Responsible Gaming at 1burl — Play Safely
We believe gambling should always be fun, controlled, and within your means. 1burl provides tools and guidance to help every Bangladesh player stay in charge of their gaming experience.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At 1burl, responsible gaming is not just a policy — it is a core part of how we operate. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for all players across Bangladesh, whether you are in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, or anywhere else in the country. We believe that gambling, when approached with clear limits and a healthy mindset, is a legitimate form of entertainment. Our job is to give you the tools to keep it that way.
We take seriously our responsibility to prevent problem gambling and to support any player who believes their gambling has become harmful. Our responsible gaming framework covers self-exclusion, deposit limits, session time controls, cooling-off periods, and access to independent support organisations. All of these tools are available free of charge to every registered 1burl player.
Responsible Gaming Tools Available to You
Block access to your 1burl account for a chosen period — from 30 days to permanent closure.

Our support team is always available to help with responsible gaming concerns, limits, or exclusion requests.
How Each Tool Works
All responsible gaming tools are activated by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Once set, protective limits take effect immediately and cannot be reversed during the active restriction period. This ensures that your commitment to safer play is genuinely protected.
-
Self-Exclusion
You can request self-exclusion for periods of 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During the exclusion period your account will be suspended, you will not receive any marketing communications, and any pending bonus offers will be cancelled. To reactivate after a time-limited exclusion, you must contact support and complete a cooling-off review.
-
Deposit Limits
You may set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month. Once a limit is set, it applies immediately and cannot be increased for a minimum of 7 days, giving you a genuine cooling-off period before raising your cap. Decreasing a limit takes effect straight away. Deposit limits apply across all payment methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay.
-
Session Time Limits
You can set alerts to remind you when you have been playing for a specific duration — for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. When you reach your set time, a notification will appear prompting you to review whether you want to continue. These alerts are designed as gentle nudges, not hard locks, unless you choose to combine them with a session limit.
-
Cooling-Off / Time-Out
A time-out is a shorter break from gambling — typically 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During a time-out your account remains active but you cannot place any bets or make deposits. This tool is useful if you feel you need a short pause but do not yet want a full self-exclusion. Time-outs are applied immediately upon request.
-
Activity History Review
Your full betting history, deposit and withdrawal records, and bonus activity are accessible from your account at any time. Reviewing your activity regularly helps you stay aware of your total spending and identify any patterns that concern you. If you need a formal statement of your activity for any reason, contact [email protected] and we will provide one within 5 working days.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually and affect anyone. Being aware of the early warning signs is important for both players and their loved ones. If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help or use one of the tools available on 1burl.
- Spend more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose.
- Borrow money or sell possessions in order to fund gambling activity.
- Feel restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gambling.
- Chase losses by placing further bets in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.
- Lie to friends or family about the amount of time or money you spend on gambling.
- Neglect work, studies, family responsibilities, or important personal relationships because of gambling.
If any of these signs feel familiar, please reach out to our support team at [email protected] immediately. Our team is trained to handle these conversations with care and confidentiality. You can also use the self-exclusion or time-out tools without providing any explanation — your wellbeing comes first.
Age Restriction — 21+ Only
1burl strictly enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all players. This is a firm requirement that applies to every account on the platform, regardless of location within Bangladesh. During the registration and KYC verification process, we verify the age and identity of every player using government-issued identification documents. Any account found to belong to a player under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended and all funds will be returned to the registered payment method, minus any bonus amounts.
If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that someone under 21 in your household may be accessing the 1burl platform, we strongly recommend using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Please also contact our support team at [email protected] so we can take immediate action to restrict the relevant account. We take underage gambling extremely seriously.
Keeping Gambling Fun — Practical Tips
The vast majority of 1burl players in Bangladesh enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and slots as a form of recreational entertainment without any problems. Here are some simple principles that help keep gambling enjoyable and under control.
- Set a fixed entertainment budget for gambling — treat it like a cinema ticket or a restaurant meal. Once the budget is spent, your session is over.
- Never gamble when you are under emotional stress, feeling sad, angry, or fatigued. Decision-making is impaired in these states and losses are more likely to feel distressing.
- Treat every amount you deposit as spent entertainment money — never chase a loss expecting to win it back. The outcomes of all casino games and sports events are unpredictable.
- Take regular breaks during long sessions. Step away from the screen, drink water, and check in with family or friends. Gambling works best as one of many activities in a balanced daily routine.
