Responsible Gaming
at af999 — Play Smart,
Stay in Control
af999 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for every player in Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming framework gives you the tools, information, and support you need to keep gambling fun — and to step back when it stops being that.
Gambling Should Always Be Entertainment
At af999, we believe that online casino games and cricket betting are a source of entertainment — something you do for fun, within your means, and with full control over how much time and money you spend. We have built Bangladesh's most trusted gaming platform with that principle at its core. Responsible gaming is not an afterthought at af999; it is built into the foundations of how the platform operates.
For the vast majority of players, gambling remains a perfectly enjoyable leisure activity. However, af999 recognises that for a small number of people, gambling can develop into a pattern of behaviour that causes real financial, emotional, and social harm. Identifying the signs early — and having the right tools available to act on them — makes all the difference. That is why af999 provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming features that every registered player in Bangladesh can access at no cost, directly through their account.
This page explains every tool and resource available to af999 players. It also outlines the 21+ age restriction that applies to all accounts without exception, describes the warning signs of problem gambling, and provides clear guidance on how to contact our support team if gambling is no longer feeling like fun. All support is available in English, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including during BPL season, Eid, and all Bangladesh public holidays.
If you feel that your gambling is causing distress or financial difficulty right now, please do not wait. Use the self-exclusion tool described in Section 4 of this page, or contact our support team immediately via live chat at [email protected]. You do not need to wait until things get worse. Help is available the moment you ask for it.
Important Reminder: Gambling involves financial risk. No game on the af999 platform — including casino slots, live table games, Teen Patti Joker, Gates of Olympus, or cricket betting markets — guarantees a financial return. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Set a budget before you play and stick to it.
Gambling at af999 is entertainment, not a way to make money or recover financial losses. If chasing losses, please stop immediately and contact our support team.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious at first. These are the most common warning signs that gambling may be becoming harmful. If you recognise any of these patterns in yourself or someone you know, it is time to take action.
Continuing to gamble after a losing session with the goal of winning back what was lost. Chasing losses is one of the most dangerous patterns in problem gambling and almost always makes the situation worse.
Spending more on gambling than you planned, using money set aside for rent, food, bills, or family needs. If gambling is affecting your household finances in Bangladesh, this is a serious warning sign.
Regularly spending far more time on gambling sessions than intended, losing track of how long you have been playing, or feeling that time passes unusually quickly while gambling.
Withdrawing from family, friends, or social commitments in order to gamble. This includes missing family events, Eid gatherings, or work obligations because of gambling activity.
Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, or depression. Using gambling as an emotional escape is a sign that it is playing an unhealthy role in your life.
Lying to family members or close friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling, or feeling ashamed or secretive about your gambling behaviour.
Needing to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to feel the same level of excitement. Constantly increasing your deposit or bet sizes to maintain the same experience.
Repeatedly trying to reduce or stop gambling but failing to do so. Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down on gambling sessions.
Taking out loans, using bKash or Nagad credit facilities, or borrowing money from family and friends specifically to fund gambling activity. Financial borrowing for gambling is a serious red flag.
If you recognise three or more of these signs: Please contact the af999 support team right now via live chat. Our team is trained in responsible gaming support and will help you activate the appropriate protective tools on your account — confidentially, without judgment, and at no cost.
af999 Responsible Gaming Tools
Every af999 player has access to a full suite of responsible gaming controls, all available at no cost and all activatable immediately through our 24/7 support team. Here is a complete overview of every tool available to you.
Set a maximum amount you are permitted to deposit into your af999 account over a defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be processed until the period resets. Deposit limits can be lowered immediately; increases require a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gambling spend within a planned budget.
Instant ReductionDefine the maximum net loss you are prepared to accept within a given daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once you reach your loss limit, your account is automatically restricted from further wagering activity for the remainder of that period. Loss limits operate independently from deposit limits, giving you a second layer of financial protection on top of your deposit controls.
Free to SetSet a maximum duration for each gaming session on af999. When your session timer expires, you will receive a clear on-screen notification and your session will be ended automatically. Session time limits are particularly effective for players who find it difficult to track how long they have been playing, especially during late-night cricket betting sessions or extended slot game runs.
Real-Time AlertConfigure af999 to send you periodic in-session reminders showing exactly how long you have been playing, your net win/loss for the session, and your total deposits for the current period. Reality checks are a powerful awareness tool — they break the immersive flow of a gaming session and give you a clear picture of your current position so you can make an informed decision about whether to continue.
Awareness ToolTake a short break from gambling without permanently closing your account. af999 cool-off periods are available in durations of 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During a cool-off period, your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bets. The cool-off activates immediately upon request and cannot be cancelled early — this deliberate friction gives you genuine breathing space.
