An Important Word on Responsible Betting

Betting is entertainment — not a guaranteed source of income. Every bet carries the risk of a loss. Never bet money that your household can't afford to lose. Chasing losses with bigger bets only makes things worse. Set your limits in advance and stick to them — that's what responsible betting is all about.

Responsible Betting Tools

Use these free tools on 398 BDT to stay in control of your betting

⏱️
Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for how long you'll bet in one session. Once the time is up, the system will remind you and log you out if needed.

🔕
Self-Exclusion

Voluntarily pause your account for a set period — anywhere from 1 week to 6 months. During this time, logging in will not be possible. For more serious cases, a permanent closure can also be requested.

📉
Bet Limit

Set a maximum stake per bet. This helps you avoid the risk of placing an impulsively large bet in a high-emotion moment.

1What Responsible Betting Means

Responsible betting doesn't mean you have to stop betting. It means keeping betting where it belongs — as something enjoyable, not a burden. Think of it like going to the cinema: if the ticket price feels too high, you don't go. Betting is exactly the same kind of choice.

The core principles of responsible gambling at 398 BDT are:

  • Think of betting as entertainment, not a source of income.
  • Decide in advance how much you are willing to bet and stick to that decision.
  • Never chase losses with bigger bets.
  • Only bet when you can keep a level head, even after a win.
  • Avoid placing bets while under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.
  • Take regular breaks — betting for hours on end every day is not a healthy habit.
A Rule Worth Remembering

Before placing a bet, ask yourself: "Would losing this money cause a problem in my life?" If the answer is yes, don't bet.

2Recognize the Warning Signs of Problem Betting

Problem betting does not happen overnight — it develops gradually. If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it is time to pay attention:

  • You are repeatedly betting beyond your own limit, and you know it isn't right.
  • You are placing increasingly larger bets to try to recover losses.
  • You are using household money for betting.
  • You are lying to family or friends about your betting.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to place a bet.
  • Betting is affecting your work, studies, or family responsibilities.
  • You have tried to stop betting but haven't been able to.

If two or more of these signs apply to you, consider the support options listed below. There's no shame in it — this is a health matter, and seeking help is just as sensible as it is for any other health issue.

3How to Set a Deposit Limit

Setting a deposit limit on 398 BDT is quick and easy. There's no fee, no reason required, and you can do it at any time.

1
Log In to Your Account

Log in to 398 BDT and click your profile icon in the top right corner.

2
Go to Settings

Click on the "Responsible Gaming" option.

3
Set Your Limits

Enter your daily, weekly, or monthly limit and click the "Set" button.

Reducing and Increasing Limits

Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increasing a limit comes with a 24-hour cooling-off period, so decisions aren't made on impulse.

If you have set limits but still feel you are losing control, use the Self-Exclusion feature.

4Self-Exclusion – Take a Break on Your Own Terms

Self-exclusion means deciding for yourself that you need a break right now. It's not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of self-awareness.

  • Your account can be paused for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months.
  • During a break, logging in will not be possible and no promotional messages will be sent.
  • Permanent self-exclusion can be requested by emailing support@398bdt.com.
  • Once a break ends, your account does not reactivate automatically — you will need to contact support to resume.
  • Any balance in your account during a break is kept safe and can be withdrawn.

"Taking a self-exclusion break doesn't mean quitting betting. Sometimes stepping back to clear your head is exactly what a smart bettor does."

5Keep Your Family Safe

398 BDT cares about the wellbeing of your whole family, not just the individual. If a family member is struggling with betting, you can step in and help.

  • A request to restrict or close a family member's account can be made with their consent.
  • Keep parental controls enabled on your device to prevent minors from creating an account.
  • Keep your browser history clear of betting pages so children do not become curious about these sites.
  • If you have concerns about a family member's betting, contact 398 BDT support directly.

If as a parent you suspect your child has created an account on 398 BDT, please contact support@398bdt.com immediately. The matter will be handled confidentially and resolved as quickly as possible.

How the Tools Work

Detailed breakdown of each responsible gaming tool

💰
Deposit Limit

Set a daily cap of ৳X and a weekly cap of ৳Y — this way you know exactly how much you'll spend in a month before it happens. Keep a budget for entertainment and stick to it.

⏱️
Session Time Reminder

Set a limit of 30 minutes, 1 hour, or any duration you prefer. When the time is up, you'll get a pop-up notification — "You've been betting for an hour, take a break." That small reminder can make a big difference.

🔕
Self-Exclusion

Once set, login is completely blocked for the specified duration. You simply cannot get in, even if you want to — this "forced break" often gives you the chance to clear your head.

📊
Reality Check

At regular hourly or set intervals, the system will automatically show you how long you have been betting and the total amount wagered in that session.

How 398 BDT Thinks About Responsible Gambling

In the betting industry, "responsible gaming" is often just a line in the website footer — one that nobody really reads. 398 BDT wants to change that. We believe responsible betting is a culture, not just a page.

Betting is nothing new in Bangladesh. Friendly wagers on cricket matches have been around for generations. But online betting is far more accessible and available around the clock, which also makes it easier for problems to develop. There was a time when placing a bet meant leaving the house. Now it takes a single tap on your phone. That convenience brings benefits, but it also brings risk.

Experience at 398 BDT shows that the majority of members bet responsibly. They set a budget, place bets a few times a month, and stay in good spirits whatever the outcome. That is the ideal betting experience.

Betting Addiction — The Honest Truth

Betting addiction is a recognised mental health condition — not a character flaw. The brain's reward system releases dopamine in moments of winning, and that feeling drives the urge to keep betting. This mechanism exists in everyone; some people are simply more sensitive to it.

Recovery from betting addiction is possible through treatment and counselling. Mental health services in Bangladesh are more accessible than ever before. Seeking help is not admitting defeat — it is the first step to taking your life back.

At 398 BDT, we want every member's life to be just as good — or even better — after using our platform. That's why our responsible gaming tools exist, and why this page is kept accessible to everyone.

If you or someone you know is struggling with betting, reach out to 398 BDT support today. No judgement, no hassle — just help.

FAQ

Enabling two-step verification on 398 BDT is straightforward. After logging in, click the profile icon in the top right corner and go to "Security Settings". There you will find the option to enable "Two-Step Verification". Once activated, every time you log in, a one-time OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number. Enter your password as usual, then enter the OTP to access your account. This means that even if someone obtains your password, they cannot log in without the OTP. Remember — 398 BDT will never call or message you to ask for your OTP, so never share it with anyone.

Deposits made via bKash or Nagad are usually credited to your 398 BDT account within 1 to 5 minutes. Occasionally, due to payment gateway or mobile banking server load, it can take up to 15–30 minutes. If more than 30 minutes have passed, first check your bKash or Nagad app's transaction history to confirm whether the amount was deducted. If the money was deducted but has not appeared in your account, note the Transaction ID (TrxID) for that transaction and email it to support@398bdt.com or report it via live chat. Most issues are resolved within an hour.
