Responsible Gaming at tt1971

1 Our Commitment to Safe Play

tt1971 was built on the principle that online gaming should be an entertaining leisure activity — not a source of financial hardship or personal distress. Our responsible gaming programme is not an afterthought; it is embedded into the architecture of the platform from the ground up. Every product decision, every promotional campaign, and every customer interaction is evaluated against our duty of care to the players who trust us.

We recognise that a small percentage of people who gamble will develop patterns of behaviour that cause harm to themselves or to those around them. Problem gambling is a recognised health condition, and tt1971 takes its responsibility to identify, support, and protect at-risk players seriously. Our team receives ongoing training in recognising the signs of problem gambling and in responding with empathy and appropriate action.

This page explains in full the tools, policies, and external support channels available to all tt1971 players in Bangladesh. We encourage every player — regardless of how casually they play — to read this page and to make use of the limit-setting tools available in their account.

2 Age Restriction & Verification

tt1971 operates an absolute minimum age policy. No person under the age of 18 may register an account, deposit funds, or participate in any betting or gaming activity on the tt1971 platform. This policy applies equally to all players regardless of their location within Bangladesh.

2.1 Age Verification Process

All new tt1971 accounts are subject to age verification as part of our standard Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Players will be prompted to submit a copy of a valid government-issued identity document that clearly shows their full name and date of birth. Accepted documents include the Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), a valid passport, or a driving licence issued by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).

Until age verification is complete, withdrawals from the account will be held in a pending state. Deposits are accepted during this period, but tt1971 reserves the right to suspend access and return funds to the depositing payment method if verification fails or is not completed within a reasonable timeframe.

2.2 Protecting Minors

tt1971 strongly recommends that account holders who share devices with family members, including children or teenagers, take steps to prevent underage access to the tt1971 platform. Practical steps include enabling device-level PIN or biometric locks, using separate browser profiles, logging out of your tt1971 account after each session, and never saving login credentials on shared devices.

A number of parental control tools and internet filtering applications are available in Bangladesh that can block access to gambling websites at the network or device level. tt1971 supports the use of these tools by families and encourages parents and guardians to be proactive in preventing underage exposure to online gambling content.

3 Deposit & Spending Limits

One of the most effective tools for responsible gaming is setting a budget and sticking to it. tt1971 provides flexible deposit and spending limit controls that allow you to define exactly how much money you are willing to commit to gaming activity over a given period. These limits are available to all players regardless of their account history or VIP status.

3.1 Types of Limits Available

• Daily Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit via any payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank transfer) within a rolling 24-hour period.
• Weekly Deposit Limit: The maximum total deposit amount across any 7-day rolling window, calculated from the moment the limit is set.
• Monthly Deposit Limit: A cap on total deposits within any 30-day rolling period. This is the broadest limit and is recommended for players who prefer a single monthly budget.
• Loss Limit: The maximum net loss you are willing to sustain within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once this figure is reached, you will be locked out of wagering until the limit period resets.
• Wager Limit: A cap on the total stakes placed (rather than deposited) within a defined period. Useful for players who predominantly bet with bonus funds or existing balances.

3.2 How to Set Limits

All limit controls are accessible from your tt1971 account dashboard under Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit & Spending Limits. Select the limit type, enter the amount in BDT (Bangladeshi Taka), and choose the period. The limit takes effect immediately after confirmation.

3.3 Changing or Removing Limits

You may decrease a limit at any time and the reduced limit will take effect immediately. Increases to existing limits, or requests to remove a limit entirely, are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the change takes effect. This delay is an intentional protective mechanism — it gives you time to reconsider a decision made in the heat of a gaming session. If you change your mind during the cooling-off period, you can cancel the increase request and your original limit will remain in force.

4 Time-Out & Cool-Off Tools

Sometimes all a player needs is a short, structured break from the platform. tt1971's time-out feature provides exactly that — a temporary account suspension that can be activated in seconds from your account settings, without any need to contact customer support.

4.1 Available Time-Out Periods

• 24-Hour Time-Out: A brief pause for players who feel they have had an intense session and want to step back for a day.
• 48-Hour Time-Out: A standard two-day break, allowing space for reflection without committing to a longer absence.
• 7-Day Time-Out: A one-week break, suitable for players who feel they have been gambling more frequently than they intended.
• 30-Day Time-Out: A full month's break, appropriate for players who recognise a pattern of excessive play and want a meaningful cooling-off period before reassessing their habits.

