h baj Responsible Gaming
At h baj, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable, controlled activity. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh access to practical tools, honest information, and direct support — so that the fun never comes at a cost you cannot afford.
Built-In Controls at Your Fingertips
h baj has integrated a full suite of responsible gaming controls directly into the platform. Every registered player can access these tools instantly from their account dashboard — no lengthy forms, no waiting period for activation.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits can be processed until the period resets. Increases to limits take 24 hours to apply; reductions are immediate.
Session Time Limits
Define how long each gaming session can last. When your session timer expires, h baj will automatically log you out. You can also set a reality-check reminder that displays a notification after a set interval, showing you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
Time-Out Periods
If you need a short break from gambling, a time-out temporarily suspends your h baj account for a period of your choosing — ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a time-out you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. The suspension lifts automatically when the period ends.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure for players who feel they need to stop gambling altogether. You can self-exclude from h baj for a minimum of six months and up to five years. During the exclusion period, your account is permanently blocked and cannot be reopened until the exclusion expires.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, you can set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once your net losses for the period reach your chosen cap, h baj prevents further real-money play until the limit period resets. This tool helps you stay within a budget you define yourself.
Wager Limits
Set a cap on the total amount you can wager within a defined period regardless of wins or losses. Wager limits are particularly useful for slots and live casino games where bet sizes accumulate quickly, helping you maintain visibility over total activity rather than individual session outcomes.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Gambling problems rarely appear all at once. They tend to develop gradually, and many people do not recognise the signs until the impact on their finances, relationships, or mental health has become significant. h baj encourages all players to review these indicators regularly and honestly.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended, or chasing losses in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.
- Gambling with money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, bills, groceries, or family needs.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gambling activity.
- Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the amount of time or money spent on gambling.
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other negative emotions.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans specifically to fund gambling activity.
- Continuing to gamble despite repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop.
- Neglecting personal responsibilities, work commitments, or important relationships because of time spent gambling.
Quick Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to contact the h baj support team or activate a time-out or self-exclusion from your account dashboard.
If any of your answers concern you, please reach out to our support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Our team is trained to help and will treat your enquiry with complete confidentiality.
All responsible gaming tools described on this page are available free of charge to every registered h baj player. To activate any of these tools, log in to your account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings, or contact our support team directly via live chat.
1. Age Restriction Policy
h baj operates strictly as an adults-only platform. You must be 18 years of age or older to register an account, make a deposit, or place any wager on h baj. This age requirement is non-negotiable and applies to all players in Bangladesh and every other jurisdiction in which h baj operates.
Age verification is a mandatory part of the h baj account registration and KYC process. All players are required to provide valid identity documentation confirming their date of birth before withdrawals are processed or higher deposit tiers are unlocked. Acceptable documents include a national identity card (NID), passport, or driving licence.
If at any point h baj has reason to believe that an account holder may be under the age of 18, the account will be immediately suspended pending identity verification. Any funds deposited by a verified minor will be returned to the original payment method, and the account will be permanently closed. h baj reserves the right to request age verification documentation at any stage of the player relationship.
Important: If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor may have accessed the h baj platform using your device or payment method, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action without delay.
2. Deposit & Spending Limits
Setting financial limits is one of the most effective ways to keep gambling enjoyable and within your means. h baj provides three types of financial limit that you can apply to your account independently or in combination.
Daily Limit
Cap your deposits or losses within any single 24-hour period. Resets at midnight BST.
Weekly Limit
Set a rolling 7-day ceiling on total deposits or net losses. Resets every Monday at 00:00 BST.
Monthly Limit
Define a monthly budget. Resets on the first day of each calendar month at 00:00 BST.
Loss Limit
Restrict the maximum net loss you can incur across any defined period, regardless of bet count.
How Limit Changes Work
To protect players against impulsive decisions made during a gambling session, h baj applies a mandatory processing delay when a player requests an increase to any existing financial limit. Requested limit increases take a minimum of 24 hours to come into effect, giving you time to reconsider. By contrast, any request to reduce a limit or to set a new, lower limit takes effect immediately upon confirmation — there is no waiting period for a more restrictive change.
You can view, set, or modify your financial limits at any time by logging in to your h baj account and visiting the Responsible Gaming section of your account dashboard. Alternatively, contact our support team via live chat and a team member will assist you.
3. Session Time Controls
Time passes quickly during a gambling session, and it can be easy to lose track of how long you have been playing. h baj's session time controls are designed to keep you aware of your time on the platform and give you the power to set firm boundaries.
Session Duration Limits
You can set a maximum session length from your account settings. When the duration you have specified is reached, h baj will automatically end your active session and log you out. To resume play, you must log back in — a deliberate friction point that encourages you to pause and consider whether you wish to continue.
Reality Check Reminders
Reality check pop-ups appear at intervals you define — for example, every 30 minutes or every hour. Each reminder displays a summary of your current session: total time played, total amount wagered, and your net position for the session. At this point you can choose to continue your session or log out. Reality checks cannot be dismissed without making an active choice, ensuring you genuinely engage with the information before continuing.
Session History
Your complete gaming history, including session dates, durations, and financial activity, is available in your h baj account dashboard. Reviewing your session history regularly is a healthy habit that helps you maintain an accurate picture of your gambling activity over time.
