Account & Registration

5 Questions

Creating a sona1 account takes under two minutes. Visit sona1.bio, click the registration link, and fill in your full name, date of birth, mobile number, and preferred currency (BDT). You must be at least 21 years old to register. Once your basic details are submitted, you will receive a verification code via SMS to confirm your mobile number and activate your account.

sona1 requires a government-issued photo ID for account verification — a National ID card (NID), passport, or driving licence is accepted. You may also be asked to provide a recent utility bill or bank statement as proof of address. Documents should be clear, unedited photographs or scans. Verification is typically completed within 24 hours of submission.

No — each player is permitted exactly one sona1 account. Duplicate accounts are a violation of the Terms and Conditions and will be permanently closed, with any balances subject to forfeiture. If you have forgotten your login credentials, use the account recovery option on the login page rather than creating a new registration.

If you are unable to log in to sona1, first check that you are entering the correct username and password — passwords are case-sensitive. Use the 'Forgot Password' link on the login page to reset via your registered mobile number or email. If the problem persists, contact sona1 support via live chat or email at [email protected] and the team will assist you within a few hours.

To permanently close your sona1 account, contact the support team via live chat or email at [email protected] and submit a written account closure request. Any remaining real-money balance will be returned to your registered payment method within 5 business days. Note that permanently closing your account is different from self-exclusion — if problem gambling is the reason, self-exclusion is strongly recommended instead.