4.2 What Happens During a Time-Out

During an active time-out period, your account is suspended in the following ways: you cannot log in to your account from any device; you cannot make deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or any other payment channel; you cannot place sports bets or play any casino game; any pending free bets or bonus offers will be paused and reinstated when the time-out expires. Your account balance is fully preserved and remains accessible for withdrawal once the time-out period concludes.

4.3 Early Cancellation Policy

Time-out periods of 24 or 48 hours may be cancelled early by contacting our support team, subject to a minimum reflection period of 12 hours from the time the time-out was activated. Time-out periods of 7 days or 30 days cannot be cancelled early — they must run their full course. This policy exists to ensure that the time-out tool functions as a genuine protective mechanism and not simply as a pause button that can be reversed impulsively.

5 Self-Exclusion Programme

Self-exclusion is tt1971's most comprehensive player protection tool. It is designed for players who have concluded — or who suspect — that their gambling has become harmful, and who need a firm, enforceable barrier between themselves and the platform for an extended period.

5.1 Self-Exclusion Periods

Players can choose from the following self-exclusion durations:

• 6 Months: The minimum self-exclusion period. Suitable for players seeking a structured extended break with a defined end date.
• 1 Year: A full year's exclusion, recommended for players who have experienced one or more episodes of significant gambling-related harm.
• 3 Years: An extended exclusion for players with a sustained pattern of problem gambling behaviour who need long-term support.
• Permanent Exclusion: An indefinite exclusion with no expiry date. This option is available for players who determine that they wish to stop gambling on tt1971 permanently. A permanent exclusion cannot be lifted at any future date.

5.2 How to Activate Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion can be activated in two ways. The fastest method is via Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion, where you can select your preferred period and confirm the exclusion with a single click. Alternatively, you can request self-exclusion by contacting our support team at [email protected] — a support agent will action the exclusion on your behalf within one hour of receiving a verified request.

5.3 What Self-Exclusion Covers

Once a self-exclusion is active, the following actions are prohibited and technically blocked at the platform level:

• Logging in to your existing tt1971 account from any device or browser.
• Creating a new tt1971 account under the same or a different identity (doing so is a breach of our Terms & Conditions and any funds in such accounts will be forfeited).
• Receiving promotional marketing emails, SMS messages, or push notifications from tt1971.
• Making deposits or placing bets through any channel.

Any balance remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your nominated payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account) within 5 business days, minus any pending wagering requirements on active bonuses, which will be voided.

5.4 Returning After Self-Exclusion

For fixed-period self-exclusions (6 months, 1 year, 3 years), players who wish to return to the platform after the exclusion period has fully expired must submit a formal reinstatement request to [email protected]. The account will not reopen automatically. Our responsible gaming team will conduct a review before reinstating access, which may include a brief wellbeing check. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed under any circumstances.

6 Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. Many people who experience gambling-related harm do not identify it as a problem until it has already caused significant financial, emotional, or social damage. Awareness of the warning signs is the first step toward getting help.

6.1 Behavioural Warning Signs

The following patterns of behaviour may indicate that gambling has moved from a recreational activity to a problematic one:

• Spending more time or money gambling than you originally intended, repeatedly and despite resolving to stop.
• Gambling with money set aside for essential expenses such as rent, bills, groceries, or family needs.
• Increasing your stake sizes or frequency of play in order to experience the same level of excitement.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling or when you try to cut back.
• Returning to gambling after a loss with the intention of "winning back" the money you have lost (known as chasing losses).
• Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to fund gambling activity.
• Neglecting work, study, family responsibilities, or personal health because of time spent gambling.
• Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, loneliness, depression, or other emotional difficulties.

6.2 Financial Warning Signs

• Unexplained gaps in bank statements or mobile wallet (bKash, Nagad, Rocket) transaction histories.
• Difficulty meeting routine financial commitments that were previously manageable.
• Multiple deposits in rapid succession, particularly late at night or in the early hours of the morning.
• Making deposits immediately after receiving salary, bKash transfers, or other income.

The checklist below is adapted from internationally recognised problem gambling screening tools. Read each statement carefully and consider honestly whether it applies to you. This is for your personal reflection only — your responses are not recorded or shared with tt1971.
