Play Mindfully and Safely

cold is an entertainment platform offering a variety of games including slots, live casino, and cricket betting. Before taking part in any betting or gaming activity, one thing must be clearly understood — this is entertainment only, not a guaranteed source of income. Every bet carries the possibility of winning or losing, and cold always wants you to enjoy the experience fully.

The minimum age to participate on our platform is 21. Any form of betting by minors is strictly prohibited in Bangladesh. An age verification process is followed when registering at cold. If you believe a minor you know is using this platform, please contact us right away.

The foundation of responsible gaming is knowing your own limits. Deciding in advance how much time and money you will put in — and sticking to those decisions — is the sensible approach. In cold's FAQ section you will find answers to questions about deposit limits, self-exclusion, and other safety features.

To learn more about the philosophy and commitment behind cold, you can read our About Us page. We believe an informed player is a happy player.

Tools for Setting Your Own Limits

Deposit Limit

Set in advance how much you will deposit each day, week, or month. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately.

Time Limits

Set a limit on how long you play in one sitting. When the set time passes, the system will alert you and can end the session if needed.

Self-Exclusion

If you want to take a break for a few days, use the option to temporarily close your account for a set period. Breaks can range from 1 week to longer durations.

Permanent Account Closure

If you feel you need to stop playing entirely, contact us via live chat or email to request a permanent account closure.

Gaming History Review

You can view your complete gaming activity history at any time. Keeping track of your spending and time is the first step in responsible gaming.

Reality Check

You will receive pop-up notifications at set intervals reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.

For help using these tools, contact cold's 24/7 live chat or email support.

Recognise the Warning Signs

When gaming goes beyond the limits of entertainment, certain signs appear. If you notice the following in yourself or someone close to you, it is time to pay attention.

  • Continuing to play repeatedly to try to recover lost money — stop if this thought enters your mind.
  • Spending beyond your set budget, or taking money away from essential expenses (food, rent) to play.
  • Hiding your gaming from family or friends, or lying about it.
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities to spend hours focused on gaming.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not playing.
  • Playing with borrowed money or by taking loans from others.
  • Trying to stop but returning again and again — the feeling of losing control over yourself.

Ways to Get Support

Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. You are not alone — reach out through any of the following.

cold Live Chat

cold's support team is available seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day in both Bengali and English. Contact live chat at any time for self-exclusion, deposit limits, or account closure.

Email Support

Beyond live chat, cold's support team can also discuss matters in detail over email. Our support email: [email protected] — replies are typically sent within a few hours.

Family and Loved Ones

Speaking openly with a family member or a trusted friend is often the most effective step. Support from those close to you can help ease stress and give you a fresh start.

Professional Counsellors

Seeing a mental health specialist or counsellor is completely normal. Trained counsellors at government hospitals and private mental health centres in Bangladesh can help.

Self-Assessment

Ask yourself every day — was today's gaming for fun, or to escape some pressure? This honest assessment is the first step toward awareness.

Healthy Habits for Responsible Gaming

01
Set your budget first Before each session, decide how much you will spend and stop when that amount is gone — regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
02
Do not play when drinking or tired Avoid gaming when you are not in a good state of mind or when you are tired. Your ability to make decisions is reduced in these conditions.
03
Take breaks Rest for a while after 30–45 minutes of play. Long uninterrupted sessions reduce focus and increase the risk of overspending.
04
Keep your expectations realistic The outcome of every game is random. Enjoy a win when it comes, and treat a loss as the cost of entertainment.
05
Do not chase a big win When you have a big win, stopping at that moment is the wise move. Withdraw your set share rather than putting all the money back into bets.
06
Spend time on other activities Family, friends, hobbies, exercise — keep variety in your life so that gaming does not become your only interest.
