Responsible Gaming
at db555
At db555, we believe gambling should always be entertaining — never stressful. This page explains the tools, policies, and support resources available to every player in Bangladesh to help you stay in control.
Your Safety Toolkit
Six built-in responsible gaming features available to every db555 player in Bangladesh, free of charge.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in BDT directly from your account dashboard. Once a limit is active it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before the higher cap applies.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration so db555 automatically logs you out after a defined period of play. You will receive an on-screen alert when 10 minutes remain in your session. This tool is particularly useful for players who lose track of time during live cricket betting or late-night slots sessions.
Time-Out Period
Take a structured break from db555 for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out your account is suspended and you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. Marketing communications are also paused for the duration of your time-out.
Self-Exclusion
Request a long-term self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent closure. Self-exclusion locks your account, blocks re-registration from the same device and email address, and removes you from all promotional communications. This is a serious, hard-to-reverse measure — please consider it carefully.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, you can set a net loss ceiling per day, week, or month. Once your net losses reach the defined threshold db555 will halt further gameplay for that period, regardless of your remaining account balance. Loss limits reset automatically at the start of each new period.
Reality Check Alerts
Enable periodic on-screen reminders that show how long you have been playing and your net win/loss figure for the session. Reality checks appear every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — your choice. Each alert pauses the game and requires you to actively dismiss it, ensuring you stay aware of your play.
1. Age Restriction Policy
db555 operates a strict 18+ policy. No person under the age of 18 may register an account, make a deposit, or participate in any form of gambling or sports betting on this platform. This policy applies to all players accessing db555 from anywhere in Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh.
At the point of registration, every player is required to declare that they are 18 years of age or older. db555 reserves the right to request identity verification documents — including a National Identity Card (NID) or passport — to confirm a player's age at any point. If a player is found to be under 18, their account will be closed immediately, all winnings will be voided, and any deposits made will be returned to the original payment method where legally permitted.
Zero Tolerance: Allowing a minor to use your db555 account — even temporarily — is a serious breach of our Terms & Conditions. Any account found to have been used by a person under 18 will be permanently closed and the matter may be escalated to relevant authorities.
Verifying Your Age
db555 may conduct age verification checks at any of the following stages: immediately after account registration, before processing a first withdrawal, or at any time following a review of account activity. Players are asked to submit a clear photograph or scanned copy of a valid government-issued ID. The verification process is completed within 24–48 hours on most occasions. Your account may be placed under temporary withdrawal restriction while verification is pending.
2. Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes a problem when it starts affecting your finances, relationships, or mental wellbeing. Be honest with yourself about the signs below.
You are spending more than you can comfortably afford to lose, or gambling with money set aside for essential expenses like rent, food, or bKash/Nagad bill payments.
You feel compelled to chase losses — placing further bets to recover money lost in a previous session rather than accepting the result and stopping.
Gambling is interfering with your sleep, work, studies, or family responsibilities, including missing important occasions or deadlines because of time spent on db555.
You have been hiding your gambling activity from friends or family, or lying about the amount of time or money you spend on betting and casino games.
You feel irritable, anxious, or distressed when you try to reduce or stop gambling, or you need to bet larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement.
You have borrowed money, sold belongings, or taken loans to fund your gambling, or you have neglected financial obligations such as utility bills or mobile top-ups to keep playing.
If you recognise two or more of the signs above in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use one of the tools described on this page — particularly the self-exclusion feature — and to contact the National Mental Health Helpline at 16789 for confidential, free support. You can also email our responsible gaming team at [email protected].
3. Deposit & Loss Limits
db555 gives every player full control over their spending through a flexible limits system. Deposit and loss limits can be set, amended, or removed from the Responsible Gaming section of your account dashboard at any time. The rules governing each type of limit are designed to ensure that protective measures cannot be undone impulsively.
| Limit Type | Available Periods | Takes Effect | Cooling-Off to Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately on activation | 7 days |
| Loss Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately on activation | 7 days |
| Wagering Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately on activation | 7 days |
| Session Duration Limit | Per session (30 min – 8 hrs) | Next login session | 24 hours |
How to Set a Limit
- Log in to your db555 account and navigate to Account Settings.
- Select Responsible Gaming from the left-hand menu.
- Choose the limit type (Deposit, Loss, or Wagering) and the period (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
- Enter your desired limit amount in BDT (৳) and confirm.
- The limit activates immediately and a confirmation will be sent to your registered email address.
Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit or removing it entirely is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period, during which the lower (more protective) limit remains in force. This deliberate friction is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider before loosening a control you set for a good reason.
4. Self-Exclusion Tools
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on db555. It is intended for players who feel that their gambling has become, or is at risk of becoming, a problem. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is immediately and completely suspended for the chosen period.
What Self-Exclusion Does
- Locks your account so you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets for the exclusion period;
- Cancels all pending bonus offers and promotional communications to your email and phone number;
- Flags your registration details (email, mobile number, device fingerprint) to prevent re-registration during the exclusion period;
- Any funds remaining in your account balance at the time of exclusion can be withdrawn — contact [email protected] to arrange this;
- Permanent self-exclusion results in account closure; winnings and balances are processed in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
Available Exclusion Periods
6 Months
A short-term exclusion to help you step back and reassess your relationship with gambling.
1 Year
A medium-term break recommended for players who have noticed recurring patterns of chasing losses.
3 Years
A long-term exclusion for players who want a sustained, extended period away from all online gambling.
Permanent
Irreversible account closure. Recommended for players who have decided to stop gambling entirely.
