Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps on your abe356 account to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. Limits take effect immediately and can only be reduced instantly — increases require a 7-day cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a complete break from gambling, abe356 offers instant self-exclusion for periods of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During exclusion your account is suspended and all marketing communications are stopped.

Time-Out & Reality Checks

Take a short break with time-out periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. Enable reality check reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered, prompting you to pause and reflect during a session.

Loss Limits

Cap the amount you can lose within a set period. Once your loss limit is reached for the day, week, or month, abe356 automatically prevents further wagering until the period resets, protecting your bankroll from runaway sessions.

Activity Statements

Request a full breakdown of your gambling activity — total deposits, withdrawals, wins, losses, and net position — for any period. Reviewing your real numbers is one of the most powerful habits for maintaining healthy play behaviour.

24/7 English Support

abe356 support agents are available around the clock via live chat and email. If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, reach out at any time — our trained team can help you activate protective tools or connect you with specialist support organisations.


1 Age Restriction Policy

abe356 operates an absolute minimum age policy of 18 years. No person under the age of 18 may register an account, make a deposit, place a bet, or access any real-money game on the abe356 platform. This policy applies to all players in Bangladesh and across all devices — desktop, mobile browser, and app.

When you register for an abe356 account you are required to confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. abe356 reserves the right to request documentary proof of age at any stage — including before permitting a withdrawal — in the form of a National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driver's licence. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be closed immediately and all funds will be returned to the payment method used for deposit, after any bonuses are voided.

Protecting Minors

abe356 strongly encourages parents and guardians to use parental control software if they share a device with minors. Do not share your abe356 account credentials with anyone, and always log out of your account when leaving a shared or family device. If you suspect a minor has accessed a gambling platform, contact abe356 support immediately so the account can be reviewed.

18+ Only — No Exceptions

abe356 does not permit gambling for persons under 18 years of age under any circumstances. Providing false date-of-birth information during registration is a serious breach of our Terms & Conditions and will result in permanent account closure and forfeiture of any pending balance derived from fraudulent activity.


2 Understanding the Risks

Gambling on the abe356 platform — whether on cricket markets, live casino games, Dragon Tiger, Rooster Rumble, or slot titles — is intended as a form of entertainment. Like all forms of gambling, it carries an inherent financial risk. Understanding these risks before you play is the foundation of responsible gaming.

The House Edge

Every game available on abe356 has a built-in statistical advantage for the operator, known as the house edge or Return-to-Player (RTP) rate. This means that over a sufficiently large number of bets, the platform will mathematically retain a percentage of all wagered amounts. No betting strategy, system, or pattern can eliminate the house edge. Past results on any game — regardless of how long a "streak" has lasted — have no bearing on future outcomes.

Gambling Is Not a Source of Income

Gambling should never be treated as a way to generate regular income, to repay debts, or to recover previous losses. Chasing losses — increasing bet sizes after a losing run in an attempt to win back money — is one of the most common and harmful gambling behaviours. If you find yourself gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, or betting more than planned to recover losses, please use the protection tools described in this page or contact our support team.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Before each gaming session, decide the maximum amount of money and time you are willing to spend. Treat your gambling budget as entertainment expenditure — money you are comfortable losing entirely. Once your session budget is spent or your time limit is reached, stop playing. Use abe356's deposit limit and loss limit tools to enforce these decisions automatically.

Play for Fun, Not for Profit

The most sustainable and enjoyable approach to gambling is to treat it as paid entertainment — similar to buying a cinema ticket or dining out. Decide what you can comfortably afford to spend, play within that amount, and enjoy the experience without pressure to win. abe356 provides real-time balance and session displays so you always know exactly where you stand.


3 Player Protection Tools

abe356 provides a comprehensive suite of free player protection tools available directly within your account settings. These tools are designed to empower you to manage your gambling activity proactively and to prevent casual entertainment from escalating into a problem. All tools are available at no charge and can be activated instantly via live chat or your account settings panel.

Daily Deposit Limit
Set the maximum amount you can deposit across all payment methods in a single calendar day. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the next day begins at midnight BST.
Weekly Deposit Limit
Cap total deposits over a rolling 7-day window. Useful if your daily limit feels too granular — a weekly budget gives you flexibility while maintaining an overall ceiling on spending.
Monthly Deposit Limit
Set a hard monthly ceiling on total deposits. Ideal for players who prefer to budget on a monthly basis rather than day-by-day, giving a clear picture of total gambling spend each month.
Loss Limit
Prevent losses from exceeding a set amount per day, week, or month. When the loss limit is hit, further gameplay is paused automatically until the period resets — removing the temptation to chase losses.
Session Time Limit
Cap the length of any single gaming session. Once the limit is reached, you are automatically logged out and must wait a defined cool-down period before logging back in.
Reality Check Reminder
Receive an on-screen notification at intervals you define (e.g., every 30 or 60 minutes) showing how long you have been playing, your net session result, and prompting you to decide whether to continue or stop.
Time-Out (Short Break)
Take a break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days with your account suspended. During a time-out, all marketing communications are paused. You can request a time-out instantly via live chat at any time of day.
Self-Exclusion
Suspend your account for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Self-exclusion is immediate and cannot be reversed during the chosen period. All bonuses and promotional communications are permanently cancelled.

To activate any of these tools, contact abe356 support via live chat on the platform (available 24/7 in English) or email [email protected] with subject line "Responsible Gaming Request". All requests are processed within one Bangladesh business hour.


4 Self-Exclusion Programme

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protective measure abe356 offers. When you self-exclude, your account is immediately suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, place bets, or access any game for the full duration of the exclusion period you have selected. abe356 will also immediately remove you from all promotional and marketing lists.

