Responsible Gaming at
az444 — Play Smart, Stay Safe

Online gaming at az444 is designed to be an enjoyable leisure activity — a way to experience the thrill of cricket betting, live casino tables, and 3,200+ slot games from anywhere in Bangladesh. For the vast majority of our players, gaming remains exactly that: entertainment. However, az444 acknowledges that for some individuals gambling can become harmful, and we take our duty of care seriously.

This page sets out the responsible gaming framework that az444 operates under, the practical tools available to every player on the platform, and the external resources you can turn to if you or someone you know needs help. All support services and communications are available in English and operate in Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).

01 18+ Age Restriction

az444 operates a strict 18+ age policy. Gambling is for adults only. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to register an account, deposit funds, or participate in any form of gaming activity on the az444 platform. This policy applies to all players in Bangladesh and is enforced without exception.

Age Verification Process

Every new player who registers an az444 account is required to complete our Know Your Customer (KYC) age verification process before their first withdrawal — and in many cases before their first deposit. During KYC, you may be asked to submit:

• A government-issued National ID card, passport, or driving licence showing your date of birth
• A selfie or live photo for identity matching
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement) dated within three months

Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a player aged 18 or above will be permanently closed and any funds held will be handled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

02 Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually and can be difficult to recognise in yourself. az444 encourages all players to regularly reflect on their gaming habits. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has stopped being recreational and has become a problem.

If you identified with one or more of the warning signs above, we encourage you to use the tools available on az444 — described in the sections below — and to consider reaching out to a support organisation. Recognising the signs early is the most effective step you can take.

03 Deposit Limits

Deposit limits are one of the most practical and effective responsible gaming tools available on the az444 platform. Setting a deposit limit means you cannot deposit more than a specified amount of Bangladeshi Taka (৳) within a chosen time period, regardless of how you feel in the moment.

Limit Type	Period	How to Set	When It Takes Effect
Daily Deposit Limit	Resets every 24 hours (BST)	Account dashboard → Responsible Gaming	Immediately upon saving
Weekly Deposit Limit	Resets every 7 days (BST)	Account dashboard → Responsible Gaming	Immediately upon saving
Monthly Deposit Limit	Resets on the 1st of each month (BST)	Account dashboard → Responsible Gaming	Immediately upon saving

Increasing or Removing a Limit

Decreasing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing or removing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before the change comes into force. This delay is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider a decision that may have been made impulsively. During the cooling-off period you may cancel the request to increase or remove the limit at any time, and the original (lower) limit remains active.

04 Time-Out Feature

The time-out feature allows you to take a short break from gaming on az444 without permanently closing your account. This tool is ideal if you feel you need a pause — perhaps after a losing session, during a busy period at work, or simply to reassess your habits.

Available Time-Out Periods

• 24 Hours — A brief pause to clear your head after an intense session.
• 7 Days — A full week away from the platform.
• 30 Days — A monthly break to reset your habits and re-evaluate your approach to gaming.
• Custom period — Contact our support team to request a specific duration that suits your needs.

What Happens During a Time-Out

During an active time-out, your account remains open but you will be unable to log in, make deposits, place bets, or access any gaming content on the az444 platform. Any pending withdrawals at the time of activation will be processed normally. Marketing communications will be paused for the duration of your time-out.

A time-out ends automatically when the chosen period expires. You will not receive reminder notifications before it ends. If you wish to extend your time-out, contact our support team before the period ends and we will make the adjustment immediately.

05 Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most protective responsible gaming tool available on az444. When you self-exclude, your account is suspended for a minimum period of your choosing — from six months up to five years, or permanently — and you are barred from creating a new account for the same duration.

How to Self-Exclude

1. Log in to your az444 account and go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion.
2. Select your desired exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent.
3. Confirm your decision. You will receive an email confirmation to your registered address.
4. Alternatively, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat or email and request self-exclusion — we will action it immediately, without requiring you to log in.

What Self-Exclusion Covers

• Your existing az444 account is immediately suspended upon confirmation.
• All marketing communications (promotional emails, SMS, in-platform notifications) are stopped immediately.
• You will be prevented from opening a new az444 account under any email address or mobile number linked to your identity during the exclusion period.
• Any funds remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your verified payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account) within five business days.

Reinstating Your Account After Self-Exclusion

Reinstatement after a self-exclusion period requires a formal request to our support team. We will ask you to confirm the request in writing and will apply a mandatory 7-day reflection period before reinstating access, even if the original exclusion period has already expired. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.

06 Support Resources

az444 encourages any player who is concerned about their gambling — or the gambling of someone close to them — to seek help. Talking to someone is one of the most effective steps you can take. The following organisations provide confidential, non-judgmental support:

07 Tips for Safer Play

Responsible gaming is not just about using platform tools — it is also about the habits and mindset you bring to every session. The following practical tips are designed to help players in Bangladesh enjoy az444 sustainably over the long term.

Before You Play

• Set a budget before you start. Decide in advance how much Bangladeshi Taka (৳) you are comfortable spending — treat it as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment. Once that budget is spent, stop.
• Set a time limit. Decide how long you will play before your session begins, and use a phone alarm to remind yourself. Long sessions increase the risk of impulsive decisions.
• Never chase losses. Losing streaks are a normal part of gambling. Chasing losses by betting more to recover is one of the most common patterns in problem gambling — recognise it and walk away.
• Play sober. Avoid gambling when under the influence of alcohol or any substance that might impair your judgement.

During Play

• Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every 30-45 minutes. Grab a glass of water, stretch, or take a short walk. Continuous play leads to fatigue and poor decisions.
• Understand the odds. Every game on az444 — whether it is a slot, live casino table, or cricket market — has a built-in house edge. The house always has a statistical advantage over time. Play for enjoyment, not profit.
• Use only entertainment money. Never use money earmarked for rent, utilities, groceries, school fees, or any other essential expense for gambling. Only wager with disposable income.
• Keep it balanced. Gambling should be one of several leisure activities in your life — not your primary source of entertainment, social connection, or emotional relief.

After Your Session

• Review your session in your account transaction history. Seeing actual numbers helps maintain an accurate picture of your spending.
• If you went over budget, consider setting a deposit limit before your next session so the same situation cannot repeat.
• If you feel you need a break, activate the time-out feature rather than waiting until you feel ready to stop.
