Responsible Gaming at basa1
We care about your wellbeing. Play smart, stay in control, and enjoy gaming as entertainment — not an escape.
At basa1, we believe that gaming should always be a fun and enjoyable activity. For the vast majority of our players in Bangladesh — from Dhaka to Chittagong, Sylhet to Rajshahi — gaming remains exactly that: a source of entertainment and excitement. However, we also recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can become problematic. That is why responsible gaming sits at the very heart of how we operate.
We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent platform — one where players can set their own boundaries, access support at any time, and make informed decisions about how they engage with our games. This page outlines the tools available to you, the signs to watch for, and the steps you can take to keep your gaming experience positive and healthy.

Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is when a person's betting or gaming activity starts to cause harm — financial, emotional, or social. It can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. Awareness is the first and most important step. If you are playing on basa1 and something does not feel right, please read the signs below and reach out to our support team. There is no shame in asking for help, and we are here for you regardless of where you are in Bangladesh.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Chasing losses — continuing to play to try to win back money you have already lost.
- Gambling with money set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, or bills.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you try to stop or cut down playing.
- Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
- Using gaming as a way to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions.
⚠️ Important: If you recognise two or more of these signs in your own behaviour, please consider using our self-exclusion or time-out tools immediately. You can also contact our support team at [email protected] — all conversations are treated with complete confidentiality.
How to Use Our Self-Help Tools
All responsible gaming tools on basa1 are available directly through your account. You do not need to justify your reasons or wait for approval — your request takes effect immediately. Here is what each tool does and how to activate it.
Setting a Deposit Limit
Log in to your basa1 account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section under Account Settings. Choose a daily, weekly, or monthly limit in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Once set, the limit takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for 24 hours — this cooling-off window is designed to protect you from impulsive decisions. You can reduce a limit at any time without a waiting period.
Activating a Time-Out
A time-out is a short voluntary break from gaming. You can pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days via Account Settings. During a time-out, your account is inaccessible for gameplay and deposits. Withdrawals of any existing balance can still be processed upon request. A time-out ends automatically at the close of the chosen period unless you extend it.
Managing Loss Limits
Loss limits prevent your account from losing more than a defined amount in a set period. Once the limit is reached, no further bets can be placed until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to enjoy cricket betting or slots without the risk of spending beyond their comfort zone. Loss limits can be reduced at any time but increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Reality Check Reminders
Enabling reality check reminders means basa1 will send you a notification at a regular interval you choose — every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours — showing your total session time and net spend. These prompts are designed to interrupt automatic play patterns and give you a clear, objective view of your session before you decide to continue or stop.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I request a self-exclusion on basa1?
You can request a self-exclusion by contacting our support team at [email protected]. State the period you wish to be excluded — from 30 days up to a permanent ban. Your request will be processed promptly, and during the exclusion period you will not be able to access your account or receive any promotional communications from us.
Can I reverse a self-exclusion once it is active?
No. A self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully expired. This is a deliberate safeguard. If you chose a permanent exclusion, reinstatement requires a mandatory 7-day reflection period and a written request to our support team. The basa1 team will always encourage you to maintain your exclusion for the full period before any consideration of reinstatement.
What is the minimum age to play on basa1?
You must be 21 years of age or older to register and play on basa1. We take age verification seriously. If we suspect an account belongs to an underage player, the account will be suspended immediately pending a full identity review. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting young people in Bangladesh.
Is my account information kept confidential when I request help?
Absolutely. All responsible gaming requests — whether for self-exclusion, deposit limits, time-outs, or general welfare support — are handled with complete confidentiality by a dedicated member of our player welfare team. Your information will never be shared with third parties for commercial purposes, and your gaming welfare communications are stored separately from standard account data.
