🛡️ Responsible Gaming Tools

Everything available at 99bd for a safe gaming experience

Set Deposit Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, increasing it is intentionally difficult — but you can lower it at any time. It's one of the easiest ways to protect yourself.

Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how long you'll play in one session. Once the time is up, 99bd will automatically display a break reminder. Easily keep track of how long you've been playing.

Cool-Off Period

Feel like you need a break? Take a voluntary break of anywhere from 24 hours to 3 months. During the cool-off period, you won't be able to log in. It's entirely your call — no questions asked.

Self-Exclusion

If you want a long-term or permanent break from gaming, use Self-Exclusion. You can lock your account for anywhere from 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. It's a simple decision — just let our support team know.

Reality check

A prompt appears every 30/60/90 minutes showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. This small reminder can make a big difference when it counts.

Child Protection

Children at home? Enable the PIN lock and parental controls in the 99bd app. We also recommend using Net Nanny or K9 Web Protection on your device.

🎯 What Is Responsible Gaming and Why Does It Matter?

Responsible gaming means playing for fun, staying within your limits, and being able to stop when you need to. Everyone who joins 99bd is here for entertainment — and that's perfectly normal. But when playing becomes a compulsion rather than a choice, it stops being entertainment and becomes a problem.

Research from around the world shows that only 1–3% of online gaming users develop addiction issues. The remaining 97% play in a healthy, controlled manner. 99bd's goal is to identify that 1–3% and provide the right support — while keeping the experience enjoyable for everyone else.

At 99bd, responsible gaming isn't just a policy — it's a genuine commitment to our members' wellbeing. That's why we've built a robust protection system combining technology, trained support staff, and user-controlled tools.

Keep in mind: Gaming should never be seen as a source of income. It's entertainment — just like watching a movie or playing cricket. Always play prepared for the possibility of losing.

⚠️ Recognise the Warning Signs

Watch out for the following signs in yourself or someone close to you — they may be early indicators of a gaming problem:

💸
Spending beyond your means: You're spending money on gaming that was meant for rent, food, or essential family expenses.
😟
Chasing losses with bigger bets: Chasing losses by placing bigger and bigger bets.
🕐
Spending more time than planned: You sit down for a quick game, and before you know it, hours have gone by.
🙈
Hiding it from family and friends: You're hiding how much you're playing or losing from the people close to you.
😰
Restlessness or anxiety when not playing: You feel irritable or restless when you're not playing.
🚫
Failed attempts to stop: You keep resolving to quit but can't stop playing.
📉
Impact on work or studies: Gaming is cutting into time you'd normally spend on work, studies, or sleep.

💡 Healthy Gaming Habits

Here are the habits that keep 99bd members playing in a healthy, enjoyable way — make them your own:

1
Set Your Budget First

Decide in advance how much you'll spend on gaming each month. Keep it as part of your entertainment budget — separate from essential expenses.

2
Set a time limit before you start

Decide how long you'll play before you start. Set an alarm on your phone or watch. Stop when the time is up — whether you're ahead or behind.

3
Only play when you're in a calm headspace

Never play when you're stressed, angry, or feeling low. Your judgment is impaired in those moments, and the risk of overbetting increases significantly.

4
Accept losses gracefully

Losses are part of gaming. Don't chase them by betting more to win back what you've lost — that's the first step toward addiction.

5
Let Your Family Know

Let the people close to you know that you gamble. There's no need to hide it — transparency is the clearest sign of healthy gaming.

❓ Questions about Responsible Gaming

Frequently Asked Questions from Our Members

Yes, absolutely. Before activating Self-Exclusion, you can withdraw your full available balance. Any active bonuses will be cancelled — but your own deposited funds are completely safe.

During the cool-off period, you won't be able to log in. Your balance and history will remain safe. Your account will be reactivated automatically once the period ends. No promotional emails will be sent during this time.

Start by talking to them with empathy — no anger, no judgment. You can also file a third-party report with 99bd support. We'll review the situation and do our best to assist the member concerned. Remember — asking for help isn't weakness; it takes courage.

Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. However, to increase a limit, 99bd applies a "cooling period" — typically 72 hours — giving you time to reconsider your decision. This policy protects you from making impulsive choices in the heat of the moment.

Absolutely not. Only adults aged 18 or above can create an account on 99bd. Date of birth is verified at registration, and age confirmation is mandatory during KYC. Any account identified as belonging to a minor is closed immediately.
