Gaming should be a source of entertainment, not stress. At Thakabet, you stay in control of your play — all the tools and guides you need are right here.
Our Commitment
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately — no room for overspending.
Need a short break? Set a cooling-off period of 1 to 30 days. During this time, you won't be able to log in — take your time and come back when you're ready.
If you want to close your account temporarily or permanently, it can be done with a single request. Thakabet will close the account without asking any questions.
Decide in advance how much time you want to spend online. You will be automatically logged out once that time is up.
How much you've spent, how much you've won — all the details are clearly visible in your account. Understanding your own patterns makes it easier to make informed decisions.
Thakabet does not allow anyone under the age of 18 to open an account. Age is verified during KYC checks, and parental control tips are provided to help keep families safe.
Responsible Gaming is an approach to gaming where it remains what it should be — an enjoyable activity, not a source of financial or emotional stress. Thakabet believes every player has the right to stay in control, and helping them do so is Thakabet's responsibility.
Interest in Sports Betting and online gaming has grown rapidly in Bangladesh. Most people play for entertainment — for the extra excitement of watching a cricket match. There's nothing wrong with that. But for a small number of people, gaming can gradually turn into a compulsion — where the urge to chase losses grows stronger, household money gets spent, and relationships with family begin to suffer.
Thakabet's responsible gaming program is built on the idea that prevention is better than cure. Know your limits, use the tools available to stay within them, and seek help when you need it — those three steps are all it takes to game responsibly.
Core Principle: Wins and losses are part of gaming. But never think of it as a source of income — treat it as entertainment, like buying a movie ticket. Only bet what you can afford to lose without it hurting.
The following tools can be activated from the "Responsible Gaming" section in your Thakabet account settings. They are entirely optional and can be set up without any questions.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. Increasing it requires a 72-hour waiting period — so decisions are never made in the heat of the moment.
Set a maximum loss amount beyond which no further bets can be placed within a given period. Once the limit is hit, new bets are automatically blocked.
Set a limit on how long you play per session — anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours. Once the limit is reached, you'll see a reminder, and the next step will be an automatic logout.
Temporarily suspend your account for 1 to 30 days. During this period, deposits and betting are not possible. The account reactivates automatically once the period ends.
You can suspend your account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. If any attempt is made to open a new account during an active exclusion period, that account will also be closed.
After a set period, a message will appear showing how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost. This keeps you aware and in control.
Activate these tools by logging into your account and going to "Settings → Responsible Gaming". For assistance, reach out via live chat.
It is not always easy to notice when gaming stops being fun. Watch for the signs below — recognizing them is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of awareness.
You feel the urge to bet more to recover lost money — the thought "just one more and I'll win it back" keeps coming to mind.
You are betting with money meant for household or essential expenses, or you have borrowed money from others to play.
You're hiding or lying to family or friends about how much you're playing.
You can't focus on work, studies, or family responsibilities — thoughts about betting keep coming back.
You've tried to stop playing but couldn't, or feel restless and anxious when you try to cut back.
When you're feeling down or lonely, you find yourself automatically turning to betting.
If you recognize one or more of these signs in yourself, don't wait — reach out for help. Thakabet's support team is here to help without judgment. Just send a message to set up a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
Answer the following questions honestly. This is a quick self-assessment — nothing is recorded, and it's completely private.
Over the past month, have you spent more on betting than you originally intended?
Have you ever felt like you should stop betting, but couldn't?
Has a family member or someone close to you ever expressed concern about your gaming?
Has gaming affected your work, relationships, or daily responsibilities?
Have you borrowed money or taken out a loan to place more bets and recover losses?
Have you ever found yourself betting late at night or sneaking a session during work hours?
If two or more of your answers are "yes," consider using self-exclusion or a cooling-off period, and talk to someone you trust. For support, email support@thakabet.best.
Thakabet strictly ensures that no one under the age of 18 can participate on the platform. Age is verified at registration and confirmed through national ID during KYC before any withdrawal.
Advice for Parents:
If you suspect a minor has accessed your account, contact support@thakabet.best immediately. Thakabet will act quickly and, where possible, transactions can be reversed.

To get help through Thakabet:
Thakabet can help you set account limits or close your account. However, professional help is essential for treating addiction. Reaching out to a trusted family member or a mental health professional is the most effective step you can take.
Detailed Discussion
A cricket match in Bangladesh is something else entirely. On days Bangladesh plays, everyone at the office is checking the score, tea stalls are streaming the game live, and families are gathered at home. Thakabet wants to be part of that excitement — but keeping a clear head in the middle of it all matters just as much.
Many people hear about responsible gaming for the first time and assume it's only for those who already have a problem. It's actually the opposite. Responsible gaming tools are for everyone — especially those who haven't run into trouble yet. Setting a budget, putting a deposit limit in place — these steps let you protect yourself before any problem has a chance to develop.
There is an important truth about win and loss rates in betting. Over the long run, every betting platform has a "house edge" on every game — meaning the average player loses a little over time. This is no secret; it is the business model of the entire industry. That is why treating betting as a source of income is a mistake. For those who see it as entertainment and budget accordingly, the experience can be genuinely enjoyable.
Let me explain Thakabet's cooling-off feature in a bit more detail. Say you take a big loss on a match. In that moment, the emotional urge to bet more and "win it back" is a very common psychological trap — it's known as chasing losses. If you've already set up a cooling-off period ahead of time, you simply won't be able to log in — a technical barrier steps in and protects you from acting on that impulse.
Many people hesitate about self-exclusion because it feels like a permanent goodbye. But exclusion comes in different durations — from 6 months to permanent. Once a period ends, you can choose to return, though a brief review takes place first. Through this process, Thakabet aims to ensure that anyone coming back is doing so with a clear, conscious decision.
Responsible gaming goes beyond just limits and tools — the mindset behind it matters just as much. Before you start playing, ask yourself: why am I playing today? For fun, for the thrill of the match? Or because I lost last night and want to win it back? If it's the second reason, it's better to sit this one out. Keep one simple rule in mind — play when you're in a good mood, not when you're angry or frustrated.
Talking openly with family is part of responsible gaming. When your family is aware, a natural sense of accountability follows. Thakabet wants every member's family to be proud of them — not worried.

We want every Thakabet member to finish their session and go to sleep with a smile. Win or lose — if you had fun and stayed within your limits, we've done our job.
