Our Commitment to Safe Gaming
At 9a99, we believe that betting and casino games should be a source of entertainment — not financial stress, emotional harm, or personal hardship. As Bangladesh's leading online betting and casino platform, we take our duty of care to every registered player seriously. Responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox for us; it is a core value embedded in how we design our platform, train our staff, and engage with our community of players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and every other corner of Bangladesh.
9a99 operates on the principle that sustainable, long-term entertainment is only possible when players feel safe, informed, and genuinely in control of their gambling activity. We invest continuously in tools, processes, and partnerships that make it easier for players to set boundaries, take breaks, and seek help if gambling stops being fun.
We recognise that a small proportion of the population may develop problematic gambling behaviour, regardless of the platform they use. Our responsible gaming programme is built to identify early warning signs, provide accessible self-management tools, and connect at-risk players with professional support before problems escalate. If you are reading this page because you are concerned about your own gambling — or the gambling of someone you care about — please know that you are in the right place and that help is available.
Age Restriction & Verification
9a99 operates a strict 18+ age policy. Gambling is legal only for adults aged 18 years and above. We do not knowingly permit any person under the age of 18 to register an account, make a deposit, or place a bet on the 9a99 platform. This requirement applies equally to all players across Bangladesh, regardless of the game type, betting market, or payment method used.
How We Verify Age
Every new 9a99 account is subject to a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process before the first withdrawal is processed. During this process, players are required to submit a valid government-issued identity document, such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport, which confirms date of birth. Accounts where age cannot be verified remain restricted from withdrawals and high-stakes play until verification is successfully completed.
Protecting Under-18s at Home
If you share your device with younger family members, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions to prevent accidental or deliberate access to gambling content:
- Always log out of your 9a99 account when you are not actively using it.
- Do not save your password in a browser on a shared device.
- Enable parental control or content-filtering software on shared devices and home internet routers.
- Keep your 9a99 account credentials strictly private — do not share your username or password with anyone, including friends or family members.
- If a minor has accessed your account, contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
Responsible Gaming Tools
9a99 provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that give you direct, real-time control over your gambling activity. All tools are available free of charge to every registered player and can be activated or adjusted through your account settings at any time. Changes to limits that increase your spending take effect after a 24-hour cooling period; reductions take effect immediately.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you are willing to lose within a set time period. Protects your bankroll during losing streaks without requiring manual intervention.
Wager Limits
Restrict the maximum stake per individual bet or game round, keeping your wagering activity within a comfortable range at all times.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When the limit is reached, your session ends automatically and you are logged out of the platform.
Reality Check
Receive a pop-up notification at intervals you choose (e.g., every 30, 60, or 90 minutes) showing your net win/loss for the session and total time played.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from gambling — choose a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is suspended for deposits and betting during this time.
How to Activate These Tools
All responsible gaming tools are accessible from the Responsible Gaming section within your 9a99 account settings. If you encounter any difficulty activating a tool or require assistance setting appropriate limits, our support team is available 24/7 at [email protected] and will help you configure the right settings for your situation without any judgment.
Self-Exclusion Programme
If you feel that your gambling has become difficult to control, or if you simply want to take an extended break from betting and casino games, 9a99's self-exclusion programme allows you to block access to your account for a defined period or permanently. Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available for players who need a complete break.
Self-Exclusion Options
- Short-Term Exclusion (1–6 months): Your account is fully suspended for deposits, bets, and logins for the duration you select. You may request reinstatement at the end of the exclusion period, subject to a mandatory 24-hour reflection period.
- Long-Term Exclusion (6 months – 5 years): Extended exclusion for players who need a substantial break. Reinstatement requests are subject to additional review and a 7-day reflection period.
- Permanent Self-Exclusion: Your 9a99 account is permanently closed. All promotional communications are stopped immediately. Any remaining balance will be returned via your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, or bank transfer) after identity verification. This option is irreversible.
What Happens During Self-Exclusion
- Your account is immediately suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets.
- All marketing and promotional emails and SMS messages are stopped within 24 hours.
- Any pending withdrawals at the time of exclusion are processed normally to your registered account.
- Your account data is retained securely in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.
