Our Commitment to Safe Play

At acu365, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core principle woven into every aspect of how the platform operates. We believe gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal hardship.

Player-First Philosophy

acu365 places the wellbeing of every player ahead of commercial gain. Our responsible gaming policies are designed to protect vulnerable individuals and ensure that the acu365 platform remains a safe space for recreational play across Bangladesh.

Secure & Transparent Platform

All games on acu365 are sourced from certified providers — Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Spribe, and others — whose RNG (Random Number Generator) systems are independently audited for fairness. Players always know the odds before they play.

Dedicated Support Team

Our 24/7 support team is trained to identify early signs of problem gambling and to guide players towards the appropriate responsible gaming tools or external support organisations without judgment or delay.

Spend Tracking & Alerts

acu365 provides players with a detailed transaction history and session summary so you can monitor your activity at a glance. Automated alerts notify you when your spending approaches a threshold you have set for yourself.

No Predatory Marketing

acu365 does not send promotional communications to players who are currently under a self-exclusion or time-out arrangement. Responsible gaming flags are respected automatically by our marketing systems.

Continuous Improvement

acu365 regularly reviews its responsible gaming programme against international best practices. Player feedback and independent audits are used to identify gaps and strengthen the tools and support available to the acu365 community in Bangladesh.


Age Restriction & Verification

acu365 operates a strict 18+ age policy. Gambling is not appropriate for minors, and we take every reasonable step to prevent underage access to the platform.

18+

You Must Be 18 or Older to Play on acu365

acu365 requires all players to be at least 18 years of age to register, deposit, and play on the platform. Players are asked to confirm their date of birth at registration and must complete a KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification process before any withdrawal is processed. Identity documents accepted include the Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), a valid passport, or a driver's licence. Any account found to belong to a player under the age of 18 will be immediately suspended and all funds returned to the deposit source.

Protecting Minors

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor may have accessed the acu365 platform using your device or payment methods, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate the matter promptly and take the appropriate action to protect the minor and address any transactions that may have occurred.

acu365 recommends that adults who share devices with minors make use of parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Third-party tools such as Net Nanny and Kaspersky Safe Kids can be configured to block gambling content at the device level.

KYC Verification Process

All acu365 players are required to complete identity verification as part of the account onboarding process. Verification typically requires:

  • A clear photograph or scan of your Bangladesh NID or passport
  • A selfie or photograph confirming your likeness
  • Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement issued within the last three months)
  • Confirmation of the payment method used for deposits (e.g., bKash or Nagad account number)

Verification is completed within 24 hours in most cases. Players who have not yet completed KYC may place limited bets but will be unable to withdraw until verification is approved.


Recognising Problem Gambling

For most people, gambling on acu365 is an enjoyable pastime. However, for a small number of players, gambling can become a problem that affects their finances, relationships, and mental health. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step towards getting back in control.

Behavioural Warning Signs

  • Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended
  • Chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to win back what you have lost
  • Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop gambling
  • Gambling for longer than you planned, or repeatedly failing to set a stop time
  • Hiding your gambling activity from family members or close friends
  • Using money intended for household expenses, rent, or bills to fund gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to continue gambling
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of time spent gambling

Emotional Warning Signs

  • Feeling anxious, depressed, or guilty about your gambling habits
  • Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions
  • Becoming preoccupied with gambling — thinking about it constantly when not playing
  • Feeling euphoric during wins but experiencing severe distress during losses
  • Feeling that gambling is the only activity that provides relief or excitement
  • Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling

If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use the acu365 responsible gaming tools described on this page, or to reach out to our support team at [email protected] for confidential guidance. You are not alone — help is available.


Self-Exclusion Programme

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on acu365. It allows you to voluntarily block yourself from accessing the platform for a defined period — or permanently — when you feel that gambling is no longer under your control.

01

30-Day Exclusion

A short cooling-off period suitable for players who want a brief break to reassess their gambling habits without committing to a longer absence from the platform.

02

3-Month Exclusion

A medium-term exclusion that provides a longer period for reflection and recovery, suitable for players who have noticed a pattern of escalating behaviour over recent weeks.

03

12-Month Exclusion

A full-year exclusion for players who recognise a significant gambling problem and want an extended period away from the platform while seeking professional support.

04

Permanent Exclusion

A lifetime ban on the acu365 account with no option to reopen. This is the appropriate choice for players who have decided that gambling is not compatible with their long-term wellbeing.

How to Apply for Self-Exclusion

To activate a self-exclusion on your acu365 account, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered email address, your preferred exclusion duration, and confirmation that you are making this request of your own free will. The exclusion will be applied to your account within 24 hours of your request being received.

Once a self-exclusion is active, your account will be immediately suspended. You will be unable to log in, place bets, or make deposits for the duration of the exclusion period. Any promotional or marketing communications from acu365 will also be suspended for the duration of your exclusion.

Lifting a Self-Exclusion

For exclusions of 30 days or 3 months, a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period applies after the exclusion expires before the account can be reactivated. This gives you additional time to reconsider before returning to the platform. For 12-month exclusions, a 30-day cooling-off period applies. Permanent exclusions cannot be lifted under any circumstances.

Deposit & Loss Limits

Setting a deposit or loss limit is one of the most practical ways to stay in control of your gambling spend on acu365. These limits cap the maximum amount you can deposit or lose over a defined time period, helping you stick to your personal budget.

