Responsible Gaming at ar44 —
Stay in Control, Play With Confidence
ar44 believes that gaming should always be enjoyable, never stressful. Our Responsible Gaming framework gives every Bangladesh member the tools, information, and support needed to keep gambling a form of entertainment — not a source of harm. This page outlines the full range of player-protection measures available on the ar44 platform.
Why Responsible Gaming Matters to ar44
ar44 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable platform for all members in Bangladesh. We recognise that while the vast majority of our members gamble recreationally and within their means, a small number of people may develop patterns of behaviour that cause harm to themselves or those around them.
That is why ar44 has built a comprehensive set of player-protection tools directly into its platform — not as a regulatory box-ticking exercise, but because we genuinely believe that a sustainable, trusted gaming environment benefits everyone. When players feel safe and respected, they return. When they feel exploited or unsupported, they do not.
If you ever feel that gambling is beginning to affect your finances, your relationships, or your mental health, we encourage you to use the tools described on this page. You can also contact our support team at any time — they are trained to handle these conversations with care and without judgement.
ar44 also enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all account holders. Age and identity verification is conducted during the registration process, and ar44 reserves the right to request additional documentation at any time to confirm that a member meets this requirement.
Gambling should be treated as a form of paid entertainment — like going to a cinema or a cricket match — not as a strategy for generating income or recovering financial losses. The house always holds a mathematical edge over the long run.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose
- Never chase losses — accept them as the cost of entertainment
- Never borrow money to fund gambling activity
- Never use gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, or anxiety
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or substances
- Always set a session budget before you begin playing
Six Ways ar44 Helps You Stay in Control
Every tool on this page is available free of charge to all ar44 members. Access them at any time through your account dashboard or by contacting our support team.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the total amount you can deposit into your ar44 account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and require a 7-day cooling-off period when increased, protecting you from impulsive decisions.
Define the maximum net loss you are prepared to accept in a given daily, weekly, or monthly period. When your loss limit is reached, ar44 will automatically prevent further betting or gameplay until the period resets. Like deposit limits, reductions apply instantly while increases require a cooling-off period.
Set a maximum continuous session duration. ar44 will display a reminder when your session time is approaching its limit, and will log you out automatically when it is reached. This tool is particularly useful for keeping gaming sessions short, focused, and within planned boundaries.
If you feel you need a short break from gaming, you can activate a time-out for a period of your choice — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The time-out cannot be cancelled early once activated.
For members who feel they need a longer or permanent break, ar44 offers self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. During self-exclusion, ar44 will also suppress all promotional communications to your registered contact details.
Enable periodic on-screen notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session. Reality checks are displayed as a brief overlay during gameplay and require you to acknowledge them before continuing — keeping you aware of time and spend.
Could Gambling Be Becoming a Problem?
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The questions on the right are adapted from widely used problem gambling screening tools. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, ar44 strongly encourages you to use one of the player protection tools available on the platform and to speak with our support team or a professional counselling service.
Answering honestly — even if the answers are uncomfortable — is the first step toward regaining control. There is no shame in recognising that gambling has become a problem. Millions of people around the world experience this, and effective help is available.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion on ar44
Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools available to members who feel that their gambling has become unmanageable. Once activated, your account is fully suspended for your chosen period. The process is straightforward and takes only a few minutes.
Please be aware that self-exclusion is a serious commitment. ar44 will not lift a self-exclusion before the chosen period has expired, regardless of the reason given. This policy exists to protect you.

21+ Requirement — Why It Matters
ar44 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all account registrations. This policy exceeds the standard 18+ requirement used by many platforms, reflecting ar44's commitment to a higher standard of player protection in the Bangladesh market.
Age verification is conducted as part of the standard KYC (Know Your Customer) process. New members are required to provide a valid government-issued identity document — such as a National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence — to confirm they are 21 or older. Accounts that cannot be age-verified will be suspended and any deposited funds returned.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor in your household has registered on ar44, please contact [email protected] immediately. ar44 will investigate the matter promptly and take all necessary action to protect the minor involved.
Additional Support and Guidance
ar44's support team is your first point of contact, but we also encourage members to seek independent professional advice if gambling is causing harm.
Our responsible gaming support team is available 24/7 via email. All conversations are confidential and handled with sensitivity. Write to [email protected] and include "Responsible Gaming" in your subject line.
Opening up to a trusted family member or close friend about a gambling problem can be a powerful first step. The support of people who care about you is one of the most effective tools in recovery.
Licensed mental health professionals and addiction counsellors in Bangladesh can provide structured support for problem gambling. Your local health centre or Dhaka-based mental health clinic can refer you to appropriate services.
Tracking your gambling sessions — including time spent, amounts wagered, and how you felt before and after — can help you identify patterns and triggers. This information is also useful to share with a counsellor.
