Our Commitment

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Problem

xo99 is committed to providing a fair, transparent, and responsible betting and casino environment for all players in Bangladesh. While the vast majority of our players enjoy xo99 as a form of entertainment — placing bets on BPL cricket, spinning slots from Pragmatic Play or NetEnt, or playing live dealer tables from Evolution Gaming — we fully acknowledge that for a small number of people, gambling can become harmful.

Responsible gaming is the set of policies, tools, and practices that xo99 maintains to minimise harm and empower every player to stay in control. Whether you are a casual bettor funding your account via bKash on match days, or a regular casino player depositing via Nagad or Rocket, the same robust responsible gaming framework applies to your account.

We encourage every xo99 player to treat gambling as entertainment with a defined budget — never as a way to generate income, recover losses, or cope with stress. The tools on this page are here to help you keep that perspective at all times.

Golden Rule of Responsible Gaming: Only ever gamble with money you can genuinely afford to lose. Set a budget before you start, stick to it, and treat any winnings as a welcome bonus — not an expectation.
21+

Strictly 21 and Above

xo99 enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all registered players in Bangladesh. This is a firm, non-negotiable policy. Age verification is required during the account registration and KYC process. Any account found to belong to a player under the age of 21 will be permanently closed and all funds returned to the depositor.

Example: Monthly Deposit Limit

Used this month ৳3,200 / ৳5,000
Weekly Session Time 4.5h / 8h
Single Bet Limit ৳500 max

These limits are illustrative of the controls available on your xo99 account dashboard.

Core Principles

Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming at xo99

Every feature listed here is built directly into the xo99 platform and available to all registered Bangladesh players at no extra cost or complexity.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your xo99 account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted for that period — regardless of payment method, whether bKash, Nagad, or Rocket. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they activate.

Loss Limits

A loss limit prevents your account from sustaining losses beyond a threshold you define over a set period. When your net losses reach the limit within the daily, weekly, or monthly window, xo99 will automatically restrict further real-money play until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming activity within a manageable budget.

Session Time Limits

Define a maximum session duration for each visit to xo99 — for example, a maximum of two hours per session. When your session time reaches your limit, xo99 will display a clear notification and, if you have chosen a hard limit, will log you out automatically. Session time limits are particularly useful for maintaining a healthy balance between gaming and daily life responsibilities.

Reality Check Reminders

xo99 can display periodic on-screen reminders at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — showing you how long your current session has lasted and your net win/loss position for the session. These reality checks help prevent the immersive nature of live casino or cricket in-play betting from causing you to lose track of time or expenditure.

Time-Out (Short Break)

Need a short break from xo99? The time-out feature allows you to temporarily suspend access to your account for a defined period: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, place bets, play casino games, or make deposits. Time-outs activate immediately and cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling has become or is at risk of becoming a problem, self-exclusion allows you to close your xo99 account for a minimum period of 6 months, up to a permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, all account access, marketing communications, and promotional offers are suspended. xo99 retains your self-exclusion record for a minimum of five years post-exclusion to prevent inadvertent re-registration.

01
Log in to Your xo99 Account

Visit the xo99 Login page and access your account using your registered credentials. Responsible gaming tools are accessible to all verified account holders from the account settings dashboard.

02
Navigate to Responsible Gaming Settings

Inside your account dashboard, locate the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section. All limit-setting tools, time-out options, and self-exclusion requests are consolidated in this single section for ease of access.

03
Set, Adjust, or Activate Your Chosen Tools

Choose the tools you want to use — deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, reality checks, or time-out. Reductions and activations take effect immediately. Any increase to a previously set limit requires a 24-hour review period before the higher limit becomes active.

04
Contact Support for Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion requests can be initiated via the account dashboard or by contacting xo99 support directly at [email protected]. The xo99 team will process all self-exclusion requests within 24 hours of receipt and confirm activation by email to your registered address.

