The Core Pillars of Responsible Gaming

How Big W Keeps You Safe

Set Personal Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly limits on deposits and bets. Once set, these limits cannot be easily changed.

Cooling-Off Break

If you need a short break, you can temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. No games can be played during this period.

Self-Exclusion Feature

For a long-term break, you can self-exclude for anywhere from 6 months to 5 years. During this period, no promotional emails or advertisements will be sent to you.

Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how long you play in one session. Once the time is up, the platform will automatically remind you to take a break.

Review Gaming Activity

You can view your full gaming history, deposits, and withdrawals at any time. It's the best way to understand your own habits.

Expert Support

If you feel your gaming is getting out of control, Big W's support team and professional counselors are always here for you.

What is responsible gaming?

Responsible gaming isn't just about playing less — it's about treating gaming as entertainment, not a source of income. At Big W, we believe gaming is truly enjoyable only when you play mindfully and within your means.

Responsible gaming comes down to: staying within a set budget, respecting your time limits, accepting wins and losses in stride, and seeking help when gaming starts causing stress.

Big W is committed to keeping every player informed about responsible gaming. Our platform offers a full suite of tools to help you stay in complete control of your gaming habits.

Keep in mind: Gaming is entertainment. Chasing losses with bigger bets is never the answer — it only makes things worse.

Signs of Problematic Gaming

Ask yourself — do any of the following apply to you? If so, it may be time to seek help:

Repeatedly spending beyond your set gaming budget.

Placing more bets to try to "recover" money you've lost.

Hiding your gaming habits from family or friends.

Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gaming.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not playing.

Taking out loans or dipping into savings to fund gaming.

Tried to stop playing but couldn't.

If you're experiencing three or more of the signs above, please reach out to Big W Support or seek professional help right away. There's no shame in it — asking for help takes real courage.

10 Tips for Building Healthy Gaming Habits

Big W wants you to get the most enjoyment out of gaming. Following these simple habits will keep it fun:

  1. Set a budget before you play and never go beyond it.
  2. Treat any losses as the cost of entertainment — don't expect to win it back.
  3. Never play when you're tired, emotionally overwhelmed, or under the influence of alcohol.
  4. Set a time limit before each gaming session and stick to it.
  5. Take regular breaks — at least 10 minutes every hour is a good habit.
  6. Don't let gaming take priority over family or social responsibilities.
  7. Don't chase a winning streak — playing more doesn't mean winning more.
  8. Check your account's gaming history from time to time — it helps you understand your own habits.
  9. Don't hide your gaming from family or friends — being open about it is better for your mental health.
  10. Never hesitate to ask for help when you need it — Big W is always here for you.

If gaming has a positive place in your life — relieving stress, providing entertainment — you're on the right track. Problems arise only when it starts to have a negative impact on your life.

Minor Protection

Big W strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from using the platform. Age is verified at registration and confirmed through identity documents during the KYC process.

Advice for Parents:

  • Use parental control software on your device.
  • Keep your Big W account password out of reach of your children.
  • Use a separate PIN for your internet banking or mobile banking app.
  • Have an open conversation with your children about the risks of online gaming.

If you suspect a minor is using Big W, please support@bigw.betto let us know.

FAQs

No, your balance stays safe when self-exclusion is active. Once the self-exclusion period ends, you can reactivate your account and withdraw your funds. However, you will not be able to play or make new deposits while self-exclusion is in effect.

Yes, decreasing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing it, however, requires a 24-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions.

Cooling-Off is a temporary break lasting from 24 hours up to 6 weeks, after which your account is automatically reactivated. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a longer-term commitment — from 6 months up to 5 years — and cannot be lifted before the period ends.

Beyond Big W's support team, you can also reach out to Bangladesh's mental health helpline or a local counseling center. Our support team is always ready to guide you to the right resources.

No. During self-exclusion, no new account can be created using your identity or phone number. Big W takes self-exclusion seriously and ensures there are no loopholes in this protection.
