9bt | Responsible Gaming – Play Safe and Stay in Control

Responsible Gaming Principles

Keep these 6 principles in mind and betting stays enjoyable.

Only play with money you can afford to lose

Never bet with money you need for essential expenses. Only play with funds you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life.

Keep It Fun

Expecting a steady income from betting is unrealistic. Bet to add excitement to cricket or football — not as a source of livelihood.

Set time limits

Betting for long stretches without a break impairs your judgment. Set a daily time limit and stick to it.

Don't Chase Your Losses

The urge to immediately place a bigger bet to recover a loss is extremely dangerous. Take a break and make decisions with a clear head.

Talk to Someone You Trust

If you start hiding your betting from family or friends, that's a warning sign. Talking openly prevents problems from getting worse.

Have the courage to take a break

The moment you feel you're losing control of your betting, take a break right away. Self-exclusion is quick and easy to activate on 9bt.

Why Responsible Gaming Matters

Online betting is growing in popularity across Bangladesh, with millions of people enjoying cricket matches, football tournaments, and other sports every day. But like any form of entertainment, betting can have a negative impact on your personal, family, and financial life when it gets out of hand.

9bt We believe that every member's wellbeing and happiness matter far more than our bottom line. That's why responsible gaming isn't just a policy for us — it's a core value.

Statistics show that the vast majority of bettors play for entertainment and never run into problems. But a small number do sometimes lose control. We want to be there for those people and are ready to offer support whenever it's needed.

Responsible betting isn't about not having fun — it's about knowing your limits, making informed decisions, and keeping betting an enjoyable form of entertainment. On this page you'll find all of 9bt's responsible gaming tools, guidance on recognising warning signs, and directions on how to get help.

Practical Tips for Responsible Betting

Build a few simple habits to keep betting enjoyable in the long run:

Set a Monthly Budget: Set a fixed monthly betting limit for yourself and never exceed it, no matter what.
Keep a Betting Diary: Tracking your wins and losses in writing gives you a clear, honest picture of where you stand.
Don't Bet on Impulse: Betting on your favourite team out of loyalty rather than logic leads to poor decisions.
Never bet under the influence of alcohol or drugs: Poor judgment can lead to serious losses.
Take Regular Breaks: Taking a 10–15 minute break every hour helps you stay sharp and make better decisions.
Don't Chase the Dream of Winning: There is always a risk of losing in any bet — accept that reality before you play.
Family Comes First: Cover your family's needs first, then use whatever is left in your entertainment budget for betting.

1

Log in to your account and go to the "Settings" section.

2

Click on the "Responsible Gaming" tab.

3

Enter your amount in the "Deposit Limit" section and save.

Lowering a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Set a reminder for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom interval.

3

You'll receive a reminder notification when your time is up.

Temporary Break (Cooling-Off)

If you need to step away from betting for a while, activate a cooling-off period. During this time, you won't be able to log in or place any bets.

1

Go to "Take a Break" in Settings.

2

Choose a break of 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days.

General FAQ

After logging in to 9bt, click your username in the top right corner to open a dropdown menu. Go to "Account Settings", then open the "Responsible Gaming" tab. This is where you'll find all the limit tools — deposit limit, session time limit, bet limit, and cooling-off period. Each one has an "Edit" button next to it. Enter the amount or time and hit "Save" for it to take effect immediately. Keep in mind that lowering a limit takes effect instantly, but increasing one requires a 24-hour cooldown — this is intentional, to protect you from raising limits impulsively in the heat of the moment. For self-exclusion, you'll need to email our support team directly.

Your complete betting history and financial transaction records are available once you log in to your account. Select "My Account" from the top menu or your profile. You'll find two separate sections — "Betting History" and "Transaction History". Betting History shows the date, match, odds, stake, and outcome for every bet. Transaction History contains a full record of all deposits and withdrawals, with dates and amounts. You can filter by date to review activity for any specific period. Checking this regularly is a great responsible betting habit — it gives you a true picture of how much you're spending.
