Player Safety & Wellbeing
Responsible Gaming at 44bd — Because Your Wellbeing Comes First
44bd is built on the belief that gambling should be entertaining, not distressing. This page outlines the tools, resources, and safeguards 44bd provides to keep every player in Bangladesh in control of their gaming experience.
Our Commitment
Gambling Is Entertainment.
We Intend to Keep It That Way.
At 44bd, we take responsible gaming seriously — not as a legal checkbox, but as a genuine obligation to every player who trusts us with their time and money. The vast majority of people who enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and slots on 44bd do so without any difficulty. They set budgets, play within their means, and treat it as a form of leisure alongside Eid celebrations, BPL matchdays, and everything else life in Bangladesh has to offer.
However, we acknowledge that for a small number of people, gambling can shift from entertainment into a pattern that causes real harm. 44bd is committed to identifying those situations early, providing effective tools to help players regain control, and ensuring that nobody on our platform is left without a clear path to support.
This page explains every protective measure available on 44bd, how to use them, and where to turn if you feel that gambling — on 44bd or anywhere else — is beginning to affect your finances, relationships, or mental health. All support on 44bd is delivered in English and is available around the clock.
Player Protection Tools
Six Tools That Keep You in Control
Every tool listed below is available free of charge to all registered 44bd players. To activate any of them, contact our support team at [email protected] or via live chat inside your account.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit cap on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, the Platform will decline further deposits until the period resets. Limits can be lowered instantly, but increases take 7 days to come into effect — giving you time to reconsider.
Session Time Limits
Define the maximum number of hours you want to spend on 44bd in a single session or across a day. When your limit is reached, you will receive a notification and the system will prompt you to log out. This is one of the most effective ways to prevent extended play sessions.
Reality Checks
Schedule regular on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing and your net position (total deposited vs total withdrawn) during the current session. These pop-up prompts break the flow of play and encourage you to assess whether you want to continue.
Time-Out Period
Take a short break from 44bd by requesting a time-out of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out your account remains open but you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Withdrawals of existing balances can still be processed during a time-out.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your 44bd account for a minimum period of 6 months, up to 5 years or permanently. All marketing communications are stopped immediately. During self-exclusion, you cannot re-register on 44bd under a new account — this restriction is enforced at the platform level.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, you may set a net loss ceiling — the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a defined period. Once your net losses hit that ceiling, betting and casino gameplay is suspended for the remainder of the period. This tool is particularly useful during high-stakes sports events like the BPL, IPL, or ICC T20 World Cup.
Step-by-Step
How to Activate a Responsible Gaming Tool
Activating any protective tool on 44bd takes only a few minutes. The process is designed to be straightforward so that no player faces unnecessary barriers when they decide to set limits on their play.
Log In to Your 44bd Account
Access your account using your registered credentials at 44bd.im. All responsible gaming tools are available from within your logged-in account dashboard.
Navigate to Account Settings
Go to your Account Settings and look for the "Responsible Gaming" section. Here you will find all limit and exclusion options listed clearly in English.
Choose Your Tool and Set Your Parameters
Select the tool you want to activate — deposit limit, session limit, time-out, or self-exclusion — and enter your chosen values. You will be asked to confirm your selection before it takes effect.
Contact Support if You Need Help
If you experience any difficulty activating a tool, or if you want to request self-exclusion immediately, contact our support team directly at [email protected]. All requests are actioned within 48 hours at the latest, with most completed same-day.
Self-Exclusion Details
Understanding Self-Exclusion at 44bd
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protective measure available to 44bd players. It is designed for players who recognise that their gambling has become difficult to manage and who want a firm, platform-enforced barrier between themselves and further play.
Important: Self-exclusion on 44bd is permanent for the duration of your chosen exclusion period. It cannot be reversed early, regardless of your reason. This is intentional — the cooling-off period exists precisely because impulsive decisions to resume play are common among people managing gambling-related difficulties.
What Happens When You Self-Exclude
- Account access is suspended for the full duration of your exclusion period.
- All promotional and marketing emails are stopped immediately upon confirmation.
- Any pending withdrawals of your existing balance will still be processed.
