Player Safety & Wellbeing

Responsible
Gaming at 994bet

At 994bet, we believe gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal hardship. This page outlines the tools, policies, and support resources we provide to every Bangladeshi player to help them stay in control and play safely.

18+ Only Self-Exclusion Available Deposit Limits Session Time Controls 24/7 Support

Strict 18+ Policy

994bet enforces a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. Every account registration triggers an age verification check. Players who cannot confirm they are aged 18 or above will have their accounts suspended immediately.

Flexible Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your 994bet account settings. Limits take effect immediately when lowered and are subject to a 7-day cooling-off period before they can be raised.

Self-Exclusion Programme

Players who need a break can activate self-exclusion for periods ranging from 30 days to permanent closure. During exclusion, all marketing communications from 994bet are immediately suspended.

Session Time Reminders

Configure session duration alerts so 994bet notifies you after a set amount of continuous play time — for example, 30, 60, or 90 minutes. A short break can help you stay clear-headed and in control.

Reality Check Prompts

During active gaming sessions, 994bet can display reality-check pop-ups showing your net session balance and time elapsed. These prompts encourage you to pause and make an informed decision about whether to continue.

24/7 English Support

Our dedicated support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. If you or someone close to you is concerned about gambling behaviour, our team can guide you to the right tools and help you take immediate action.

Age Restriction Policy (18+)

994bet operates exclusively for adults aged 18 and above. This is a firm, non-negotiable policy. Gambling by minors is illegal and causes serious harm, and 994bet is committed to preventing it through every available technical and procedural measure.

At the point of registration, every prospective player must confirm that they are at least 18 years of age. Following registration, 994bet's KYC (Know Your Customer) process requires the submission of a valid Bangladeshi National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate before any withdrawal can be processed. Where our review team has any doubt about a player's age, the account is immediately suspended pending document verification.

Parents and guardians in Bangladesh are strongly encouraged to make use of parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. If you share a device with family members or children, please ensure that your 994bet account credentials are never stored in a browser and that you always log out completely after each session.

Underage Gambling Reporting. If you believe a minor has accessed or is currently using a 994bet account, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take appropriate action within 24 hours. Any winnings accumulated by a verified underage player will be forfeited in full.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling — sometimes called gambling disorder — develops gradually and is not always easy to identify in yourself. 994bet encourages all players to remain honest with themselves about their gambling habits. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling has moved beyond entertainment and become a problem.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Chasing losses by placing larger bets than originally planned
  • Gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems
  • Neglecting work, studies, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
  • Lying to family members or friends about the extent of your gambling
  • Repeatedly failing to stick to self-imposed betting limits
  • Feeling a need to gamble with larger amounts to experience the same excitement
  • Thinking about gambling continuously — while working, eating, or sleeping

Recognising these signs in yourself or in someone close to you is the first and most important step. 994bet urges any player who identifies with three or more of the above to make use of our responsible gaming tools immediately and to contact our support team or a professional counselling service.

You are not alone. Gambling problems are common and treatable. Taking action early — before financial or personal harm becomes severe — dramatically improves outcomes. 994bet's support team will treat every conversation about problem gambling with complete confidentiality and without judgement.

Deposit & Spending Limits

One of the most effective ways to stay in control of your gambling spend is to set firm deposit limits before you begin playing. 994bet provides a built-in limit management system that allows you to cap how much you deposit over a defined rolling period. Limits can be set for daily, weekly, or monthly timeframes and apply across all payment methods — including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and linked bank accounts.

Limit Type Timeframe How to Set Effect When Lowered Cooling-off to Increase
Daily Deposit Limit Rolling 24 hours Account Settings > Responsible Gaming Immediate 24 hours
Weekly Deposit Limit Rolling 7 days Account Settings > Responsible Gaming Immediate 7 days
Monthly Deposit Limit Rolling 30 days Account Settings > Responsible Gaming Immediate 30 days
Single Transaction Cap Per deposit Account Settings > Responsible Gaming Immediate 7 days

Cooling-off periods for limit increases are mandatory and cannot be overridden by support staff. This design is intentional — the delay gives you time to reconsider before expanding your spending capacity. If you contact 994bet support requesting an emergency increase within the cooling-off window, our team will not be able to process that request, but they can help you access other responsible gaming tools in the meantime.

