Responsible Gaming Key Features

The tools and policies we use to keep your gaming experience safe on the ko9 platform.

Deposit Limit

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period, but reductions apply straight away.

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When the time is up, ko9 will automatically send you a warning and, if needed, end the session.

Cool-off

If you need a short break, take a cool-off for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this time, you will not be able to access your account and marketing messages will be paused.

Self-Exclusion

Use the Self-Exclusion feature for a longer break — from 6 months up to 5 years. Your account will be completely closed during this period and opening a new account will be prevented.

Set a Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit for a given period. Once you reach that limit, ko9 will no longer accept bets from you. This is a highly effective tool for protecting your finances.

Reality Check

A pop-up message will appear at set intervals to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. This helps you stay aware and in control.

What is responsible gaming and why does it matter?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming purely as entertainment — not as a source of income or a way to solve problems. At ko9, we firmly believe every player is capable of managing their own time, money, and attention wisely, and we are committed to providing the right tools and support to help them do so.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. In this evolving landscape, ko9 is committed to ensuring that responsible gaming goes beyond policy documents and is put into real practice. Our platform offers a range of tools you can use on your own, and our support team is always here for you.

Gaming should be fun. But sometimes people lose control without even realizing it. By following ko9's responsible gaming guidelines, you can stay aware and in control at all times — and get genuine enjoyment out of gaming.

Remember: Gaming is a form of entertainment. Winning is never guaranteed, and losses are part of the experience. Never chase your losses by placing more bets.
Setting Limits — Stay in Control

Setting limits is the cornerstone of responsible gaming at ko9. Decide in advance how much time and money you are willing to spend. These limits help you avoid making decisions driven by emotion.

Daily Limit
Daily maximum deposit or spend
Weekly Limit
Weekly total spend cap
Monthly Limit
Manage your monthly budget
Time Limit
Daily maximum playtime
Loss Limit
Maximum loss limit per period
Bet Limits
Maximum single bet amount

Go to your account settings to set your limits. Keep in mind that lowering a limit takes effect immediately, but increasing one requires a 24-hour cooling-off period. This is designed to protect you from decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Expert tip: Set your limits before you start playing, not during. Planning ahead makes it much easier to stick to your decisions.

Self-Assessment — Ask Yourself These Questions

Regularly ask yourself a few questions to ensure you are gaming responsibly. This self-assessment keeps you aware and helps you take action when needed.

Am I staying within my set budget?
Am I chasing losses with bigger bets?
Is gaming taking time away from my family?
Am I gaming with borrowed money?
Is gaming interfering with my work or studies?
Have I tried to stop gaming but been unable to?
Have I lied to my family about my gaming?
Do I feel guilty or regretful after gaming?

If you answered "yes" to most of the questions above, take it as an important signal. As part of responsible gaming, ko9 strongly encourages you to take a break now and seek professional support if needed. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness — it takes real courage.

Remember: Self-exclusion on ko9 is completely free and takes effect immediately. Keeping yourself protected is always the right call.

  • Never share your login credentials with anyone.
  • Always log out after your session.
  • Use a password lock on your device.

If in doubt, check. If you suspect an underage person has accessed your account, contact ko9 support immediately.
FAQs

A Cool-off is a short-term break lasting from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Your account reactivates automatically once the period ends. Self-Exclusion is a long-term option — from 6 months up to 5 years. During this period, your account cannot be reopened under any circumstances and all marketing communications will be stopped.

Yes, limits can be increased, but the change will only take effect 24 hours after a previous reduction. This 24-hour cooling-off period is intentional — it protects you from decisions made in the heat of the moment. Decreasing your limit, however, takes effect immediately.

After activating self-exclusion, you can request a withdrawal of any remaining balance in your account. ko9's support team will guide you through the process. No new deposits or bets will be accepted during the self-exclusion period.

If you set a specific time interval (e.g. 30 minutes, 1 hour), ko9 will show a pop-up notification after each interval. It will display how long you have been playing, a summary of your wins and losses, and the option to continue or stop. This helps you stay focused and aware of how much time you are spending.

Start by having a calm conversation and listening without judgment. Reach out to ko9's support team — we offer guidance and assistance for family members too. If necessary, seek help from a professional mental health specialist. Remember: addiction is an illness, not a sign of weak willpower.
