Responsible Gaming at i899
i899 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable betting environment for all players across Bangladesh. We believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page outlines the tools, policies, and support resources we have in place to help every player stay in control.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
i899 provides a comprehensive set of account management tools that put you in full control of your gambling activity. Every registered player in Bangladesh can access these features directly through the support team at any time.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount for a defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately; increases take effect only after a mandatory 7-day cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Session Time Limits
Define the maximum amount of time you wish to spend on i899 in a single session. When your session limit is reached, you will receive a clear notification and be automatically logged out. This tool helps prevent unplanned extended play sessions that can lead to impulsive betting decisions.
Time-Out (Short Break)
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, the time-out feature allows you to suspend your i899 account for a defined period — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. The time-out cannot be cancelled once activated.
Self-Exclusion
For players who feel that gambling is becoming a serious problem, i899 offers a full self-exclusion option. Self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum of 6 months, with options extending to 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, marketing communications are also suspended. This is a serious commitment and cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires.
Activity & Spend Tracking
i899 provides a detailed account history showing your betting activity, deposit and withdrawal history, win/loss records, and total time spent on the platform. Reviewing your activity regularly is a healthy habit that helps you stay aware of your gambling patterns and make informed decisions about your play.
Marketing Opt-Out
You can choose to opt out of all promotional emails, SMS notifications, and bonus offers at any time. If you are trying to reduce your gambling activity, removing promotional triggers is an important step. Simply contact [email protected] with your opt-out request and we will update your preferences within 24 hours.
How Deposit Limits Work
Deposit limits are one of the most effective responsible gaming tools available to i899 players. They allow you to set a hard ceiling on how much money you can add to your account over a given time period, giving you full control over your gambling budget before you even start playing.
All deposit limits at i899 are denominated in BDT and apply across all deposit methods — including bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and bank transfers. To set or adjust your deposit limit, contact our support team at [email protected] with your account username and your desired limit. Changes that reduce your limit take effect immediately. Changes that increase your limit require a mandatory 7-day waiting period to ensure the decision is considered rather than reactive.
Deposit limits are a voluntary tool available to all registered i899 players in Bangladesh. We strongly encourage all players to set a budget before they start playing and to use these controls proactively rather than reactively.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of background or income level. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step toward getting help. If you recognise any of the following patterns in yourself or someone you know, we encourage you to reach out.
Spending More Than You Can Afford
Consistently betting with money that was intended for essential expenses such as rent, food, bills, or family needs is a serious warning sign that gambling has moved beyond entertainment.
Chasing Losses
Placing additional bets in an attempt to recover money lost in previous sessions — often called "chasing" — is one of the most common and dangerous patterns associated with problem gambling.
Inability to Stop
Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or repeatedly failing to stick to time or spending limits you have set for yourself, indicates that gambling may be developing into a compulsive behaviour.
Neglecting Responsibilities
Allowing gambling to interfere with work, studies, family obligations, or social relationships is a strong indicator that the activity has grown beyond healthy recreational use.
Borrowing Money to Gamble
Taking out loans, borrowing from family or friends, or using credit to fund gambling activity is a significant red flag that should be addressed immediately with the support of a professional or trusted person.
Hiding Gambling Activity
Feeling the need to conceal the extent of your gambling from family members or loved ones — including lying about losses, time spent, or money used — is a clear indicator that gambling has become a problem that needs to be addressed.
If you recognise these signs: Please do not ignore them. Reach out to our support team immediately at [email protected] to request a time-out or self-exclusion. Taking action early makes a significant difference. You can also use the self-exclusion steps outlined in the next section to close your account right away.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is available to any i899 player who feels that gambling is negatively affecting their life. The process is straightforward, confidential, and takes effect within 24 hours of a confirmed request. During the exclusion period, your account will be fully suspended — no logins, no deposits, no bets, and no promotional communications.
Self-exclusion is a serious measure and cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. i899's support team treats all self-exclusion requests with complete confidentiality and without judgement. We are here to help, not to judge.
Confidential and Judgement-Free: All responsible gaming requests, including self-exclusion, are handled with full confidentiality by our dedicated support team. Your personal situation is never shared internally beyond what is needed to process your request.
Contact i899 Support
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request — [Your Username]". Include your registered username, your registered email address, and the exclusion period you are requesting (6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent).
Identity Verification
Our support team will respond within 2 hours to confirm your identity and verify your account ownership. This step is in place to ensure that self-exclusion requests are processed for the correct account and to protect your account security.
Confirmation and Account Suspension
Once your identity is verified, your account will be suspended within 24 hours. You will receive a confirmation email when the exclusion is active. Any pending withdrawals at the time of exclusion will be processed to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account).
Marketing Communications Suspended
All promotional emails, SMS notifications, and bonus offers from i899 will be stopped immediately upon activation of your self-exclusion. If you continue to receive communications after your exclusion is confirmed, please notify us immediately so we can investigate and resolve the issue.
End of Exclusion Period
When your chosen exclusion period expires, your account will NOT be automatically reactivated. You will need to contact our support team and complete a reactivation request, which includes a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period. This ensures that reactivation is a deliberate and considered decision.
You Are Not Alone
If gambling is causing you or someone you care about distress, financial difficulty, or relationship problems, the most important thing you can do is reach out. i899's responsible gaming support team is available around the clock, every day of the year — including all Bangladesh public holidays such as Eid, Victory Day, Independence Day, and Pohela Boishakh.
Our team is trained to handle responsible gaming enquiries with sensitivity, professionalism, and without judgement. Whether you want to set a deposit limit, activate a time-out, request self-exclusion, or simply talk through your concerns, we are ready to help immediately. There is no minimum severity threshold — you do not need to be in crisis to ask for support. Early conversations are always the most effective ones.
We also encourage players to speak with trusted family members, friends, or a professional counsellor if they feel that gambling has become a concern. i899 is a platform, not a substitute for professional mental health or financial guidance, and we fully support players who seek external help alongside the tools we provide.
i899 Responsible Gaming Support
Our dedicated support team is available 24/7. All responsible gaming contacts are handled confidentially and with care.
i899's Responsible Gaming Commitments
Responsible gaming is not a checkbox for i899 — it is a core part of how we operate. The following commitments guide our approach to player safety across every aspect of the platform.
We enforce the 21+ age restriction without exception. Every new account is subject to identity verification. Any account found to be operated by a person under the age of 21 is immediately closed. We apply strict KYC procedures to ensure our platform is not accessible to minors anywhere in Bangladesh.
We do not target vulnerable players with marketing. i899 does not send promotional offers to players who have activated a time-out, are under active self-exclusion, or have requested marketing opt-out. Our marketing practices are designed to attract new recreational players, not to encourage excessive or compulsive gambling among existing users.
We train our staff to recognise and respond to problem gambling. All members of i899's customer support and account management team receive regular training on responsible gaming indicators and intervention procedures. Staff are empowered to initiate responsible gaming conversations proactively when account patterns suggest risk.
We provide transparent information on odds and game mechanics. i899 is committed to ensuring that all players understand the house edge, return-to-player (RTP) percentages, and the statistical realities of gambling outcomes. We do not promote gambling as a reliable way to make money, and we actively discourage the belief that outcomes can be predicted or controlled.
We review and improve our responsible gaming tools regularly. i899 continually reviews the effectiveness of our player protection tools and updates them in line with industry best practices. Player feedback on our responsible gaming features is actively welcomed and used to drive improvements to the tools available on the platform.
