At Sportingbet, we believe betting is for entertainment. Responsible gaming means knowing your limits, staying in control, and keeping betting an enjoyable part of life — not a burden.
These benchmarks are a simple way to check your own betting habits.
These are the tools Sportingbet has in place to support responsible gaming — all available to use at any time.
You can set your own maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, it takes effect immediately. If you want to increase the limit, you'll need to wait 24 hours — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.
Set your own limit on how much you can lose within a given period before betting is automatically stopped. Once your loss limit is reached, Sportingbet will not accept any further bets. This tool is designed to prevent the urge to chase losses by staking more after a losing streak.
7 days, 1 month, or 6 months — take a temporary break from the platform for as long as you need. During this period, you won't be able to log in to your account. No marketing messages will be sent during the self-exclusion period either.
Every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours — whichever you prefer — a pop-up will show you how long you've been betting and how much you've staked. It's a simple way to stay aware of the time you're spending.
If you feel like things are getting too heated, activate a cooling-off period — betting will be paused for 24 to 72 hours. It's a great way to calm down and reconsider your decisions.
Once logged in, you can check your betting history, total spend, and a full breakdown of wins and losses at any time. Staying aware of your own habits is the first step toward responsible betting.
Responsible gaming at Sportingbet isn't just about following a set of rules — it's a mindset. Betting on a cricket match or buying a lottery ticket can be genuinely enjoyable, as long as it stays within healthy limits. But when betting stops being entertainment and becomes a way to chase losses or escape stress, that's when problems begin.
Sportingbet believes every user should treat betting as just one of many forms of entertainment in life — much like going to the cinema or dining out. Decide in advance how much you're willing to spend, and enjoy yourself within that limit.
Core Principle: Don't bet on the hope of recovering lost money. Every bet is independent — a previous loss is no guarantee of a future win.
Before you start betting, decide — either in your head or on paper — the maximum amount you're willing to spend today. This money should come from your entertainment budget, not from funds set aside for family, rent, or groceries.
Spending hours on end betting isn't healthy. Keep Sportingbet's Reality Check reminders turned on, or set a timer on your phone yourself. Deciding on a time limit upfront makes it much harder to get stuck in.
Once your budget runs out or you've hit your loss limit for the day, stop. The thought "one more bet and I'll win it back" is the most dangerous mindset there is.
Many people tend to bet more aggressively after a win. If you're up, set some of those winnings aside and play with the rest — don't put it all back in at once.
Spend time with family, catch up with friends, get active — there's so much more to life than betting. When betting starts taking up a large part of your life, that's a sign something's wrong.
Answer honestly — this is just for you.
If you notice even one of these signs in yourself, don't wait — reach out to Sportingbet's support team right away.
Sportingbet's responsible gaming tools are very easy to use.
After logging in, click on your name in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" or the "Responsible Gaming" option.
Deposit Limit, Loss Limit, Reality Check, or Self-Exclusion — choose whichever tool you need and set your limit or time period.
Once you've set a limit, clicking "Save" or "Confirm" makes it effective immediately. No additional verification is required.
If you can't find the settings or need help, reach out to our support team via live chat. We're available 24/7 in Bengali.
Online betting is growing fast in Bangladesh. During cricket season or the World Cup, millions of people come to the platform, place their bets, and enjoy the excitement. That's completely normal and a legitimate form of entertainment. But like any form of entertainment, betting needs to have its limits.
Responsible gaming has been a priority at Sportingbet from the very start. It's not just a page created to tick a box — there's a genuine, three-layered effort in place: technical tools, user awareness programs, and an active support team all working together to ensure responsible gaming.
Gaming addiction is a mental health issue — not a personal weakness. Many people who develop problems with betting don't realize when things shifted from casual play to something more serious. The change usually happens gradually — one big loss, then chasing that loss, then losing even more, and so the cycle continues.
Sportingbet's deposit limit feature helps break this cycle. Say you can set aside ৳5,000 a month for entertainment — simply set your monthly deposit limit at Sportingbet to ৳5,000. Once that limit is reached, no further deposits will be possible, so there's no way to overspend. Lowering your limit takes effect instantly, while increasing it requires a 24-hour wait — a rule designed to protect you from making emotionally driven decisions.
A common concern is how minors are kept away from betting. Sportingbet does not allow anyone under 18 to register. Age is verified during KYC checks, and any account suspected of being used by a minor is investigated. If a parent or guardian believes a minor is accessing betting through a family device, they can contact support to enable parental controls.
Self-exclusion deserves a closer look. Using it doesn't mean you've "lost" or that you're "weak" — not at all. It means you know yourself and you know when to stop. Sportingbet respects that decision. Once self-exclusion is active, you won't receive any promotional messages, bonus offers, or re-engagement invitations — that's Sportingbet's commitment to you.
Reality Check Reminders may seem like a small thing, but research consistently shows they work. When your screen displays "You've been betting for 2 hours and have wagered ৳3,200 in total" — that information acts as a real-world wake-up call. We often lose track of time and money while betting, and this reminder brings you back to reality.
If you feel that betting is having a negative impact on your life or the life of someone close to you, don't try to handle it alone — reach out for help. Sportingbet's support team is here to listen and help you take the right steps in situations like these. There's no need to feel ashamed or afraid — this support is not here to judge you, it's here to help.
Betting should never be used as a way to relieve stress. Avoid betting when you're feeling anxious or going through a difficult time mentally.
If you feel that betting is affecting the time you spend with family, your relationships, or your household finances, that's a serious warning sign.
