Important Notice

A9999 provides services to individuals aged 18 and above only. Gaming is for entertainment — not a source of income. Never bet more than you can afford.

What is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

Responsible Gaming is a mindset and a set of habits where a player enjoys gaming purely as entertainment — free from financial stress or emotional pressure. At a9999, Responsible Gaming is not just a policy; it is part of our culture. We believe every player should have full control over their time, money, and emotions.

Online gaming is growing in popularity across Bangladesh. But alongside that growth, some people are falling into gaming addiction — becoming isolated from their families and facing financial hardship. a9999 acknowledges this reality and actively works to address it. Our platform has multiple safeguards in place to help you protect yourself.

Keep in Mind: Gaming should be enjoyable, not a burden. If you feel gaming is having a negative impact on your daily life, relationships, or finances, do not hesitate to seek help.

a9999 Responsible Gaming Policy

A9999 is committed to all its players. Our policies are built on internationally recognized responsible gaming standards. We pledge:

  • Age Verification: A strict age verification process is applied to every new account.
  • Set Voluntary Limits: You can set limits on deposits, betting, and session duration.
  • Self-Exclusion: Any player can suspend or permanently close their account at any time.
  • Reality Check: Players receive notifications about their gaming time at regular intervals.
  • Financial protection: Automated alerts are in place to prevent betting beyond your means.
  • 24/7 Support: Support in Bengali is available around the clock.
  • No pressure: a9999 never encourages you to bet more.
  • No promises to recover losses: We never suggest that playing more will help you recover losses.

Our Protection Tools

A9999 provides players with several effective tools to manage their own gaming experience. These tools are free and available to use at any time.

1
Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit limit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Limits take effect immediately once set.

2
Betting Limits

Set a maximum amount per bet. This protects you from placing large bets on impulse.

3
Session Time Limit

Decide how long you want to play in advance. After the set time, you will receive an automatic reminder and your session can be ended if needed.

4
Cooling-Off Period

Take a break from gaming for a set period (1 day to 6 weeks). Your account will be automatically deactivated during this time.

5
Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, choose self-exclusion. Your account can be fully suspended for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years.

6
Reality Check

A notification will appear every 30 or 60 minutes, reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.

Change Limit: Lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing your limit requires a 7-day waiting period — this prevents impulsive decisions.

Warning Signs of Gaming Addiction

Gaming addiction develops gradually — and you may not even notice it yourself. If you recognize any of the signs below, it is time to seek help.

Overspending Your Budget

Spending more money on gaming than you can afford and attempting to borrow funds to place bets.

Loss of Time Control

Spending far more time gaming than planned and being unable to stop.

Withdrawal from Family

Cutting back time with family and friends in favour of gaming.

Chasing losses

Placing more bets after a loss in an attempt to win back what you lost.

Privacy

Hiding gaming activity and spending from family, or lying about it.

Discomfort During Breaks

Feeling restless, moody, or anxious when not gaming.

Caution: If even one of these signs applies to you, do not ignore it. Getting help early makes it much easier to address the problem.

How to Build Healthy Gaming Habits

Responsible Gaming does not mean giving up gaming — it means enjoying it mindfully. Following the habits below will keep gaming fun at all times.

  • Set Your Budget in Advance: Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend each week or month, and stick to it. This should be just one part of your monthly entertainment budget.
  • Set a Time Limit: Decide in advance how long you will play each session. Avoid gaming before bed or during work hours.
  • Never treat a win as guaranteed: Gaming is entertainment — winning is never guaranteed. Do not invest more in the hope of a win.
  • No emotion-driven decisions: Don't let anger or frustration push you into placing more bets after a loss. Take a break and make decisions with a clear head.
  • Make time for other activities too: Family, friends, and hobbies matter more than gaming. Maintain a balanced lifestyle.
  • Do not play under the influence: Gaming under the influence of alcohol or any substance impairs your judgement and increases the risk of harm.
  • Keep your winnings safe: After a big win, withdraw a portion of your winnings rather than placing it all back as a bet.

Minor Protection

A9999 strictly prevents gaming by anyone under 18. Underage gaming is both illegal and harmful to mental health. Here are the measures we have put in place:

  • Date of birth verification is required during registration.
  • KYC verification using a government-issued ID (NID/Passport) is required before your first withdrawal.
  • Suspicious accounts are verified immediately and suspended if necessary.

  • Use parental control software on your device.

  • Do I spend more time and money on gaming than I planned?
  • Do I feel restless or irritable when I cannot play?
  • Do I hide my gaming spending from my family?
