Our Commitment to Safe Play

At hm999, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal harm.

18+
Adults only. hm999 strictly prohibits gambling by individuals under 18 years of age. All accounts undergo age verification as part of the KYC process. Players found to be under 18 will have their accounts permanently closed and all funds returned or withheld in accordance with applicable regulations.
Player-First Approach

Every tool, policy, and safeguard at hm999 is designed with the player's wellbeing as the primary concern. Profit never comes before player safety in our operational decisions.

Proactive Monitoring

Our responsible gaming system continuously monitors account activity for patterns associated with problem gambling — such as rapid bet escalation, extended unbroken sessions, or sharp deposit spikes — and flags them for review.

Self-Management Tools

hm999 provides a comprehensive suite of self-management tools accessible directly from your account dashboard — including deposit limits, loss caps, session timers, cooling-off periods, and permanent self-exclusion.

24/7 Human Support

Our support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. If you have concerns about your gambling behaviour — or about someone else's — our agents are trained to provide compassionate, non-judgmental guidance.

Underage Access Prevention

hm999 verifies the age and identity of every registered player. We use document-based KYC checks — including National ID Card and selfie verification — to ensure that no one under 18 can access the platform.

Transparent Fair Play

All games on hm999 — including slots, live casino, cricket betting markets, and instant games — operate under certified Random Number Generator (RNG) systems and transparent odds, so you always know what you are playing with.

hm999 serves players across Bangladesh — from Dhaka and Chittagong to Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh — and we recognise that gambling habits can differ widely. Our commitment to responsible gaming is universal: every player deserves access to the same robust suite of self-protection tools, regardless of where they are located or how much they deposit.

Gambling is intended to be a leisure activity. We encourage every hm999 player to set a personal entertainment budget before each session, to treat losses as the cost of entertainment rather than a problem to recover, and to use our self-management tools freely and without stigma. If gambling ever stops feeling fun, we are here to help.

18+ Age Restriction & Verification

Protecting minors from gambling harm is a non-negotiable obligation at hm999. No player under the age of 18 may register, deposit, or access any game or betting market on this platform.

How We Verify Age

Every new hm999 account requires a date of birth at registration. This date is checked immediately against the minimum age threshold of 18 years. Before any withdrawal can be processed, players must complete full KYC verification, which includes submitting a government-issued identity document — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport — that confirms their date of birth.

Where date of birth cannot be confirmed from the primary document, additional supporting documentation may be requested. Accounts that fail to complete age verification within the required timeframe will have withdrawal and deposit functionality suspended until verification is complete.

Protecting Young People in Your Household

If you share a device or computer with family members under 18, we strongly recommend taking the following steps to prevent underage access to the hm999 platform:

  • Always log out of your hm999 account when you finish a session, and never save your password on a shared device.
  • Use your device's built-in parental controls or a third-party filtering application to restrict access to gambling websites. Widely used tools include Net Nanny, Qustodio, and Norton Family.
  • Keep your account credentials strictly private — do not share your username or password with anyone, including family members.
  • If you believe a minor has accessed your hm999 account, contact our support team immediately via live chat or at [email protected].

What Happens if Underage Access Is Detected

If hm999 identifies or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a registered account is being used by a person under 18 years of age, we will immediately suspend the account, freeze all funds pending investigation, conduct a full KYC review, and permanently close the account if underage use is confirmed. Any winnings accrued by an underage player will be withheld in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

Zero Tolerance for Underage Gambling hm999 operates a strict zero-tolerance policy for gambling by individuals under 18. This applies equally to account registration, deposits, gameplay, and bonus claims. Violations result in immediate permanent account closure.
Parental Advisory If you are a parent or guardian, please ensure your children cannot access your hm999 account or any gambling website. Use device-level parental controls in addition to logging out of the platform after every session.
KYC Is Mandatory Age and identity verification via KYC is mandatory before any withdrawal can be processed on hm999. Players who have not completed KYC cannot access the full range of platform features.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in oneself. Awareness is the first and most important step toward taking back control.

