Core concepts

What does responsible gaming actually mean?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming purely as entertainment — never as a source of income or a way to solve problems. It means knowing your limits and finding enjoyment within them.

299b believes every person is in control of their own life. We never want our platform to be a source of financial or emotional harm to anyone. That's why we offer a range of tools and services at no cost — to help you play in a healthy, balanced way.

Remember: chasing losses by placing bigger bets is the biggest mistake you can make in gaming. That's exactly where problems begin. Responsible gaming means recognizing that trap — and knowing when to stop.

Gaming is a leisure expense — just like going to the cinema or eating out. That money may not come back, so never play with more than you can comfortably afford to lose.

Protective Tools

299b's responsible gaming tools

These tools are built for you — completely free and always available

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is set, increasing it requires a 72-hour wait — but lowering it takes effect instantly.

Session Time Limit

Decide in advance the maximum time you'll play each day or per session. You'll receive an automatic reminder when your time is up.

Cooling-off period

Take a temporary break — anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this period, your account will be completely inactive and you won't be able to log in.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gaming is getting out of control — self-exclude for 1 month to 5 years, or permanently. Takes effect within 30 minutes.

Reality reminder

Receive a message every 30 minutes or every hour — a summary of how long you've been playing and how much you've lost. This keeps you informed and in control.

Loss Limit

Betting stops automatically once you've reached your set loss amount. Protect your budget the smart way.

Interactive tools

Calculate your gaming budget

Before you start gaming, ask yourself — what's the most I can afford to lose this month without affecting my household or my peace of mind? That amount is your budget.

A general rule of thumb: spend no more than 10–15% of your monthly entertainment budget on gaming. Enter your monthly income in the simulator to see where your limit should be.

Never bet money that would genuinely hurt to lose — electricity bills, food expenses, your child's education fund. That money is off limits.

📊 Monthly Budget Simulator
Select your monthly income
Monthly income ৳20,000
Entertainment budget (15%) ৳3,000
Recommended maximum gaming budget
৳3,000
Per month — no more than that
Remember: even if you lose this amount, your everyday life should continue as normal.

Healthy gaming tips

Tips for healthy gameplay

Stick to these simple habits and gaming will stay what it should be — genuine entertainment, not a problem.

Responsible gaming doesn't mean giving up gaming. It means playing smart. Just like you settle in to watch a cricket match thinking "I'm here to enjoy this" — decide before you start gaming how much you'll play.

Gaming is enjoyable when you play with intention. When you play out of emotion or frustration after a loss, that's when problems begin.

Decide before you start — set a maximum amount you're willing to spend this week or month. Once that limit is reached, stop — win or lose. This one rule makes all the difference.

Set an alarm on your phone or watch. Say you plan to play for 1 hour — when the alarm goes off, stop. Without tracking time, it's surprisingly easy to lose track of how long you've been playing.

Betting out of anger, frustration, or anxiety after a loss almost always leads to losing even more. If you're feeling worked up, step away — go for a short walk, have some water — then make decisions with a clear head.

After a big win, the urge to keep going is completely natural. But that's exactly the right moment to stop. Be happy with what you've won today — save it for tomorrow.

Let a family member or trusted friend know that you enjoy gaming. Keeping it hidden makes problems worse. Being open means your loved ones can spot warning signs early.

Keep up hobbies alongside gaming — reading, sports, spending time with family. Having multiple sources of enjoyment in life reduces dependence on gaming.
