Responsible Gaming at ss999
Gambling is entertainment. At ss999, we are committed to keeping it that way for every player in Bangladesh. This page explains the tools, limits, and support options available to help you stay in control — because a healthy relationship with gaming starts with the right information.
18 + Age Verification
All ss999 players must be 18 years or older. Age verification is carried out during the KYC process and is a non-negotiable requirement before any withdrawal can be processed.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit ceilings directly from your account settings. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be raised for 48 hours — giving you a real cooling-off period.
Session Time-Out
Activate a session time-out of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days from your account settings. During a time-out your account is accessible for withdrawals but all gaming and betting activity is paused.
Self-Exclusion
Players who need a longer break can request a self-exclusion of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and no marketing communications will be sent.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable regular on-screen reminders that display how long your current session has been running and how much you have wagered. These pop-up prompts help you make conscious decisions about continuing or stopping.
Dedicated Support
ss999's responsible gaming support team is available seven days a week. If you or someone close to you is concerned about gambling habits, contact us at [email protected] for confidential, non-judgmental assistance.
Section 1
18+ Age Restriction
ss999 operates exclusively for adults aged 18 years and above. This is not simply a policy preference — it is a firm requirement applied to every account on the platform, regardless of the player's location within Bangladesh or the payment method used.
When you register for an ss999 account, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. Before your first withdrawal is approved, the KYC verification process will require you to submit a copy of a valid government-issued identity document — such as your National Identity Card (NID), passport, or birth certificate — so that our verification team can confirm your date of birth. Any account found to belong to a player under the age of 18 will be suspended immediately, all funds will be held pending investigation, and the matter will be escalated in accordance with applicable rules.
Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to use parental control software to prevent underage individuals from accessing online gambling platforms. If you believe an underage person has accessed ss999, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so the matter can be investigated and resolved promptly.
Why This Matters
Gambling can have significant financial and psychological consequences, and young people are particularly vulnerable to developing problematic habits. ss999 takes its obligation to protect minors with the utmost seriousness. Our age verification process is one of the most important safeguards we have in place, and we continuously work to strengthen it.
Strictly 18+ Platform
ss999 is for adults aged 18 and above only. Attempting to register or continue using the platform while underage is a breach of our Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account closure and forfeiture of funds.
KYC Age Verification
Your date of birth is cross-checked against your submitted identity document during KYC. Withdrawals are withheld until age verification is successfully completed. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Section 2
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
For the vast majority of players, gambling on ss999 is a form of entertainment — a way to enjoy cricket betting during a BPL match or to unwind with a few rounds on a favourite slot. However, for some individuals gambling can gradually shift from recreation to a harmful compulsion. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important first step toward regaining control.
The following patterns may indicate that gambling is becoming a problem rather than a pastime. You do not need to experience all of these signs — even one or two of them appearing consistently is worth paying serious attention to:
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can comfortably afford to lose.
- Chasing losses — continuing to bet in order to win back money you have already lost.
- Gambling with money meant for essential household expenses such as rent, food, or bills.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling or when you try to stop.
- Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
- Borrowing money from others to fund gambling sessions.
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
- Feeling that you need to gamble with larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement.
- Repeatedly making unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling.
- Gambling as a primary way to escape stress, loneliness, depression, or other difficult emotions.
If several of these descriptions feel familiar, we encourage you to use the self-assessment checklist in the next section and to reach out to ss999 support or a professional counselling service. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Early Action Matters
Problem gambling is far easier to address in its early stages. If you notice even one or two of the warning signs listed here appearing consistently in your behaviour, do not wait — speak to ss999 support or set a deposit limit today.
Concerned About Someone Else?

Section 3
Self-Assessment Checklist
Answer the following questions honestly. If you find yourself answering "Yes" to three or more of them, we strongly recommend activating one or more of the responsible gaming tools available in your ss999 account, or contacting our support team for a confidential conversation.
1. Have you ever spent more on gambling in a single session than you intended to when you started?
2. Have you ever returned to gambling the day after a loss specifically to try to win the money back?
3. Have you ever used money set aside for household expenses — rent, food, utility bills — to fund a gambling session?
4. Have you ever felt that you needed to hide your gambling activity or the amounts you spend from your family or close friends?
