Player Wellbeing
Responsible Gaming at aca44
aca44 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all registered players across Bangladesh. Gambling is entertainment — and keeping it that way means having the right tools, clear limits, and honest guidance available to every player, at every stage of their experience on the Platform.
Section 1
Age Restriction Policy
aca44 operates a strict 18+ age policy across the entire Platform. Registration, login, deposits, game play, sports betting, and all other Platform features are available exclusively to adults aged 18 years or older. This policy applies to all players in Bangladesh without exception and reflects our firm commitment to preventing underage gambling.
During the registration process, all players are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older. aca44 enforces this through Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, which requires players to submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as a National ID (NID) card or passport — before any withdrawal can be processed. Accounts where age cannot be verified, or where the registered user is found to be under 18, are permanently closed without delay and any remaining balance is withheld pending investigation.
All deposits made to an account that is subsequently found to belong to a person under 18 years of age will be reported to the relevant authorities and will not be returned as winnings. aca44 takes underage gambling seriously and cooperates fully with any law enforcement inquiry relating to it.
If you suspect that a person under the age of 18 is using the aca44 Platform — whether using their own account or accessing an adult's account without permission — please report this immediately to [email protected]. Include as much detail as possible. All reports are investigated within 24 hours and treated with complete confidentiality.
Section 2
Safe Play Tools
aca44 provides a set of practical player-controlled tools designed to help you stay in command of your gaming activity. These tools are available to every registered account at no cost and can be activated at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. We strongly encourage all players to explore these features and use them proactively — not only in response to a problem, but as a healthy habit from the very start of your time on the Platform.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month in BDT. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately; increases take 7 days to take effect.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you are prepared to lose within a defined period. When your net losses reach the cap you have set, your account is temporarily locked for play until the period resets. This is one of the most effective harm-reduction tools available.
Session Time Limits
Define how long a single play session can last. When your time limit is reached, a notification appears and your session ends automatically. This helps prevent the kind of extended, unplanned play that can escalate spending.
Reality Checks
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 configurable in 15-minute, 30-minute, or 60-minute intervals.
Time-Out Periods
Take a short break from the Platform by activating a time-out of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account remains open but login and play are blocked. You cannot cancel a time-out once it is active.
Self-Exclusion
Request a permanent or long-term suspension of your aca44 account. Self-exclusion periods range from 6 months to a permanent lifetime ban. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Details in Section 3.
How to activate these tools: Log into your aca44 account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming. All tools listed above are available in that menu. If you need assistance activating any tool, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected] — response time is 2–5 minutes on live chat.
Section 3
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available on the aca44 Platform. It is designed for players who feel that they need a firm, enforced break from gambling — not just a reminder or a soft limit. When you self-exclude, aca44 actively blocks your account from all Platform activity for the duration of the chosen period.
Self-exclusion at aca44 is available in the following durations: 6 months, 12 months, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent (lifetime). There is no minimum waiting period to request self-exclusion — it can be requested at any time by any registered player. Once active, self-exclusion cannot be reversed, shortened, or lifted, regardless of the reason. Requests to shorten a self-exclusion period will be refused without exception.
-
1
Request self-exclusion Contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. State clearly that you wish to self-exclude and specify the duration. You may also initiate self-exclusion directly through Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion.
-
2
Confirmation sent within 1 hour aca44 will confirm your self-exclusion request and activate the block on your account within 1 hour of receiving the request. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered email address.
-
3
Account blocked across all access points Your account will be blocked from login via web browser and any other access method. Pending bets placed before self-exclusion are settled normally; any remaining balance is held safely and returned via your registered payment method on request.
-
4
Marketing communications stopped aca44 will immediately suppress all promotional emails, SMS messages, and bonus notifications to your registered contact details for the duration of the self-exclusion period.
-
5
Reinstatement after the period ends For non-permanent self-exclusion, when the chosen period expires, you may contact [email protected] to request account reinstatement. A 48-hour cooling-off period applies before reinstatement is confirmed, giving you time to reconsider.
Section 4
Deposit & Loss Limits
Managing how much money you put into your aca44 account is one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep gambling within your entertainment budget. aca44 supports granular deposit and loss limits in BDT, configurable on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. These limits work in conjunction with your preferred payment methods — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay — to enforce boundaries at the point of transaction.
Daily Deposit Limit
Set the maximum BDT amount you can deposit across all payment methods in a single 24-hour period. The counter resets at midnight BST (UTC+6). Useful for players who tend to make impulsive top-ups late at night.
Effective Immediately on ReductionWeekly Deposit Limit
Cap your total deposits across a Monday-to-Sunday calendar week. A weekly limit is a practical choice for players who receive weekly income and want to allocate a fixed entertainment budget to gaming each week.
