What does responsible gaming mean?

Responsible gaming means treating gaming as a controlled form of entertainment — not as a source of income or an escape from problems. At pq999, we want every member to play in a healthy state of mind, without harming their family life or professional responsibilities.

Many people in Bangladesh start gaming casually, but over time their spending and hours can quietly add up. To prevent this, pq999 provides a range of responsible gaming tools and guidelines.

Remember — there's no guarantee you'll recover money lost through gaming. Only bet what you can afford to lose. Have fun, but stay within your limits.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

  • Gaming is for entertainment, not a source of income
  • Never spend beyond your set budget
  • Don't chase losses by betting more out of anger or frustration
  • Don't let gaming disrupt your everyday life
  • Don't let gaming harm your relationships with family and friends
pq999 is strictly for users aged 18 and above. Age verification is mandatory when opening an account.

Set your own limits

The most effective approach to responsible gaming is setting your own limits in advance. In your pq999 account settings, you can easily configure the following limits:

Limit type Description When changes take effect
Deposit Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly maximum deposit limit Takes effect immediately
Bet limits Maximum bet amount per round Takes effect immediately
Loss limit Maximum loss limit over a set period Takes effect immediately
Session time limit Maximum continuous gaming session duration From the next session
Cooling-Off 1 to 90-day break Immediate and cannot be increased
Self-exclusion 6 months to permanent account closure Immediate and irreversible
Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit takes effect after 7 days — this is in place for your own protection.

Warning signs of problem gaming

It is not always easy to tell when gaming is getting out of control. Watch out for these warning signs:

Placing bigger bets to recover lost money

Lying to family or friends about your gaming

Gaming with borrowed money beyond your set budget

Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming

Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities to spend time gaming

Repeatedly trying to cut back on gaming but failing each time

Gaming is affecting your sleep, eating, or daily health

Family or loved ones have expressed concern about your gaming

If you notice any of these signs, take a break immediately and contact pq999 Support. We are always ready to help, without judgment.

Check yourself

Ask yourself the questions below. If you answer "Yes" to more than three, it may be time to seek help.

1

Have you spent more than your planned gaming budget in the past month?

2

Have you tried to stop gaming but found yourself unable to?

3

Do you feel restless or irritable when you are not gaming?

4

Have you been placing bigger bets to try to win back what you've lost?

5

Have you been hiding your gaming from family or friends?

6

Has gaming had a negative impact on your work, studies, or relationships?

7

Have you taken on debt or dipped into savings to fund your gaming?

This list is not a professional diagnosis — it is for awareness only. If you feel you need help, please reach out to pq999 Support or a professional counselor.

Pq999 Safety Tools

We believe technology can be a powerful tool for responsible gaming. pq999 puts these effective tools in your hands:

Where your limits are displayed (example)

Monthly deposit usage BDT 3,500 / 5,000
Weekly loss limit BDT 1,800 / 2,000
Daily session time 45 / 60 minutes

Reality check

A notification appears on your gaming screen at regular intervals — reminding you how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. This feature can be enabled from your account settings.

Account History

You can view your complete gaming history, deposit, and withdrawal records at any time. This helps you keep track of your own spending.

Review your account history once a week. It's a small habit that can make a big difference.

7 ways to build healthy gaming habits

Responsible gaming is not just about knowing the rules — it is about building good habits. Follow these steps to keep gaming fun at all times:

1

Set a Budget First

Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start. Once you have lost that amount, stop — never chase your losses.

2

Set a time limit

Decide how long you'll play before each session. Set an alarm on your phone or use pq999's session timer.

3

Take a Break After Winning

Stop and celebrate after a big win. Continuing to play right after a win often puts everything you've gained at risk.

4

Keep Other Hobbies

Do not let gaming be your only pastime. Reading, sports, spending time with friends — building these habits helps prevent gaming addiction.

5

Don't game when you're stressed

Avoid gaming when you're angry, sad, or frustrated. Your judgment suffers in those states, and you're more likely to lose more than you intended.

6

No gaming while drinking or under the influence

Drugs and alcohol impair your judgment. Avoid gaming when you're under their influence.

7

Tell someone you trust

Letting a family member or trusted friend know about your gaming habits creates accountability and helps identify problems early.

On Responsible Gaming FAQ

Once a fixed-term self-exclusion (e.g. 6 months or 1 year) expires, your account can be reactivated. However, a permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. Any attempt to open a new account during an active self-exclusion period will be rejected.

Yes, deposit limit reductions take effect immediately. However, increasing your limit requires a 7-day waiting period — this is in place for your protection. The delay ensures that limit changes are made thoughtfully, rather than on impulse.

Not directly, but if your family is concerned, they can reach out to our support team. We can assess the situation and take appropriate action — all while respecting account security and privacy.

Cooling-Off is a temporary break — your account is inactive for 1 to 90 days. It is designed for a short pause. Self-Exclusion is longer-term — from 6 months up to permanent. During Self-Exclusion, bonus offers and promotional communications are also suspended.

Recovery time varies from person to person and depends on the severity of the addiction, the level of support available, and the individual's own commitment. With professional help and family support, many people see significant improvement within a few months. The most important step is the first one — asking for help.

After logging in, go to your account settings and find the "Responsible Gaming" section. From there, select your reality check interval — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. Once enabled, pop-up notifications will appear automatically during your gaming session.
