What responsible gaming means

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a healthy form of entertainment — not as a source of income or an escape from problems. 162 places the highest importance on responsible play because we believe that protecting every player is a core duty of any truly quality platform.

Simply put, Responsible Gaming means: spending only what you can afford, keeping the time you spend gaming within reasonable limits, not chasing losses with more bets, and treating gaming as a small part of life's entertainment — not putting it above everything else.

162 believes most people can enjoy gaming in a controlled way. For some, however, gaming can become a problem — this is not a sign of weakness, but a real challenge. 162 is always here to help you face that challenge.

This page covers every aspect of responsible gaming in detail. Using the tools and guidance here, you can keep your gaming experience positive and enjoyable at all times.

Gaming should add colour to your life — not become your whole life. When it brings you joy, it's entertainment. When it starts causing worry, it's time to seek help.

— 162 Responsible Gaming Policy
Keep in Mind: 162 is strictly for users aged 18 and above. Any account found to belong to a minor will be closed immediately.

162's Responsible Gaming Commitment

162 is more than just a gaming platform — we are committed to providing players in Bangladesh with a safe, transparent, and responsible entertainment environment. Toward that goal, 162 is committed to the following.

Age Verification Confirmation
162 enforces a strict KYC process to ensure that only individuals aged 18 and above can create and operate an account. This is not merely a regulatory requirement — it is our ethical responsibility.
Member-Controlled Limit System
Members have full control over setting their own deposit limits, betting limits, and time limits. You decide how much you play.
Gaming Activity Monitoring
162's system monitors for problematic gaming patterns. If unusual behaviour is detected, the member will be alerted and support may reach out if needed.
Easy Self-Exclusion
If you want to take a break from gaming, you can easily activate Self-Exclusion — for a set period or permanently. 162 fully respects this decision.
Non-Judgmental Support
There is no shame in talking about a problem. The 162 support team is ready to help with any responsible gaming concern — without judgment or questions.
No false claims of guaranteed wins
162 never promotes gaming as a guaranteed way to win or as a reliable source of income. In every game, both winning and losing are always possible.

Set gaming limits

Setting limits is the most effective step you can take toward responsible gaming. 162 offers a range of limit options so you always stay in control.

Before setting limits, ask yourself honestly: How much can I comfortably spend on entertainment each month? How many hours of gaming won't interfere with my daily life? Will I genuinely enjoy staying within these limits, or will I feel the urge to exceed them? Set your limits based on those honest answers.

Limit Types Description Why It Helps
Daily Deposit Limit Set the maximum amount in BDT you can deposit each day. Prevents you from going over your daily budget.
Weekly Deposit Limit The total amount you can deposit within a seven-day period. Keeps your weekly spending in check.
Monthly Deposit Limit The maximum total deposit amount allowed within a single calendar month. Helps keep gaming spending in line with your monthly budget.
Session Time Limit A limit on how long you can play in a single session. Prevents excessive time spent gaming and ensures you take regular breaks.
Loss Limit The maximum amount you can lose within a given period. Protects you from chasing losses after a losing streak.
Reality Check Session time and spending reminders at set intervals. Reminds you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
Practical Tips for Setting Limits
  • Set your limits when you are calm and clear-headed — not in the middle of a gaming session.
  • It's easier to lower a limit than to raise one — start conservatively and adjust upward later.
  • Increasing a limit may require a waiting period — this prevents impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.
  • Lowering a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing one takes a little time — this is by design, for your protection.
  • Even after setting limits, review them regularly — as your circumstances change, your limits may need to change too.
Warning: Never set limits in a way that, once reached, affects your basic necessities such as rent, food, or family expenses. Your gaming budget should only come from your discretionary entertainment budget.

Self-Exclusion Process

Self-exclusion means making your own decision to take a break from gaming on 162 — for a set period or permanently. It takes courage, not weakness. 162 fully respects this decision and acts on it as quickly as possible.

During self-exclusion, 162 will not allow you to log in to your account. No promotional or bonus communications will be sent during the exclusion period. If you somehow gain access and encounter wins or losses during an active exclusion, 162 reserves the right to consider any activity during that period void.

Temporary Break

  • 24-Hour Break — for just one day.
  • 7-Day Break — one week.
  • 30-Day Break — one month.
  • 90-Day Break — Three months.
  • 6-Month Break — Extended break.

Your account is automatically reactivated once the break period ends.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

  • The account is permanently closed.
  • Opening a new account will not be possible in the future.
  • All marketing communications will be stopped.
  • Any remaining balance will be arranged for withdrawal.
  • This decision is very difficult to reverse.