- Attempting to create a new account during a self-exclusion period is a violation of our Terms & Conditions and will result in closure of the new account.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
To initiate self-exclusion, contact our responsible gaming team at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered account username or email address and your preferred exclusion period. Our team will process your request within 2 hours of receipt, around the clock.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. Many people who develop a gambling problem do not recognise it in themselves until it has already caused significant harm. The following self-assessment questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your gambling behaviour. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, we encourage you to contact our support team or seek help from a professional counselling service.
Self-Assessment: Is Your Gambling Still Under Control?
Read each question and reflect honestly on your gambling behaviour over the past 3 months.
Do you spend more time or money gambling than you originally intended when you started a session?
Have you ever lied to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much you gamble or how much you have lost?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling?
Do you gamble to escape from problems, stress, anxiety, depression, or feelings of loneliness?
Have you ever "chased losses" — that is, returned to gambling to try to win back money you have already lost?
Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, your work, or your financial situation?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling activity?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are doing other activities — planning your next session or replaying past bets in your mind?
Warning Signs in Others
If you are concerned about a family member or friend, the following behavioural changes may indicate a developing gambling problem:
- Unexplained financial difficulties, requests to borrow money, or unpaid bills.
- Secretive or defensive behaviour around money and mobile phone use.
- Withdrawal from social activities and family commitments.
- Mood swings — particularly anxiety before gambling and depression after losses.
- Neglecting work, studies, or household responsibilities in favour of gambling.
- Selling personal belongings or appearing to have unexplained cash.
If you recognise these signs in someone close to you, approach the conversation with empathy and without blame. Encouraging them to speak with a professional counsellor or contact 9a99 support on their behalf can make a significant difference.
Protecting Vulnerable Players
9a99 takes additional steps to identify and protect players who may be in a vulnerable situation. Vulnerability can arise from a range of circumstances, including mental health challenges, financial hardship, bereavement, addiction history, or simply a difficult period in life. Our responsible gaming monitoring systems analyse behavioural patterns to detect early indicators of distress, and our support team is trained to respond with sensitivity and practical assistance.
Our Vulnerability Policy
- Players who show signs of chasing losses or rapidly increasing their deposit frequency will receive a proactive outreach from our team.
- Accounts with unusual activity patterns may be temporarily restricted pending a responsible gaming review — this is a protective measure, not a punitive one.
- Players who disclose financial difficulty or mental health concerns to our support team will be referred to appropriate resources and offered account restrictions without delay.
- 9a99 does not send targeted promotional bonuses to players who have previously requested responsible gaming interventions or who are in an active cool-off period.
- All responsible gaming support interactions are handled in strict confidence and do not affect a player's standing or account status beyond the protective measures requested.
Support & Help Resources
If you believe gambling is becoming a problem — for yourself or for someone you know — please do not hesitate to reach out for help. The following types of professional support are available to players in Bangladesh and internationally. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Types of Support Available
- Counselling and Therapy: Speaking with a trained counsellor who specialises in behavioural addictions can provide practical coping strategies, help identify underlying triggers, and support recovery. Many counsellors in Bangladesh offer confidential sessions in person or via phone.
- Support Groups: Peer support groups — such as those modelled on the Gamblers Anonymous programme — bring together people with shared experiences. Hearing from others who have successfully managed gambling problems can be a powerful motivator for change.
- Financial Counselling: If gambling has caused financial difficulties, speaking with a financial counsellor can help you understand your options, manage debt, and create a realistic plan for recovery. Many such services are available at low or no cost.
- Mental Health Support: If gambling has contributed to anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges, speaking with a medical professional is important. Your general physician can provide a referral to appropriate mental health services.
- Family Support: Families affected by problem gambling can also access dedicated support. Organisations focused on family counselling can help loved ones understand and respond to gambling-related challenges in a healthy, constructive way.
Healthy Gambling Habits — A Quick Guide
- Treat gambling purely as entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.
- Set a strict budget before you start and stick to it — never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Take regular breaks during gaming sessions and never play when tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Never chase losses — accept that losses are part of the game and walk away when your session budget is spent.
- Balance gambling with other hobbies, social activities, and time with family and friends.
- Keep track of how much time and money you spend gambling — use the activity history in your 9a99 account to stay informed.
- If gambling stops being fun, stop. Use our cool-off tools or contact support immediately.