Daily Deposit Limit

Set a maximum amount in BDT (using ৳) that you are permitted to deposit within a 24-hour rolling period. Once the limit is reached, the cashier will decline further deposits until the next day. For example, a ৳2,000 daily limit ensures your daily gambling spend never exceeds that amount regardless of the games you play or the results you experience.

Weekly Deposit Limit

A weekly deposit cap rolls over every 7 days from the day you set it. This limit is ideal for players who want to manage their gambling budget on a weekly basis, aligning their gambling spend with their regular income cycle — particularly useful for weekly wage earners in Dhaka, Chittagong, and other major cities across Bangladesh.

Monthly Deposit Limit

A monthly deposit limit provides the broadest level of budget control, capping your total deposits over a 30-day period. This is the recommended limit type for players who receive monthly salaries and want to ensure that gambling remains a small, planned portion of their discretionary spending.

Net Loss Limit

A net loss limit caps the total amount you can lose — across all games and bets — within a defined period. Unlike a deposit limit, which only tracks money put in, a loss limit accounts for your actual gaming outcome, providing a more accurate representation of your real financial exposure on the acu365 platform.

Limit Reduction vs. Limit Increase: Reducing your deposit or loss limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit or removing one entirely is subject to a mandatory 7-day waiting period. This cooling-off period is intentional — it gives you time to reflect on whether the increase genuinely aligns with your responsible gaming goals. To set or modify your limits, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Limit Request".


Time-Out & Reality Check Tools

Even if you are not experiencing a gambling problem, it is easy to lose track of time during an engaging game session. acu365 provides session management tools to keep you aware of how long you have been playing and to give you periodic prompts to reassess.

A

Reality Check Reminders

Set a reality check interval — available in 30-minute, 1-hour, or 2-hour increments — and acu365 will display a notification during your game session showing how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session. At each check, you can choose to continue or end your session.

B

Session Time Limits

Impose a hard stop on your gaming session by setting a maximum session duration. When the time limit is reached, your session will automatically end regardless of the game state. All unsettled bets remain valid and will be settled normally; any winnings will be credited to your account balance.

C

Short-Term Time-Out

A time-out is a temporary suspension of your acu365 account lasting between 24 hours and 6 weeks. It is less restrictive than a self-exclusion and is designed for players who feel they need a short break to regain perspective without committing to a longer exclusion period.

Cooling-Off Periods

Distinct from a formal self-exclusion, a cooling-off period can be requested at any time by contacting the acu365 support team. During a cooling-off period, your account remains technically active but your ability to make deposits is suspended. This tool is especially useful around high-risk periods such as major cricket tournaments like the BPL or IPL, Eid celebrations, or other events that may trigger impulse betting behaviour.

How to Activate Time-Out Tools

Reality check and session time limit settings can be configured directly within your acu365 account dashboard under the Responsible Gaming section. For time-out requests and cooling-off periods, contact the support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Time-Out Request". All requests are processed within 24 hours.

Quick Reference — Tool Summary

  • Reality Check: 30 min / 1 hr / 2 hr intervals
  • Session Limit: custom duration, auto-ends session
  • Time-Out: 24 hours to 6 weeks
  • Cooling-Off: deposit suspended, account active
  • Self-Exclusion: full account suspension, 30 days to permanent

Self-Assessment Questionnaire

The following questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your gambling behaviour. They are not a clinical diagnosis — but your answers may indicate whether it is worth speaking to someone about your gambling. Answer each question as honestly as you can.

Question 01

Have you ever spent more money gambling than you initially planned to spend in that session?

Question 02

Have you ever returned to gambling the next day to try to win back money you lost the previous day?

Question 03

Have you ever neglected your work, studies, family, or personal responsibilities because of time spent gambling?

Question 04

Have you ever borrowed money, used a credit facility, or sold personal items to fund gambling?

Question 05

Do you feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you are unable to gamble or when you try to cut back?

Question 06

Have you ever hidden your gambling activities — including deposits or withdrawals via bKash or Nagad — from people close to you?

Question 07

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently when you are not playing — planning future bets, reliving past sessions, or calculating potential winnings?

Question 08

Have you ever felt that gambling was the only activity that helped you escape from stress, loneliness, anxiety, or problems at home or work?

If you answered "yes" to two or more of the questions above, your gambling behaviour may be worth discussing with a professional. Please reach out to the acu365 support team at [email protected] — we will connect you with the appropriate resources and can activate a self-exclusion or deposit limit on your account immediately. Your privacy is respected at all times.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Sometimes the most effective form of support is an honest conversation with a family member, friend, or colleague you trust. Sharing what you are experiencing can reduce the sense of isolation that often accompanies problem gambling.

If you are not ready to talk to someone you know, the acu365 support team will listen without judgment.

Tips for Keeping Gambling Fun and Safe

For the majority of acu365 players, gambling is a genuinely enjoyable form of entertainment. The following practical guidelines help ensure it stays that way:

  • Set a budget before you play and treat it as an entertainment expense — money you are prepared to spend whether you win or lose.
  • Never chase losses. If you have reached your budget for the session, close the app and come back another day.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every hour. Use the acu365 reality check reminder to prompt you automatically.
  • Do not gamble when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair decision-making and increase the risk of impulsive betting.
  • Balance gambling with other hobbies. Ensure that gambling is one of several leisure activities in your routine rather than the primary source of entertainment or excitement.
  • Keep track of time and money spent. Review your acu365 transaction history regularly and compare it honestly against your personal budget.
  • Talk openly. If someone you trust expresses concern about your gambling habits, listen to them with an open mind rather than becoming defensive.
