Responsible Gaming at sb999 – Play Smart, Stay in Control
At sb999, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable and voluntary form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. Our Responsible Gaming programme provides every member in Bangladesh with the tools, information, and support needed to keep their play safe, balanced, and within personal limits. This page explains everything available to you.
Configurable Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly from your sb999 account settings. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately and cannot be raised for a minimum cooling-off period — ensuring your spending boundaries stay meaningful, not just symbolic.
Session Time-Out Controls
Take a voluntary break from the sb999 platform for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days using our time-out feature. During a time-out period, your account is temporarily suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications. The break gives you space to reassess your habits.
Permanent Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gambling is negatively affecting your life, sb999 offers a permanent self-exclusion option. Once activated, your account is closed and cannot be reopened. Our team will also suppress your contact details from all future marketing, making it easier to maintain your commitment to stopping.
18+ Age Enforcement
sb999 strictly enforces its minimum age policy. All members must be at least 18 years old at the point of registration. We carry out identity verification checks as part of our KYC process, and any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be immediately suspended and all funds returned in accordance with our policy.
24/7 Player Support
Our dedicated support team is available around the clock, Bangladesh Standard Time. Whether you need help activating a spending limit, requesting a time-out, or simply want to talk through concerns about your gambling habits, our team will listen without judgement and guide you to the appropriate tools or resources.
Player Education Resources
Understanding how games work — including house edge, return-to-player (RTP) percentages, and the randomness of outcomes — helps you gamble with realistic expectations. sb999 publishes game information transparently so you can make informed decisions about the games you choose and the amounts you wager.
1 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
sb999 was built to provide Bangladeshi players with a world-class online entertainment experience, but we recognise that gambling — like any form of entertainment — carries risks when it is not approached mindfully. Our Responsible Gaming programme is not a box-ticking exercise. It is a genuine, operational commitment that shapes how our platform is designed, how our support staff are trained, and how we communicate with our members every day.
We operate on the principle that informed, in-control players are the foundation of a sustainable platform. We do not want your money if you are playing to escape financial stress, to chase losses, or to meet a compulsion rather than for genuine leisure. If any of those descriptions resonate with you, please read this page fully and consider using the tools and support options we make available — or reach out to our team directly.
Our responsible gaming measures apply universally to every sb999 member across Bangladesh — whether you are based in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, or Cox's Bazar. No account is exempt from our safeguarding policies, and no player is too valuable to us to be offered a fair and non-judgemental path to safer play.
2 18+ Age Restriction and Verification
sb999 operates a strict 18+ policy. Gambling is an adult activity and is entirely unsuitable for anyone under the age of 18. This is not merely a legal formality — underage gambling causes measurable harm to young people's financial habits, mental health, and long-term relationship with money. We take our duty in this area seriously.
How We Verify Age
Every sb999 member is required to confirm at registration that they are 18 years of age or older. In addition to this declaration, our KYC verification process requires members to submit a copy of a government-issued photo ID — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card, passport, or driving licence — before their first withdrawal can be processed. Our verification team checks the date of birth on each submitted document against the member's registration details.
What Happens If Age Cannot Be Verified
If a member fails to provide satisfactory proof of age, or if there is any reason to believe that the member may be under 18, their account will be suspended pending further review. All funds deposited during the unverified period will be held and will not be used to fund gameplay. If the member is subsequently confirmed to be under 18, all deposits will be returned and the account permanently closed. Any winnings accumulated during this period will be voided.
3 Deposit Limits and Spending Controls
One of the most effective ways to keep your gambling within a healthy boundary is to set a firm cap on how much you deposit into your sb999 account within a given period. Our deposit limit tools allow you to define your own personal financial boundaries before you start playing — when you are in a calm, rational state of mind rather than in the middle of a session.
Available Limit Types
| Limit Type | Period | Takes Effect | Increase Cooling Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Deposit Limit | Rolling 24 hours | Immediately | 24 hours minimum |
| Weekly Deposit Limit | Rolling 7 days | Immediately | 7 days minimum |
| Monthly Deposit Limit | Calendar month | Immediately | 30 days minimum |
Reductions to deposit limits take effect immediately — the moment you save a lower limit, it becomes active. Increases, by contrast, do not take effect for the minimum cooling period shown above. This asymmetric design is intentional: it means that a decision made in the heat of a losing session to raise your limit cannot take effect straight away, giving you time to reconsider.
How to Set a Deposit Limit
Log In to Your Account
Access your sb999 account and navigate to your account settings or profile section.
Open Responsible Gaming Settings
Locate the Responsible Gaming or Player Safety section within your account settings panel.
Select Limit Type and Amount
Choose daily, weekly, or monthly, then enter the maximum amount in Taka (BDT) you wish to deposit within that period.
Confirm and Save
Review your chosen limit and confirm. The limit activates instantly and will block any deposit attempt that would take you over the cap.
4 Time-Out and Cool-Off Features
Sometimes the right move is simply to step away for a while. sb999's time-out feature allows you to voluntarily suspend your account for a defined short-to-medium period without permanently closing it. A time-out is ideal if you have been playing more frequently than you intended, feel that your sessions have become longer than planned, or simply want a structured break to reset your perspective.
