hb99's Responsible Gaming Commitment: We believe gambling should always be a form of entertainment, never a financial strategy or a means to resolve personal difficulties. Every tool and policy on this page exists to help you maintain a healthy relationship with gaming on the hb99 platform.

Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming

These six principles guide every responsible gaming decision hb99 makes for its players across Bangladesh.

Age Verification — 21+ Only

hb99 strictly enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all registered players in Bangladesh. Every account undergoes identity verification to confirm age before real-money play is enabled. Underage gambling is illegal, harmful, and will never be tolerated on our platform.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit ceilings directly from your hb99 account dashboard. Once a limit is in place it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period — a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions during emotionally charged sessions.

Session Time Reminders

Activate session-time alerts to receive on-screen notifications after a set period of play. Regular reminders help you stay aware of how long you have been gaming, making it easier to take healthy breaks and maintain perspective on your activity.

Time-Out / Cooling-Off

Request a temporary break from hb99 for a period of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom duration up to 6 weeks. During a time-out your account is fully suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. This feature is reversible only after the chosen period expires.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, hb99 offers a self-exclusion option of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. Self-exclusion is permanent for the chosen duration and cannot be reversed early under any circumstances. During this period all promotional communications are also suspended.

24/7 Dedicated Support

Our responsible gaming support team is available around the clock (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6) to assist with limit requests, account restrictions, self-exclusion applications, and any concerns about your gaming behaviour. Reach us at any hour — your wellbeing comes before any business consideration.

How to Use Each Protection Tool

Step-by-step guidance on activating every responsible gaming feature available on your hb99 account.

Deposit Controls
Setting and Adjusting Deposit Limits

Deposit limits are the single most effective financial safeguard available to hb99 players. You can set limits at three intervals to match your personal budget:

  • Log in to your hb99 account
  • Navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming
  • Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly limit
  • Enter your desired amount in BDT (৳)
  • Confirm — the limit applies immediately
  • To increase a limit, a 7-day review period applies
Time-Out
Activating a Cooling-Off Period

A time-out is ideal if you feel you need a short break but are not ready for full self-exclusion. Available durations are 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom period up to 42 days.

  • Go to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming
  • Select "Take a Break / Time-Out"
  • Choose your preferred duration
  • Confirm your identity when prompted
  • Account suspends immediately upon confirmation
  • Access restores automatically when period ends
Self-Exclusion
Applying for Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a firm, long-term commitment to stop gambling on hb99. Once activated, it cannot be reversed during the chosen period — this is intentional and designed to protect you.

  • Contact support at [email protected]
  • Request self-exclusion and specify duration
  • Provide your account details for verification
  • Our team processes the request within 24 hours
  • All marketing emails cease immediately
  • Re-activation only after full period completion
Reality Check
Session Time Monitoring

Reality check reminders interrupt your session at regular intervals to display how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during that session. This helps maintain clear awareness of your activity.

  • Go to Account Settings > Notifications
  • Enable "Session Time Reminder"
  • Set your reminder interval (15, 30, or 60 mins)
  • An on-screen alert appears at each interval
  • Choose to continue or end your session
  • Session data resets at midnight BST (UTC+6)
21+

Strict 21+ Age Restriction — No Exceptions

hb99 is an adults-only gambling platform. Players must be at least 21 years of age to register, deposit funds, or place any real-money bets. We verify the age and identity of every account holder. If at any point we discover that a player is under 21 years old, the account will be suspended immediately, all funds will be returned, and any winnings accrued while underage will be voided. Parents and guardians in Bangladesh are encouraged to use device-level parental controls to prevent underage access to online gambling platforms.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising these patterns early is the first and most important step toward regaining control of your gaming habits.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money already lost, often increasing stakes in the process.

Losing Track of Time

Regularly spending more time on gambling than originally planned, and feeling unable to stop when you intended to.

Neglecting Relationships

Prioritising gambling over family, friends, work, or social commitments on a regular basis.

Gambling Beyond Budget

Betting with money set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, utilities, or education.

Mood Swings

Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble, or using gambling to escape negative emotions.

Hiding Gambling Activity

Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members or close friends.

Borrowing to Gamble

Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing money from others specifically to fund gambling activity.

