What Does Responsible Gaming Mean?

Responsible Gaming means keeping betting and gaming as a limited part of your entertainment — never letting it harm your financial security, mental health, or family relationships. Hiabee's responsible gaming policy is built on that principle.

Many people assume betting is inherently risky, but when done mindfully, it can be a perfectly legitimate and enjoyable form of entertainment. Problems arise when betting becomes an addiction — chasing losses with bigger bets, hiding it from family, or using money set aside for bills.

At Hiabee, promoting responsible gaming goes beyond writing policies — we provide hands-on tools and support to help you stay in control. From setting deposit limits to self-exclusion, every feature we offer is built with your safety in mind.

Remember: Only bet with money you can afford to lose — funds whose loss won't affect your daily life. Never think of betting as a source of income.

Online gaming and betting are growing fast in Bangladesh. Betting on cricket, football, and kabaddi has become a popular form of entertainment for many. But with that popularity comes a greater responsibility to play responsibly. Hiabee takes that responsibility seriously and is committed to upholding it.


Safety Measures

6 Key Responsible Gaming Features on Hiabee

Each of our protection features is designed to help you stay aware and in control.

Set a deposit limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits take effect immediately once set. Any request to increase a limit is subject to a 72-hour cooling period.

Session Time Limit

You decide how long each session lasts. When the time is up, the platform will automatically log you out so you can take a proper break.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel like you need a break, you can temporarily deactivate your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. During this period, logging in and placing bets will be completely disabled.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. Any attempt to open a new account during that period will also be blocked.

Betting Limit Controls

Set your own maximum stake per bet. This protects you from heavy losses in the heat of the moment and keeps your betting decisions considered.

Reality Check Alert

You'll receive automatic alerts at set intervals showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent. It helps you stay aware and in control.


Warning Signs

Recognizing the Signs of Problem Gaming

Addiction doesn't happen overnight — it builds gradually. If you notice even one of the signs below, treat it as a warning signal.

Responsible gaming means being honest about your own situation. Recognizing the signs is already the first step toward addressing the problem.

You are not alone. Thousands of people have overcome gaming addiction. Asking for help isn't a weakness — it takes courage.
Chasing losses to try to "win back" moneyChasing losses by placing bigger bets — this is the most dangerous behaviour and can lead to serious financial harm very quickly.
Hiding It from Family & FriendsHiding your betting from family or people close to you is a clear red flag.
Betting with Emergency FundsUsing money meant for rent, your child's education, or groceries to place bets is a serious warning sign.
Feeling restless or irritable when unable to playFeeling irritable, struggling to sleep, or finding it hard to focus at work when you're not betting.
Spending More Time & Money Than PlannedStarting with "just ৳500" and ending up playing for hours and spending thousands.
Social withdrawalSkipping family events, time with friends, or work responsibilities to bet.

Self-Control

Practical Tips for Staying in Control

Alongside using Hiabee's tools, following these habits will make responsible gaming even easier.

01
Set a budget first

Decide in advance how much you're willing to spend on entertainment each month. Don't put a single taka beyond that budget into betting. This is the most effective rule for responsible gaming.

02
Track your time

Set a timer on your phone or use Hiabee's session limit feature. Take a break after no more than 30–45 minutes of continuous play. Your eyes and your mind both need the rest.

03
Don't bet on emotion

When emotions are tied to a team's result, your judgment suffers. Avoid placing large bets when you're angry, frustrated, or overly excited. Make decisions with a clear head.

04
Learn to stop when you're ahead

Winning naturally makes you want to win more — but that's where addiction begins. Set a clear goal for each session and stop for the day once you've hit your win or loss limit.

05
Keep alternative entertainment

Betting shouldn't be your only source of entertainment. Keep up habits like reading, exercising, catching up with friends, or spending time with family. A well-rounded life is a healthy life.

06
Tell Someone You Trust

Let a family member know that you bet and what limits you've set for yourself. Accountability helps you stay within your boundaries.
