🛡️ Safe Play Commitment
Responsible Gaming — Play Smart, Stay in Control
qa9 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable entertainment environment for all Bangladeshi players. We believe gambling should always be fun — never a source of financial or personal harm.
🎯 Our Commitment to Safe Gambling
At qa9, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We understand that for the vast majority of our players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, and across Bangladesh, gambling is an enjoyable leisure activity. However, we also recognise that for a small number of individuals, gambling can become problematic. Our role is to provide the right tools, information, and support so that every player can make informed decisions about their gambling behaviour.
This page explains the practical tools available to you on qa9, the warning signs of problem gambling to watch out for, and the steps you can take to get help — whether from our own support team or from external resources. We encourage every player to read this page carefully and to make use of the available controls at any time.
Gambling at qa9 should be treated as entertainment — not as a way to earn income, recover debts, or solve financial problems. Always set a budget before you play, and stick to it. Never chase losses.
🔞 Minimum Age Requirement
qa9 takes underage gambling extremely seriously. We apply identity verification checks during the registration and withdrawal process to confirm the age and identity of all players. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended, all deposits returned where possible, and the personal data of the minor deleted from our systems in line with our Privacy Policy.
For parents and guardians: If you believe that a minor in your household has accessed qa9, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] or via Telegram at @qa9support. We will act swiftly to close the account and provide any necessary assistance.
We strongly recommend that parents and guardians use internet filtering software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling sites. Tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in parental controls on Android and iOS devices can help restrict access at the device level.
🔧 Responsible Gaming Tools
qa9 provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that you can activate at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. These tools are designed to give you full control over your gambling activity.
Log in to your qa9 account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. All limits and exclusions take effect immediately. Increases to existing limits include a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before they become active, whereas reductions take effect instantly.
✅ Responsible Gaming Principles
⚠️ Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious to the person experiencing it. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful. If you recognise several of these in your own behaviour, please reach out to our support team or a professional counselling service.
- Spending more than you can afford: Regularly depositing amounts that exceed your entertainment budget, or using money set aside for essential expenses.
- Chasing losses: Continuing to play — or increasing bet sizes — in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
- Preoccupation with gambling: Thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day, planning your next session during other activities, or feeling restless when unable to play.
- Hiding gambling from others: Being secretive about the amount of time or money you spend gambling, or lying to family members about your activity.
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, studies, or family commitments because of gambling, or gambling instead of meeting important obligations.
- Gambling to escape problems: Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult life circumstances rather than addressing those issues directly.
- Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from friends and family specifically to fund gambling activity.
- Failed attempts to stop: Repeatedly trying to cut down or stop gambling but finding yourself unable to do so despite genuine effort.
Please stop playing immediately and contact qa9 support to activate self-exclusion. You can reach us at [email protected] or Telegram @qa9support — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6).
🚫 How to Self-Exclude from qa9
Self-exclusion is a powerful tool that allows you to block yourself from the qa9 platform for an extended period. Once activated, your account is immediately locked — you will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits. Any promotional emails will also be suppressed. Here is how to request self-exclusion:
- Contact Support: Email [email protected] or message @qa9support on Telegram with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".
- Provide Your Account Details: Include your registered username or email address so our team can locate and lock your account without delay.
- Choose Your Exclusion Period: Select from a minimum of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. We recommend erring on the side of a longer period.
- Confirmation: Our support team will confirm account suspension within 24 hours. Your account will be locked immediately upon confirmation.
- Cooling Period Before Reinstatement: When your chosen exclusion period expires, reinstatement requires a deliberate written request and a minimum 7-day cooling period — it is not automatic.
We take self-exclusion requests with the utmost seriousness. qa9 staff are trained to handle these requests with sensitivity and without judgment. Your request will never be questioned or delayed.
📞 Getting Help and Support
If you or someone you care about is struggling with problem gambling, reaching out is the most important step. qa9's own support team is always available, but we also encourage players to seek guidance from professional counselling services where appropriate.