7-Day Increase DelayMonthly Deposit Limit
Set a hard ceiling on your total deposits for a calendar month. This is ideal for players who prefer to budget monthly and want a firm guardrail that aligns with their regular financial planning cycle.
7-Day Increase DelayNet Loss Limit
Set the maximum net loss — total wagers minus total winnings — permitted within a given period. When this threshold is reached, your play account is locked for the remainder of the period. This limit directly constrains financial exposure regardless of how you distribute your bets.
Effective Immediately on ReductionKey rule on limit increases: Any request to increase an existing deposit or loss limit takes a minimum of 7 days to take effect. This cooling-off period is intentional — it prevents players from impulsively raising limits during a losing streak. Limit reductions, however, take effect immediately and without any delay.
Section 5
Time-Out & Cooling-Off
Sometimes a player needs a structured break from the Platform without committing to a full self-exclusion. aca44's time-out feature provides exactly that — a temporary, enforced pause in play that gives you space to reassess your relationship with gambling without permanently closing your account.
Time-out periods available on aca44 are: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. During any active time-out period, login to the Platform is blocked. You cannot place bets, make deposits, or access the game lobby. Withdrawal requests for existing balances can still be processed by contacting [email protected] directly. Promotional communications are suspended for the duration of the time-out.
- Time-out activates immediately upon confirmation — there is no delay between your request and the block taking effect.
- Once active, a time-out cannot be shortened or cancelled. You must wait for the full period to elapse before regaining access.
- Time-out does not affect any pending bets placed before the time-out was activated — these will be settled as normal and winnings credited to your account.
- At the end of the time-out period, your account is automatically re-enabled. There is no need to contact support unless you wish to extend the time-out.
- You may request multiple consecutive time-outs. If you find yourself repeatedly requesting time-outs, consider whether a longer self-exclusion period would better serve your needs.
- Time-out requests can be made at any hour — our support team operates 24/7 and can activate a time-out within minutes via live chat.
Section 6
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to identify from the inside. Many players who experience gambling-related harm continue to believe they have their behaviour under control long after the signs have become apparent to others. The questions below are drawn from widely used screening frameworks and are intended to help you reflect honestly on your gambling behaviour. There are no right or wrong answers — only honest ones.
Have you ever gambled with money you needed for essential expenses? This includes rent, food, utility bills, school fees, or loan repayments. If you have ever prioritised gambling spending over household necessities, this is a significant warning sign.
Do you chase losses by placing larger or more frequent bets? "Chasing" — attempting to recover previous losses by continuing to gamble — is one of the clearest behavioural indicators of problem gambling and often accelerates financial harm.
Have you lied to family members or friends about how much you gamble? Concealment of gambling activity — hiding transaction records, lying about where time or money was spent — suggests that you recognise your gambling behaviour as problematic.
Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling? Emotional discomfort when not gambling, or a compulsive urge to return to the Platform even after deciding to stop, are signs of behavioural dependency.
Has gambling caused significant stress, anxiety, or conflict in your relationships? If gambling is regularly a source of argument with family members, or if the stress of losses is affecting your mental health, work, or social life, please seek support.
Have you ever borrowed money specifically to fund gambling activity? Taking loans — from friends, family, banks, or informal lenders — to fund gambling is a clear indicator of financial and behavioural harm that requires immediate attention.
Section 7

Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. Our agents are trained to respond with care and to prioritise your wellbeing over any commercial consideration.
Section 8
Protecting Young People
If you share a device or home network with children or teenagers, we strongly recommend taking additional steps to ensure that young people cannot access the aca44 Platform or any other online gambling site. aca44's own age verification controls are robust, but technology-based parental controls provide an additional layer of protection at the device level.
- Keep your account credentials private. Never share your aca44 username or password with anyone — including family members. Log out of your account when you finish a session, especially on shared devices.
- Use device-level parental controls. Android, iOS, and Windows all include built-in parental control features that allow you to block specific websites or categories of sites. Use these to block gambling-related URLs on any device accessible to children.
- Enable browser-level content filters. Most modern browsers — including Chrome, Firefox, and Samsung Internet — support content restriction extensions and safe browsing modes that can be configured to block adult-only sites.
- Talk to young people about gambling. Open, honest conversations about how gambling works, why it carries risk, and why it is strictly for adults are among the most effective protective measures available to parents and guardians.
- Report suspected underage access immediately. If you believe a minor has accessed the aca44 Platform in any way, contact [email protected] immediately. We treat all such reports as urgent and investigate within 24 hours.
Reminder: aca44 accounts are for adults aged 18 and above only. By accepting our Terms & Conditions, you confirmed that you are at least 18 years old and that you will not allow any person under 18 to use your account or access the Platform through your credentials.
