Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At jay baji, responsible gaming is not simply a regulatory checkbox — it is a foundational value that shapes every aspect of how we operate. We believe that the millions of cricket fans, slots enthusiasts, and live casino players across Bangladesh who choose jay baji deserve a platform that genuinely cares about their wellbeing, not just their deposits.
Our approach to responsible gaming covers three broad areas: prevention (stopping gambling harm before it starts), intervention (providing tools that let players regain control), and support (connecting players who need help with appropriate resources). Every player on jay baji, whether they are placing their first bet on a BPL match or are a long-standing member, has access to all of these protections at no cost and without judgment.
We work continuously to improve our responsible gaming framework, drawing on industry best practice and feedback from our player community. If you have a suggestion about how jay baji can do more to promote safe play, please contact our support team at any time — we genuinely want to hear from you.
Entertainment First: Gambling on jay baji is intended as a leisure activity. Games of chance — including cricket betting, slots, Tower, and WM Live — carry inherent risk. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never treat gambling as a way to earn income or recover financial losses.
Age Restriction — 18+ Rule
jay baji strictly enforces an 18-years-and-above age requirement for all registered players. This is non-negotiable. No person under the age of 18 may open an account, make a deposit, place a bet, or claim a bonus on the jay baji platform. This rule applies across all of our product categories — sports betting (including cricket BPL, T20, IPL), slots, live casino games, Tower, WM Live, and all future products.
How We Verify Age
During the account registration process, players are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older. jay baji also conducts KYC (Know Your Customer) verification checks that require players to submit a government-issued identity document — such as a Bangladesh National ID Card, passport, or driving licence — confirming date of birth. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a player aged 18 or above will be suspended, and any funds deposited will be returned to the original payment source (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, bank account, or card).
Protecting Young People
If you share a device with younger family members in your household in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or anywhere else in Bangladesh, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls and password-protecting your jay baji account. Never share your login credentials with anyone, including family members. If you suspect that a minor has accessed a jay baji account, contact our support team immediately via live chat or at [email protected].
Reporting Underage Play: If you are aware of anyone under the age of 18 using the jay baji platform, please report it to our support team immediately. We take every such report seriously and will investigate and act without delay. Protecting minors from gambling harm is a shared responsibility.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. Awareness is the first step toward regaining control. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond safe recreational activity and is beginning to cause harm:
If you recognise several of these signs in your own behaviour, please read the self-assessment section below and consider using jay baji's responsible gaming tools described further down this page. Speaking to someone — whether that is our support team, a trusted friend, or a professional counsellor — is a sign of strength, not weakness.
You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life across Bangladesh and around the world. Acknowledging a problem early makes it significantly easier to address. jay baji's support team is available 24 hours a day, every day, to listen without judgment and connect you with the right help.
Self-Assessment Checklist
The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible gambling self-assessment frameworks. Answer each question honestly — your responses are for your own benefit and are not recorded or shared with anyone. If you answer "yes" to three or more of the questions below, we encourage you to reach out to our support team or consider activating one of the protective tools described in the next section.
Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, bills, or family needs?
Have you ever felt the need to increase the size of your bets in order to get the same level of excitement from gambling?
Have you tried to win back money you have lost, only to end up losing more?
Has gambling caused arguments, financial tension, or emotional distance between you and people close to you?
Have you missed work, school, or an important family or social event because of gambling?
Have you felt depressed, hopeless, or guilty specifically because of your gambling behaviour?
Have you kept the extent of your gambling — the time spent or the money lost — a secret from family members or friends?
Have you borrowed money or sold something of value to fund your gambling, or to pay debts caused by gambling?
This checklist is a self-help guide only and does not constitute a clinical assessment. If your responses concern you, please contact our support team or one of the external support organisations listed in the Support Resources section of this page.
