Play Smart, Stay Safe with joya9 com

1 18+ Age Restriction Policy

joya9 com operates an absolute minimum age policy of 18 years. This means that no person under the age of 18 may open an account, deposit funds, place bets, or play any game on the joya9 com platform — regardless of whether they reside in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, or any other city or district in Bangladesh.

During the registration process, every new player is required to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older by ticking a mandatory declaration checkbox. This declaration is legally binding and forms part of the joya9 com Terms & Conditions. Where our automated systems or our support team identify any reason to question a player's age, the account will be suspended immediately pending manual identity verification.

Age Verification Process

joya9 com uses a multi-step Know Your Customer (KYC) process to verify player identity and age. Players are required to submit at least one of the following government-issued documents:

• National ID Card (NID) — issued by the Bangladesh Election Commission
• Passport — valid Bangladesh or international passport showing date of birth
• Birth Certificate — official Bangladesh government-issued birth certificate
• Driving Licence — issued by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA)

Until age verification is complete, withdrawal requests may be placed on hold. joya9 com recommends completing KYC verification immediately after registration to avoid any delays in accessing winnings.

Protecting Minors

If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing joya9 com, we strongly recommend installing parental control and internet filtering software on shared devices. If you believe a minor has successfully registered an account, contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and, if confirmed, close the account and return any deposited funds without delay.

2 Recognising Problem Gambling Signs

Gambling is intended to be an enjoyable leisure activity. For the vast majority of joya9 com players across Bangladesh, it remains exactly that. However, for a small number of people, gambling can become problematic — and recognising the early warning signs is the first and most important step toward getting back in control.

joya9 com encourages all players to review the following checklist honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we recommend reaching out to our support team or taking a voluntary time-out from the platform.

• Do you find yourself spending more money on gambling than you originally intended?
• Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
• Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, boredom, or personal problems?
• Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used bill money to fund your gambling?
• Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling?
• Have you lied to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling?
• Do you chase losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to recover money you have lost?
• Has gambling negatively affected your work, studies, or personal relationships?
• Do you feel a need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to feel the same level of excitement?

3 Player Protection Tools Overview

joya9 com provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that every registered player can access free of charge at any time from the "Responsible Gaming" section of their account dashboard. These tools are designed to give you meaningful control over your gambling activity without any friction, cost, or judgment.

4 Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on joya9 com. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended for the duration you select. You will be unable to log in, deposit, place bets, or access any games on the platform for the entire exclusion period.

Available Self-Exclusion Periods

• 6 months — recommended as a first step for players who feel they need an extended break
• 1 year — for players who want a longer period to reassess their relationship with gambling
• 3 years — for players dealing with significant problem gambling concerns
• Permanent (indefinite) — for players who wish to stop gambling on joya9 com forever

How to Activate Self-Exclusion

What Happens During Self-Exclusion

• Your account is locked — login attempts will be rejected.
• All marketing and promotional communications from joya9 com are suspended for the duration.
• Any pending bets placed before the exclusion was activated will be settled normally; winnings will be held in your account balance.
• If you attempt to create a new account during your exclusion period, it will be identified and closed by our compliance team.
• Existing account balance is preserved and accessible once the exclusion period has ended (for non-permanent exclusions).

5 Deposit & Loss Limits

Setting a deposit or loss limit is one of the most practical steps you can take to keep gambling within a budget you are genuinely comfortable with. joya9 com allows players to configure these limits independently for daily, weekly, and monthly periods, giving you fine-grained control over your spending.

Deposit Limits

A deposit limit places a ceiling on the total amount you can transfer into your joya9 com account within the specified time period. Deposits via bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, and all other supported Bangladesh banking channels all count toward your deposit limit total.

• Daily deposit limit: Applies to a rolling 24-hour window from the time the limit is set.
• Weekly deposit limit: Applies to a rolling 7-day window.
• Monthly deposit limit: Applies to a rolling 30-day window.

Important rule: Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a deposit limit — or removing one entirely — is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period. This delay is intentional: it gives you time to reconsider the decision rather than acting impulsively.