- Re-registration is blocked — 44bd will not allow you to open a new account during your exclusion period.
- Exclusion periods available: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent.
To request self-exclusion, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and include your registered username and preferred exclusion period. Our team will confirm the exclusion by return email and action it within 48 hours. Email addresses on this page are displayed as plain text — please copy the address manually into your email client.
After Your Exclusion Period Ends
When a fixed-term self-exclusion period expires, your account will not automatically reactivate. You must contact [email protected] to request reinstatement, and a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period applies before access is restored. During that window, 44bd encourages you to reflect on whether returning to play is the right choice for you at that time.
Know the Signs
Warning Signs That Gambling May Be Becoming a Problem
Problem gambling rarely announces itself suddenly. It tends to develop gradually, often alongside increasing stress, financial pressure, or personal difficulties. The following signs — in yourself or someone you care about — may indicate that gambling has moved beyond entertainment into something more concerning.
- Chasing losses — placing further bets to try to recover money lost in previous sessions rather than accepting the loss and stopping.
- Gambling with money intended for essentials — using funds allocated for rent, utilities, food, or family obligations to fund betting or casino play.
- Inability to stop — continuing to play past your intended stopping point repeatedly, even when you intended to quit after a specific session length or loss amount.
- Concealing gambling activity — hiding deposits, withdrawal activity, or the amount of time spent gambling from family members or close friends.
- Borrowing money to gamble — taking loans, requesting advances, or borrowing from family to fund gambling activity.
- Irritability when not gambling — feeling restless, anxious, or irritable during periods when you are not playing, and gambling as a way to relieve those feelings.
- Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, family events, or social commitments because of time spent gambling or recovering from gambling-related stress.
- Increasing bet sizes over time — needing to place progressively larger bets to feel the same level of excitement that smaller wagers previously provided.
Self-Assessment
Ask Yourself These Questions
If you are unsure whether your gambling is becoming problematic, working through the questions below honestly can help you assess your current relationship with gaming. There are no right or wrong answers — this is a private reflection for your own benefit.
Have you ever gambled with money you could not afford to lose — money earmarked for bills, groceries, or family needs?
Have you ever lied to a family member or close friend about how much time or money you have spent gambling?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently when you are doing other things — at work, at home, or during family time?
Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling on your own and found it difficult or impossible to follow through?
Do you gamble as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult situations in your personal or professional life?
After a loss, do you feel a strong urge to return to gambling as soon as possible to win back what you lost?
Has gambling ever put a significant strain on your finances, your relationships, or your mental health?
If you answered yes to two or more of the questions above, we strongly encourage you to use one of 44bd's self-management tools — a deposit limit, time-out, or self-exclusion — and to consider reaching out to our support team for guidance. Contact us at [email protected].
Age Policy
21+ Only — Protecting Young People in Bangladesh
44bd enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players across Bangladesh. This requirement applies regardless of the type of activity — sports betting, live casino, slots, or any other game available on the platform. No exceptions are made.
How 44bd Verifies Age
During the account registration process, all new players are required to confirm that they are 21 years of age or older. 44bd also conducts Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification checks, during which players are asked to submit a government-issued identity document — such as a National ID card or passport — that confirms their date of birth.
Accounts where age cannot be confirmed to the satisfaction of 44bd's verification team will be suspended until valid documentation is provided. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be permanently closed, all funds will be refunded to the original payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank account), and the registration details will be flagged to prevent re-registration.
Protecting Young People at Home
If you share a device with younger family members, 44bd recommends the following practical steps to prevent underage access to the Platform:
- Always log out of your 44bd account when you finish a session, rather than leaving yourself logged in on a shared device.
- Use a strong, unique password for your 44bd account that is not shared with or accessible to minors in your household.
- Consider parental control software if you have children at home who use the same device. Tools such as Net Nanny or similar applications can block access to gambling platforms at the device level.
- Do not allow others to use your account — sharing account access is a violation of the 44bd Terms & Conditions and may result in account suspension.
If you believe a minor has registered or is using a 44bd account, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with the subject line "Underage Report". We treat all such reports as a matter of the highest priority and will investigate within 24 hours.