Step-by-Step Guide

How to Set Up Your Limits on xo99

Setting up responsible gaming limits on xo99 is a straightforward process designed to take no more than a few minutes. We have intentionally made these tools prominent and easy to access — because we want every Bangladesh player to feel genuinely empowered to manage their own experience on the platform.

All responsible gaming tools are self-service and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including Bangladesh public holidays such as Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha, Victory Day (December 16), and Independence Day (March 26). You do not need to wait for customer support to set a deposit limit or activate a time-out — these changes are applied instantly from your account settings.

For players who find self-service tools insufficient — or who are in a situation where they feel they cannot safely trust themselves to manage these settings independently — the xo99 support team is available at all times to step in and apply restrictions on your behalf immediately, with no questions asked and no judgment.

Immediate Limit Reductions: If you contact xo99 support and request an immediate account restriction — whether a deposit limit reduction, a loss limit reduction, or an account time-out — xo99 will apply the restriction within 1 hour of receiving your request, regardless of what time of day or night it is in Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).

xo99 also actively monitors account activity using responsible gaming analysis tools. If our systems identify patterns of play that may indicate problem gambling behaviour — such as significantly extended session durations, unusually rapid bet escalation, or a high frequency of unsuccessful withdrawal cancellations — our responsible gaming team may proactively reach out to check in with you. This outreach is not punitive; it is a genuine player welfare check.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising the early warning signs of a problem is the first and most important step toward addressing it. Review the signs below honestly and consider whether any apply to your current relationship with gambling.

Chasing losses is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling. It occurs when a player increases their bet sizes or deposits additional funds — often via bKash or Nagad — specifically to try to win back money they have already lost. This behaviour creates a cycle that tends to escalate rather than resolve, because gambling outcomes are random and past losses have no bearing on future results. If you find yourself depositing money you had not originally budgeted for in an attempt to break even, this is a strong warning sign that responsible gaming tools — and potentially professional support — are needed.

Using money that is earmarked for rent, utilities, food, or family expenses to fund gambling is a serious warning sign. Responsible gambling is entertainment, and like all entertainment, it must be funded from discretionary income — money that remains after all financial obligations and necessities have been covered. If you have ever used money from your primary household budget, borrowed money from family or friends, or taken out a loan to fund your xo99 account, we strongly encourage you to contact the xo99 support team and activate deposit limits or a time-out immediately.

When gambling begins to interfere with your professional responsibilities, your family relationships, or your personal health and wellbeing, it has moved beyond entertainment into harmful territory. Warning signs include missing work deadlines to place bets, being distracted by upcoming cricket matches or casino sessions during family time, losing sleep due to late-night gaming sessions, or finding that gambling is your primary way of relaxing and unwinding. These patterns indicate that gambling is taking on an unhealthy level of importance in your daily life.

Emotional discomfort when not gambling — such as anxiety, restlessness, irritability, or a persistent preoccupation with when you will next be able to log in and play — can be a sign that gambling has moved from a leisure activity to a compulsive behaviour. These feelings are similar to withdrawal symptoms and indicate that the brain's reward circuitry has become strongly conditioned to the stimulation that gambling provides. If you recognise these feelings in yourself, please reach out to xo99 support or consult a professional counsellor.

Secrecy about gambling is a significant warning sign. If you find yourself concealing your xo99 account activity, hiding deposit transactions from your bKash or Nagad history, minimising the amount you have been gambling when talking to family members, or feeling shame or guilt about your gambling behaviour, these feelings are important signals worth taking seriously. Healthy recreational gambling is typically something people feel comfortable discussing openly. The need for secrecy often reflects an awareness — even if not fully articulated — that the gambling has become disproportionate.

