Your Safety Toolkit

Tools Designed to Keep You in Control

8999bt provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools that you can activate directly from your account settings. They are free, effective, and available to every registered player at any time.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 8999bt account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they apply.

Session Time Limits

Define how long you can play in a single session. When your time limit is reached, 8999bt will display a clear notification and log you out automatically. This tool helps prevent the kind of extended, unplanned play sessions that are most associated with problem gambling.

Cool-Off / Time-Out

Need a short break? Activate a temporary time-out ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a time-out, your account is suspended — you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. The time-out cannot be reversed before the period ends, giving you a genuine pause from gambling.

Self-Exclusion

For a more serious break, self-exclusion closes your account for a defined period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. This is a firm commitment — once activated, your account cannot be reopened during the exclusion window regardless of request. See Section 4 for full details.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss threshold over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your loss limit is hit, 8999bt prevents further betting activity until the limit window resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to cap downside exposure with a hard boundary rather than relying on self-discipline alone.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the current session. These prompts appear at intervals you choose (every 15, 30, or 60 minutes) and encourage you to reflect on whether you are still playing for enjoyment.

Section 1

Our Commitment to Safe Play

8999bt was built with the Bangladeshi player in mind — someone who wants to enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and slots as a form of entertainment, not as a financial strategy or an escape from everyday problems. From the very first day of our operations, responsible gaming has been embedded into the design of our platform, not treated as an afterthought or a compliance checkbox.

We believe that sustainable player enjoyment and responsible gambling practices go hand in hand. A player who gambles within their means, sets clear boundaries, and treats wagering as leisure is the kind of player 8999bt is proud to serve. We have no interest in encouraging players to spend beyond their limits, to chase losses, or to gamble while in emotional distress.

To deliver on this commitment, 8999bt has invested in a dedicated suite of player protection tools available to every registered account holder. Our support team is trained to identify and respond to signs of problem gambling, and our platform is designed to make responsible gaming features easy to find and easy to activate — not buried in menus or obscured by promotional content.

Our Responsible Gaming Promise: 8999bt will never send promotional bonus offers to any player who has activated a time-out, self-exclusion, deposit limit, or reality check. Players who are taking a break will not be targeted with re-engagement marketing while their protective measures are active.

We also recognise that gambling carries real risks for a small but significant portion of players. If you ever feel that gambling is no longer fun, that you are spending more than you can afford, or that your gambling habits are affecting your relationships, work, or mental health, please use the tools described on this page and reach out to our support team immediately.

Section 2

Age Restriction — 18+ Only

8999bt strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 18 years for all registered players. Gambling is an adult activity. It requires maturity, financial independence, and the capacity to make informed decisions about risk. For adults aged 18 and above, gambling can be a legitimate and enjoyable leisure activity. For minors, it carries disproportionate risks of harm.

Every new player who registers on 8999bt must confirm, during the registration process, that they are at least 18 years of age. This declaration is legally binding under the terms of our platform agreement. Providing false information about your age to gain access to gambling services is a serious breach of our Terms and Conditions and may result in the permanent closure of your account and the forfeiture of any winnings.

Our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process requires all players to submit valid government-issued identification — such as a National ID card or passport — before their first withdrawal. This process serves a dual purpose: it confirms the identity of the account holder and independently verifies that they meet the minimum age requirement. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be closed immediately, and no funds will be returned.

Zero Tolerance for Underage Gambling: If you become aware that a minor is using or has used an 8999bt account — whether that is your account or someone else's — please report it to our support team immediately at [email protected]. We take all such reports seriously and investigate them with urgency. This is a plain-text address — please do not attempt to click it as a link.

Section 3

How to Activate Player Protection Tools

All responsible gaming tools on 8999bt are accessible directly from your account settings panel. You do not need to contact support to set deposit limits, session time limits, loss limits, or reality checks — you can configure them yourself in seconds. Here is how to access each tool:

Deposit Limits: Log in to your 8999bt account → navigate to Account Settings → select Responsible Gaming → choose Deposit Limits → set your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly cap and confirm.
Session Time Limits: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Limits → select your preferred session length → save. A countdown timer will be visible during your next session.
Loss Limits: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits → define your daily, weekly, or monthly net loss ceiling → confirm. The limit is applied immediately.
Reality Checks: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Reality Checks → choose your preferred reminder interval (15, 30, or 60 minutes) → activate.
Cool-Off / Time-Out: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Take a Break → choose your time-out duration → confirm. Your account will be suspended immediately for the chosen period.
Self-Exclusion: See Section 4 below for the dedicated self-exclusion process, which involves a separate confirmation step due to the extended nature of the measure.

If you experience any difficulty activating a responsible gaming tool, or if a tool does not appear to be working correctly, contact our support team at [email protected] immediately. Responsible gaming tool requests submitted by email are treated as the highest priority by our support team and are processed within one hour during business hours (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).

Limit Increases Require a Cooling-Off Period: To prevent impulsive decisions during play, any request to increase an existing deposit or loss limit will only take effect after a mandatory 24-hour waiting period. Reductions and new, lower limits take effect immediately. This asymmetry is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider before raising your financial exposure.

Section 4

Self-Exclusion — A Firm Commitment to Stop

Self-exclusion is the most robust protective measure 8999bt offers. It is designed for players who recognise that they need a significant, enforced break from gambling and want a firm barrier — not just a soft nudge. Unlike a time-out, self-exclusion is a deliberate, long-term decision that cannot be reversed mid-term, regardless of circumstances.

When you activate self-exclusion on 8999bt, the following actions are taken immediately:

Your account is suspended and you are logged out of all active sessions.
You will be unable to log in, create a new account, or access any gambling feature on the 8999bt platform for the duration of your exclusion.
All marketing communications (bonus offers, promotional emails, event alerts) are stopped immediately and will not resume until your exclusion period ends and you actively choose to reopen your account.
Any pending withdrawals at the time of exclusion will be processed and paid out to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank account) within 3–5 business days.

