Player Wellbeing — pu99 Platform
pu99 Responsible Gaming
Gaming should be fun, not a source of stress. pu99 provides every player with practical tools to stay in control — because your wellbeing matters more than any jackpot.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
pu99 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all players in Bangladesh. We believe that online gaming — whether that is slots, live casino, cricket betting, or crash games — should always be a form of entertainment, undertaken within personal limits and never at the expense of financial stability, personal relationships, or mental wellbeing. This page sets out the tools, policies, and resources pu99 provides to help every registered player stay in control of their gaming activity.
We recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can develop into a problem that affects daily life. pu99 takes this seriously. We provide practical tools that every player can activate directly from their account settings, and our support team is available 24/7 to assist any player who believes their gambling may be becoming problematic. All responsible gaming features on pu99 are free, easy to use, and take effect quickly.
Responsible Gaming Tools at pu99
The following tools are built into the pu99 platform and available to all registered players. You can request any of these tools by contacting our support team, and most can be set directly from your account settings.
How Deposit Limits Work
Deposit limits are one of the most practical tools for keeping your gaming activity within a budget you are comfortable with. pu99 allows you to set a cap on the total amount you can deposit into your account over a defined period. Once your limit is reached for that period, further deposits are declined automatically until the period resets — no matter how much you want to top up your account at the time.
- Daily limit: caps the total amount you can deposit in any single 24-hour calendar day. This is the most immediate control and is ideal if you find yourself making impulsive top-ups late at night after a loss.
- Weekly limit: caps total deposits across a rolling 7-day period. A weekly limit is useful for players who are comfortable with their daily play but want to guard against heavier spending over a longer stretch.
- Monthly limit: caps total deposits across a calendar month. This is the broadest control and is well-suited to players who want to set a firm monthly entertainment budget, similar to how they might budget for any other leisure activity.
- Reducing your limit is instant: any reduction you request takes effect immediately. Increasing your limit is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the new higher limit applies. This is a deliberate friction point designed to prevent impulsive increases during a losing session.
Session Time Limits and Reality Checks
It is easy to lose track of time when playing online games. The immersive nature of slots, live casino tables, and in-play cricket betting markets means that a session intended to last 30 minutes can stretch considerably longer without you noticing. pu99's session time limit tool lets you set a maximum duration per login. When your session limit is reached, the platform will automatically log you out and send you a notification. Re-logging in is not prevented, but the deliberate interruption gives you a moment to decide whether to continue.
Reality checks work alongside session limits. At intervals you choose — 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes — the platform displays a brief on-screen message showing the total time you have been logged in during the current session and your net win or loss position for that session. You can then choose to continue, adjust your play, or log out. The reality check is a gentle nudge, not a hard stop, but research consistently shows that even brief interruptions reduce impulsive behaviour significantly.
Taking a Time-Out
A time-out is a temporary suspension of your pu99 account. It is designed for players who feel they need a short-term break from gaming — perhaps after a run of losses, during a stressful period at work, or simply because they want some distance from the platform for a while. A time-out is different from self-exclusion: it is temporary, with a defined end date that you choose when you request it.
- Time-out durations available: 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, or 6 weeks. You choose the duration when you make the request.
- During a time-out, your account is fully suspended: you cannot log in, deposit, place bets, or access the casino. Pending withdrawals of your Real Money Balance will continue to be processed during the time-out period.
- Time-out requests take effect within 1 hour of submission. You will receive a confirmation via your registered mobile number once the time-out is active.
- At the end of your chosen time-out period, your account is automatically reactivated. If you wish to extend the time-out, contact support at [email protected] before the period ends. If at any point during a time-out you feel that a temporary break is not sufficient and you need a longer or permanent exclusion, you can upgrade to a full self-exclusion request — the team will process this immediately.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most serious responsible gaming measure available on pu99 and is intended for players who have concluded that their gambling has become — or is at serious risk of becoming — a problem. When you self-exclude from pu99, your account is permanently closed for a minimum period of 12 months. During the self-exclusion period, you cannot access the platform, deposit, place bets, or receive any promotional communications from pu99.
To request self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] with the subject line 'Self-Exclusion Request'. Self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours. Your Real Money Balance will be returned to your verified bKash, Nagad, or bank account within 3–5 business days of your request being processed. Bonus Funds are forfeited upon self-exclusion.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look the same, and it does not always involve large sums of money. It is about the relationship a person has with gambling — whether it is causing harm in their life, regardless of the amounts involved. The following self-assessment questions are adapted from internationally recognised problem gambling screening tools. If you answer 'yes' to two or more of these questions, it may be worth taking a break and speaking with someone you trust, or contacting our support team.
Age Verification — 21+ Only
pu99 is strictly an adult gaming platform. Access is permitted only to players who are 21 years of age or older. We enforce this requirement through a mandatory age verification process at registration, which requires all new players to confirm their date of birth and, where age cannot be confirmed from initial registration data, to submit a government-issued ID (National ID card, passport, or birth certificate) before their account can be approved for real-money play.
If pu99 has any reason to suspect that a player may be under 21 — including where a discrepancy is identified between the date of birth provided and other account information — the account will be suspended pending full KYC verification. Any winnings accumulated during a period in which an underage player was active will be forfeited. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use device-level parental controls to prevent access to online gaming platforms by anyone under 21 in their household.
Tips for Playing Safely
Whether you are a new player or have been with pu99 for some time, the following practical habits will help keep your gaming enjoyable and sustainable over the long term. These are not rules imposed by pu99 — they are suggestions from responsible gaming research, adapted for players in Bangladesh.
- Treat gaming as entertainment, not income: approach every session as you would a cinema trip or a dinner out — money spent on entertainment, not an investment you expect to profit from. Slots, live casino, and crash games are games of chance; the house always has an edge over time.
- Only play with money you can afford to lose: never deposit an amount whose loss would affect your ability to pay rent, utility bills, school fees, or other essential obligations. Use your deposit limit to enforce this boundary automatically.
- Never chase losses: if you have reached your session budget and lost it, log out. The instinct to place one more bet to recover a loss is one of the primary drivers of problem gambling. Your deposit and session limits are there to help you honour this rule automatically.
- Take regular breaks: stand up, get water, step outside for a few minutes between sessions. Physical breaks reset your decision-making state and make it easier to evaluate whether you want to continue or stop.
- Do not play when you are emotionally distressed: gambling under stress, grief, or emotional upset dramatically increases the likelihood of poor decision-making. If you have had a difficult day, consider whether gaming is genuinely the right way to unwind, or whether rest, exercise, or time with family would serve you better.
- Balance gaming with other activities: gaming is one leisure activity among many. Maintain your usual routines — time with friends and family in Dhaka or your home city, exercise, hobbies, and rest. A balanced life makes it much easier to keep gaming in perspective.