Available Time-Out Periods
- 24-hour time-out — A single day's break. Your account is inaccessible from the moment you activate it.
- 7-day time-out — A full week away from the platform. Ideal after a heavy session or a losing streak.
- 30-day time-out — A month-long break that gives you sufficient time to reassess your habits without committing to permanent closure.
- Custom duration — Contact our support team at [email protected] to request a custom time-out period of your choosing, up to 6 months.
What Happens During a Time-Out
During an active time-out period, you will not be able to log in to your sb999 account, place any bets, or make any deposits or withdrawals. Any pending bonuses will be frozen for the duration of the break. You will not receive any promotional SMS or in-platform notifications during this period. If your time-out is 30 days or longer, our team will proactively check in with you before the period ends to make sure you are comfortable returning.
5 Self-Exclusion Programme
Self-exclusion is the most serious player protection tool available on the sb999 platform. It is designed for members who have concluded that gambling is causing them harm and who want to make a firm, lasting commitment to stop. When you self-exclude from sb999, your account is permanently closed and cannot be reopened under any circumstances.
What Self-Exclusion Covers
- Your sb999 account is permanently deactivated and all active sessions are immediately terminated.
- Your contact details — including your registered mobile number — are suppressed from all future marketing, bonus offer, and promotional communications.
- Any balance remaining at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay) within the standard withdrawal timeframe, provided all KYC verification has been completed.
- You will not be able to create a new sb999 account using the same identity details. Any attempt to do so will be identified and the new account will be closed.
How to Self-Exclude
Contact the sb999 support team directly at [email protected] and request permanent self-exclusion. Mark the subject of your message "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will process your request within 24 hours of receipt, confirm the action by reply, and your account will be closed. There is no waiting period for self-exclusion — it is actioned as quickly as possible once your request is verified.
6 Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious to the person experiencing it. Being honest with yourself about your gambling habits is an important first step. The following self-assessment questions are designed to help you reflect on whether your current approach to gambling is healthy. If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use sb999's player tools or seek external support.
If you answered "yes" to two or more of the questions above, your gambling habits may benefit from some form of intervention. This does not mean you have a serious disorder — but it does mean that taking action now, before the pattern becomes more entrenched, is a sensible and courageous step. Please read Section 7 for details of the support available to you.
7 Getting Help and Support
You do not have to manage gambling-related concerns alone. sb999 is committed to ensuring that every member who needs help knows where to find it. Whether you want a brief conversation with our support team, need to activate a player tool quickly, or would benefit from professional counselling, the options below are available to you.
Contact the sb999 Support Team
Our 24/7 support team can help you activate deposit limits, time-outs, or self-exclusion immediately. Reach us at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). When contacting us about responsible gaming, please mark your message "Responsible Gaming" so it is routed to our dedicated player safety staff. All responsible gaming enquiries are treated with complete confidentiality and handled without judgement.
Recommended Approach If You Are Struggling
Acknowledge the Concern
Recognising that gambling is becoming a problem is the most important and often the most difficult step. Honest self-assessment is the foundation of any positive change.
Use sb999's Built-In Tools
Set a deposit limit immediately to prevent further financial exposure, or activate a time-out to create distance from the platform while you think through next steps.
Talk to Someone You Trust
Speaking openly with a trusted friend, family member, or colleague about your concerns can provide immediate emotional relief and practical accountability.
Seek Professional Support
If self-management strategies are not sufficient, professional counselling from a qualified mental health or addiction specialist can provide structured, evidence-based assistance. Your personal doctor or a local mental health service in Dhaka, Chittagong, or your nearest city can provide a referral.
Consider Self-Exclusion
If you conclude that the most effective solution is to stop using sb999 entirely, request permanent self-exclusion. This removes the temptation of easy access to the platform and is the clearest signal you can give yourself — and us — of your commitment to change.
8 Protecting Minors
Protecting young people from exposure to gambling content is a shared responsibility. sb999 does everything within its technical and operational power to prevent underage access to the platform, but we also recognise that parents and guardians play a critical role in supervising their children's online activity at home.
Steps Sb999 Takes
- All new accounts must confirm that the registering member is 18 years of age or older at the point of sign-up.
- KYC identity checks include date-of-birth verification against government-issued photo ID before any withdrawals are processed.
- Accounts identified as belonging to minors are suspended immediately and all deposits are returned.
- Our platform does not target advertising at individuals who have not confirmed their age.
What Parents and Guardians Can Do
- Install family-safe content filtering software on shared devices. Popular options compatible with Android and Windows devices used widely in Bangladesh include parental control features built into Google Family Link and Windows Family Safety.
- Keep your sb999 account credentials private. Do not allow children or younger siblings to use your device while you are logged in to your account.
- Have open conversations with young people in your household about the risks of gambling and why it is restricted to adults.
- If you believe a minor has accessed sb999 using your account or their own, contact us immediately at [email protected].