5. Have you ever borrowed money from another person or taken a loan in order to gamble?
6. Have you ever felt irritable, anxious, or low when you were unable to access gambling for a period of time?
7. Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, miss important family events, or neglect other significant responsibilities?
8. Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling and found that you could not stick to your intention?
9. Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — planning your next session, reliving past wins or losses — even when you are doing other activities?
10. Do you gamble primarily to escape feelings of stress, loneliness, boredom, or sadness rather than for entertainment?
What a Healthy Gambling Relationship Looks Like
You set a budget before each session and stop when it is reached. You gamble with discretionary entertainment money only. Winning is a bonus, not an expectation. Losing does not make you feel compelled to continue. You can easily stop for days or weeks without distress. Gambling does not affect your work, relationships, or financial obligations.
Keep a Gambling Diary
One practical tool is to keep a simple log of each session — how long you played, how much you deposited, whether you won or lost, and how you felt before and after. Reviewing this diary weekly can reveal patterns that are easy to miss in the moment.
Section 4
Deposit Limits
One of the most effective tools for maintaining a healthy gambling budget is a deposit limit. ss999 allows you to set a cap on how much money can be deposited into your account over a specified time period, giving you a firm financial boundary that the platform will enforce on your behalf.
How Deposit Limits Work
Deposit limits can be set in three timeframes — daily, weekly, and monthly. You can apply one, two, or all three simultaneously to create a layered budget that reflects your personal financial situation. For example, a player might set a daily cap of ৳500, a weekly cap of ৳2,000, and a monthly cap of ৳6,000. Once any of these thresholds is reached, further deposit attempts will be automatically declined until the limit period resets.
Setting and Adjusting Limits
Log In to Your ss999 Account
Navigate to your account dashboard by logging in at ss999.im and clicking on your profile icon.
Open Responsible Gaming Settings
From the account menu, select "Responsible Gaming" to access all player protection tools in one place.
Select Deposit Limits
Choose daily, weekly, or monthly limit types and enter your preferred cap amount in Taka (৳).
Confirm and Activate
Confirm your selection. The new limit takes effect immediately. A confirmation message will be sent to your registered email address.
Changing Limits — Important Delay Rule
Lowering a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Raising a deposit limit or removing one requires a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period before the change is applied. This delay is intentional and cannot be waived.
Amounts in Bangladeshi Taka
All deposit limits on ss999 are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). You can set any limit amount that reflects your personal budget — there is no minimum threshold. The platform will round down to the nearest whole taka if a decimal is entered.
The 48-Hour Rule
Increasing or removing a deposit limit requires a 48-hour waiting period. This cooling-off buffer is designed to prevent impulsive decisions made during a losing session. If you request an increase and change your mind within 48 hours, you can cancel the request at no consequence.
Budget Tip
Financial advisors generally recommend treating gambling as a discretionary entertainment cost — similar to a cinema outing or a meal out. Setting your monthly deposit limit to a fixed percentage of your disposable income (after rent, food, and savings) is a practical and sustainable approach.
Section 5
Time-Out & Session Controls
Sometimes a player needs a short break — not a permanent exit, but a defined pause. ss999's time-out feature allows you to suspend all gaming and betting activity on your account for a set period while keeping the account open for withdrawal purposes.
Available Time-Out Durations
- 24-Hour Time-Out: A one-day pause. Ideal if you feel a session has gone on too long or you have had an unexpectedly frustrating experience and want to step back before making further decisions.
- 48-Hour Time-Out: A two-day break. Useful after a larger-than-intended loss where you want a meaningful cooling-off period before returning.
- 7-Day Time-Out: A one-week pause that removes the temptation of easy access for a full week. Suitable for players who want to reassess their habits without committing to a longer break.
- 30-Day Time-Out: A one-month pause. Appropriate if you have noticed warning signs and want significant time to reflect, speak to someone, or simply redirect your attention to other activities.
Reality Check Session Reminders
Separate from the time-out feature, ss999 offers configurable reality check reminders that appear on-screen during an active session at intervals you set yourself — every 30 minutes, every hour, or every two hours. Each reminder displays the total duration of your current session, the total amount wagered during the session, and your net session result. Reminders prompt you to make a deliberate, informed decision about whether to continue playing.
