Responsible Gaming at fb1971 — Play Within Your Limits

fb1971 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for all players in Bangladesh. Gambling should always be entertainment — never a source of financial pressure or emotional distress.

21+ Only Self-Exclusion Available Deposit Limits 24/7 Support

Our Commitment to Safe Play

Age Restriction — 21+ Only: The fb1971 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. If you are under 21, you are not permitted to register or play on this platform under any circumstances.

At fb1971, we believe gambling is at its best when it stays fun. For the vast majority of our players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and beyond, placing a bet on a BPL match or spinning the reels on a favourite slot is a leisure activity — an entertaining way to spend an hour, not a livelihood strategy.

We recognise, however, that for a small number of people gambling can become a problem. Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of age, profession, or income level. It can develop gradually, often without the person noticing until serious financial or personal harm has already occurred. That is why fb1971 has built a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools directly into our platform — and why we want every player to know how to use them.

This page explains the tools available to you, how to recognise the early warning signs of problem gambling, and exactly how to get help — whether from the fb1971 support team or through self-help resources. If you ever feel that gambling is no longer enjoyable, please stop and contact us immediately. Our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all Bangladeshi public holidays including Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and Victory Day.

Need Help Right Now? If gambling is affecting your wellbeing or the wellbeing of your family, contact fb1971 support immediately at [email protected]. Our team can activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion on your account within minutes of your request.

Responsible Gaming Tools

fb1971 provides six practical tools to help you stay in control of your gambling activity at all times.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your chosen limit is reached, the platform will decline further deposits until the period resets. You can lower your deposit limit immediately; requests to raise it take 7 days to take effect, giving you time to reconsider.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing in a given period. When your net losses reach the limit you have set, your account will be temporarily restricted from placing further bets until the period resets. This tool is designed to prevent chasing losses — one of the most common patterns in problem gambling.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration after which you will be automatically logged out. You can also enable on-screen session time reminders that alert you when you have been playing for 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Regular breaks are one of the most effective ways to keep gambling under control.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gambling without closing your account permanently. You can request a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period your account is suspended — you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Your account balance is preserved and accessible after the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years. During a self-exclusion period your account is locked and cannot be reopened before the period expires — regardless of any requests to reverse the exclusion. This is our strongest protection tool and is activated immediately upon request.

Reality Check Notifications

Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that appear during gameplay to show you how long you have been playing and your net session result. These prompts are designed to interrupt extended play sessions and encourage conscious decision-making rather than habitual betting.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising the early signs is the first step toward getting back in control. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you.

You spend more money on gambling than you originally planned, and find it difficult to stop once you have started.
You chase losses — increasing your bet sizes or depositing more to try to win back money you have already lost.
Gambling is taking time away from work, family, studies, or other responsibilities you used to prioritise.
You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to gamble, or when you try to reduce how much you gamble.
You hide your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues because you feel ashamed or fear their reaction.
You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or used funds earmarked for essential expenses (rent, food, utility bills) to fund gambling.
You find that you need to bet increasingly large amounts — in BDT — to get the same level of excitement you used to feel with smaller bets.
You have previously tried and failed to cut down or stop gambling, despite genuinely wanting to.

Important: Recognising one or more of these signs does not mean you are a hopeless case — it means you are self-aware enough to take action before harm escalates. Contact fb1971 support at [email protected] to activate a protection tool today.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly to get a clearer picture of your relationship with gambling. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team.

In the past 30 days, have you…

Spent more on gambling than you could comfortably afford to lose?

Felt the urge to gamble as a way to escape stress, loneliness, or boredom?

Argued with someone close to you about money or time spent gambling?

Returned the next day to try to win back money you lost the day before?

Neglected meals, sleep, or work because you were gambling or thinking about gambling?

Made a deposit using money that was meant for something else — groceries, school fees, transport?

Three or more "yes" answers? This strongly suggests your gambling may have moved beyond healthy recreation. Please reach out to our support team immediately. You can also activate a self-exclusion yourself by contacting [email protected] — our team will act on your request the same day.

How to Activate Protection Tools

All responsible gaming tools are available free of charge to every registered fb1971 account holder. Here is how to request each one.

Email Support

Send a request to [email protected] stating your registered mobile number and the tool you want activated (deposit limit, session limit, cooling-off, or self-exclusion). Our team will confirm activation within 2 hours during business hours (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).

Live Chat Support

Access the fb1971 live chat through your account dashboard. A support agent can activate deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusions in real time during a live chat session — no waiting period required for these protective measures.

Account Settings Panel

Logged-in users can access the Responsible Gaming section in their account settings to set or adjust deposit limits, session time limits, and loss limits independently — without needing to contact support.

Immediate Effect Guarantee

All protective tool activations (lowering limits, cooling-off, self-exclusion) take effect immediately from the moment the request is confirmed. Requests to increase limits or shorten protection periods are subject to a mandatory 7-day review period to prevent impulsive reversals.

Protecting Minors

fb1971 operates a strict 21+ policy. Anyone found to be under 21 years of age will have their account closed immediately, all funds returned, and their data removed from our systems. We conduct age verification checks as a standard part of the account registration and withdrawal process.

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using device-level parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. Additionally, never share your fb1971 login credentials with anyone, and always log out of your account when your device is not in your direct possession.

Suspicion of underage gambling? If you believe a minor may have accessed a gambling account — whether on fb1971 or any other platform — contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act without delay.

Tips for Healthy Gambling

Following these simple principles will help ensure that gambling remains an enjoyable pastime rather than a burden.

Only Gamble What You Can Afford to Lose

Set a strict entertainment budget in BDT before you start. Treat this the same way you would budget for a cinema ticket or a meal out — once it is gone, the session is over. Never gamble with rent money, savings, or funds earmarked for essential expenses.

Accept That the House Always Has an Edge

All casino games and sports bets are designed with a statistical advantage for the house. Winning is possible and enjoyable when it happens, but it is never guaranteed. Long-term profit from gambling is not a realistic expectation — and trying to achieve it is a leading driver of problem gambling.

Never Chase Losses

Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets to recover money already lost — is one of the clearest indicators of problem gambling. If you find yourself increasing your stakes after a losing run, stop immediately, close the app, and step away from the screen.

Balance Gambling With Other Activities

Gambling should be one leisure activity among many. Make sure you are maintaining time for family, friends, physical activity, and professional or academic commitments. If gambling is the primary way you relax or seek excitement, that imbalance is worth addressing.
