Responsible Gaming
at 299db
At 299db, we believe that entertainment should never come at the cost of your wellbeing. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, information, and support needed to stay in control — every session, every time.
Our Commitment to
Safe Play
299db was built with the belief that a sustainable, enjoyable gambling experience is only possible when player safety sits at the foundation of every decision we make. We operate exclusively for adults aged 21 and above in Bangladesh, and we actively invest in the technology, policies, and people needed to make responsible gaming a lived reality — not just a checkbox.
We understand that problem gambling is a genuine public health concern, and that the nature of online platforms can make it harder to recognise when play has shifted from leisure to compulsion. That is why 299db provides a comprehensive suite of player-protection tools that are always available, always free, and never require justification to activate.
Whether you want to set a simple deposit limit to manage your monthly budget, take a short cooling-off break, or permanently close your account, every option is available directly through your 299db account settings. You are always in control.
Player Protection Tools
299db provides a full set of account controls to help you manage your gambling activity. Every tool below is available instantly through your account settings, at no cost.
How to Activate
Your Safety Tools
All responsible gaming tools at 299db are built directly into your account settings — no need to contact support to get started. Here is how to access them in four simple steps.
Visit 299db.io and sign in with your registered mobile number and password. If you have forgotten your password, use the account recovery option on the login page to regain access before proceeding.
Click on your account avatar or username in the top-right corner of the screen to open the account menu. Select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu to access your full account management panel.
Within Account Settings, locate the "Responsible Gaming" tab. This section gives you access to all available player-protection tools: deposit limits, session time limits, reality check alerts, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion.
Select the tool you wish to activate, set your preferred parameters, and confirm. Changes that restrict your play (reducing limits, activating cooling-off, initiating self-exclusion) take effect immediately. Changes that loosen restrictions require a mandatory review delay of at least 48 hours.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, experience, or intent. Many players develop unhealthy habits gradually, without noticing the shift. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward taking back control.
Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following describe your recent experience with gambling:
Quick Self-Assessment
The following questions are based on widely recognised responsible gambling assessment frameworks. They are provided for personal reflection only — not as a clinical diagnosis. Read each question and answer honestly for yourself.

Bangladesh's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) provides counselling and referral services for individuals experiencing gambling-related distress. Speak to a qualified professional in a confidential setting.
Peer support networks in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other major cities provide safe, non-judgmental environments for individuals and families affected by problem gambling. Community support is one of the most effective recovery tools available.
Kaan Pete Roi is Bangladesh's leading emotional support helpline, staffed by trained volunteers who provide empathetic listening for individuals experiencing distress, including gambling-related anxiety or depression. All calls are confidential.
Protecting Other People in Your Household
If you share a device or home network with family members — particularly children or younger adults — 299db strongly recommends using parental-control and content-filtering software to prevent access to gambling websites. Freely available tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in parental controls on Android and iOS devices can be configured to block gambling content at the network or device level.
Equally important: never share your 299db login credentials with another person. Your account is personal and the responsibility for activity on your account rests with you as the registered account holder. If you believe that another person has accessed your account without your permission, contact our support team immediately so that we can secure your account and investigate.
Responsible Gambling During Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and Festive Periods
Festive and holiday periods — including Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha, Pohela Boishakh, Durga Puja, and public holidays such as Victory Day and Independence Day — are times when many players spend more time at home and may be more susceptible to extended gambling sessions. 299db encourages all players to set pre-emptive session time limits and deposit limits before festive periods begin, and to prioritise time with family and community over gambling activity during these occasions.
Promotional bonuses and special offers from 299db during festive periods are always subject to the same responsible gaming terms as regular promotions. No promotional mechanic will ever require you to gamble beyond a level that is comfortable for you in order to claim a reward.
Financial Safety Tips for 299db Players
Managing your gambling finances carefully is one of the most practical steps you can take toward sustainable play. Here are some straightforward guidelines that 299db recommends to all players in Bangladesh:
- Decide on a fixed gambling budget — an amount you are genuinely comfortable losing entirely — before you log in, and never exceed it.
- Use a dedicated bKash, Nagad, or Rocket mobile wallet for gambling transactions, kept separate from your everyday finances and funded only with your pre-agreed budget.
- Never chase losses. Losses are a normal and expected part of gambling; chasing them almost always results in larger losses and greater distress.
- Treat gambling winnings as a bonus, not as reliable income. Do not make financial plans that depend on gambling winnings.
- Take regular breaks. Stand up, drink water, step outside. Physical breaks interrupt the psychological momentum that can lead to extended sessions.
- Review your transaction history in your 299db account at the end of every month. Seeing the actual numbers in black and white is more informative than relying on your memory of individual sessions.
Play Smart. Stay in Control.
Responsible gaming is not about playing less — it is about playing well. Set your limits, know your boundaries, and enjoy everything 299db has to offer within a framework that keeps you safe. Our team is here for you 24/7.
