Your Well-being Comes First

Responsible gaming — 22live's commitment

22live believes gaming should be enjoyable entertainment, not a source of problems. Learn how to play safely and responsibly.

Important Reminders

Gaming is entertainment, not a source of income. Only play with money you can afford to lose without affecting your livelihood. If you feel you're losing control, seek help immediately.

What is responsible gaming and why it matters

Responsible gaming means playing in a way where you stay in full control — of your time, money, and emotions. At 22live, we believe every player should enjoy gaming, never feel pressure or anxiety.

Statistics show that most people can play responsibly, but in some cases gaming can become problematic. 22live's goal is to create an environment where players can play safely and consciously.

Core principles of Responsible Gaming

  • Set limits: Decide before you play how much money and time you'll spend
  • Don't try to recover lost money: Betting more after a loss is the biggest mistake
  • Don't play with borrowed money: Only play with your own money, never with borrowed funds
  • Don't treat gaming as a source of income: It's entertainment, not a substitute for employment
  • Don't play under stress: Take a break from gaming if you're feeling down or stressed
  • Take regular breaks: Avoid long continuous play sessions

Did you know?

Research shows that players who set limits for themselves and stick to them enjoy gaming much more and are 85% less likely to develop problems.

22live's Responsible Gaming tools

We provide various tools to help players stay in control.

Deposit Limit

What It Is: You can set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

How to set it up: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits → enter your preferred limit.

Note: Lowering limits takes effect immediately, but increasing them requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Loss Limit

What It Is: Your gaming session will stop automatically once you reach the set loss amount.

Example: If you set a daily loss limit of BDT 2000 and lose BDT 2000 in one day, you won't be able to play for the rest of that day.

Benefits: Protects you from losing extra money in the heat of the moment.

Session Time Limit

What It Is: Set a limit on how long you play in a single session. You'll receive automatic notifications when time is up.

Recommendation: Take at least a 15-minute break every 60-90 minutes.

Why It Matters: Long gaming sessions reduce decision-making ability and increase the chance of mistakes.

Reality Check

What It Is: At regular intervals, you'll see how long you've been playing and how much you've won/lost.

Frequency: You can receive reminders every 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

Purpose: Keeps you aware and helps you avoid impulsive decisions.

Self-Exclusion

What It Is: You can voluntarily close your account for a set period (7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently).

When to use: When gaming feels out of control.

Important: During self-exclusion, you cannot log in and it cannot be cancelled before the period ends.

Time-Out (break)

What It Is: Less restrictive than self-exclusion — temporary break from 24 hours up to 30 days.

The Difference: Time-outs can be cancelled anytime, but require a 24-hour waiting period.

When to use: When you feel a break would be helpful but don't need a long self-exclusion.

Responsible gaming tips and advice

Following these simple rules will keep gaming enjoyable and safe.

Set a budget

Decide before you play how much you can afford to spend this month. Never exceed that budget, no matter the temptation.

Set Time Limits

Set a maximum number of hours per day or per week. Use alarms as reminders.

Play for fun only

Treat gaming as entertainment, not a way to make money. Winnings are a bonus, not an expectation.

Avoid chasing losses

Don't chase losses by placing bigger bets to win back what you've lost. This is the fastest way to lose more money.

Take Regular Breaks

Take a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, drink water, rest your eyes.

Don't Play Alone

Spend time with family and friends. Maintain your social life and don't isolate yourself.

To withdraw winnings from a bonus, you must first complete the Wagering Requirement must be completed. Here's how it works:

What is Wagering Requirement?
This is a multiplier of the bonus amount you must wager to convert the bonus into real cash. Example: x30 wagering means you must bet 30 times the bonus amount.

Calculation example:
Say you received a BDT 1,000 bonus with a wagering requirement of x30:
— Total wagering required = 1000 × 30 = BDT 30,000
— meaning you need to wager a total of BDT 30,000 (win or lose)

How much each game counts:
Not all games contribute equally to wagering:
— Slots: 100% (BDT 100 wagered = BDT 100 towards requirement)
— Table Games (Blackjack, Roulette): 10–20%
— Live Casino: 10%
— Sports Betting: Specific terms apply (typically 1.5+ odds)

Track Progress:
— Log in to your account → Go to the Bonuses section
— Click "Active Bonus" to see how much wagering remains
— A progress bar will show how much you've completed

Important rules:
— bonuses typically have a Duration time limit (such as 30 days). If wagering is not completed within the timeframe, the bonus will be forfeited.
— If wagering is not complete Cannot withdraw।
— A maximum bet limit may apply (e.g. BDT 500 per bet maximum).

Detailed terms are listed in the "Terms and Conditions" of each promotion — please read them before claiming any bonus.
