Responsible Gaming
at bgd9
bgd9 is committed to providing a safe, fair and enjoyable gaming environment for all eligible players across Bangladesh. We believe that gambling should always remain a form of entertainment — never a source of financial or emotional distress.
Our Commitment
Gaming Should Always Be Fun
At bgd9, we take our responsible gaming obligations seriously. Whether you are placing a bet on the Bangladesh Tigers in a BPL match, spinning the reels on your favourite slot title, or joining a live dealer table from Dhaka or Chittagong, the experience should remain enjoyable, controlled and within your personal means.
We have invested in a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that put control directly in your hands. Deposit limits, cooling-off periods, session reminders, reality checks and full self-exclusion are all available within your bgd9 account settings at no charge. These tools are permanent features of the bgd9 Platform — not an afterthought — because we believe that player wellbeing and sustainable entertainment go hand in hand.
bgd9 also works to prevent underage gambling through mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. Every player must verify their identity and confirm they are aged 21 or above before accessing real-money features. This requirement is non-negotiable and is applied consistently across all areas of the Platform, for players in Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Cox's Bazar and every other part of Bangladesh.
If at any point your gambling feels out of control — or if you are concerned about someone close to you — please contact the bgd9 support team immediately via live chat or email. Help is always available, confidential and free of charge.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
- Spending more money than you can afford to lose on gambling
- Chasing losses by placing increasingly large or frequent bets
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression or personal problems
- Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Neglecting work, education, family or social obligations due to gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when trying to reduce or stop gambling
- Repeatedly failing to keep promises to yourself about stopping or cutting back
- Thinking about gambling constantly — planning the next session, reliving past wins
Player Protection Tools
bgd9 Responsible Gaming Features
bgd9 provides a full range of free, easy-to-use tools that allow you to manage your gambling activity and maintain healthy boundaries at all times.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits to ensure you never spend more than your personal budget allows. Limits take effect immediately when reduced. Increases to existing limits require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they activate, giving you time to reconsider.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling has become a problem, you can request a self-exclusion through your bgd9 account settings or by contacting our support team. Self-exclusion periods range from 6 months to permanent closure. During the exclusion period, your account will be suspended and you will not receive any marketing communications from bgd9.
Time-Out / Cooling-Off
Request a short-term break from the bgd9 Platform lasting 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, make deposits, place bets or access any real-money features. This tool is ideal if you feel you need a brief pause to reassess your gambling habits.
Session Time Reminders
Enable session reminders to receive an on-screen notification after a set amount of time — for example, after 30 minutes or 1 hour of continuous play. These reminders help you stay aware of how long you have been gambling and encourage regular breaks during extended sessions.
Reality Checks
bgd9's reality check feature displays a summary of your current session — including total time played, net wins or losses, and total amount wagered — at regular intervals you define. Staying informed about your activity in real time is one of the most effective tools for maintaining responsible gambling habits.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, bgd9 allows you to set maximum loss thresholds on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further bets for the remainder of the limit period, protecting you from chasing losses in the heat of the moment.

Self-Assessment
How Is Your Gambling?
The following self-assessment questions are based on widely recognised screening tools used by gambling support organisations. Answer honestly — your responses are for your personal reflection only and are not recorded by bgd9.
If you answer "Yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use bgd9's self-exclusion tool and to reach out to our support team or a professional counselling service. There is no shame in seeking help — problem gambling is a recognised condition, and effective support is available across Bangladesh.
Recognise the Issue
Acknowledge honestly whether gambling is affecting your finances, relationships or mental health.
Use bgd9's Tools
Activate deposit limits, time-outs or self-exclusion immediately from your account settings or via live chat.
Talk to Someone
Contact the bgd9 support team, a trusted friend or a professional counsellor. Asking for help is a sign of strength.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Consider each question honestly. "Yes" answers may indicate gambling is becoming harmful.
Have you ever gambled more money than you originally planned to spend in a single session?
Have you felt the need to bet with larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
Have you tried to win back money you lost by gambling more — commonly known as "chasing losses"?
Have you neglected work, study, family time or other responsibilities because of gambling?
Have you borrowed money, sold belongings or used savings earmarked for essential expenses to fund gambling?
Have you felt anxious, irritable, depressed or restless when you were unable to gamble or tried to stop?
Have you kept the extent of your gambling activity hidden from family members, friends or your employer?
Have you ever gambled as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, grief or other difficult emotions?
Age Verification
Strict 21+ Policy
bgd9 requires every player to complete identity and age verification before they can deposit funds, place bets or withdraw winnings. Valid forms of identification accepted for KYC include a National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence — all of which must clearly display the player's full name and date of birth.
If bgd9 discovers at any point — including after account registration — that a player is under the age of 21, the account will be suspended immediately, all funds will be withheld pending investigation, and the matter will be escalated in accordance with bgd9's internal compliance procedures.
We urge parents and guardians to make use of parental control software if their devices are accessible to minors. bgd9 recommends tools such as Net Nanny, Kaspersky Safe Kids and similar products to help restrict access to gambling websites for young people in Bangladesh.

We Never Market to Vulnerable Players
Players who have activated self-exclusion or cooling-off periods are immediately removed from all bgd9 marketing communications, including promotional emails, SMS and push notifications.
