Online betting can be a form of entertainment — when approached with the right mindset and within clear boundaries. But it's easy to miss the moment it shifts from fun to a problem. Hibij's Responsible Gaming section is here to help you recognise that line and get support when you need it.

Is Betting Fun or a Problem?

The heart of responsible play is this: is betting bringing joy to your life, or stress? When it stays fun, it's entertainment. But when you find yourself chasing losses with bigger bets, hiding it from family, or dipping into rent and grocery money — that's when it's becoming a problem.

Hibij believes everyone can bet mindfully. That's why we keep all the information on this page and make our tools easy to access.

Simple Rules for Healthy Betting

  • Only bet what you can afford to lose without it affecting your life. Betting is never a source of income – it's the cost of entertainment.
  • Set your monthly betting budget in advance And stop when it's done.
  • Don't bet under the influence of alcohol or strong emotions. Avoid betting when you're angry or upset.
  • Take regular breaks. Continuous betting impairs your ability to make sound decisions.
  • Keep Betting a Hobby — at set times each week, within a set budget.

A Real-Life Example: Say your monthly income is ৳30,000. Experts recommend keeping entertainment spending to no more than 5% of your income. That puts your betting budget at a maximum of ৳1,500 per month — an amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

How Family Members Can Help

If you think a family member is betting excessively, approach them calmly rather than with blame. Problem gambling is a mental health issue — not a lack of willpower. Encourage them to seek professional help.

Hibij offers an option where a trusted family member or close person can request a review of the betting limits on a specific account. Please contact support directly for assistance with this.

Self-Exclusion — The Strongest Step

Self-exclusion works best when sticking to limits on your own feels too difficult. With Hibij's self-exclusion feature, you can close your account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently.

When Self-Exclusion is active:

  • No marketing or bonus offers will be sent.
  • Any login attempt will be automatically blocked by the system.
  • Any attempt to open a new account under the same name or details will be declined.
  • Any balance in your account will be kept safe and returned to you at the end of your self-exclusion period.

Remember: Self-exclusion is a serious decision. Hibij respects it fully and will not reactivate an account before the self-exclusion period has ended.

The Hibij Commitment

Hibij never pressures users to bet more. Our system never targets problem bettors with bonuses or promotions. We regularly monitor user betting patterns and proactively reach out if we spot signs of concern.

Responsible play isn't just about following limits — it's about keeping betting a small part of your life, not the whole of it. Hibij stands behind that philosophy.
