What Does Responsible Gaming Mean?

Responsible gaming means keeping gaming a source of entertainment — without causing financial strain or mental stress. At Wicket 17, we believe every player should know their limits and enjoy the experience within them.

Many people in Bangladesh start playing online games purely for fun, but some can fall into the trap of excessive gaming. Wicket 17 takes this issue seriously and is committed to helping every member build healthy gaming habits.

Is Gaming Just Entertainment — or Is It a Problem?

Online gaming and Sports Betting are meant for entertainment. Some people mistakenly treat them as a source of income — that's simply not the case. Consistent earnings from gaming are not realistic. Problems begin when someone starts playing to chase losses or to solve financial difficulties.

Wicket 17 is clear about one thing: gaming is for entertainment only. If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your life, please reach out to us right away.

The Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming

  • Only play with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.
  • See gaming as entertainment, not as a way to earn money.
  • Family, friends, and work always come before gaming.
  • Do not chase your losses by playing more after a losing session.
  • Take regular breaks and spend time on activities outside of gaming.
  • Do not play while drinking or under emotional stress.
  • Review your gaming budget and time spent every month.
  • Never allow minors or underage individuals to access your account.

Remember, winning at Wicket 17 is a bonus — the real purpose is enjoyment. After every session, ask yourself: "Am I still having fun?"

How to Set Your Limits

The most effective way to game responsibly is to set your limits before you start. You can easily do this from your account settings at Wicket 17, and our support team is ready to help you through the process.

Limits take effect immediately once set. To increase a limit, a 24–72 hour cooling-off period is required — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Common Questions About Responsible Gaming

Questions You Might Have

Yes, lowering or setting a new deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period of 24 to 72 hours. This waiting period is intentional, to prevent decisions made impulsively in the moment.

Yes, your balance remains completely safe during self-exclusion. Once the exclusion period ends, you can log back in to withdraw your balance or resume playing. Accessing your account before the exclusion period expires is not possible.

You can reach out to the Wicket 17 support team. We also guide family members on how to support a loved one who is struggling. Avoid judgmental conversations — approach them with patience and empathy, and encourage them to seek professional help.

When Reality Check is enabled, a pop-up will appear at set intervals (for example, every 30 minutes or 1 hour) showing your session duration and a summary of your wins and losses. From there, you can choose to end the session or keep playing.

No. As soon as self-exclusion is activated, all promotional emails will stop immediately. SMS and push notifications will also be turned off. We believe that no gaming communication during this period is the responsible thing to do.
