Player Wellbeing

Responsible Gaming at 12bank

12bank is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable entertainment experience for all players across Bangladesh. Gambling should always be a leisure activity — one that stays within your control, your budget, and your time. This page brings together every tool, resource, and guideline you need to play responsibly and seek help if you ever need it.

18+ Adults Only Self-Exclusion Available 24/7 Player Support
Important Notice — Please Read Before You Play

Gambling carries a risk of financial loss. It is never a reliable source of income and should not be used to address financial difficulties. 12bank's games and betting markets are intended for adults aged 18 years and above only. If you believe gambling is negatively affecting your life, your relationships, or your finances, please use the tools on this page or contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. Help is available at no cost and with full confidentiality.

What Responsible Gaming Means at 12bank

Responsible gaming is the set of policies, tools, and practices that 12bank applies to ensure that gambling on our platform remains a form of entertainment — not a source of harm. It is a shared responsibility between 12bank and our players. We provide the infrastructure; you apply the habits.

At 12bank, responsible gaming is not a checkbox. It is embedded in the design of our platform, the training of our support team, and the features we build for every account. We actively monitor for patterns of problem gambling behaviour and intervene proactively where necessary — all while respecting your privacy and treating you with dignity.

Whether you are a cricket betting enthusiast, a slots player, or a live casino regular, the same responsible gaming framework applies to every product on the 12bank platform. The tools described on this page are available to every registered player, free of charge, and can be activated at any time through your account dashboard or by contacting [email protected].

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

12bank provides a comprehensive set of player-controlled tools designed to help you manage your gambling activity. Each tool can be activated independently through your account settings or by contacting our support team at [email protected].

01
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before they come into force. You can set your deposit limit at any time from your account dashboard or by emailing [email protected].

02
Loss Limits

Define the maximum net amount you are willing to lose over a set period (daily, weekly, or monthly). When your cumulative losses reach the threshold, your account will be temporarily restricted from further wagering for the remainder of the period. This tool prevents chasing losses — one of the most recognised risk factors for problem gambling — and helps you maintain budget discipline across all games on the platform.

03
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When you reach your self-set time limit, you will receive an on-screen notification and be given the option to end the session or log out. Tracking time spent gambling is a fundamental healthy-play habit — it is easy to lose track, especially during live cricket matches or slot sessions. This tool keeps you informed and in control at all times.

04
Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up notifications — at intervals you choose, from every 30 minutes to every 4 hours — that display your current session duration, total bets placed, net win/loss for the session, and a prompt to review your activity. Reality checks interrupt the flow of play and bring you back to a conscious, deliberate decision-making state. You can dismiss the reminder and continue playing, or use it as a natural pause point to step away.

05
Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gambling by activating a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account remains open but you cannot log in to place bets or access any games. Your account balance is preserved and withdrawals can still be processed. Cooling-off is suitable for players who feel they need a brief pause but do not wish to pursue full self-exclusion.

06
Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a formal, binding commitment to stop gambling on the 12bank platform for a defined period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanently. Once activated, your account will be closed, all marketing communications will cease immediately, and you will not be permitted to open a new account during the exclusion period. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours of receipt. To self-exclude, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".

Six Pillars of Player Protection

Mandatory Age Verification

Every new 12bank account undergoes a mandatory age verification check before any deposit or bet can be placed. Players must be 18 years or older. Where automated checks are inconclusive, our KYC team will request a government-issued photo ID — National ID card, passport, or birth certificate — before the account is activated. There are no exceptions to this requirement.

Proactive Play Monitoring

12bank's platform continuously analyses account activity for behavioural indicators associated with problem gambling — including rapid increases in bet size, frequent late-night sessions, repeated failed withdrawal reversals, and accelerating deposit frequency. When flagged patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team will reach out to the affected player with a welfare check message and information about available tools.

Confidential Support

All responsible gaming conversations with 12bank's support team are handled with complete confidentiality. Our team members receive dedicated training in problem gambling awareness and are equipped to listen, advise on platform tools, and refer you to external professional support organisations where appropriate. There is no judgment and no pressure — your wellbeing is the only priority in these interactions.

Marketing Opt-Out

Players can opt out of all promotional communications — including bonus offers, reload promotions, and BPL cricket betting notifications — at any time through their account settings or by emailing [email protected]. Players who have activated a self-exclusion or cooling-off period are automatically removed from all marketing lists for the full duration of the restriction, with no manual action required.

Third-Party Exclusion Support

If a family member or trusted person is concerned about a player's gambling activity and the player is unable or unwilling to self-exclude, 12bank allows third parties to submit a welfare concern on behalf of a registered player. Our team will review the concern and, where appropriate, initiate a responsible gaming outreach to the account holder. Contact [email protected] with the subject line "Third-Party Welfare Concern".

Transparent Account History

Every 12bank account includes a full, downloadable transaction and betting history. You can review your deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and net results for any date range at any time. Having clear visibility into your own gambling activity — including total amounts spent — is one of the most effective tools for maintaining perspective and making informed decisions about continued play.

Recognising the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is moving beyond entertainment and beginning to cause harm. If you recognise several of these signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to use 12bank's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools and to seek professional support.

