Setting a deposit limit

You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Once a limit is in place, the system will automatically block any deposits that exceed it.

What is responsible betting and why does it matter

Understanding it is one thing — applying it is what truly matters

Placing a bet on a cricket match and feeling that little rush when you win — that's a perfectly normal form of entertainment. Millions of people across Bangladesh enjoy Forbets the same way. The problem starts when betting stops being entertainment and becomes a habit — one that gradually slips out of control.

Responsible betting means setting your own limits before you start. How much am I willing to spend? How long will I play? And can I genuinely accept a loss if it comes? Answering these questions honestly is the first step toward responsible betting. The Forbets platform is built to make those decisions easier.

At Forbets, a responsible bettor is someone who enjoys the thrill of winning, accepts losses with composure, and comes back the next day with the same mindset. When betting becomes driven by anger, frustration, or chasing losses, it's time to stop.

The golden rules of responsible betting
  • Only bet money you can afford to lose without it affecting your day-to-day life.
  • Resist the urge to place larger bets to recover your losses.
  • Never think of betting as a source of income — it's entertainment.
  • Never borrow money from family or friends to place bets.
  • If you're feeling low or under stress, take a break from betting that day.

How to set limits on Forbets

Take control of your betting in just a few simple steps

1
Go to Account Settings

Log in to the Forbets app or website and click the profile icon in the top right corner. Select "Account Settings".

2
Open the "Responsible Gaming" option

In the settings menu, look for the "Responsible Gaming" option. All protection tools are available in one place here.

3
Set Your Own Limits

Deposit limit, session time, or cooling-off period — choose what you need, enter the amount or duration, and hit "Save".

4
Verify Confirmation

Once a limit is set, you'll receive a confirmation by email or SMS. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Good to Know

Once a limit is set, reducing it takes effect immediately — but increasing or removing it can take anywhere from 24 hours to 7 days. This delay is intentional, to prevent impulsive changes made in the heat of the moment.


Detailed guide to each tool

Which tool to use and when

Deposit Limit

This is the most effective tool for anyone who wants to keep their monthly spending in check. For example, if you decide to spend a maximum of ৳2,000 on betting per month, simply set that limit. After that, no matter how tempted you are, the system won't allow any further deposits. The limit resets automatically at the start of the next month.

Session Limit (Session Time Limit)

If you find yourself betting late at night or sneaking in sessions during work hours, session limits can help. Set a maximum number of hours you want to bet in one sitting. When time is up, you'll be automatically logged out — with a 15-minute cooldown before you can log back in.

Cooling-Off Period

Lost a few days in a row, or feeling like you just need a short break — but don't want to close your account? Take a cooling-off period. Choose what works for you: 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, or 3 months. Your account balance stays safe during this time, but placing bets won't be possible.

Self-Exclusion

The most powerful tool — and the boldest decision. If you feel your betting is getting out of control, you can request to close your own account. Just tell Forbets support in Bangla — no reason required. After the account is closed, your balance remains safe and can be withdrawn after the designated period.


Check In With Yourself

Answer these questions honestly — no one is watching

The questions below help identify common signs of problem betting. If you find yourself saying "yes" to three or more, it may be time to use Forbets' responsible gaming tools.

When you lose a bet, do you place a bigger bet to try to win the money back?

Tendency to chase losses

Have you ever taken money from household expenses to fund your betting?

Financial priority issues

Do you hide your betting from family or friends?

Tendency to hide

Do you find yourself constantly drawn to betting sites just before bed or in the middle of work?

Signs of addiction

Do you feel irritable, anxious, or angry when you can't bet?

Psychological dependency

Have you ever bet with borrowed money or taken out a loan to fund your betting?

Financial risk

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, that's not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of self-awareness. Reach out to Forbets Support. We're here to help, without judgment.

Forbets' Responsible Gaming Commitment

What We Do and Won't Do

Forbets doesn't just think about profit. If a member runs into trouble, that's a failure on our part. Here are our commitments:

  • We will proactively reach out to members showing signs of problem gambling
  • We will not encourage members to return to betting after self-exclusion
  • We'll keep making responsible gaming tools even easier to use
  • We will direct members seeking help toward the right resources

Many people assume that when a betting platform talks about responsible gaming, it's just for show. Forbets wants to change that perception. Our data shows that users who set deposit limits stay active longer and enjoy betting more. Responsible gaming is good for our business too — because a healthy user is our best member.

Every new Forbets member receives information about responsible gaming right after registration. We strongly recommend setting a budget limit before you start betting. It's not mandatory, but it's advice we stand behind wholeheartedly.

If someone close to you — a family member or friend — seems to be struggling with a betting problem, you can help too. Show them this page, or reach out to Forbets support to speak with us directly. We keep third-party identities strictly confidential.

Remember — stepping away from betting isn't losing. Choosing to protect yourself is the smartest move you can make. And Forbets will be right there with you when you do.

Frequently Asked Questions about Forbets

Answers to common questions about the app and betting features

What you're describing is called an accumulator or acca bet — also known as a multi-bet or combo bet. It's easy to do on Forbets. Go to the betting page and select an outcome from your first match — it will be added to your bet slip. Without closing the slip, keep adding outcomes from a second, third, or more matches. On the bet slip, go to the "Accumulator" or "Multi" tab and you'll see the odds from all your selections multiplied together into a combined total odds. Enter your stake and confirm the bet. One thing to keep in mind — the more matches you add to an accumulator, the higher the potential payout, but if any single selection loses, the entire bet is void. Think it through before stacking too many matches at once. And don't forget to play responsibly.

This is a fairly common issue and the fix is usually straightforward. If the app won't open or you're seeing an "Update Required" message, start by fully closing the app and restarting your phone. Then go to the Play Store or App Store, search for Forbets, and tap "Update" if the option is available. Once updated, log in again. If the problem persists after updating, go to your phone's Settings and clear the app's Cache and Data — this resolves most cases. Uninstalling the app completely and reinstalling it fresh is also a reliable fix. If none of these steps work, you can open forbets.best in your mobile browser and play normally — all features are available there too. If the app issue continues, please let support know.