In addition to deposit limits, 994bet also offers a loss limit feature that caps the total amount you can lose within a rolling period, and a wager limit that restricts the size of individual bets you can place. Contact our support team at [email protected] to activate either of these additional controls on your account.

Tip for Bangladeshi Players. Setting your monthly deposit limit to an amount equal to your discretionary entertainment budget — rather than your total income — is a practical starting point. For many players, beginning with a limit of ৳2,000–৳5,000 per month keeps gambling genuinely recreational.

Session Time Controls

Extended, uninterrupted gaming sessions are one of the most common contributors to problem gambling behaviour. When players lose track of time, they are more likely to make impulsive decisions and exceed their intended budgets. 994bet's session time control tools are designed to interrupt this pattern and keep you mindful of how long you have been playing.

The following session management features are available to all registered 994bet players:

  • Session Duration Alerts. Choose an alert interval — 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes — and 994bet will display a notification each time that interval elapses during an active session. The notification shows your total session time and net balance change.
  • Reality Check Pop-ups. At your chosen frequency, a full-screen overlay appears summarising your session activity. You must actively dismiss it to continue playing, which provides a natural moment of reflection.
  • Session Time Limit. Set a hard daily limit on total session time (for example, 2 hours per day). Once the limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and will not be able to log back in until the following calendar day.
  • Time-Out Feature. If you want a short, scheduled break from gambling — without committing to full self-exclusion — a time-out can be applied for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your account remains open but you cannot deposit or play.

All session controls are accessible from your account settings under the Responsible Gaming tab. Changes to session alerts and pop-up frequency take effect immediately. Time-out periods, once activated, cannot be shortened — they must run their full duration.

Self-Exclusion Tools

Self-exclusion is the strongest player protection tool available on the 994bet platform. It is designed for players who recognise that they need a significant break from gambling — or who wish to stop gambling permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen exclusion period has fully elapsed.

994bet offers the following self-exclusion periods:

  • 30 days (short-term break)
  • 90 days (medium-term break)
  • 6 months
  • 1 year
  • 5 years
  • Permanent (account closure — this cannot be reversed under any circumstances)
01

Log in to Your 994bet Account

Navigate to Account Settings and select the Responsible Gaming tab from the left-hand menu.

02

Select Self-Exclusion

Choose your desired exclusion period from the dropdown menu. Read the terms carefully — particularly if selecting the permanent option.

03

Confirm via OTP

A one-time password will be sent to your registered Bangladeshi mobile number. Enter the OTP to confirm your self-exclusion request. This step prevents accidental activations.

04

Exclusion Takes Effect Immediately

Your account will be suspended within minutes. You will be logged out automatically, and all marketing emails and SMS notifications from 994bet will stop immediately.

05

Reactivation After the Period Ends

For non-permanent exclusions, reactivation requires a written request to [email protected] plus a 7-day reflection period before the account is reopened. No reactivation is possible before the exclusion period expires.

If you are unable to access your account to activate self-exclusion — for example, if you have forgotten your password — contact our support team directly at [email protected] or via 24/7 live chat. Our team can apply self-exclusion manually on your behalf after verifying your identity.

During self-exclusion, do not attempt to open a new 994bet account. Creating a secondary account while under self-exclusion is a breach of our Terms & Conditions and will result in permanent closure of all associated accounts and forfeiture of any balance held. If you are self-excluded and find yourself looking for ways around it, please contact our support team or a professional gambling counsellor instead.

Self-Assessment Checklist

The following questions are adapted from widely used responsible gaming assessment frameworks. Answer them honestly and privately — this checklist is for your own reflection and is not recorded or shared with 994bet. If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team or an external counselling service.

