milbat Responsible Gaming
Gambling at milbat should always be an enjoyable, controlled activity — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page explains the protective tools available to you, how to recognise the signs of problem gambling, and how to reach our dedicated support team any time of day or night.
1. Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At milbat, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a foundational principle that shapes every aspect of how we operate our platform for players across Bangladesh. We believe that gambling, when approached with awareness and clear boundaries, is a legitimate form of entertainment. However, we also recognise that for some individuals, gambling can become problematic, and we take our responsibility to those players seriously.
milbat is committed to providing a safe, transparent, and fair gaming environment. We invest continuously in player protection tools, support infrastructure, and staff training so that every person who chooses to play on milbat can do so with confidence. Our responsible gaming framework covers age verification, identity checks, deposit and loss limits, time-out periods, self-exclusion, and access to professional support services.
This page sets out in plain English exactly what milbat offers, how to use each protective tool, and where to turn if you feel that gambling is no longer fun. Whether you are a regular player in Dhaka, a casual BPL cricket bettor in Chittagong, or a slots player in Sylhet, these protections are here for you — free of charge, available at any time, and enforced without judgment.
2. Age Restriction & Verification
milbat operates a strict 18+ policy. No person under the age of 18 years is permitted to register an account, make a deposit, or participate in any real-money game or sports betting market on the milbat platform. This policy applies uniformly to all players across Bangladesh, regardless of location, payment method, or game type.
2.1 How We Verify Age
At the point of registration, all users are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older by ticking an explicit age-confirmation checkbox. This confirmation is logged against your account record. In addition, milbat conducts Know Your Customer (KYC) checks at various points in a player's lifecycle — including at the time of the first withdrawal request and when certain deposit thresholds are reached. KYC verification requires you to submit a government-issued photo identification document such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport. Players who cannot confirm their age will have their accounts suspended and any balances refunded.
2.2 Protecting Minors
If you are a parent or guardian and you are concerned that a minor in your household may have accessed the milbat platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, including account closure and full balance refund if underage access is confirmed. We strongly recommend that parents and guardians use device-level parental control software to restrict access to online gambling sites on shared devices.
3. Deposit Limits
One of the most effective tools for maintaining control over your gambling is setting a deposit limit — a cap on the total amount of money you are able to add to your milbat account over a defined time period. milbat supports daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits in Bangladeshi Taka (৳), allowing you to tailor your budget to your own financial circumstances.
3.1 Setting a Deposit Limit
To set or amend a deposit limit, log into your milbat account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. From there, select "Deposit Limits" and enter your preferred limit amount in ৳ for the daily, weekly, or monthly period. Limits take effect immediately upon saving. You may set all three limit types simultaneously if you wish.
3.2 Increasing or Removing a Limit
milbat applies a mandatory cooling-off period before any increase to or removal of an existing deposit limit takes effect. This delay — typically 24 to 72 hours — is designed to prevent impulsive decisions made during a session. Requests to decrease a deposit limit take effect immediately, with no cooling-off period required.
3.3 Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, milbat offers loss limits that cap the total amount you can lose over a given period. If you reach your loss limit, you will be automatically prevented from placing further bets until the limit period resets. Loss limits are an especially useful tool for players who prefer to pre-define their acceptable risk level before starting a session rather than monitoring their balance during play.
4. Time-Out & Cooling-Off Periods
Sometimes a player needs a short break — not a permanent exit, but a structured pause to reset and reflect. milbat's time-out feature allows you to temporarily suspend your account for a fixed period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a time-out, you cannot log in, make deposits, or place bets. Any pending withdrawals already submitted before the time-out was activated will be processed as normal.
4.1 Activating a Time-Out
To activate a time-out, go to the Responsible Gaming section of your milbat account settings and select "Take a Break". Choose your preferred time-out duration from the available options (24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, or 6 weeks) and confirm your selection. The time-out takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed before the selected period expires — this is intentional, to ensure the break is genuine and not undone in the heat of the moment.
4.2 Session Reminders
milbat also offers optional session time reminders. You can configure your account to display an on-screen notification after a set period of continuous play — for example, after 60 minutes or 90 minutes in a single session. These reminders prompt you to take stock of your session length and decide consciously whether to continue, rather than losing track of time during an absorbing game or live cricket betting market.
4.3 Reality Checks
For players who want a more active form of session monitoring, milbat's reality check feature displays a summary of your net session result at regular intervals. Seeing your actual win/loss figure mid-session — rather than relying on a subjective feeling — helps you make more informed decisions about continuing or stepping away.
5. Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protection tool milbat offers. If you feel that gambling has become a problem — or if you simply wish to stop gambling entirely — you can request a self-exclusion that will permanently close your milbat account for a minimum period of six months, with options extending to one year, two years, three years, or indefinitely.
5.1 What Self-Exclusion Means
Once a self-exclusion is active, your milbat account is locked and you cannot access it, deposit funds, or place any bets for the duration of the exclusion. Any remaining account balance at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to you via your registered payment method — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or your linked bank account — within five (5) business days. milbat will also suppress all marketing communications to your registered email address and phone number for the duration of the exclusion and beyond.
