bd296 Guide to Responsible Gambling
Play for fun, not out of addiction. bd296 is committed to protecting your mental and financial wellbeing — through tools, support and awareness.
21+ — bd296 is for people aged 21 and above only. Opening an account or playing by minors is strictly prohibited. Parents are requested to use parental control software to manage minors' device usage.
What is Responsible Gambling?
bd296 believes that gambling is a recreational activity — when kept within control.
Responsible gambling means playing consciously, within your means and while maintaining peace of mind. At bd296 we want every player to see gambling as a limited source of entertainment — not as a source of income or a solution to problems.
There is always a risk of losing money when gambling. It is not possible to make consistent profit from a casino or betting platform over the long term. That is why we always advise you to only wager an amount whose loss will have no impact on your daily life.
Our platform has several tools to help you manage your playing time, spending and activity. On this page you can learn how to use these tools and where to get help.
Our Safety Tools
bd296 provides the following tools to keep your gaming experience protected.
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum cap on how much you deposit each day, each week or each month. Once a limit is set it takes effect immediately, and a 24-hour waiting period applies before it can be increased.
Time-Out Feature
Take a voluntary break from 24 hours up to a maximum of 6 weeks. During a time-out, no betting or deposit facility will be available from your account. Access is restored automatically once the break ends.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel gambling is getting out of control, choose long-term self-exclusion. Your account can be fully closed for 6 months to 5 years. This is an important protective measure.
Loss Limit
Set a maximum cap on how much you can lose within a set period. Once the limit is reached, placing new bets stops automatically — this is effective at reducing financial harm.
Session Time Limit
Decide in advance how long you will play in each session. When the set time is up, a warning message will be shown to remind you to take a break.

Recognise the Warning Signs of a Problem
If you notice the following signs in yourself, it is important to seek help.
Chasing losses by placing more bets
Repeatedly placing bets to "recover" after a loss is a common sign of gambling addiction. It often leads to larger financial losses.
Spending beyond your budget
Spending money meant for bills, rent or family needs on gambling is a dangerous sign. Responsible gambling means using only surplus funds.
Hiding gambling from loved ones
Keeping the amount or time spent gambling secret from family or friends is a sign of mental discomfort — this is an important warning signal.
Distraction or irritability in daily tasks
Losing focus on work, studies or family responsibilities because of gambling is a concerning sign.
Taking on debt to fund gambling
Borrowing money from friends, family or institutions to gamble points to a serious problem. Seek help immediately.
Being unable to stop playing
Wanting to stop but being unable to, repeatedly thinking "just one more time" yet continuing to play — this is a clear sign of addiction.
Ways to Help Yourself
Some practical steps toward responsible gambling that you can take right now.
Set a budget
Fix a limit for gambling from your monthly entertainment budget and stick to it strictly. Put any winnings in the bank.
Keep to a time limit
Make a rule not to play beyond a set time each day. Never play before sleeping or during work hours.
Take breaks
Take regular breaks during play. Never place bets when you are emotional or under stress.
Talk to a loved one
Talk openly with a trusted family member or friend about your gambling habits. Take their feedback seriously.
