🛡️ betssom's Responsible Gaming Tools

Tools we provide to keep your betting experience safe and enjoyable

💰
Deposit Limit
Set your own deposit limits — daily, weekly, or monthly. Limits can be lowered immediately, but increasing them requires a 24-hour waiting period. That intentional delay is there to protect you.
⏸️
Cooling-Off Period
Just took a big loss or feeling overwhelmed? Sometimes the best move is to step back. Lock your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. Once the period ends, access is restored automatically.
🚫
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break, choose self-exclusion — from a minimum of 6 months up to a permanent ban. During this period, you won't receive any promotional messages from betssom. Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be lifted before the specified period ends.
⏰
Reality Check Reminder
Lost track of how long you've been on the site? Enable Reality Check and you'll receive a periodic notification showing how long you've been betting and your total profit or loss. It's a small nudge to help you stay grounded.
📊
Betting History & Profit/Loss Summary
Your account dashboard lets you view your total bets placed, winnings, and losses at any time. Seeing the real numbers often makes it easier to make your own informed decisions.

♻️01. What Responsible Gaming Actually Means

Responsible gambling is about more than just betting less money — it's a mindset. It's about keeping betting in its proper place. Betting is entertainment, just like going to the cinema or eating out. If you spend 500 BDT a month on it and that fits within your budget, there's no problem. The problem starts when you're betting with money meant for rent or food, or when you find yourself lying to family after a loss.

At betssom, we believe protecting our users is a shared responsibility — not something you face alone. That's why we don't just write policies; we've built real tools you can use to stay in control.

Three simple principles for responsible betting that make a real difference: Only bet what you can afford to lose, never chase losses by placing more bets, and don't expect betting to be a source of income. Keep these three things in mind and betting stays a genuine source of enjoyment.

Betting is a sensitive subject in Bangladesh. Many people bet in secret, which gradually builds mental stress. betssom wants its members to enjoy the experience openly and within their limits. When a member tells us "help me stop" — that is the most important moment for us.

🔍02. Recognising the Signs of Betting Addiction

Betting addiction doesn't happen overnight — it creeps up gradually, often without you noticing. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself, it's time to take action:

⚠️
Urge to Chase Losses
Lost ৳500 today and placing bigger bets tomorrow to win it back — this cycle is one of the most common signs of addiction.
⚠️
Escalating Betting Amounts
If the same excitement that used to come from a ৳100 bet now takes ৳1,000 to feel – that growing "tolerance" is a warning sign.
⚠️
Hiding from Family or Friends
Feeling the need to lie or hide how much you're betting is itself a signal worth paying attention to.
⚠️
Impact on Eating, Sleep & Work
Staying up late for live matches, losing focus at work, or skipping meals — when betting starts affecting the rest of your life.
⚠️
Betting with Household Money
Using money set aside for rent, your children's education, or daily essentials on betting is a serious warning sign.
⚠️
Unable to Stop Betting
You've told yourself "this is the last time" more than once, only to come back the next day. That feeling of powerlessness is at the heart of addiction.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, please seek help. It's not a sign of weakness — reaching out takes real courage.

📋03. Check In with Yourself

Take a moment to honestly answer the questions below. No one is watching. The more times you answer "yes," the more seriously you should take this.

Read the Results: 1–2 checks means stay cautious. 3–4 means set a deposit limit. 5 or more means activate self-exclusion and seek help.

🔧04. How to Use the Protection Tools

Betssom's responsible gaming tools are available in your account settings. After logging in, click the profile icon and go to the "Responsible Gaming" section. You'll find all the options below:

01
Set a Deposit Limit
Set your own limit – up to ৳5,000 daily, ৳20,000 weekly, or ৳50,000 monthly. Reductions take effect immediately. Increases require a 24-hour waiting period.
02
Set Betting Limits
Set a maximum stake per bet to keep yourself in control. It's one of the most effective ways to avoid big losses — especially when emotions run high during live matches.
03
Enable Reality Check
At 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours — whichever interval you choose — the site or app will display a message: "You've been betting for X hours. Total profit/loss this session: ৳Y."
04
Start a Cooling-Off Period
Not in the right headspace, or just need a break? Lock your account for 24 hours to 30 days. It unlocks automatically when the time is up.
05
Self-Exclude
If you feel the situation is serious, consider self-exclusion for anywhere between 6 months and permanently. During this period, you will have no access to your account whatsoever, and no bonus emails will be sent to you.
06
Speak to Support Directly
Can't find the settings or feel uncomfortable doing it yourself? Reach out via live chat or at support@betssom.best – the team will take care of it for you right away.
👨‍👩‍👧05. Information for Family & Loved Ones

Sometimes a family member or friend notices a problem before the person affected does. If you feel someone close to you is struggling with betting, there are a few things to keep in mind.

