The hk99 Responsible Gaming Pledge

hk99 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for all players in Bangladesh. We actively invest in tools, processes, and trained support staff to identify at-risk behaviour early, intervene responsibly, and ensure that every player who needs help can access it quickly. Gambling is entertainment — and we intend to keep it that way.

Tools Designed to Keep You in Control

hk99 provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools that every registered player can access directly from their account settings at any time. These features are free, immediate, and effective.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and after a 24-hour cooling period when increased — giving you time to reconsider. Suitable for players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and across Bangladesh managing their entertainment budget carefully.

Time-Out Feature

Need a short break? The Time-Out tool allows you to temporarily suspend your hk99 account for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Existing withdrawal requests are still processed. This is a useful reset for players who feel their gaming habits need a brief pause.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gambling is becoming more than entertainment, hk99's self-exclusion tool allows you to close your account for a minimum of 6 months, up to a permanent closure. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, all marketing communications are stopped, and re-registration attempts are blocked. Self-exclusion is enforced immediately upon request and takes priority over all other account settings.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given time period. When your net loss reaches the limit you have set — whether daily, weekly, or monthly — your ability to place further bets is paused for the rest of that period. Loss limits help you stay firmly within your personal entertainment budget, regardless of how a session is going.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable session reminders that display a pop-up notification at a frequency you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each reminder shows you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or won in that session. A simple but powerful nudge to keep you grounded and in control of how much time you invest in gaming.

Account Verification & Age Controls

Every hk99 account must pass identity and age verification before any real-money activity is permitted. Our KYC process confirms that all players are 21 years of age or older and resident in an eligible location. Documents accepted include Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) and passport. Accounts that cannot be verified to the required standard are restricted from gameplay pending review.

Is Gambling Becoming a Problem?

Problem gambling can develop gradually and may not be immediately obvious. Recognising the early warning signs is the first — and most important — step toward seeking help. If you recognise any of the following patterns in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use one of hk99's protective tools or contact our support team immediately.

Remember: Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income, solve financial problems, or cope with stress or emotional difficulty. If gambling has stopped feeling fun, that is a sign worth taking seriously.
1

Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble — or increasing bet sizes — after a losing session in an attempt to win back money already lost. This is one of the most common early indicators of problem gambling behaviour.

2

Gambling Beyond Your Means

Using money set aside for rent, utilities, food, or other essential expenses to fund gambling activity. Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial institutions specifically to gamble is a serious warning sign.

3

Loss of Time Awareness

Spending significantly more time gambling than originally intended, losing track of time during sessions, or prioritising gambling over work, studies, or family responsibilities.

4

Concealing Gambling Activity

Hiding the extent of your gambling from family members or close friends, feeling defensive or secretive when the topic arises, or lying about the amounts of time or money spent on gambling.

5

Emotional Dependence on Gambling

Using gambling as a primary coping mechanism for stress, anxiety, depression, or boredom. Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to gamble, or gambling to escape negative feelings rather than for enjoyment.

6

Repeated Failed Attempts to Stop

Making repeated but unsuccessful efforts to cut back or stop gambling entirely. Feeling a sense of loss of control over the frequency or amount of gambling despite genuine intentions to reduce it.

Check In With Yourself

The following questions are designed to help you reflect honestly on your gambling habits. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it is a personal check-in. If you answer "yes" to three or more of the questions below, we strongly recommend you reach out to hk99's support team or contact an independent gambling support organisation.

Honest self-reflection is a sign of strength. Recognising a potential problem early gives you more options and makes it significantly easier to address. hk99's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist you without judgment.

To activate any of hk99's protective tools — including deposit limits, time-out, loss limits, or self-exclusion — log in to your account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings, or contact our live chat support team directly for immediate assistance.

Our Approach to Responsible Gaming at hk99

hk99 was built on the principle that online gaming in Bangladesh should be entertaining, transparent, and safe. We recognise that while the vast majority of our players enjoy betting on cricket matches, playing live casino games, and spinning slots as a leisure activity, a small percentage of individuals may develop unhealthy patterns over time. Our responsible gaming programme exists to protect those individuals — and to create an environment where all players can participate with confidence.

