Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Shridhara, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed purely as a form of entertainment. Games of chance are unpredictable by nature, and there is no guaranteed way to earn money through gambling. Always remember:
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set realistic expectations—the house always has an edge
- Never view gambling as a solution to financial problems
- Treat it as a paid entertainment activity, like watching a movie or playing sports
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
Online gaming is strictly for adults only. In Bangladesh, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in any form of gambling activity.
We do not permit:
- Anyone under 18 years old to create an account or play
- Use of false identification or borrowed credentials
- Gambling on behalf of minors
If you are under the legal age, please do not register. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor online activity and use parental controls.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop quickly. Please review the following checklist and seek help if you recognize these patterns in your behavior:
- Chasing Losses: Gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Hiding Activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Loss of Control: Gambling longer or with more money than intended
- Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Using Gambling to Escape: Gambling to relieve stress, anxiety, or depression
- Increased Tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel excitement
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop
- Borrowing Money: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling

If you recognize any of these signs, help is available. Please reach out to a support organization today.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
We provide tools to help you maintain control over your gaming activity:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once you reach your limit, you cannot deposit additional funds until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Establish a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given timeframe. Once reached, your account will be temporarily restricted from further play.
Reality Checks
Receive pop-up reminders during gaming sessions about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered. These help you stay aware and in control.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a break from gambling, you can self-exclude from your account for a period ranging from 24 hours to several months or permanently. During this time, you will not be able to access your account or place any bets.
Account Cooling-Off
Request a temporary suspension of your account to take time away from gaming.
To access these tools, contact our customer support team or visit your account settings.
