Gaming should be fun — a way to relax, enjoy the thrill, and maybe win a bit along the way. At 22bd, we want every player to stay in control. This page covers the tools, resources, and honest advice we provide to make sure gaming stays a positive experience for everyone on our platform.
Responsible gaming means playing within your means, keeping it fun, and knowing when to stop. It's not about telling you how to enjoy yourself — it's about making sure you always have the choice and the tools to stay in control.
At 22bd, responsible gaming is built into the platform from the ground up. Whether you're placing a bet on cricket, spinning slots, or playing a fishing game, the same principles apply: set a budget, stick to it, and treat gaming as entertainment — not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
The reality is that most players on 22bd enjoy the platform without any issues. But for a small number of people, gaming can become a problem. We take that seriously. The tools and information on this page are here for everyone — whether you just want to set a sensible deposit limit or you need to take a longer break from the platform.
Gaming is entertainment. Enjoy it the same way you'd enjoy a movie or a meal out — with a budget in mind.
Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you start. Never chase losses with money you need for other things.
It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the zone. Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
If gaming stops being fun, or you're playing to recover losses, it's time to step back. Use our tools to help.
All of these tools are free, available in your account settings, and take effect immediately.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 22bd account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time — increases take 24 hours to take effect as a cooling-off measure.
Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose over a given period. When your losses reach the limit, your account is automatically restricted from placing further bets until the period ends. A practical way to make sure a bad run doesn't turn into a serious problem.
Set a maximum session length. When your time is up, you'll receive a notification and be prompted to take a break. You can also set a reminder to pop up at regular intervals during your session — a simple nudge to check in with yourself.
Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for a set number of days — from 1 day up to 6 weeks. During this time you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account and balance are preserved and waiting when you return.
If you feel you need a longer break, self-exclusion lets you close your account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully blocked and cannot be reopened before the period ends. Contact our support team to activate this option immediately.
Enable on-screen pop-ups that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent during the current session. These reminders appear at intervals you choose — every 15, 30, or 60 minutes — so you always have a clear picture of your activity.
Problem gaming doesn't always look obvious from the outside. It can creep up gradually — what starts as a fun hobby can slowly start taking up more time, money, and mental energy than it should. Knowing the warning signs is the first step to addressing them.
If you recognise any of the signs on this page in yourself or someone you know, please reach out to our support team or take a break using one of the tools in your account. There's no shame in it — it takes self-awareness to notice these things, and that's a strength.
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, consider using one of our responsible gaming tools or speaking to our support team.

Responsible gaming isn't just a page on our website — it's how we operate every day.
22bd does not allow anyone under 18 to register or play. We verify age at registration and may request additional identity documents at any time. If we discover an underage account, it is closed immediately and all funds are returned. Protecting young people is non-negotiable for us.
22bd does not target advertising at vulnerable individuals or people who have self-excluded. Our promotions are designed to be transparent — we clearly state all terms, wagering requirements, and conditions. We never use misleading language that implies guaranteed wins or exaggerates the likelihood of winning.
Our customer support team is trained to recognise signs of problem gaming and respond with care and without judgment. If you reach out about a gaming concern, you'll be treated with respect and pointed toward the right tools and resources — not pushed back toward the platform.
Every game on 22bd displays its return-to-player (RTP) percentage and volatility rating. We believe players deserve to know the odds before they play. Understanding how a game works helps you make informed decisions about where and how much to play.
We don't send aggressive bonus offers to players who have set deposit limits or are showing signs of high-frequency play. Bonuses are meant to add value to your experience — not to pressure you into depositing more than you're comfortable with.
You can view your full gaming and transaction history at any time from your account dashboard. Seeing exactly how much time and money you've spent is one of the most effective ways to stay aware of your habits and make adjustments before things get out of hand.
Most players on 22bd enjoy the platform without any issues at all. These tips are for everyone — a few simple habits that keep gaming fun and prevent small problems from becoming bigger ones.
Set a fixed amount you're happy to spend — and treat it like the cost of entertainment, not an investment. Once it's gone, the session is over.
Gaming when you're in a bad headspace often leads to impulsive decisions and bigger losses. Come back when you're feeling calm and clear-headed.
Step away from the screen every hour or so. Grab a drink, stretch, check in with family. It keeps your perspective fresh and your decisions sharper.
Every game has a house edge. Losses happen — they're not a reason to keep playing or bet bigger. Walk away and come back another day.
Gaming is one form of entertainment among many. Keep it in balance with time spent with friends, family, exercise, and other hobbies you enjoy.
We know that for most of our players, 22bd is just a fun part of their week — a place to catch a cricket match, try their luck on slots, or enjoy a fishing game with friends. That's exactly what we want it to be.
But we also know that life isn't always straightforward, and sometimes what starts as harmless fun can become something more complicated. If that ever happens to you, we want you to know that 22bd is on your side — not just as a platform, but as a team of real people who care about your wellbeing.
Reach out to us any time at [email protected]. We're here 24/7, and we'll always treat you with respect and without judgment.
