What is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means adopting a mindset and habits where gaming or betting is purely for entertainment — not to escape financial pressure or chase losses. At 77cb, we believe every player deserves a safe, transparent, and controlled gaming environment.
Online gaming is growing in popularity across Bangladesh, but for some it is having a negative impact on daily life. We want everyone who plays on our platform to stay in control at all times and ensure gaming never harms their family or financial wellbeing.
Core Principles of Responsible Gaming
- Set a Budget: Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend per session and stick to that limit.
- Time Awareness: Decide in advance how long you'll play and use an alarm or timer to keep track.
- Never chase losses: Do not chase losses by placing bigger bets — it only makes things worse.
- Healthy Mindset: Avoid gaming when you are stressed, feeling low, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Regular Breaks: Take regular breaks instead of playing for long stretches at a time.
- Family & Friends: Spend quality time with your loved ones and stay mindful that gaming does not affect your relationships.
Signs of Problem Gaming
Problem gaming can creep up without you noticing. Watch out for these warning signs:

| Loss of Focus at Work | Gaming Affecting Work or Studies | Medium |
| Playing in Secret | Hiding gaming habits from family | Medium |
| Neglecting Sleep and Meals | Giving Up Healthy Habits for Gaming | Medium |
| Irritability | Feeling Restless or Irritable When Not Playing | General |
77cb Protection Tools
77cb provides several effective tools to promote responsible gaming on our platform. Use them to stay in control of your own gaming experience.
Deposit Limit
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap. Lowering the limit takes effect immediately, but increasing it requires a 7-day waiting period — to prevent impulsive decisions.
Loss Limit
Your session will automatically end once you reach a set loss amount. This protects you from financial harm and prevents chasing losses in the heat of the moment.
Session Limit
Set a maximum time limit for each gaming session. You will receive an alert when the time is up, and the session can be ended automatically if you choose.
Cooling-Off Period
Temporarily suspend your account for 1 to 7 days. You will not be able to log in during this time. A short break can often prevent a bigger problem from developing.
Self-Exclusion
Deactivate your account for 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. No promotional messages will be sent while Self-Exclusion is active.
Reality Check
A pop-up will appear at set intervals showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost in BDT.
Minor Protection
77cb is strictly for users aged 18 and above. Protecting minors from gambling is one of our highest priorities.
How We Verify Age
- Date of birth is collected at the time of registration.
- KYC verification with a government-issued ID (NID/Passport) is required before significant transactions.
- Suspicious accounts may be subject to additional verification at any time.
- Withdrawal is unavailable until verification is complete.
Advice for Parents
If there are minors in your household, it's a good idea to take the following precautions:
- Install parental control software on your devices.
- Always keep your gaming account password and login details secure.
- Keep payment apps on your device secure and protected.
- Avoid using gaming apps in front of children.
Self-Assessment Test
Be honest with yourself. If three or more of the following questions apply to you, consider reaching out for help.
Do you regularly spend beyond your set budget?
Do you place more bets after a loss to try to win back what you lost?
Hiding your gaming habits from family or friends?
Do you feel restless or anxious when you're told to stop gaming?
Have you borrowed money or sold valuables to fund your gaming?
Do you find gaming more important than work, family, or your health?
