Responsible Gaming at 55bat —
Enjoy Safely, Play Wisely
At 55bat, we believe that great entertainment never comes at the cost of your well-being. Our Responsible Gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, guidance, and support needed to keep gaming a safe and enjoyable experience — not a source of harm.
1 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
55bat was built on the belief that online gaming and sports betting should be an enjoyable leisure activity — not a financial burden or a source of personal distress. As Bangladesh's premier online casino and cricket betting platform, we recognise that we have a responsibility not only to deliver great games and fast BDT payouts, but also to actively protect the well-being of every player who chooses to play with us.
Our Responsible Gaming programme is a comprehensive, multi-layered framework of practical tools, educational resources, and human support. It is available to every registered 55bat account holder, at no cost, at any time. Whether you simply want to set a sensible spending cap for the month or need to step away from the platform entirely for a period, 55bat makes it straightforward to take control.
We treat Responsible Gaming not as a compliance checkbox but as a core part of our service. Our customer support team — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in both English and Bengali — is trained to handle sensitive conversations with empathy, confidentiality, and practical guidance.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly BDT deposit caps so your spending stays within a budget you decide in advance.
Step away from 55bat for 72 hours, one week, one month, or up to six weeks — no questions asked.
Close your account for a period of six months up to five years if you feel you need a longer break from gaming.
Review your full gaming history, net win/loss summary, and session durations directly from your account dashboard.
Enable timed session reminders that pop up at intervals you choose, keeping you aware of how long you have been playing.
Our specialist responsible gaming team is reachable at any hour in English and Bengali via [email protected].
2 Age Restriction — 18+ Only
Strict 18+ Policy: 55bat does not permit any person under the age of 18 to register an account, deposit funds, place wagers, or access any real-money gaming feature. This policy applies without exception across all games, sports markets, and promotional offers on the platform.
Protecting minors from exposure to gambling is one of the most important responsibilities we hold as an online gaming operator. Before any 55bat account can process a real-money deposit or withdrawal, the account holder must complete our identity verification (KYC) process. This process requires submission of a valid National Identity Card (NID), passport, or other government-issued proof of age. Any account where the holder is found to be under 18 years of age will be permanently closed and all funds returned in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
Protecting Young People in Your Household
If you share a device — a smartphone, tablet, or computer — with anyone under the age of 18, we strongly recommend the following precautions to prevent minors from accessing your 55bat account or any online gambling platform:
- Always log out of your 55bat account when you have finished your session, especially on shared devices.
- Never save your password in a browser profile or app that a minor can access.
- Use parental control software on shared devices to block access to gambling-related websites and apps.
- Keep your bKash, Nagad, or Rocket PIN confidential so minors cannot make deposits using your mobile banking credentials.
- Talk openly with young people in your household about the risks of gambling and why it is restricted to adults aged 18 and above.
3 Deposit Limits
One of the most effective tools for responsible gambling is a pre-committed deposit limit. 55bat allows every account holder to set a maximum deposit amount across three time horizons — daily, weekly, and monthly. Once a limit is in place, the platform will automatically decline any deposit attempt that would push your total deposits over the cap you have chosen for that period.
How Deposit Limits Work on 55bat
- Daily limit: The maximum total BDT amount you can deposit across all payment methods (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard) within a rolling 24-hour period.
- Weekly limit: The maximum total you can deposit within a rolling seven-day period, measured from the day and time the limit was first set.
- Monthly limit: The maximum total you can deposit within a rolling 30-day period, providing a high-level monthly budget for your gaming activity.
Increasing vs. Decreasing Limits: A request to decrease a deposit limit takes effect immediately — protecting you without delay. A request to increase a deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period before the higher limit becomes active. This asymmetry is intentional: it is designed to prevent impulsive increases made in the heat of a gaming session.
To set or adjust your deposit limit, log in to your 55bat account, navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings, and select your preferred limit amount and time period. If you require assistance setting a limit, our support team at [email protected] can guide you through the process at any time.
4 Time-Out Features
Sometimes the best thing you can do is take a break. The 55bat time-out feature allows you to temporarily deactivate your account for a set period, giving you space to reset without permanently closing your account. During a time-out, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any wagers. Any promotional communications from 55bat will also be suspended for the duration of your time-out.
Available Time-Out Periods
- 72 hours — A short weekend-length break, ideal if you want to step away after a losing run or a long session.
- One week (7 days) — A full week away from the platform, providing meaningful distance from your gaming habits.
- One month (30 days) — A longer break that gives you time to reflect on whether gambling remains a healthy leisure choice for you.
- Six weeks (42 days) — The maximum time-out period. If you feel you need longer than six weeks, we recommend considering our full self-exclusion option instead.
