Responsible Gaming at 22bb — Play Smart, Stay in Control
At 22bb, we believe gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never stress, financial pressure, or harm. Our Responsible Gaming programme gives every Bangladeshi player the tools, information, and direct support they need to keep their gaming experience healthy, balanced, and enjoyable for the long term.
What Responsible Gaming Means at 22bb
Responsible gaming is not simply a policy checkbox — it is a core part of how 22bb operates and how we serve the Bangladeshi player community every single day.
Gambling at 22bb should always be a leisure activity enjoyed with a clear budget, a time limit, and full awareness of the odds involved. When those boundaries start to blur — when chasing losses becomes a habit, or when betting feels compulsory rather than fun — it is a signal that help may be needed. 22bb takes those signals seriously.
We have invested in a suite of player-protection tools that give you direct, real-time control over your gaming activity. Deposit limits, time-out periods, self-exclusion options, and access to professional support resources are all available to every registered player at no cost and with no penalty for using them. These are not last-resort measures — they are everyday tools that any player can and should use proactively.
Our dedicated responsible gaming team monitors platform activity for patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviour, and may proactively reach out to players whose activity raises concern. We also publish regular educational content to help our community understand the risks associated with gambling and how to manage them responsibly.
Gambling is Entertainment — Not Income
Never treat gambling as a way to earn money or recover debts. Every game on 22bb involves an element of chance and a house edge. Set a budget you are comfortable losing entirely before you start, and stick to it regardless of outcomes.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
Every 22bb player has access to these protection tools directly through their account. They are free to use, take effect immediately, and can be adjusted or activated at any time.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit cap on your 22bb account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can reduce your limit instantly, but increases require a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. Minimum configurable limit starts from ৳500.
Session Time Limits
Define how long you want each gaming session to last — from 30 minutes up to 8 hours. When your session limit is reached, 22bb will display a prominent reminder notification and prompt you to take a break. This tool helps prevent the "time blindness" that can occur during extended gaming sessions and keeps your play in check.
Time-Out / Cool-Off Period
Need a short break from gaming? The Time-Out feature lets you suspend your 22bb account for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place wagers. The cool-off begins immediately upon activation and cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a longer-term account suspension option available for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. Once activated, your account is blocked, all marketing communications are stopped, and you will not be able to create a new account using the same identity or payment details. Self-exclusion takes effect within minutes of your request and is the most robust tool available for players experiencing serious difficulty.
Activity Statements
Request a full history of your gaming activity, including total amounts wagered, net wins and losses, session durations, and deposit totals over any time period. Reviewing your activity statement regularly is one of the most effective ways to stay aware of your actual gaming behaviour rather than relying on memory or perception. Statements are available on-demand through account settings.
Reality Check Notifications
Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that appear during your gaming session at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each notification displays your current session duration and net result, giving you a grounded view of your activity at regular intervals. These gentle reminders are designed to keep your perspective clear and support informed, deliberate decisions about whether to continue playing.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious to the person experiencing it. The following behaviours may indicate that gambling has moved beyond healthy entertainment and is causing harm. If you recognise several of these patterns in yourself or someone you care about, please reach out for help without delay.
⚠️ Warning Signs to Watch For
Spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended, and feeling unable to stop even when you decide to.
Chasing losses — increasing bet sizes or continuing to play in an attempt to recover money already lost.
Gambling with money that was intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, transport, or household bills.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling, or when attempting to reduce or stop gambling activity.
Borrowing money from family, friends, or financial institutions specifically to fund gambling activity.
Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the extent of your gambling or concealing losses.
Gambling interfering with work, study, relationships, or daily responsibilities.
Using gambling as a primary way to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, or depression.
Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun
The vast majority of players on 22bb enjoy gaming as a relaxing recreational activity with no adverse effects. Keeping it that way is straightforward when you follow a few clear principles consistently.
Set a Fixed Budget Before You Play
Decide in advance the exact amount you are comfortable spending on gaming this session, week, or month. Treat it as an entertainment expense — like a movie ticket or a dinner out — and accept that you may not get it back.
