Play Smart, Stay Safe
Responsible Gaming at 999dt

Gaming is entertainment — and 999dt is fully committed to keeping it that way. This page outlines the tools, safeguards, and support channels available to every player on the 999dt platform to help you stay in control of your gaming activity at all times.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At 999dt, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core principle woven into every aspect of how the platform is built and operated. We believe that gambling, when approached responsibly, is a legitimate and enjoyable form of entertainment for adults across Bangladesh. Our goal is to ensure that every player who chooses 999dt for cricket betting, live casino games, slots, or any other product on the platform does so freely, informedly, and within their personal means.

999dt operates as a player-first platform. This means we invest actively in the tools, policies, and trained support personnel needed to identify early signs of harmful gambling behaviour and to intervene constructively. We are committed to transparency — we will never obscure the risks associated with gambling, and we actively encourage players to use the responsible gaming tools available on the platform at any time, without penalty or judgment.

Our responsible gaming programme covers four key pillars: Prevention (age verification and account eligibility checks), Player Empowerment (self-managed limits and time-out tools), Early Intervention (behavioural monitoring and proactive outreach), and Support Access (direct referral to professional counselling services). Each pillar is described in detail in the sections below.

If you feel that gambling is no longer a form of entertainment for you and has become a source of distress, financial hardship, or compulsion, please contact our responsible gaming support team immediately. Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Prevention First

Strict age verification during registration ensures only adults aged 18 and above can access the 999dt platform. Our KYC process cross-checks identity documents to prevent underage access.

Player Empowerment

Every registered player has direct access to self-managed responsible gaming tools — including deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, session time-outs, and reality checks — all configurable from the account settings panel.

Early Intervention

999dt's platform monitors account activity patterns for indicators of potentially harmful behaviour. Where such patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team will reach out directly via email or live chat to offer support and resources.

24/7 Support Access

Our dedicated support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. For players seeking specialist help, we provide direct referrals to professional gambling counselling services and helplines.

Marketing Controls

Players can opt out of all promotional communications at any time. Players who have activated self-exclusion or cooling-off periods will be automatically suppressed from all bonus and campaign marketing lists for the duration of their restriction.

Self-Exclusion Programme

Players who feel they need a complete break from gambling can self-exclude from 999dt for a defined period — or permanently. Self-exclusion is enforced immediately and without question. See the dedicated section below for full details.

Age Restriction — 18+ Policy

999dt operates exclusively for adults. You must be at least 18 years of age to register an account, deposit funds, or participate in any game or betting activity on the 999dt platform. This policy is enforced without exception and applies equally to all players across Bangladesh, regardless of the device or payment method used.

During registration, all players are required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older by accepting the Terms & Conditions. Following registration, 999dt conducts identity verification (KYC) checks to confirm the age and identity of all players before processing withdrawals or granting access to higher account tiers. KYC documentation accepted includes the Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), a valid passport, or another government-issued identity document confirming date of birth.

Where 999dt has reasonable grounds to suspect that a player may be under the age of 18, the account will be suspended immediately pending a full identity review. Any funds deposited by a player subsequently confirmed to be under 18 will be returned via the original deposit method, and the account will be permanently closed in accordance with our eligibility policy.

Protecting Minors: If you are aware of a minor accessing the 999dt platform, please report this immediately to our support team at [email protected]. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and will act on all reports without delay. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites on shared devices.
Parental Control Software

Parents and guardians in Bangladesh who share devices with children are strongly encouraged to install filtering software that blocks access to online gambling platforms. Many free and paid solutions are available for Android, iOS, and desktop devices to prevent unauthorised access.

Secure Your Account

Always log out of your 999dt account when using a shared device. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS-OTP from your account security settings to prevent unauthorised logins. Never share your password or OTP code with anyone, including family members.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling — sometimes referred to as gambling disorder — is a recognised condition in which a person's gambling behaviour causes significant distress or harm to themselves or those around them. It can develop gradually over time and may not be immediately obvious to the person affected. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward regaining control.

The following behaviours are commonly associated with problem gambling. This list is not exhaustive, and the presence of one or more of these signs does not automatically indicate a gambling disorder — but if several of these descriptions feel familiar, we strongly encourage you to use the self-assessment checklist in the next section and to consider contacting our support team or a specialist helpline.

