9bt's Responsible Gaming Core Principles

We do not just provide games — we also ensure your protection. These six core principles form the foundation of our responsible gaming program.

Age Verification Is Mandatory

You must be 18 or older to open an account on 9bt. Date of birth is verified at registration, and in cases of doubt, age must be confirmed with a national ID or passport.

Set Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in BDT. Once set, it takes effect immediately — and any increase requires a 48-hour waiting period.

Session time control

Decide in advance how long you will play each session. When the time is up, our system will remind you to take a break — because rest is part of gaming too.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel like you need a break for a while, you can lock your account yourself for anywhere between 7 days and 6 months. No logins or transactions will be possible during this time.

Loss Limit Protection

If your losses exceed a set amount, you will be alerted or your gaming will be temporarily paused. This is 9bt's dedicated measure to protect your finances.

24/7 Support Center

Our support team is always ready to help with any gaming-related concern or issue. Reach out and we will listen and assist — our goal is to offer support, not judgment.

What Does Responsible Gaming Actually Mean?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming purely as entertainment — not as a source of income or a way out of financial trouble. At 9bt, we believe real enjoyment comes when you play on your own terms, within your own means.

Online gaming is growing fast in Bangladesh, with people of all ages — especially younger generations — turning to smartphones for entertainment. But it comes with real risks. Responsible Gaming The most effective way to reduce that risk.

9bt's responsible gaming program is built on three core principles: Awareness (understanding your own behavior), Control (setting your own limits) and Support (seeking help when needed). Together, these three principles keep gaming enjoyable at all times.

Keep in Mind

Gaming is a form of entertainment. There is no guarantee of winning — and the possibility of losing is always there. Only spend money you can afford to lose without it affecting your life.

We do not always notice when casual entertainment turns into addiction. Watch out for the following warning signs.

7 Steps to Responsible Gaming

Following these seven simple steps will keep gaming enjoyable and prevent it from having a negative impact on your life.

1
Set Your Budget First

Decide before you start how much BDT you are willing to spend that day. Do not go beyond that budget — whether it is a good day or a bad one.

2
Set Your Time Limit

Decide how many hours a day you'll spend gaming. Set a timer on your phone and make sure you stop when it goes off.

3
Accept losses as part of the game

Wins and losses are both a normal part of gaming. Do not chase your losses by placing bigger bets to try to win your money back — that is the biggest mistake you can make.

4
Take Regular Breaks

Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, drink some water, take a short walk — it helps keep your decision-making sharp.

5
Do not let emotions take over

Never place large bets when you're angry, frustrated, or under the influence. Decisions made in an emotional state are almost always the wrong ones.

6
Enjoy life beyond gaming

Family, friends, hobbies — these always come before gaming. Let gaming be one part of your life, not the whole of it.

7
Don't hesitate to seek help

If you're struggling, don't stay silent. Reach out to the 9bt support team or a specialist organization. Asking for help takes real courage.
