Play Responsibly
Responsible Gaming at af44
Gaming is entertainment — not a way to make money. af44 gives every player in Bangladesh the tools to stay in control, set personal limits, and get help whenever needed. 21+ only.
Gaming Should Always Be Fun
At af44, we believe that online gaming — whether it is cricket betting, slots, live casino, crash games, or lottery — should be a fun and enjoyable leisure activity, not a source of financial stress or personal hardship. For players across Bangladesh, from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Cox's Bazar, responsible gaming is not simply a policy statement: it is a practical commitment built into how the af44 platform works every single day.
We have built a full set of player-protection tools directly into the af44 platform. These features are free, available to every registered account holder, and can be activated instantly through your account settings or by contacting our support team. We encourage all players to use these tools proactively — before a problem develops, not after.
Key reminder: gambling with money you cannot afford to lose is never a good idea. Set a realistic budget before you start, and use af44's deposit limit tool to enforce that budget automatically so you never need to rely on willpower alone.
Our Responsible Gaming Tools
af44 puts control in your hands through the following built-in responsible gaming features, all accessible directly from your account settings:
Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay to keep your spending within budget.
Cap how long you can play in a single session. When your limit is reached, af44 reminds you to take a break.
Take a short break from gaming — 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days — without permanently closing your account.
Permanently block access to your af44 account for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or indefinitely when gaming no longer feels under control.
Review your full deposit, withdrawal, and betting history at any time to understand your exact spending patterns.
Receive periodic in-session pop-ups showing how long you have played and how much you have wagered, keeping you aware and in control.
Know Your Limits — Smart Gaming Rules
Responsible gaming starts with clear personal rules. af44 recommends every player follow these principles before and during each gaming session:
- Only gamble with money you can genuinely afford to lose — never use rent, food, bill, or savings money for gaming sessions.
- Set a firm budget using af44's deposit limit tool before your first session of the day — not after you have already started.
- Never chase losses. If your session budget is gone, stop. The next session is a fresh start, not a recovery attempt.
- Take regular breaks during long gaming sessions — fatigue impairs judgment and increases the risk of poor betting decisions.
- Do not gamble when stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol — emotional states nearly always lead to worse outcomes.
- Keep gaming in balance with family, work, and social life. If gaming is crowding out other important activities, it is time to step back.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. Being honest about your own behaviour is the first step toward getting help.
If any of the warning signs below apply to you or someone you care about, please contact af44 support immediately. You do not need to be in crisis — reaching out early is always the right call.
- Spending more on gaming than you planned, and struggling to stop even when you want to.
- Borrowing money, selling belongings, or missing financial obligations to fund gaming.
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling, or when trying to cut down your gaming activity.
- Returning repeatedly to gaming to try to win back money lost in previous sessions — chasing losses.
- Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
- Using gaming as the main escape from stress, depression, anxiety, or other difficult emotions.
If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself, please do not wait. Contact af44 support to activate a time-out or self-exclusion today — there is no judgment, only help.
Deposit Limits — Control Your Spending
af44's deposit limit tool lets you place a hard cap on the amount you transfer into your gaming account within any defined period. Limits are available as daily, weekly, or monthly caps and apply to all payment methods including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay. The system is designed with an important asymmetry: lowering a limit takes effect immediately, while raising a limit requires a 24-hour cooling period before it applies. This design makes it easy to protect yourself and harder to undo that protection on impulse.
- Daily limit: ensures you never exceed a set spending amount in any single calendar day — best for players who game frequently.
- Weekly limit: balances flexibility within the week while still capping total outlay — recommended for regular players on a weekly budget.
- Monthly limit: best for players who budget on a monthly cycle, aligning gaming spend with their overall household financial plan.
Tip: Set your deposit limit on the same day you receive your monthly income — that way your gaming budget is locked in before everyday expenses are calculated, and you will never accidentally overspend on gaming.
Time-Out Feature — Take a Break When You Need It
The af44 time-out feature lets you pause your account for a defined short-term period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days — without permanently closing it. During a time-out, you cannot log in, make deposits, or place bets. Your account balance is preserved and your account remains intact. The time-out expires automatically at the end of the chosen period; no action is needed from you to resume access after it ends.
Time-out is ideal for players who want a deliberate pause — perhaps after a difficult session, during a busy personal or professional period, or simply as part of a planned gaming schedule. To activate a time-out, navigate to Account Settings, select Responsible Gaming, then select Time-Out and choose your duration. You can also request a time-out by emailing [email protected].
How to Activate Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is af44's most powerful player-protection tool. It permanently blocks access to your account for a minimum of 6 months and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. Follow these steps to activate it:
- Log in to your af44 account and open Account Settings.
- Navigate to Responsible Gaming and select Self-Exclusion.
- Choose your exclusion duration: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent.
- Confirm your request. Your account will be locked immediately and you will receive a confirmation email.
- Alternatively, email [email protected] and request self-exclusion directly — our team will process it without delay.
During a self-exclusion period, af44 will not send you any promotional messages. Any remaining account balance will be returned to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, or Rocket) after identity verification is completed.
Underage Gambling Prevention
af44 enforces a strict 21+ age policy across the entire platform. All players must be 21 years of age or older to register, deposit, and participate in any gaming activity. Age verification is a mandatory part of the KYC process for all accounts. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 will be closed immediately and all associated funds returned.
If you are a parent or guardian, please use your device's parental control settings to prevent underage access to the af44 platform. Most Android and iOS devices include built-in parental control options. Speak to your children openly about the risks of online gambling and make clear that it is strictly an adult activity.
If you believe a minor has registered an account or accessed your af44 account without permission, contact us immediately at [email protected]. We take underage gambling with the utmost seriousness and will act without delay upon verified reports.
