Gaming is for entertainment — not as a source of income. Always play within your means and seek help when you need it.

What does responsible gaming mean?

Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming as a controlled, mindful, and fun form of entertainment. 9bd believes that gaming is truly enjoyable only when players are aware of their own limits. Responsible gaming goes beyond financial limits — it also covers time, emotions, and mental well-being.

Every feature and every game on our platform is designed with this principle in mind. 9bd's responsible gaming tools are simple to use and completely free. You don't have to answer to anyone — these tools exist entirely for your own benefit.

9bd's responsible gaming program is built on guidelines from the world's leading gaming regulators. Our goal is simple — every player should be able to play safely, happily, and with confidence.

Signs of Problem Gaming

Problem gaming often develops gradually. The signs below may indicate that help is needed. If you notice any of them in yourself or someone close to you, don't wait — take action.

Repeatedly playing to recover lost money and placing bigger bets with the mindset of "I'll win this time."

Prioritizing gaming over family, friends, or work, and neglecting your everyday responsibilities.

Being unable to stop gaming despite trying, or feeling restless and irritable when you do stop.

Borrowing money, draining savings, or obtaining funds through dishonest means to cover gaming expenses.

Gaming is affecting your sleep, appetite, or physical health.

Hiding your gaming activity, downplaying how much you spend, or keeping your habits secret from the people close to you.

If you recognise two or more of the above signs in yourself, contact our support team right away or activate self-exclusion. Asking for help is not weakness — it takes real courage.

After a loss, do you feel the urge to chase your losses by betting more?

Has gaming caused arguments or tension with family or friends?

Are you spending so much time gaming that you're neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities?

Have you made the decision to quit gaming but keep coming back?

Have you ever borrowed money or dipped into your savings to cover gaming costs?

If you answered "Yes" to 3 or more questions, set up self-exclusion or a deposit limit today. Remember — acting early is always the smartest move.

Tips for Building Healthy Gaming Habits

Responsible gaming means keeping gaming a small, enjoyable part of your life. Practise the habits below to make sure it always stays that way.

  • Set a budget before you play and stick to it.
  • Think of gaming as entertainment, not a way to make money.
  • Use a timer — take a 10-minute break every hour.
  • Don't play when you're drunk or under emotional stress.
  • Accept losses when they happen — that's a normal part of playing.
  • Spend quality time with family and friends — don't let gaming get in the way of your relationships.
  • Check your gaming activity report on a regular basis.
  • Take a break whenever you feel you need one — don't wait.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Limits

1
Set a Monthly Entertainment Budget

Allocate no more than 10% of your monthly disposable income — what's left after all essential expenses — to gaming. Only play with money you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

2
Set a Deposit Limit on Your Account

Log in and go to Settings → Responsible Gaming, then activate your deposit limit. It takes effect immediately.

3
Enable Session Timer

Set a maximum time limit for each session. You'll get an automatic notification when your time is up.

4
Review Your Activity Regularly

Review your gaming report once a week. If you're overspending or playing too long, tighten your limits further.

5
Take a Break When You Need To

If you're feeling overwhelmed during a particular week, activate a cooling-off period. It's not a sign of weakness — it's the smart move.
