Set a Betting Limit

On sporty app, you can set your own daily, weekly, and monthly betting limits. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased before the designated time period has passed.

Cooling-Off Period

If you want to stay away long-term, you can self-exclude for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. During this period, sporty app will not send you any promotional communications.

Session Time Limit

Set a session timer to manage how long you bet in one sitting. When the time is up, sporty app will prompt you to take a break.

Loss Limit Controls

If your losses exceed a set limit, your account will be automatically suspended temporarily. This is the most effective way to protect your budget.

24/7 Support

For any questions or support around responsible gaming, sporty app's support team is here for you around the clock.

Practical Tips for Safer Betting

Millions of people enjoy betting on sporty app every day. Following these simple habits will keep it fun.

Set your budget in advance

Set a fixed betting budget at the start of each month. Once it's gone, stop — and wait until next month.

Think of betting as entertainment

Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income. Keeping that mindset makes it easier to accept losses as a normal part of the experience.

Take regular breaks

Avoid long, uninterrupted betting sessions. Take at least a 10-minute break every hour and get up for a short walk.

Don't bet under stress

Avoid betting when you're angry, sad, or lonely. It's harder to make sound decisions when you're in that headspace.

Know when to stop — even after a win

After a big win, the urge to chase even bigger wins can feel overwhelming. But that's exactly when the risk is highest — stick to your limits and stop.

Tell someone you trust

Letting a family member or trusted friend know about your betting habits creates accountability and makes it easier to stay in control.

What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible Gaming means betting in a way that keeps you in control at all times — financially, mentally, and socially. sporty app believes betting can be a legitimate form of entertainment, as long as it's done mindfully and within your limits.

Sports betting is growing in popularity across Bangladesh, especially during cricket and football seasons. But with that growth comes an increased risk of problem gambling. sporty app wants every user to stay informed about responsible play and to make use of our tools to protect themselves.

Sporty app's Responsible Gaming Policy

As a responsible betting platform, sporty app strictly upholds the following core principles:

  • Strictly prohibited for anyone under 18: Age is verified at registration, and identity is confirmed through the KYC process.
  • Transparent information: Clear information is provided on the risks and potential losses associated with every bet.
  • Identifying the problem: If unusual betting patterns are detected, sporty app automatically sends the user an alert.
  • Easy Access to Support: Responsible Gaming tools are always easy to access — no complicated process required.
  • Restraint in promotional advertising: sporty app never runs promotions that encourage risky betting behaviour.

What Family Members Can Do

Family members are often the first to notice when someone is struggling with a betting problem. If you believe someone close to you is betting irresponsibly, here's what you can do:

  • Speak calmly without making direct accusations
  • Try to understand how they feel — show empathy, not anger or judgment
  • Help them get in touch with the sporty app support team
  • Recommend professional counselling services
  • Remember, problem gambling is a behavioral issue — not a character flaw

Balancing responsible play and enjoyment

Millions of users enjoy betting on cricket, football, and more on sporty app every day. Responsible gambling doesn't mean you can't have fun — it simply ensures that betting always remains a positive part of your life.

When done right, betting is an exciting part of being a sports fan. Winning with your favourite team feels even better, and any losses won't have a meaningful impact on your life. That's what responsible gaming is all about.

sporty app's Commitment: We're more than just a betting platform — we're building a responsible gaming community where every member feels protected and respected.

Where to Go for Additional Support

Beyond sporty app's own support, you can also seek professional help. Consulting a mental health specialist or behavioural therapist is highly effective in overcoming problem gambling.
