🛡️ Player Safety

Responsible Gaming at 99ko

We believe gaming should be entertaining, not harmful. 99ko provides every player in Bangladesh with the tools and information needed to stay in control of their play.

🔞 99ko is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. Underage gambling is prohibited.

Gaming Should Always Be Fun

At 99ko, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming environment for all players across Bangladesh, from Dhaka to Chittagong, Sylhet to Rajshahi. We understand that while the vast majority of our players enjoy cricket betting, slots, and live casino games purely for entertainment, a small number of people may find that gambling begins to affect other areas of their lives. Our responsible gaming programme exists specifically to support those players before, during, and after any difficulties arise.

Responsible gaming is not just a policy statement at 99ko — it is a core part of how we build and run our platform. We have invested in practical tools that put control directly in your hands, and we train our support team to recognise and respond sensitively to signs of problem gambling. This page explains every tool available to you, the warning signs to watch for, and how to access help at any time.

1. Your Player Protection Tools

Every registered 99ko player has immediate access to the following player protection features directly from their account settings. No waiting period, no approval required — these controls are yours to use at any time.

💰
Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps in BDT. Once active, limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered, not raised, within a 48-hour cooling period.

⏱️
Session Time Limits

Define the maximum amount of time you wish to spend on the platform per day or per session. When your limit is reached, you will receive a clear alert and the session will pause.

🚫
Self-Exclusion

Choose to exclude yourself from 99ko for a defined period — 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During exclusion, your account is frozen and marketing communications are suspended.

🔍
Reality Checks

Activate on-screen reminders at intervals of your choice (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes) that show how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the session.

🕐
Time-Out Periods

Take a short break from the platform for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days without committing to a full self-exclusion. Your account remains open but cannot be used to wager during the time-out.

📊
Activity History

Review a full history of your deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and session durations at any time from your account dashboard, so you always have an accurate picture of your gaming activity.

2. Age Verification Policy

99ko operates a strict minimum age policy. All players must be 21 years of age or older to register an account and access any gambling services on the Platform. Age verification is conducted during the registration process and again before the first withdrawal is processed. We reserve the right to request documentary evidence of age at any point and to suspend or close an account immediately if verification cannot be completed satisfactorily.

We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are aware of a minor attempting to access the Platform, please contact our support team immediately. We treat all such reports with the highest urgency and will take immediate action to investigate and close any account found to belong to a person under 21. If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using your device's parental control features or installing third-party filtering software to prevent access to gambling websites.

3. Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise, especially in yourself. The following are common warning signs that your gambling may have moved beyond entertainment. If you recognise several of these signs, we strongly encourage you to use one of the tools described above or contact our support team for guidance.

  • ⚠️ Spending more money on gambling than you can comfortably afford, or borrowing money to fund gambling activity.
  • ⚠️ Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling, or when attempting to reduce or stop gambling.
  • ⚠️ Chasing losses — placing more bets in an attempt to recover money lost in a previous session.
  • ⚠️ Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home because of time spent gambling.
  • ⚠️ Lying to family members or friends about the amount of time or money spent on gambling.
  • ⚠️ Using gambling as a way to escape from problems, stress, depression, or difficult emotions.
  • ⚠️ Feeling unable to stop or take a break even when you want to, or feeling that gambling is out of your control.

4. How to Activate Your Controls

Activating any responsible gaming tool on your 99ko account takes less than two minutes. Follow these steps:

  1. 1
    Log in to your 99ko account

    Navigate to your account settings using the menu at the top of the page after logging in.

  2. 2
    Select 'Responsible Gaming'

    Find the Responsible Gaming section within your account settings. All available tools are listed here with clear on/off controls.

  3. 3
    Choose and configure your tool

    Select the tool you want to activate — for example, set a deposit limit amount in BDT or choose a self-exclusion duration. Confirm your selection.

  4. 4
    Contact support if you need help

    If you would prefer to set up responsible gaming controls with the help of our support team, contact us via the support chat and our team will guide you through the process step by step.

5. Self-Exclusion Explained

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protective measure available to 99ko players. When you self-exclude, your account is immediately suspended for the duration you have selected. During the exclusion period, you will be unable to log in, place bets, make deposits, or access any gaming content on the Platform. All pending withdrawal requests that were submitted before the exclusion was applied will continue to be processed normally.

Self-exclusion durations available are:

  • Short-term: 1 month or 3 months — suitable for players who want a defined cooling-off period.
  • Medium-term: 6 months or 1 year — suitable for players who need an extended break to reassess their relationship with gambling.
  • Permanent exclusion — for players who wish to close their account permanently. This cannot be reversed.

At the end of a time-limited self-exclusion period, your account will not be automatically reactivated. You must contact our support team directly to request reactivation. Our support team will conduct a brief check-in with you before processing any reactivation request, to confirm that you are comfortable returning to the platform.

6. Getting Help & External Support

🆘 99ko Support — Available 24/7

If you feel that gambling is negatively affecting your life or the lives of people around you, please contact the 99ko support team immediately.

We can help you activate any of the player protection tools described on this page, and we can point you towards further support resources where appropriate.

7. Our Commitment to You

99ko takes its player welfare responsibilities seriously. We review our responsible gaming tools and policies regularly to ensure they remain effective and in line with best practices. We do not market gambling products to players who have opted out of marketing communications, and we never target promotional offers at players who have activated deposit limits or who have recently used a time-out or self-exclusion feature.

We believe that a safe gambling environment benefits every player on the platform, not just those who are experiencing difficulties. When you play at 99ko, you are playing on a platform that genuinely cares about your wellbeing. Our goal is for every player in Bangladesh to enjoy their experience with us — cricket betting, live casino, slots — while always staying firmly in control.

Play Smart. Stay in Control.