  • Spending more time or money gambling than originally intended, even after deciding to stop or cut down.
  • Chasing losses — returning to gamble again shortly after a losing session in an attempt to win back money lost.
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems rather than purely for entertainment.
  • Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the amount of time or money spent on gambling.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting financial obligations (such as rent, bills, or family expenses) in order to fund gambling activity.
  • Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or at home due to time spent gambling or thinking about gambling.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to reduce or stop gambling — similar to withdrawal-type symptoms.
  • Repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling despite a genuine desire to do so.
  • Preoccupation with gambling — frequently thinking about past gambling experiences, planning the next session, or calculating how to obtain funds for gambling.
You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling is more common than many people realise, and it affects people across all backgrounds and income levels. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 999dt's support team and the external helplines listed in this page are here to help — confidentially and without judgment.

Self-Assessment Checklist

The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible gaming self-assessment frameworks. Answer honestly — your responses are for your own reflection only and are not submitted to or monitored by 999dt. If you answer "Yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly recommend reaching out to our support team or a specialist gambling helpline for a confidential conversation.

Q01 Have you ever gambled with money you could not afford to lose — such as money set aside for rent, food, bills, or family expenses?
Q02 Have you ever felt the need to gamble with larger and larger amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement?
Q03 Have you ever gone back to gamble another day to try and win back money you had previously lost (chasing losses)?
Q04 Have you ever lied to someone close to you — a family member, partner, or friend — about how much time or money you spend gambling?
Q05 Have you ever felt anxious, restless, irritable, or low in mood when you tried to cut down on gambling or stop entirely?
Q06 Have you ever used gambling as a way to escape personal problems, feelings of loneliness, boredom, depression, or anxiety?
Q07 Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, studies, or important family or social commitments?
Q08 Have you ever borrowed money, sold personal belongings, or used savings you did not intend to use in order to fund gambling?
Q09 Have you ever tried to stop or cut back on gambling and found that you were unable to do so, despite genuinely wanting to?
Q10 Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — replaying past bets, planning future sessions, or calculating how to obtain funds — even when you are not actively gambling?
If three or more of the above questions resonate with you, please do not ignore these signals. Contact our responsible gaming team via live chat or at [email protected], or reach out to a specialist helpline listed in the "Getting Help and Support" section below. Early intervention significantly improves outcomes.

Player Protection Tools

999dt provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that every registered player can access and configure independently at any time through their account settings panel. These tools are designed to give you direct, practical control over your gambling activity — without requiring you to contact support or explain your reasons for using them.

All limits set through these tools take effect immediately upon confirmation. Requests to increase an existing limit are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before they become active, giving you time to reconsider. Requests to decrease a limit take effect immediately with no delay.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be processed until the period resets. You can set deposit limits in BDT across all supported payment methods, including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay. Example: set a daily deposit limit of ৳2,000 to ensure your gambling spend stays within your entertainment budget.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss amount over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. If your net losses reach the limit during that period, your account will be temporarily restricted from placing further wagers until the period resets. Loss limits are calculated in real time based on your total wager activity and winnings across all 999dt products — cricket betting, casino, and slots included.

Wager / Stake Limits

Set a maximum stake per bet or spin. This tool is particularly useful for players who enjoy slots or live casino products and wish to prevent themselves from placing high-value individual wagers during an extended session. Wager limits apply per transaction and are enforced across all game types on the platform.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum continuous play session duration. When the limit is reached, your session will be ended and you will be logged out automatically. You can configure session limits from 30 minutes to 8 hours. This tool is designed to prevent extended, unplanned gambling sessions — a common factor in the development of harmful gambling patterns.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and provide a brief summary of your net win/loss position during that session. Reality checks can be set to appear every 15, 30, or 60 minutes. When a reality check notification appears, you can choose to continue playing or end your session — the choice is always yours.

Cooling-Off / Time-Out

Take a short break from gambling without committing to a full self-exclusion. A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to place bets or deposits for a period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you can still log in to view your account history and request a withdrawal of any remaining balance, but all wagering activity is blocked.