Many people who develop a gambling problem genuinely intend to play within limits they set for themselves — and then find they consistently exceed them. If you have repeatedly told yourself "just one more bet" or "I'll stop after this game" only to continue well beyond that point, or if you have set deposit or loss limits in xo99 and then quickly increased them when they were triggered, the platform's tools are not being given the chance to work effectively. In this situation, contacting xo99 support to request a mandatory hard limit — one that requires a full 7-day cooling-off period before any increase — may provide the additional structure that helps.
If you recognise two or more of the above signs in your own behaviour: Please take action today. You do not need to be in a severe crisis to reach out for help. Contacting xo99 support at [email protected] to discuss your options is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our team treats all responsible gaming conversations with complete confidentiality and without judgment.

Strongest Protection Tool

Self-Exclusion — When You Need a Full Stop

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available on xo99. It is designed for players who have determined — either on their own or with the guidance of a counsellor or support network — that they need to stop gambling entirely for a defined or indefinite period.

Unlike a time-out (which is a short-term break), self-exclusion is a formal, binding commitment. Once a self-exclusion is in place on your xo99 account, the following restrictions apply immediately and for the full duration of the exclusion period:

  • All access to the xo99 platform is blocked — you cannot log in via any device or browser
  • All pending deposits are blocked and any available account balance will be returned to your verified bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account
  • All marketing emails, SMS messages, and promotional communications from xo99 are suspended
  • You will not be contactable by xo99's marketing or retention teams for the duration of the exclusion
  • Any attempt to create a new xo99 account during the exclusion period will be detected and blocked using the identity information held on your original account
Self-Exclusion Periods Available: 6 months · 12 months · 2 years · 5 years · Permanent exclusion. All periods are firm. The minimum self-exclusion period is 6 months and cannot be reversed. After the exclusion period ends, re-activation of your account requires a deliberate, manual application — it does not occur automatically.

To request a self-exclusion, contact xo99 at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Include your registered username and your chosen exclusion period. Your request will be actioned within 24 hours, and you will receive email confirmation once the exclusion is active. For urgent cases — where you feel you need the exclusion applied immediately — please state "URGENT" in your email subject line and the team will prioritise your request above all other support queries.

xo99 strongly encourages players who choose self-exclusion to also consider self-excluding from other online gambling platforms to ensure the break is comprehensive. A partial exclusion from only one platform while remaining active on others limits the effectiveness of the tool significantly.

External Support

Help Is Available — You Are Not Alone

In addition to xo99's own responsible gaming tools, professional support organisations can provide confidential guidance, counselling, and practical help for anyone affected by problem gambling in Bangladesh.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Opening up to a trusted family member, friend, or colleague about your gambling concerns is often the first and most meaningful step. Many people dealing with a gambling problem find that simply speaking honestly to someone close — rather than managing the issue alone — provides both relief and practical support in making changes.

Consult a Mental Health Professional

Licensed counsellors and psychiatrists in Bangladesh can provide structured, confidential support for compulsive gambling behaviours. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing are evidence-based approaches that have been shown to be effective in helping people regain control over problematic gambling patterns. Your doctor or a community health centre in Dhaka, Chittagong, or your local district can provide a referral.

Peer Support and Community Groups

Peer support groups bring together individuals who share similar experiences with problem gambling in a structured, confidential setting. Hearing from others who have navigated the same challenges — and who have found sustainable ways to manage their relationship with gambling — can be both motivating and practically informative for those seeking to make a lasting change.

xo99 Responsible Gaming Team

The xo99 responsible gaming team is available 24/7 via email at [email protected]. All responsible gaming conversations are treated with complete confidentiality and handled by team members specifically trained in player wellbeing. Whether you want to set limits, request a self-exclusion, or simply talk through your concerns, the team is ready to help without judgment at any hour, Bangladesh Standard Time.

Online Self-Assessment Tools

Several internationally recognised self-assessment questionnaires — including the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) — are available freely online and can help you get a clearer picture of whether your gambling patterns are within a healthy range or indicate a developing problem. xo99 recommends that any player who scores in the moderate-to-high range on a self-assessment tool considers activating responsible gaming tools or seeking professional advice promptly.

