Responsible Gambling Our Tools

99db's dedicated features to help you play safely and stay in control

Deposit Limit Settings

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits take effect immediately once set — they're easy to lower, but increasing them requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Session Time Limits

Decide for yourself how long you spend on the platform each day. Once your set time is up, the system will automatically notify you and log you out if needed. Sticking to a time limit helps build healthier habits.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel like you need a break, you can temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 30 days. During this period, betting and deposits will be disabled. Once the cooling-off period ends, your account will reactivate automatically.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your situation is serious, you can close your account for 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. Once self-exclusion is active, it cannot be reversed under any circumstances. This is a strict safeguard — and it exists for your benefit.

Betting History Review

View your full betting history, deposit and withdrawal records at any time. Analyze your own patterns to understand how much time and money you're spending. Knowing the facts is the first step to staying in control.

Age Verification System

Age is strictly verified during registration and the KYC process at 99db. No one under 18 is permitted to use the platform. Parents and guardians should remain vigilant to protect underage members of their household.

About Responsible Gambling

Betting is entertainment — not an addiction

At 99db, responsible gambling is not just a rule — it is our core philosophy. We believe online betting can be a legitimate form of entertainment, but only when enjoyed in a controlled and mindful way. When millions of people in Bangladesh come to 99db, our responsibility is to provide them with a safe, transparent, and responsible environment.

The golden rule of responsible gambling is simple — never bet more than you can afford to lose. Betting should be a form of entertainment, like going to the cinema or watching a match. It should never be seen as a way to make money or recover past losses.

How to Bet Responsibly

At 99db, we recommend following a few simple guidelines for responsible gambling. These are designed to keep betting enjoyable and help you avoid potential harm:

Set a Budget: Set a fixed budget for betting each week or month — and stick to it, no exceptions.
Set a Time Limit: Decide in advance how long you'll play. Spending hours in front of a screen is not healthy.
Accept the loss: Losses are a normal part of betting. Avoid the urge to chase them with more wagers.
Stay Clear-Headed: Never bet when you're angry, frustrated, or under the influence. Make decisions with a clear head.
Keep Life in Balance: Keep betting in balance with your family, friends, and work life.
For Entertainment Only: Remember, betting on 99db is about having fun — not making a living.

When Betting Becomes a Problem

Sometimes recreational betting can become a problem — and it happens gradually, making it hard to notice on your own. 99db wants you to stay self-aware. Watch out for these warning signs: lying or hiding how much you're betting, feeling the urge to bet more after a loss, losing focus on family and work, or using savings and borrowed money to bet. If any of these are showing up in your life, reaching out for help at the right time is the wisest thing you can do.

99db's responsible gambling section is here to connect you with the right support at the right time. Our support team is available 24/7, every day of the week.

Problem Warning Signs Recognize

If any of these signs appear, seek help as soon as possible

Betting Beyond Your Means Using money meant for food, rent, or essential expenses to place bets is a serious warning sign. Your betting budget should always come from funds you can genuinely afford to lose.
The Urge to Chase Losses Repeatedly betting to try to recover lost money is one of the most dangerous patterns in gambling. It creates a cycle that becomes increasingly hard to break.
Hiding Behaviour from Family and Friends Lying or hiding how much you bet is a sign that, on some level, you already know something isn't right. That's the right moment to seek help.
Feeling restless when unable to bet Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you cannot bet may be a sign of addiction.

Neglecting Work & Studies Thinking about betting so much that it becomes difficult to focus on work, studies, or professional responsibilities.
Betting with Borrowed Money Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial institutions to fund betting is a clear sign that things have reached a critical point.
Poor sleep & declining health If betting is causing you to lose sleep, skip meals, or stay up through the night — and your physical health is suffering — take a break immediately.
Strained Personal Relationships If betting is causing arguments with family, straining friendships, or leaving you feeling isolated, it has gone beyond entertainment.

Occasional FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Responsible Gambling

No — activating self-exclusion does not affect your account balance. Your funds remain completely safe, and you can withdraw them once the self-exclusion period ends. If you'd like to request a withdrawal while self-exclusion is active, please contact our support team.

No, these are two different things. A cooling-off period is a temporary break — anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days — after which your account reactivates automatically. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a long-term commitment (6 months to permanent) that cannot be reversed before the period ends.
