Responsible Gaming
gibaje is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all players in Bangladesh. Your wellbeing comes first.
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not Harmful
A guide to keeping your gibaje experience positive and in control
At gibaje, we believe that gaming is a form of entertainment — not a way to earn income or solve financial problems. For the vast majority of our players across Bangladesh, from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Khulna, and Rajshahi, gaming on gibaje remains a fun, social pastime. However, we recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can become problematic.
This page outlines the tools, resources, and guidance available to every gibaje player. We take our responsibility seriously: we provide practical self-help tools, clear information on recognising problem gambling behaviour, and direct access to support when you need it. If gaming is no longer fun, we want to be part of the solution.

Recognising Problem Gambling
Signs that gaming may have stopped being entertainment and become a problem
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. The key difference between recreational gaming and problem gambling is the impact it has on your daily life. Below are common warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you know.
Tips for Safe Gaming
Simple habits that keep gaming on gibaje enjoyable and sustainable
- Set a budget before you play. Decide in advance the maximum amount in BDT you are willing to spend in a session. Treat this like a ticket price for entertainment — once it is spent, the session is over.
- Set a time limit. Decide how long you will play before you start and use the reality check tool or a simple phone alarm to keep yourself on track.
- Never gamble to solve financial problems. Gambling is not a reliable income source. The house edge exists on every game. If you are in financial difficulty, seek help from a financial advisor rather than increasing your play.
- Do not play under the influence. Avoid gambling when you are feeling stressed, emotionally upset, intoxicated, or sleep-deprived. Impaired judgment leads to poor decisions.
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every 30–60 minutes. During BPL season or a major cricket tournament like the T20 World Cup, it can be easy to extend sessions — set clear boundaries.
- Keep gaming in perspective. Gaming on gibaje is one leisure activity among many. Maintain your relationships, hobbies, work, and social life in Dhaka, Sylhet, Khulna, or wherever you are based.
- Accept that losses are part of the game. All gambling involves risk. Never chase a loss by increasing your bet size — this is one of the most common pathways from recreational play to problem gambling.
- Keep your login credentials private. Never share your gibaje username or password with anyone. This also prevents others from gambling in your name without your knowledge.
Protecting Young People
Steps parents and guardians in Bangladesh can take to prevent underage access
gibaje enforces a strict 21+ age policy. We carry out age verification checks during the KYC process. However, we also recognise that parents and guardians play a vital role in ensuring young people in Bangladesh do not access adult gaming platforms.
- Use device parental controls. Both Android and iOS devices have built-in parental control settings that allow you to block access to specific websites and apps. Enable these on any shared device.
- Protect your login credentials. Never leave your gibaje account logged in on a shared or family device. Always log out after each session and use a strong, unique password.
- Protect your bKash and Nagad accounts. Do not leave your mobile financial service accounts accessible to children or young adults, as these are the primary deposit methods on gibaje.
- Talk openly about gambling. Educate young people in your household about the risks of gambling — that it involves real money, real losses, and real consequences.