Automatic Session Limits
Players may also set a maximum session length, after which they will be automatically logged out. This is particularly useful for players who tend to lose track of time during late-night sessions. The session limit resets at the start of each new login — it is not a daily cap but a per-session ceiling. Setting a session limit of, for example, 90 minutes ensures that no single sitting extends beyond a healthy duration regardless of the gameplay outcome.
Time-Out vs Self-Exclusion
A time-out is a short, temporary pause after which your account automatically reopens. Self-exclusion is a longer-term or permanent suspension requiring a formal request. If you are unsure which option fits your situation, contact ss999 support for guidance before activating either tool.
What Remains Available During Time-Out
During an active time-out, you can still log in to your account to view your transaction history, request a withdrawal of any existing balance, or update your account details. Only wagering, depositing, and bonus claiming are suspended.
Section 6
Self-Exclusion Options
Self-exclusion is ss999's most robust player protection measure. It is designed for players who have determined that they need a significant period away from gambling — or who wish to permanently close their account. Unlike a time-out, a self-exclusion is not reversed automatically; it requires deliberate action to lift and carries a mandatory minimum cooling-off period before reinstatement is considered.
Self-Exclusion Periods
- 3 Months: A meaningful quarter-year break that provides time to reflect and, if appropriate, seek professional support.
- 6 Months: A half-year exclusion suitable for players experiencing significant disruption to their daily life caused by gambling.
- 12 Months: A full-year exclusion during which ss999 recommends engaging with a professional counselling service to address the underlying issues that led to the exclusion request.
- Permanent Self-Exclusion: An indefinite, irrevocable closure of your ss999 account. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed. Any remaining balance will be returned to you via your registered payment method after the exclusion is processed.
What Happens During Self-Exclusion
Once a self-exclusion is active, your ss999 account is fully suspended. You will not be able to log in, place bets, deposit funds, or claim bonuses. All marketing communications — promotional emails, SMS offers, and bonus notifications — will be immediately stopped. ss999 will make every reasonable effort to detect and block any attempt to create a new account during the exclusion period, though we strongly encourage players who are in self-exclusion not to attempt to circumvent this protection.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion can be initiated through your account's Responsible Gaming settings page, or by contacting ss999 support directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". For permanent exclusions, a brief identity verification step will be completed to ensure the request is processed accurately. The exclusion is applied within one business day of a confirmed request.
Reinstatement After Non-Permanent Exclusion
When a fixed-term self-exclusion period expires, your account does not automatically reopen. You must send a written reinstatement request to ss999 support. A mandatory 7-day reflection period is then applied before the account is restored, giving you one final opportunity to reconsider. ss999 reserves the right to require additional responsible gaming consultation before approving reinstatement in cases where the original exclusion was applied under circumstances of serious concern.
Permanent Exclusion Is Irreversible
Once a permanent self-exclusion is confirmed and processed, the decision cannot be undone. Please ensure you have considered all shorter-term options before choosing permanent exclusion. ss999 support can discuss the available alternatives with you before you finalise your decision.
Request Self-Exclusion by Email
To request self-exclusion by email, write to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". State your registered name, email address, and the exclusion period you are requesting. Our team will confirm receipt and action your request within one business day (Bangladesh Standard Time).
Marketing Stop Guarantee
Upon activation of any self-exclusion, ss999 will immediately suppress your registered email and mobile number from all marketing lists. You will receive no promotional communications of any kind during the exclusion period — this is an absolute guarantee, not a best-effort measure.
Section 7
Getting Help & Support
Recognising that you need help is the most important step in addressing a gambling problem, and reaching out is easier than it may feel in the moment. ss999 provides multiple channels through which players can seek guidance, and we treat all responsible gaming contacts with complete confidentiality and without judgement.
Contact ss999 Responsible Gaming Support
Our dedicated responsible gaming team can be reached at [email protected]. When writing, use the subject line "Responsible Gaming Help" so your message is prioritised and routed to the appropriate team. ss999 support acknowledges all responsible gaming enquiries within 24 hours during Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6) business hours, and provides a substantive response within 48 hours.