5.2 How to Self-Exclude
You can initiate self-exclusion in two ways. The first is via your account settings: log in to your milbat account, go to the Responsible Gaming section, select "Self-Exclusion", choose your preferred duration, and confirm. The second is by contacting the milbat support team directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered name and account email address. Our support team is available 24/7 Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) and will process your request within two hours of receipt.
5.3 Ending a Self-Exclusion
A self-exclusion cannot be reversed before its minimum period expires. After the minimum period, you may request reactivation by contacting [email protected]. milbat applies a mandatory seven (7) day waiting period between your reactivation request and the actual reactivation of your account — a cooling-off period designed to ensure the decision is deliberate and considered. We strongly encourage any player considering ending a self-exclusion to speak with a support professional first. Contact information for free support services is provided in Section 8 of this page.
6. Recognising the Warning Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually and may not be immediately obvious, even to the person affected. milbat encourages all players to regularly check in with themselves and to be aware of the behavioural patterns that can indicate gambling is moving from entertainment to a problem. Below are the most common warning signs to watch for.
- Chasing losses: Continuing to gamble specifically to recover money you have already lost — increasing your bet sizes to try to "win it back" — is one of the clearest signs of problem gambling behaviour.
- Exceeding your budget: Consistently depositing more than you intended, borrowing money to fund gambling, or using money set aside for rent, food, or bills to place bets.
- Neglecting responsibilities: Allowing gambling activity to interfere with work, family commitments, study, or social obligations — including missing important events or deadlines because of time spent gambling.
- Gambling to cope with emotions: Using gambling as a way to escape feelings of stress, loneliness, anxiety, depression, or boredom, rather than as a purely recreational activity.
- Hiding gambling activity: Feeling the need to conceal how much time or money you are spending on gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.
- Inability to stop: Repeatedly attempting to cut down or stop gambling but finding yourself unable to do so, or feeling restless and irritable when you try to reduce your play.
- Preoccupation with gambling: Spending significant time thinking about past gambling sessions, planning future bets, or calculating how to obtain more money for gambling when you are not actively playing.
- Escalating stakes: Needing to bet progressively larger amounts of money in order to achieve the same level of excitement or engagement that smaller bets once provided.
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use the milbat responsible gaming tools described in this page and to reach out to our support team or a professional support service. Recognising the pattern early is the most important first step.
7. Self-Assessment Questionnaire
The following questions are adapted from established responsible gaming frameworks and are intended to help you reflect honestly on your relationship with gambling. Answer each question as truthfully as you can. There are no right or wrong answers — this is a personal tool for your own awareness, not a diagnostic test.
8. Support & Resources
milbat's internal support team is your first point of contact for activating any responsible gaming tool, requesting self-exclusion, or discussing concerns about your gambling. Our team is trained in responsible gaming and will respond to every message with sensitivity and without judgment. All responsible gaming communications are kept strictly confidential.
8.1 Contacting milbat Support
You can reach the milbat responsible gaming team at any time by emailing . Please use the subject line "Responsible Gaming" so your message is prioritised and routed to the appropriate team member. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). Responses to responsible gaming enquiries are typically provided within two hours during active support hours.
8.2 Professional Support Services
In addition to milbat's internal resources, we encourage players who are experiencing serious difficulties to reach out to professional organisations that specialise in gambling-related support. While dedicated gambling helplines in Bangladesh are still developing, several international and regional organisations offer free, confidential support to people affected by problem gambling — including those whose primary language is English. milbat recommends consulting a trusted mental health professional or community support network in your area if you feel your situation requires immediate attention.

8.3 Supporting Someone Else
If you are concerned about a family member or friend whose gambling behaviour seems problematic, milbat encourages you to approach the conversation with empathy and without blame. Express your concern in terms of specific behaviours you have observed rather than making character judgments. Encourage them to use milbat's self-exclusion or time-out tools, and offer to sit with them while they do so. If they are not ready to seek help, the organisations listed above also provide guidance specifically for family members and loved ones of people affected by problem gambling.
milbat's Player Protection Framework
Six core pillars underpin milbat's approach to responsible gaming — ensuring every player in Bangladesh has the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control.
Flexible Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps in ৳ directly from your account settings. Limits activate immediately; increases require a mandatory cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Time-Out & Session Reminders
Take a structured break from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Optional session reminders alert you after a set period of continuous play, keeping your sessions within healthy boundaries.
Permanent Self-Exclusion
Request immediate account closure for a minimum of six months, up to indefinitely. Your balance is returned promptly and all marketing communications cease the moment exclusion begins.
Strict Age & KYC Verification
Every milbat account is age-verified at registration and at key lifecycle moments. No player under 18 may hold a funded account or access real-money games — full stop.
Loss Limits & Reality Checks
Pre-set the maximum amount you are comfortable losing in a given period. Reality check pop-ups display your actual net session result at configurable intervals so you always know where you stand.
