Play Safely & Responsibly
at obaje
obaje is committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all players across Bangladesh. We believe gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. Our responsible gaming tools, self-assessment resources, and dedicated support team are here to help you stay in control at every step.
1. Our Commitment to Safe Play
At obaje, responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. Since launching our platform to serve players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and the rest of Bangladesh, we have invested in tools, policies, and staff training specifically designed to protect our players and promote healthy gaming habits.
We understand that for the vast majority of our players, gaming on obaje is a relaxing and entertaining pastime. Teen Patti sessions on a weekday evening, a cricket bet during a BPL match, or a few rounds on a favourite slot — these are enjoyable experiences that millions of adults engage in responsibly every day. Our role is to keep it that way.
However, we also acknowledge that gambling can become problematic for a minority of players, and that the consequences of problem gambling — financial difficulty, relationship strain, and mental health impact — can be serious. obaje takes that reality seriously. We maintain active monitoring systems, provide free self-exclusion and account limit tools, and ensure our support team is trained to assist any player who reaches out about gambling concerns.
This page explains every responsible gaming resource that obaje makes available to players, how to access each tool, and where to turn for independent support if you feel gambling is affecting your life. All services described on this page are available free of charge to any obaje account holder.
- Gaming is entertainment, not a financial strategy
- Player wellbeing takes priority over revenue
- Every tool on this page is free to use
- Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- No player is ever judged for seeking help
Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming at obaje
These six commitments form the foundation of how obaje protects every player on the platform — from first deposit to every session that follows.
Strict 18+ Age Verification
obaje enforces a strict minimum age of 18 years for all account registrations. Our KYC process verifies date of birth using government-issued ID before any withdrawal is processed. No exceptions are made.
Deposit Limit Controls
Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly through their account settings or by contacting support. Once set, a limit can only be reduced immediately — increases require a cooling-off period.
Time-Out & Cool-Off Periods
Need a short break? Players can activate a time-out of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is suspended and no deposits or bets can be placed.
Self-Exclusion Programme
For players who need a longer break, obaje offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is enforced immediately upon request and cannot be reversed within the chosen period.
Reality Check Reminders
Players can enable session-time alerts that display a reminder after a set period of continuous play — for example, every 30 minutes or every hour. These reminders show session duration and net result to date.
Proactive Player Monitoring
obaje's responsible gaming system analyses play patterns — including rapid bet increases, extended sessions, and repeated failed withdrawal requests — and proactively reaches out to players displaying concerning behaviour.
2. Age Restriction & Verification
obaje operates exclusively as an adults-only platform. You must be 18 years of age or older to register an account, make a deposit, or play any game on obaje.vip. This requirement applies to all players across Bangladesh, regardless of location within the country.
Why Age Verification Matters: Gambling is an activity designed for adults who can make informed decisions about risk, money management, and entertainment budgeting. Exposure to gambling at a young age has been linked to higher rates of problem gambling in later life. obaje enforces its age policy rigorously to protect young people from those risks.
How We Verify Age: During the account registration process, players are required to confirm they are 18 or older by checking a declaration. Before a first withdrawal is processed, obaje requires identity verification (KYC) using a government-issued document — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence — that confirms the player's date of birth. Accounts where the date of birth cannot be confirmed as 18+ will be suspended pending verification.
If You Suspect a Minor Has Registered: If you believe a person under the age of 18 has created an account on obaje — including a child, younger sibling, or other young person in your household — please contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. We will investigate and take action without delay.
Protecting Young People in Your Household: If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend using your device's parental control features to restrict access to obaje.vip. Password-protect your obaje account and never share your login credentials with anyone. Log out of your account after every session on shared devices.
- Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID)
- Bangladesh Passport
- Bangladesh Driving Licence
3. Responsible Gaming Tools
obaje provides a full suite of account management tools designed to help you keep gaming enjoyable and within your personal boundaries. All tools are free and can be activated immediately.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, per week, or per month. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Limit increases require a mandatory 72-hour review period before they become active.
Session Time Limits
Define a maximum session length — the platform will alert you when your set session time is reached. You can choose 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom duration that suits your schedule.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you can lose in a single day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is reached, your account is automatically suspended for the remainder of that period to prevent further losses.