Q1Have you ever spent more money gambling than you originally planned to in a single session?
Q2Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, food, or utility bills?
Q3Have you borrowed money from family, friends, or a bank specifically to fund gambling activity?
Q4Have you found yourself returning to gambling the day after a loss to try to win back the money you lost?
Q5Have you ever felt that you needed to gamble with larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?
Q6Have you ever hidden or lied about your gambling activity to a family member, partner, or close friend?
Q7Has gambling ever negatively affected your work performance, study commitments, or family relationships?
Q8Have you ever felt depressed, anxious, or irritable after a gambling session, or when unable to gamble?
Q9Have you tried to stop or reduce gambling on your own but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
Q10Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — when at work, at home, or during social occasions?

If you answered "Yes" to 3 or more questions: Please reach out to our support team at [email protected] or activate one of our responsible gaming tools from your account settings. You can also contact a professional counselling service for confidential, free advice.

Support & Help Resources

994bet is committed to directing players towards appropriate help when gambling stops being fun. Our own support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can assist you in English. All conversations regarding problem gambling are treated with complete confidentiality.

Contact 994bet Support:
Email: [email protected] — responses within 2 hours for responsible gaming queries.
Live Chat: available 24/7 from the bottom-right of any page on the 994bet platform.
WhatsApp: +880 1XXX-XXXXXX (Bangladesh Standard Time, UTC+6).

When you contact us about a gambling concern, our trained support agents can help you:

  • Activate deposit limits, session limits, or a time-out immediately
  • Initiate self-exclusion without needing to log in to your account
  • Request a full account activity report so you can review your gambling history
  • Access information about external professional counselling services available in Bangladesh
  • Close your account permanently if that is what you decide is best for you

We also encourage players to speak openly with trusted family members or friends. In Bangladesh, community support networks — including local mosque and temple counselling services and community health workers in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and other divisions — can provide a valuable first point of contact for those struggling with addictive behaviour.

Kaan Pete Roi (কান পেতে রই) is a mental health helpline serving Bangladesh. While primarily focused on emotional distress, their counsellors are experienced in discussing addictive behaviour and can provide a non-judgemental space to talk through gambling concerns. All calls and messages are confidential.

If a family member is concerned that someone in their household has a gambling problem, they may also contact 994bet on behalf of the affected person. We will take such reports seriously and act in the best interests of the player's wellbeing.

Our Commitments to Players

Responsible gaming is not just a legal compliance exercise for 994bet — it is a core part of how we operate and how we build trust with the Bangladeshi players who choose our platform. The following commitments represent the standards we hold ourselves to, and we invite players to hold us accountable to them.

  • We will never encourage a player to chase losses. Our communications, bonuses, and promotions are designed to enhance entertainment — not to pressure players into depositing more after a losing streak.
  • We will never target vulnerable players with promotional offers. Players who have activated responsible gaming tools, are under a time-out, or have contacted us about problem gambling concerns are permanently removed from all promotional targeting lists.
  • We will act on responsible gaming requests immediately. Any request to activate a limit, time-out, or self-exclusion will be processed within minutes — not hours or days.
  • We will monitor for at-risk patterns proactively. Our platform uses behavioural monitoring to identify signs of problem gambling, such as rapid bet escalation or session patterns that suggest distress. Our team may reach out proactively if such patterns are detected on your account.
  • We will never make it difficult for a player to stop. The path to activating self-exclusion or closing an account is deliberately simple and clearly signposted. We will never use dark UX patterns or friction to discourage players from using these tools.
  • We will protect minors from accessing our platform. Age verification is mandatory, not optional, and we take reports of underage gambling with the utmost seriousness.
  • We will be honest about the nature of gambling. The house has a mathematical edge on every game. Gambling should be approached as paid entertainment, not as a reliable income source. 994bet will always communicate this clearly.

Feedback. If you feel that 994bet has fallen short of any of the commitments listed above, please contact us at [email protected]. We review all responsible gaming feedback seriously and use it to improve our policies and tools on an ongoing basis.
