s9999 Responsible Gaming

s9999 operates an absolute minimum age policy of 18 years. No individual under the age of 18 may open an account, deposit funds, or participate in any game or betting market offered on our platform. This is a non-negotiable rule and applies equally to all players across Bangladesh, whether accessing s9999 from Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, or Cox's Bazar.

Age verification is conducted as part of our standard Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Every player must submit a valid government-issued photo identification — such as a National Identity Card, passport, or driving licence — before any withdrawal request can be processed. In cases where our risk team identifies a potential age-related concern at the registration stage, we reserve the right to request identity documents before a player can access any game.

Parental controls play an important role in preventing underage access to online gambling platforms. We strongly recommend that parents and guardians in Bangladesh who share a device with minors make use of parental control software and ensure that s9999 account credentials are never accessible to anyone under 18. If you suspect that a minor has created an s9999 account or accessed our platform, please report this immediately to [email protected] and the account will be suspended and investigated without delay.

s9999 believes that gambling, when approached thoughtfully, can be an enjoyable and exciting leisure activity. Whether you are backing the Bangladesh Tigers in a BPL match, spinning the reels on a Pragmatic Play slot, or sitting at a live Evolution Gaming casino table, the experience should always feel like entertainment — never an obligation or an escape from real-world problems.

We encourage all our players to keep the following safe play principles in mind every time they log in to s9999:

• Set a budget before you play. Decide in advance how much BDT you are comfortable spending in a session, and stick to that figure regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
• Never chase losses. If you have reached your planned spend for the day, log out. Chasing losses — placing larger or more frequent bets in an attempt to recover money already lost — is one of the most common paths to problem gambling.
• Treat winnings as a bonus, not an income. Gambling outcomes are determined by RNG (Random Number Generator) systems and live game probabilities. Consistent profit is not a realistic expectation, and s9999 should never be treated as a source of regular income.
• Take regular breaks. Sustained, uninterrupted gaming sessions impair judgement and decision-making. Use the session time-limit tools available in your s9999 account settings to enforce breaks automatically.
• Play sober and focused. Gambling under the influence of alcohol or while emotionally distressed often leads to poor decision-making and higher spend. If you are not in a calm, clear-headed state, it is best to log out and return another time.
• Keep gambling separate from financial obligations. Never use funds intended for rent, utility bills, groceries, school fees, or medical costs to fund gambling activity on s9999.
• Talk to someone if gambling stops being fun. If you find yourself feeling anxious, irritable, or preoccupied with gambling, it is important to speak with a trusted person or contact our support team.

These principles are not just guidelines — they represent the foundation of our commitment to player wellbeing at s9999. We are a platform built on local trust, and that trust extends to ensuring every player in Bangladesh has a safe and sustainable experience with us.

s9999 provides a suite of practical player protection tools that you can activate directly through your account settings or by contacting our support team at [email protected]. All tools are free to use, take effect immediately (where noted), and are designed to give you direct, transparent control over your gambling activity.

To activate any of the above tools, log in to your s9999 account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section within your account settings, or email our support team directly. All requests are processed on a priority basis and confirmed within 1 business day in Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).

Managing how much you deposit is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling activity within safe, sustainable boundaries. s9999 supports BDT-denominated deposit limits across three time horizons:

• Daily Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit across all payment methods (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard) within a rolling 24-hour period.
• Weekly Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit within a rolling 7-day window, calculated from the time the limit was set.
• Monthly Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit within a rolling 30-day period, providing the broadest budget-management horizon.

You may hold all three limits simultaneously. If limits conflict (for example, if your daily limit would allow a deposit that would breach your weekly cap), the more restrictive limit always takes precedence.

Reducing a limit takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed until the applicable period has elapsed. This is intentional — it prevents impulsive decisions to override a protective limit in the heat of the moment. Increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period from the time of the increase request. You will not be able to deposit above the current limit during this waiting period, even if the increase has been submitted.

Self-exclusion and time-out are the most powerful tools available to players who feel that their gambling is becoming problematic or who simply want a structured break from the platform. s9999 takes these requests with the utmost seriousness and processes them as an urgent operational priority.

Time-Out (Short-Term Break)

A time-out is designed for players who want a temporary pause without committing to a longer self-exclusion. Available durations are 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, and 4 weeks. During a time-out:

• Your s9999 account will be immediately inaccessible — you will not be able to log in.
• No deposits, bets, or game participation of any kind will be possible.
• Promotional emails and bonus offers will be suppressed for the duration of the time-out.
• Your account balance and any pending withdrawals will be preserved and available when the time-out expires.
• The time-out cannot be reversed early — it must run its full course.

Self-Exclusion (Extended Break)

Self-exclusion is intended for players who are experiencing genuine difficulty controlling their gambling. Available periods are 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and permanent (indefinite) exclusion. During self-exclusion:

• Your account is suspended immediately upon confirmation of the request.
• s9999 will make every reasonable effort to prevent you from opening a new account during the exclusion period — please do not attempt to circumvent the exclusion by registering under a different name or contact number.
• All marketing and promotional communications are permanently suppressed for the duration of the exclusion.
• Any available balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be refunded to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, bank account) within 5 business days.
• Reinstatement after a non-permanent self-exclusion requires a written request to [email protected] and a mandatory 24-hour waiting period after the exclusion period has formally ended. Reinstatement is not automatic.
• Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. If you choose this option, your s9999 account is closed for life and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances.

To request a time-out or self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" or "Time-Out Request". Include your registered account details so we can action the request without delay. You do not need to provide a reason — we will act on your request immediately and without judgement.

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise — particularly in its early stages. It affects people across all walks of life in Bangladesh, regardless of age, income level, or background. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step to addressing the issue before it causes serious harm.

The following are recognised indicators that gambling may have moved beyond a healthy leisure activity and become a problem:

If you recognise two or more of the above signs in your own behaviour, we encourage you to take action now — before the situation worsens. Use our self-exclusion tool, set a deposit limit, or reach out to our support team. You are not alone, and help is available.

The questions below are based on widely recognised problem gambling screening frameworks. Read each question honestly and consider whether it describes your experience over the past 12 months. This is not a clinical diagnosis — it is a private, personal reflection tool.

If several of these questions resonate with you, please do not feel ashamed — problem gambling is a recognised condition that responds well to early intervention. Taking action today is the strongest decision you can make. Contact our team at [email protected] or use the self-exclusion tool in your account settings.

Recognising a gambling problem and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. s9999 is committed to supporting every player in Bangladesh who needs assistance, and we will never judge or penalise anyone for reaching out. The following channels are available to you:
