Safe Betting

citinow Responsible Gaming Guidelines

Keep entertainment within limits. citinow believes that with the right awareness and self-control, gaming stays enjoyable. On this page, learn how to bet safely and thoughtfully.

This platform is only for users aged 21 or above. 21+

What does responsible gaming mean?

Playing online betting or casino games is not a problem in itself — problems start when it goes out of control. Responsible gaming is about making conscious decisions: how much time to spend, how much money to use, and when to stop.

At citinow, we want you to see gaming as a form of entertainment — not a way to earn a living or solve financial problems. Every bet carries the possibility of a loss, and you should play with that in mind. Read our Terms and Conditions to understand how the platform works to protect players.

Remember: Betting is a game of chance. No bet or strategy guarantees a profit. Never wager more than you can afford to lose.

If you want to know about any rules or account-related information, detailed answers are available on our FAQ page.

Self-Control Tools

citinow provides several tools that let you set your own gaming limits. Using these features helps keep your play under control.

Deposit Limit

Set in advance how much you will deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once a limit is set, it cannot be exceeded.

Financial Control

Time Limit

Set a time limit for how long you play per session. After that time, the platform will alert you.

Time Management

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break, you can request a temporary account suspension for a set period.

Temporary Break

Loss Limit

If you lose beyond a set amount, the session closes automatically — helping you avoid larger losses.

Loss Control

Cooling-Off Period

Take a cooling-off period from one day to six weeks — during this time you cannot log in or place bets.

Mental Rest

Permanent Closure

If you want to stop playing entirely for the long term, contact our support team to request permanent self-exclusion.

Permanent Solution

To activate or change any of these tools, contact our 24/7 live chat or email directly.

What signs should you watch for?

We often fail to notice when gaming starts to go out of control. If you recognise any of the following in yourself, treat it as a warning signal:

  • An urge to keep betting repeatedly in order to recover lost money
  • Borrowing money from family or friends to place bets
  • Repeatedly failing to stop betting despite trying to
  • Spending more time on gaming while neglecting work or family responsibilities
  • Hiding your gaming activity or lying about it
  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to play
  • Spending money set aside for essential expenses on betting
  • Being unable to stop after a win and continuing to play

Build Healthy Habits

Responsible players follow a few simple rules:

  • Set aside a fixed budget for betting — one that, if lost, will not cause financial hardship at home
  • Set a time limit before each session and stick to it
  • Never bet when drinking or under emotional stress
  • Stop when you lose — trying to quickly recover lost money often leads to bigger losses
  • Do not treat betting as your only entertainment; make time for other hobbies too
  • Let your loved ones know how much you are betting — being open makes it easier to stay in control

Where to go for help?

Acknowledging a problem takes courage. Seeking help at the right time can make the situation much more manageable.

citinow Support

citinow's 24/7 live chat and email support are available in Bengali and English. Speak with us directly to request self-exclusion or to set limits.

Email: [email protected]

Family and Friends

Talk openly with those close to you. Family or trusted friends can often provide the best support — be honest with them about your betting.

Professional Advice

Seeing a psychologist or counsellor is not a sign of weakness. Mental health counselling services are available in Bangladesh — at both government hospitals and private clinics.

Important: If you feel that your own or someone you know's gaming habits are heading toward a problem, seek help without delay. The sooner a problem is identified, the easier it is to address.

citinow's Responsibility

Responsible gaming is not the player's responsibility alone. citinow works at every step to ensure a safe environment.

21+ Age Verification

Age is verified when an account is opened. Accounts for anyone under 21 are not approved.

Protection of Minors

To protect children in a family environment, keep parental controls active on your devices — citinow never targets minors in its promotions.

Data Security

Your personal and financial information is kept secure using SSL encryption and modern security technology. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.

Monitoring Suspicious Activity

When unusual betting patterns are identified, our team makes contact and can activate limits if needed.

Why is the 21+ age limit important?

In line with adulthood considerations in Bangladesh and responsible gaming policy, citinow is for those aged 21 or above only. There are clear reasons for this.

At a young age, the maturity needed to make decisions about financial risk is generally lower. The financial and psychological impact of betting and gaming can seriously harm a young person's life. This is why we carry out strict age verification with no exceptions.

If a younger member of your family or someone you know attempts to open an account, please inform our support team.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Contact our 24/7 live chat or email and request self-exclusion. Both temporary (for a set period) and permanent exclusion are available. Your account will be restricted promptly after the request.

Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a waiting period — this helps prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Yes. Your balance remains fully safe during self-exclusion. Contact the support team when the exclusion ends or if you need help with a withdrawal.

citinow activates limits or exclusions only at the account holder's request. However, if a family member raises a concern, contact our support team directly — we can offer guidance.

Our team monitors unusual betting patterns. If concerning activity is noticed on an account, we reach out to that user and offer assistance.

No. Betting depends on chance and cannot be a reliable source of regular income over the long term. Treat it as entertainment — and only spend money that, if lost, will not affect your daily life.
