Safe Play Framework

zerbet Responsible
Gaming Commitment

zerbet believes that gambling should always be an enjoyable, controlled activity. Our Responsible Gaming framework gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, knowledge, and support needed to stay in control and play safely.

18+ Only Deposit Limits Self-Exclusion Time-Out Tools

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At zerbet, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core pillar of how we operate. We are committed to providing a platform where Bangladeshi players can enjoy cricket betting, slots, live casino games, and more in an environment that is transparent, fair, and designed with player well-being as a first priority.

zerbet acknowledges that, while the vast majority of players engage with gambling as a recreational activity, a small number of individuals may develop harmful patterns. Our Responsible Gaming framework exists to identify at-risk behaviour early, equip every player with effective self-management tools, and ensure that help is always accessible when it is needed most.

This page outlines zerbet's full suite of player protection measures, explains how to use each tool, and provides guidance on recognising when gambling may be crossing from entertainment into a concern that requires attention. All tools described here are available directly through your zerbet account. If you cannot locate a particular feature, contact our support team at [email protected] and an agent will assist you promptly.

zerbet's pledge: We will never use high-pressure promotional tactics to encourage players to gamble beyond their means. We will always make it easy — never difficult — to set limits, take a break, or close an account. Responsible gaming features are accessible from your account dashboard at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Age Restriction & Verification

zerbet operates strictly as an 18+ platform. Access to any real-money gambling feature — including sports betting on cricket and other events, online slots, live casino tables, and all other games — is restricted to adults aged 18 and above. This restriction applies to all players regardless of location within Bangladesh.

Age verification is a mandatory step in the zerbet registration process. Every player is required to confirm their date of birth at signup and to pass zerbet's Know Your Customer (KYC) identity check before making their first withdrawal. The KYC process may require submission of a valid government-issued identity document such as a National ID (NID), passport, or birth certificate, along with supporting proof of address.

zerbet reserves the right to request age and identity verification documents at any stage of the player's lifecycle — including at the time of a withdrawal request, when unusual account activity is detected, or as part of a periodic compliance review. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 will be immediately suspended, all funds will be frozen, and the matter will be escalated in accordance with zerbet's Terms & Conditions.

Protecting Minors at Home

If you share a device with younger family members, zerbet strongly encourages you to use available parental control software to block access to gambling websites. Solutions such as Net Nanny, Kaspersky Safe Kids, and similar tools can restrict access to zerbet.net and other gambling platforms on shared computers, tablets, and smartphones. Always log out of your zerbet account after each session and never share your login credentials with anyone else.

18+ Only — No Exceptions. Underage gambling is illegal and causes serious harm to young people. zerbet's age verification procedures are enforced rigorously. Any attempt to circumvent age verification, including the use of falsified documents, is a serious violation of zerbet's Terms & Conditions and may be referred to relevant authorities.

Player Protection Tools

zerbet provides a comprehensive set of player protection tools that give you direct, immediate control over your gambling activity. These tools are designed to support healthy play habits and to help you set boundaries before problems arise — not only after. Every tool listed below is available free of charge to all registered zerbet players.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once a limit is active, deposits exceeding that threshold are automatically declined. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum net loss you are willing to accept over a set time period. When your losses reach the defined threshold, zerbet will restrict further real-money play until the limit period resets or you contact support to request a review.

Session Time Reminders

Enable notifications that alert you when you have been playing for a set duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom interval. These reminders help you stay aware of time spent on the platform and take regular breaks.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from zerbet for 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or up to 6 weeks. During a cool-off period, your account is temporarily suspended for real-money play. The period cannot be shortened once activated, but you may request an extension.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from zerbet for a minimum of 6 months. Self-exclusion is the strongest protective measure available and is intended for players who feel they need a significant break. See Section 5 for full details.

Activity Statements

Request a full activity statement showing your deposit history, withdrawal history, net win/loss position, and time spent playing over any period. Reviewing your statement regularly helps you maintain an accurate picture of your gambling activity.

Deposit & Wager Limits

Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling spending within a budget you are comfortable with. zerbet supports three limit periods — daily, weekly, and monthly — and you may set limits across all three simultaneously. Limits apply across all payment methods available on zerbet, including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, and Mastercard.

Limit Type Period Min Amount Takes Effect Status
Daily Deposit Limit 24 hours rolling ৳500 Immediately (if reducing) Available
Weekly Deposit Limit 7-day rolling ৳1,000 Immediately (if reducing) Available
Monthly Deposit Limit Calendar month ৳2,000 Immediately (if reducing) Available
Single Wager Limit Per bet / per round ৳50 Next session Available
Daily Loss Limit 24 hours rolling ৳200 Immediately (if reducing) Available

How to Set a Deposit Limit

Deposit and loss limits can be configured directly from your zerbet account settings under the Responsible Gaming tab. If you experience any difficulty locating this section, our 24/7 support team at [email protected] can apply a limit on your behalf immediately upon request.

Important: Increasing an existing deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour review period before the new, higher limit takes effect. This cooling-off period is intentional and cannot be waived — it gives you time to reconsider whether the increase is genuinely in your best interest.

