What does responsible gambling actually mean?

Responsible gambling means treating betting as a limited form of entertainment — not a primary source of income. video2017 believes every user should play mindfully, bet within their means, and seek help when needed.

Many people in Bangladesh get swept up in the excitement of cricket or football and end up betting more than they intended. To help keep that impulse in check, video2017 has developed a set of practical tools to keep you on track.

Remember — there's always a chance of losing when you bet. Only wager money that you can afford to lose without affecting your family or daily life.

  • Betting is for entertainment only — not a substitute for income
  • Don't chase losses by placing more bets
  • Never bet beyond your daily budget
  • Don't hide your betting from family or loved ones
  • Take a break from betting when you're feeling stressed or low

The Core Principles of video2017: We want you to win — but more than that, we want you to be well. If any promotion or bonus is tempting you to go beyond your limits, it's better to skip it.

Strictly prohibited for those under 18: video2017 does not under any circumstances permit minors to register or access gaming. We urge parents to use parental control software at home.

Keep in mind: Responsible gambling is an ongoing commitment. A single decision isn't enough — you need to stay mindful every session.

How to Recognise the Signs of Problem Betting

People often don't realize when their betting habits have gone out of control. video2017 encourages you to regularly check in with yourself. If you notice any of the signs below, it's time to take them seriously.

Financial Warning Signs

  • Continuing to bet even when money is tight at the end of the month
  • Chasing losses by placing bigger and bigger bets
  • Taking out loans or borrowing money from others to fund betting
  • Using savings or emergency funds to place bets

Behavioural & Psychological Warning Signs

  • Hiding your betting activity from family or friends
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities to spend time betting
  • Repeatedly trying to stop betting but failing to do so
  • Treating betting as the only way to relieve stress

If two or three of these signs apply to you, it may indicate problematic betting. Contact the video2017 support team or complete the self-assessment questionnaire below.

How to Use video2017's Responsible Betting Tools

Deposit & Betting Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits at any time from Account Settings. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-down period — a safeguard against impulsive decisions.

This tool is especially useful for those who plan a budget at the start of the month but find themselves overspending by the end.

Cooling-Off & Temporary Break

After a big loss or a stressful period, if you feel like you need a break — activate a cooling-off period. You can temporarily suspend your account for anywhere from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, no login, deposits, or betting will be possible.

Make the most of your time away — spend it with family or pick up something new.

Self-Exclusion Process

Self-exclusion is the strictest protection measure available. Once activated, your account will be fully suspended for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years, and it cannot be reactivated before the period is up. During self-exclusion, you will not receive any promotional emails or advertisements.

Our support team is always on hand to help you through this decision.

Session Tracking & Alerts

Enable the session timer from Profile Settings. Once your set time is up, a pop-up will remind you how long you've been playing. Take a moment to pause and ask yourself — do you really need to keep going?

Research shows that taking occasional breaks makes the overall betting experience more enjoyable.

No, your existing balance is kept safe when you activate self-exclusion. Once the self-exclusion period ends and your account is reactivated, you'll be able to withdraw your balance. Withdrawals are not possible while self-exclusion is active.

If you believe a family member or friend may have a problem, you can report it to video2017 support on their behalf. We'll review their account while maintaining full confidentiality. Speaking to them directly is often the most effective step — raise the issue with empathy, not judgment.

A cooling-off period is a short-term break (1 to 42 days) after which your account is reactivated automatically. Self-exclusion is longer-term and more strict — a minimum of 6 months, and it cannot be lifted before the period ends. Self-exclusion is the right choice for those dealing with serious issues.
