Our Responsible Gaming Commitments

299bat has built a comprehensive set of player protection tools and policies so that every player across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and beyond can enjoy the platform safely and on their own terms.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps on your 299bat account at any time. Once a limit is active, it cannot be increased until a mandatory 24-hour cooling period has elapsed, keeping spending firmly within your budget.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gambling is affecting your wellbeing, you can request a full self-exclusion from 299bat. Exclusions are available for periods of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During exclusion, your account is fully suspended.

Time-Out Features

Need a short break without full self-exclusion? Our time-out feature allows you to pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Access is restored automatically once the chosen period expires.

Session Time Reminders

Enable on-screen session alerts to receive a notification after a set period of continuous play — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. These reminders prompt you to take a break and review your activity before continuing.

Loss Limits

Cap the maximum net loss you can sustain over a defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the loss limit is reached, further wagers are blocked for the remainder of the period, protecting your financial wellbeing.

Reality Check & Account History

Access a full, transparent history of your bets, deposits, withdrawals, and session durations at any time from your 299bat account dashboard. Informed players make better decisions — your data is always yours to review.

Important Notice: Gambling is intended solely as a form of entertainment and carries an inherent financial risk. If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties related to gambling, please make use of the tools and resources described on this page or contact the 299bat support team immediately. 299bat is a platform for adults aged 18 years and above only.

01

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At 299bat, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a foundational principle embedded into every aspect of how the platform is designed, operated, and improved. We are firmly committed to providing a safe, transparent, and fair entertainment environment for every player in Bangladesh, whether they are joining us from Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, or Cox's Bazar.

We understand that while the overwhelming majority of our players engage with 299bat casino games, slots, cricket betting, and other sports markets purely for enjoyment, a small number of individuals can develop habits that escalate beyond healthy entertainment. 299bat takes this reality seriously and has invested in a robust suite of player-protection tools that give every registered player direct, easy control over their own gambling behaviour.

The responsible gaming framework at 299bat encompasses deposit limits, loss limits, session time controls, time-out features, self-exclusion options, reality-check reminders, and access to professional support resources. All of these tools are available free of charge to every account holder at any time, and can be activated within the account settings panel on the 299bat platform.

All responsible gaming tools on the 299bat platform are self-service and take effect immediately upon activation. If you need assistance configuring any tool, our 24/7 support team is available via live chat or at [email protected] at any time, Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).

299bat also trains its customer support team to identify early behavioural indicators of problem gambling and to respond with empathy and appropriate signposting. Our team will never pressure any player to continue gambling, to reverse a self-exclusion request, or to remove a deposit limit before the mandatory reflection period has elapsed.

02

Age Policy — 18+ Only

18+
Strictly for Adults Aged 18 and Above

299bat enforces a strict minimum age policy. No person under the age of 18 years is permitted to register, deposit, wager, or access any real-money game or betting market on the 299bat platform. This policy is non-negotiable and enforced through identity verification on every account.

When you register a 299bat account, you are required to declare that you are 18 years of age or older. This declaration is legally binding under the terms of your agreement with 299bat. Prior to processing any withdrawal, and in any case where our compliance team identifies a risk of underage access, we will request a full Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification, which includes submission of a government-issued photo ID — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence — to confirm that the account holder meets the minimum age requirement.

If at any point 299bat determines or reasonably suspects that an account is being operated by or on behalf of a person under the age of 18, the account will be immediately suspended, all pending transactions will be placed on hold, and the matter will be escalated to our compliance team for investigation. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be handled strictly in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

For Parents and Guardians: If you share a device with younger family members and are concerned about their access to gambling content, we strongly recommend installing parental control or web-filtering software. Products such as Net Nanny, Kaspersky Safe Kids, and similar applications can restrict access to gambling websites at the device level, providing an additional layer of protection beyond our own platform controls.

