Responsible Gaming
at gk99 — Your Wellbeing
Comes First
gk99 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable experience for every player in Bangladesh. This page explains the tools, policies, and support resources available to help you keep gambling fun — and within your limits.
Player Wellbeing First
Every feature on gk99 is designed with player safety in mind. We monitor gameplay patterns and reach out proactively if we detect signs of problematic behaviour.
Full Control in Your Hands
Set your own deposit, loss, and session time limits directly from your gk99 account settings. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered — not raised — instantly.
Self-Exclusion Available
Need a longer break? gk99 offers short-term time-outs and permanent self-exclusion options. Your request is processed within two hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
No Unsolicited Promotions
Players who have activated a cooling-off period or self-exclusion will not receive any promotional communications from gk99 during that period — guaranteed.
Secure & Fair Platform
All games on gk99 use certified random number generators to ensure fair outcomes. No game result can be influenced by previous sessions or player deposit amounts.
24/7 Dedicated Support
Our support team is available around the clock to assist with responsible gaming queries, limit changes, self-exclusion requests, and any other player welfare concern.
1 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At gk99, responsible gaming is not a compliance checkbox — it is a core part of how we build and operate our platform. We believe that gambling should be an entertaining leisure activity, and we are committed to making sure it stays that way for every player who chooses gk99 as their platform of choice in Bangladesh.
We invest continuously in tools, staff training, and monitoring systems that help identify players who may be developing difficulties with gambling. When our systems flag unusual activity — such as extended uninterrupted sessions, rapidly escalating bet sizes, or repeated failed withdrawal requests — our team follows a structured outreach process to check in with the player and offer support options.
gk99 is transparent about the risks associated with gambling. We do not use deceptive design patterns, misleading promotional language, or exploitative mechanics. We display clear information about odds, return-to-player percentages, and house edges so that every player can make informed decisions about their gameplay.
2 Age Restriction — 21+ Only
gk99 strictly prohibits access to its platform by anyone under the age of 21. This is a firm policy with zero exceptions. The minimum age for gambling on gk99 is 21 years, in line with responsible gaming best practices for the Bangladesh market.
Age verification is conducted as a mandatory step during the account registration process. Players are required to submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as a National Identity Card (NID) or passport — before they can complete their first withdrawal. Accounts where the identity documents reveal that the player is under 21 are permanently closed immediately, and any deposited funds are returned to the originating payment method.
How Age Verification Works at gk99
-
1Registration During sign-up, players provide their date of birth. The platform validates that the stated age meets the 21+ requirement before the account is created.
-
2Document Submission Before processing any withdrawal, players must submit a copy of their NID, passport, or other accepted government-issued ID for manual review by the gk99 KYC team.
-
3KYC Review The KYC team reviews the submitted documents and verifies that the player's age meets the 21+ threshold. Documents that do not meet this requirement trigger immediate account closure.
-
4Ongoing Monitoring Even after initial verification, gk99 may request updated documentation if account activity raises questions about the verified identity or age of the player.
3 Responsible Gaming Tools
gk99 provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that are accessible directly from your account settings panel. These tools put you in control of how, when, and how much you play — at all times.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the limit period resets. Limits can be lowered at any time and take effect immediately. Raising a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before it comes into force.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your loss limit is reached, your account is automatically restricted from placing further bets for the remainder of that period. This helps prevent chasing losses.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each individual gaming session. When your chosen time limit is reached, gk99 will display a clear on-screen warning and prompt you to take a break. You can also enable automatic session logout after a set period of inactivity.
Time-Out / Cooling Off
Take a structured break from gambling for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out period, your account is restricted from deposits and gameplay. You can still withdraw any available balance. No promotional communications will be sent during a time-out.
Self-Exclusion
Request a long-term or permanent self-exclusion from gk99. Self-exclusion periods start at 6 months and can extend to 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully closed, deposits are blocked, and all marketing is ceased. See Section 5 for the full self-exclusion process.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable periodic pop-up notifications that display how long you have been playing in the current session and a summary of your net wins or losses. Reality checks are available at 15-minute, 30-minute, or 60-minute intervals and serve as a factual checkpoint during extended sessions.
4 Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling affects a small but significant proportion of people who gamble. Recognising the warning signs early — both in yourself and in people close to you — is the most effective way to prevent gambling from becoming a serious personal, financial, or psychological problem.
The following checklist covers common indicators associated with problem gambling. If you can honestly answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to contact the gk99 support team or activate a self-exclusion period while you reflect on your gambling habits.
Problem Gambling Self-Assessment
5 Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a formal, structured commitment to stop gambling on gk99 for a defined period of time. It is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available and is intended for players who feel that their gambling has become, or is in danger of becoming, out of control.
gk99 takes all self-exclusion requests with the utmost seriousness. Once a self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed until the chosen exclusion period has expired. This is intentional — the purpose of self-exclusion is to provide a firm commitment mechanism that cannot be undone in a moment of impulse.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
-
1Contact Support Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered email address and your chosen exclusion period (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent).
-
2Identity Verification The support agent will verify your identity using your registered account details before processing the exclusion. This prevents accidental or unauthorised activation of self-exclusion by a third party.
-
3Account Restriction Applied Within two hours of your request being confirmed, your gk99 account will be restricted. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. Any balance in your account at the time of exclusion will remain available for withdrawal.