Gambling becomes a problem when it begins to interfere with your daily life, finances, relationships, or mental health. Unlike responsible recreational play — where the activity is enjoyable, budgeted, and time-limited — problem gambling is characterised by a loss of control over gambling behaviour despite negative consequences.

The following self-assessment questions can help you evaluate whether your gambling habits are becoming harmful. Answering "yes" to two or more of these questions may indicate that you would benefit from using hm999's self-management tools or seeking external support.

Do you find yourself spending more money on gambling than you originally planned?
Do you gamble to recover money that you have previously lost ("chasing losses")?
Have you borrowed money or sold possessions in order to fund gambling activity?
Do you feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you try to cut down on gambling?
Has gambling caused problems in your relationships with family, friends, or colleagues?
Do you hide the extent of your gambling activity from people close to you?
Do you use gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative feelings?
Have you tried unsuccessfully to cut down or stop gambling on your own?
Warning Signs to Watch For
  • Increasing bet sizes to achieve the same level of excitement
  • Gambling for longer periods than originally intended
  • Neglecting work, study, or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling preoccupied with planning your next gambling session
  • Using household or essential funds (rent, food, bills) for gambling
  • Lying to loved ones about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
  • Experiencing guilt, shame, or regret after gambling sessions
  • Feeling unable to stop even when you want to
  • Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce gambling
Recognising these signs — in yourself or in someone you care about — is a courageous first step. hm999 support is available 24/7 and will respond with compassion, not judgment.

Deposit & Loss Limits

Setting financial boundaries is one of the most effective responsible gaming tools available. hm999 gives you full control over how much you can deposit and lose within defined time windows.

Deposit and loss limits on hm999 are player-controlled and can be set at any time from your account dashboard. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately for reductions — meaning if you lower your daily deposit limit from ৳5,000 to ৳2,000, the ৳2,000 limit applies right away. Increases to existing limits, however, require a mandatory cooling-off period of 7 days before they take effect, giving you time to reconsider.

How to Set Your Limits

Navigate to Account > Responsible Gaming > Financial Limits in your hm999 dashboard. From there you can set or modify any of the limits described below. All changes are logged and cannot be circumvented by creating a second account.

Limit Type Available Periods Takes Effect Increase Cooling-Off
Deposit Limit
Max BDT deposited per period
Daily Weekly Monthly Immediately 7 days
Loss Limit
Max BDT lost per period
Daily Weekly Monthly Immediately 7 days
Wager Limit
Max BDT wagered per period
Daily Weekly Monthly Immediately 7 days
Single Bet Limit
Max BDT per individual bet
Per bet Immediately 7 days

All limit values are denominated in Bangladeshi Taka (BDT). There is no minimum limit value — you may set your deposit limit as low as ৳100 per day if that reflects your personal entertainment budget. hm999 strongly encourages all players to set financial limits at the time of account registration, before making their first deposit.

Tip: Set Limits Before You Deposit The most effective time to set your deposit and loss limits is before you make your first deposit. Limits set in advance are far more effective than limits applied retroactively after a large loss.
7-Day Cooling-Off on Increases If you request an increase to any financial limit, the increase will not take effect for 7 full days. This mandatory cooling-off period is a deliberate safeguard against impulsive decisions made in the heat of a session.

Session Time Controls

Time flies during an engaging betting or gaming session. hm999's session control tools help you stay aware of how long you have been playing and enforce breaks when you need them.

01
Session Time Limit

Set a maximum session duration — from 15 minutes to 8 hours — before which hm999 will automatically log you out. You will receive a notification 5 minutes before your session limit is reached so you can settle any active bets. Once the limit is hit, you are logged out and cannot log back in for a configurable cooldown period.

02
Reality Check Reminders

Configure periodic on-screen pop-up notifications at intervals of your choice — every 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Each reality check displays your current session duration, net win/loss for the session, and a prompt to continue or end your session. This tool keeps your gambling time and expenditure visible throughout play.

