Responsible Gaming at sona11
Gaming on sona11 should always be an enjoyable experience. We provide the tools, information, and support you need to stay in control and play within your means.
Our Commitment
At sona11, responsible gaming is not a footnote — it is a core part of how we operate Bangladesh's premier online casino and sports betting platform. We believe that gambling, when approached with the right mindset and clear limits, is a legitimate and enjoyable form of entertainment. However, we also recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can become a problem.
sona11 is committed to providing every player with the information, tools, and practical support needed to manage their gambling behaviour responsibly. We actively invest in features that give you control over your activity, and our support team is trained to assist players who feel that gambling is affecting their wellbeing.
This page explains the responsible gaming measures we have in place, the warning signs to watch for, and the steps you can take — or ask us to take — if you feel your gambling needs closer management. All players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Cox's Bazar are entitled to these protections.
21+ Age Restriction
Adults Only Platform
sona11 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. No person under the age of 21 is permitted to register, deposit, or play on our platform under any circumstances.
During the registration process, sona11 requires all players to confirm that they are 21 years of age or older. Where our verification checks identify that a player may be underage, we will suspend the account immediately and request documentary proof of age before any access is reinstated. Any deposits or winnings associated with an underage account will be forfeited in line with our Terms and Conditions.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on any shared device that could be used to access gambling websites. If you believe a minor in your household has accessed sona11, contact our support team immediately at [email protected] and we will act without delay.
Your Control Tools
sona11 provides a range of practical tools designed to help you manage your gambling activity. These tools are available to every registered player and can be activated at any time by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Here is a full overview of what is available:
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. For example, you can cap your deposits at ৳2,000 per day or ৳10,000 per month. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit is instant; increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before it comes into force.
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can request a time-out for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you will not be able to log in or place bets. You will also be excluded from all promotional communications for the duration. Time-outs cannot be lifted early.
For players who need a more extended break, self-exclusion allows you to block access to your sona11 account for a minimum period of 6 months, up to a permanent exclusion. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen period has expired. We will not send you any marketing communications during this time. Reinstatement after the period requires a manual review by our team.
You can request a cap on the total amount you are permitted to lose in a single session or within a rolling period. You can also set a maximum session duration after which the platform will prompt you to take a break. These tools work in the background to keep your gambling within a budget you are comfortable with.
Request periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and a summary of your net gaming activity during that session. Reality checks are an effective nudge to pause, reassess, and decide whether you want to continue playing or log off.
If you wish to permanently close your sona11 account, contact our support team with your username and a clear request for permanent closure. Any remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or card) after identity verification. Account closure is irreversible.
Six Principles of Safe Play
Decide how much you can afford before you start. Treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
Decide in advance how long you will play. Set a timer on your phone and stop when it goes off.
Never gamble when under the influence of alcohol, substances, or when feeling emotionally distressed or stressed.
Chasing losses is one of the most dangerous gambling habits. Walk away when you reach your loss limit.
Step away from the screen regularly. Continuous play impairs judgment and increases the risk of impulsive decisions.
If gambling is affecting your relationships, finances, or mental health, speak to a trusted person or contact our support team.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Problem gambling does not always look the same. It can develop gradually and is not always obvious — even to the person experiencing it. The following are common warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. If you recognise several of these in yourself or in someone you know, we strongly encourage you to reach out for help.
- Spending more than planned: Consistently exceeding the budget you set before a session, or depositing repeatedly in a single day to chase losses.
- Gambling with essential money: Using funds meant for rent, utilities, food, or family expenses (via bKash, Nagad, or bank accounts) to fund gambling activity.
- Chasing losses: Feeling compelled to keep playing after a losing session in the belief that a win is imminent or that losses must be recovered.
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, studies, family time, or important commitments in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere because of time spent gambling.
- Hiding gambling activity: Concealing the amount of time or money spent on sona11 or other platforms from family members or close friends.
- Inability to stop: Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to cut back on gambling, or being unable to stop even when you want to.
- Using gambling to escape: Turning to gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, or difficult personal circumstances.
- Borrowing to gamble: Taking out loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from friends and family specifically to fund gambling deposits.
