Player Wellbeing & Safe Play
h71 Responsible Gaming
At h71 we believe gaming should always be enjoyable, never harmful. This page outlines the tools, limits, and support resources available to every player in Bangladesh so you can stay in control of your experience at all times.
Our Commitment: h71 is committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment for all players in Bangladesh. Responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox for us — it is a core part of how we operate. If at any point gaming stops being fun and starts feeling like a problem, please use the tools on this page or contact our support team immediately.
1. Age Restriction & 18+ Policy
h71 strictly prohibits access by anyone under the age of 18. All players must be at least 18 years old to register an account, deposit funds, or place any wager on the h71 Platform. This rule applies to all games, including cricket betting, live casino, slots, fishing games, and all other products offered at h71. Age verification is a mandatory part of the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, and accounts found to belong to minors will be closed immediately and any funds returned to the verified payment source.
When you register at h71, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and that gambling is legal in your jurisdiction. h71 reserves the right to request age-verification documents — such as a National ID card, passport, or other government-issued photo identification — at any stage of your account lifecycle. Accounts under review will have withdrawals suspended until age verification is completed satisfactorily.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly encourage you to log out of your h71 account after every session, keep your password private, and consider using your device's parental-control features to prevent accidental access. Protecting minors from exposure to online gambling content is a shared responsibility between h71 and our players.
Parental Advisory: If you suspect a minor in your household has accessed h71 or any other online gambling service, contact us at [email protected] immediately. We will review the account and take appropriate action, including full account closure and fund return, as quickly as possible.
2. Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling is meant to be an entertaining pastime — a way to enjoy cricket betting during a BPL match, try your luck on a slot game, or experience the thrill of a live casino table. For the vast majority of h71 players, that is exactly what it remains. However, for a small number of individuals, gambling can gradually shift from a leisure activity into something that negatively affects their finances, relationships, and mental wellbeing.
Recognising the early warning signs of problem gambling is the most important step toward getting it under control. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to your gaming behaviour:
You spend more money gambling than you originally planned or can comfortably afford to lose.
You gamble to recover losses ("chasing losses") rather than for entertainment.
You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling.
Gambling is taking up increasing amounts of your time, including late nights or time meant for work or family.
You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or neglected bills in order to fund gambling.
You hide your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues.
You feel a persistent need to bet larger amounts to experience the same level of excitement.
Gambling has caused conflict with people close to you or affected your performance at work or school.
If you recognise two or more of these signs in your own behaviour, we encourage you to take action now — before the situation becomes harder to manage. The tools and support described in the sections below are available to you free of charge, without judgment, and without any negative impact on your standing as a customer at h71.
3. Responsible Gaming Tools
h71 provides a suite of built-in responsible gaming tools that every registered player can access directly from their account settings. These tools are designed to give you meaningful control over how much you spend, how long you play, and whether you take a break from the Platform entirely. All tool changes take effect within 24 hours of request, and reductions to limits take effect immediately.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your h71 account in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Reductions apply instantly; increases take 7 days to activate, giving you a cooling-off period.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount in ৳ you are willing to lose over a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be prevented from placing further bets until the period resets.
Session Time Limits
Limit the total amount of time you spend in a single gaming session. When your limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and shown a summary of your session activity.
Reality Check Reminders
Set regular on-screen reminders that interrupt your session to show how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. Reminders can be set from every 15 minutes up to every 2 hours.
Time-Out / Cooling-Off
Take a short break from the Platform for 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During a time-out period your account remains open but you cannot log in, deposit, or wager.
Self-Exclusion
Request a long-term exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent. During exclusion, your account is fully closed to deposits and play, and marketing communications are stopped immediately.
How to Access Your Tools: Log in to your h71 account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. All tools listed above are available there. If you cannot find the settings or need assistance activating a limit or exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] or via 24/7 live chat — they can apply any tool on your behalf.
4. Self-Exclusion Programme
Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available to players who feel that gambling is causing them harm or who simply want to stop for an extended period. When you request a self-exclusion at h71, the following actions are taken immediately upon processing your request:
- Your account is suspended and you cannot log in for the duration of the exclusion period.
- All pending withdrawal requests are processed and paid out to your registered payment method.
- Any remaining account balance above the minimum withdrawal threshold is returned to you.
- All marketing emails and promotional SMS messages to your registered contact details are stopped.
- You are removed from all bonus and loyalty programme communications for the duration of the exclusion.
- Any active bonuses or free bets are forfeited in accordance with the h71 Terms & Conditions.
h71 offers the following self-exclusion periods. You may choose the option that best suits your situation:
Short-term exclusion — suitable if you need a meaningful break to reassess your gaming habits without a permanent commitment.
Medium-term exclusion — recommended for players who have identified a pattern of problematic behaviour and want substantial time away from the Platform.
Extended exclusion — for players seeking a longer recovery period. Reinstatement requires a 7-day cool-down review after the period ends.