Reality Check Alerts
Activate on-screen reminders that display during gameplay at regular intervals — every 30 minutes or every 60 minutes. Each alert shows your session duration and cumulative net result so far.
Time-Out
Take a short, structured break of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is immediately suspended. No deposits, bets, or bonus claims can be made during the time-out period.
Self-Exclusion
For longer-term breaks, self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Exclusions are enforced immediately and cannot be reversed within the chosen period under any circumstances.
Account Activity Review
Access a full history of your deposits, withdrawals, bets, wins, and losses at any time from your account dashboard. Reviewing your history regularly helps you stay informed about your spending patterns.
Account Closure
If you wish to permanently close your obaje account and have your data handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, contact [email protected] at any time. Closure requests are processed promptly.
4. Self-Exclusion Programme
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on obaje. It is designed for players who feel that their gambling has become difficult to control and who want a firm, enforced boundary that prevents them from accessing the platform for an extended period.
What Happens When You Self-Exclude: Upon submitting a self-exclusion request, your obaje account is immediately suspended. You will be logged out automatically and will not be able to log back in for the duration of your chosen exclusion period. Any pending withdrawals at the time of exclusion will be processed to your registered payment method. Marketing communications from obaje will cease immediately.
Self-Exclusion Periods Available:
- 6 Months — A structured short-to-medium term break suitable for players who want a defined cooling-off period.
- 1 Year — A full-year exclusion for players seeking a more substantial break from gambling.
- 3 Years — A long-term exclusion for players who require a significant period away from the platform.
- Permanent Exclusion — A lifetime ban from obaje. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed under any circumstances. This option is recommended for players who have identified gambling as a serious personal problem.
Reversal Policy: obaje takes self-exclusion requests extremely seriously. Exclusions are irreversible for the duration of the chosen period. If a player contacts us requesting early reinstatement of an excluded account, we will decline that request. This policy exists specifically to protect players who have taken the important step of self-excluding.
Re-Registration Prevention: obaje maintains records of self-excluded players and applies checks to prevent self-excluded individuals from creating new accounts. If you are self-excluded and attempt to re-register, your new account will be closed and any deposited funds returned.
How to Self-Exclude: Contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". State your preferred exclusion period. Our team will process your request immediately and confirm exclusion by return email. You do not need to provide a reason for self-excluding.
- 6 Months — Immediate, enforced
- 1 Year — Immediate, enforced
- 3 Years — Immediate, enforced
- Permanent — Irreversible lifetime ban
5. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling develops gradually, and many players do not recognise the signs until the impact on their finances, relationships, or mental health is already significant. Being able to identify early warning signs — in yourself or in someone you care about — is the first step toward getting help.
obaje's responsible gaming team monitors for behavioural indicators on the platform, but self-awareness is equally important. The warning signs below are widely recognised indicators that gambling may be becoming problematic:
Chasing Losses
Placing larger bets to try to win back money already lost — sometimes called "chasing" — is one of the clearest early signs of problem gambling.
Losing Track of Time
Regularly playing for much longer than intended, or losing track of how much time has passed during a session, is a sign that gambling may be taking over.
Gambling with Essential Money
Using money set aside for rent, food, bKash balance needed for bills, or other essential expenses to fund gambling is a serious warning sign.
Hiding Gambling Activity
Concealing deposits, winnings, or losses from family members or partners, or feeling the need to lie about time spent gambling, is a significant warning sign.
Mood Dependent on Outcomes
If your emotional state — happiness, irritability, anxiety — is closely tied to whether you win or lose a bet, this suggests gambling may be having an unhealthy psychological hold.
Neglecting Responsibilities
Skipping work, neglecting family responsibilities, or withdrawing from social activities in order to gamble — or because of stress related to gambling — is a clear warning signal.
Unable to Stop or Reduce
Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling entirely, or feeling restless and irritable when trying to reduce gambling, are recognised indicators of a developing dependency.
Borrowing to Gamble
Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit specifically to fund gambling deposits is a serious financial warning sign that requires immediate attention.
If you recognise three or more of these signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use one of obaje's responsible gaming tools — particularly the time-out or self-exclusion options — and to reach out to a professional support organisation. Details are provided in the Support & Resources section below.
