1. Our Approach to Responsible Gaming
bq44 takes responsible gaming seriously. We believe that gambling, when approached as entertainment with clear personal boundaries, can be an enjoyable pastime. Our platform is designed for adult players in Bangladesh who choose to gamble for fun — never as a way to make money, solve financial problems, or escape personal difficulties. From the moment you register, our responsible gaming framework is in place to support you.
We do not encourage players to chase losses, to gamble beyond their means, or to view gambling as a primary source of income. Every player on the bq44 platform — whether in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, or anywhere else in Bangladesh — has access to the same suite of protective tools, free of charge, directly from their account dashboard.
2. Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling refers to a pattern of gambling behaviour that disrupts a person's personal life, finances, or mental health. It can develop gradually and may not be immediately obvious — even to the person experiencing it. At bq44, we encourage all players to periodically review their gambling behaviour honestly, regardless of how long they have been playing.
The following self-assessment checklist is designed to help you reflect on your gambling habits. If you answer 'yes' to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use one of the responsible gaming tools available in your account or to contact our support team.
⚠️ Important: Gambling should never be seen as a way to earn money or pay off debts. The house always has a statistical edge. Every session should be treated as a cost of entertainment — not a financial strategy. If you are betting money you cannot afford to lose, please stop and contact us immediately at [email protected].
Self-Assessment: How Is Your Gambling?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you are not alone. Many players occasionally recognise these patterns and take steps to manage their play. bq44 provides free tools to help — see the section below or contact our support team at [email protected] at any time.
3. Responsible Gaming Tools
All of the following tools are available free of charge to every registered bq44 player. They can be activated or adjusted at any time via your account settings. Changes to limits that increase your spending take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period; reductions take effect immediately.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the total amount you can deposit. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour waiting period.
Session Time Reminders
Configure a session duration alert that notifies you when you have been playing for a set period — for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. The reminder appears on screen and prompts you to decide whether to continue or take a break.
Time-Out Period
Take a short break from gambling by activating a time-out of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out your account remains open but deposits and betting are suspended. At the end of the period access is restored automatically.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer or more permanent break, you can request self-exclusion for 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or permanently. During self-exclusion your account is fully locked — no deposits, no bets, no logins. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. Contact [email protected] to initiate.
4. Safe Gambling Tips
Following a few simple guidelines can make a significant difference to your gambling experience. These are not restrictions — they are practical habits that experienced, responsible players in Bangladesh and around the world use to keep gambling enjoyable and manageable over the long term.
Before You Play
Establishing clear boundaries before each session is one of the most effective ways to stay in control. Consider the following before you start:
- Set a fixed budget for the session — only play with money you can afford to lose entirely, similar to the cost of any other form of entertainment.
- Set a time limit for the session and commit to stopping when you reach it, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
- Never gamble when you are tired, stressed, emotionally upset, or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair decision-making and increase impulsive behaviour.
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not as income. Never use gambling proceeds to pay bills, repay loans, or meet essential household expenses.
5. Protecting Young People
bq44 operates an absolute minimum age policy of 21 years. We verify the age of all players at the point of registration and, where required, through our KYC process. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be closed immediately and any balance returned, subject to fraud screening.
If you share a mobile device with family members who are under 21, we strongly recommend using your device's parental control settings to prevent access to the bq44 Platform. Do not save your login credentials on shared devices.
Reporting Underage Access
If you suspect that a person under 21 has registered or is using a bq44 account, please report it to us immediately:
- Email our support team at [email protected] with the subject line 'Underage Access Report'.
- Provide as much detail as you can — account username if known, approximate age, and the nature of your concern.
- All reports are treated as confidential and will be investigated promptly by our compliance team.
6. Gambling and Mental Health
There is a well-established link between problem gambling and mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, and stress. At bq44, we recognise that some players may be experiencing difficulties beyond gambling itself. We encourage anyone who feels that gambling — or any other challenge — is affecting their wellbeing to seek appropriate professional support. Our platform is a source of entertainment; it is not a substitute for mental health care.
If you are in Bangladesh and need to speak with someone about gambling-related distress, financial stress, or mental health concerns, please reach out to a trusted family member, a local healthcare professional, or a counselling service in your area. bq44's support team can also refer you to general wellbeing resources upon request.
7. Our Commitment to Fair Play
bq44 is committed to offering games that are genuinely fair. All casino games on the Platform use certified Random Number Generator (RNG) technology, which ensures that every spin, card deal, or dice roll is entirely random and independent of previous outcomes. We do not manipulate results in favour of the house beyond the standard statistical return-to-player (RTP) rate that is publicly associated with each game.
Sports betting markets on bq44 reflect current market odds for real sporting events. We do not offer odds on fictional or simulated events. Responsible gaming and fair play are two sides of the same coin — a platform that players can trust is one that protects them, plays fair, and puts their long-term wellbeing above short-term revenue.
