Responsible Gaming
at abe999
At abe999, we believe that gambling should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of financial or emotional distress. Our responsible gaming programme equips every player in Bangladesh with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
abe999 is Bangladesh's trusted online casino and sports betting platform, and with that trust comes a fundamental obligation: to ensure that every player on our platform can enjoy gambling in a safe, informed, and controlled manner. Responsible gaming is not an afterthought at abe999 — it is built into the foundation of how we operate.
We recognise that for the vast majority of players, betting on cricket, exploring our live casino tables, or spinning the reels on premium slots is a leisure activity they enjoy within their means. For a small number of players, however, gambling can develop into a problem that affects their finances, relationships, and mental health. Our responsible gaming programme exists to protect both groups: to keep recreational players in control, and to identify and support players who may be experiencing difficulties.
Every abe999 player across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and beyond has access to the full suite of player protection tools described on this page — at no cost and without any negative impact on their account standing. We encourage all players to familiarise themselves with these tools and to use them proactively.
Player Wellbeing First
abe999 prioritises your long-term wellbeing over short-term revenue. If our responsible gaming systems flag a player at risk, our team acts — even if that means temporary account restrictions.
Proactive Monitoring
Our platform continuously monitors gameplay patterns for behavioural signals associated with problem gambling, allowing our support team to reach out before a situation escalates.
Easy Access to Tools
All responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion — are accessible directly from your account dashboard and are applied immediately upon request.
Trained Support Team
Our 24/7 customer support staff receive dedicated responsible gaming training, enabling them to handle sensitive conversations with empathy, discretion, and practical guidance.
Reality Check Reminders
Players can enable timed session reminders that display a reality check notification after a set period of play, prompting a moment of reflection before continuing.
Strict Minor Protection
abe999 has a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. Age verification is mandatory at registration and during KYC. Any account found to belong to a minor is immediately closed.
Age Restriction: 18+ Only
At registration, all players are required to confirm that they are aged 18 or above. As part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process, abe999 reserves the right to request government-issued identity documents — such as a National Identity Card (NID) — to verify a player's age and identity before processing withdrawals or activating bonus offers.
If abe999 has reasonable grounds to suspect that a registered account is being used by or on behalf of a person under 18, the account will be suspended immediately pending verification. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be returned, and no winnings generated during the period of underage use will be paid out.
- Age verification is mandatory for all abe999 players at registration and KYC stage.
- Deposits and withdrawals require verified identity documents confirming age 18+.
- Accounts verified as belonging to minors are closed immediately with deposits refunded.
- abe999 uses automated age-screening tools as an additional layer of minor protection.
- Parents and guardians are encouraged to use device-level parental controls as a supplementary measure.
Player Protection Tools
abe999 provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools that players can activate at any time from their account settings. These tools are designed to help you set clear boundaries around your gambling activity — before a problem develops, not after. Using these tools is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your abe999 account per day, week, or month. Once a limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.
Available NowLoss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose across a set time period. When your losses reach the defined threshold, your ability to place further bets is temporarily paused.
Available NowSession Time Limits
Cap the total amount of time you spend playing in a single session. When your session limit expires, the platform will prompt you to take a break before you can resume play.
Available NowReality Check
Enable periodic pop-up reminders at intervals you choose — such as every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — displaying how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
Available NowCool-Off Period
Take a short voluntary break from gambling by setting a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. Your account remains open but betting and deposits are suspended.
Available NowSelf-Exclusion

Available NowWagering Limits
Set a cap on the total amount you can wager per day, week, or month across all abe999 games — including cricket betting, slots, and live casino tables.
Available NowActivity Statement
Request a detailed statement of your gambling activity — deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and net result — for any period, to gain a clear picture of your gaming behaviour.
Available NowWarning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. It typically develops gradually, and by the time a player recognises the issue, it may already be affecting their finances, work, and personal relationships. Being aware of the early warning signs is the most effective form of self-protection. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to your gambling behaviour.
