Responsible Gaming at 71bat
At 71bat, we believe that gaming should always be enjoyable, controlled, and within your means. We are committed to providing every player in Bangladesh with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to play responsibly — because your wellbeing always comes first.
71bat takes responsible gaming seriously. We have built a comprehensive set of player-protection tools and policies specifically designed for our Bangladesh player base. Below you will find everything you need to understand how we keep gaming safe, fun, and within healthy boundaries.
Gambling is a form of entertainment — not a guaranteed source of income. At 71bat, we want every player from Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and across Bangladesh to enjoy our cricket betting, live casino, and slot games as a leisure activity, always within personal financial limits. We strongly encourage players to set budgets before they start playing, and to treat any losses as the cost of entertainment rather than money that needs to be recovered.
Problem gambling is a recognised condition that can affect anyone. The 71bat responsible gaming programme exists to help players identify early warning signs, access practical tools to manage their play, and seek professional support if gambling stops being fun. Our support team is available around the clock to assist any player who feels their gambling is getting out of control.
The measures described on this page are available to all registered 71bat players at no cost. You do not need to justify your reasons for using any of these tools — they are here for you to use freely, at any time, without question.
71bat provides six core responsible gaming tools available to every registered player. Use them individually or in combination to maintain control over your play.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the amount you deposit into your 71bat account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. Limits can be decreased immediately but increases take 7 days to take effect — this cooling-off period is intentional and protects you from impulsive decisions.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set time period. When your cumulative losses reach the threshold you have defined, 71bat will prevent further real-money wagering until the limit period expires. This tool is especially useful for players who find it difficult to walk away after a losing run.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration to control how long you spend on the platform in a single sitting. When your session timer expires, you will receive a clear on-screen notification and the option to end your session. Regular breaks help maintain perspective and prevent extended play driven by emotion rather than enjoyment.
Reality Checks
Activate recurring reality check pop-ups that appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each pop-up displays your current session duration, net win/loss for the session, and gives you a clear prompt to continue or stop. Reality checks cut through the immersive nature of gaming and restore perspective.
Time-Out (Cool-Off)
Take a short break from the 71bat platform for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account remains open and your balance is preserved. Time-outs are reversible after the selected period expires; self-exclusion is not.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is causing serious harm, self-exclusion permanently closes your 71bat account for a minimum period of 6 months (or permanently, if you choose). During self-exclusion, you cannot open a new account. Any remaining balance will be returned to your original payment method (bKash, Nagad, etc.) after identity verification.
All responsible gaming tools are accessible directly from your 71bat account settings. Follow these steps to set up your protections in under two minutes.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important step toward getting help. If you recognise any of these patterns in yourself, please reach out to our support team immediately.

Account Settings PanelThese are the specific commitments 71bat makes to every player in Bangladesh as part of our responsible gaming programme.
-
Strict Age Verification — 21+ Only
71bat verifies the age of every player at registration and before the first withdrawal is processed. Players must be 21 years of age or older to open an account and access real-money gaming. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 will be immediately closed and all funds returned to the originating payment method.
-
No Pressure Marketing
71bat does not send unsolicited promotional communications to players who have opted out. We do not use aggressive re-engagement tactics, manipulative urgency messaging, or personalised gambling nudges targeting players who are showing signs of problem gambling. Marketing communications can be disabled at any time from your account settings.
-
Proactive Monitoring
71bat's platform monitors player activity for patterns associated with problem gambling — including rapid escalation of bet sizes, extended session durations, frequent deposits after losses, and irregular play patterns at unusual hours (Bangladesh Standard Time). When our systems flag a concern, our responsible gaming team reaches out directly to check in with the player.
-
Immediate Tool Activation
All player-requested restrictions — deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion — are activated immediately upon request. We do not delay, question, or apply cooling-off periods to restrictions requested by the player. Only requests to reverse or loosen a restriction are subject to a waiting period, and only to protect you from impulsive decisions made during play.
-
Staff Training
All 71bat customer support staff receive dedicated training in responsible gaming practices. Every team member is equipped to identify signs of problem gambling in player conversations, respond with empathy and appropriate information, and escalate cases to the responsible gaming team without the player needing to ask. Support is delivered in English and is available around the clock.
-
Programme Continuous Improvement
71bat reviews its responsible gaming programme regularly. We analyse aggregated, anonymised data on how players use protection tools, update our intervention criteria as new research emerges, and expand our tool set in response to player feedback and industry developments. Our goal is to remain at the forefront of responsible gaming practices for the Bangladesh online gaming market.
Keep gambling in perspective. Gambling on 71bat — whether you are betting on a Bangladesh Tigers T20 match, playing a slot game, or joining a live casino table — should always be treated as entertainment. Set a budget before you start, accept that losses are part of the game, and never chase losses by increasing your bets in an attempt to recover money.
Never gamble under the influence. Alcohol, emotional distress, or extreme fatigue can impair your judgment and lead to decisions you would not ordinarily make. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or under the influence of any substance, close the platform and return when you are in a clear, calm state of mind.
Protect your login credentials. Never share your 71bat username or password with anyone, including family members. Shared accounts make it impossible to properly track individual gambling patterns and prevent responsible gaming tools from working effectively. Each person who wants to use 71bat must register their own individual account.
Parental controls. If you share a mobile device or computer with children or younger family members in your household in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere in Bangladesh, we strongly recommend installing parental control software to prevent underage access to online gambling platforms. Popular options include Google Family Link and similar tools available on Android and iOS devices.
Gambling is never a financial solution. If you are facing financial hardship — whether related to business pressures, family obligations, or the cost of living — gambling is not the answer. The odds on every game are designed to favour the house over time. Treating gambling as a way to earn income or solve financial problems is a significant risk factor for problem gambling.
Tip: Before each gaming session, decide in advance how much time and money you are prepared to spend, and commit to stopping when either limit is reached — regardless of whether you are winning or losing. This single habit is one of the most effective ways to keep gambling enjoyable and within control.
