How We Support You

Responsible betting isn't a restriction — it's the path to a better experience

Setting Betting Limits
Decide in advance how much you want to bet per day, week, or month. Setting a limit means you can never go over budget. You can do this at any time from your Goldbets account settings.
Time limit controls
Set your own time limits. Enabling a daily session timer will alert you when your allotted time is up. Keep betting separate from family time and work.
Cooling-Off Break
If you need a short break, set a cooling-off period of 24 hours to 30 days. During this time, you won't be able to place bets from your account. Take the time to reset and come back fresh.
Self-Exclusion Feature
If you feel betting is becoming hard to control, choose a Self-Exclusion period of 6 months to 5 years. Your account will be completely inactive during this time.
Betting history review
Your full betting history, deposit records, and withdrawal history are available to view at any time. Understanding your own spending patterns makes it easier to make responsible decisions.
Professional Support Connections
When needed, Goldbets can connect you directly with professional counselling services. Struggling with addiction is nothing to be ashamed of — reaching out in time is the smart move.

Keep in mind: Betting is entertainment — not a source of income. Winning is never guaranteed on any bet. Only wager money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

What responsible gambling actually means

Responsible play means enjoying betting as a controlled form of entertainment. Goldbets wants every member to bet with enjoyment — but never at the cost of their financial or mental wellbeing.

Online betting is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. With smartphones so widely accessible, placing a bet from home has never been easier. But that convenience comes with risks — particularly a rising trend of betting addiction among young people. That's why responsible betting is more than a policy at Goldbets; it's a core part of who we are.

Betting responsibly means knowing your budget, respecting your time limits, not chasing losses out of frustration, and taking a break when you need one. Follow these principles and betting can genuinely be an enjoyable experience.

The golden rule: Never bet with borrowed money or funds set aside for essential expenses. Keep your betting budget separate.

How to Set Your Own Limits

After logging into your Goldbets account, you can set betting limits directly from the Settings menu. Follow the steps below:

1
Set a deposit limit

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month. Once set, increasing the limit requires a 24-hour waiting period — but lowering it takes effect immediately.

2
Set a Loss Limit

Once you've lost a set amount, the system will automatically pause your betting activity. This helps break the cycle of chasing losses.

3
Enable Session Timer

Set a daily limit for how long you spend on the platform. You'll get a reminder when your time is up. It's also a great way to manage your screen time.

4
Enable Reality Check

A pop-up appears every 30 minutes or hour showing how long you've been playing, how many bets you've placed, and how much you've won or lost. This keeps you informed so you can make mindful decisions.

5
Take a Cooling-Off Break or Self-Exclude

Taking a break every now and then is healthy, even if nothing feels wrong. Use Cooling-Off to pause for 24 hours up to 30 days. For longer-term concerns, choose Self-Exclusion.

Recognising the signs of problematic betting

Most people who bet regularly never run into problems. But for some, betting can gradually spiral out of control. Watch out for the following warning signs:

  • Repeatedly betting to chase and recover losses.
  • Spending beyond your budget on betting.
  • Hiding your betting from family or friends.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when you're not betting.
  • Thinking about betting during work hours or while studying.
  • Betting with borrowed money or dipping into savings.
  • Telling yourself "just one more time" — and falling into the same pattern again.
  • Trying to cut back or stop betting — and failing.

If you recognise 2 or 3 of these signs in yourself, take a moment to pause. Don't blame yourself — this is a problem that can be addressed. The Goldbets support team is always here to help.

Urgent Reminder: Problem betting is a mental health issue — not a sign of weakness. Reaching out for help takes courage.

Self-Assessment — Where Do You Stand?

Go through the questions below and reflect on your own experience. Take a moment to consider how many times you answer "Yes".

Outcome Analysis: 0–1 Yes = Normal. 2–3 Yes = Proceed with caution. 4+ Yes = Seek help. Contact us at support@goldbets.im.

The Role of Family & Loved Ones

Sometimes the people closest to us notice a problem before we do. If you suspect a loved one has a problematic betting habit, be there for them.

  • Express your concern rather than speaking in anger.
  • Speak to them with empathy, not blame.
  • Share information about professional support resources.
  • Rather than giving money directly during a financial crisis, find other practical ways to help.
  • Take care of your mental health too.

Goldbets allows family members to raise concerns about an account. Contact support@goldbets.im and our team will assist confidentially.

Goldbets' commitment to responsible gambling

Goldbets isn't just focused on profit. The wellbeing and safety of every member matters just as much to us. Here are the concrete steps we've taken to honour that commitment:

  • Age verification is mandatory: No major transactions are allowed without KYC verification. Account registration is not permitted for anyone under 18.
  • Advertising Restrictions: We never use promotional tactics designed to encourage addictive behaviour.
  • Staff Training: Our customer support team is trained in responsible betting practices.
  • Active Monitoring: Our system automatically flags unusual betting patterns when they are detected.
  • Self-Exclusion Compliance: No promotional communications or tempting offers are sent during a self-exclusion period.

Contact for Support: support@goldbets.im — we respond in Bengali. You'll typically hear back within 24 hours.

FAQ

No. Self-exclusion only deactivates your betting activity — your balance remains fully protected. You can withdraw your funds at the end of the exclusion period or by contacting us.

Cooling-off is a short-term break (1 to 30 days) — a chance to step back and clear your head. Self-exclusion is a longer-term solution (6 months to 5 years) — for when betting has genuinely become a problem.

Yes. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. However, requests to increase a limit require a 24-hour waiting period before they go through. This helps prevent impulsive over-betting in the heat of the moment.

Yes. You can email support@goldbets.im to request permanent account closure. Please withdraw your balance before closing.
