Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At goldbit, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a foundational principle that shapes every product decision we make. We believe that online casino games, cricket betting, and slot machines should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to generate income or escape personal difficulties. Our platform is designed for players in Bangladesh who approach gambling with clear limits, realistic expectations, and a healthy mindset.

goldbit operates on the principle that the vast majority of our players gamble safely and responsibly. We also recognise that for a small proportion of players, gambling can develop into a harmful habit. Our responsible gaming programme exists to identify those players early, equip them with practical tools to regain control, and connect them with professional support where needed — all delivered in English, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Every goldbit account — whether funded through bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank card — comes with the full suite of responsible gaming controls described on this page. There is no premium tier required to access these protections. They are available to every registered player immediately upon account activation.

18+ Age Restriction

goldbit strictly enforces an 18+ age policy across all aspects of the platform. Players must be 18 years of age or older at the time of registration to open a goldbit account. This policy applies to all players in Bangladesh regardless of the payment method used, the type of game played, or the size of the deposit made.

Why Age Verification Matters

Gambling is not appropriate for minors. Young people are more susceptible to developing problematic gambling habits, and their decision-making frameworks are not yet fully developed. Rigorous age verification is one of the most important safeguards a responsible online gambling platform can implement — and goldbit takes this obligation seriously.

Our Verification Process

• At registration, all players must confirm they are 18 years or older by checking an explicit declaration.
• During the KYC (Know Your Customer) process, goldbit requires players to submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth registration certificate — to confirm date of birth.
• Full withdrawal access is only granted once age and identity have been verified to goldbit's satisfaction.
• Accounts where age verification cannot be completed will be suspended pending document submission. Funds deposited into a suspended account will not be accessible for wagering.

Protecting Minors in Your Household

If you share a device or a mobile phone with younger family members in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or anywhere else in Bangladesh, we strongly encourage you to:

• Log out of your goldbit account after every session.
• Never save your goldbit password on a shared device.
• Use your device's built-in parental control features to restrict access to gambling websites.
• Keep your bKash, Nagad, and Rocket mobile wallet PINs confidential at all times.

Deposit Limits

One of the most effective responsible gaming tools available to goldbit players is the ability to set a hard cap on how much money you deposit into your account over a defined time period. Deposit limits are a proactive measure — the best time to set one is before you feel you need it, not after a session you regret.

Available Limit Types

How to Set or Modify a Deposit Limit

1. Log in to your goldbit account.
2. Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits.
3. Select the limit type (daily, weekly, or monthly) and enter your desired amount in BDT.
4. Confirm the change. A reduction in your limit takes effect immediately. An increase requires a mandatory 24-hour waiting period to give you time to reflect on the decision.

Alternatively, you can contact the goldbit support team via live chat or email at any time and a support agent will apply the limit to your account on your behalf — no waiting for business hours.

Time-Out & Cool-Off Period

Sometimes a player needs a short break — not a permanent self-exclusion, but a defined pause to reset, reflect, and return with a clearer head. goldbit's time-out and cool-off tools are designed precisely for this purpose. They are available to every registered goldbit player at no cost and with immediate effect.

Reality Check Notifications

During any gaming session, you can enable reality check notifications via your account settings. These are on-screen alerts that appear at intervals you define (every 30 minutes, every 60 minutes, or every 2 hours) reminding you how long you have been playing, how much you have deposited in the current session, and your net win or loss. Reality checks are a gentle but effective nudge to pause and evaluate whether you want to continue.

Cool-Off Period Options

• 24-Hour Break: Your account is suspended for one full day. All deposits, bets, and game access are disabled during this window.
• 48-Hour Break: A two-day pause. Suitable for players who want a weekend reset.
• 7-Day Break: A one-week cooling-off period. Recommended for players who have had an unusually intense week of gambling.
• 30-Day Break: A full calendar month away from goldbit. This option is recommended for players who feel their gambling frequency has been creeping upward and want a meaningful reset.

What Happens During a Cool-Off Period

• You cannot log in to place bets or access casino games.
• Your account balance is preserved — no funds are forfeited.
• Any pending withdrawals continue to be processed normally.
• You will not receive any promotional communications from goldbit during the break period.
• At the end of the cool-off period, your account is automatically reactivated. You do not need to contact support to resume play.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available at goldbit. It is designed for players who have identified that gambling is having a serious negative impact on their life and who want to remove access to the goldbit platform for an extended and meaningful period of time.

goldbit treats self-exclusion requests with the highest level of priority. When you request self-exclusion, the processing is immediate — your account is locked within minutes of the request being confirmed, at any time of day, including weekends and public holidays such as Eid, Pohela Boishakh (Bengali New Year), Victory Day, and Independence Day.

Self-Exclusion Duration Options

How to Request Self-Exclusion

1. Contact the goldbit support team via live chat (available 24/7 in English) or by emailing support@goldbit — displayed as plain text only, not a clickable link.
2. Clearly state that you wish to self-exclude and specify the duration (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent).
3. The support agent will verify your identity using your registered mobile number and confirm the exclusion.
4. Your account will be locked immediately upon confirmation. You will receive a written confirmation of the exclusion start date and end date (or permanent status) via your registered mobile number.

What Happens to Your Funds

Any real-money balance remaining in your goldbit account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your original payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, or Mastercard) within the standard withdrawal processing time. Bonus balances and bonus-linked winnings are forfeited upon self-exclusion, as the responsible gaming terms supersede all promotional terms.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling is not always obvious — it can develop gradually over time and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. goldbit encourages all players to periodically and honestly reflect on their gambling behaviour. The following signs may indicate that gambling is becoming or has already become a problem.

If two or more of the signs above apply to you on a regular basis, we encourage you to take our self-assessment in the next section and to reach out to the goldbit support team or a professional counselling service. You are not alone — problem gambling is a recognised behavioural condition with effective treatment options, and many players in Bangladesh have successfully regained control with the right support.

Self-Assessment Questionnaire

The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible gaming screening tools. Answer each question honestly — this self-assessment is private and is not submitted to goldbit. It is provided purely as a reflective exercise to help you evaluate your own relationship with gambling.

For each question, consider your gambling behaviour over the past 12 months and reflect on whether the statement applies to you never, sometimes, or often.

Get Help & Support

If you believe your gambling has become a problem — or if a family member or friend is concerned about your gambling behaviour — there are multiple ways to get help. goldbit's responsible gaming support team is your first point of contact, but professional external counselling is also available to players in Bangladesh.

All contact with the goldbit responsible gaming team is treated with complete confidentiality. Your account information and the details of any responsible gaming request will not be shared with any third party except as required by law. Support is provided in English, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including during Eid, Ramadan, and all public holidays in Bangladesh.

Professional Gambling Support Organisations

In addition to the goldbit responsible gaming team, players in Bangladesh who are experiencing serious gambling-related difficulties are encouraged to seek support from professional mental health and addiction counselling services. Speak to a licensed counsellor, psychologist, or community mental health worker in your city — whether you are based in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, or Cox's Bazar. Community health centres and general hospitals in Bangladesh can refer you to appropriate support services.

Family members and loved ones who are concerned about a person's gambling behaviour are equally encouraged to reach out. The goldbit support team can advise on how to raise concerns with a player on their account and can flag an account for responsible gaming review upon request from an authorised next-of-kin.
