Teta9 Responsible Gaming — Build Safe & Healthy Gaming Habits

1 What Is Responsible Gaming and Why It Matters

At teta9, we believe gaming should be an enjoyable part of life — not a burden. Responsible gaming means staying in control of your time, money, and mental wellbeing while still having fun. It's not about restrictions; it's about building a healthier habit.

Online gaming is growing rapidly in Bangladesh, with millions of players enjoying platforms like teta9 every day for entertainment. For a small number of people, however, gaming can develop into a habit that becomes difficult to control. That's why responsible gaming is teta9's highest priority.

The foundation of our responsible gaming policy is simple — you stay in control at all times. teta9 gives you every tool and feature you need to maintain that control, from setting limits to self-exclusion. We're with you every step of the way.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

• Gaming is always for entertainment, never as a source of income.
• Never chase losses by playing more to win back what you've lost.
• Never spend more than the budget you've set in advance.
• Always prioritize family, work, or studies over gaming.
• Avoid using gaming as a way to cope with stress or sadness.
• Knowing your limits and sticking to them.

4 Tips for Healthy and Enjoyable Gaming

Responsible gaming isn't about quitting — it's about building healthy habits that keep gaming enjoyable for the long run. These tips are for anyone who wants gaming to stay a source of fun, not stress.

• Set a budget first: Decide how much you're willing to spend before you start playing, and stick to that limit no matter what.
• Set a time limit: Set a timer. When it goes off, step away from the screen and switch to something else.
• Take a Break: Take at least a 10–15 minute break every hour. Get up, stretch, walk around, and drink some water.
• Never Play on Borrowed Money: Never use borrowed money or funds set aside for essential expenses on gaming.
• Don't Play Under the Influence: Avoid gaming when you're feeling stressed, upset, or not in the right headspace.
• Accept losses gracefully: Winning and losing are both part of every game. Accepting a loss is the mark of a mature gamer.
• Keep other hobbies: Make time for other hobbies and activities outside of gaming that bring you joy.
• Spend Time with Family: Gaming can never replace the bonds you share with your family.

5 Self-Exclusion — Take a complete break whenever you need one

Self-exclusion is a measure that prevents you from accessing teta9 for a set period or permanently. It's not a sign of weakness — it's a bold step that shows you're taking control of your own life.

Self-Exclusion Type

• Short-Term Break (Cooling Off): Temporarily suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks.
• Medium-Term Self-Exclusion: Your account access will be suspended for between 1 month and 6 months.
• Long-Term Self-Exclusion: Complete exclusion for 6 months to 5 years.
• Permanent Self-Exclusion: Your account will be permanently closed and cannot be reopened.

How to Self-Exclude

Go to the "Self Exclusion" section in your account settings and choose your preferred duration. If you need help, contact our support@teta9.net— we'll complete the process promptly.

6 Minor Protection

Teta9 strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from gaming on our platform. This is both an ethical commitment and a licensing requirement. We believe protecting children and young people is one of society's most important responsibilities.

How We Protect Minors

• Age is verified at registration, and identity documents are requested later through the KYC process.
• Immediate verification is required for any suspicious account activity.
• No financial transactions are processed without age verification.

Advice for Parents

If you have children or teenagers at home, we encourage you to take the following steps:

• Use parental control software on computers and mobile devices.
• Monitor browser history regularly.
• Have open, honest conversations with your child about the risks of online gaming.
• Keep your account and password secure and out of your child's reach.
• If you have any concerns, contact us directly at support@teta9.net.
