Responsible Betting Protection Tools

At 40a, we have built several powerful tools to keep you safe.

Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period, while reductions take effect instantly.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a betting break for 24 to 72 hours. During this time, you can still log in to your account but cannot place any bets or make deposits.

Self-Exclusion

Take a break lasting anywhere from 1 week to 5 years. During exclusion, your account is completely deactivated — no logins permitted.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you'll play in one session. When the time is up, you'll be automatically logged out and sent a reminder.

Betting History Review

View a clear breakdown of how much you have spent and how many bets you have placed over the last 7, 30, or 90 days, and use it to assess yourself honestly.

Reality Check Alerts

You'll receive a pop-up reminder every 30, 60, or 90 minutes showing how long you've been playing and how much has been transacted.

Self-Exclusion Guide

What to Do When You Need a Long Break

Self-exclusion is the option to choose when you realize that betting is getting out of control. It is not a sign of weakness — it is proof of courage and self-awareness.

Self-Exclusion at 40a means your account is fully closed – no logins, no new accounts. It cannot be lifted until the designated period has ended.

Step 1
Make a commitment
Ask yourself how long a break you need — anywhere from 1 week to 5 years.
Step 2
Contact Support
Reach us via live chat or email support@40a.bet and let us know you want self-exclusion.
Step 3
Account Closure
Our team will deactivate your account and return your balance within 24 hours.
Step 4
Enjoy the Break
Spend time with family, discover a new hobby — come back refreshed and with a clear head.
FAQ

Yes. Once a Self-Exclusion request is made, all funds in your account are returned to your registered payment method. No balance is withheld.

Cooling-Off is a short-term break of 24–72 hours – your account stays open but betting is paused. Self-Exclusion is a long-term (1 week to 5 years) full account deactivation.

Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period – this rule helps prevent impulsive decisions that go against your better judgment.

No. Your account cannot be reactivated before the self-exclusion period ends. This is intentional — so that the right decision holds firm in moments of crisis.

Yes, a parent or family member can contact support to request self-exclusion on your behalf — however, some information will be required to verify the account holder's identity.

When you set a 30, 60, or 90-minute limit, a pop-up will appear on screen once the time is up, showing how long you have been playing and the total transactions for that session. You can then choose to stop or continue.
The 40a Philosophy

Why Does Responsible Gaming Matter?

Online betting is growing fast in Bangladesh. Millions of people enjoy betting on cricket matches, discussing odds with friends — it's a perfectly normal form of entertainment.

The reality is that any enjoyable activity can become a problem when taken too far. Research shows that 3–5 out of every 100 bettors may show signs of addiction. This is no one's personal failing — it is a health condition, and one that can be treated.

40a has prioritised this from day one. We want every member to stay happy and healthy in the long run. That's why our platform has no features designed to pressure or push you into betting more.

7 Rules for Healthy Betting Habits

  • Set Your Budget First — Set a fixed amount for betting at the start of each month. Once it's gone, stop.
  • Withdraw When You Win — Instead of betting your winnings again, withdraw them to your account.
  • Betting is never a job – This is entertainment, not a source of income. Keep that mindset.
  • Never Bet Out of Anger or Frustration – Betting on impulse leads to losses most of the time.
  • Take regular breaks – Take at least 2 days off from betting every week.
  • Tell Your Family – There is nothing to hide about betting. In fact, letting your family know creates a sense of social accountability.
  • Speak Up If You See a Problem — 40a's support team is always ready to help you, in complete confidence.