Immediate ActivationSelf-exclusion is a formal, longer-term tool for players who feel they need a sustained break from gambling. af999 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Once self-exclusion is active, your account is locked, all marketing communications are stopped, and no new account can be opened from the same verified identity. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected].
Strictly EnforcedEvery af999 player can request a full account statement showing all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, games played, and net results over any period. Reviewing your account history regularly is one of the simplest ways to maintain an honest picture of your gambling activity. Statements are available on demand through the af999 support team at no charge.
On DemandIn addition to deposit and loss controls, af999 allows players to set maximum single-bet or single-spin wager amounts. Wager limits are particularly useful for managing bankroll on high-volatility slots like Gates of Olympus or during live cricket betting markets with large price swings. Setting a maximum stake per wager keeps individual losses manageable even during a run of bad luck.
Per-Game Controlaf999 strongly recommends that all players in Bangladesh who share a computer, smartphone, or tablet with minors use device-level parental control software to block access to gambling websites. Popular options compatible with Android and iOS devices used widely in Bangladesh include Google Family Link and iOS Screen Time. af999 also recommends locking the af999 app with a device PIN or biometric lock to prevent unauthorised access by children.
21+ Policyaf999 is Strictly 21+ — No Exceptions
af999 enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years old for all account registrations, deposits, withdrawals, and wagering activity on the platform. This applies to every player in Bangladesh regardless of location, payment method, or any other factor. The 21+ policy is non-negotiable and is enforced at multiple stages of the player journey.
During account registration, all players are required to confirm their date of birth and agree that they are aged 21 or above. Before any withdrawal is processed, af999 completes a Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification process that includes confirming age against a government-issued identity document such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card, passport, or BRTA driver's licence. Any account found to belong to a player under the age of 21 will be immediately closed and all funds will be handled in accordance with the af999 Terms & Conditions.
- Registration check: Date of birth collected and verified at sign-up; players must confirm they are 21+
- KYC document verification: Age confirmed against National ID Card, passport, or driver's licence before first withdrawal
- Payment method verification: Mobile wallet accounts (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay) must be registered in the player's own name, consistent with the af999 account identity
- Ongoing monitoring: af999 reserves the right to request additional age verification evidence at any time if there is reason to doubt the account holder's age
- Immediate closure: Any account confirmed to belong to a player under 21 is closed without delay and reported to the relevant internal compliance team
- Parental responsibility: Parents and guardians in Bangladesh are asked to take all reasonable steps to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites on shared or family-owned devices
Ask Yourself These 10 Questions
This quick self-assessment is designed to help you reflect honestly on your gambling behaviour. There are no right or wrong answers, and your responses are entirely private.

This self-assessment is for personal reflection only. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool. For professional help with gambling-related concerns, please contact our support team at [email protected] — available 24/7 in English.

Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Gambling
Following these practical guidelines will help you keep gambling at af999 a positive and controlled experience. These habits are recommended for every player in Bangladesh, regardless of how long they have been playing.
Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing before you open the af999 platform. This should be money you can afford to lose without it affecting your household budget in Bangladesh — rent, food, transport, school fees, bKash transfers to family, and other essential expenses always come first. Once you have spent your session budget, stop — regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
Decide how long you will play before you start. Set an alarm on your phone or use the af999 session time limit feature. When your time is up, close the platform — even if you are in the middle of a cricket betting market or a slot bonus round. Sticking to your time limit is just as important as sticking to your money budget.
Losing sessions are a normal part of gambling — every game on af999 has a house edge, and short-term results are governed by chance. The moment you find yourself increasing your bets or continuing to play specifically because you want to recover lost money, stop immediately. Chasing losses consistently leads to larger losses and is one of the clearest warning signs of problem gambling.
Step away from the screen regularly during your gaming session. Stand up, stretch, have a glass of water, and spend a few minutes doing something unrelated to gambling. Regular breaks help you maintain a clear perspective on your session and make it easier to stick to your time and money limits. If taking breaks feels difficult, use the af999 reality check reminder feature.
Your decision-making is impaired when you are tired, stressed, emotionally upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Avoid opening af999 during these states. Many players in Bangladesh report that their most regretted sessions occurred late at night or during periods of personal stress. If you are not in a calm, clear-headed state, it is the wrong time to gamble.
Never count on gambling winnings as a source of income, a way to pay off debts, or a financial plan. Winnings at af999 — whether from cricket betting, slots, or live casino games — should be treated as an occasional bonus on top of your entertainment, not as an expected financial outcome. The house edge means that over the long run, the platform retains a percentage of all wagers placed.
