Responsible Gaming at takaboos
takaboos is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all players in Bangladesh. This guide outlines the tools, resources, and policies in place to help you stay in control of your gaming activity at all times.
Six Ways takaboos Keeps You Safe
Our responsible gaming framework gives every registered player in Bangladesh the tools to manage their activity, set boundaries, and seek help whenever they need it.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit ceilings on your takaboos account. Once your chosen limit is reached, the system automatically blocks further deposits until the period resets — keeping your spending firmly within budget.
Need a short break? Activate a time-out from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account is reactivated automatically when the period ends.
For players who need a longer break, takaboos offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. A self-excluded account cannot be reopened during the active exclusion window under any circumstances.
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a given period. When your net loss reaches that threshold, further wagering is prevented until the limit period resets, protecting you from chasing losses in the heat of the moment.
Enable in-session reality check notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These pop-up alerts appear at intervals you choose — from every 15 minutes to every 2 hours — so you always stay aware.
Our dedicated support team is available around the clock via live chat. If you are concerned about your gaming habits or need to activate any of the above tools, contact us at any time and we will assist you promptly and confidentially.
Important notice: Gambling is intended to be an enjoyable form of entertainment. It carries a risk of financial loss and can become harmful if not approached with care. takaboos strongly encourages all players to treat gambling as leisure — never as a source of income, a way to recover debts, or a coping mechanism for stress or emotional difficulty. 18+ only.
1. Age Restriction Policy
takaboos operates a strict 18+ age policy. Access to the platform, registration of an account, and participation in any game, bet, or casino activity is permitted only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. This policy applies to all players across Bangladesh, including those based in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh.
During the account registration process, all applicants are required to confirm that they meet the minimum age requirement. takaboos reserves the right to request identity verification documents — including a Bangladeshi National Identity Card (NID) or passport — at any point to confirm a player's age. Any account found to belong to an individual under 18 years of age will be closed immediately and all funds will be returned in accordance with applicable procedures.
We also encourage parents and guardians to take proactive steps to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Consider using parental control software on shared devices, keeping your takaboos login credentials private, and ensuring that any device used to access the platform is not accessible to individuals under 18.
Parental controls: A number of parental control tools are freely available that can block access to gambling websites on shared devices. Software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and similar applications can be configured to restrict access at the operating system or browser level. takaboos strongly recommends their use in households with children.
2. Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling develops gradually and can affect anyone, regardless of experience, income level, or background. The earlier it is recognised, the easier it is to address. takaboos encourages all players to regularly reflect on their gambling behaviour and to watch for the following warning signs:
- Spending more than you can afford: Wagering money that is earmarked for essential expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or family commitments.
- Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money already lost, often resulting in larger losses.
- Inability to stop: Finding it difficult to walk away from a gaming session even when you intended to stop, or repeatedly failing to stick to self-imposed limits.
- Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritising gambling over work, family, social activities, or personal wellbeing.
- Borrowing money to gamble: Taking out loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit facilities to fund gambling activity.
- Concealing your gambling: Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
- Gambling as emotional relief: Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression, or other emotional difficulties.
- Preoccupation with gambling: Spending a significant portion of your day thinking about past bets, planning future sessions, or calculating how to obtain more funds to gamble with.
If any of the above descriptions resonate with your own experience, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion or time-out tools available on your takaboos account, to speak with our support team, and to seek assistance from a professional counselling service.
3. Self-Assessment Checklist
The following questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your relationship with gambling. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool, but a starting point for self-awareness. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we encourage you to consider using one of our responsible gaming tools or to speak with a counsellor.
You are not alone. Many people experience gambling-related difficulties at some point in their lives. Recognising the signs early and taking action — whether that means setting a deposit limit, taking a time-out, or speaking with a counsellor — can make a significant difference. takaboos is here to support you.
4. Responsible Gaming Tools
takaboos provides all registered players with a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools, accessible directly from within the account settings area. These tools are free to use, take effect immediately or within a short processing window, and are designed to be easy to activate without requiring approval from the support team.
4.1 Deposit Limits
You may set a maximum deposit amount for any of the following periods: daily (resets at midnight BST), weekly (resets Monday midnight BST), or monthly (resets on the first of each calendar month). Deposit limits can be set in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) and take effect immediately upon confirmation. If you wish to increase a deposit limit, a cooling-off period of at least 7 days applies before the higher limit takes effect — this is a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions. Reductions to deposit limits, however, take effect instantly.
4.2 Loss Limits
A loss limit defines the maximum net loss you are prepared to sustain over a defined period. Once your net losses reach the threshold you have set, further bets are blocked until the period resets. As with deposit limits, increases require a 7-day cooling-off period, while decreases are applied immediately.
4.3 Session Time Limits
You may configure a maximum session duration, after which you will be automatically logged out. This prevents unintended extended play sessions. Before automatic logout, the platform will display a warning notification giving you a brief opportunity to complete any active game round.
4.4 Reality Check Notifications
When enabled, reality check pop-ups appear on screen at your chosen interval throughout a gaming session. Each notification displays your current session duration, total wagered amount during the session, and net win or loss. You can then choose to continue or end the session. Reality checks cannot be dismissed without making a conscious choice — they are designed to interrupt automatic gambling behaviour.
Resets at midnight BST. Immediate effect when reducing. 7-day cooling-off when increasing.