The available self-exclusion periods on 8999bt are: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent exclusion. A permanent exclusion closes your account indefinitely with no option for reinstatement. We recommend permanent exclusion for players who believe gambling is causing serious harm to their finances, relationships, or wellbeing.

To activate self-exclusion, follow these steps:

Log in to your 8999bt account and navigate to Account Settings in the top-right menu.
Select Responsible Gaming from the settings menu sidebar.
Choose Self-Exclusion and read the full explanation of what self-exclusion means and how it works.
Select your exclusion period — 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent. Consider your situation carefully before choosing.
Confirm your decision by entering your account password. This step is required to prevent accidental activation and to confirm that the decision is deliberate.
Receive a confirmation email at your registered address confirming that your self-exclusion is active and stating the end date (or confirming permanent closure).

Self-Exclusion Cannot Be Reversed Early: Once a self-exclusion is confirmed, 8999bt will not reinstate your account before the exclusion period has expired, even if you contact support requesting early reinstatement. This policy is firm and is in place to protect you. If your chosen period was 6 months, your account will remain closed for the full 6 months — no exceptions. If you feel you need support during your exclusion period, please reach out to the organisations listed in Section 7 of this page.

Section 5

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually, and many people do not recognise it until it has already caused significant harm. Being aware of the early warning signs is one of the most effective ways to intervene before gambling becomes a serious issue. The signs below are commonly associated with gambling that has moved beyond recreational entertainment.

Spending beyond your means. Gambling with money that was intended for rent, food, bills, or other essential expenses in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or wherever you live.

Chasing losses. Placing larger and larger bets in an attempt to recover money lost in earlier sessions, rather than accepting the loss and stopping.

Loss of sleep or daily routine. Gambling late into the night, missing work, religious obligations, or family time in order to continue playing.

Secrecy and dishonesty. Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends, lying about how much you have spent, or feeling ashamed about the amount of time you spend gambling.

Gambling to manage emotions. Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, or depression rather than as a form of recreational entertainment.

Inability to stop. Feeling a strong, persistent urge to gamble even after deciding to cut back or stop, or feeling irritable and restless when attempting to reduce your play.

Ask yourself these questions honestly:

If you answer "yes" to two or more of the following questions, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team or one of the organisations listed in Section 7.

Have you ever spent more money gambling than you originally planned?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?
Has gambling caused arguments or tension with family members or friends?
Have you ever felt the need to gamble with larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?
Have you ever tried to win back money you lost on a previous occasion?
Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you have started?
Has gambling affected your performance at work, school, or university?

Section 6

Protecting Minors from Gambling

If you share a device, computer, or phone with children or teenagers, it is important to take steps to prevent them from accessing the 8999bt platform. While 8999bt enforces age verification at registration and during KYC checks, we also strongly recommend that parents and guardians take additional precautions at the device and network level.

Here are practical steps you can take to prevent underage access to gambling websites:

Use device parental controls: Both Android and iOS devices offer built-in parental control settings that allow you to restrict access to specific apps and websites. Enable Screen Time (iOS) or Family Link (Android) to block gambling-related content.
Enable browser-level filtering: Most major web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) support content filters and supervised browsing modes. Configure these to restrict access to gambling websites on shared devices.
Keep your account credentials private: Never share your 8999bt username or password with your children. Log out of your account when you are not actively using it, especially on a shared device.
Activate device lock screens: Use a PIN, fingerprint, or face-recognition lock on your phone or tablet to prevent children from accessing your device without your knowledge.
Install dedicated filtering software: Third-party parental control software can provide comprehensive blocking of gambling-related websites across all apps and browsers on a device.

Account Responsibility: You are fully responsible for all activity that takes place through your 8999bt account. If a minor accesses gambling features using your credentials, 8999bt may hold the registered account holder accountable under our Terms and Conditions. Protect your login details as carefully as you would your bKash or Nagad PIN.

Section 7

Getting Help & Professional Support

Recognising that gambling is becoming a problem is a significant and courageous first step. If you have identified warning signs in your own behaviour, or if someone close to you has raised concerns, please do not hesitate to seek help. Problem gambling is a recognised health condition, and effective support is available.

8999bt encourages all players who are concerned about their gambling to take the following actions:

Contact our support team immediately. Our responsible gaming specialists are available around the clock. Email us at [email protected] and specifically request responsible gaming assistance. All communications are treated with strict confidentiality.
Activate the appropriate protective tool on your account. If you are concerned but not yet ready to self-exclude, start by setting a deposit limit or activating a cool-off period. These tools provide an immediate, practical barrier while you seek further support.
Speak to a trusted person. Talking to a family member, close friend, or community leader — whether in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, or any other part of Bangladesh — can provide emotional support and outside perspective that is invaluable during recovery.
Seek professional counselling. Mental health professionals, including psychiatrists and counsellors available at major hospitals in Dhaka and divisional cities, are trained to assist individuals experiencing gambling-related difficulties. Gambling disorder is a recognised condition and nothing to be ashamed of.

We also strongly encourage players to contact their primary healthcare provider if gambling-related stress, anxiety, or depression is affecting their daily life. Your doctor can refer you to appropriate mental health services and provide support that goes beyond what 8999bt is able to offer as a gaming platform.

Remember: Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Many people across Bangladesh and around the world have successfully managed gambling-related difficulties with the right support. The earlier you seek help, the easier the recovery process tends to be. 8999bt is on your side — we want you to enjoy our platform safely for many years, and that means putting your wellbeing above short-term revenue.