How to Self-Exclude

You can request self-exclusion through any of the following channels:

  • Live chat: Start a chat session on the abe356 platform and tell the support agent you wish to self-exclude. The agent will confirm your chosen exclusion period and activate it immediately while you are connected.
  • Email: Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered account name or mobile number and your chosen exclusion period. Email requests are processed within one Bangladesh business hour during support hours (8:00 AM – 10:00 PM BST, UTC+6).

What Happens During Self-Exclusion

  • Your account is locked and cannot be accessed by anyone, including yourself.
  • Pending withdrawals of verified funds will be processed to your registered payment method within the standard processing window.
  • Any active bonuses, free spins, or promotional credits are forfeited upon self-exclusion.
  • All marketing emails, SMS messages, and promotional notifications are permanently stopped for the duration.
  • abe356 support will not assist in reopening the account during the chosen exclusion period under any circumstances.

Returning After Self-Exclusion

After a fixed-period self-exclusion expires, your account does not automatically reactivate. You must contact abe356 support to request reactivation, and a mandatory 24-hour reflection period is applied before access is restored. abe356 will also invite you to review and set new responsible gaming limits before reactivating your full account. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed — a new account cannot be opened to circumvent a permanent exclusion, and any attempt to do so will result in immediate closure of the new account.

Protecting Yourself Beyond abe356

If you self-exclude from abe356 as part of a broader effort to address problem gambling, we strongly recommend also contacting other gambling platforms you use to self-exclude from those services as well. Restricting access on a single platform while continuing to gamble elsewhere will not effectively address a gambling problem. Our support team can provide guidance on how to approach this process.


5 Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious from the inside. Many people who experience gambling-related harm continue to believe they are in control long after patterns have become harmful. Being aware of the warning signs — in yourself or someone close to you — is the first step toward getting help.

The following behaviours are commonly associated with problem gambling. If you recognise several of these patterns in your own play, we encourage you to use abe356's protective tools and to seek further support from the resources listed in the next section.

  • Gambling with money reserved for rent, bills, food, or family expenses
  • Increasing bet sizes to achieve the same level of excitement
  • Repeatedly chasing losses with larger or more frequent bets
  • Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling
  • Borrowing money, taking loans, or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or other problems
  • Being unable to stop gambling even when you decide to
  • Spending large amounts of time planning or thinking about gambling
  • Previous unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
  • Experiencing guilt, shame, or regret after gambling sessions

You Are Not Alone

Problem gambling affects people from every background and income level. Recognising a pattern early and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. abe356 support is available 24 hours a day to listen without judgement and to help you activate the right protective tools for your situation. If gambling has significantly impacted your finances or relationships, speaking with a specialist counsellor is strongly recommended alongside any platform-level restrictions.


6 Self-Assessment Checklist

The following checklist is adapted from widely used problem gambling screening tools. It is not a clinical diagnosis but a personal reflection exercise. Read each question honestly and consider your answer. If you answer "Yes" to two or more questions, we recommend contacting abe356 support to discuss your account limits or speaking with a specialist support organisation.

Have you, in the past 12 months…

Spent more money or time gambling than you originally intended?
Gambled with money needed for household expenses, food, or bills?
Tried to win back money you lost by gambling more?
Hidden gambling activity or amounts from family or friends?
Felt anxious, irritable, or low when you were not gambling?
Borrowed money or sold items to fund gambling activity?
Found it difficult to stop gambling once you had started a session?
Neglected work, study, or family commitments due to gambling?

This checklist is for personal reflection only. The quiz buttons above are non-interactive indicators. For a formal assessment, please contact a qualified problem gambling counsellor or one of the support organisations listed in the next section.


7 Support & Resources

If you feel gambling is becoming a problem — or if someone close to you is struggling — there are trained professionals and organisations that can provide confidential, non-judgmental support. abe356 encourages all players who experience difficulty to reach out to these services. All resources listed are free to access.

General Guidance for Bangladesh Players

While dedicated problem gambling helplines in Bangladesh are still developing compared to those in some other countries, there are several pathways available for players who need support:

  • Speak to a trusted person: Sharing your concerns with a family member, friend, or religious leader can be an important first step toward addressing problem gambling. Keeping the issue private often makes it harder to resolve.
  • Seek medical or counselling support: Mental health professionals at hospitals in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other major cities can provide confidential counselling for behavioural addictions including gambling disorder.
  • Contact abe356 support directly: Our 24/7 English-language support team is available to activate any protective tool — deposit limits , loss limits, time-outs, or self-exclusion — immediately upon request. You do not need to explain your reasons; simply asking is enough.
  • International online resources: Organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous (www.gamblersanonymous.org) and GamCare (www.gamcare.org.uk) offer free self-help materials, online forums, and international support that are accessible to players in Bangladesh via the internet.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Gambling Habits

  • Always set a fixed budget before you start playing and never exceed it — treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
  • Take regular breaks during sessions. Stand up, have a drink of water, and check in with how you are feeling before continuing.
  • Never gamble when you are tired, stressed, emotionally upset, or under the influence of alcohol or substances.
  • Keep track of your total wins and losses over time using abe356's activity statement feature. Real numbers are more reliable than memory.
  • Balance gambling with other leisure activities — sport, socialising, hobbies, and time with family all contribute to a healthier overall lifestyle.
  • Do not gamble as a way to cope with difficult emotions or life circumstances. If you notice this pattern, speak to someone you trust.
  • Use abe356's reality check and session time limit tools to create natural pause points in every session.

Financial Guidance

If gambling has caused significant financial difficulty, speaking with a financial counsellor or debt advice service is strongly recommended alongside any steps to address gambling behaviour. In Bangladesh, several non-governmental organisations and bank-affiliated counselling services offer free financial planning assistance. abe356 support can provide further guidance on finding appropriate services in your city.