Resets Monday midnight BST. Protects against end-of-week impulse deposits.
Resets on the first of each month. Ideal for players who manage household budgets monthly.
Blocks further bets once net loss reaches your threshold. Immediate effect when reducing.
5. Self-Exclusion Programme
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available on takaboos. It is designed for players who feel that their gambling has become, or is at risk of becoming, harmful — and who wish to take a firm, binding step to prevent further access to the platform.
5.1 How to Self-Exclude
To activate self-exclusion, contact the takaboos support team directly via live chat and request activation. You will be asked to select one of the following exclusion periods:
- 6 months — recommended for players taking a meaningful break to reassess their habits
- 1 year — suitable for players who want a structured, extended period away from gambling
- 3 years — for players with more significant concerns about their relationship with gambling
- Permanent exclusion — an irreversible decision to close the account permanently
5.2 What Happens During Self-Exclusion
Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is suspended with immediate effect. You will be logged out automatically and will be unable to log back in for the duration of the exclusion period. Any pending withdrawals of existing account balances will be processed according to standard procedures. Marketing communications from takaboos will cease immediately upon activation of self-exclusion.
Self-exclusion cannot be reversed early. Once a self-exclusion period is active, it cannot be shortened or cancelled regardless of the reason provided. Requests to lift a self-exclusion before the end of the agreed period will not be honoured. This is an intentional safeguard — during difficult moments, the temptation to reverse a self-exclusion can be strong, and our policy exists to protect you from acting impulsively. At the end of your exclusion period, a cooling-off notification will be sent before the account is reactivated.
5.3 Attempting to Bypass Self-Exclusion
If you are currently self-excluded and attempt to register a new account on takaboos using different personal details, please be aware that takaboos employs identity matching procedures to detect and close accounts that circumvent active exclusions. Opening a second account while self-excluded is a violation of our Terms and Conditions and may result in permanent exclusion from the platform.
6. Support and Resources
If you are concerned about your own gambling or that of someone close to you, takaboos encourages you to seek help from a qualified professional. Our support team is trained to assist with activating responsible gaming tools and can signpost you to external resources, but we are not a substitute for professional counselling or addiction support services.
The following types of support are available to players in Bangladesh:
- National Mental Health Helpline: Kaan Pete Roi is a Bangladesh-based emotional support and mental health helpline available to anyone experiencing distress, anxiety, or compulsive behaviour concerns. Speaking with a trained counsellor is free and confidential.
- Medical professionals: Your local GP, hospital psychiatric department, or community mental health service can provide assessment and referral to addiction treatment programmes where appropriate.
- Gamblers Anonymous principles: The 12-step fellowship model used by Gamblers Anonymous groups worldwide has helped many people achieve and maintain recovery from problem gambling. While formal GA chapters in Bangladesh may be limited, online and regional meetings are accessible.
- takaboos Support: Contact our support team at any time via live chat. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out — if you want to discuss your gambling patterns, set limits, or activate a time-out, our team will assist you without judgement.
Need to Talk to Someone?
Our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If gambling is causing you stress, anxiety, or financial difficulty, please reach out. All conversations are treated with complete confidentiality.
7. Advice for Families and Friends
Problem gambling affects not just the individual, but also their family members, partners, and close friends. If you are concerned that someone you care about may be experiencing difficulties related to gambling, the following guidance may help:
- Open a conversation calmly: Express your concern without accusation. Use factual observations rather than emotional language — for example, "I've noticed you seem stressed after spending time on your phone" rather than "You're always gambling."
- Avoid enabling the behaviour: Do not lend money to someone who you believe may use it for gambling. Financial assistance, even with the best intentions, can perpetuate the cycle of problem gambling.
- Encourage professional help: Suggest speaking with a GP, counsellor, or calling a mental health support line. Offer to assist with finding resources rather than providing solutions yourself.
- Set your own boundaries: It is important to protect your own wellbeing. Seek support for yourself if the situation is causing you significant stress or financial harm — counsellors who work with family members of problem gamblers are available.
- Contact takaboos: If you have evidence that a registered account holder is a minor, or that a family member is gambling in a way that is harming themselves or others, please contact our support team. We take all such concerns seriously and will investigate promptly.
8. Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming is not an afterthought at takaboos — it is a foundational principle. We believe that a sustainable, enjoyable gaming platform for Bangladeshi players can only be built on a framework of transparency, player protection, and ethical operating standards. The tools and policies described in this guide represent our ongoing commitment to that principle.
We continuously review and update our responsible gaming programme to reflect best practices, player feedback, and developments in the field of gambling harm prevention. Where we identify opportunities to improve our player protection measures, we act on them.
All staff at takaboos who interact with players — including our support team — receive training in identifying the signs of problem gambling and in how to respond with appropriate sensitivity. We do not incentivise staff to discourage players from using responsible gaming tools or from self-excluding.
If you have feedback on our responsible gaming programme — including suggestions for improvement or concerns about a specific aspect of our approach — please contact us at support@takaboos. We read and act on every submission.
Responsible Gaming Policy — Last Reviewed: 1 January 2026. takaboos is committed to updating this policy regularly. All registered players are encouraged to re-read this page periodically. If you are struggling with your gambling behaviour, please reach out — help is available, and taking the first step is the most important one.
