Core responsible gaming tools

Ab44 gives you these tools to stay in control of your gaming

Deposit limit setting

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in BDT. Once set, it takes effect immediately and helps you stay within your budget.

Session time limit

Set a time limit on how long you play in one session. When the time is up, ab44 will automatically remind you to take a break.

Cooling-off period

If you need a short break, temporarily close your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. No deposits or betting will be possible during this period.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a long-term break, you can self-exclude for anywhere between 3 months and 5 years. Your account cannot be reactivated until the exclusion period ends.

Gaming history review

View all your bets, wins, losses, and deposit history at any time. Understanding your own patterns is the first step toward responsible gaming.

Reality check messages

While you're playing, ab44 will send you a pop-up notification showing how long you've been in session — so it's easy to keep track of your time.

What responsible gaming is and why it matters

At ab44, we see gaming as a form of entertainment — not a guaranteed way to make money. Responsible gaming means enjoying yourself within your limits, keeping your finances, time, and mental well-being in mind. When those limits start to slip, gaming can become a problem.

Online gaming is growing in popularity across Bangladesh, with millions of people spending time on various platforms every day for entertainment. But the experience isn't the same for everyone — for some, what starts as fun can gradually turn into an addiction. ab44 is committed to preventing that before it happens.

Our responsible gaming policy isn't a legal formality — it's a genuine commitment. Making sure every player can enjoy a safe, happy, and controlled environment is a top priority at ab44.

Keep in mind: Winning is never guaranteed in gaming. Only play with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

Practical tips for responsible gaming

Follow these practices for a safe and enjoyable experience at ab44. These tips make responsible gaming easier to stick to.

  • Set your budget in advance: Decide how much BDT you'll spend on gaming each week or month before you start. Only draw from money you've already set aside for entertainment.
  • Set a time limit: Schedule set gaming times instead of playing for hours on end. Try to take at least a 10-minute break every hour.
  • Don't make decisions based on emotion: Don't place more bets out of anger or frustration after a loss. The smartest move at that moment is to take a break.
  • Don't play under the influence or when exhausted: It's hard to make good decisions when you're tired or under the influence. Avoid gaming in those states.
  • Don't make gaming your only form of entertainment: Make time for family, friends, hobbies, and other activities. A well-rounded lifestyle supports good mental health.
  • Don't play just chasing a win: Expecting a regular income from gaming is a misconception. Every game outcome is random and no win is ever guaranteed.

Our commitment to protecting minors

Ab44 is strictly for users aged 18 and above. Keeping minors away from online gaming is a core part of our responsible gaming policy.

Advice for parents: If you suspect your child is using ab44 or any online gaming platform, contact our support team immediately. Use parental control software on your devices and have an open conversation with your child about responsible internet use.
