What is Responsible Gaming and why does it matter?
Online gaming is a form of entertainment — it is never a substitute for income or a way out of financial difficulty. VQ999 believes that Responsible Gaming is not just a rule; it's a way of life. We are committed to ensuring every player on our platform can enjoy games safely, healthily, and with genuine fun.
Online gaming is growing rapidly in popularity across Bangladesh — and with that growth comes a rising risk of addiction and financial harm. VQ999 wants you to stay in control at all times. Following responsible gaming practices can make gaming a positive part of your life, but crossing the line can turn it into something harmful.
VQ999 Responsible Gaming Policy
VQ999 follows international Responsible Gaming standards. The following core principles are strictly upheld on our platform:
- Only individuals aged 18 or older may register for an account on VQ999.
- Always treat gaming as entertainment — not a source of income.
- Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much BDT you spend.
- Never play with borrowed money or funds you need for everyday living.
- Avoid chasing losses by playing recklessly to try to recover money you have lost.
- Gaming will never take priority over family, work, or studies.
- Avoid playing when you are feeling stressed, sad, or angry.
- Take regular breaks and get enough rest.
Our Responsible Gaming Tools
VQ999 helps every user stay in control of their gaming habits. You'll find the following tools in your account settings:
Deposit Limit
Set the maximum amount of BDT you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Limits take effect immediately once set; any increase requires a 24-hour waiting period.
Loss Limit
Set a limit on how much you are willing to lose within a given period. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically stop your play.
Session Time Limit
Decide in advance how many hours you will play in a session. You will receive a notification when the time is up, and the session will end automatically.
Cool-Off Period
If you need a break of a few days or weeks, activate Cool-Off mode. You will not be able to log in to your account during this period.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a long-term break, you can apply for Self-Exclusion from 6 months up to 5 years. Your account will be completely inactive for the entire duration.
Reality Check
At set intervals, a message will appear on screen showing your play time and spending — so you always stay aware.
