Play Responsibly

gb997 operates under six core responsible gaming principles that protect every player from the moment they register.

Player Wellbeing First
Every feature, tool, and policy at gb997 is designed with one priority in mind — keeping players safe, informed, and in control of their gambling behaviour at all times.
Strict 18+ Enforcement
gb997 verifies the age of every player during account registration. No individual under the age of 18 is permitted to create an account, deposit funds, or participate in any game on the platform.
Flexible Spending Controls
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. gb997 applies your chosen limit immediately and requires a cooling-off period before any increase can take effect.
Time-Out & Breaks
Take a short break from gaming with gb997's time-out feature. Choose a pause of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is locked for gaming but withdrawals remain accessible.
Self-Exclusion Programme
Players who feel they need a longer break can request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. Self-exclusion is irrevocable for its duration and blocks all access to the gb997 platform.
24/7 Support Team
Our dedicated support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. If you are concerned about your gambling habits, reach out at any time — our team is trained to assist with sensitivity and care.

Our Commitment to Safe Play

gb997 believes that gambling should be an enjoyable, entertaining activity — not a source of financial stress or personal harm. As a platform serving players across Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and beyond, gb997 takes its duty of care seriously. We recognise that a small proportion of players may develop difficulties managing their gambling, and we have built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework to identify, support, and protect those individuals.

Our responsible gaming policy is not simply a list of rules — it is an active commitment embedded in how gb997 operates. From the moment you register an account, you have access to a full suite of player protection tools. Our customer support agents are trained in responsible gaming principles. Our platform monitors player behaviour for signs of problematic patterns. And our self-exclusion programme provides a genuine, enforceable way for players to step back when they need to.

gb997 does not encourage players to chase losses, does not use high-pressure marketing tactics that target vulnerable individuals, and does not offer credit to fund gambling. We are committed to the principle that gambling at gb997 must always remain an affordable leisure activity within a player's financial means.

Remember: Gambling should always be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or recover money you have lost. Set a budget before you play and stick to it. The house always has a mathematical edge over time.

gb997 also recognises the cultural context of its Bangladeshi player base. During periods such as Eid, Pohela Boishakh, or major cricket tournaments like BPL and IPL, excitement and social pressure around gambling can intensify. We are mindful of these seasonal patterns and encourage all players to remain disciplined regardless of the occasion. Our responsible gaming tools are available at all times, including during promotional periods.

Safe Play Principles
Gambling Involves Financial Risk. Never wager money you cannot afford to lose. If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, please use the tools and resources available on this page.

Age Restriction & Verification

gb997 operates a strict 18+ age policy. Only individuals who are 18 years of age or older at the time of registration are permitted to open an account, make deposits, or place bets on the gb997 platform. This policy is non-negotiable and applies to all players in Bangladesh without exception.

Age verification is conducted as part of the Know Your Customer process. When you register at gb997, you are required to confirm that you are 18 or older. gb997 may request identity documents — such as your Bangladesh National ID Card or passport — to confirm your date of birth before allowing deposits or withdrawals. Players who cannot or do not provide satisfactory age verification will have their account restricted until the matter is resolved.

For Adults Only (18+): If you are under 18 years of age, you must not attempt to register or use the gb997 platform. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has accessed gb997, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
Accepted Age Verification Documents
Document Security: All KYC documents submitted to gb997 are stored in an encrypted, access-controlled document vault and are reviewed only by authorised compliance staff.

Self-Exclusion Options

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools gb997 offers to players who feel that their gambling has become difficult to control. When you activate self-exclusion, gb997 will suspend your account for the chosen period, prevent any new logins, and ensure that you cannot place bets or access games during that time. Pending withdrawals of existing balances can still be processed after self-exclusion is activated.

gb997 offers three self-exclusion durations. You may choose the period that best reflects the level of break you need. All self-exclusion requests are treated with full confidentiality and are actioned within one hour of being received.

6 Months
A six-month exclusion is suitable for players who recognise early warning signs and want to take a meaningful break before habits escalate.
1 Year
A one-year exclusion provides a longer reset period for players who feel their gambling has significantly affected their daily life or finances.
5 Years
A five-year exclusion is intended for players who need a long-term, enforced separation from gambling to protect their wellbeing and finances.
1
Contact gb997 Support
Reach our support team via live chat on gb997.org or by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".
2
Select Your Exclusion Period
Inform the support agent of the duration you wish to select — 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. No justification is required; your request will be honoured without question.
3
Identity Confirmation
To protect your account, gb997 will confirm your identity before activating self-exclusion. This is to ensure the request is genuine and not submitted by a third party.
4
Exclusion Activated
Your account will be suspended within one hour. You will receive a confirmation email. During the exclusion period, gb997 will also suppress any marketing communications to your registered contact details.
Self-Exclusion is Irrevocable: Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the chosen period expires — no exceptions. This is intentional; the purpose of self-exclusion is to create a firm, binding commitment. Requests to end an exclusion early will be declined.
What Self-Exclusion Covers
What Remains Available: Pending balance withdrawals can still be requested during self-exclusion. Contact [email protected] to arrange withdrawal of any remaining balance.

Deposit Limits & Spending Controls

One of the most effective ways to keep gambling enjoyable is to set a firm budget in advance. gb997 provides deposit limit controls that allow you to cap the total amount you can deposit into your account over a defined time period. Setting a deposit limit is one of the simplest, most practical steps you can take to protect your finances while still enjoying the gb997 platform.

Deposit limits at gb997 can be configured at three intervals. You may set any combination of these limits simultaneously — for example, a daily limit of ৳2,000, a weekly limit of ৳8,000, and a monthly limit of ৳20,000. The most restrictive applicable limit always takes precedence.

