Safe and Informed Betting

9bet Guide to Responsible Gambling

Sports and casino betting should be enjoyable — not stressful. 9bet believes that with the right information, tools, and support, every player can set healthy limits for themselves.

For ages 21 and above — betting by minors is strictly prohibited
Age requirement: All casino and betting activity on 9bet is for persons aged 21 or above only. Being 18 or 20 is not sufficient — opening an account or placing a bet is not permitted unless you are 21 or older.
Why This Matters

Betting is a form of entertainment, not a source of income

Online betting and casino games are a leisure activity. But when they become a habit that harms other areas of life, they can turn into a problem. 9bet wants every player to understand their financial means, spend time with family, fulfil other responsibilities, and then enjoy the games.

Our Terms and Conditions set out the important betting rules that every user should know. Following these rules is not just an obligation — it is a way to keep yourself protected.

Responsible gambling means deciding in advance how much time and money you will spend, and sticking to those limits. The urge to place more bets to recover losses creates a dangerous cycle.

Remember: Betting can never be a guaranteed source of income. Both winning and losing are possible. You should not use money for betting if losing it would affect your daily life.
Stay Protected

Self-Control Tools

9bet provides a number of practical tools to help players keep their betting activity in check.

Set Deposit Limits

Decide in advance how much you will deposit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made — this is a strong defence against overspending.

Session Time Limits

Set a time limit for how long you play in one session. When the time is up, the system will automatically notify you. Long sessions can lead to mental fatigue and poor decisions.

Self-Exclusion

Block your own account for a set period of time. Exclusion is available from 30 days up to permanent. During this period, logging in or placing bets is not possible.

Loss Limits

Set your session to stop automatically once you have lost a certain amount. This protects you from losing even more while trying to chase losses.

Betting History Review

Log in to your account to view your full betting history — how much time, money, and which games you have spent on. Staying aware of your own habits is the first step in responsible betting.

If any of the signs below apply to you, it is time to seek help.

  • You are using money set aside for essential expenses (rent, food, your children's education) to place bets.
  • You cannot accept losses and keep betting more and more to try to recover them.
  • You are hiding your betting from family or friends, or lying about it.
  • You feel restless, angry, or anxious when you cannot bet.
  • You are prioritising betting over work, family, or your social life.
  • You have tried many times to cut down on betting but have not been able to.
  • You are betting with borrowed money or betting more to pay off debts.
Healthy Habits

Core Principles of Responsible Gambling

Following these simple guidelines keeps betting an enjoyable experience.

Set a budget before you start and do not bet a single taka beyond it.
Do not bet while under the influence of alcohol or medication — your ability to make decisions is reduced.
Take breaks — resting for a while every hour helps keep your mind clear.
Keep betting separate from emotions — it is best not to bet out of frustration when your favourite team loses.
Be glad when you win and accept it when you lose — both are normal. If a win feels certain, be sceptical.

Family and Loved Ones

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Responsible Gambling

Answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about responsible betting.

Once the self-exclusion period (such as 30, 60, or 90 days) ends, you can contact the support team to reactivate your account. However, if you chose permanent self-exclusion, your account cannot be reactivated. During the exclusion period, logging in is not possible under any circumstances.

Requests to lower a limit take effect immediately. However, requests to raise a limit go through a waiting period (cooling-off period) — this reduces the chance of increasing limits on impulse and placing larger bets. Contact support via live chat for any changes.

If you notice a family member struggling with this, speak to them calmly. Raise the issue with empathy rather than blame. Seek help from a professional counsellor if needed. You can also inform the 9bet support team — they can take steps regarding the account in question.

Anyone under 21 is not permitted to open an account on 9bet. Age is verified during registration and confirmed again at the identity verification stage. Protecting minors from betting is one of 9bet's top priorities.

If you have a balance in your account when self-exclusion is activated, a withdrawal can be arranged through the support team. No bets or transactions can be made during the exclusion period. Contact live chat for further details.

Yes, mental health experts recognise betting addiction as an established behavioural addiction. It is not a sign of weak willpower — it is a treatable condition. Many people have successfully overcome it with help from professional counsellors or mental health practitioners.