-
4Marketing Opt-Out All promotional communications — including bonus offers, event notifications, and seasonal promotions — will cease immediately. Your contact details will be flagged to prevent accidental re-marketing during the exclusion period.
-
5Expiry and Reinstatement Once your chosen exclusion period expires, your account will not be automatically reopened. You must contact support and explicitly confirm that you wish to resume access. A mandatory 24-hour reflection period applies before any reinstatement request is acted upon.
6 Deposit Limits
One of the most effective ways to keep gambling within your budget is to set a hard limit on how much you can deposit within a given time period. gk99's deposit limit system is designed to be easy to set, immediately effective when lowering limits, and deliberately slower to reverse when raising them.
Available Limit Periods
- Daily Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit across all payment methods within a single calendar day (midnight to midnight, Bangladesh Standard Time).
- Weekly Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit within a rolling seven-day period.
- Monthly Deposit Limit: The maximum total amount you can deposit within a rolling thirty-day period.
Key Rules
- Limits can be expressed in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) and apply across all payment methods — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, bank transfer, and card.
- Lowering a deposit limit takes effect immediately with no delay.
- Raising a deposit limit requires a minimum 24-hour waiting period before the new, higher limit becomes active. This cooling-off window is intentional and cannot be waived.
- If you set multiple period limits (e.g., both a daily and a weekly limit), the most restrictive limit in effect at any given time governs your deposit capability.
- Deposit limit requests submitted via the support team are processed within two hours.
7 Time-Out & Cooling-Off Periods
A time-out is a short-to-medium-term break from gambling on gk99. Unlike full self-exclusion, a time-out is designed for players who want to pause their activity for a defined period without permanently closing their account. It is an effective option for players who feel they need a reset without committing to a lengthy exclusion.
Time-Out Duration Options
- 24 Hours: A one-day break — useful if you have had an unexpectedly long session and want to step back before returning.
- 48 Hours: A two-day break — good for a weekend pause or a short mental reset after a losing run.
- 7 Days: A one-week break — suitable for players who want a structured weekly pause as part of a responsible gaming routine.
- 30 Days: A one-month break — recommended for players who are noticing early warning signs but are not ready to commit to full self-exclusion.
What Happens During a Time-Out
- Your account is restricted from new deposits and all gameplay — casino games, sports betting, slots, and live dealer tables.
- Any existing balance in your account remains intact and is available for withdrawal at any time during the time-out period.
- All promotional communications are paused for the duration of the time-out.
- Session-based login is disabled — you cannot log in to browse games or check open bets on restricted markets.
- The time-out cannot be cancelled early. Once activated, it runs for its full stated duration before account access is restored.

9 Protecting Minors
gk99 has zero tolerance for underage gambling. The platform is designed exclusively for adults aged 21 and above, and we take every practical step to prevent minors from accessing gambling content. However, we also recognise that parents and guardians have a key role to play in ensuring that children cannot access gambling platforms through shared devices or accounts.
Guidance for Parents and Guardians
- Never share your gk99 account credentials — username, password, or PIN — with anyone, including family members who are under 21.
- Log out of your gk99 account fully after each session on shared computers, tablets, or mobile devices.
- Use device-level parental control software to block access to gambling websites on devices used by children. Popular parental control tools for Android and iOS devices are available free of charge.
- If you use bKash, Nagad, or Rocket as your deposit method, ensure that your mobile wallet app is protected with a PIN or biometric lock that minors cannot access.
- Keep your gk99 account statements and transaction history private. Do not leave deposit confirmations or betting history visible on shared screens.
Reporting Suspected Underage Access
If you have reason to believe that a minor has accessed or is attempting to access a gk99 account — whether their own or another person's — please report this immediately to [email protected]. Include as much detail as possible. gk99 investigates all such reports within two hours and will take immediate account action where underage access is confirmed.
10 Safer Play Tips
Responsible gambling is not only about crisis intervention — it is about building habits from the start that keep gambling enjoyable and contained. The following practical tips are designed for all gk99 players, whether you are new to the platform or a long-standing member.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide the maximum amount you are comfortable spending before you start your session. Treat this amount as the cost of entertainment — not an investment. Once it is gone, stop for the day.
Never Chase Losses
One of the most damaging gambling behaviours is increasing bet sizes in an attempt to recover previous losses. Losses are part of gambling — accept them and walk away when your session budget is reached.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen every 30 to 60 minutes. Use the reality check feature to remind you of the time elapsed and your net position. Breaks help you maintain perspective and make clearer decisions.
Do Not Gamble Under Stress
Avoid gambling when you are emotionally upset, tired, under the influence of substances, or under significant financial pressure. Decisions made in these states are rarely sound and can lead to regret.
Understand the Odds
Every game on gk99 has a built-in house edge. Over the long term, the expected outcome of gambling is a net loss. Gambling should be treated as entertainment spending — like buying a cinema ticket — not as a source of income.
Keep Balance in Your Life
Make sure gambling does not crowd out other enjoyable activities — time with family, physical exercise, socialising with friends, celebrating Eid or Pohela Boishakh, pursuing hobbies. A balanced lifestyle is the best safeguard against problem gambling.
Enjoy the Platform — Within Your Limits
Now that you are familiar with gk99's responsible gaming framework, explore the platform with confidence. Our tools are always available to keep your experience safe, enjoyable, and within your control.
21+ only. Please play responsibly. Gambling can be addictive.