Failed Attempts to Stop

Making repeated decisions to cut back or stop gambling, but finding yourself unable to follow through.

If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out to hb99 support immediately to activate a self-exclusion or time-out. Early intervention makes a significant difference. You can contact us at [email protected] — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Are You Gambling Responsibly?

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, it may be time to use one of hb99's protection tools or seek additional support.

1
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally planned in a single session?
2
Have you gambled with money that was intended for household expenses, bills, or savings?
3
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day, even when you are not playing?
4
Have you tried to cut back on your gambling and found it difficult or impossible to do so?
5
Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
6
Do you use gambling as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other problems in your life?
7
After losing money, do you feel a strong urge to return as soon as possible to win it back?
8
Has gambling caused conflict in your personal relationships, your work, or your financial situation?

This self-assessment is for personal reflection only and does not constitute a clinical diagnosis. If you are concerned about your gambling, please contact hb99 support or a professional counselling service.

What Responsible Gaming Means at hb99

At hb99, responsible gaming is not a legal disclaimer — it is a core part of how we operate. We have built our platform specifically for Bangladesh players who want a premium, trustworthy environment where entertainment is always the priority. That means giving every player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control at all times.

Gambling is a leisure activity, and like any form of entertainment, it is best enjoyed within clear personal boundaries. When those boundaries become blurred — when deposits exceed budgets, when sessions run longer than planned, or when the excitement of the game gives way to stress — hb99 is here to help restore balance. Our responsible gaming framework is built around four principles: prevention, transparency, access to tools, and rapid response.

Understanding Your Gambling Budget

One of the most practical steps any hb99 player can take is to establish a clear gambling budget before placing a single bet. Your gambling budget should be a fixed amount that you are comfortable losing — never money set aside for rent, food, utilities, education, or family expenses. Treating gambling like any other discretionary spending (entertainment, dining out) helps prevent the kind of financial stress that leads to problem gambling.

When setting your budget, consider using hb99's deposit limit tools to enforce it automatically. For example, if your monthly entertainment budget is ৳3,000, set your monthly deposit limit to that exact amount. Once the limit is reached, hb99 will prevent further deposits until the monthly cycle resets. This removes the temptation to chase losses in the heat of the moment — your budget decision is made once, calmly, and then enforced automatically by the platform.

Time Awareness and Session Discipline

Time can pass quickly during an engaging gaming session — whether you are watching a cricket match live on hb99, spinning the reels on a Pragmatic Play slot, or following a crash game. Extended sessions without breaks can lead to fatigue-related decision making, where judgement about risk, bet size, and session length deteriorates.

hb99 recommends setting a hard session limit before you start playing. Decide in advance how long you will play — for example, 60 minutes — and use our session reminder tool to receive an alert when that time is up. Take regular breaks between sessions: a short walk, a meal, or simply stepping away from the screen for 20 minutes helps reset your perspective and keeps gambling in its proper place as one leisure activity among many.

Protecting Minors in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has a large and growing young population, and hb99 takes the protection of minors very seriously. Our platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above, and we apply rigorous age-verification procedures at account registration and at withdrawal request. However, we also encourage all adult account holders who share devices or home networks with younger family members to take additional precautions.

We recommend keeping your hb99 account credentials strictly private and never sharing login details with family members. Enable device-level PIN or biometric locks on phones and tablets that may be accessible to children or teenagers. Consider using browser-level parental control software if younger family members regularly use the same device as your hb99 account. These simple steps add an important additional layer of protection beyond hb99's own age-verification systems.

Gambling and Mental Wellbeing

There is a well-documented connection between problem gambling and mental health. Anxiety, depression, financial stress, and relationship difficulties can both trigger problem gambling and be caused by it — creating a cycle that can be difficult to break without external support. hb99 encourages players to be honest with themselves about the emotional state they are in when they choose to gamble.

As a general guideline: if you are gambling to feel better, to escape from a problem, or to recover from a difficult day, that is a signal worth pausing on. Gambling on hb99 should add excitement to a good day, not compensate for a bad one. If you notice that your mood around gambling is becoming more negative than positive, please reach out to our support team or consider activating a time-out period to reset your relationship with the platform.