03
Cooling-Off Period

A cooling-off period temporarily restricts your access to the hm999 platform for a defined time — available in durations of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Account closure or self-exclusion requests made during this period are still processed immediately.

04
Take a Break

The "Take a Break" feature allows you to pause your account for a short period — from 1 day to 6 weeks — with a single click. Unlike cooling-off, this feature is designed for short-term planned breaks rather than crisis intervention. Your account, balance, and history are fully preserved and accessible when the break period ends.

05
Login Frequency Monitoring

hm999 automatically tracks your login frequency and cumulative daily session duration. If your usage significantly exceeds your established session limits or previous patterns, our responsible gaming system may send you an account wellness notification with guidance on how to use our self-management tools.

Session Tool Quick Reference
Session Time Limit 15 min – 8 hrs. Auto-logout enforced. 5-min pre-warning.
Reality Check Pop-up every 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes with session stats.
Cooling-Off Period 24 hrs, 7 days, or 30 days. No login or deposits during period.
Take a Break 1 day to 6 weeks. Account and balance preserved.
Login Monitoring Automated wellness notifications if usage patterns indicate risk.
How to Access Session Tools All session control settings are available under Account > Responsible Gaming > Session Controls in your hm999 dashboard. Changes to session limits take effect immediately.

Self-Exclusion & Account Closure

If you feel that your gambling is out of control and you need a more decisive intervention, hm999 offers formal self-exclusion — a binding restriction that prevents you from accessing the platform for an extended period or permanently.

What Is Self-Exclusion?

Self-exclusion is a formal agreement between you and hm999 in which we block your account from all gambling activity for a minimum period of your choice. Unlike a cooling-off or break period, self-exclusion is a serious protective measure: during self-exclusion, hm999 will also suppress all marketing communications to you, including bonus offers, promotional emails, and re-engagement messages. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the minimum period has elapsed, even if you request it.

Self-Exclusion Periods Available

hm999 offers the following self-exclusion durations. All periods are binding from the moment the request is confirmed:

Period Type Reversible? Marketing Suppressed?
6 months Short-Term No — must complete full period Yes
1 year Medium-Term No — must complete full period Yes
3 years Long-Term No — must complete full period Yes
5 years Long-Term No — must complete full period Yes
Permanent Permanent No — irreversible Yes

How to Request Self-Exclusion

You can initiate self-exclusion through any of the following channels. Once your request is received and confirmed, your account will be blocked within 24 hours — typically much sooner:

  • Account Dashboard: Navigate to Account > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion and select your preferred exclusion period.
  • Live Chat: Contact our 24/7 support team via the live chat feature on the hm999 platform and request self-exclusion. Our agent will process your request immediately.
  • Email: Send a request to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request", stating your registered username and your preferred exclusion period.

What Happens to Your Balance?

If you have a positive account balance at the time of self-exclusion, hm999 will process a withdrawal of your full available balance to your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or bank account) within 5 business days of your self-exclusion request being confirmed. Pending bets that were placed before the exclusion was applied will be settled normally; winnings from those bets will also be included in your withdrawal.

Returning After Self-Exclusion

Once a self-exclusion period has elapsed, your account will not be automatically reactivated. You must contact hm999 support to request reactivation. Before reactivation is approved, our responsible gaming team will conduct a brief review and may ask you to confirm your intention to resume play. We strongly encourage players returning from self-exclusion to immediately set deposit limits and session controls before making any deposit.

Self-Exclusion Is Binding Once confirmed, self-exclusion cannot be reversed or shortened. hm999 will not respond to requests to lift an exclusion before the chosen period has fully elapsed — this is a deliberate protection, not a limitation.
Marketing Fully Suppressed During any self-exclusion period, hm999 will permanently suppress all marketing, promotional, and bonus communications to your registered email address and phone number. You will not receive re-engagement offers.
Balance Withdrawal Guaranteed Your available balance at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your registered withdrawal method within 5 business days. You will never lose access to your funds by choosing to self-exclude.
