Responsible Gaming at dk9
We want every player to enjoy dk9 safely and within their means. This page explains the tools and guidance available to help you stay in control of your gaming activity.
Gaming Should Always Be Fun
At dk9, we believe that online gaming is a form of entertainment that should remain enjoyable, social, and firmly within the limits that each individual sets for themselves. We serve thousands of players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet and Cox's Bazar — and the safety and wellbeing of every one of them is a priority we take seriously.
Responsible gaming at dk9 means giving players the knowledge, tools and support to make informed decisions about their own gambling behaviour. Whether you are playing cricket betting, slots, live casino games or any other product on dk9, the principle is the same: know your limits, set them before you start, and stick to them.
dk9 will never pressure you to continue playing when you want to stop. We do not send aggressive re-engagement communications to players who have chosen to limit or pause their activity. Our team is available 24/7 to provide support, answer questions about our responsible gaming tools, and action self-exclusion or limit requests promptly.
Your Player Protection Tools
How to Set Your Limits on dk9
Setting responsible gaming limits on dk9 is straightforward and can be done at any time from your account settings. We strongly encourage every player to configure their limits before making their first deposit — it takes only a few minutes and gives you clear boundaries to enjoy your gaming responsibly.
All limit adjustments that increase your current limits are subject to a minimum 24-hour cooling-off period before they activate. This gives you time to reconsider any decision made in the heat of the moment. Reductions take effect immediately.

Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling problems can develop gradually and are not always easy to recognise in yourself. The following signs may indicate that gambling is moving from entertainment to a problem that needs attention. If you recognise any of these in your own behaviour, we encourage you to use our player protection tools or contact our support team without delay.
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose.
- Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
- Feeling irritable, anxious or restless when you try to cut down or stop gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity.
- Lying to family or friends about the time or money you spend on gambling.
- Neglecting work, family obligations or personal health because of gambling.
- Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, depression, loneliness or other personal problems.
If you recognise one or more of these warning signs in your behaviour, please do not wait. Contact our support team at [email protected] to activate a self-exclusion, a time-out, or simply to talk. Help is always available — you do not need to face this alone.
Self-Exclusion: How It Works at dk9
Self-exclusion is the strongest player protection tool available on the dk9 platform. When you activate a self-exclusion, your account is immediately locked and you will not be able to log in, deposit, or access any games for the duration of the exclusion period you have chosen.
Self-exclusion periods available at dk9 are: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, and permanent exclusion. During any self-exclusion period, dk9 will not send you any promotional communications. If you attempt to create a new account during your self-exclusion period, that account will also be closed when identified.
To activate self-exclusion, go to your account's Responsible Gaming settings, or contact our support team directly via email at [email protected]. Self-exclusion requests received by email are processed within 24 hours and — in urgent cases — can be prioritised for same-day activation. Any real-money balance remaining in your account will be returned to your registered payment method after identity verification.
To request a self-exclusion at any time, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and state the duration you require. Our responsible gaming team will action your request and send a confirmation within 24 hours.
Tips for Playing Safely at dk9
- Always set a budget before you start playing and never exceed it — treat any losses as the cost of entertainment, not money you need to win back.
- Never gamble with money that is reserved for essential expenses such as rent, food, bills, school fees or family obligations.
- Take regular breaks during gaming sessions — stand up, move around, and step away from the screen at least once every hour.
- Never gamble under the influence of alcohol, medication or when you are feeling emotionally low — impaired judgment leads to poor decisions.
- Do not chase losses. If you have reached your loss limit for the session, close the app and come back another day with a fresh mindset.
- Keep gambling as one of many leisure activities — maintain a healthy balance with time spent on family, friends, sport, and other hobbies.
- If someone close to you has expressed concern about your gambling, take their words seriously — the perspective of a trusted person is often clearer than our own self-assessment.
Protecting Under-21 Players
dk9 operates a strict 21+ age policy. We verify the age and identity of all players during the registration and KYC process. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended, the player will be permanently excluded from the platform, and any funds in the account will be handled in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Parents and guardians in Bangladesh are encouraged to install parental control software on shared devices to prevent underage access to online gaming and gambling platforms. Keep your dk9 account login credentials private and never share them with younger family members.
If you believe that a person under the age of 21 has registered or is using a dk9 account, please report this to us immediately at [email protected]. We take all reports seriously and will investigate and act without delay.
