Responsible Gaming at jya â Your Safety Comes First
jya believes that gambling should always be entertaining, never harmful. Our responsible gaming tools give every Bangladeshi player full control over their experience â 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 21+
đ¯ Our Commitment to Safer Play
At jya, responsible gaming is not a compliance checkbox â it is a fundamental part of how we operate. We are a platform built for players across Bangladesh, from Dhaka to Chittagong, Sylhet to Cox's Bazar, and we understand that our players lead real lives with real responsibilities. Gambling on jya should be a source of enjoyment, not stress.
Every tool described on this page is available to all registered jya players free of charge, accessible directly through your account settings after login. You do not need to wait for approval to activate a deposit limit, a session reminder, or a cool-off period â these protections take effect immediately or within 24 hours as specified below.
We strongly encourage all players to set personal spending limits at the time of registration, before any deposit is made. Setting a limit when you are calm and in control is far more effective than trying to impose one during an active session. Take a few minutes now to think about what you can comfortably afford to spend on entertainment each month â and set that as your deposit limit on jya.
đ All responsible gaming tools on jya are free, instant to activate, and cannot be reversed immediately â cooling-off periods apply to prevent impulsive removal of protections. This is by design. Your future self will thank you.
đ§ Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
jya provides six practical tools to help you stay in control. All are available inside your account settings after login.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Restrict the maximum amount you can lose within a defined time period. When your loss limit is reached, betting is paused automatically for the rest of that period.
Session Reminders
Receive an on-screen alert after a set duration of continuous play â for example, after 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. A gentle nudge to take a break and reassess.
Cool-Off Period
Temporarily suspend your jya account for between 24 hours and 30 days. During a cool-off, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The period cannot be shortened once set.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently close your account for a minimum of six months. jya will not accept deposits, bets, or re-registration attempts during the exclusion period. This is a serious, binding commitment.
Reality Check
View a clear summary of your total deposits, total losses, and net position at any point during your session. Transparency about your spending is a powerful tool for staying in control.
đ 21+ Age Restriction â Strictly Enforced
jya operates an absolute minimum age policy of 21 years for all players. This is not a guideline â it is a hard requirement enforced at registration through identity verification and maintained throughout your time on the platform.
If at any point jya's compliance team has reason to believe a registered player may be under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended pending full identity verification. Any funds held in a suspended account will not be accessible until the age check is satisfactorily completed. If the player is confirmed to be under 21, the account will be permanently closed and all deposits returned minus any winnings derived from those deposits.
Age Verification at Withdrawal
Before processing any withdrawal, jya requires a copy of your National Identity Card (NID) or an equivalent government-issued document confirming your date of birth. Players who cannot confirm they are 21 years or older will not be permitted to withdraw funds. This verification step protects both the player and the integrity of the platform.
Protecting Young People in Your Household
If you share a device with younger family members, please ensure that your jya account remains logged out when not in use, and that your password is not accessible to anyone under 21. Consider using parental control software if children have unsupervised access to your phone or tablet. jya cannot be held responsible for underage access that results from a player failing to secure their device and login credentials.
â ī¸ Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling becomes a problem when it stops being a form of entertainment and starts interfering with your daily life, finances, work, or relationships. Problem gambling can affect anyone â it is not a sign of weakness, and it is not something you have to manage alone. The first step is recognising the warning signs.
Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you:
- You spend more money gambling than you originally planned or can afford.
- You chase losses â betting more to try to win back money you have already lost.
- You hide your gambling activity from family, friends, or your partner.
- You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling.
- You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or neglected bills to fund gambling.
- Gambling is the first thing you think about when you wake up, or the last thing before you sleep.
- You have tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult or impossible.
- Gambling has caused arguments, tension, or problems in your relationships at home or at work.
- You feel that gambling is the only way to escape stress, boredom, or negative emotions.
If you recognised yourself in two or more of the above, we strongly encourage you to activate a cool-off period or self-exclusion via your jya account settings, and to reach out to jya support at [email protected] (plain text â not a clickable link) for a confidential conversation about the options available to you.
đ How Our Key Tools Work in Practice
Setting a Deposit Limit Step by Step
Log in to your jya account and navigate to Account Settings, then Responsible Gaming. Select "Deposit Limits" and choose your preferred period â daily, weekly, or monthly. Enter the maximum amount in BDT (Bangladeshi Taka) you are comfortable depositing within that period. Tap "Confirm". The limit is active immediately. To increase a limit, a 7-day cooling-off period applies before the change takes effect. Decreases are applied instantly.
Activating Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most serious tool available. Once activated, your jya account is closed for a minimum of six months. You cannot log in, deposit, receive promotional communications, or re-register during the exclusion window. To activate self-exclusion, go to Account Settings â Responsible Gaming â Self-Exclusion, or contact [email protected] directly and request exclusion in writing. The exclusion is processed within one hour of your request. We will also add your details to our internal suppression list so you do not receive jya marketing during the exclusion period.
Using a Cool-Off Period
A cool-off is a temporary break, shorter than full self-exclusion. You choose a duration between 24 hours and 30 days. During this period your account is suspended: no logins, no deposits, no bets. Any pending withdrawals will still be processed normally. Once the cool-off period has ended, your account is automatically reactivated â but you are encouraged to reflect carefully before resuming play. Cool-off periods cannot be shortened once set, though they can be extended at any time by contacting support.
Session Time Reminders
Long uninterrupted sessions are one of the most common contributors to overspending. jya's session reminder feature sends you a clear on-screen notification after the duration you select â anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours. The reminder displays how long you have been playing and your net session result so far. You can then choose to continue, take a break, or end your session. This feature is especially useful for players in Dhaka or Chittagong who play on mobile while commuting or during breaks at work.