03

Player Protection Tools

299bat provides a comprehensive set of player protection tools that you can activate, adjust, or review at any time from within your account dashboard. These tools are designed to put you firmly in control of your gambling activity. Below is a detailed overview of each available tool:

Deposit Limit Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Decreases take effect immediately; increases require a mandatory 24-hour waiting period.
Loss Limit Define the maximum net loss you are willing to sustain per day, week, or month. When reached, further wagers are blocked for the remainder of the defined period.
Time-Out Temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is inaccessible during the chosen period and reactivates automatically upon expiry.
Self-Exclusion Request a full account suspension for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Cannot be reversed during the active exclusion period.
Session Reminder Receive an on-screen notification after 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours of continuous play, prompting you to review your session and consider taking a break.
Account Activity History View a complete record of all bets, deposits, withdrawals, session durations, and responsible gaming tool activations directly from your 299bat account dashboard.

To activate any of these tools, log into your 299bat account, navigate to the Responsible Gaming section within your account settings, and follow the on-screen instructions. All tools are self-service and take effect immediately unless otherwise stated above. If you encounter any difficulty, our support team is available 24/7 via live chat or at [email protected].

Recognising Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always immediately obvious — even to the person experiencing it. Being aware of the early warning signs is an important step toward maintaining healthy gambling habits. The accordion below outlines the most common behavioural and emotional indicators that gambling may be moving beyond recreational entertainment.

If you regularly deposit or wager amounts that exceed what you have budgeted for entertainment — or if gambling is eating into money set aside for rent, food, utility bills, or bKash/Nagad savings — this is a significant warning sign. Gambling should never compete with your essential financial responsibilities.

Chasing losses — placing increasingly large bets in an attempt to recover money lost in previous sessions — is one of the most widely recognised patterns of problem gambling. If you find yourself making decisions based on recovering prior losses rather than on the enjoyment of the activity itself, it is important to pause and reflect.

If you notice that your emotional state — anxiety, irritability, low mood, or restlessness — is closely tied to gambling outcomes, or if you turn to gambling as a way to escape stress, family problems, or difficult emotions, this is a sign that the activity may be filling a role beyond entertainment. Gambling cannot reliably improve your emotional state and may worsen underlying issues over time.

When gambling begins to affect your relationships with family members, friends, or colleagues — or when it starts to interfere with your professional responsibilities, attendance, or performance — it has crossed from leisure activity to problematic behaviour. Loved ones expressing concern about your gambling habits is also a meaningful signal worth taking seriously.

Hiding the extent of your gambling from family, friends, or a spouse is a clear indicator that you recognise, on some level, that the behaviour has exceeded comfortable boundaries. Secrecy around gambling activity — such as hiding deposits or downplaying the time spent playing — is a warning sign that should not be ignored.

If you have tried to reduce or stop gambling but found yourself unable to follow through — or if you feel a strong compulsion to return to gambling shortly after stopping — this suggests that a degree of dependency may have developed. This is the situation in which professional support and the responsible gaming tools available on 299bat are most important to engage with immediately.

Recognising one or more of these signs does not mean you have a severe problem — it means it is the right time to use the tools available to you. Activating a deposit limit or a time-out period is a positive, responsible step that demonstrates good judgement. Do not wait until the situation feels unmanageable before reaching out for support.

05

Self-Assessment Questionnaire

The following questions are intended to help you reflect honestly on your relationship with gambling. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool, but it can help you identify whether your gambling habits may benefit from a closer look. Answer each question honestly — this is for your own benefit and the results are entirely private.

