Player Safety First

Responsible
Gaming at 99db

At 99db, we believe that betting and casino games should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial harm, or personal hardship. Our responsible gaming programme gives every player in Bangladesh the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.

Our Commitment

Playing Smart,
Staying Safe


99db is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent platform for cricket betting and casino entertainment across Bangladesh. Responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is built into the core of how we operate.

21+ Age Minimum
24/7 Support
5+ Safety Tools
Important Notice: The 99db Platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. Gambling involves financial risk and should be treated as a form of entertainment, not as a way to generate income. If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, please use our responsible gaming tools or contact our support team immediately.

99db operates as Bangladesh's trusted online betting and casino destination, offering cricket markets on BPL, IPL, and T20 World Cup alongside hundreds of live casino and slot games. With that reach comes a profound responsibility. We take our duty of care seriously — both to the individual player and to the wider community.

Our responsible gaming framework is built on four pillars: Prevention (age verification and player education), Control (tools that let you manage your own play), Intervention (automated detection of problematic behaviour patterns), and Support (access to trained human support staff and external help organisations).

Every 99db player — whether betting on the Bangladesh Tigers from Dhaka, spinning slots in Chittagong, or following a BPL match from Sylhet — deserves a platform that looks out for them. These pages and tools exist because we believe responsible gaming is everyone's right.

If at any point you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, please do not hesitate to reach out. Our support team is available 24/7 via live chat and email at [email protected]. You are never alone in this.

Player Protection Tools

Take Control of Your Play


99db provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools accessible directly from your account settings. Every tool below is available to all registered players at no cost — use them proactively, not just in a crisis.

💰

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit into your 99db account over a defined period. You can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets.

Limits can be reduced immediately at your request. Increases to a deposit limit take effect only after a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period — giving you time to reconsider. Limits are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳).

Active Immediately on Reduction
⏱️

Session Time Limits

Define the maximum amount of time you are permitted to spend in a single gaming or betting session. When your session limit is reached, you will receive a prominent on-screen alert and will be logged out automatically if you do not manually exit within 5 minutes.

You can set session limits for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom duration. Session reminders at the halfway point are also available for players who want a lighter-touch nudge.

Configurable in Account Settings
📊

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss threshold over a chosen time period. If your cumulative losses reach the limit you have defined, your account will be blocked from further betting or gaming activity for the remainder of that period, regardless of your current balance.

Loss limits apply across all 99db products — cricket betting, live casino, and slot games — so you have a single, unified cap on how much you can lose. These limits are independently verified by our platform systems and cannot be manually overridden by support staff at a player's same-day request.

Time-Out (Short Break)

If you feel you need a short break from 99db, you can activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account will be suspended — you will be unable to log in, deposit, place bets, or play casino games.

Withdrawals remain available during a time-out so you can always access your funds. Time-outs are activated instantly and cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. Promotional communications are paused for the duration.

Instant Activation

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a longer-term measure for players who feel they need a significant break from gambling. You can self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. Once activated, your account is fully suspended and you will not be able to create a new account on the 99db Platform.

During self-exclusion, 99db will make all reasonable efforts to identify and close any new accounts opened by the same individual. Any remaining balance will be refunded to your verified payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account). All marketing communications will cease immediately.

Self-exclusion can be requested via your account settings or by contacting support at [email protected]. Reinstatement after the chosen period requires a formal written request and a mandatory 7-day reflection period before access is restored.

Reality Check Alerts

Reality check notifications are periodic pop-up messages that appear during your play session to remind you how long you have been playing, how much you have deposited during the session, and your net win or loss position. You can set reality checks to appear every 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

When a reality check alert appears, you have the option to continue playing, review your session summary, or exit the game. These prompts are designed to counter the natural tendency to lose track of time and money during extended play — particularly relevant when watching live BPL or T20 matches late into the evening Bangladesh Standard Time.

Session Awareness
Core Principles

How 99db Promotes Safe Play


Beyond player-facing tools, 99db maintains a set of operational principles that govern how we design, market, and operate our platform with player safety in mind.

🔞
Strict Age Verification
Every new 99db account undergoes mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification. We verify that all players are 21 years of age or older before any deposit or bet is permitted. Our verification process uses government-issued ID documents, including the National Identity Card (NID), to confirm age and identity for every player in Bangladesh.
🤖
Behavioural Monitoring
99db uses automated monitoring systems to flag player accounts that show patterns associated with problem gambling — such as rapidly escalating deposit volumes, unusually long session durations, or frequent late-night play. When such patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team reviews the account and may proactively reach out to offer support tools or information.
📣
Responsible Marketing
All 99db promotional materials carry clear responsible gaming messaging and the 21+ age restriction notice. We do not target promotional communications at players who are self-excluded, in time-out, or who have been identified as at-risk by our monitoring systems. We do not advertise in contexts that could reach minors, and we do not make misleading claims about the likelihood of winning.
🏦
Transparent Financial Tools
Players can access a complete transaction history, session history, and profit/loss summary at any time through their account dashboard. We believe that full visibility of your own financial activity on the platform is a foundational responsible gaming feature. All amounts are displayed in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) for clarity.
👨‍👩‍👧
Parental Controls Support
If you share a device with other household members, including children, we strongly recommend using device-level parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites. Tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in operating system parental controls can block gambling content at the device level. 99db supports these initiatives and will assist any parent or guardian who contacts us with concerns about a minor accessing the platform.
📚
Player Education
We provide clear information within the 99db platform about how betting odds work, the mathematical house edge in casino games, and the statistical nature of outcomes. Understanding that all casino games and sports betting markets are governed by probability — and that no strategy guarantees a profit — is the foundation of genuinely informed and responsible play.
Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling


Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following are common warning signs. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use our self-exclusion or time-out tools, or to seek support from a professional organisation.

You are not alone. Problem gambling affects people of all backgrounds and income levels across Bangladesh. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our support team at [email protected] can connect you with the right resources.
Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended or can afford
Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you have already lost
Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much you gamble or how much you have lost
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling
Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to time spent gambling
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using savings intended for rent, food, or bills to fund gambling
Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties
Feeling that gambling is the most important thing in your life, thinking about it constantly
Continuing to gamble despite repeated attempts to cut back or stop
Relationships with people close to you becoming strained because of your gambling behaviour
Self-Assessment

Are You Playing Responsibly?


The questions below are designed to help you reflect on your gambling habits. They are not a clinical diagnosis — but honest answers may help you decide whether to use one of our responsible gaming tools or seek further support.

Q1 Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, or utility bills?
Q2 Have you ever felt the need to increase the size of your bets to feel the same level of excitement?
Q3 Have you ever returned to gambling the day after a loss with the intention of winning back what you lost?
Q4 Have you ever hidden gambling activity or the size of your losses from people close to you?
Q5 Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, study commitments, or important family events?
Q6 Have you ever gambled as a way to escape from problems, stress, or negative emotions?
Q7 Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling activity?
Q8 Have you ever felt guilty, ashamed, or regretful after gambling?
Q9 Have family members or friends ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?
Q10 Have you tried to cut back on or stop gambling and found it difficult or impossible to do so?
How to interpret your answers: If you answered "yes" to 1–2 questions, you may be at low risk but should consider setting deposit or session limits. If you answered "yes" to 3–4 questions, we recommend activating a time-out and reviewing your play. If you answered "yes" to 5 or more questions, we strongly encourage you to self-exclude and seek professional support. Contact us at [email protected] — our team can guide you through the next steps.
