Our Commitment to Player Safety
899ok operates with a clear principle: gambling is entertainment, not a way to earn income. Every feature we build — from the lobby to the cashier — is designed so that players stay in control of time and money spent on the platform.
Responsible gaming at 899ok is not a checkbox. We train our support team to flag unusual patterns, offer voluntary limit tools inside every player account, and provide clear routes to professional help when a player needs it. If you ever feel that gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, please use the tools described on this page right away.
Age Restriction Policy
You must be at least 18 years old to register and play at 899ok. This applies to all players in Bangladesh and everywhere else we accept registrations. We verify age during the KYC process, which is required before your first withdrawal.
Acceptable identity documents for age verification are:
- National ID Card (NID) — issued by the Bangladesh Election Commission
- Passport — any valid international passport
- Driving Licence — issued by BRTA
Our compliance team reviews KYC submissions within 6 hours on average. Any account where we cannot confirm the player is 18 or older will be suspended until documents are provided. Winnings earned on a suspended account cannot be withdrawn until verification is complete.
Is Your Play Still Recreational?
Gambling problems do not always look obvious from the inside. The questions below are adapted from standard screening tools used by gaming welfare organisations. Answer honestly — nobody sees your answers.
Quick Self-Check
- Do you spend more than you planned to in a single session, regularly?
- Do you return to gambling the next day to try to win back what you lost?
- Have you borrowed money or sold something to fund gambling?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut back?
- Has gambling caused problems with family, work, or your finances in the last month?
- Do you hide your gambling activity from people close to you?
If you answered "yes" to two or more questions, it is worth taking a break and reviewing the tools below. Answering "yes" to three or more is a strong signal to seek professional support.
Player Protection Tools
Every 899ok account comes with built-in controls. You can activate any of these through 24/7 Live Chat — tell the agent which tool you want and it takes effect within one hour.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked for that period. You can lower a limit immediately. Raising a limit takes 48 hours to come into effect — this cooling-off period is intentional, so an impulsive decision cannot undo a protective choice straight away.
Session Time Reminders
Ask support to set a session reminder at any interval (for example, every 60 minutes). You receive a notification in the lobby showing how long you have been playing. The reminder does not close your session — it just keeps you aware of time passing. Many players find this simple nudge enough to stay in control.
Reality Check
A reality check is a summary message that shows your net result for the current session — deposits made, winnings received, and current balance — at an interval you choose. It is a factual snapshot, not a prompt to continue or stop. Contact Live Chat to activate it.
Cool-Off Period
A cool-off is a short voluntary break: 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off your account is fully accessible after the period ends — no paperwork required to resume. You cannot shorten a cool-off once it starts. Use this if you feel you need a pause without committing to a longer exclusion.

Self-Exclusion at 899ok: How It Works
Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available. It closes your 899ok account for a minimum of 6 months. During self-exclusion you cannot log in, deposit, or claim bonuses. Any pending withdrawal at the time of exclusion will be processed normally to your registered bKash or Nagad account.
How to Request Self-Exclusion
- Contact 24/7 Live Chat and state clearly that you want self-exclusion.
- Confirm the period: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent.
- The agent closes your account within one hour and sends a confirmation message.
- You cannot reverse self-exclusion until the chosen period has fully elapsed. After it ends, you must contact support to request reactivation — the account does not reopen automatically.
Permanent exclusion cannot be reversed. If you choose "permanent," the account is closed indefinitely and reactivation is not possible under any circumstances. Only choose this option if you are certain.
Keeping Minors Safe
If you share a device with family members under 18, please take steps to prevent them from accessing 899ok. Practical steps include:
- Log out of your account after every session — do not use "remember me" on shared devices.
- Use a device PIN or fingerprint lock that only you know.
- Install third-party parental-control software on shared computers or phones. Options available for Android (which is the most common platform in Bangladesh) include Google Family Link and built-in parental controls in most Android 7.0+ devices.
- Never share your 899ok password with anyone, including family members.
If you suspect a minor has accessed a gambling account — whether yours or someone else's — contact our Live Chat immediately. We will freeze the account and investigate.
Where to Get Help
Our support team is not qualified to provide counselling, but we can listen, apply protective tools immediately, and point you toward professional help. For structured support, the following types of resources are available:
- National Mental Health Helpline (Bangladesh) — Kaan Pete Roi offers confidential telephone counselling in Bangladesh.
- Gamblers Anonymous — a peer-support programme with a 12-step recovery framework, available online globally.
- BeGambleAware — an international organisation with self-help resources, treatment finders, and live chat support.
- GamCare — provides a helpline, online counselling, and forum-based peer support.
Reaching out is not a sign of weakness. These services are free and confidential. 899ok will never penalise a player for using them or for requesting account restrictions.
