Important Warning: Gaming addiction is real. This platform is for users aged 18 and above only. If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your daily life, seek help immediately.

tk299's Responsible Gaming Commitment

Tk299 is more than just a gaming platform — we believe every player's safety and wellbeing matters far more than our bottom line. Responsible gaming isn't an added perk for us; it's a core part of who we are.

We encourage every user to keep gaming a limited, healthy form of entertainment in their life. Gaming should never be seen as a source of income, and chasing losses by placing more bets is one of the most dangerous habits you can develop.

To ensure responsible gaming on our platform, we follow international standards and continuously improve our safeguards. Read on to learn how we work to keep you protected.

Our Goal: tk299's core goal for responsible gaming is to ensure every user can play with full control and access help whenever they need it.

What is responsible gaming?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a form of entertainment where you stay in full control of your budget, time, and emotions. It's a mindset that accepts both winning and losing as normal, and never bets beyond your means under any circumstances.

In Bangladesh, many people end up spending excessive time and money on gaming in hopes of quick earnings or due to social pressure. Responsible gaming practices are essential to avoid falling into this situation.

  • Play for Entertainment Only: Don't expect gaming to be a source of income.
  • Set a budget in advance: Decide in advance how much you can afford to lose.
  • Stick to Your Time Limits: Don't play for more than a set amount of time each day.
  • Don't chase your losses: Avoid the urge to chase your losses.
  • Stay Calm: Avoid playing when you're feeling angry, sad, or stressed.

Keep in Mind: Responsible gaming is not a sign of weakness — it's the greatest strength of a smart player.

Self-Limit Setting Tools

Tk299 puts you in control of your own gaming experience. In your account settings, you can set the following limits yourself:

Limit Type Description Duration Status
Deposit Limit Maximum deposit amount per day/week/month Daily, Weekly, Monthly Active
Bet Limits Set a maximum bet amount per single wager Per session Active
Loss Limit Automatically stops play once a set loss amount is reached Daily, Weekly Active
Session Time Limit Set a limit on how long you can play each day Daily Optional
Reality Check Reminds you how long you've been playing at set intervals Every hour Optional

Important: Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a 24–72 hour waiting period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Recognizing the Signs of Gaming Addiction

Gaming addiction develops gradually and can be hard to recognize in yourself. Watch out for the following signs:

Financial Warning Signs:

  • Betting Beyond Your Means
  • Gambling with borrowed money or savings
  • Chasing Losses with More Bets
  • Cutting household expenses to fund gaming

Emotional Signs:

  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to play
  • Lying about gaming
  • Withdrawing from friends and family
  • Losing focus at work or school

Time-Related Signs:

  • Playing for hours on end
  • Playing Through the Night Instead of Sleeping
  • Unable to Stick to Set Limits
  • Being unable to stop after telling yourself "just one more"

Social Signs:

  • Avoiding Social Events
  • Strain on family relationships
  • Hiding your gaming from others
  • Feeling lonely and depressed

Warning: If you identify with three or more of the signs above, don't wait — seek help now. Gaming addiction is a recognized mental health condition and it is treatable.

Self-Assessment Questionnaire

Be honest with yourself. A "Yes" to any of the questions below means you should be cautious in that area:

1 Have you ever spent more time or money gaming than you planned to?
2 Have you repeatedly returned to gaming to try to win back money you've lost?
3 Have you tried to cut back or stop gaming but found you couldn't?
4 Have you ever lied to family or friends about your gaming?
5 Has gaming caused you to neglect your work, studies, or time with family?
6 Do you turn to gaming to cope with stress or loneliness?
7 Have you ever gamed using borrowed money or by dipping into your savings?
8 Do you feel restless or irritable when you are unable to game?

Risk level:

Safe (0–2) Be Cautious (3–5) Seek Help (6–8)

Result: If 3 or more answers are "Yes," it's time to reconsider your gaming habits. If more than 6 are "Yes," you should seek professional help immediately.

