Know the Signs
Understanding Problem Gambling
Responsible gaming starts with understanding what gambling is and what it is not. At c999, we want every player in Bangladesh to enjoy the platform as a form of entertainment — the same way you might enjoy watching a cricket match or going to the cinema. It is something you do for fun, with money you can afford to spend, and within time you have set aside for it.
Problem gambling is when gaming stops being fun and starts causing harm — to your finances, your relationships, your mental health, or your daily life. It can happen gradually, and many people do not realise it is happening until the impact is already significant. That is why c999 takes responsible gaming seriously and provides tools to help you stay aware before things reach that point.
Warning Signs to Watch For
c999 encourages all players to regularly check in with themselves. The following are common warning signs that your gaming may be moving from entertainment into something more problematic:
- Spending more money on c999 than you originally planned or can afford.
- Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play on c999.
- Hiding your gaming activity from family members or close friends.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your gaming.
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of time spent gaming.
- Using gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties.
- Repeatedly trying to cut back on gaming but finding it difficult to do so.
- Thinking about gaming constantly, even when you are doing other things.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself, it does not mean you have failed — it means you are self-aware, and that is the first step. c999 is here to help, not to judge. Reach out to our support team or use the self-exclusion tool in your account settings right away.
Important: If you believe your gambling has become a serious problem, please consider taking a break from c999 immediately using our self-exclusion feature. You can also speak to a trusted person in your life or seek professional support. Your wellbeing is more important than any game.

Keeping Gaming Fun — Practical Tips
Responsible gaming is not just about using tools — it is also about the mindset you bring to the platform. Here are some practical habits that c999 recommends to all players:
- Set a budget before you play — decide how much you are comfortable spending before you open c999, and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
- Set a time limit — decide how long you will play before you start, and stick to it. Use c999's session timer to help.
- Never chase losses — if you have reached your loss limit for the day, stop. Chasing losses almost always makes things worse.
- Take regular breaks — step away from the screen regularly. A short break helps you stay clear-headed and in control.
- Do not play when emotional — avoid gaming when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair decision-making.
- Keep gaming in balance — make sure gaming is just one of many activities in your life, not the main one.
Age Verification and Underage Gaming
c999 operates a strict 18+ policy. All players are required to verify their age during the registration process, and c999 conducts additional identity checks on accounts where age cannot be confirmed from registration data alone. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be immediately closed and all funds returned.
If you share a device with younger family members, c999 recommends enabling parental controls on your device and never saving your c999 login credentials in a shared browser. Keep your account details private to prevent underage access.