Our approach is proactive, not reactive. Rather than waiting for players to report a problem, hk99 uses internal monitoring systems to flag unusual patterns in account activity — such as sudden increases in deposit frequency, rapid escalation in bet sizes, or irregular session timing. When our system identifies potential at-risk behaviour, our responsible gaming team initiates a welfare contact with the player to check in and offer support tools.

All hk99 customer support staff who interact with players on responsible gaming matters receive dedicated training. They are equipped to handle sensitive conversations with empathy, to explain available protective tools clearly, and to assist players in activating limits or exclusions quickly and without friction.

Age Verification: Protecting Minors

hk99 operates a strict 21+ age policy. No player may register an account, make a deposit, or participate in any real-money game on hk99.biz without first completing our identity and age verification process. Accepted documents include the Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID), passport, and driving licence. All identity documents are reviewed for authenticity before full account access is granted.

In addition to account-level verification, we encourage parents and guardians in Bangladesh to make use of parental control software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing gambling content. If you are aware of a minor who has accessed hk99.biz, please notify us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take prompt action.

Financial Safeguards

hk99 processes all deposits and withdrawals in BDT through verified payment channels including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay. Each payment method is linked to a verified account held in the player's name, which provides an additional layer of identity verification and ensures that funds cannot easily be deposited anonymously. All player funds are maintained separately from hk99's operational funds, ensuring they are protected and available for withdrawal at any time.

Important: hk99 will never encourage a player to increase their deposit limit, place larger bets, or continue playing after they have expressed a desire to stop or reduce their activity. Our commercial objectives are always secondary to player welfare.

Responsible Marketing

hk99 is committed to marketing its services responsibly. Our promotional materials are designed to attract adults who choose to gamble for entertainment, and we do not target marketing at vulnerable individuals or those who have self-excluded. All bonus and promotion communications clearly state applicable terms, wagering requirements, and responsible gaming guidance. Players who have activated a self-exclusion or time-out are automatically removed from all marketing lists for the duration of their restriction.

Practical Tips for Safe Play

Regardless of how experienced you are as a player, maintaining healthy gaming habits is something everyone benefits from. The following practical guidelines are recommended for all hk99 players in Bangladesh:

  • Set a budget before you play and treat it as your entertainment spend for that session — not as capital to grow.
  • Never chase losses. Accept that losing is a normal part of gambling. No bet size or strategy can guarantee a return.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen periodically. Even a 10-minute break resets your focus and helps you make calmer decisions.
  • Keep gambling in perspective. It should be one of many leisure activities, not your primary source of excitement or stress relief.
  • Do not gamble under the influence of alcohol or other substances that affect your judgment and impulse control.
  • Use hk99's limit tools proactively — set deposit and loss limits before you start playing, not after you have already exceeded your comfort zone.
  • Talk to someone if you feel gambling is affecting your relationships, finances, or mental wellbeing. There is no shame in asking for help.
  • Monitor your time. Enable session reminders on your hk99 account to keep track of how long you have been playing in each session.
Seasonal Reminder: Periods such as Eid, BPL cricket season, and T20 tournaments tend to bring heightened excitement and increased betting activity. During these periods, it is especially important to stick to your pre-set budget and not let the festive atmosphere lead to impulsive wagering decisions.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion

If you have decided that a period of self-exclusion is the right step for you, follow these steps:

  • Log in to your hk99 account at hk99.biz
  • Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming
  • Select "Self-Exclusion" and choose your preferred duration
  • Confirm your request — your account will be locked immediately
  • Alternatively, contact our live chat or email [email protected] for immediate assisted exclusion

Self-exclusion takes effect immediately upon confirmation. During the exclusion period, any attempt to re-register on hk99.biz will be detected and blocked. Any funds remaining in your account at the time of exclusion will be processed for withdrawal to your verified payment method.

Our Commitment to You

hk99 takes responsible gaming seriously not because we are required to, but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player who chooses to spend their leisure time on our platform. Bangladesh deserves a trustworthy, player-first betting experience — and that is exactly what hk99 is built to deliver.

Play Smart. Play Safe. Play with hk99.

Enjoy cricket betting, live casino, and slots on Bangladesh's trusted platform — with the tools and support you need to always stay in control.