Permanent exclusion — your account is permanently closed with no option to reopen. This is irreversible and is the recommended option if you believe online gambling poses a serious ongoing risk to your wellbeing.
To reinstate an account after a non-permanent exclusion period, you must contact h71 support directly and complete a 7-day mandatory cooling-off period. h71 will not reinstate an excluded account earlier than the agreed exclusion end date under any circumstances, including at the player's own request. This policy exists to protect you.
Important: If you have self-excluded from h71 and attempt to open a new account to circumvent your exclusion, h71 will close the new account, forfeit any deposits made, and maintain the original exclusion period. Circumventing a self-exclusion undermines your own recovery. If you are struggling, please reach out to our support team instead — we are here to help.
5. Deposit & Spending Limits
Setting deposit and spending limits is one of the most practical and effective ways to keep your gaming within a comfortable budget. h71 supports limits in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) across three time periods, and you can set independent limits for each. The table below outlines how our limit system works:
| Limit Type | Period Options | Reduction Takes Effect | Increase Takes Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | After 7 days |
| Loss Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | After 7 days |
| Wager Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | After 7 days |
| Session Time Limit | Per session (15 min – 8 hrs) | Next session | After 24 hours |
The deliberate 7-day delay on limit increases is a protective feature, not a technical limitation. It gives you time to reconsider whether raising a limit is genuinely in your best interest. During the 7-day waiting period you may cancel the increase request at any time with no questions asked.
h71 recommends setting a monthly deposit limit that reflects your genuine disposable income — the amount you can comfortably afford to spend on entertainment without affecting rent, food, utilities, savings, or family obligations. A good rule of thumb used by responsible gaming advocates worldwide is to treat gambling as an entertainment expense, similar to a cinema trip or dining out, with a fixed monthly budget rather than an open-ended one.
Players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and across Bangladesh can contact our support team to discuss what limit settings might be appropriate for their individual circumstances. All such conversations are handled in strict confidence.
6. Time-Out & Reality Checks
Sometimes you do not need a full self-exclusion — you simply need a short pause to clear your head. h71's time-out feature lets you step away from the Platform for a defined period without permanently closing your account. Available time-out durations are 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, and 1 month.
During a time-out period:
- You cannot log in to your h71 account.
- You cannot make any deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or any other payment method.
- You cannot place any sports bets, casino wagers, or participate in any games.
- Promotional emails are paused for the duration of the time-out.
- Any pending withdrawal that was already in progress before the time-out was activated will still be processed and paid out.
A time-out cannot be lifted early once activated. This is intentional — the purpose is to give you a genuine, uninterrupted break rather than a barrier you can immediately reverse under the influence of an urge to gamble.
Reality Check Reminders work differently — they do not restrict your access, but they interrupt your session at regular intervals to display a clear on-screen summary showing your current session duration, total amount wagered, and net result (win or loss) so far. Many players find that this simple awareness tool is enough to prompt a natural decision to stop and take a break. You can set reminders as frequently as every 15 minutes in your account settings.
Tip: Even if you feel your gambling is fully under control, enabling a 1-hour reality check reminder is a healthy habit. Seeing an objective summary of your session activity in plain numbers — rather than relying on memory — helps maintain perspective and prevents the kind of gradual session creep that can go unnoticed in the flow of play.
7. Tips for Safe Play
Responsible gaming begins with the right mindset before you even open the h71 Platform. The following practical guidelines are recommended for all players regardless of how much or how little they wager:
Set a budget before you start and treat it as the full amount you are prepared to spend on entertainment — not as a target to recover.
Never chase losses. If you have reached your session budget, stop. The next bet is no more likely to win because you are on a losing streak.
Gamble only with money you can afford to lose. Never use money set aside for rent, food, school fees, utilities, or savings.
Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every hour, get a drink of water, and ask yourself honestly whether you are still enjoying the experience.
Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol, substances, or extreme emotional stress. Impaired judgment leads to poor decisions and larger losses.
Balance gambling with other activities. If you find yourself cancelling plans or skipping family time to gamble, that is a sign the balance has shifted.
Keep track of time and money spent. Use h71's built-in session history and transaction log to review your activity objectively once a week.
Talk to someone you trust if gambling is causing stress. Sharing the concern with a family member or friend is often the first step toward positive change.
Gambling outcomes are determined by certified random number generators and are statistically independent — past results have no influence on future outcomes. There is no system, strategy, or pattern of bets that can reliably overcome the house edge over time. Playing for entertainment with a fixed budget gives you the best possible experience. Playing with the expectation of making money leads to disappointment and financial risk.

h71 also encourages players who are concerned about a family member's gambling to reach out. While we cannot disclose private account details to third parties, our support team can provide general guidance on how to approach the conversation and what options are available.

If gambling is causing you serious distress or you are in a mental health crisis: Please contact a trusted family member, a local healthcare professional, or a mental health support service in your area immediately. h71's support team can assist with account-level actions, but they are not a substitute for professional mental health care.
