What does responsible gaming actually mean?

Responsible Gaming isn't just about following rules — it's a mindset, a way of living. At ph99, we see gaming as a healthy form of entertainment. The core idea is simple: you are always in control of the game, not the other way around.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. But the fun turns into a problem when we lose sight of our limits. ph99 sees responsible gaming not just as a policy, but as every player's right. That's why we've built tools designed to keep you healthy and happy at all times.

Keep these three core principles of responsible gaming in mind: First — Gaming is for entertainment only, not a source of income. Second — Don't chase losses by placing bigger bets. Third — Never wager more than you can afford to lose.

🌿

ph99's Philosophy: We want every player to enjoy the game and leave with a smile. Let gaming be the best part of your day — not a source of worry.

Signs of Problematic Gaming

Problematic gaming or gaming addiction develops gradually — often without us realizing it. Watch out for the signs below in yourself or someone close to you, and seek help if needed.

  • Losing track of time: You sit down to play and hours pass without you even noticing.
  • Hiding financial difficulties: Hiding gaming expenses from family or friends.
  • Repeatedly playing to recover lost money: Chasing losses by placing bigger bets after a loss.
  • Neglecting daily responsibilities: Losing focus on work, studies, or family responsibilities.
  • Emotional distress: Feeling restless, irritable, or low when you can't play.
  • Borrowing to fund gaming: Borrowing money or cutting essential expenses to fund gaming.
  • Relationship strain: Gaming is causing more arguments with family or friends.
  • Feeling out of control: You want to stop but find yourself unable to.
🚨

Warning: If you notice any three of the above signs in yourself, it may indicate problematic gaming. Contact ph99 Support right away or use the self-exclusion tool.

Self-Assessment

Answer the questions below honestly to check your gaming habits. This is a simple self-assessment — not a substitute for professional advice, but a useful starting point.

Ask yourself — is your gaming healthy?

Am I staying within my set gaming budget?
Can I stay calm when I'm not gaming?
Is gaming cutting into my time with family?
Can I accept losses without much difficulty?
Have I ever borrowed money specifically to fund gaming?
Is my work or study still on track?

If most of your answers to the questions above are "No", start using ph99's responsible gaming tools. The first step is the hardest — but it's the most important.

Set Your Limits

From Account Settings on ph99, you can set various limits on your own. Once a limit is set, it cannot be changed before the specified period ends — so you can't raise your own limits on impulse.

Limit Type Alternative Effective from Status
Deposit Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediate Active
Bet Limit Per bet / Daily Immediate Active
Loss Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediate Active
Session Time Limit 30 min / 1 hr / 2 hrs / Custom Immediate Optional
Break (Cool-off) 1 day / 1 week / 1 month Immediate Temporary
Self-Exclusion 6 months / 1 year / Permanent Within 24 hours Strict
💡

Tip: Lowering a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing or removing one requires a 24–72 hour waiting period. This is intentional — to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Self-Exclusion Process

Self-exclusion is the most serious step in responsible gaming. If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your life and you cannot control it on your own — self-exclusion is the right choice.

When you self-exclude on ph99, your account will be completely disabled for the chosen period. You will not be able to log in, make deposits, or play any games during this time. Promotional messages will also be paused until the self-exclusion period ends.

  1. Go to the "Responsible Gaming" section in Account Settings.
  2. Select the "Self-Exclusion" option.
  3. Choose a duration: 6 months, 1 year, or permanent.
  4. Verify your identity and provide a reason (optional).
  5. Takes effect within 24 hours of receiving the confirmation email.
⚠️

Important: Do not attempt to create a new account during your self-exclusion period — our system will detect it and both accounts will be permanently closed.

Family Protection & Parental Controls

If a family member has a gaming problem, you can report it directly to ph99. After appropriate verification, we will take the necessary steps on the account in question.

If there are minors at home, keep parental controls enabled on your devices. Use router-based filters or the built-in screen time tools on Android/iOS to restrict access to the ph99 app or website.

  • Android: Use Digital Wellbeing and Parental Control settings.
  • iOS/iPad: Enable app limits and content restrictions from Screen Time settings.
  • PC / Laptop: Use Windows Family Safety or third-party content filtering software.
