sona101 Responsible Gaming — Keep Yourself Safe

Entertainment is enjoyable only when it stays in control. sona101 believes that gaming is not just about trying to win — it is about being aware of your time and money. On this page you will find responsible gaming tools, warning signs, and ways to get help.

This site is for users aged 21 and above only

Why Responsible Gaming Matters


Online betting and casino games are a form of entertainment — but they are best enjoyed with the right mindset and a plan. sona101 always wants its users to understand their financial limits, keep track of time, and never treat gaming as a source of income. Gaming becomes a problem when someone repeatedly plays more in an attempt to recover losses, making the situation worse.

Our Terms and Conditions page details what types of behaviour may put an account at risk and how sona101 monitors them. Every user is responsible for staying aware and seeking help when needed.

Gaming problems do not develop overnight — they form gradually into a habit. So from the start, set a budget for yourself, decide on a time limit, and keep in mind that every bet carries the possibility of a loss. If you ever feel the situation is getting out of hand, contact sona101's live chat support — our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help in Bengali.

Under our Privacy Policy, your personal information is kept fully secure. Any request for self-exclusion or limit setting is also handled confidentially.

Tools for Setting Your Own Limits


sona101 has several tools that help you manage your own gaming experience. To use these features, contact us directly through live chat.

Deposit Limit

Set a limit on how much you deposit per day, per week, or per month. Once this limit is active, you will not be able to deposit beyond the set amount.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance how long you will play in one session. When the set time is up, the session will end automatically so you do not spend more time than intended.

Temporary Break

Suspend your account temporarily for a set number of days or weeks. You will not be able to log in while the break is active.

Self-Exclusion

Choose self-exclusion for a longer break. While active, your account is completely disabled and no promotional messages are sent to you.

Activity History

View the full transaction history of your betting and casino activity at any time. Staying aware of your spending is the first step in responsible gaming.

Bet Limit

Set a maximum amount you can place on each bet. This limit helps protect you from placing large bets on impulse.

Warning Signs of a Problem


If any of the following apply to you or someone close to you, take the matter seriously and consider seeking help.

  • Repeatedly placing larger bets in the hope of recovering lost money, which makes the situation worse.
  • Spending money on betting that should cover essential expenses such as rent, food, or family needs.
  • Trying to control the time or amount spent on gaming and repeatedly failing to do so.
  • Hiding gaming activity from family or friends, or lying about it.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to play.
  • Giving up work, study, or social activities to prioritise gaming.
  • Thinking about borrowing money or selling valuables to fund gaming.

Where to Get Help


If you are facing a problem, you do not have to deal with it alone. Get support through any of the options below.

sona101's 24/7 live chat support is available in Bengali. Speak directly about self-exclusion, setting limits, or any concern — the team will help with complete confidentiality.

Family and Trusted Ones

Tell someone close to you in your family about the problem. Support from family can often be more effective than professional help. Open up to someone you trust.
