bd9 Guide to Responsible Gaming
Sports betting and casino gaming should be fun — not stressful. bd9 believes every player can make their own decisions, and we provide all the tools needed to support those decisions.
Why Responsible Gaming Matters
Online betting and casino games are a form of entertainment for many people. However, for some, it can gradually get out of control. bd9 wants you to always play with enjoyment, safely and with awareness.
Responsible gaming means keeping to your budget, respecting time limits and seeking help when needed. Read our Terms and Conditions to understand how bd9 has built its policies to protect players.
Betting should always be for entertainment — not as a source of income. Placing bigger and bigger bets in an attempt to recover lost money is a dangerous habit. If you ever feel that gaming is having a negative effect on your life, use bd9's self-limit or self-exclusion feature.
Detailed answers to questions about setting limits and taking account breaks are available in our FAQ section.
bd9 strictly prohibits anyone under 21 from opening an account or placing bets. Parents who want to control minors' online activity can contact our 24/7 support team.

We are committed to keeping every player safe. Limit-setting, self-exclusion and support features are available and accessible to all.

Warning Signs
If the signs below appear, it means betting is becoming a problem for you. Assess yourself honestly.
- You keep placing bets in the hope of recovering lost money, and each time you bet more.
- You have started taking money from daily expenses — food, rent or household costs — to fund betting.
- You are hiding your betting activity from family or friends, or lying about it.
- You have tried to stop betting but keep failing.
- You feel restless, irritable or anxious when you are not betting.
- You are neglecting work, studies or family responsibilities to spend time gaming.
- You are betting with borrowed money or by dipping into your savings.
- Betting is causing problems with your sleep, eating or mental health.
If you notice one or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, do not delay in seeking help. The first step to addressing a problem is acknowledging it — that is not weakness, it is courage.

Tips for Healthy Betting Habits
Set a Budget First
Decide in advance how much money you can spend on betting each week or month — and never exceed that limit. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose.
Play With a Time Limit
Set an alarm on your phone or watch. Playing for long stretches in one go reduces your ability to make good decisions and increases the risk of losing more money.
Do Not Play Under the Influence or When Stressed
Betting when stressed, anxious or under the influence of alcohol greatly increases the chance of making poor decisions. Avoid playing in those situations.
Spend Time on Other Activities
Betting should not be the centre of your life. Regularly spending time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies or exercising helps maintain a healthy mental balance.