  • Chasing losses — placing additional bets to try to recover money lost in previous sessions, rather than accepting the loss and stopping.
  • Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose — using funds set aside for rent, groceries, household bills, or family expenses such as school fees or Eid preparations.
  • Difficulty stopping — feeling unable to walk away from a game or betting market even when you intended to, or repeatedly extending sessions beyond your planned time.
  • Gambling as an escape — using gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, or personal problems rather than as a form of leisure entertainment.
  • Secrecy and concealment — hiding gambling activity from family members, lying about time or money spent, or feeling shame or guilt about your gambling habits.
  • Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, falling behind on family obligations, or reducing time with loved ones in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere in Bangladesh because of gambling activity.
  • Borrowing to gamble — taking loans, using credit facilities such as those offered by banks or mobile financial services, or asking family and friends for money specifically to fund gambling.

Ask Yourself These Questions

If you answer "yes" to three or more of the following questions, consider activating one of 12bank's responsible gaming tools or contacting our support team for a confidential conversation.

Q1. Have you ever spent more money or more time gambling than you originally intended to in a single session?

Q2. Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to reduce or stop your gambling?

Q3. Have you used gambling as a way to escape problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression?

Q4. Have you ever returned to gamble again after losing money, with the intention of winning it back?

Q5. Have you lied to family members, a partner, or others close to you to conceal the extent of your involvement in gambling?

Q6. Have you ever jeopardised or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational opportunity because of gambling?

Q7. Have you ever relied on others to provide money to relieve a financial situation caused by gambling?

If you answered yes to 3 or more questions: Please contact 12bank's responsible gaming team at [email protected] or use the self-exclusion tool immediately. Acknowledging the issue is the most important first step.

How to Activate Protection Tools

Activating any of 12bank's responsible gaming tools takes less than two minutes. Follow the steps below, or contact our support team directly if you need assistance.

1
Log in to Your 12bank Account

Access your account via the 12bank Login page using your registered mobile number and password. Ensure you are using a secure, private connection — avoid logging in from shared or public devices when making account-level changes.

2
Navigate to Account Settings

Once logged in, open the Account menu (top-right corner of the platform) and select "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" from the settings menu. This section contains all available limit and exclusion tools.

3
Select the Tool You Need

Choose from Deposit Limits, Loss Limits, Session Time Limits, Reality Check Reminders, Cooling-Off Period, or Self-Exclusion. Each tool has its own configuration screen with clear instructions in English.

4
Confirm Your Selection

Set your preferred parameters (amounts, durations, intervals) and confirm. Restrictions take effect immediately for limit reductions and exclusions. Limit increases require a mandatory 24-hour review period before they are applied, giving you time to reconsider.

5
Contact Support if Needed

If you are unable to access your account settings, or if you need to activate self-exclusion urgently, email [email protected] with the subject line that matches your request (e.g., "Deposit Limit Request" or "Self-Exclusion Request"). Our team will action the request within 24 hours and send you a confirmation.

Common Questions

No. Self-exclusion is a firm, binding commitment. Once activated, the exclusion cannot be reversed or shortened before the chosen expiry date. This is intentional — the cooling-off period during a self-exclusion is a critical part of its effectiveness. If your exclusion period is shorter than required, please contact us to extend it.

No. Your account balance is fully preserved during any self-exclusion or cooling-off period. You may request a withdrawal of your remaining balance at any time during an exclusion, and the funds will be returned to your registered bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account. Bonus balances that have not yet met wagering requirements will be forfeited upon self-exclusion activation.

Deposit limit reductions take effect immediately upon confirmation. Deposit limit increases are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before they become active. This delay is a deliberate consumer protection measure to ensure that increases are considered decisions rather than impulsive ones.

Yes — setting deposit or loss limits does not automatically remove you from marketing communications. However, you can opt out of promotional messages at any time through your account notification settings. Players under self-exclusion or cooling-off are automatically opted out of all promotions for the duration of the restriction.

Yes, entirely. All responsible gaming tools — including deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, reality checks, cooling-off, and self-exclusion — are provided at no cost to any registered 12bank player. There are no administration fees or charges for activating, modifying, or removing any of these tools.

Healthy Play Habits

Most players who enjoy 12bank's cricket betting, slots, and live casino games do so responsibly. The following habits help keep gambling enjoyable, affordable, and firmly in the entertainment category.

Set a budget before you start. Decide exactly how much you are comfortable spending before opening any game or placing any bet. Treat this as an entertainment expense — the same way you would budget for a cinema ticket or a meal out in Dhaka. Once the budget is spent, stop.
Gamble for fun, not profit. The house edge means that, over time, the majority of players will lose more than they win. Gambling is entertainment with a cost — approach it that way. Never gamble with the expectation of making money or solving a financial problem.
Set a time limit for every session. Decide in advance how long you will play and stick to it. Use 12bank's session timer to enforce the limit automatically. Taking regular breaks — especially during long cricket matches or extended slot sessions — helps maintain perspective and prevents fatigue-driven decisions.
Never chase losses. If you have reached your budget and are behind, stop. The impulse to place one more bet to recover losses is one of the most reliable signs that gambling is moving beyond healthy entertainment. Accept the loss, walk away, and return another day if you choose.
Do not gamble when emotional or under pressure. Stress, grief, financial difficulty, or relationship problems are not a good foundation for gambling decisions. When you are not in a calm, clear state of mind, the risk of impulsive or excessive behaviour increases significantly. Take a break and return when you are in a better place.
Never borrow money to gamble. Using bKash credit, bank loans, or money borrowed from family or friends to fund gambling is a serious warning sign. If you are considering borrowing to play, please use 12bank's self-exclusion tool immediately and contact our support team at [email protected].
