db9999 Responsible Gaming

📌 Our Commitment

Gambling Should Always Be Fun

At db9999, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player on our platform. For the vast majority of our members across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and throughout Bangladesh, gambling is a leisure activity — a way to enjoy world-class casino games, cheer on the Bangladesh Tigers in a BPL match, or test a strategy on live roulette. It is meant to be exciting, social, and entertaining.

But we also understand that gambling can become problematic for some people, and that the signs are not always obvious at first. That is why db9999 has built a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools directly into the Platform — deposit limits, session time-outs, self-exclusion, and more — and why our support team is available around the clock to assist any player who needs guidance.

This page explains every responsible gaming feature available on db9999, how to use them, and where to turn if you feel that gambling is no longer just a leisure activity for you or someone you know. All tools described here are free to use and available to every registered member at any time.

🔧 Safety Features

Setting Up Your Safety Tools

All responsible gaming tools are accessible directly from your account settings panel. Here is where to find each one:

🔞 Age Policy

Strict 21+ Age Verification

db9999 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all players. This is not just a policy statement — it is a technical and procedural requirement embedded into every stage of the registration and withdrawal process.

1. Registration check: Every new member must confirm they are 21 or older during the sign-up process. Providing a false date of birth constitutes a breach of our Terms & Conditions and will result in immediate account closure.
2. KYC document verification: Before processing a first withdrawal, all members must submit government-issued identity documents (National ID card, passport, or driving licence) confirming their date of birth. Accounts belonging to individuals found to be under 21 are closed and any funds forfeited.
3. Ongoing monitoring: db9999's compliance team conducts ongoing account reviews. Any account exhibiting patterns inconsistent with verified age data is flagged for enhanced due diligence and may be suspended pending further investigation.
4. Report a minor: If you believe a person under 21 is using the db9999 Platform — including if you are a parent or guardian who suspects a child has accessed your account — contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will act on any such report without delay.

⚠️ Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise from the inside. The following signs — whether you notice them in yourself or in someone you know — may indicate that gambling has moved beyond entertainment and is becoming harmful.

• 💸 Spending more money on gambling than you can comfortably afford, or borrowing money to fund your play.
• 🕐 Spending more time gambling than you planned, or finding it difficult to stop once you start — even when you intended to play for only a short time.
• 😰 Feeling anxious, restless, or irritable when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce how much you play.
• 🔁 Chasing losses — returning to gambling after a losing session specifically to try to win back what you lost, rather than for entertainment.
• 🤫 Hiding or lying about your gambling activity to family members, friends, or colleagues in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere.
• 🏠 Neglecting work, family responsibilities, social relationships, or personal health in order to gamble or to recover from gambling losses.
• 💭 Gambling as a primary way of escaping stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other difficult emotions rather than as a form of leisure.
• 📉 Needing to gamble with larger amounts of money or at higher stakes over time to feel the same level of excitement — a sign of escalating tolerance.

If you recognise three or more of these signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use the db9999 self-exclusion tool or time-out feature immediately, and to reach out to our support team. There is no obligation to explain yourself — simply letting us know you need a break is enough for us to act.

📋 Self-Assessment

Quick Self-Check Questions

Take a moment to honestly answer these questions about your gambling behaviour over the past 4 weeks. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we encourage you to speak with our support team or use one of our responsible gaming tools.

🤝 Getting Help

You Are Not Alone — Support Is Available

Reaching out is the most important step, and db9999 makes it as straightforward as possible. Our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including during Eid, Pohela Boishakh, and public holidays — specifically to assist members who need guidance on responsible gaming tools or who simply want to talk through their options.

1. Contact db9999 Support: Open the live chat widget inside your account dashboard. Tell the agent you would like help with a responsible gaming matter. No lengthy explanation is required — they are trained to assist discreetly and without judgement.
2. Email our team: You may also write to us at [email protected]. Responsible gaming requests are flagged as high priority and handled within 2 hours during standard operating hours (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).
3. Activate a tool yourself: If you prefer not to speak with an agent, you can apply deposit limits, loss limits, session controls, or a time-out directly through the Account Settings panel at any time.
4. Request self-exclusion: For a longer break, contact our support team via live chat or email and specifically request self-exclusion. Your account will be suspended within 24 hours and all marketing communications will cease immediately.

✅ Healthy Habits

Tips for Keeping Gambling Fun

The following habits help the vast majority of db9999 members keep their gambling experience enjoyable and within healthy boundaries.

• 🎯 Set a budget before you start. Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing before each session and treat it as the cost of your entertainment — not as a starting stake to be recouped.
• ⏰ Set a time limit. Decide how long you want to play before you begin, and use db9999's built-in session timer to hold yourself to it.
• 🧘 Never gamble to escape problems. If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or low, gambling is unlikely to help and may make things worse. Take a break and return when you are in a better headspace.
• 🍶 Avoid gambling under the influence. Alcohol and other substances can impair judgement and lead to decisions you would not normally make. Play with a clear head.
• 🏆 Treat winnings as a bonus, not a goal. The primary purpose of playing on db9999 is entertainment. Winnings are a pleasant outcome, not the objective. Never play with money you need to win back.
• 🔄 Balance gambling with other activities. A healthy relationship with gambling means it forms just one part of a varied and fulfilling leisure life — alongside cricket, family time, fitness, and other hobbies.
