Player Safety & Wellbeing

Responsible Gaming at 9joy

Gambling at 9joy is meant to be an enjoyable form of entertainment. This page provides tools, guidance, and resources to help you stay in control and play within your means.

Gambling as Entertainment

9joy believes that gambling, when approached responsibly, is a legitimate form of adult entertainment. Millions of players in Bangladesh enjoy cricket betting, live casino tables, slots, and fishing games every day as a fun, recreational pastime — and we want to keep it that way for everyone on our platform.

The core principles of responsible gaming are simple: only gamble with money you can genuinely afford to lose, set time and spending limits before you start, never chase your losses, and treat gambling as entertainment — not as a way to make money or escape problems. Keeping these principles front of mind will help ensure your time on 9joy stays positive and enjoyable.

We understand that for a small number of people, gambling can become a problem. 9joy takes this seriously. We invest in player protection tools, train our support team to identify at-risk behaviour, and partner with responsible gambling resources to ensure that any player who needs help can access it quickly and confidentially. If you ever feel that gambling is no longer fun — stop, use one of our tools below, and reach out to our support team at [email protected].

Age Restriction: 21+ Only

You Must Be 21 or Older to Play on 9joy

9joy strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players. Anyone found to be under the age of 21 will have their account permanently closed and any funds returned in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

All new accounts at 9joy are subject to identity verification as part of our KYC (Know Your Customer) process. This includes verifying your date of birth against a government-issued identity document — such as your National Identity Card (NIC) or passport. We take age verification seriously and apply it consistently to every player on the platform, without exception.

If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing gambling websites, we strongly recommend installing parental control software on shared devices and keeping your 9joy login credentials strictly private and inaccessible to children.

Your Player Protection Toolkit

These tools are available inside your 9joy account dashboard at any time. Contact support if you need help activating any of them.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on the amount you can deposit into your 9joy account. Once a limit is set it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. Decreasing a limit takes effect straight away. Deposit limits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, and Upay are all supported.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum playing session duration — for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours per day. When your session limit is reached, 9joy will automatically log you out and notify you. This tool is designed to prevent prolonged unplanned play sessions, which are a common factor in problem gambling.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a complete break from gambling, you can apply for self-exclusion for a period of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During a self-exclusion period your account will be suspended, you will not be able to log in, and you will be removed from all promotional and marketing communications. Self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of your request.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable on-screen pop-up reminders at regular intervals (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes) that display how long you have been playing and how much you have spent in your current session. These reality check notifications are designed to keep you aware and in control without disrupting your entertainment.

Loss Limits

Set a cap on the maximum amount you are willing to lose in any given day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be locked out of betting and gaming activity until the limit period resets. Like deposit limits, increasing a loss limit requires a 7-day review period. This tool is particularly effective for players who find it difficult to stop when on a losing run.

Account Closure

You may request permanent closure of your 9joy account at any time by contacting support at [email protected]. Once permanently closed, your account cannot be reopened. Any verified remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, or Rocket) within 5 business days of closure. This option is available to any player, for any reason, at any time.

Recognising the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. The following are recognised warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem for you or someone you know.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford — and continuing despite financial strain.
  • Chasing losses — betting more in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.
  • Gambling interfering with work, study, family responsibilities, or social relationships.
  • Feeling irritable, restless, or anxious when not gambling, or using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or low mood.
  • Lying to friends or family members about the amount of time or money you spend on gambling.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or engaging in other financially harmful behaviour to fund gambling.
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling but finding it difficult or impossible to do so.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, please reach out to our support team immediately at [email protected] or use the self-exclusion tool in your account dashboard. It is never too late to ask for help.

How to Get Help

If you believe gambling is becoming a problem, taking these steps can help you regain control.

  1. Contact 9joy Support
    Email our support team at [email protected] and let us know you need help. Our agents are trained to handle these conversations with empathy and confidentiality. We can activate tools on your account immediately and guide you through your options without judgement.
  2. Activate a Protective Tool
    Log into your 9joy account, go to the Account Settings or Responsible Gaming section of your dashboard, and activate a deposit limit, session limit, loss limit, time-out, or self-exclusion — whichever is most appropriate for your situation. If you cannot log in or need immediate help, contact support directly.
  3. Take a Break
    Step away from gambling entirely for a defined period. Use our time-out feature for a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 1 week — or use self-exclusion for a longer break of 1 to 6 months. During any break, focus on activities you enjoy that are unrelated to gambling: sport, family time, hobbies, or social activities with friends in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or wherever you are.
  4. Seek External Support
    If gambling problems are affecting your mental health, relationships, or finances, please consider speaking with a trained counsellor. Professional support is available in Bangladesh through mental health services, community centres, and NGO-run helplines. You deserve support — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