Limit reductions are always instant; limit increases are subject to the 7-day cooling-off period described above.

Self-Exclusion Programme

Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming measure available on 999dt and is intended for players who feel they need a complete and enforced break from gambling. When you self-exclude, your 999dt account is fully suspended for the duration you select — all access to betting, casino games, slots, and deposits is blocked. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires, regardless of circumstance.

999dt offers the following self-exclusion durations:

  • 6 Months — a medium-term break for players who need time to reassess their gambling habits.
  • 1 Year — a longer enforced break with a mandatory counselling check-in recommendation at the 6-month point.
  • 3 Years — an extended exclusion for players with a more significant history of harmful gambling.
  • Permanent (Lifetime) — a permanent, irrevocable closure of the account. This option cannot be reversed under any circumstances. Players who self-exclude permanently will not be permitted to re-register on the 999dt platform at any point in the future.

Self-exclusion can be requested directly from the "Responsible Gaming" section of your account settings panel, or by contacting our support team via live chat or email. Requests submitted via live chat or email are processed within 24 hours and take effect immediately upon processing. Account settings requests take effect instantly upon OTP confirmation.

During any active self-exclusion period, 999dt will suppress your account from all promotional and marketing communications. Any pending withdrawals at the time of self-exclusion will be processed to your registered bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account in accordance with our standard withdrawal processing timelines. Any active bonuses or free bets will be forfeited at the point of self-exclusion without exception.

Important: Self-exclusion on 999dt applies only to the 999dt platform. It does not automatically restrict access to other gambling websites or apps. If you are seeking a broader break from online gambling, we recommend contacting a specialist support service that can assist you with multi-platform exclusion options and counselling.
If you attempt to re-register on 999dt during an active self-exclusion period using a new email address, phone number, or alternative identity, 999dt reserves the right to close the new account immediately, forfeit any funds deposited during that period, and extend the original self-exclusion term. Circumventing self-exclusion is a breach of the 999dt Terms & Conditions.

Tips for Safer Gambling

The following practical guidelines are recommended by 999dt for all players, regardless of experience level or bet size. Keeping these principles in mind will help ensure that gambling on 999dt remains a positive and controlled activity for you.

  • Set a budget before you play and stick to it. Decide in advance the maximum amount you are comfortable spending — in BDT — and treat that as your entertainment budget for the session. Use the deposit limit tool to enforce this automatically.
  • Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Gambling winnings are never guaranteed. Only use disposable income — money that is not needed for rent, food, utility bills, or family obligations — for gambling activity .
  • Set a time limit for your sessions. Decide how long you will play before you start, and use the session time limit tool to enforce it automatically. Taking regular breaks helps you maintain perspective and avoid losing track of time.
  • Do not chase losses. If you have reached your budget for the session, stop playing. Trying to win back losses by continuing to bet almost always leads to larger losses and increased distress. Accept that losses are part of the entertainment cost, just like a cinema ticket or a meal out.
  • Gambling is not a way to make money. All casino games and most sports bets carry a built-in house edge. Over the long term, the mathematical expectation for any player is a net loss. Approach gambling purely as entertainment, not as a source of income or a financial strategy.
  • Avoid gambling when you are emotional. Do not gamble when you are stressed, upset, angry, intoxicated, or in a low mood. Emotional states impair judgement and increase the likelihood of impulsive, high-risk betting decisions.
  • Balance gambling with other activities. Gambling should occupy a small and defined portion of your leisure time. Maintain a healthy balance with family time, physical activity, social engagements, and other hobbies.
  • Be honest with yourself and with others. If the people close to you are expressing concern about your gambling habits, listen to them openly. Those who care about you often notice warning signs before you do.
  • Take advantage of the tools available to you. 999dt's responsible gaming tools exist for your benefit — deposit limits, session limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion are all there to support you. Using them is a sign of responsible, informed play, not weakness.
Remember: Gambling at 999dt is intended to be enjoyable entertainment for adults aged 18 and above. The moment it stops feeling like entertainment and starts feeling like a compulsion, a financial necessity, or a source of distress — that is the moment to reach out for support. We are here to help.