  • Approach the conversation with empathy, not anger. Instead of saying "Why are you so foolish," try "I'm worried about you" – it goes a lot further.
  • Bring specific details to the conversation. Instead of saying "You're always betting," try "You stayed up until 3 a.m. three nights last week."
  • Do not give them money. Lending money to cover betting debts or giving "just this once" makes the problem worse, not better.
  • Point them toward professional help. Notify betssom support and help them connect with local mental health services.
  • Take care of yourself. Dealing with a loved one's addiction is emotionally draining. Make sure you're also taking care of your own mental wellbeing.

Betssom cannot impose limits or activate self-exclusion on an account at the request of a family member or friend – these actions are the account holder's exclusive right. However, please encourage the account holder to contact support directly.

Addiction typically begins with the thrill of winning, grows into chasing losses, and ends in frustration and financial hardship. The sooner you get out of the cycle, the better.

🧒06. Protection of Minors

Anyone under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited from joining betssom, and we enforce this rigorously. We use multiple layers of protection to prevent minors from accessing our betting platform.

  • Age verification at registration: Providing a date of birth is mandatory, and ID verification may be requested in cases where there is any doubt.
  • KYC Process: Withdrawals will be held until age verification is completed.
  • Immediate account closure for underage members: If an underage user has opened an account and this is identified, their balance is returned and the account is permanently closed.

Advice for parents and guardians: Install parental control software on any device used to access betting sites or apps at home. Never leave a device unattended while logged into your betssom account. Have an open conversation with your children about betting and financial risk.

If you suspect your child is using betssom, please immediately support@betssom.best. We'll act on it promptly.

📞07. Get Help – Don't Wait

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Recognizing a problem and taking steps to address it takes real courage. Reaching out to betssom means no judgment – just support.

  • betssom Live Chat: Chat with us directly on the site or app – 24/7 support available in Bangla.
  • Email: support@betssom.best – type "Responsible Gaming Help" in the subject line.
  • Self-exclusion request: Just let support know and they'll activate self-exclusion on your behalf right away.

Betting addiction is a recognized mental health condition. Seeking professional mental health support is the best course of action. In Bangladesh, specialist services are available through the National Mental Health Helpline and designated hospitals.

betssom believes the best bettors are those who know their limits and stick to them. Betting is only truly enjoyable when it stays that way.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions on Betting Rules & Payments

For cancelled or abandoned matches, betssom follows sport-specific rules. In cricket — if a result is determined via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, that result is final and bets are settled accordingly. If the match is abandoned before the required number of overs and DLS does not apply, stakes are fully refunded. In football — if less than 50% of the scheduled match time is completed, bets are generally voided. For a 90-minute match, this means any abandonment before 45 minutes results in a refund. In live betting, if a bet was already dependent on events that had taken place before the match was stopped, the bet may still stand. Settlement results are typically published within 48–72 hours of the match. If in doubt, contact betssom support directly — provide the sport and match name for a quick resolution.

The minimum deposit at betssom is ৳200, applicable across bKash, Nagad, and Rocket. To qualify for the 100% first deposit bonus, a minimum of ৳500 is required — deposit ৳500 and receive ৳500 in bonus, giving you a total balance of ৳1,000. That said, you can start playing with as little as ৳200. Deposits typically reflect in your balance within a few minutes. If there's a delay due to server issues, wait up to 15 minutes — if it still hasn't appeared, contact support with a screenshot of your payment and it will be resolved promptly. Note that deposits must always be made from a mobile banking account registered in your own name; using someone else's number may cause verification issues.