Loss Limits

A loss limit caps the net amount you can lose during a defined period. Once your net losses reach the limit you have set, you will be unable to place further bets until the period resets or you contact support to request a review. Loss limits apply across all game types on joya9 com, including slots, cricket betting, live casino, Mini Baccarat, and Mines.

Wager Limits

For players who prefer to control spending at the individual bet level, joya9 com also allows you to set a maximum stake per single wager. This is particularly useful for high-variance games like slots and Mines, where individual bet amounts can accumulate quickly during an extended session.

6 Time-Out Features

A time-out is a short-term voluntary break from gambling on joya9 com. It is less severe than self-exclusion and is designed for players who feel they need a brief pause to reset — for example, after a stressful session, a significant loss, or simply because life has become too busy to gamble responsibly.

Available Time-Out Durations

• 24 hours — ideal for cooling off after an impulsive session
• 3 days — a weekend or short holiday break from the platform
• 1 week — a meaningful pause that allows perspective to return
• 2 weeks — for players who want to evaluate whether gambling is taking too much of their time or budget
• 6 weeks — the maximum short-term time-out; players considering anything longer should use the self-exclusion tool instead

Session Time Reminders & Reality Checks

In addition to manual time-outs, joya9 com provides two automated tools to help you stay aware of your play duration:

• Session timer: A visible clock displayed during your active gaming session, showing exactly how long you have been playing continuously.
• Reality check notifications: Configurable pop-up alerts that appear at your chosen interval (every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours) showing your current session duration, total amount wagered, and net win/loss for the session. You must actively dismiss the alert to continue playing — this is intentional.

These prompts are not designed to be annoying — they are designed to keep you informed. Research consistently shows that players who are regularly reminded of their session length and spending make more mindful decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

Activating a Time-Out

Time-outs can be activated instantly from the "Responsible Gaming" section of your account dashboard. Unlike self-exclusion, a time-out cannot be reversed before it expires — this ensures the break serves its purpose. Once the time-out period ends, your account is automatically reactivated and you will receive a notification to that effect.

7 Seeking Help & Support

Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem in your life — or in the life of someone you care about — joya9 com encourages you to take action today. The sooner support is sought, the easier recovery becomes.

Contact joya9 com Directly

Our responsible gaming support team can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Support". All communications are treated with strict confidentiality. Our team can help you:

• Activate self-exclusion or time-out tools on your behalf if you cannot access your account
• Review and apply deposit or loss limits to your account
• Provide guidance on problem gambling resources available in Bangladesh
• Process an account closure request and ensure your remaining balance is returned safely
• Refer you to professional counselling or support services

Talking to Someone You Trust

Sometimes the most important step is simply talking to a friend, family member, or colleague about how you are feeling. Problem gambling often develops in isolation — the act of sharing your concerns with someone you trust can be a powerful first step. If you are based in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or elsewhere in Bangladesh, many community organisations and health centres can provide referrals to counselling services specialising in behavioural addictions.

Responsible Gaming Guidance for Friends and Family

If you are concerned about a loved one's gambling behaviour, you do not have to wait for them to seek help on their own. You can:

• Speak to them calmly and without judgment about the changes you have noticed in their behaviour.
• Encourage them to use joya9 com's self-exclusion or time-out tools, or offer to help them navigate the account settings.
• Contact joya9 com's support team to enquire about steps that can be taken to restrict access to an account you believe belongs to a vulnerable person.
• Seek support for yourself — supporting a loved one with a gambling problem can be emotionally taxing, and you deserve help too.

General Responsible Gaming Guidelines

• Set a gambling budget before you start and stick to it — treat it like the cost of any other form of entertainment.
• Never gamble with money allocated for rent, food, utilities, or other essential expenses.
• Never chase losses — accept that losses are part of the game and walk away when your budget is spent.
• Take regular breaks during long gaming sessions, particularly when playing fast-paced games like slots or Mines.
• Avoid gambling when you are under the influence of alcohol, medication, or when you are emotionally distressed.
• Keep track of how much time and money you spend gambling each week using the activity history in your joya9 com account.
• Balance gambling with other leisure activities — sports, family time, hobbies — so it never becomes your only form of entertainment.