When you contact us, you can request any of the following without any negative impact on your account standing: information about the responsible gaming tools available; activation of a deposit limit, time-out, or self-exclusion; a referral to professional external support resources; or a confidential conversation about the concerns you are experiencing.
Talking to Someone You Trust
Beyond formal support channels, one of the most effective actions you can take is to confide in a family member, close friend, or trusted colleague about your experience. Sharing the burden of a gambling concern with someone who knows you well can provide both emotional relief and practical accountability. In Bangladesh, the social support structures of family and community are particularly strong — leaning on them is a healthy and culturally grounded approach.
Professional Counselling
For players who feel that gambling has significantly affected their mental health, finances, or relationships, professional counselling is strongly recommended. Qualified counsellors who specialise in behavioural addictions can provide structured, evidence-based support that goes beyond what any gaming platform can offer. ss999 encourages players in this situation to seek mental health services through reputable providers available in major Bangladeshi cities including Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Khulna.
If financial difficulties have arisen as a result of gambling, speaking with a qualified financial counsellor or debt advisor can help you create a realistic recovery plan. Many such services are available at low or no cost in Bangladesh.
You Are Not Alone
Problem gambling affects people across all income levels, professions, and backgrounds. It is a recognised behavioural condition, not a moral failing. Thousands of people recover successfully every year with the right support. ss999 is here to help you access that support without shame or stigma.

Section 8
Safer Play Tips
Whether you are a new player or have been enjoying ss999 for some time, these practical guidelines will help you maintain a healthy and enjoyable relationship with online gambling. Adopting even a few of these habits can make a significant difference over time.
- Set a budget before you start. Decide the maximum amount you are comfortable losing before you log in. Treat this figure as a fixed entertainment expense — not a floor from which you will try to recover.
- Never gamble with borrowed money. Only use funds from your own discretionary income. Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling sessions is one of the clearest signs that spending has moved beyond what is sustainable.
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every 30 to 60 minutes. Use ss999's built-in reality check reminders to prompt you automatically if you tend to lose track of time during sessions.
- Do not chase losses. If you have reached your session budget, close the app and walk away. The instinct to chase a loss with another deposit is one of the most reliable pathways to problem gambling — resist it firmly.
- Balance gambling with other activities. Maintain a varied leisure life that includes physical activity, socialising, hobbies, and time with family. Gambling should be one of several pastimes, not the dominant one.
- Avoid gambling under the influence. Alcohol or other substances impair judgement and lower the inhibitions that normally keep spending in check. Never place bets while impaired.
- Keep track of your activity. Review your transaction history in your ss999 account regularly. Seeing your actual deposit and withdrawal history in black and white (or, in ss999's case, purple and white) is a powerful reality check.
- Gamble for entertainment, not income. ss999 offers games of chance. The house edge ensures that, over time, gambling is not a reliable income source for any player. Approach every session as a form of paid entertainment, not an investment strategy.
- Use the tools available to you. Deposit limits, session time-outs, reality check reminders, and self-exclusion all exist specifically to support you. Using them is not an admission of weakness — it is smart, proactive account management.
- Talk openly if something changes. If your relationship with gambling ever starts to feel uncomfortable — if it stops being fun, if sessions feel compulsive, if money worries start to creep in — talk to someone. ss999 support, a trusted friend, or a professional counsellor are all valid first calls.
Track Your Sessions
Use the transaction history in your ss999 account to review deposits, wagers, and withdrawals each week. Awareness of your actual numbers — rather than an estimate — is the foundation of responsible play.
Schedule Your Play
Decide in advance which days and times you will play, and keep to that schedule. Spontaneous, unplanned sessions are more likely to overrun both time and budget than sessions approached with a clear start and end time.
Celebrate Small Wins Responsibly
When you win, consider withdrawing a portion rather than reinvesting the entire amount. Locking in a small profit — even just withdrawing your original stake after a winning session — builds good habits and keeps gambling enjoyable.
Play Responsibly at ss999
Enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and hundreds of slots knowing that ss999 has the tools to keep your experience safe, fair, and within your control.