Financial Counselling

If gambling has created financial difficulties — including debt to family, friends, banks, or mobile financial services such as bKash or Nagad — a financial counsellor can help you develop a realistic plan to address these obligations and rebuild financial stability. Many non-profit organisations and microfinance institutions across Bangladesh offer free or subsidised financial counselling services to individuals and families in need.

Our Promise to You

xo99's Responsible Gaming Commitments

xo99 makes the following firm commitments to every registered player on the platform. These are not aspirational statements — they are operational standards that the xo99 team is held accountable to on a daily basis.

  • We will never market to self-excluded players. Once a self-exclusion is active, all marketing and promotional communications cease immediately and do not resume under any circumstances until the exclusion period has formally ended and you have manually re-activated your account.
  • We will never market to underage players. xo99's age verification process is applied at registration and at the point of first withdrawal. Any account identified as belonging to a player under 21 years of age will be closed immediately, regardless of account balance or activity history.
  • We will make responsible gaming tools easy to find. Our responsible gaming settings are accessible from the main account dashboard — they are not buried in a sub-menu or hidden behind a support ticket. Any player should be able to locate and activate a deposit limit or time-out within two minutes of logging in.
  • We will respond to all responsible gaming requests within 24 hours. Whether you email us at [email protected] to request a self-exclusion, a hard deposit limit, or a simple reality check configuration, xo99's team will action your request and confirm it by email within 24 hours. Urgent requests labelled "URGENT" will be actioned within 1 hour.
  • We will not reverse a cooling-off period on request alone. If you have set a deposit limit reduction or activated a time-out, xo99 will not reverse it simply because you request it during the cooling-off window. The purpose of the cooling-off period is to protect you from impulsive decisions; honouring that protection is our responsibility.
  • We will proactively monitor for problem gambling indicators. xo99 uses responsible gaming monitoring tools to identify patterns that may indicate a player is experiencing difficulties. If our system flags your account, a member of the player welfare team will reach out by email to check in — not to pressure you to play more, but to ensure you are aware of the tools available to you.
  • We will treat all responsible gaming conversations with confidentiality. Information shared with the xo99 responsible gaming team about your gambling patterns, financial situation, or personal circumstances is treated as strictly confidential. It is not shared with marketing teams and is not used for any commercial purpose. Please refer to the xo99 Privacy Policy for full details on how personal data is handled.
Responsible Gaming and Your Rights: As an xo99 player, you have the right to set any responsible gaming limit at any time, to request a self-exclusion at any time, to request that your marketing preferences be updated at any time, and to request a full account closure and balance withdrawal at any time — all without being required to provide a reason. These are your rights and xo99 will honour them without delay.

Age Verification Policy

21+ Policy — Protecting Young People

xo99 maintains a strict minimum age policy of 21 years for all players. This policy is non-negotiable and applies equally to all players in Bangladesh regardless of their payment method, location within the country — whether Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, or Cox's Bazar — or the type of gaming activity they wish to undertake.

Age verification is conducted as part of the standard Know Your Customer (KYC) process that all xo99 players must complete before their first withdrawal is processed. Acceptable identity documents for age verification include a valid National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driver's licence issued by the Government of Bangladesh. The document must clearly show the player's date of birth confirming they are aged 21 or above.

In cases where age verification cannot be completed — for example, where the identity document provided is unclear, expired, or does not match the account registration details — xo99 will suspend the account pending successful verification. Any deposits made during the suspended period will be returned to the originating bKash, Nagad, or Rocket account.

If You Suspect an Underage Player: If you believe that a person under the age of 21 has registered or is using an xo99 account — including a family member or someone using your device — please contact xo99 immediately at [email protected] with the subject line "Underage Player Report". xo99 will investigate and take action on all such reports as a matter of urgency.

xo99 also recommends that parents and guardians in Bangladesh who share devices with younger family members use parental control software to restrict access to online gambling platforms. A variety of free and commercial parental control solutions are available that can block access to specific URLs and categories of content, providing an additional layer of protection for households with younger members.
