Our Responsible Gaming Commitments

Six ways Sona 101 actively protects every player on the platform

Deposit and Loss Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit and loss limits directly from your account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for 24 hours — giving you a real cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

Sona 101 lets you set session time alerts so you get a notification when you've been playing for a set amount of time. It's easy to lose track — this feature makes sure you don't.

Cooling-Off Periods

Need a short break? You can activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is suspended and you cannot log in or place bets on Sona 101.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Self-exclusion is irreversible during the chosen period and our team will never pressure you to reverse it.

Reality Checks

Reality check pop-ups appear at regular intervals during your gaming session, showing you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered. A quick reality check goes a long way.

Age Verification

Sona 101 uses strict age verification at registration and during KYC checks. No one under 18 is permitted to open an account or place bets on the platform — no exceptions.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means playing for entertainment — not as a way to make money, escape problems, or deal with stress. At Sona 101, we want every player in Bangladesh to enjoy our platform the way it's meant to be enjoyed: as a fun activity with clear limits and full control.

The reality is that for most people, gaming on Sona 101 is exactly that — fun. You place a few bets on your favourite games, enjoy the thrill of a live match, and move on with your day. But for a small number of players, gambling can become a problem. Sona 101 takes that seriously, and we've built tools and processes specifically to help those players before things get out of hand.

Responsible gaming is not just a policy document for us. It's something we actively build into the platform. Every account on Sona 101 has access to the full suite of responsible gaming tools from day one — no need to call support or jump through hoops to use them.

The golden rule at Sona 101: only ever bet money you can afford to lose. Gaming should never affect your ability to pay rent, feed your family, or meet your financial obligations.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling doesn't always look obvious from the outside. It can creep up gradually. Here are some signs that gambling may be becoming a problem for you or someone you know:

  • Spending more money on gambling than you planned or can afford.
  • Chasing losses — placing more bets to try to win back money you've lost.
  • Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not gambling.
  • Gambling to escape stress, depression, or personal problems.
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back on gambling but failing to do so.

If any of these sound familiar, please don't ignore it . The tools on Sona 101 are here to help, and our support team is available 24/7 if you want to talk to someone.

If you recognise three or more of the signs above in your own behaviour, we strongly recommend activating a cooling-off period or self-exclusion through your Sona 101 account settings right away.

Keeping Gaming Fun at Sona 101

The best way to enjoy Sona 101 long-term is to treat it as entertainment, not income. Here are some practical habits that keep gaming fun and under control:

  • Set a budget before you play — decide how much you're comfortable spending and stick to it, regardless of whether you're winning or losing.
  • Never chase losses — if you've hit your limit for the day, log out. Tomorrow is another day.
  • Take regular breaks — step away from the screen every hour. Use Sona 101's session reminder feature to help with this.
  • Don't play when you're upset or stressed — emotional states lead to poor decisions. Play when you're relaxed and in a good headspace.
  • Keep gaming in perspective — it's one activity among many. Make sure it doesn't crowd out time with family, friends, or other hobbies.
  • Use the tools available — deposit limits and session reminders exist for a reason. There's no shame in using them; it's just smart gaming.

Sona 101 is designed to be a platform you can enjoy for years. Players who game responsibly tend to have a much better experience overall — they enjoy the wins more and handle the losses better because they're never betting more than they can afford.

Protecting Young People

Sona 101 has a strict 18+ policy. We verify the age of every player during registration and again during KYC verification. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 is closed immediately, with deposits returned and winnings forfeited.

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites. You should also never share your Sona 101 login credentials with anyone, including family members.

If you suspect that a minor has accessed Sona 101 through your account or any other account, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act promptly.
