Play responsibly and stay in control for safer gaming
Gaming should be entertainment, not a way to earn dependable income. Set clear limits on your time and spending, accept that every bet can lose, and stop when your personal limit is reached. If playing begins to affect your finances, sleep, work, studies, or relationships, take a break and seek support.

We provide information and practical controls to help keep gaming within safe personal limits. These tools cannot remove the risk of loss, so review your choices before every session.
Set a spending budget
Choose a maximum amount for a day, week, or month before you start. Count deposits and losses together, and do not increase the limit to recover money. Example: if your daily entertainment budget is ৳500, stop when that amount is used rather than making another deposit.
Set a session time limit
Long sessions can reduce attention and lead to rushed decisions. Decide when your session will end, use a timer, and take regular breaks. Check whether you are still following your original plan instead of extending play after a loss.
Voluntary break or cooling-off
Take a voluntary break when you feel distracted, frustrated, or tempted to continue. A break can help you reset your routine and review your spending. Do not use another account to bypass a break, and contact support if you need help finding the relevant setting.
Self-exclusion
If gaming is becoming difficult to control, consider self-exclusion and stop using the account for the selected period. Remove saved payment details, avoid opening another account, and tell someone you trust. If gambling is causing serious distress or financial harm, seek help from a qualified local support service.
Warning signs to watch for
Review your behaviour for warning signs such as chasing losses, placing larger bets after losing, hiding play from family, borrowing money, missing work or study, or playing late into the night. These signs mean it is time to stop, use a break or self-exclusion tool, and seek support.
Protecting under-18s
CK44 is for people aged 18 and over. Do not allow anyone under 18 to use an account or payment method. Keep login details private, use device controls where appropriate, and report suspected underage access to support.
01What is responsible gambling and why does it matter?
Responsible gambling means treating gaming as entertainment rather than a reliable source of income. Play only with money you can afford to lose, set time and spending limits in advance, and stop when those limits are reached. Never chase losses or assume a win is due.
As online gaming becomes more accessible in Bangladesh, clear personal boundaries are important. Before starting, decide your maximum spend and session length, check that essential expenses are covered, and record deposits and losses so your actual spending is easy to see.
Any entertainment activity can become harmful when it replaces sleep, work, study, family time, or daily responsibilities. A useful check is to ask whether you are hiding your play, feeling unable to stop, or thinking about bets throughout the day. If the answer is yes, pause and seek help.
Remember:Every bet carries a risk of loss, whether funds are added through bKash, Nagad, or another payment method. Do not treat a balance, promotion, or possible return as guaranteed money. Use only a pre-set entertainment budget, never borrow to play, and stop if losses are affecting essential needs.
02Golden rules for healthy gaming
Keep gaming within a clear entertainment budget and read the terms of any bonus before using it. A bonus may have conditions such as wagering requirements, eligible games, expiry periods, or withdrawal restrictions. Example: if you do not understand a condition, do not count the bonus as withdrawable funds.
- Play only with entertainment money:Never use rent, food costs, school fees, medical money, savings, borrowed funds, or credit to gamble. Only use money that can be lost without affecting your household. If a loss would create stress or make an essential payment difficult, the amount is beyond your safe budget.
- Set your budget in advance:Set the maximum amount before placing your first bet, including any planned top-up. Fast payment access does not make additional spending safe. When your limit is reached, end the session and wait until the next planned period instead of depositing again to recover losses.
- Track your time:Avoid playing continuously for long periods. Take a short break about once an hour: stand up, stretch, walk briefly, drink water, and rest your eyes. Breaks can help you stay aware of your time and spending.
- Do not chase losses:Trying to recover a loss by placing larger bets can increase your financial risk. Do not chase losses or treat any bonus as a way to restore money. Accept the result, stop if needed, and review your limits before playing again on another day.
- Do not play when you feel distressed:Playing while angry, upset, stressed, or worried can affect your judgement. Only play when you feel calm enough to make clear decisions about your time and spending.
- Spend time with people you trust:Gaming should not replace your relationships or everyday activities. Make time for family, friends, study, work, exercise, and other interests outside gaming.
