Our Commitment

Gambling Should Always Be a Choice, Not a Compulsion

299k is one of Bangladesh's most trusted online betting and casino platforms, and with that trust comes a deep responsibility to protect our players. We recognise that while the vast majority of our users enjoy cricket betting, live casino sessions, and slot games as a recreational pastime, a small number of individuals may develop problematic gambling behaviours over time. This page exists to help every 299k player — whether they are a casual BPL season bettor from Dhaka or a regular live casino player from Chittagong — understand the tools available to them and the warning signs to watch for.

Responsible gaming at 299k is not a checkbox. It is an active, ongoing commitment embedded into the design of our platform. From the moment you register to every deposit you make and every game session you start, our systems are working in the background to surface helpful information, flag unusual patterns, and ensure that playing at 299k remains a positive experience.

Gambling is entertainment — it is not a reliable income source. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. Never chase losses. Never gamble to escape emotional difficulties. These principles are the foundation of our responsible gaming approach, and we ask every 299k player to reflect on them regularly — especially during high-energy seasons like the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), IPL, or T20 World Cup tournaments when the temptation to bet larger amounts can intensify.

If at any point you feel that your gambling is becoming more than entertainment, 299k provides immediate, confidential support. Our responsible gaming team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and all interactions are handled with complete discretion. You will never be judged for asking for help at 299k.

Quick access: To activate deposit limits, time-out periods, or self-exclusion on your 299k account, contact our support team at support at 299k dot io. All responsible gaming requests are processed within 24 hours, and self-exclusion requests take effect immediately.

21+

Adults Only — Strictly 21 and Above

299k enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all registered users. We verify age during the KYC process using government-issued ID documents. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 is immediately suspended and all funds are returned. If you are under 21, please leave the platform now.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
  • Betting more than you can afford to lose
  • Chasing losses to try to break even
  • Neglecting work, family, or social commitments
  • Borrowing money to fund gambling
  • Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling
  • Lying to others about how much you gamble
  • Using gambling to cope with stress or sadness
  • Unable to stop even when you want to

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out to the 299k responsible gaming team immediately at support at 299k dot io. You can also request a temporary account suspension at any time — no questions asked.

Player Protection Tools

Six Tools to Keep Your Gaming Under Control

299k provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming controls that every registered player can access at any time. These tools are free, confidential, and designed to give you full authority over how you engage with the platform.

Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 299k account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Deposit limits can be lowered immediately and increased only after a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period — protecting you from impulsive decisions. Limits can be set in Bangladeshi Taka (e.g., ৳5,000 per day or ৳20,000 per week).
Immediate effect
Wagering Limits
In addition to deposit caps, you can set a maximum wagering amount per session, per day, or per week. This prevents any single betting session from escalating beyond a pre-agreed threshold, regardless of your available balance. Wagering limits are particularly recommended for players who enjoy high-frequency games such as slots or live casino tables.
Available on request
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for any single gaming session. When your time limit is reached, you will receive a clear notification and the platform will prompt you to take a break. Session time reminders can be set in 30-minute intervals, and you can request that a hard stop be applied to your account so the session ends automatically when the limit is hit.
Configurable per session
Cool-Off / Time-Out
Take a structured break from 299k for a short period — available in 24-hour, 72-hour, 7-day, 14-day, or 30-day durations. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, place bets, or access any games. Your account and balance are preserved. This tool is ideal for players who feel they need a short reset rather than a permanent solution.
Takes effect immediately
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is genuinely harming your well-being, finances, or relationships, self-exclusion allows you to close your 299k account for an extended period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully disabled and you will be blocked from re-registering. Self-exclusion is irreversible for its selected duration and cannot be lifted early under any circumstances.
Permanent protection available
Reality Checks
Enable periodic on-screen reality check notifications that display how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered in the current session, and your net win or loss position. Reality checks appear at intervals you choose (every 15, 30, or 60 minutes) and prompt you to decide whether to continue or end the session. They are a powerful, lightweight tool for maintaining gaming awareness.
Configurable interval

Self-Assessment

How Healthy Is Your Relationship With Gambling?

Take a moment to honestly consider the following questions. There are no right or wrong answers — this self-assessment is for your personal reflection only and is not recorded by 299k.

Answer honestly: In the past 30 days, have you…

  1. 1Spent more money gambling than you originally planned for that session?
  2. 2Returned to gamble another day in order to win back money you had lost?
  3. 3Felt restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to cut down or stop gambling?
  4. 4Gambled as a way to escape worries, stress, family problems, or low mood?
  5. 5Lied to a family member, friend, or colleague about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?
  6. 6Borrowed money from family or friends, or sold personal belongings, to fund gambling?
  7. 7Felt that you needed to bet with increasingly large amounts of money to feel the same level of excitement?
  8. 8Made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling?
Interpreting your answers: If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, your gambling behaviour may be moving beyond recreational. We strongly encourage you to use one of the 299k responsible gaming tools above, or to contact our support team for a confidential conversation. You can also reach out to a professional support organisation. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Minors & Vulnerable Players

Protecting Young People and Vulnerable Individuals

299k operates a zero-tolerance policy regarding underage gambling. The platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. Every new account goes through a Know Your Customer (KYC) process that requires submission of a valid government-issued ID — National Identity Card, passport, or driving licence — and date of birth verification before any real-money activity is permitted.

If you share a device with family members, including younger siblings or children, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls to prevent access to gambling websites. If you suspect that a minor is using or has accessed a 299k account, please contact us immediately at support at 299k dot io — we will act swiftly to suspend the account and return any funds.

We also recognise that some adult players may be experiencing personal vulnerabilities — bereavement, financial hardship, mental health difficulties, relationship breakdown — that can increase susceptibility to harmful gambling. If you are going through a difficult period, we encourage you to take a break from gambling entirely and to seek support from qualified professionals. Our responsible gaming team can signpost you to appropriate resources.

For parents and guardians: If you are concerned about a family member's gambling habits — whether at 299k or elsewhere — please contact our support team. We will provide guidance on account access controls and, where appropriate, assist with account suspension at the request of the account holder or a verified next-of-kin in cases of vulnerability.

Bangladesh context: We understand that gambling discussions can carry social and cultural sensitivity in Bangladesh. All responsible gaming communications from 299k are completely confidential. We do not share your responsible gaming interactions with third parties, family members, or employers. Your privacy is protected under our Privacy Policy.