Self-Exclusion & Time-Out

Self-exclusion is zerbet's strongest player protection measure and is designed for players who feel that gambling has become difficult to control. When you self-exclude, your zerbet account is fully suspended for real-money gambling activity for the duration of your chosen exclusion period. zerbet will also take reasonable steps to prevent promotional communications from reaching you during that period.

Self-Exclusion Periods

zerbet offers the following self-exclusion durations:

  • 6 months — the minimum self-exclusion period
  • 1 year
  • 2 years
  • 5 years
  • Permanent exclusion — indefinite closure with no option to reopen

Once a self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed or shortened before the chosen end date. If you choose a temporary exclusion period (6 months to 5 years), you may request reinstatement after the period has expired by contacting zerbet's support team and completing a 7-day reflection period before your account is reactivated. This additional cooling-off period ensures that reinstatement is a considered, deliberate decision.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

  • 1
    Log in to your zerbet account Navigate to Account Settings and select the Responsible Gaming section from the menu.
  • 2
    Select "Self-Exclusion" Choose your preferred exclusion duration from the available options (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent).
  • 3
    Confirm your decision Review the terms of the exclusion and confirm. The exclusion takes effect immediately upon confirmation.
  • 4
    Receive confirmation zerbet will send a confirmation email to your registered address. Your account will be suspended within minutes and all marketing communications will be suppressed.
  • 5
    Alternatively, contact support directly If you prefer to request self-exclusion via email, contact [email protected] with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request — [Your Username]". Our team will action the request immediately and confirm by return email.

Time-Out vs Self-Exclusion: A time-out is a short break lasting between 24 hours and 6 weeks. It is designed for players who want a temporary pause without fully closing their account. Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure for players who feel their gambling has become genuinely problematic. If in doubt, zerbet recommends choosing self-exclusion over a time-out — you can always revisit the decision after the exclusion period ends.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious to the person experiencing it. Being aware of the early warning signs helps you take action before gambling causes significant harm to your finances, relationships, or mental health. zerbet encourages all players to review the following indicators honestly and regularly.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose.
Gambling to chase losses — placing further bets in an attempt to win back money already lost.
Thinking about gambling persistently throughout the day, including during work, study, or family time.
Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when you are not gambling or when you try to reduce your play.
Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial institutions specifically to fund gambling activity.
Lying to family members or others close to you about the amount of time or money you spend gambling.
Neglecting work, school, household responsibilities, or important relationships because of gambling.
Feeling that you need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to feel the same level of excitement.
Repeatedly making unsuccessful attempts to cut back, control, or stop gambling entirely.
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other difficult emotions.
Continuing to gamble even after experiencing significant financial loss or negative consequences.
Feeling a strong sense of guilt, shame, or regret after a gambling session but returning to play again shortly after.

If you recognise three or more of the above signs in your own behaviour, zerbet strongly encourages you to make use of the self-exclusion tool (Section 5), set strict deposit limits (Section 4), and reach out to zerbet's support team or one of the external resources listed in Section 8 of this page.

Self-Assessment

The following self-assessment questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your gambling habits. Answer each question as truthfully as you can. This tool is for personal reflection only — your answers are not recorded by zerbet and do not affect your account in any way.

If you answer "Yes" to three or more of these questions, zerbet recommends that you consider using one or more of the player protection tools described on this page, or speak with a professional counsellor about your gambling behaviour.

General Responsible Gambling Guidance

In addition to zerbet's internal support team, there are a number of general principles and internationally recognised responsible gambling resources that can provide guidance and assistance:

  • Gamblers Anonymous: A fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other, with the aim of solving their common problem and helping others to recover from a gambling disorder. Meetings are available in many formats including online.
  • GamCare: An internationally recognised organisation providing information, advice, support, and free counselling for the prevention and treatment of problem gambling. Their resources are available in English and cover a wide range of gambling-related concerns.
  • BeGambleAware: Provides free, confidential support and information to anyone affected by problem gambling, including friends and family members of those who gamble.
  • Your local GP or mental health professional: If gambling is affecting your mental health — including causing anxiety, depression, or thoughts of self-harm — please speak to a qualified healthcare professional in your area as a matter of priority.

Tips for Safer Play at zerbet

  • Always set a personal budget before you start playing and stick to it, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
  • Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to solve financial problems.
  • Take regular breaks during your sessions and use zerbet's session time reminder feature to help you stay aware of how long you have been playing.
  • Never gamble when you are under the influence of alcohol, medication, or substances that affect your judgement.
  • Never gamble when you are feeling emotionally vulnerable — when stressed, angry, upset, or depressed, the risk of making poor decisions is significantly higher.
  • Review your zerbet activity statement regularly so you always have an accurate picture of your win/loss position and time spent on the platform.
  • If you feel that you are losing control, use zerbet's deposit limit or self-exclusion tools immediately — do not wait until a problem becomes serious.

You are not alone. Millions of people around the world experience difficulties with gambling at some point in their lives. Reaching out for support — whether to zerbet's team, a trusted friend or family member, or a professional counsellor — is the most important step you can take. zerbet will always support you in making that step as easy as possible.
