Responsible Gaming Features at 9db

9db provides a range of practical tools to help ensure every player enjoys a safe and enjoyable gaming experience.

Set a Deposit Limit

You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be exceeded, keeping your budget protected.

Session time limit

Decide in advance how long you will play each day. When the time is up, 9db will automatically send you an alert and, if needed, end your session.

Cooling-Off Period

If you need a short break, you can activate a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, you will not be able to log in to your account.

Self-exclusion

For a long-term break, activate self-exclusion for anywhere between 6 months and 5 years. Your account will be fully inactive for the entire duration.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum amount in BDT you are willing to lose daily or weekly. Once the limit is reached, 9db will automatically stop any further betting.

Support & counselling

Whenever you need help, the 9db support team is here for you. We can also connect you with professional counselling services.

Why is responsible gaming important?

Online gaming has become a popular form of entertainment for many people. But like any leisure activity, moderation matters. On 9db, responsible gaming is not just a policy — it is a core part of who we are.

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a source of enjoyment, and ensuring it never has a negative impact on your family life, financial wellbeing, or mental health. 9db believes that when every player games with awareness, it will always be a rewarding experience.

Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh. From young adults to the middle-aged, many people are now playing regularly — depositing easily via bKash or Nagad. That convenience makes it all the more important to build responsible gaming habits.

Keep in mind

Gaming should be entertainment — not a source of income. There is no guarantee of winning any bet. Only wager what you can afford to lose.

At 9db, we work on multiple levels to ensure responsible gaming — from technical tools to direct support. Our goal is to keep your gaming experience positive at all times.

Recognise the signs of problem gaming

Problem gaming often develops gradually. If you notice any of the following signs, you may need support:

  • Chasing losses by continuing to play and placing larger bets to try to win back money.
  • Taking time away from family, friends, or work for gaming.
  • Hiding or lying to family or friends about gaming activity.
  • Borrowing money or breaking into savings to place bets.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or down when you are unable to play.
  • Repeatedly failing to stop gaming despite trying to quit.
  • You no longer feel the same thrill unless you bet more than you used to.
If you notice these signs

If you notice two or more of these signs in yourself, contact the 9db support team immediately or activate self-exclusion.

Check Yourself

Ask yourself the following questions honestly — this is only for you:

1

Have you ever spent beyond your set budget and regretted it afterwards?

2

Has gaming ever caused tension in your relationships with family or friends due to time or money lost?

3

Have you ever neglected other responsibilities because of gaming?

4

Have you ever felt that gaming is the only way to relieve your stress?

5

Have you ever told yourself "just one more time" but kept going anyway?

Results analysis

If you answer "Yes" to more than 2 questions, it may be time to reassess your gaming habits. The 9db support team is ready to help.

10 tips for healthy gaming habits

Set your budget first

Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start playing, and never go beyond that limit.

Set time limits for play

Decide how long you will play each day. Set a timer and stop when it goes off.

Treat it as entertainment

Think of gaming as entertainment, not a way to earn money. Any losses are simply the cost of that entertainment.

Don't Chase Your Losses

Do not bet more out of frustration or anger after a loss. Take a break instead.

Take Regular Breaks

Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, walk around, and drink some water.

Spend time with family

Gaming can never replace family responsibilities. Make time for quality moments with the people who matter.

Don't Play Before Bed

Avoid gaming right before bed. It reduces sleep quality and can reinforce addictive patterns.

Don't Play with Borrowed Money

Never game with borrowed money or by dipping into your savings. Only use funds you can afford to lose.

Tell someone you trust

Let a family member or friend know about your gaming habits. Having someone to answer to makes it easier to stay in control.

Use the tools

Make active use of 9db's deposit limits, time limits, and self-exclusion tools.

FAQs

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Yes, but it is not possible to reactivate your account before the set period ends. Once the break is over, you can contact the support team to reactivate your account — though this follows a specific process to make sure you are making a considered decision.

Yes, reducing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing your limit requires a 72-hour waiting period — this is intentional, to prevent decisions made in the heat of the moment.

No — for security reasons, only the account holder can set or change limits. However, if you would like a family member to help, let our support team know and we will explore alternative arrangements.

9db does not provide direct medical or counselling services, but we can connect you with professional help. Our support team will refer you to the right organisation.

If age cannot be verified during identity checks, or if there is reason to suspect the account holder is underage, the account will be suspended immediately. Any deposited funds will be returned and the account will be permanently closed.
