1 What does Responsible Gaming mean?
Responsible Gaming means keeping betting and online gaming purely as a form of entertainment — not treating it as a source of income or a way to cope with stress. This has been a core philosophy at 40a3 from day one.
Online betting is a growing form of entertainment in Bangladesh. Many people use platforms like this to add some excitement to cricket matches or simply enjoy the thrill. But like any form of entertainment, it's important to know your limits.
40a3's responsible gaming policy is built on three core principles:
- Stay Within Your Limits: Only bet money you can afford to lose without it affecting your day-to-day life.
- Make Informed Decisions: Never bet when you're angry, upset, or stressed. Play with a clear head.
- Track Your Time: Betting for hours on end takes a toll on both your mental and financial wellbeing.
Our platform includes multiple automated safeguards for responsible gaming that you can activate yourself — no assistance needed. Everything is managed easily from your account settings.
Betting is entertainment — just like buying a lottery ticket or a cinema seat. Only bet what you can afford to spend on leisure. Never bet with borrowed money or by dipping into your savings.
2 Recognize the Signs of Problem Betting
Betting addiction rarely develops overnight. It gradually takes over other areas of your life. Watch out for the following signs:
If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself, that's a cause for concern. Contact the 40a3 support team right away or activate the self-exclusion feature.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a betting addiction, don't be ashamed to seek help. This is a health issue, not a weakness. With the right support, recovery is possible.
3 How to Set Your Own Limits
The most effective way to bet responsibly is to set your limits in advance. In your 40a3 account settings, you can configure the following limits:
How Limits Work
- Limits Reduce Takes effect immediately.
- Limits Increase A 7-day cooling-off period applies to any increase — so you can't raise your limit on impulse.
- To set limits: Account → Settings → Responsible Gaming → Set Limits.
- When you're approaching your limit, 40a3 will send you an automatic alert.
4 How to Set Up Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool for responsible gaming. If you feel you need a short break or a longer time away from betting, this is the feature to use.

5Confirm Once confirmed with your password, your account will be locked immediately. A confirmation email will be sent to you.
