Our Commitment to Safe Play

kg89 operates as Bangladesh's trusted online casino and sports betting platform, and with that position comes a genuine responsibility to protect the players who choose to use our services. Responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox for kg89 — it is a foundational principle that shapes how we design our platform, how we communicate with players, and how we respond when someone signals that they need help.

We recognise that gambling, when approached without care, can become harmful. The vast majority of players who enjoy cricket betting, live casino games, and slots on kg89 do so recreationally and without any negative consequences. However, a minority of players may develop patterns of behaviour that cause financial, emotional, or social harm. kg89's responsible gaming programme exists to identify those situations early, provide practical tools, and ensure that no player ever feels alone in addressing a gambling-related problem.

Our commitment encompasses three core pillars. First, prevention — we make responsible gaming tools readily accessible to every player, regardless of whether they have identified a problem. Second, detection — our systems monitor for behavioural patterns associated with problem gambling and trigger proactive outreach where appropriate. Third, support — we make it easy for players to access both internal tools and external professional support services without stigma or delay.

18+ Age Restriction Policy

kg89 operates a strict 18+ age restriction policy across all areas of the platform. This means that every individual who registers an account, makes a deposit, places a bet, or participates in any gaming activity on kg89.ws must be at least 18 years of age at the time of registration. This policy applies to all players in Bangladesh without exception.

How We Verify Age

At the point of registration, all players are required to confirm that they are aged 18 or over. kg89 reserves the right to request documentary proof of age at any stage — including before processing a withdrawal — in the form of a national identity card, passport, or driving licence. Accounts are placed on hold if age verification documents are not provided within a reasonable timeframe of being requested.

Protecting Minors from Access

We encourage all adults who share devices with minors to take additional precautions to prevent underage access to kg89. Practical steps include logging out of your kg89 account after every session, enabling parental control software on shared devices, and keeping your account login credentials strictly private. If you suspect that a minor has accessed or registered on kg89, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always immediately obvious — even to the person experiencing it. Being able to recognise the early warning signs is the first and most important step towards getting help. The signs listed below are commonly associated with gambling behaviour that has moved from recreational to potentially harmful. If you recognise several of these patterns in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to take action using the tools and contacts provided on this page.

Responsible Gaming Tools

kg89 provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools that players can activate immediately, either through their account settings or by contacting our support team at [email protected]. All tools are free, confidential, and take effect without delay when requested. The tools described below are available to every registered player on the platform.

All limit reductions and protective measures (time-out, self-exclusion, promotion opt-out) take effect immediately upon request. Limit increases — such as raising your deposit cap — are subject to a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period before taking effect, giving you time to reconsider. This asymmetric design is intentional: we make it easy to protect yourself and deliberately slower to loosen restrictions.

Deposit and Betting Limits

Setting deposit and betting limits is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling activity within a budget you are comfortable with. kg89 supports limits across three time horizons — daily, weekly, and monthly — and applies them across all payment methods including bKash, Nagad, and Rocket. The table below outlines the default platform limits that apply to all accounts before any personalised limits are set.

Players are encouraged to set personalised limits below the platform defaults that genuinely reflect what they can comfortably afford to spend on gaming each month. A practical approach for players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other major Bangladeshi cities is to set a monthly deposit limit equal to a fixed percentage of their disposable income — never exceeding funds allocated for living expenses, savings, or family obligations.

Limits and Payment Methods

Deposit limits apply cumulatively across all payment methods on your kg89 account. If your daily limit is ৳5,000 and you have deposited ৳3,000 via bKash, you may deposit a further ৳2,000 via Nagad or Rocket before the daily limit is reached — not ৳5,000 on each method. This cumulative design ensures limits are genuinely protective rather than easily circumvented.

Self-Exclusion and Time-Out

When deposit limits and session controls are not sufficient, kg89 offers both temporary time-out and longer-term self-exclusion as stronger protective measures. These tools are designed for players who recognise that they need a more decisive break from the platform to regain control of their gambling behaviour.

Time-Out

A time-out is a temporary suspension of your kg89 account. It is suitable for players who want a short, structured break without committing to a long-term exclusion. During a time-out, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. You will not receive any promotional emails or bonus offers from kg89 for the duration of the time-out period. Available time-out periods are:

• 24 hours — suitable for a single-day cooling-off period.
• 48 hours — suitable for a weekend break.
• 7 days — suitable for a week of reflection.
• 30 days — suitable for a month-long pause.

At the end of the time-out period, your account is automatically reactivated. If you wish to extend the time-out before it expires, contact our support team at [email protected] and the extension will be applied immediately.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a longer-term and more decisive step. When you self-exclude from kg89, your account is fully suspended for the chosen period and cannot be reactivated until that period has expired — regardless of any request made during the exclusion window. Self-exclusion is the right option if you feel that a time-out is insufficient or that you need a firm, irrevocable commitment to stop gambling for an extended period.

Available self-exclusion periods:

• 6 months
• 1 year
• Permanent exclusion — your account is closed and cannot be reopened under any circumstances.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion or Time-Out

1. Contact Support: Send an email to [email protected] from your registered email address. Include your kg89 username and the type of exclusion or time-out you wish to activate.
2. Identity Verification: Our support team will verify your identity to ensure the request is genuine and that the correct account is being actioned.
3. Confirmation: Your time-out or self-exclusion will be activated within one hour of receiving and verifying your request. You will receive a written confirmation to your registered email address.
4. All Channels Suspended: During self-exclusion, you will be removed from all marketing lists and will not be contacted with any promotional materials for the duration of the exclusion period.
5. Reactivation (Time-Out Only): At the end of a time-out period, your account reactivates automatically. For self-exclusion, reactivation requires a separate request at the end of the exclusion period, subject to a 24-hour reflection period before access is restored.

Support Resources and Helplines

kg89 encourages any player who is concerned about their gambling — or who is concerned about someone else's gambling — to seek professional support. External organisations offer free, confidential guidance from trained counsellors who specialise in gambling-related harm. Reaching out to these organisations is a sign of strength, not weakness, and the support available can make a meaningful difference.

Talking to Someone You Trust

If professional services feel like too large a step right now, consider speaking honestly with a trusted family member, close friend, or religious or community leader. In Bangladeshi communities, strong family and social support networks can play an important role in helping someone navigate a difficult period. Sharing what you are experiencing — without shame — is often the first step towards recovery.

Professional Counselling

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing are both evidence-based treatments that have strong track records in addressing problem gambling. These therapies focus on identifying the thought patterns and emotional triggers that drive harmful gambling behaviour and replacing them with healthier responses. If you are based in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, or another major Bangladeshi city, mental health services offering counselling for behavioural issues including problem gambling are increasingly available. Your primary care doctor or a local hospital's mental health department can provide a referral.

Financial Guidance

Problem gambling frequently has a significant financial dimension. If gambling has created debt or financial stress, speaking to a qualified financial counsellor can help you develop a practical plan to stabilise your situation. Many banks operating in Bangladesh — including Dutch-Bangla Bank, BRAC Bank, City Bank, and Islami Bank — have customer support teams that can discuss debt management options in a confidential setting.
