01 What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters
Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming purely as entertainment — where you remain fully in control and gaming never has a negative impact on your financial, mental, or family life. At tq999, responsible gaming is not just a policy; it is part of our culture.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh. tq999 always wants its members to enjoy the experience, but never to let that enjoyment turn into addiction. A responsible gamer knows when to play, how long to play, and when to stop.
Gaming is a form of entertainment — just like watching a film or reading a book. The difference is that money is involved, which calls for a little extra care. tq999 wants every member to play for fun, not just to win, and to enjoy it within their means.
02 Signs of Problematic Gaming
Problematic gaming often develops gradually and can be hard to notice at first. tq999 wants every member to stay self-aware. If you recognise any of the signs below, it may be time to take action.
- Repeatedly playing to recover lost money and a tendency to chase losses.
- Spending beyond your set gaming budget and depositing more than you can afford.
- Spending more time on gaming at the expense of family, friends, or work.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or mentally uneasy when unable to play.
- Lying to or hiding things from family about gaming.
- Taking on debt or borrowing money from others to fund gaming.
- Repeatedly trying and failing to stop gaming.

04 How to Set Limits Correctly
Setting limits on tq999 is simple and entirely in your hands. It doesn't mean you're weak — it means you're a smart, self-aware gamer. Follow the steps below to set your limits correctly.
- Set a Monthly Budget: Start by deciding the maximum amount of BDT you can afford to spend on gaming each month. This should always be a small portion of what remains after your essential expenses.
- Set a Time Limit: Set a daily or weekly time limit for gaming in advance, and take a break once that limit is reached.
- Stop After a Loss: Stop playing for the day once you have reached your loss limit. Chasing losses almost always leads to even greater losses.
- Set a target after a win: Once you hit a target win amount, step away from the game and withdraw your winnings.
- Let Your Family Know: Let a trusted family member know your gaming budget and time limits. This helps keep you accountable.
05 Self-Exclusion & Cooling-Off Period
Sometimes the best decision is to step back for a while. tq999 offers self-exclusion and cooling-off periods to help you take the break you need.
- Short-Term Break (Cooling-Off): Put your account on hold for 24 hours up to 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or make deposits on tq999.
- Long-Term Self-Exclusion: Close your account completely for a period of 6 months to 5 years. No promotional emails will be sent to you during this time.
- Permanent Closure: If you feel you never want to return to tq999, you can submit a request to permanently close your account.
To activate self-exclusion, contact tq999's live chat support or apply directly through your account settings. Once activated, it cannot be reversed before the set period ends.
06 Protection of Minors
Tq999 strictly enforces an 18+ policy. We believe keeping children and teenagers away from gaming is a responsibility shared equally by parents and by us.

- If you use a shared computer or device at home, make sure parental controls are enabled in the browser.
- Keep your tq999 account password away from younger members of your household.
- Use screen time controls and app lock features on mobile devices to prevent children from accessing tq999.
07 Practical Tips for Healthy Gaming
Build these habits as a responsible gamer on tq999 and your gaming experience will always stay enjoyable.
- Decide before you start how long you'll play and how much BDT you'll spend — then stick to that decision.
- Avoid gaming while drinking or under emotional stress. Your judgment and decision-making are significantly impaired in these states.
- Don't make gaming your only form of entertainment. Make time for family, friends, sports, or hobbies.
- Avoid gaming for more than two hours straight each day. Take breaks to get up, walk around, drink some water, and rest your eyes.
- Even during a winning streak, don't suddenly raise your bets. Stay calm and stick to your strategy.
- Avoid gaming right before bed. Gaming late at night can have a negative impact on your mental health and sleep quality.
