Responsible Gaming at 299b
Play Smart. Stay in Control.
299b is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable betting environment for all players in Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming tools are designed to keep you in control of your play — every step of the way.
Gaming Should Always Be Fun
At 299b, we believe that gambling is a form of entertainment — not a way to make money, solve financial problems, or escape everyday pressures. For the overwhelming majority of our players across Bangladesh, betting on cricket, spinning slots, or joining a live casino table is a fun and social activity enjoyed responsibly within personal means.
We recognise, however, that for a small number of individuals, gambling can become problematic. Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of age, background, or income level. It can strain relationships, finances, and mental health in ways that are difficult to reverse if left unaddressed for too long.
That is why 299b has embedded a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform. These tools are free to use, always accessible, and built to give you immediate, effective control over how you play. We also train our support team to identify signs of problem gambling and to respond with empathy and practical guidance.
This page sets out everything you need to know about responsible gaming at 299b — from the tools available to you, to the warning signs to watch for, to how to get help if you ever feel that gambling is no longer fun. Please read it carefully and share it with anyone you feel may benefit.
Age Verification Policy
All 299b accounts are subject to mandatory identity verification. Players must be 21 years of age or older to register, deposit, or place wagers on this platform. Age verification is carried out during account registration and at the KYC stage before any withdrawal is processed.
Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be closed immediately, all associated funds voided, and the matter reported as required. Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to use device-level parental controls to prevent minors from accessing online betting platforms.
Your Player Protection Toolkit
Every responsible gaming tool on the 299b platform is free to activate, takes effect immediately or within 24 hours, and cannot be reversed during any mandatory cooling-off period you have set.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the total amount you can deposit into your 299b account. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be reduced at any time; increases require a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before taking effect — giving you space to reconsider.
Session Time Limits
Define how long you want each gaming session to last. When your chosen time is up, the platform will alert you and, if you have configured a hard limit, log you out automatically. Time flies when you are betting — session limits help you stay grounded and aware of how long you have been playing.
Time-Out / Cooling-Off
Take a short break from the 299b platform without permanently closing your account. Choose a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The time-out cannot be cancelled once activated.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to block access to your 299b account for a minimum of 6 months or up to 5 years. Requests are processed within 24 hours. During the exclusion period, 299b will also suppress all marketing communications to ensure you are not tempted to return prematurely.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, you can set a maximum loss threshold for a given daily, weekly, or monthly period. If your net losses reach the cap you have defined, further betting is suspended for the remainder of that period — preventing a bad session from escalating into serious financial harm.
Activity Statements
Request a full statement of your betting activity, deposits, withdrawals, and net position over any period. Reviewing your own gambling history is one of the most powerful ways to maintain perspective and make informed decisions about your play. Activity statements are available from your account dashboard at any time.
How to Activate Your Tools
All responsible gaming tools at 299b are accessible directly from your account settings panel. You do not need to contact support to activate deposit limits, session timers, or time-outs — they are self-service and take effect immediately or within the timeframe specified below.
For self-exclusion requests, we recommend contacting our support team at [email protected] directly — this ensures the exclusion is processed promptly and that all marketing is suppressed without delay.

- When your limit is reached, the deposit function is disabled until the period resets at midnight Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).
- Limits apply across all payment methods — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank/card deposits are all counted together.
Session time limits define the maximum continuous duration of any single gaming session on 299b. Once the timer runs out, you will receive a pop-up reminder and, if a hard limit is set, be automatically logged out.
- Available durations: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours.

- The timer resets after each logout. It does not carry over between separate login sessions.

A time-out suspends your 299b account for a defined short period. It is designed for players who want a brief break without permanently closing their account.
- Available periods: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 30 days.
- Takes effect immediately upon confirmation — no waiting period.
- Cannot be cancelled, shortened, or overridden once activated.

- All marketing communications are paused for the duration of the time-out.
- Existing balance is preserved and accessible when the account reactivates after the time-out period expires.
Self-exclusion is the most robust player protection tool available on 299b. It permanently blocks access to your account for an extended period and is intended for players who feel their gambling has become a serious problem.
- Available periods: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent exclusion.
- Requests submitted via email to [email protected] are processed within 24 hours.
- During exclusion, the account is fully locked — login, deposit, withdrawal, and betting are all suspended.
- All promotional emails, SMS messages, and push notifications are immediately suppressed.
- Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the full period expires. After expiry, a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period applies before the account can be reactivated.
- Any balance remaining in the account at the time of self-exclusion will be refunded upon expiry of the exclusion period.
Loss limits cap the maximum net loss you can sustain on 299b over a specified period. Net loss is calculated as total wagers placed minus any winnings returned during the same period.
- Available periods: daily, weekly, monthly.
- Minimum loss limit: ৳1,000 per period.
- Once the loss threshold is reached, all betting and casino game access is suspended for the remainder of the period.
- Reductions take immediate effect; increases require a 7-day waiting period.
- Winnings above the loss limit can still be withdrawn — the limit does not cap your upside, only your downside.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognising problem gambling early is the most effective way to prevent serious harm. The following signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond entertainment and is becoming a problem. If you recognise any of these in yourself or someone you care about, please seek help immediately.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can comfortably afford to lose.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans specifically to fund gambling activity.
- Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets in an attempt to recover previous losses.
- Gambling for extended periods without taking breaks, eating, or sleeping properly.
- Hiding gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues out of shame or fear.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling, or when attempting to stop.
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, loneliness, boredom, grief, or other emotional difficulties.
- Neglecting work, family responsibilities, or personal health because of time or money spent on gambling.
- Repeatedly making unsuccessful attempts to cut down, control, or stop gambling despite wanting to.
- Thinking about gambling almost constantly — planning the next session, reliving past bets, calculating future stakes.