Important: Self-exclusion on db555 applies only to this platform. If you are accessing gambling services elsewhere, we strongly recommend requesting self-exclusion from those platforms as well, and contacting a professional support organisation for comprehensive help.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
You can request self-exclusion through any of the following methods:
- Via your account dashboard: navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion and follow the on-screen steps;
- By emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and your registered username — our team will action this within 24 hours;
- Via our live chat support, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Identify yourself and state clearly that you wish to self-exclude.
5. Time-Out & Session Controls
A time-out is a shorter, temporary break from db555 — distinct from self-exclusion. It is designed for players who want to pause their activity for a defined period without permanently closing their account. Time-outs are useful during high-stress periods such as exams, Ramadan fasting months, or following a run of losses that has left you feeling frustrated.
Time-Out Duration Options
- 24 Hours: A cooling-off period after an intense session or an unexpected loss;
- 7 Days: A week-long break to re-establish perspective and review your spending;
- 30 Days: A calendar month away from the platform, useful for forming new habits.
Session Time Limits
Beyond the structured time-out, db555 offers in-session controls that operate in real time. You can set a maximum continuous play duration before each session starts. When the limit is reached, you will see a full-screen alert summarising your session activity. You must actively close the alert and choose to continue — this deliberate pause is designed to prevent passive, unnoticed over-play. Session time limits are available in increments from 30 minutes up to 8 hours.
Reality Check Intervals
Reality check alerts appear on screen at your chosen interval (30, 60, or 90 minutes) during any active gaming session on db555. Each alert displays:
- Time elapsed in the current session;
- Net win or loss in BDT (৳) for the session;
- A prompt asking whether you wish to continue or end the session.
Reality checks cannot be skipped — they must be acknowledged before play resumes. This feature is enabled by default for all new db555 accounts and can be customised (but not fully disabled) in your account settings.
6. Player Protection Measures
Beyond the tools that players control themselves, db555 operates a range of platform-level protections that run automatically in the background to safeguard players across Bangladesh.
Automated Risk Monitoring
db555 uses automated monitoring systems that flag account activity patterns associated with problem gambling — such as sudden large increases in deposit frequency, rapid reversal of withdrawal requests, or extended uninterrupted play sessions at unusual hours (relative to Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6). When such patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team may contact the player by email to conduct a welfare check or to remind them of the tools available.
No Credit Facilities
db555 does not offer credit to players under any circumstances. All gameplay is funded from a player's own deposited balance. We do not accept deposits from third-party payment sources — all deposits must come from a payment method registered in the account holder's own name (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or a verified bank account).
Balanced Marketing Practices
db555 bonus offers and promotional communications are designed to add value to the entertainment experience, not to encourage players to spend beyond their means. We do not send bonus offers or promotional messages to players who have an active loss limit, an active time-out, or an account flagged by our risk monitoring system as showing vulnerable behaviour patterns.
Staff Training
All db555 customer support staff are trained in responsible gaming best practices. They are instructed to recognise indicators of distress in player communications and to respond with empathy, signpost to available tools, and escalate to the responsible gaming team where appropriate. Support agents will not attempt to dissuade a player who requests self-exclusion or account closure.
Your Wellbeing Comes First: If at any point a member of our support team believes a player may be experiencing gambling-related harm, they are authorised to proactively suggest self-exclusion or a time-out, and to share information about external support organisations — even if the player has not asked for this information.
7. Support & Help Resources
You do not have to deal with gambling concerns alone. Free, confidential support is available in Bangladesh.
National Mental Health Helpline
Free, confidential mental health support available in Bangladesh. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If gambling is causing you stress, anxiety, or relationship problems, this helpline can connect you with trained counsellors.
db555 Responsible Gaming Team
For gambling-specific concerns related to your db555 account, you can contact our dedicated responsible gaming team directly. We aim to respond to all welfare-related messages within 4 hours during Bangladesh Standard Time business hours (09:00–22:00 BST, UTC+6).
Email: [email protected]
Use the subject line "Responsible Gaming Help" to prioritise your message.
Talking to Someone You Trust
Sometimes the most important step is simply telling a friend, family member, or someone you trust in your community — whether in Dhaka, Sylhet, Chittagong, or elsewhere — that gambling has become difficult. Sharing the problem is often the first step toward resolving it. db555 encourages open conversations about gambling habits within families and social networks.
Self-Assessment
If you are unsure whether your gambling habits have become problematic, honest self-reflection using the warning signs listed in Section 2 of this page is a good starting point. You can also speak to your GP or a mental health professional, who can help you assess whether your gambling behaviour warrants clinical support.
8. Protecting Minors
Keeping children and young people away from online gambling is a shared responsibility between db555 and the adults in a household. If you share a device with minors — whether in Dhaka, Chittagong, or any other city — we strongly recommend taking the following steps to prevent accidental or deliberate access to db555.
Practical Steps for Parents and Guardians
- Never share your db555 login credentials with anyone, including older teenagers in your household;
- Log out of db555 after every session — do not rely on a browser "remember me" function on shared devices;
- Use device parental controls on shared smartphones and tablets to restrict access to gambling websites;
- Enable screen-time limits on shared devices using the parental control features available on Android and iOS;
- Discuss responsible gambling openly with young people in your home — explaining that gambling carries real financial risk is more effective than simply blocking access.
Reporting Underage Access
If you believe a minor has accessed or is attempting to access db555, please report this immediately to [email protected]. Include as much detail as possible. db555 takes all such reports seriously and will investigate promptly. Accounts confirmed to be held by or accessed by a person under 18 will be closed immediately.
18+ Only — No Exceptions: db555 maintains a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. Age verification is conducted on all accounts, and any account found to belong to a player under 18 will be permanently closed regardless of account balance or activity history.
