Tools 299b Gives You

Every tool on this page is free, available in your account settings, and designed to put you in charge of your own gaming experience.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 299b account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit is instant — increasing one requires a 7-day cooling-off period before it applies.

Available in Account Settings
Session Time Limits

Decide in advance how long you want to play in a single session. When your time is up, 299b will notify you and give you the option to stop. You can set session limits from as little as 30 minutes up to 8 hours per day. It is a simple way to stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Available in Account Settings
Reality Checks

Reality check notifications pop up at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent or won in that session. A quick pause to check in with yourself makes a real difference over time.

Available in Account Settings
Cool-Off Period

Need a short break without closing your account? A cool-off period lets you pause your 299b account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, you cannot deposit or play. Your account and balance remain intact and you can return when the period ends.

Available in Account Settings
Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, self-exclusion lets you block access to your 299b account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. This is the strongest tool available and we encourage you to use it if you need it.

Contact Support to Activate
Activity Statements

Request a full statement of your gaming activity — deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and time spent — for any period up to 12 months. Seeing your actual numbers in black and white is one of the most effective ways to stay honest with yourself about your gaming habits.

Why Responsible Gaming Matters at 299b

At 299b, responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox — it is a genuine part of how we run the platform. We know that the vast majority of players in Bangladesh enjoy 299b as a form of entertainment, the same way someone might enjoy watching cricket or going to the cinema. For most people, it stays that way. But for a small number of players, gaming can become a problem, and 299b takes that seriously.

Problem gambling does not always look the way people expect. It does not always mean losing everything overnight. More often it creeps in gradually — spending a little more than planned, chasing a loss here and there, playing to escape stress rather than for fun. These are the early signs that responsible gaming tools are designed to catch before things get harder to manage.

The tools 299b provides are not there to make gaming less enjoyable. They are there to make sure it stays enjoyable — on your terms, within your budget, and without affecting the other parts of your life that matter. Setting a deposit limit does not mean you trust yourself less. It means you are being smart about how you play, the same way a sensible person sets a budget before going to the market.

299b also trains its customer support team to recognise signs of problem gambling and to respond with care rather than pressure. If a support agent notices patterns in your account that suggest you might be struggling, they may reach out — not to judge you, but to make sure you know what help is available.

Responsible gaming at 299b is a shared responsibility. We provide the tools, the information, and the support. You decide how to use them. Together, we keep 299b a place where gaming is what it should be — fun, fair, and always in your control.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Most people who develop a gambling problem do not realise it straight away. The signs build up slowly. Knowing what to look for — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step toward getting things back on track.

If you recognise any of the signs listed here in your own behaviour, please use the responsible gaming tools available in your 299b account, or reach out to the support team. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the smart move.

Remember: Recognising a problem early makes it much easier to address. The tools on 299b are there for exactly this moment — use them without hesitation.

You sit down to play with a set amount in mind, but end up depositing more before the session ends. This happens once, then twice, then it becomes the pattern. If you regularly spend more than you intended to at 299b, a deposit limit is the most direct fix — set it now in your account settings before your next session.

After a losing session, you feel a strong urge to keep playing to win back what you lost. This is one of the most common and most dangerous patterns in problem gambling. The reality is that each game is independent — past losses do not change future odds. If you notice yourself chasing losses, stop the session immediately and use the cool-off tool.

Using gaming as a way to avoid dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or financial worries is a warning sign. Gaming can feel like a temporary escape, but it does not solve the underlying issue and can make financial stress worse. If this sounds familiar, a break from gaming — even a short cool-off period — combined with talking to someone you trust can help.

If you find yourself hiding how much time or money you spend on 299b from your family or close friends, that is a sign worth paying attention to. Secrecy around gaming often means, on some level, you already know the amount is more than you are comfortable with. Honest conversations with people you trust are one of the most effective forms of support.

Gaming should only ever be funded from money you can genuinely afford to lose — money left over after all your essential expenses are covered. If you are borrowing money, using bill money, or going into debt to fund gaming at 299b, please stop and contact [email protected] immediately. Self-exclusion may be the right step, and the 299b team will help you through it without judgment.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play — or when you try to cut down — can be a sign that gaming has moved beyond entertainment. These feelings are real and they are recognised symptoms of problem gambling. Talking to a doctor or counsellor alongside using 299b's self-exclusion tool is the recommended approach.

The 299b Golden Rules of Gaming

These are the principles that every 299b player is encouraged to keep in mind every time they play.

Only Play With Money You Can Afford to Lose

Before every session, decide on an amount you are genuinely comfortable losing. If losing that amount would cause you stress or financial difficulty, it is too much. Gaming money should come from your entertainment budget — never from savings, bills, or borrowed funds.

Set a Time Limit Before You Start

Decide how long you are going to play before you open the app. Use the 299b session time limit tool to enforce it automatically. When the time is up, close the app and do something else. Gaming is more enjoyable when it has a clear beginning and end.

Treat Winnings as a Bonus, Not an Income

Winning at 299b is exciting, but it is not a reliable source of income. The house edge means that over time, most players will spend more than they win. Enjoy wins when they happen, but never count on them to cover expenses or plan your finances around them.

Never Chase a Loss

If you have hit your loss limit for the session, stop. Do not deposit more to try to recover what you lost. Every game at 299b is independent — past results have no influence on future outcomes. Chasing losses is the fastest route from entertainment to problem gambling.

Play for Fun, Not to Fix Problems

Gaming at 299b is entertainment. It is not a solution to financial problems, stress, or difficult emotions. If you find yourself turning to 299b when you are upset, anxious, or under financial pressure, take a break and address the underlying issue first.

Keep Gaming in Balance With Life

Gaming should fit around your life — not the other way around. If 299b is taking time away from family, work, sleep, or things you used to enjoy, that is a sign the balance has shifted. Use the tools available to reset that balance before it becomes harder to do so.
