person under 18 years of age is a serious violation of our terms and may be reported to relevant authorities. If you are aware of a minor who has registered or attempted to register on s101bd, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

Important: Providing false information during identity verification in order to gain access to s101bd while underage is a violation of our Terms & Conditions and may constitute fraud. s101bd takes the protection of minors extremely seriously and will pursue all available remedies in such cases.

Section 2

Deposit & Spending Limits

One of the most effective ways to maintain control over your gambling activity is to set personal deposit and spending limits before you begin playing. s101bd provides a comprehensive limit-setting framework that allows you to cap the amount you deposit into your account over defined time periods — all in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT).

Limits set through your account dashboard take effect immediately and cannot be increased for a mandatory cooling-off period. Requests to decrease an existing limit take effect instantly. This asymmetry is intentional: it is easy to become more conservative, but any relaxation of limits requires deliberate reflection time to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of a session.

Daily Limit

Set the maximum amount in BDT you are permitted to deposit into your s101bd account within any single calendar day.

Weekly Limit

Cap your total deposits over a rolling 7-day period. This is ideal for players who prefer a weekly budgeting approach to their entertainment spending.

Monthly Limit

Define the maximum total amount you can deposit across an entire calendar month, giving you full control over your long-term spending on s101bd.

Loss Limit

Set a ceiling on the total net loss you are willing to accept over a chosen period. Once reached, further bets are suspended until the limit period resets.

How to Set Your Limits

1

Log in to Your s101bd Account

Access your account using your registered mobile number and password via the s101bd Login page.

2

Navigate to Responsible Gaming Settings

From your account dashboard, locate the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section in the account settings menu.

3

Select Your Limit Type and Amount

Choose daily, weekly, or monthly limit, then enter your preferred cap in BDT. The system will display your current usage against the limit in real time.

4

Confirm Your Limit

Confirm your selection. The limit takes effect immediately. Any request to raise a limit will be subject to a mandatory 24-hour review period.

Tip for Bangladesh Players: Setting a monthly deposit limit that aligns with your disposable income — rather than your total income — is a healthy starting point. Many players in Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet find that treating s101bd as a fixed monthly entertainment budget, similar to a streaming subscription, keeps the experience enjoyable and sustainable.

Section 3

Time-Out & Cool-Off Features

Sometimes a player may feel the need to take a short break from gambling without committing to a full self-exclusion. s101bd's time-out and cool-off features are designed precisely for this purpose — they allow you to pause your account for a defined period so you can step away, recharge, and return to the platform with fresh perspective when you are ready.

Session Time Reminders

s101bd can be configured to display on-screen reminders at regular intervals during your gaming session, alerting you to how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in that session. These reminders are displayed in real time during both casino game sessions and sports betting activity, including cricket BPL, T20, and IPL markets. Session reminders are a lightweight tool that nudges awareness without interrupting play.

Cool-Off Period

A cool-off period is a temporary suspension of your s101bd account that you can activate yourself at any time. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in to your account, place bets, or make deposits. Cool-off periods are available in the following durations: 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, and 30 days.

Once a cool-off period is activated, it cannot be shortened or cancelled before the selected duration has fully elapsed. This firm boundary is intentional — it ensures that a moment of impulsive decision-making cannot immediately undo a responsible choice you made when in a calmer state of mind. Any pending withdrawals will continue to be processed normally during your cool-off period.

Reality Check Notifications

Beyond session reminders, s101bd can be set to deliver "reality check" notifications at intervals you define — for example, every 30 minutes or every hour. Each reality check notification displays your net position for the current session, your total time spent playing that day, and a simple prompt asking whether you wish to continue or end your session. These checks are designed to break the flow of extended play and encourage regular, conscious decision-making.

A Note on Cool-Off vs. Self-Exclusion: A cool-off period is a short-term pause. If you find that you routinely cancel cool-off periods as soon as they expire and immediately resume heavy play, this may be a sign that a longer-term self-exclusion is a more appropriate tool for your situation. See the Self-Exclusion section below for more information.

Section 4

Self-Exclusion Options

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available to s101bd players. If you feel that your gambling has become or is becoming a problem, self-exclusion allows you to request a complete suspension of your account for an extended period. During a self-exclusion, you will not be able to access your account, place bets, or receive promotional communications from s101bd.

Self-Exclusion Periods

s101bd offers the following self-exclusion durations, which can be selected from your account's Responsible Gaming settings or requested directly through our support team at [email protected]:

6 months — suitable for players who need a meaningful but defined break
12 months — a full year away from the platform to allow significant recovery time
3 years — an extended exclusion for players with serious concerns about their gambling habits
Permanent exclusion — an indefinite closure of your s101bd account with no automatic reinstatement

What Happens During Self-Exclusion

Once a self-exclusion is activated, s101bd will take the following steps immediately: your account will be suspended and you will be logged out of all active sessions; you will be removed from all marketing and promotional mailing lists; any bonus or free-play offers will be cancelled; and your account balance will be held securely pending a withdrawal request that you may submit via email to our support team.