Take extra care:Do not gamble after drinking alcohol or using drugs. These substances can impair judgement and make it harder to control decisions and spending.
03Recognise the signs of gambling problems
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising changes in your behaviour early can help you or someone close to you take action before the situation becomes more serious. Pay attention to your habits, time, mood, and spending.
One or more of the following behaviours may be a warning sign:
- You spend more than the budget you set and cannot stop, even after noticing the overspending.
- You place larger bets to try to win back money you have lost.
- You hide how much time or money you spend gaming from family members or close friends.
- You feel restless, irritable, or unusually unsettled when you cannot play.
- You give gaming priority over important routines, study, work, sleep, or family responsibilities.
- You borrow money, use credit, or hide money at home to fund gaming.
- You decide to stop but return to the same pattern after a short time.
If you notice these signs:If any of these signs apply to you, take action without shame. Consider stopping, telling someone you trust, and using any available account break or self-exclusion option. You can also contact CK44 support for help with the account tools. If gambling is affecting your wellbeing or finances, seek professional advice.
04Check your habits with a self-assessment
Answer each question honestly. Three or more “yes” answers suggest that you should pause gaming and consider speaking with CK44 support or a qualified professional. This is a screening exercise, not a diagnosis.
1Do you continue playing beyond the time or spending limit you set before starting?
2Do you avoid work, study, family responsibilities, or social commitments because of gaming?
3Do you use gaming to escape stress, low mood, anxiety, or other difficult feelings?
4Have you experienced money problems because of gaming during the past 30 days?
5Has a family member or close friend expressed concern about your gaming?
6Do you often feel unable to stop, even when you genuinely want to?
Remember:This self-assessment cannot diagnose a health condition. It is a simple way to reflect on your behaviour. If your answers concern you, consider speaking with a mental-health professional or addiction counsellor.
05How to use CK44 responsible-gaming tools
Account limits and break options can help you create distance from gaming. Before relying on a tool, read its settings carefully and confirm when it starts, how long it lasts, and whether it can be changed or cancelled.
Set a deposit limit
If this option is available in your account, set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount in Account Settings. Choose an amount you can afford to lose, and check whether lowering the limit takes effect immediately or after a waiting period.
Use a session timer
Set a maximum playing time before you begin. Use an alarm or the available account timer to remind you when the session should end. When the reminder appears, stop and review whether continuing fits your plan.
Take a cooling-off break
Choose a voluntary break if you need time away from gaming. Check the available duration and access restrictions before confirming, because the terms may depend on the account tool you select.
Use self-exclusion
Self-exclusion is a longer break from gaming. Select the period shown in your account and read the confirmation carefully. Do not create another account to bypass a self-exclusion decision.
How to set it up:To check the settings, log in to your account, open the profile or account menu, and look for “Responsible Gaming”. Choose the relevant tool and confirm the details before activating it. Contact Live Chat if you cannot find or use a setting.
06What to do if gaming feels out of control
If gaming is affecting your spending, mood, sleep, work, study, or relationships, stop and take practical steps straight away. You do not need to wait until the problem becomes severe.
Stop and breathe
Close the game and step away from the screen. Take several slow breaths, drink water, and remind yourself that you do not need to continue or recover a loss immediately.
Activate a cooling-off break or self-exclusion
Open your CK44 account settings and select an available cooling-off or self-exclusion option. If you cannot activate one, contact support and ask how to restrict access to your account.
Tell someone you trust
Tell a trusted family member or friend what is happening. Sharing the situation can add accountability and help you avoid gambling when you feel pressured or upset.
Contact CK44 support
For account-related responsible-gaming questions, contact CK44 support through an available support channel. Ask specifically about deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion.[email protected]You can also use Live Chat when it is available. Support can explain account options, but it cannot remove the need to seek professional help when gambling is affecting your health or finances.
Seek professional help
If gambling is difficult to control or is causing distress, debt, conflict, or sleep problems, speak with a mental-health professional or addiction counsellor. Reaching out is a practical step, not a sign of weakness.
CK44 responsible-gaming commitment:If you contact support, describe the specific issue you are experiencing and the restriction you want to apply. For urgent mental-health or safety concerns, contact an appropriate local emergency or professional service.