Responsible Gaming Tools
jay baji provides a suite of practical tools that give players direct control over their gambling activity. These tools are available to every registered player at any time, free of charge, and take effect promptly upon activation. You do not need to justify your reason for using any of these tools — they exist for your benefit and we encourage their use proactively, before gambling becomes a problem, not only after.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. Limits can be decreased immediately; increases take 24 hours to take effect.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your time limit is reached, you will receive a notification and be prompted to take a break. This tool is especially useful for players who lose track of time during cricket matches or slot sessions.
Reality Checks
Receive periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the current session. Reality checks help maintain perspective and encourage informed decisions during active play.
Cool-Off / Time-Out
Take a short break from jay baji by activating a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During a time-out, your account remains intact but you cannot deposit, bet, or access any games until the period expires.
Loss Limits
Specify the maximum amount in BDT you are willing to lose within a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be restricted from placing further bets until the period resets, preventing runaway losses during a bad run.
Activity Statements
Access a detailed record of all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and game sessions over any time period. Reviewing your activity statement regularly is one of the most effective ways to maintain an honest picture of your gambling behaviour.
To activate any of these tools, log into your jay baji account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings, or contact our support team via live chat. Our agents are available around the clock — including during Eid, Durga Puja, and all Bangladeshi public holidays — and can activate any protective measure on your behalf immediately.
Self-Exclusion & Account Closure
If you feel that gambling has become a serious problem and you want a more definitive break from the jay baji platform, self-exclusion is available as a stronger protective measure. Unlike a time-out, self-exclusion is intended as a long-term commitment to stopping gambling activity entirely.
How Self-Exclusion Works on jay baji
When you self-exclude from jay baji, your account is suspended for your chosen period — a minimum of six months, up to a permanent exclusion. During a self-exclusion period:
- You cannot log into your jay baji account.
- All marketing communications (email, SMS, on-platform notifications) are suspended immediately.
- Any pending bonus offers are cancelled.
- Your existing account balance will be held securely and returned to you upon expiry of the exclusion period or upon request in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
- You will not be able to create a new account using the same identity details during the exclusion period.
Requesting Self-Exclusion
To request self-exclusion, contact the jay baji support team via live chat or email at [email protected] and state clearly that you wish to self-exclude, along with your preferred duration. Our team will action your request promptly — typically within one hour of your request being verified. Self-exclusion requests are treated with complete confidentiality and processed by trained responsible gaming staff.
Permanent Self-Exclusion: If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed indefinitely and cannot be reopened under any circumstances. This is the most protective option available and is recommended for players who feel they cannot safely return to gambling activity after a fixed-term break. Please think carefully before selecting this option — it is irreversible.
Support Resources & Helplines
jay baji recognises that platform-level tools are only part of the solution.

Tips for Staying in Control
The vast majority of players on jay baji enjoy cricket betting, slots, and live casino games as a safe and entertaining hobby. The following practical tips will help you keep it that way:
- Set a budget before you play — decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending in BDT and treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
- Never chase losses — accept that losing is a normal part of gambling. Chasing losses almost always leads to losing more.
- Take regular breaks — step away from the screen, especially during long cricket matches or extended slot sessions. Use jay baji's session time limit tool to automate this.
- Balance gambling with other activities — maintain hobbies, social connections, and physical activity alongside any gambling you do.
- Avoid gambling when upset or stressed — emotional states impair judgment. If you are angry, anxious, or under financial pressure, it is not the right time to play.
- Keep gambling separate from alcohol — avoid placing bets while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance that affects your decision-making.
- Be honest with yourself and others — if people close to you express concern about your gambling, listen with an open mind. Those closest to us often notice problems before we do.
- Use the tools available to you — deposit limits, reality checks, and session time limits exist for a reason. Using them proactively is a sign of a healthy, responsible approach to gambling.
- Review your activity statements regularly — checking your actual deposit and loss history each month gives you a clear, factual picture of your gambling behaviour.
Responsible Gambling Is Good Gambling: Players who set budgets, take breaks, and use protective tools consistently report higher enjoyment and lower stress from their gaming activity. Responsible gaming tools are not signs of weakness — they are the mark of an informed, empowered player.