Daily Limit
Cap the total amount you can deposit in any 24-hour period. Resets at midnight Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) each day.
Weekly Limit
Cap your total deposits across any 7-day rolling window. Useful for players who prefer to manage their budget on a weekly basis.
Monthly Limit
Cap your total deposits across any 30-day rolling period. A monthly limit gives the broadest perspective on your overall gambling spend.
Our Recommendation: Set a monthly deposit limit before your first deposit at gb997. Choose an amount that represents comfortable leisure spending for your household — an amount you would not miss if you lost it entirely. Review and adjust quarterly as your circumstances change.
Accepted Deposit Methods
Deposit limits apply across all payment methods equally, including:
bKash
Nagad
Rocket
Upay
Visa
Mastercard
Dutch-Bangla Bank
BRAC Bank
No Credit Facilities: gb997 does not offer credit, loans, or any form of advance funding to players. You may only deposit funds that you already own.

Time-Out & Session Controls

gb997's time-out feature is designed for players who want to take a short, structured break from gambling without committing to a full self-exclusion. A time-out is lighter than self-exclusion — it suspends your gaming access for a defined period while keeping your account intact. It is an ideal first step if you feel you are playing more than planned or if you simply want to reset your habits.

Time-out periods available at gb997 are 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot place bets, access games, or make deposits. Your account remains open and any existing balance is preserved. You may still log in to request a withdrawal of your available balance during a time-out.

In addition to the standard time-out, gb997 offers session time reminders. You can configure an on-screen notification to alert you when you have been actively playing for a set number of minutes — for example, 30 minutes or 60 minutes. This reminder appears as a pop-up notification and serves as a simple cue to take a break, review your session balance, and decide consciously whether to continue playing.

Time-Out Duration Options
Reactivation: Time-outs do not automatically expire into active accounts. You must consciously contact gb997 support to reactivate after the period ends, reinforcing that the decision to return is intentional.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. gb997 encourages all players to periodically reflect on their gambling behaviour honestly. The checklist below outlines common warning signs that may indicate your gambling is becoming problematic. If you recognise several of these signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to use the tools available on this page or to contact our support team.

  • You spend more money or time gambling than you originally planned, and find it difficult to stop once you have started a session.
  • You chase losses — that is, you increase your bets or deposit more money to try to win back money you have already lost.
  • You lie to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
  • You borrow money, sell personal belongings, or use funds intended for household expenses (rent, food, bills) to fund your gambling.
  • You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling — or when you are unable to access a gambling platform.
  • Gambling has caused you to neglect work, study, family responsibilities, or social relationships that are important to you.
  • You gamble to escape problems, stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult emotions rather than for entertainment.
  • You have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling on your own.
If You Recognise These Signs: Recognising a problem is the first and most important step. You are not alone — problem gambling affects people from all walks of life across Bangladesh. gb997 is here to support you. Please contact our support team immediately, activate a self-exclusion, or reach out to one of the external support organisations listed in Section 7.

gb997's platform also monitors player activity for behavioural patterns that may indicate problem gambling — such as rapid loss-chasing deposit sequences, unusually long session durations, or a sudden sharp increase in bet sizes. Where our systems or staff identify concerning behaviour, a member of our responsible gaming team may reach out to you directly to check in and discuss the tools available to help. This outreach is carried out with care and without judgment.

Quick Self-Assessment
Ask yourself these questions honestly:
Answering "yes" to two or more of these questions is a strong indicator that speaking to our support team or a counselling professional would be beneficial.

3
Talk to Someone You Trust
Sharing what you are experiencing with a trusted family member, friend, or colleague can reduce shame and isolation. You do not have to manage this alone.
4
Seek Professional Counselling
Professional counsellors specialising in behavioural addictions can provide structured, evidence-based support. Kaan Pete Roi is a mental health support line available to people in Bangladesh experiencing distress.
Kaan Pete Roi — Mental Health Helpline (Bangladesh): Kaan Pete Roi is a volunteer-run emotional support and counselling service operating in Bangladesh. They provide confidential, non-judgmental listening and referral support for individuals experiencing personal difficulties including gambling-related distress. Contact details are available via their official organisation. gb997 is not affiliated with Kaan Pete Roi but recommends them as a trusted independent resource.

Who Can Use These Resources?
These resources are available to all gb997 registered players, their family members, and anyone who is concerned about a person's gambling behaviour. You do not need to be in crisis — early intervention is always the most effective approach.

Parental Controls & Minor Protection

Protecting minors from exposure to online gambling is a responsibility that gb997 takes seriously. While gb997's registration process includes age confirmation and KYC verification, parents and guardians also play a critical role in ensuring that children and teenagers do not access online gambling platforms on shared devices.

gb997 strongly recommends that parents and guardians who share a computer, tablet, or mobile phone with minors take active steps to restrict access to gambling websites. Third-party parental control software can block access to gambling-related content at the device or network level, providing an additional layer of protection beyond what gb997 can enforce remotely.

Report Underage Access Immediately: If you believe a minor has accessed or registered on gb997 using false age information, contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. We will investigate and close the account without delay, and any deposits made will be returned.

gb997 also asks all registered players to be mindful of their own account security. Your gb997 account credentials are personal — sharing them with others, including adult family members, is a breach of our Terms and Conditions and may expose your account to unauthorised use. Keep your username and password confidential at all times.

Quick Protection Checklist
Account Security Tip: Enable two-factor authentication on your gb997 account for an extra layer of protection against unauthorised logins by anyone in your household.
