Responsible Gaming
at hz689
Gambling is entertainment — and hz689 is committed to keeping it that way. This page explains the tools, limits, and support resources available to every player on the hz689 platform in Bangladesh, so you can always stay in control of your play.
Playing Responsibly on hz689
hz689 believes that gambling, when approached responsibly, is a legitimate and enjoyable form of entertainment for adults in Bangladesh. The platform offers cricket betting, live casino games, slots, and more — all designed for players who play within their means and treat wagering as a recreational activity, not a source of income.
However, hz689 also recognises that for a small minority of players, gambling can become problematic. Problem gambling can affect finances, relationships, mental health, and daily functioning. That is why hz689 has embedded a comprehensive responsible gaming programme into the platform — one that gives every player the tools to set boundaries, take breaks, and seek help if they need it.
hz689's responsible gaming programme is not a legal formality. It is a genuine operational priority, actively monitored by the hz689 compliance and player welfare team. Players who show signs of elevated risk are proactively contacted by the support team and offered the tools described on this page.
Gambling should never be used as a way to solve financial problems, recover losses, or earn a regular income. Every game on hz689 has a house edge, which means the platform always holds a statistical advantage over the long run. Play for fun — and only with money you can afford to lose.
If gambling is causing you distress right now, contact the hz689 support team at any time: [email protected]. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in English.
18+ Age Restriction
hz689 enforces a strict minimum age of 18 years for all players on the platform. This requirement applies to all residents of Bangladesh and to all international players accessing hz689.app, regardless of any local laws that may set a different threshold. The 18+ rule is non-negotiable and is actively enforced through the platform's KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process.
How Age Verification Works at hz689
During account registration, all players are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older by checking a mandatory declaration. However, hz689 does not rely solely on self-declaration. Before any withdrawal is processed, the account must pass a full KYC review, during which the player must provide:
- A valid government-issued photo ID — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence — clearly showing the player's date of birth.
- Proof that the date of birth on the ID confirms the player is aged 18 or above at the time of registration.
Accounts that cannot pass age verification are suspended pending review and, if the player is found to be under 18, are permanently closed. Any balance held in an underage account is returned to the originating payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, etc.) and all betting activity is voided.
Zero Tolerance for Underage Access
hz689 has a zero-tolerance policy toward underage gambling. If at any point hz689 has reason to suspect that an account is being operated by or on behalf of a person under the age of 18 — including through tip-offs from third parties — the account will be suspended immediately pending investigation. hz689 reserves the right to request additional age verification documentation at any time, including from long-standing account holders.
Parents and guardians who are concerned that a minor in their household may be accessing hz689 are encouraged to contact the support team at [email protected] immediately. hz689 will investigate and close any confirmed underage account within one business day.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look the same in every person. For some players it develops gradually over months; for others it can escalate quickly following a significant win or loss. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important step toward getting back in control. hz689 encourages all players to regularly reflect on their gambling behaviour using the checklist below.
Ask yourself honestly: in the past 30 days, have you experienced any of the following?
If you answered yes to two or more of the signs above, your gambling behaviour may be moving beyond recreational entertainment. hz689 strongly encourages you to use the protection tools described in the sections below, and to consider contacting a professional support service. You do not need to be at crisis point to ask for help — reaching out early is always the right decision.
Recognising a problem is not a sign of weakness. It takes self-awareness and courage to be honest about your gambling habits. hz689's support team is available 24/7 at [email protected] and will never judge you for reaching out.
Player Protection Tools
hz689 provides a comprehensive suite of player protection tools that are accessible directly from your account settings dashboard. These tools are available to every registered player at no cost, with no waiting period, and with no requirement to explain or justify why you are using them. hz689 actively encourages all players to set at least one protective limit when they first create their account.
How to Access Your Protection Tools
All responsible gaming tools on hz689 are accessible via the following steps:
hz689's player protection tools are designed to be frictionless when reducing access and appropriately cautious when increasing it. This asymmetry is intentional — hz689 will never make it easier to gamble more than it is to gamble less.
Deposit & Loss Limits
Deposit and loss limits are the most straightforward and effective responsible gaming tool available to hz689 players. By pre-committing to a maximum spend before you start playing, you remove the temptation to chase losses or increase stakes in the heat of the moment. hz689 offers three types of financial limit, all denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳).
Deposit Limits
A deposit limit caps the total amount you can deposit into your hz689 account over a chosen time period. hz689 offers daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. For example, a player might set a ৳5,000 weekly deposit limit to ensure their total gambling spend stays within their entertainment budget for the week. Once the limit is reached, further deposit attempts are automatically declined until the period resets.
Loss Limits
A loss limit caps the total net losses you can incur over a chosen time period. This is often considered a more meaningful measure than a deposit limit because it focuses on the actual financial impact of gambling rather than the amount of money moved into your account. If your net losses reach the limit you have set, hz689 will temporarily suspend betting activity on your account until the period resets.
