Responsible Gaming at tvb99 — Play Smart, Stay Safe
tvb99 believes that gaming should always be an enjoyable, controlled experience. Our responsible gaming framework provides every player in Bangladesh with practical tools and clear guidance to manage their play, set personal limits, and seek help whenever it is needed. Your wellbeing comes before any game.
tvb99 provides every player with a full suite of responsible gaming tools. Use them freely — they are available in your account settings at any time.
1 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At tvb99, responsible gaming is not a compliance checkbox — it is a genuine, ongoing commitment that shapes how we design our platform, support our players, and respond to signs of distress. We understand that the vast majority of our players in Bangladesh enjoy slots, live casino games, and cricket betting as a form of entertainment. Most players set a budget, stick to it, and walk away after an enjoyable session. However, for a small number of individuals, gambling can evolve from recreation into a habit that causes financial, social, or emotional harm.
tvb99's responsible gaming framework exists to serve both groups. For the majority, it provides transparency, control tools, and session insights that make entertainment more mindful. For the minority who may be at risk, it provides early detection, access to self-help tools, and a clear pathway to professional support — all delivered without judgment and with full respect for the player's dignity and privacy.
We collaborate with our game providers — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and Spribe — to ensure that all games on the tvb99 platform carry accurate return-to-player (RTP) information and do not use design mechanics intended to exploit vulnerable players. Every promotional offer on tvb99 is subject to transparent terms, with wagering requirements stated clearly in plain English so players can make informed choices before accepting a bonus.
tvb99 actively monitors account activity for patterns associated with problem gambling — such as extended session lengths, rapid deposit sequences, and attempts to reverse withdrawal requests. Where such patterns are detected, our player safety team may proactively reach out to the affected player to offer guidance or apply a temporary account review. This monitoring is carried out in the player's interest and in strict accordance with our Privacy Policy.
2 Age Restriction & Verification
tvb99 operates a strict 18+ policy across every product on the platform — slots, live casino, crash games, sports betting, and all other game categories. Registering, depositing, or placing any wager on tvb99 is permitted only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older at the time of registration. This policy is non-negotiable and is enforced through a combination of self-declaration at registration and formal KYC document verification.
How Age Verification Works at tvb99
When you create a tvb99 account, you confirm during registration that you are 18 years of age or older. However, self-declaration alone is not sufficient. Before any withdrawal is processed, your account must pass a full KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, which requires you to submit one of the following valid identity documents:
- National Identity Card (NID) issued by the Bangladesh Election Commission
- Valid Bangladeshi Passport
- Driving Licence issued by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA)
All submitted documents are reviewed by our verification team, who confirm both the identity and the age of the account holder. If a submitted document reveals that the account holder is under 18 years of age, the account will be permanently closed, all pending withdrawals will be cancelled, and any deposits made will be refunded to the original payment source after deducting any costs incurred. No exceptions are made.
tvb99 supports initiatives that help parents protect minors from exposure to online gambling content. Widely used parental control tools available in Bangladesh include built-in browser content filters (available on Chrome, Firefox, and Samsung Internet), device-level screen time controls (available on Android and iOS), and third-party parental control applications. These tools can be configured to block gambling-related domains on any shared device in your household.
3 Deposit Limits & Spending Controls
One of the most effective ways to keep your gaming budget under control is to set a deposit limit before you begin playing. tvb99 offers flexible deposit limit options that you can configure at any time directly within your account settings. Setting a deposit limit is free, instant, and reversible — though increases are subject to a mandatory review period to protect your interests.
Available Deposit Limit Types
- Daily Deposit Limit: Cap the total amount you can deposit into your tvb99 account within any 24-hour rolling period.
- Weekly Deposit Limit: Set a ceiling on deposits over any 7-day rolling window — useful for players who prefer weekly budgeting.
- Monthly Deposit Limit: Define a firm maximum for total deposits over any 30-day period, aligned with monthly income cycles common among players in Dhaka, Chittagong, and other major Bangladeshi cities.
How Limit Changes Are Handled
Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately with no waiting period. This is intentional — if you decide in the moment that you need to spend less, tvb99 will honour that decision right away without delay. Increasing a deposit limit, however, requires a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the higher limit becomes active. This delay is a deliberate safeguard designed to prevent impulsive decisions made during a losing session from causing disproportionate financial harm.
In addition to deposit limits, tvb99 also provides a loss limit tool, which caps the total amount you can lose within a defined period regardless of how many separate deposits you make. If you reach your loss limit, you will be unable to place further wagers until the limit period resets or you request an adjustment (subject to the same 7-day increase delay). Contact our support team at [email protected] to enable a loss limit on your account.
4 Time-Out & Session Management
Sometimes the most responsible decision a player can make is simply to take a break. tvb99 offers a range of time-out and session management tools that make it easy to step away from the platform for a defined period — whether you need a few hours to clear your head after a frustrating session, or several weeks to reassess your gaming habits.