Self-Exclusion Is Irrevocable During Its Term

Once a self-exclusion period has been set and confirmed, it cannot be shortened, paused, or cancelled at your request before the full duration has elapsed. This is a deliberate safeguard. Requests to lift a self-exclusion early will not be acted upon. Permanent self-exclusions do not expire automatically — reinstatement requires a formal written request and a mandatory 7-day consideration period.

Requesting Self-Exclusion

1

Via Account Settings

Log in to your s101bd account, go to Responsible Gaming settings, and select "Self-Exclusion". Choose your preferred duration and confirm. The exclusion takes effect within minutes.

2

Via Email to Support

Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request", your registered account username or mobile number, and your chosen exclusion duration. Our team will confirm the exclusion and send you written confirmation within 24 hours.

3

Receive Confirmation

You will receive a written confirmation of your self-exclusion, including the exclusion start date, end date (or "Permanent" status), and instructions for how to withdraw your remaining account balance if applicable.

Section 5

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gambling is intended to be an enjoyable and entertaining activity. For the vast majority of s101bd players across Bangladesh — whether betting on BPL cricket in Dhaka or spinning slots in Chittagong — it remains exactly that. However, for a small number of individuals, gambling can develop into a pattern of behaviour that causes harm to themselves and to those around them.

Being able to recognise the early warning signs of problem gambling is essential. The following self-assessment questions are designed to help you honestly evaluate your own relationship with gambling. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use s101bd's responsible gaming tools or to seek professional support.

1

Do you find yourself gambling with money that was intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, utility bills, or your children's school fees?

2

Have you ever borrowed money from family members, friends, or financial institutions specifically to fund your gambling activity?

3

Do you feel irritable, restless, or anxious when you are not gambling, or when you attempt to reduce or stop your gambling?

4

Have you tried to cut back on your gambling but found yourself unable to follow through on that decision?

5

Do you find yourself chasing losses — placing more bets or larger bets in an attempt to recover money you have already lost?

6

Has gambling caused significant arguments, tension, or concern within your family or among close friends?

7

Have you concealed the extent of your gambling from family members, or lied about how much time or money you spend gambling?

8

Do you gamble as a way of escaping personal problems, stress, depression, or feelings of anxiety or helplessness?

If you answered "yes" to two or more of the above questions, your gambling behaviour may be entering problem territory. This is not a cause for shame — problem gambling is a recognised condition that many people experience, and effective support is available. Please read the Support Resources section below and consider activating s101bd's self-exclusion tool while you seek further guidance.

Section 6

Getting Help & Support

If you believe that gambling is negatively affecting your life — or the life of someone you care about — the most important step you can take is to seek support. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out. Early intervention is far more effective than waiting until problems have escalated. s101bd's support team is available 24/7 and is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with complete confidentiality and without judgement.

External Help and Professional Resources

While s101bd's support team is your first point of contact for platform-related assistance, professional counselling and support organisations offer specialised help for gambling-related harm. If you are in Bangladesh and struggling with problem gambling, we encourage you to speak with a qualified mental health professional or counsellor. Community mental health support services are available through a number of hospitals and NGO-based health programmes across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, and Rangpur.

Speaking to a trusted family member, religious adviser, or community leader is also a meaningful first step. In many communities across Bangladesh, support networks within the family and local community are a powerful resource — do not hesitate to use them.

Remember: Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Thousands of people across Bangladesh manage gambling-related challenges every year with the right support. You are not alone, and effective help is available.

Section 7

Parental Controls & Minor Protection

If you share a device, computer, or mobile phone with children or young people, it is important to take steps to prevent minors from accessing the s101bd platform. While s101bd enforces strict age verification at the account registration level, device-level parental controls provide an additional layer of protection that operates independently of the platform itself.

Device-Level Parental Controls

Most modern smartphones — including Android devices popular in Bangladesh and iPhones — include built-in parental control features. These allow you to restrict access to specific websites and applications. We recommend configuring these controls on any device that is accessible to children in your household. Specific instructions for setting up parental controls are available through your device manufacturer's support documentation.

Third-Party Filtering Software

In addition to built-in device controls, a number of third-party web filtering applications are available that can block access to gambling websites across all browsers on a device. These applications are particularly useful on shared desktop or laptop computers. Setting a strong, unique password that children do not have access to on your s101bd account also prevents unauthorised access at the account level.

Keeping Your Account Secure

Never share your s101bd account password with anyone, including family members. Use a strong, unique password that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not save your login credentials in a browser on a shared device. If you suspect that a minor has accessed your account, contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can review your account activity and take appropriate protective measures.

Reporting Underage Access

If you have reason to believe that a minor has registered on the s101bd platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action without delay.