Self-Assessment Questionnaire
The following questions are based on internationally recognised problem gambling screening frameworks. Answer them honestly to gain a clearer picture of your relationship with gambling. This questionnaire is entirely private — your responses are not recorded by abe999 and have no effect on your account.
Have any of the following happened in the past 12 months?
Consider each question carefully. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly recommend taking advantage of abe999's responsible gaming tools or speaking with a support specialist.
- Have you spent more money on gambling than you originally planned in a single session?
- Have you felt the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
- Have you tried to reduce or stop your gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
- Have you felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you tried to cut down on gambling?
- Have you gambled as a way to escape from personal problems, stress, or negative emotions?
- After losing money gambling, have you returned the next day to try to win it back?
- Have you lied to family members or close friends about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?
- Has gambling caused serious financial difficulties for you, such as missed bill payments or depleted savings?
- Have you borrowed money or sold personal belongings to fund gambling?
- Has gambling negatively affected your work, studies, or important relationships?
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on the abe999 platform. When you self-exclude, your account is blocked from all gambling activity — including sports betting, live casino games, slots, and fishing games — for the duration you select. Self-exclusion is a voluntary, player-initiated measure, and abe999 applies it immediately and without question.
Choose Your Exclusion Period
Self-exclusion periods at abe999 are available in the following durations: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. A minimum exclusion of 6 months applies — shorter exclusions below this threshold are not available as a self-exclusion measure (use the cool-off tool instead for shorter breaks).
Submit Your Request
You can request self-exclusion in two ways: (a) through your abe999 account settings panel under "Responsible Gaming", or (b) by contacting the abe999 support team directly via 24/7 live chat or by emailing [email protected]. Both methods are equally valid and actioned with equal urgency.
Immediate Account Block
Once your self-exclusion request is confirmed, your account is blocked within minutes. You will no longer be able to log in, place bets, make deposits, or access any real-money gaming feature on the abe999 platform for the duration of the exclusion.
Marketing Communications Stopped
When your self-exclusion is applied, all marketing communications from abe999 — including BPL promotional emails, bonus notifications, and SMS alerts — are automatically suppressed for the full duration of the exclusion period.
Reinstatement After Exclusion
At the end of a non-permanent self-exclusion period, your account will not automatically reactivate. You must actively contact the abe999 support team to request reinstatement, which includes a mandatory responsible gaming review and a 24-hour reflection period before access is restored.
Getting Help
If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem in your life, reaching out for help is the most important step you can take. abe999 fully supports players who seek assistance — whether that means using our internal tools, speaking with our trained support team, or connecting with independent counselling services. There is no shame in asking for help, and doing so early makes a meaningful difference to outcomes.
Problem gambling is a recognised behavioural condition that responds well to professional support. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), peer support groups, and one-on-one counselling have all been shown to help people regain control of their gambling. The following guidance is intended to help players in Bangladesh access appropriate resources.
Talk to Someone You Trust
The first and often most powerful step is telling a trusted friend, family member, or colleague that you are concerned about your gambling. Reducing secrecy around the issue significantly lowers the psychological burden and opens a path toward practical support.
Seek Professional Counselling
Licensed mental health professionals and addiction counsellors in major Bangladeshi cities including Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Khulna can provide structured, confidential support. Your primary care doctor can provide a referral to an appropriate specialist.
Join a Support Group
Peer support groups for individuals affected by problem gambling operate in Bangladesh and provide a confidential space to share experiences, strategies, and encouragement with others who understand the challenges firsthand.
Contact abe999 Support
Our responsible gaming team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat. If you would prefer written communication, email [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Support" and a trained team member will respond within 4 hours (BST).
abe999 encourages players to keep the following self-care principles in mind at all times: never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose; always treat gambling as entertainment, not as a source of income; take regular breaks during gaming sessions; balance gambling with other social and leisure activities; and never gamble while under the influence of alcohol or when feeling highly emotional.