Session Time Limits and Reality Checks
Beyond account-level time-outs, tvb99 allows you to set a per-session time limit that automatically ends your gaming session after a defined period — for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. When your session limit is reached, you will see a session summary screen showing the duration of your session, the total amount wagered, and your net result. You can then choose to log out or, if your limits permit, start a new session.
Reality check reminders are on-screen notifications that appear at regular intervals during play — every 30 minutes, for example — and briefly display your current session duration and net balance. These prompts are designed to counteract the natural tendency to lose track of time during engaging gameplay and encourage active, conscious decision-making. You can configure reality check intervals in your tvb99 account settings under the Responsible Gaming panel.
5 Self-Exclusion Programme
Self-exclusion is a formal programme available to any tvb99 player who feels that their gambling has moved beyond their control and that a firm, extended break is necessary. Unlike a standard time-out, self-exclusion is a serious commitment with a minimum duration of 6 months and cannot be reversed during the active exclusion window — regardless of the reason given. tvb99 enforces self-exclusion rigorously because we understand that the decision to self-exclude is often made at a moment of genuine vulnerability, and reversing it too easily would undermine its protective purpose.
Self-Exclusion Duration Options
- 6 Months: The minimum self-exclusion period. Account access, deposits, and wagering are fully blocked for the entire 6-month window.
- 1 Year: A 12-month exclusion for players who feel they need a substantial period of distance from gambling.
- 5 Years: A long-term exclusion suitable for players whose gambling habits have caused serious financial or personal harm.
- Permanent / Indefinite: A lifetime ban from the tvb99 platform. This option is irreversible. The account is permanently closed and cannot be reopened under any circumstances.
What Happens When You Self-Exclude
Immediately upon confirmation of a self-exclusion request, your tvb99 account is locked. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any wager for the full duration of the exclusion. All marketing and promotional communications from tvb99 are permanently halted. Any pending withdrawals at the time of exclusion will be processed in full and returned to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account) within the standard processing window.
If you attempt to register a new tvb99 account during your self-exclusion period, our systems are designed to detect the duplicate registration using the identity data associated with your original account, and the new account will be closed. If any deposits are made to a successfully reopened account during an active exclusion period, tvb99 will refund those deposits and report the incident to our player safety team for review.
When a self-exclusion period expires, your account will not be automatically reactivated. You must contact tvb99 support to request reinstatement, and a mandatory responsible gaming review will be conducted before access is restored. This review includes a brief questionnaire about your current relationship with gambling, designed to ensure that returning to the platform is genuinely in your best interest at that time.
6 Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look dramatic. It can develop gradually, often going unnoticed until significant financial or personal damage has occurred. Recognising the early warning signs — in yourself or someone close to you — is the first and most important step toward getting things back under control. The signs below are commonly associated with gambling habits that have moved beyond healthy entertainment.
Behavioural Warning Signs
- Spending more time gambling than originally intended on a regular basis
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling
- Returning to gambling immediately after a loss in an attempt to "win it back"
- Lying to family members or close friends about the extent of gambling activity
- Neglecting work, education, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, loneliness, or anxiety
- Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
Financial Warning Signs
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses such as rent, utilities, or food
- Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial services to fund gambling
- Selling personal possessions to generate funds for gambling
- Hiding bank statements, bKash/Nagad transaction histories, or account balances
- Accumulating debts that are directly connected to gambling losses
- Increasing bet sizes progressively to chase the same level of excitement
- Depositing repeatedly in short bursts after losing, without pausing to reflect
If you recognise three or more of these signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use tvb99's self-exclusion or time-out tools immediately and reach out to a support service. These signs do not mean you are a bad person — they mean you may need support, and help is available.
7 Self-Assessment Checklist
The following questions are drawn from internationally recognised problem gambling screening tools. Read each question honestly and consider how often the described situation has applied to you in the past 12 months. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we recommend that you contact tvb99 support to discuss available help tools, or reach out to a professional support service.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Gaming Habits
Even if you do not currently feel that gambling is a problem, the following practices help ensure it stays that way. These are habits observed by the most consistent, long-term recreational players on the tvb99 platform:
- Set a budget before every session — decide how much you are comfortable losing before you start, and treat that amount as an entertainment cost rather than an investment.
- Never gamble when emotional — stress, anger, grief, or even extreme excitement can distort decision-making. The best gaming sessions happen with a clear, calm mind.
- Take regular breaks — step away from the screen every 45–60 minutes. Use tvb99's reality check reminders to help build this habit.
- Keep gambling separate from other finances — consider using a dedicated bKash or Nagad wallet exclusively for gaming deposits, funded only from your discretionary entertainment budget.
- Talk openly — share your gaming habits with a trusted friend or family member. Transparency reduces the risk of gaming escalating into a secret, compulsive behaviour.
- Remember that losses are the cost of entertainment — no betting strategy guarantees profit. The house edge exists across all games. Enjoy the experience; do not chase outcomes.
tvb99 is committed to the principle that gambling should enhance your leisure time, never diminish your quality of life. We are proud to serve players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, and every corner of Bangladesh — and we take our responsibility to each of those players seriously. If gaming stops being fun, please stop. Help is always here.