Set Time Limits and Take Regular Breaks
Use the Session Time Limit tool in your account settings to cap each gaming session. Take a break at least every 60 minutes — stand up, hydrate, and do something unrelated to gaming before deciding whether to continue.
Never Chase Your Losses
Losses are part of gambling. If you hit your budget limit, stop — do not increase stakes or make additional deposits to try to win it back. Chasing losses is the single most common path to serious gambling problems.
Only Gamble When You Are in a Good Headspace
Avoid gaming when you are stressed, tired, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Decisions made in these states are rarely the decisions you would make with a clear head, and they tend to lead to overspending.
Keep Gaming in Balance With Other Activities
Make sure gaming is just one of many leisure activities in your life, not the primary one. Healthy social connections, physical activity, hobbies, and work or study commitments should all take priority over gaming time.
Use Your Account Tools Proactively
Do not wait until gambling becomes a problem before using deposit limits, session limits, or reality checks. Set these up from day one and review them regularly to make sure they still reflect your current situation and goals.
Activating Your Protection Tools
All responsible gaming tools are available directly within your 22bb account. Here is how to access and activate them in just a few steps.

Need Help Activating a Tool?
If you are having difficulty accessing or activating any responsible gaming tool through your account settings, contact our support team at [email protected] and a team member will assist you immediately. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all Bangladesh public holidays (BST, UTC+6).
Underage Access Prevention
22bb takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. We apply age verification checks at the point of registration and may request additional proof of age documentation before processing any withdrawal. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be closed immediately and all funds held in that account will be forfeited.
If you share a device or computer with family members, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls and password-protecting your 22bb account to prevent accidental or intentional access by minors in your household. Never share your login credentials with anyone, including family members.
If you suspect that a minor has gained access to a 22bb account — whether your own or another's — please report this to us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take action without delay.
Strictly No Access for Under-21s
It is a violation of 22bb's Terms & Conditions — and may be a violation of applicable law — for any person under the age of 21 to register an account, make a deposit, or place a wager on the 22bb platform. 22bb reserves the right to take legal action in cases of deliberate age misrepresentation.
🖥️ Recommended Parental Control Tools
The following types of tools can help parents and guardians prevent underage access to gambling websites. We recommend researching and installing a solution appropriate for your household devices and operating systems.
Browser-Level Filters
Block specific category of sites including gambling from within the browser settings or family safety panel.
Password Protection
Use a strong, unique password on your 22bb account and do not save it in any browser profile accessible to minors.
Device Parental Controls
Android and iOS both offer built-in parental controls and screen time management features at the OS level.
Third-Party Safety Apps
Dedicated family safety applications provide robust content filtering, usage reports, and remote management options.
You Are Not Alone — Help Is Available
If gambling is causing problems in your life — financial, emotional, or relationship-related — please reach out. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Support is available to you and to the people who care about you.
22bb Support Team
Our in-house support team is available around the clock to assist with responsible gaming tools, account restrictions, self-exclusion requests, and any concerns you have about your gaming behaviour. Reach us any time — no judgement, no pressure.
[email protected]Talk to Someone You Trust
Sometimes the most important first step is simply telling a family member or close friend that gambling has become a concern. Talking openly about the problem — rather than hiding it — dramatically improves recovery outcomes. You do not have to manage this alone.
If you are in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, or anywhere else in Bangladesh and feel that your gambling is out of control, please speak to someone today. Your family and friends want to support you — let them.
Self-Assessment Resources
Not sure whether your gaming has become a problem? A structured self-assessment can help you reflect clearly on your behaviour. Consider these questions honestly:
- Do you spend more than you planned to on gambling?
- Do you feel the need to gamble with larger amounts over time?
- Have you tried to cut back and found it difficult?
- Has gambling caused financial or relationship problems?
- Do you gamble to escape worry, stress, or unhappiness?
If you answered yes to two or more of these, please contact our support team or activate a self-exclusion today.