Account Break & Self-Exclusion

If you feel like you need a break, tk299 gives you that option. Use the tools below to take a temporary or permanent break:

  • Cooling-Off Period (24 hours to 6 weeks): During this period, you will not be able to log in to your account or place any bets.
  • Self-Exclusion (1 month to 5 years): This is the most effective tool for a long-term break. Once activated, it cannot be cancelled before the set period ends.
  • Permanent Account Closure: If you want to stop gaming entirely, you can permanently close your account.

To take a break: Go to Account Settings → "Responsible Gaming" section → choose your preferred option. Or email [email protected] and we'll take action within 24 hours.

Keep in Mind: During self-exclusion, we will not send you any promotional emails or bonus offers, and you will not be able to create a new account.

The Role of Parents and Family

Support from close family members plays the most vital role in overcoming gaming addiction. As a guardian, you can take the following steps:

  • Have an open conversation: Talk to your family member about their gaming habits with empathy, not judgment.
  • Device management: Use parental control software on devices used by children or teenagers.
  • Alternative Activities: Encourage physical activity, social engagement, or hobbies as alternatives to gaming.
  • Financial Monitoring: Monitor your family's mobile banking and bank accounts for any unusual transactions.
  • Professional help: Consult a psychiatrist or counsellor if needed.

Support for families: If you believe a family member is struggling with gaming addiction, reach out to us at [email protected]. We can point you toward the right help.

How to Get Help

You are not alone. Seeking professional help is the most effective step you can take toward overcoming gaming addiction. Here are some resources that can help:

  • tk299 Support Team: Email us at [email protected] — support is available 24/7.
  • National Mental Health Helpline: Contact the Bangladesh government's mental health services center.
  • Local Counseling Services: Contact your nearest hospital or mental health clinic.
  • Family therapy: Gaming addiction affects families too. Family counseling sessions can be very beneficial.
  • Online Support Groups: Share your experiences with others who are going through the same thing.

Emergency contacts: If gaming addiction is seriously affecting your mental health, go to the nearest hospital immediately or reach out to someone you trust. You are not alone — seeking help takes courage.

Minor Protection Policy

Tk299 strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from gaming on our platform. Age verification is mandatory at registration, and we may request KYC verification in any case where we have reason to doubt a user's age.

  • Age verification: Age is verified at registration through a national ID card or passport.
  • Parental Controls: Use parental control software on shared devices at home.
  • Reporting: If you suspect a minor is using tk299, please report it to [email protected].
  • Immediate action: If a minor is identified, the account is immediately closed and all deposited funds are returned.

A Note for Parents: Keep your device passwords and payment information secure. Have an open conversation with your child about the risks of online gaming.

Budget & Money Management

Managing your gaming budget responsibly is one of the most important aspects of playing responsibly. Follow one simple rule: only bet money you can afford to lose without it affecting your life.

  • Set a monthly entertainment budget: Allocate no more than 2–5% of your total income to gaming.
  • Use a separate account: Keep a separate mobile banking account for gaming.
  • Withdraw your winnings: Make it a habit to withdraw after a big win rather than reinvesting.
  • Don't use credit: Never bet with a credit card or borrowed money.
  • Review Your Transaction History: Review your gaming expenses at least once a month.

Keep in Mind: Expecting regular income from gaming is not realistic. It's a form of entertainment, not a financial plan.

Important Warning

Gaming is a form of entertainment. It is not a solution to financial problems, a way to pay off debts, or a reliable source of income. Always keep the following in mind:

  • The outcome of every bet is entirely unpredictable — it has no connection to previous wins or losses.
  • "I'm on a winning streak, so let me keep going" — this mindset is the most dangerous one of all.
  • Never game under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Gaming companies always hold a mathematical edge over players in the long run.
  • Bonuses and promotions can be tempting, but always read the terms and conditions first.