Important: A time-out takes effect immediately upon request and cannot be reversed early once it has been activated. This is a deliberate design choice to protect you from overriding a responsible decision made when you were thinking clearly. When the time-out period expires, your account will be reactivated automatically.
You can activate a time-out at any time from the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings, or by contacting our support team directly at [email protected]. Requests submitted by email are processed within two hours during peak hours and within four hours overnight (Bangladesh Standard Time).
5 Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protective measure available on the 55bat platform. It is designed for players who recognise that their gambling has become, or is at risk of becoming, a problem — and who want a firm, extended barrier between themselves and the platform. Unlike a time-out, self-exclusion is a serious long-term commitment and is treated accordingly.
Please consider carefully before activating self-exclusion. Once a self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period has fully expired, even if you change your mind. Any funds remaining in your account wallet at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your verified payment method (bKash, Nagad, or Rocket) within five business days.
Self-Exclusion Periods
- 6 months — Suitable if you want a meaningful break with the intention of returning to recreational play after a period of reflection.
- 1 year — A full twelve months away from the platform, giving you substantial time to address underlying concerns.
- 3 years — A longer-term exclusion for players who feel their gaming habits require an extended period of distance.
- 5 years (maximum) — The most serious commitment available. After five years, the exclusion can only be lifted following a formal reactivation request and a mandatory review process.
How to Activate Self-Exclusion on 55bat
- Log in to your 55bat account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion.
- Select your preferred exclusion period (6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years) from the dropdown menu.
- Read and confirm the self-exclusion terms, including the acknowledgement that the period cannot be shortened once activated.
- Submit your request. Your account will be deactivated immediately upon confirmation.
- You will receive a confirmation email from 55bat at the address registered to your account within one hour of activation.
- If you prefer to activate self-exclusion without logging in, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" from your registered email address and a member of our responsible gaming team will process it within two hours.
6 Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually, often without the person affected being fully aware of the change in their relationship with gaming. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond healthy recreation and requires attention. If you recognise several of these patterns in your own behaviour, we encourage you to take immediate action using the tools described on this page or by contacting our support team.
Chasing losses: Increasing stake sizes or deposit amounts in an attempt to recover money lost in previous sessions, rather than accepting losses as part of normal play.
Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose: Using funds set aside for rent, food, utility bills, mobile recharge, or other essential living costs to fund gaming activity.
Inability to stop: Finding it difficult to end a gaming session at the planned time, or feeling compelled to continue playing even after deciding to stop.
Preoccupation with gambling: Spending a significant portion of the day thinking about upcoming wagers, BPL or IPL betting markets, or planning how to fund your next session.
Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, studies, family commitments, or social obligations in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or elsewhere because of time or money spent on gambling.
Concealment: Hiding the extent of your gambling activity — deposits made via bKash or Nagad, time spent on the platform, or financial losses — from family members, friends, or a partner.
Borrowing to gamble: Taking informal loans, using credit cards, or withdrawing from savings to finance gambling activity.
Gambling as an escape: Using gaming sessions as a way to avoid dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, financial pressure, or relationship difficulties.
You are not alone. Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life. Recognising the signs is the first and most important step toward regaining control. 55bat's responsible gaming tools are available immediately — and our support team will treat every conversation with complete confidentiality and compassion.
7 Support Resources
55bat's on-platform tools are a strong first line of defence, but we recognise that some players may benefit from additional professional support beyond what we can directly provide. We encourage any player who is struggling with problem gambling to reach out to appropriate counselling and support services. Speaking to a trained professional is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Seeking Help in Bangladesh
If you or someone you know in Bangladesh is experiencing difficulties related to gambling, the following steps can help you access support:
- Speak with a trusted family member, friend, or community leader about what you are experiencing. Social support is one of the most effective protective factors in recovery from problem gambling.
- Consult a mental health professional or counsellor. Many hospitals and clinics in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Khulna offer counselling services that can address gambling-related distress as part of a broader mental health conversation.
- Contact 55bat's support team directly at [email protected] — we can provide a complete account history, help you activate self-exclusion, and point you toward additional resources.
- Use the National Mental Health Helpline if it is available in your region. Mental health awareness is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, with an increasing number of services available in both Dhaka and district-level cities.
Responsible Gaming Self-Assessment
Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, it may be time to use one of 55bat's protective tools or seek outside support:
- Have I ever gambled with money I needed for daily expenses — food, rent, transport, or mobile recharge?
- Have I ever lied to someone close to me about how much time or money I spend on gambling?
- Have I ever felt anxious, irritable, or restless when I was unable to access a gambling platform?
- Have I ever increased my deposits or stakes to try to win back money I had previously lost?
- Have I ever gambled for longer than I planned because I was trying to get back to even?
- Has gambling ever interfered with my work, studies, family life, or friendships?