Submit your request to [email protected].

Steps to Activate Self-Exclusion

1
In your email, include your account email address, how long you want the break to last, and write "Self-Exclusion Request" in the subject line.
2
Identity Verification
The identity of the person making the request may be verified for security purposes. This is a normal part of the process.
3
Account closure confirmed
Once the request is processed, a confirmation email will be sent and your account will be closed.
4
Make Use of Your Breaks
Use this time to spend with family and friends, explore new hobbies, or seek professional help if needed.

Information for Family & Loved Ones

Often, the first signs of problematic gaming are noticed by family or friends. If someone close to you seems to be gaming excessively, the information on this page may be helpful.

If you think a loved one is struggling, talk to them calmly and without judgment. Blame or anger will only make them more secretive. Try saying: "I'm worried about you because I care about you." That approach makes a far bigger difference.

You can also email [email protected] for guidance on how to help a loved one — 162's team is ready to assist in Bangla.

What to Do

  • Share your concerns without fear of judgement.
  • Encourage seeking professional help.
  • Acknowledge and encourage even small steps toward change.
  • Take care of your own mental wellbeing too.
  • Join them in other leisure activities.

What to avoid

  • Avoid blaming or shaming.
  • Do not make gaming easier by providing financial support.
  • Don't force a solution on them.
  • Don't try to hide the problem.
  • Reach out for help rather than trying to handle everything on your own.

Minor Protection

162 is for users aged 18 and above only. Keeping minors away from gaming is a core responsibility at 162. Age is verified through the KYC process — but family members should stay vigilant as well.

If there are children or teenagers in your home: never share your 162 account password with younger family members. Do not leave your device unattended while logged in. Enable parental controls or screen time limits on your device. Always log out after each session.

If 162 identifies an underage member, the account is immediately closed and all collected data is deleted. If you suspect a minor is using 162, report it right away at [email protected].

Practical Device Security Tips
  • Use a strong PIN or biometric lock on your phone.
  • Avoid saving your 162 password in your browser.
  • Always use the "Log Out" button at the end of a session — don't just close the browser.
  • It's best not to use 162 on devices that children have access to.
  • Use Digital Wellbeing on Android or Screen Time on iOS to set app restrictions.

Daily Responsible Gaming Habits

Following these habits before and after every session at 162 will keep gaming enjoyable at all times.

Before You Start Gaming

  • Decide in advance how much time and money you are willing to spend today.
  • Avoid gaming when you are tired, feeling low, or under stress.
  • Avoid gaming under the influence of alcohol or any substance.
  • Finish all other important tasks before you start gaming.
  • Remember — gaming is for entertainment, not income.

After gaming

  • Check whether you have been sticking to your planned limits.
  • Don't log back in to chase a loss — save it for another day.
  • Log out of your account.
  • Spend quality time with family and friends.
  • If you find yourself thinking about gaming too much, redirect your attention to something else.
Only spend what you can afford

If you feel you have a problem, take action immediately. 162 is always here to support you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions?

Here are detailed answers to the questions 162 users ask most often.

There are generally two ways to update personal information on your 162 account.

From Account Settings: After logging in, go to "Account Settings" or the "Profile" section. If there is an option to update contact details such as your email or phone number, you can make the change directly. After saving, a confirmation code may be sent to your new email or phone — use it to verify the update.

Via Support: To change identity-related information such as your name or date of birth, you will generally need to submit a written request to [email protected], as this information is linked to KYC verification and re-verification may be required. In your request, include your account email, what you would like to change, and the new details.

Take extra care when changing your phone number — for security, a verification code may be sent to both your old and new number. If you run into any issues, contact support directly.

Odds tell you how much you will get back if your bet on a particular outcome wins. 162 generally uses the Decimal odds format — it is the easiest to understand.

How to Read Decimal Odds:
If the odds are 2.50 If you place a ৳100 bet, your return on a win would be: 100 × 2.50 = ৳250. This includes both your original stake (৳100) and your profit (৳150).

More examples:
  • Odds 1.50 → ৳100 returns ৳150 (profit ৳50)
  • Odds 3.00 → ৳100 returns ৳300 (profit ৳200)
  • Odds 1.20 → Stake ৳100, return ৳120 (profit ৳20)

What do lower or higher odds mean? Low odds (e.g. 1.30) mean the outcome is considered more likely — so your payout will be smaller if you win. High odds (e.g. 5.00) mean the outcome is less likely, but the payout is much larger if you win.

Remember — betting at higher odds means higher risk. From a Responsible Gaming perspective, always bet within your means, no matter how attractive the odds may look.
