Responsible Gaming at hb22
At hb22, we believe that betting and casino gaming should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal hardship. Our responsible gaming framework gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control at all times.
Gaming Should Always Feel Like Fun
hb22 is one of Bangladesh's leading online betting and casino platforms, and with that position comes a genuine responsibility to the players who trust us with their entertainment and their money. Responsible gaming is not an afterthought at hb22 — it is a core pillar of how we build and operate our platform. Every feature we design, every promotion we run, and every customer interaction we handle is governed by the principle that player welfare comes first.
Gambling, when approached as a recreational activity with clear boundaries, can be an enjoyable pastime. The problems arise when gambling crosses from entertainment into compulsion — when players chase losses, when bets are funded by money set aside for essential household expenses, or when the urge to gamble becomes difficult to resist even after deciding to stop. hb22 takes these risks seriously and has invested in a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools specifically designed to help players recognise those boundaries and act before a problem develops.
Our responsible gaming programme covers four key areas: prevention through robust age verification and player education; control through deposit limits, loss limits, wagering limits, and session time controls; intervention through cooling-off periods and self-exclusion; and support through 24/7 access to our trained customer support team and referrals to professional organisations that specialise in gambling-related harm. Players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and all other parts of Bangladesh can access every one of these tools directly from their hb22 account dashboard.
If at any point you feel that your gambling is no longer purely recreational — if it is causing you stress, affecting your relationships, or creating financial pressure — we urge you to use the tools described on this page immediately, or to contact our support team who are available around the clock to assist you without judgment. There is never any shame in asking for help, and hb22 will always treat responsible gaming requests with the utmost sensitivity and discretion.
Tools to Keep You in Control
Every hb22 player has immediate access to the following responsible gaming tools from within their account settings. All controls take effect within 24 hours of activation.
Set a maximum amount you are permitted to deposit into your hb22 account on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be decreased immediately but increases take 7 days to take effect — giving you time to reflect before raising your spending ceiling.
Cap the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given time period — daily, weekly, or monthly. When your net losses reach your chosen threshold, hb22 will automatically prevent further wagering for the remainder of that period. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing loss-chasing behaviour before it starts.
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session on hb22. When your session reaches the time limit you have set, you will receive a clear on-screen notification and be prompted to either continue consciously or log out. You can also enable mandatory session breaks that temporarily lock the platform between sessions to encourage natural pauses.
Take a structured break from hb22 for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in to your account, place bets, or make deposits. Any active promotional subscriptions are paused for the duration. You can request a cooling-off period instantly from your account settings or by contacting support.
If you feel you need a longer break from gambling, hb22 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Once self-exclusion is active, your account is locked, all marketing communications are stopped, and you cannot create a new hb22 account for the duration. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends.
Enable periodic pop-up notifications during your gaming sessions that display how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered in that session, and your net win or loss position. These reality check reminders appear at intervals you choose — every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes — to keep you fully aware of your activity at all times.
Our Responsible Gaming Commitments
Every hb22 account undergoes mandatory age verification before play is permitted. We use a combination of national ID document checks, date-of-birth validation, and independent identity verification services to ensure that only players aged 21 and above can access the platform. Accounts that fail age verification are immediately closed and any deposits refunded.
hb22's platform continuously monitors player activity for patterns that may indicate problematic gambling behaviour — including sudden increases in deposit frequency, loss-chasing patterns, extended unbroken sessions, and rapid escalation of bet sizes. When these patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team may proactively reach out to offer support and tools.
Players who have activated any responsible gaming tool — including cooling-off periods and self-exclusion — are immediately removed from all hb22 promotional and marketing communications. We will not send bonus offers, deposit match promotions, or seasonal incentive messages to players who have indicated they are managing their gambling. This applies across email, WhatsApp, and all other channels.
Every hb22 player has full, unfiltered access to their complete deposit history, withdrawal history, bet history, and bonus usage records at all times through the account dashboard. Transparent financial records are a fundamental responsible gaming feature — knowing exactly what you have spent and won is essential to maintaining healthy gambling habits.
If you are a family member or close friend of someone in Bangladesh who you believe may be experiencing gambling-related harm, hb22 encourages you to contact our support team. While we are bound by data privacy obligations and cannot share specific account details, we can provide guidance on how to approach the situation, explain our self-exclusion options, and signpost relevant support resources.
hb22 is committed to ensuring that every player understands the nature of gambling — including how odds work, why the house always has a mathematical edge over time, and why gambling should never be viewed as a reliable source of income. Our platform displays clear information about game RTP (return to player) percentages and includes responsible gaming reminders throughout the user journey.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always announce itself clearly. It can develop gradually, and many players do not recognise the warning signs until the situation has already become serious. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, please use hb22's responsible gaming tools or contact our support team immediately.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended, or betting amounts that feel uncomfortable the next day.
- Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in order to win back money you have already lost.
- Gambling with money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or family obligations.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling or when you try to reduce your gambling activity.
- Lying to family members or friends in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere about the amount of time or money you spend gambling.
- Gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, or other emotional difficulties.
- Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop gambling entirely despite a genuine desire to do so.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans specifically to fund gambling activity.
A Quick Self-Check
Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to activate a cooling-off period or speak with our support team today.
If two or more of the above apply, please contact hb22 support immediately or activate a cooling-off period from your account settings. Our team is available 24/7 at no cost to you.
How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools
Important: All responsible gaming tool activations on hb22 are permanent for their stated duration. Cooling-off periods and self-exclusion periods cannot be cancelled or shortened once they are active, regardless of the reason. This is by design — to protect you during periods when you may feel the urge to reverse your decision.
To activate any of the responsible gaming controls described on this page, log in to your hb22 account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. From that section you can set or modify deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, and reality check frequencies. You can also request a cooling-off period or initiate a self-exclusion from the same menu. Changes to limits that reduce your spending take effect immediately. Changes that increase your limits are subject to a 7-day waiting period.
If you prefer to speak with a member of our support team rather than making changes through the dashboard yourself, you can initiate a responsible gaming request via live chat at any time, day or night. Our support agents are trained to handle these requests with full confidentiality and without judgment. You can also send a WhatsApp message to our support number at +880 1XXX-XXXXXX — support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6).
For self-exclusion requests, hb22 recommends that you also consider registering with any national or regional responsible gambling programmes available in Bangladesh. Our support team can provide guidance on available resources at the time of your request.
We Are Here for You
If you are concerned about your gambling, or about someone else's gambling, please reach out to hb22 immediately. Our dedicated responsible gaming support line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year — including during Eid, Victory Day, and all public holidays in Bangladesh. There is no waiting period, no appointment needed, and no cost involved.
All responsible gaming enquiries are handled by trained support agents and are treated with strict confidentiality. We will never share details of a responsible gaming request with third parties unless required to do so by law, and we will never use your request as a reason to restrict your account in any way other than the specific tools you have requested.
hb22 also encourages all players to be aware of broader mental health and financial counselling resources available in Bangladesh. If gambling has contributed to financial hardship, speaking with a financial advisor or community welfare organisation in your area — whether in Dhaka, Sylhet, Chittagong, Khulna, or Rangpur — can be a valuable step alongside using hb22's in-platform tools.
