🛡️ Player Safety First

Responsible Gaming at ko9

Gambling on ko9 is meant to be entertaining. We provide practical tools, honest guidance, and direct support so every player in Bangladesh can stay in control of their experience.

✅ 21+ Only Self-Exclusion Deposit Limits 24/7 Support
🔞
Adults Only — 21 Years or Older ko9 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. Age verification is required at registration and before any withdrawal is processed.

Our Commitment to You

At ko9, we believe that safe gambling is good gambling. Our platform is designed to provide entertainment — not to be a source of financial stress, personal harm, or family conflict. Every feature we build, every promotion we run, and every policy we enforce is measured against a single standard: does it help our players remain in control?

We take responsible gaming seriously across all of our products, whether you are betting on Bangladesh Tigers cricket, spinning slots from Pragmatic Play, or playing live casino games powered by Evolution Gaming. The tools and policies described on this page apply equally to every game and every player on ko9.

We also recognise that players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka to Chittagong, from Sylhet to Cox's Bazar — have different lifestyles, different financial circumstances, and different relationships with gambling. Our responsible gaming framework is designed to be accessible regardless of where you are or how often you play.

If at any point you feel that gambling is no longer fun, or that it is affecting your finances, your relationships, or your wellbeing, please use the tools on this page or contact our support team immediately. Help is always available, and there is no judgment in asking for it.

How Each Tool Works

💰
Deposit Limits

You can set a maximum deposit amount in BDT for any rolling daily (24-hour), weekly (7-day), or monthly (30-day) period. Limits take effect immediately when you lower them. Increases to an existing limit require a 72-hour cooling-off period before they become active — this delay is intentional and cannot be waived. You can set a deposit limit directly from your account settings page after logging in.

Immediate on decrease 72-hour delay on increase
📉
Loss Limits

A loss limit prevents your net losses from exceeding a set BDT threshold within a given period. Once the limit is reached, further wagers will be declined until the period resets. Like deposit limits, reductions take immediate effect while increases have a mandatory 72-hour waiting period. This tool is especially useful during high-stakes events like BPL or IPL cricket seasons.

⏱️
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum continuous session length in minutes. When your session limit is reached, you will receive an on-screen alert showing how long you have played and your net result for the session. You can choose to end the session or continue — we prompt, not block, for session time limits. A session limit can be combined with a reality check interval for extra awareness.

Prompt-based, not forced logout
🔔
Reality Check Intervals

Choose an interval (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes) at which ko9 will display a pop-up showing your total session time, total wagered, total won or lost, and net result. This is not a limit — it is an awareness tool designed to help you make a conscious decision about whether to continue playing.

❄️
Cooling-Off Period

A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to deposit and wager on ko9. Choose from 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account remains open and you can still withdraw any existing balance. Cooling-off periods cannot be reversed early — they must run their full course. You can request a cooling-off by contacting our support team at [email protected].

Cannot be reversed early
🚫
Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most serious responsible gaming tool available on ko9. It permanently blocks your account from depositing, wagering, and receiving any promotional communications for a minimum of six (6) months, up to a maximum of five (5) years. Any existing balance can be withdrawn. Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends — no exceptions. If you believe gambling has become a problem, we strongly encourage you to use this tool and seek professional support. Contact [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".

Irreversible during the chosen period

Warning Signs to Watch For

Most people gamble without it ever becoming a problem. But for some, gambling can shift from entertainment to something more difficult to manage. The following signs may indicate that your gambling habits need attention:

  • ⚠️ Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or chasing losses to try to win back what you have lost.
  • ⚠️ Borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting essential bills and expenses in order to fund gambling activity.
  • ⚠️ Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce the amount you gamble.
  • ⚠️ Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
  • ⚠️ Using gambling as a way to escape from problems, stress, depression, or other negative emotions rather than as entertainment.
  • ⚠️ Repeatedly failing in attempts to cut back or stop gambling, even when you genuinely want to.
  • ⚠️ Neglecting personal responsibilities — work, studies, family — because of the time you spend gambling.
  • ⚠️ Continuing to gamble despite knowing that it is causing serious harm to your financial situation or personal relationships.

If two or more of the above describe your experience, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team, use the self-exclusion tool, or reach out to a professional counsellor. There is no shame in asking for help.

Quick Self-Check

Reflect honestly on the following questions. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is designed to help you pause and think about your relationship with gambling.

Have you ever spent more than you intended in a single gambling session?
Yes
Sometimes
No
Do you feel the urge to gamble more after a losing session to recover your losses?
Yes
Sometimes
No
Has gambling ever caused you to neglect work, family, or financial obligations?
Yes
Sometimes
No
Do you gamble to escape stress, boredom, or difficult emotions?
Yes
Sometimes
No

If you answered "Yes" or "Sometimes" to any of the above, consider setting a deposit or session limit on your ko9 account, or contact our support team to discuss your options. Acting early makes a real difference.

Protecting Young People

ko9 enforces a strict 21+ age policy. Players must be 21 years of age or older to register and use the platform. Age is verified at registration using date-of-birth information and, when required, a copy of a government-issued ID (National Identity Card or passport).

If you share a mobile device or computer with younger family members, we strongly recommend the following steps to prevent underage access to ko9:

  • Always log out of your ko9 account when you have finished playing, especially on shared devices.
  • Never share your ko9 username, password, or OTP codes with anyone, including family members.
  • Enable the screen lock or app lock on your mobile device to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Use your device's parental control settings to block access to gambling websites for younger users.

If you suspect that a minor has accessed your ko9 account or any gambling content on our platform, please report it immediately to [email protected]. We will act promptly to investigate and close any underage account found on ko9, returning any deposits in full.

Getting Support

If you are concerned about your gambling habits — or about someone you care about — please do not wait. Reaching out early is always the right decision. ko9's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and all conversations are treated with complete confidentiality.

Our support agents can help you with the following responsible gaming actions directly:

  • Setting or lowering a deposit, loss, or session limit on your account.
  • Activating a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
  • Answering questions about how to use any of the tools described on this page.
  • Providing general guidance on seeking professional counselling for problem gambling.

Contact ko9 Responsible Gaming Support

Email: [email protected] — subject line: "Responsible Gaming"

Support is available 24/7 in English and Bengali. We aim to respond to all responsible gaming requests within 2 hours. Self-exclusion requests are acted upon within 24 hours of confirmation.

All responsible gaming communications are handled by a dedicated team and are kept strictly separate from general customer service. Your request will never be used to send you promotional content.

Our Core Principles

Everything ko9 does in the area of responsible gaming is guided by four core principles:

  • Prevention first: We build responsible gaming tools into the platform by default, not as an afterthought. Every new player is shown information about our tools at the point of registration.
  • No pressure to chase: ko9 does not send promotional messages designed to encourage players who have set limits or cooling-off periods to increase their spend. Players who have used responsible gaming tools are excluded from targeted bonus campaigns.
  • Honest information: We are transparent about the odds of winning, the house edge on our games, and the statistical likelihood of long-term profit. Gambling is entertainment, and we communicate that clearly.
  • Swift action: When a player requests a limit reduction, cooling-off, or self-exclusion, we act on it as quickly as technically possible — no delays, no persuasion to reconsider.

We review our responsible gaming policies annually and update them whenever better practices become available. This page was last updated on 1 January 2026.