6. Self-Assessment Questionnaire
The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible gaming self-assessment frameworks. Answer each question honestly — your responses are not submitted to obaje or stored anywhere. This tool is purely for your own reflection and awareness.
If you answer "Yes" to three or more of the questions below, we strongly recommend speaking with our support team or contacting an independent gambling support organisation.
If three or more of these questions apply to you, please take action today. Use obaje's time-out or self-exclusion tools, or reach out directly to our support team at [email protected]. You can also contact an independent support organisation — details are listed in the next section.
- 0–2 Yes answers: Low risk. Continue playing responsibly and reviewing your habits regularly.
- 3–5 Yes answers: Moderate risk. Consider activating deposit or session limits. Speak with our support team.
- 6+ Yes answers: High risk. We strongly recommend activating self-exclusion and contacting a professional support organisation today.
7. Support & Resources
If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem in your life, there are several sources of support available to you. obaje's own support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can help you activate account restrictions, process self-exclusion requests, and point you toward appropriate external resources.
In addition to obaje's internal support, we encourage players who are experiencing gambling-related difficulties to reach out to independent organisations that specialise in gambling harm support. The following resources offer confidential, non-judgemental assistance:
obaje Responsible Gaming Support: Contact our dedicated responsible gaming team directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Help". Our trained team members will respond promptly and can assist with account limits, time-outs, self-exclusion, account closure, and signposting to further support. All communications are treated with strict confidentiality.
Talking to Someone You Trust: Whether it is a parent, sibling, close friend, or trusted colleague, speaking openly about gambling difficulties with someone in your personal life can provide immediate relief and practical support. Problem gambling is most effectively addressed when it is brought out into the open rather than managed alone.
Mental Health Support in Bangladesh: If gambling-related stress, anxiety, or depression is affecting your mental health, please reach out to a qualified mental health professional. Kaan Pete Roi is a Bengali crisis helpline offering emotional support. The National Mental Health Institute (NIMH) at Dhaka Medical College also provides mental health services to Bangladeshi residents.
Financial Counselling: If gambling has created financial difficulties, speaking with a financial adviser or credit counsellor can help you create a structured plan to address debts and rebuild financial stability. Many banks in Bangladesh — including BRAC Bank, City Bank, and Dutch-Bangla Bank — offer personal financial advisory services.
For Family Members and Friends: If you are concerned about the gambling behaviour of a friend or family member, remember that you cannot force someone to seek help — but you can express your concern clearly, set boundaries around lending money, and encourage them to speak with a professional. Taking care of your own mental health during this time is equally important.

8. Safer Gambling Tips
Following these practical guidelines will help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling and keep your obaje experience enjoyable over the long term.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide in advance the maximum amount you are comfortable spending before each session — and stick to it. Treat this amount as the cost of entertainment, not an investment. Never exceed your pre-set budget.
Set a Time Limit Per Session
Decide how long you will play before you start, and stop when that time is up — regardless of whether you are winning or losing. Use obaje's session time limit tool to enforce this automatically.
Never Gamble to Escape Problems
Gambling is not an appropriate way to cope with stress, depression, anxiety, financial difficulty, or relationship problems. If you find yourself turning to gambling for relief, please speak with a support professional.
Only Gamble with Spare Money
Only ever gamble with discretionary income — money left over after all essential expenses (rent, food, transport, bKash commitments, family obligations) have been paid. Never gamble with borrowed money.
Accept That the House Has an Edge
All casino games and sports betting have a built-in mathematical advantage for the operator. Gambling should be viewed as paid entertainment with a chance of winning — not a reliable income strategy.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen regularly during a gaming session. Continuous, unbroken play can distort your sense of time and money. A five-minute break every hour helps you stay clear-headed and in control.
- I set and stick to a deposit budget every month
- I play for entertainment, not to make money
- I take regular breaks during gaming sessions
- I never chase my losses by increasing my bets
- I keep my gaming separate from my essential finances
- I regularly review my account transaction history
- I have activated at least one responsible gaming tool on my account
- Gambling while under the influence of alcohol or substances
- Gambling when emotionally distressed, angry, or anxious
- Using gambling as a way to solve financial problems
- Playing for extended sessions without breaks
- Making deposits immediately after a large loss to chase it back
- Hiding your gambling activity from people close to you
- Increasing bet sizes significantly after a losing streak