Wager Limits
A wager limit restricts the total stake value you can place across all bets within a defined period. This is particularly useful for players who like to place many small bets over the course of a cricket match or a slots session, as it provides a cumulative cap on total staking activity independent of wins and losses.
How Limit Changes Work
- Decreasing a limit (e.g., reducing from ৳10,000 to ৳5,000 per week) takes effect immediately.
- Increasing a limit (e.g., raising from ৳5,000 to ৳10,000 per week) requires a mandatory 48-hour waiting period before the increase is applied. This cooling period is designed to prevent impulsive decisions made during a gambling session.
- Removing a limit entirely also requires the 48-hour waiting period and may be subject to additional review by the hz689 responsible gaming team.
hz689 recommends setting deposit and loss limits as the first action any new player takes after account registration. A modest limit that matches your actual entertainment budget is far more valuable than a high theoretical limit you rarely approach.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on hz689. It allows you to voluntarily block yourself from accessing the hz689 platform for a defined period, or permanently. Self-exclusion is the right choice when deposit limits and cool-off periods are no longer sufficient to keep your gambling under control.
Once a self-exclusion is applied, it cannot be reversed before the elected period expires — even if you contact support and request early reinstatement. This is intentional. The 48-hour minimum waiting period for any reinstatement request after a short exclusion (and the full period for longer exclusions) exists specifically to protect you from impulsive decisions made during a moment of craving.
Available Self-Exclusion Periods
hz689 offers the following self-exclusion options:
- 6-month exclusion — suitable for players who want a significant break to reassess their gambling habits.
- 1-year exclusion — recommended for players experiencing moderate signs of problem gambling.
- 3-year exclusion — appropriate for players who have identified a serious problem and want long-term protection.
- Permanent exclusion — for players who wish to close their account and never return to gambling on hz689. This option is irreversible.
What Happens During Self-Exclusion
When a self-exclusion is active on your hz689 account, the following measures apply:
- Your hz689 account is immediately locked and you cannot log in.
- All pending deposits are reversed to the originating payment method.
- Any withdrawable balance is processed and returned to your registered bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account within the standard processing timeframe.
- All marketing and promotional communications from hz689 are suppressed for the duration of the exclusion.
- If you attempt to create a new account during an active self-exclusion period, hz689 will identify and close that account. Circumventing self-exclusion by creating a new account is a violation of hz689's Terms & Conditions.
How to Apply Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion can be applied via your account's Responsible Gaming settings. If you cannot access your account or if you need the exclusion applied urgently, contact [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and your registered account username. The hz689 team will apply the exclusion within one hour of receiving your request, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Parental Controls
If you share a device or internet connection with children or young people under the age of 18, hz689 strongly recommends implementing device-level parental controls to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. While hz689 enforces its own age verification processes rigorously, device-level controls provide an additional layer of protection that operates independently of any specific website.
Recommended Steps for Parents and Guardians
- Use your device's built-in parental controls — Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS all include parental control features that allow you to block categories of websites, including gambling, at the operating system level.
- Enable router-level content filtering — Many home routers in Bangladesh support content filtering that can block gambling-related domains across all devices on the network. Check your router's administration panel or contact your internet service provider for assistance.
- Use dedicated filtering software — Third-party parental control applications provide advanced filtering capabilities across multiple devices and platforms.
- Never share your hz689 login credentials with any other person, including family members, regardless of age. Your account is for your use only.
- Log out of hz689 after every session, particularly on shared devices, to prevent unauthorised access by other household members.
hz689's KYC verification process is a strong deterrent against underage account creation, but it is not a substitute for parental supervision at the device level. Parents are ultimately responsible for supervising their children's access to online content, and hz689 encourages all guardians to take proactive steps regardless of the safeguards any individual platform has in place.
If you believe a person under 18 has accessed or is attempting to access hz689, please contact [email protected] immediately. hz689 will investigate and take appropriate action within one business day.
Getting Help & Support
If gambling has stopped being fun and has started affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, getting help is the most important thing you can do. You do not need to be in a crisis to deserve support. Reaching out early — before problems escalate — is always the right decision.
hz689's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including during Eid, Pohela Boishakh, Victory Day, and all public holidays in Bangladesh. The team can help you apply any of the responsible gaming tools described on this page, answer questions about your account activity, and provide a compassionate, non-judgmental first point of contact if you are concerned about your gambling.

A Final Word from hz689
hz689 wants every player in Bangladesh to enjoy cricket betting, casino games, and slots safely and sustainably. The tools on this page are built into the platform because hz689 genuinely believes that a player who gambles responsibly over a long period is more valuable — to themselves and to the platform — than a player who burns through their budget in a single session.
