Our Commitment

Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment

At 22bd, we take our responsibility to players seriously. Gambling is designed to be an enjoyable pastime — a way to engage with the cricket matches you love, test your skill at video poker, or experience the thrill of live casino games. It should never become a source of stress, financial harm, or emotional difficulty.

We recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can become problematic. 22bd has built a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform so that every player — whether they are a casual weekend bettor in Dhaka or a regular cricket punter from Chittagong — has practical, accessible means to manage their gambling habits at any time.

These tools are not buried in settings. They are prominent, easy to use, and take effect immediately upon request. If you feel that your gambling is no longer within your control, we encourage you to use these tools or contact our support team at once.

Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly . It tends to develop gradually. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond healthy entertainment and is becoming a problem worth addressing.

Ask Yourself These Questions Honestly

1
Are you spending more than you planned?
Consistently depositing beyond your original budget — or chasing losses with larger bets — is one of the earliest and most reliable indicators of problematic gambling behaviour.
2
Do you gamble to escape stress or negative feelings?
Using gambling as a primary coping mechanism for anxiety, boredom, loneliness, or financial pressure can accelerate the development of dependency and make losses harder to accept.
3
Have you lied about how much you gamble?
Concealing gambling activity or losses from family members in Dhaka, Sylhet, or elsewhere in Bangladesh suggests awareness that the behaviour has exceeded acceptable boundaries.
4
Do you chase losses?
Placing bigger bets immediately after a loss in an attempt to recover money quickly is a high-risk pattern that frequently leads to larger financial losses in a short period of time.
5
Has gambling affected your work, studies, or relationships?
When gambling begins to interfere with professional responsibilities, academic performance, or personal relationships, it has clearly moved outside the boundaries of healthy entertainment.
6
Do you feel unable to stop, even when you want to?
A persistent inability to stop gambling despite a genuine desire to do so is a clear sign that professional support — and 22bd's self-exclusion tools — should be used without delay.

If You Answered Yes to Any of the Above

You do not need to wait until gambling becomes a crisis. Contact 22bd support immediately to activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion. Acting early makes recovery significantly easier.

Concerned About Someone Else?

If you believe a family member or friend is experiencing gambling-related harm, encourage them to contact 22bd support directly. We treat all such enquiries with complete discretion and compassion.

Emergency Support Line

Our responsible gaming team is available 24/7. Reach us via live chat on the platform or email [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Help".

Player Tools

Responsible Gaming Tools on 22bd

Every registered 22bd player has access to the following tools, available directly within their account settings. All tools take effect immediately and can be activated by contacting support if you are unable to access settings.

Financial Control

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the limit period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 7-day cooling-off period before activation.

Example Limits
Daily: ৳500 – ৳50,000  |  Weekly: ৳1,000 – ৳200,000
Financial Control

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set time period. When your net losses reach this threshold, 22bd will automatically suspend further betting activity for the remainder of the limit period. Loss limits are one of the most effective tools for preventing financial harm.

Applies To
All bets: sports, cricket, casino, slots, video poker
Time Control

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your session time is reached, you will receive an on-screen notification and your session will end automatically, logging you out of the 22bd platform. You can set session limits from as short as 30 minutes up to 8 hours.

Session Range
30 minutes minimum  |  8 hours maximum
Temporary Pause

Time-Out / Cooling-Off Period

Take a structured break from the 22bd platform for a defined period — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During a time-out, your account will be suspended: you cannot log in, deposit, bet, or access any game. All scheduled withdrawals of existing balances will still be processed normally.

Time-Out Options
24 hours  |  7 days  |  30 days  |  90 days
Permanent Exclusion

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion permanently closes your 22bd account for a minimum period of 6 months, with options for 1 year, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, 22bd will also suppress all marketing communications to your registered contact details. This is the strongest tool available for players who feel they cannot control their gambling.

Exclusion Periods
6 months  |  1 year  |  5 years  |  Permanent
Awareness Tool

Reality Check Notifications

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing in the current session and your net win/loss position. Reality check notifications are sent at intervals you choose — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — and prompt you to decide consciously whether to continue or end your session.

Check Intervals
Every 15 min  |  30 min  |  60 min
Age Verification

Strictly 21+ — No Exceptions

22bd enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players. This applies to everyone across Bangladesh — whether you are based in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, or Cox's Bazar.

Every player is required to complete identity verification (KYC) using a valid government-issued National Identity Card (NID) or passport before they can make any deposit or place any bet. Age verification is not optional — it is a mandatory step in the account activation process.

If 22bd has any reason to believe that a registered player may be under 21 years of age, the account will be suspended immediately pending investigation. Any funds held in the account will be frozen until the matter is resolved.

21+ Age Enforcement NID Verification Required

How 22bd Verifies Player Age

Step 1 — Registration
Date of Birth Submission
Players enter their date of birth during the initial account registration process. The platform automatically rejects registrations where the stated date of birth indicates the applicant is under 21 years of age.
Step 2 — KYC Upload
Government ID Submission
Players are required to upload a clear photograph or scan of a valid Bangladeshi National Identity Card (NID) or passport. The document must clearly show the player's full name, photograph, and date of birth.
Step 3 — Verification Review
Identity and Age Confirmation
22bd's KYC team reviews the submitted document to confirm that the player's stated identity matches the document and that the player is aged 21 or above. Suspicious documents are escalated for additional review.
Step 4 — Account Activation
Full Platform Access Granted
Once KYC verification is successfully completed and age is confirmed, the player gains full access to deposits, betting, and all 22bd platform features. Players who fail age verification are permanently barred from the platform.

What Happens When You Request Self-Exclusion

There is no waiting period — self-exclusion takes effect on the same day as your request.

Core Principles

The 22bd Responsible Gaming Charter

These six principles define how 22bd approaches player protection across every aspect of the platform.

Player Protection First

Every product decision at 22bd is evaluated against its potential impact on player welfare. Features that could encourage excessive gambling are reviewed carefully before launch. Player protection is not a compliance exercise — it is a core product value.

Transparent Odds and RTP

22bd publishes the Return to Player (RTP) percentages for all slot and casino games. Betting odds on sports and cricket markets are updated in real time and reflect fair market prices. Players are never misled about their statistical chances of winning.

No Targeting of Vulnerable Players

22bd does not send promotional communications to players who have requested self-exclusion, activated a time-out, or shown behavioural patterns consistent with problem gambling. Bonus offers are never designed to encourage loss-chasing or financially harmful play.

Strict Under-21 Exclusion

22bd enforces mandatory KYC age verification for all players. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 years of age are permanently closed with no exceptions. This policy applies to all players regardless of location within Bangladesh.

Ongoing Staff Training

All 22bd customer support staff undergo regular training in responsible gaming identification and intervention. Team members are equipped to recognise signs of problem gambling in player communications and are empowered to proactively offer support resources.

Continuous Policy Review

22bd reviews its responsible gaming tools, policies, and player data on a regular basis to identify areas for improvement. This page and the associated platform features are updated whenever better practices become available or player feedback indicates a gap in our current approach.

Play Smart. Play Responsibly. Play with 22bd.