4. Self-Exclusion Tools
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on h baj. It is designed for players who have decided they need to stop gambling for an extended period and want a firm, reliable mechanism to enforce that decision. h baj takes self-exclusion requests extremely seriously.
How to Self-Exclude on h baj
-
1
Log in to Your Account
Access the h baj platform and navigate to your account settings. Select the "Responsible Gaming" section from the menu.
-
2
Choose Your Exclusion Period
Select a self-exclusion duration. Available periods are: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years. All periods are a minimum of 6 months. During this time your account will be completely inaccessible.
-
3
Confirm Your Decision
You will be asked to confirm your self-exclusion request. Once confirmed, the exclusion takes effect immediately. Your account is blocked, pending bets are settled normally, and your balance is held securely for withdrawal after the exclusion ends.
-
4
Account Reinstatement
When the exclusion period ends, you must contact h baj support to request reinstatement. This is not automatic. There is a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period after reinstatement is requested, and you will be required to confirm your decision in writing before access is restored.
If you wish to self-exclude but are unable to access your account settings, contact the h baj support team directly via live chat or at [email protected]. Our team will action your self-exclusion request immediately without any waiting period.
Please note: Self-exclusion is a serious and binding commitment. Once activated, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period has expired. h baj will not accept requests to lift a self-exclusion early under any circumstances. This firmness is intentional — it is what makes self-exclusion an effective tool.
5. Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is a recognised behavioural condition in which a person's gambling activity causes ongoing harm to themselves or to those around them. The warning signs are listed in the section above, but it is worth understanding that problem gambling affects people from all walks of life and at every income level.
Gambling is designed to be entertaining, and the vast majority of h baj players engage with the platform responsibly and within their means. However, h baj recognises that for a minority of players, gambling can become harmful. Our responsible gaming programme exists precisely to identify these situations early and provide practical interventions before the harm becomes severe.
How h baj Monitors for At-Risk Behaviour
Our platform uses automated monitoring tools that flag patterns of behaviour associated with problem gambling. These include unusually rapid increases in deposit frequency or amounts, sustained sessions lasting several hours without breaks, repeated instances of depositing immediately after significant losses, and a pattern of placing maximum-stake wagers across multiple consecutive sessions.
When these patterns are detected, a member of the h baj responsible gaming team may reach out proactively to check in and remind you of the tools available. This outreach is always done in good faith and with your wellbeing as the sole motivation. You are never under any obligation to respond, but we encourage you to engage with us if you are experiencing difficulties.
6. Getting Help & Support
If you believe gambling is having a negative impact on your life, or on the lives of people you care about, it is important to seek help as early as possible. h baj's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide a confidential first point of contact and to help you activate any of the responsible gaming tools described on this page.
Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. You can contact us through any of the following channels:
- Live Chat: Available 24/7 directly within the h baj platform. Our support agents are trained in responsible gaming and can activate time-outs, deposit limits, and self-exclusion on your behalf immediately.
- Email: Send your query or request to [email protected]. Please include "Responsible Gaming Request" in the subject line for fastest routing. We aim to respond within 2 hours.
- WhatsApp: Check your h baj account dashboard for the current WhatsApp support number. WhatsApp support is available in both English and Bengali.
Talking to Someone Outside h baj
Sometimes it helps to speak with someone independent of the platform. h baj encourages players who are struggling with gambling to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or community counsellor. In Bangladesh, mental health and addiction support services are available through government hospitals and private wellness clinics in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, and Rangpur. Your general practitioner or a local health centre can also direct you to appropriate resources.
We Are Here to Help
The h baj responsible gaming team treats every enquiry with complete confidentiality. Your request for help will not affect your account standing, your ability to withdraw funds, or your relationship with the platform in any negative way.
If you are in crisis or experiencing thoughts of self-harm related to gambling losses, please contact a local emergency mental health service or speak to someone you trust immediately. Your wellbeing is the absolute priority.
7. Our Commitments to Players
h baj's responsible gaming programme is built on a set of clear, actionable commitments. These are not aspirational statements — they are operational policies that govern how h baj runs its platform every day.
- We will never market to players who have self-excluded. Once a self-exclusion is active, the associated account is immediately removed from all marketing lists. No promotional emails, SMS messages, or push notifications will be sent during the exclusion period.
- We will never encourage players to chase losses. h baj's promotional communications will never use language that encourages players to deposit more following a losing session. We do not offer "loss-back" bonuses that are designed to prolong play after significant losses.
- We will never make it difficult to use responsible gaming tools. Setting limits, taking a time-out, or self-excluding must always be easier than making a deposit. Our dashboard is designed to make protective tools prominent and accessible.
- We will train our staff in responsible gaming. All h baj customer support agents receive responsible gaming training. They are equipped to identify distress signals in player communications and to respond with empathy and practical guidance.
- We will enforce our 18+ policy without exception. Age verification is mandatory. No player who cannot provide satisfactory proof of age will be permitted to gamble real money on h baj under any circumstances.
- We will be transparent about the nature of gambling. Gambling involves risk. The house edge means that, over time, players will lose more than they win on average. h baj will always present this reality honestly, and we will never imply that gambling is a reliable way to make money.