Responsible Gaming Self-Assessment — 10 Questions
Q1 Have you ever spent more money gambling than you originally planned or could comfortably afford to lose?
Q2 Have you ever returned to gambling the day after a loss in order to try to recover that money?
Q3 Have you ever missed work, college, a family event, or an important responsibility because of time spent gambling?
Q4 Has anyone close to you — a partner, parent, friend, or colleague — ever expressed concern about how much you gamble?
Q5 Have you ever borrowed money, sold possessions, or used savings earmarked for other purposes in order to fund gambling?
Q6 Do you feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you try to cut back or stop gambling?
Q7 Have you ever gambled as a way to escape personal problems, feelings of stress, loneliness, or depression?
Q8 Have you ever concealed or downplayed the extent of your gambling from family members or a spouse?
Q9 Have you tried to stop or reduce your gambling on multiple occasions but found yourself unable to maintain that decision?
Q10 Do you find that you need to gamble with progressively larger amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement or engagement?

How to interpret your answers: If you answered "yes" to one or two of the above questions, we recommend making use of the deposit limit or session reminder tools available in your account settings. If you answered "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to activate a time-out or self-exclusion, and to contact the 299bat support team or one of the external support organisations listed in Section 7 of this page. There is no shame in seeking help — it is a sign of strength and good judgement.

Protecting Minors

299bat is unequivocally committed to preventing access to real-money gambling by anyone under the age of 18. This commitment is reflected in our registration process, our KYC verification requirements, and the ongoing monitoring carried out by our compliance team. We ask every adult player to play an active role in upholding this standard within their own household.

If you share a computer, smartphone, or tablet with children or younger family members, we strongly recommend taking the following practical steps to prevent unintended access to the 299bat platform:

  • Never save your 299bat login credentials in a shared browser. Always log out of your account after each session on a shared device.
  • Enable device-level parental controls. Both Android and iOS devices, as well as Windows and macOS computers, include built-in parental control settings that can restrict access to specific websites and categories of online content.
  • Install dedicated parental control software. Applications such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and Kaspersky Safe Kids provide robust filtering capabilities that can block gambling-related websites at the network or device level.
  • Talk to young people about responsible internet use. Open conversations about age-appropriate online activities are one of the most effective preventive measures available to parents and guardians.
  • Keep your account credentials private. Do not share your 299bat username, password, or account access with any other person, including family members.

If 299bat discovers or is notified that a minor has accessed the platform — whether through a parent's account or through a fraudulently registered account — the account will be immediately suspended. Any deposits made by a minor will be returned in full, minus any winnings generated, which will be forfeited. The matter will be referred to our compliance team and handled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions and applicable law.

07

Getting Help — External Support Resources

299bat encourages any player who believes their gambling habits may be causing harm — to themselves or to those around them — to seek professional support without delay. A number of organisations provide confidential, non-judgmental assistance to individuals experiencing gambling-related difficulties. While Bangladesh-specific dedicated gambling helplines are still emerging, the following types of support are available:

  • National Mental Health Helpline (Bangladesh): The Kaan Pete Roi helpline (16789) provides telephone-based emotional support and counselling for individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges — all of which can intersect with problem gambling.
  • Gamblers Anonymous: An international fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with one another in order to solve their common problem and help others recover. Meetings are available online and in many cities globally.
  • BeGambleAware: An internationally recognised organisation providing information, support, and referrals for people affected by problem gambling. Their resources are available in English at begambleaware.org.
  • GamCare: A leading provider of information, advice, and support for anyone affected by problem gambling. Free support is available via their website and helpline.
  • Your personal support network: Speaking openly with a trusted family member, friend, imam, pastor, or community leader is often the most immediate and accessible form of support available. Do not underestimate the value of honest conversation with those who know and care for you.

299bat's own responsible gaming support team is also available around the clock. Our agents are trained to assist with activating self-exclusion, setting account limits, providing information about external resources, and offering a compassionate, non-judgmental point of contact. Reaching out to our team carries no consequences for your account — it is simply the right thing to do if you need support.

All communications with 299bat's responsible gaming team regarding gambling concerns are treated with complete confidentiality. Your account information will not be shared with third parties except where required by law. We will never judge you for asking for help — we will simply do everything in our power to assist you.
