Our Commitment to Player Protection

At citi99, we recognize that while online gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment for the majority of our users, it carries inherent risks and can become problematic for some individuals. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing comprehensive support to ensure that gambling remains a positive, controlled activity rather than a source of harm.

Responsible gaming is not just a regulatory requirement for citi99 – it is a core value that shapes every aspect of our operations. From the design of our platform to the training of our customer support team, we prioritize player wellbeing and take proactive steps to identify and assist users who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties.

This page outlines the tools, resources, and support systems available to help you maintain control over your gambling activity. We encourage all users to familiarize themselves with these features and to use them proactively to set healthy boundaries around their betting and gaming behavior.

Understanding Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means approaching gambling with awareness, control, and realistic expectations. It involves treating gambling as a leisure activity with entertainment value, not as a way to make money, solve financial problems, or escape from stress or emotional difficulties.

Key Principles of Responsible Gaming

Player Protection Tools

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your citi99 account. Once set, limits cannot be increased instantly – there is a 24-hour cooling-off period before increases take effect. Limits can be decreased at any time.

Loss Limits

Control your potential losses by setting limits on how much you can lose over a specific time period. This tool helps prevent the common pattern of chasing losses and ensures you never risk more than you can afford.

Session Time Limits

Set time limits for your gaming sessions and receive notifications when your time is up. This feature helps you maintain awareness of how long you have been playing and prevents extended sessions that can lead to fatigue and poor decision-making.

Take a Break (Time-Out)

Need a short break from gambling? Use our time-out feature to temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During the time-out period, you will not be able to log in or place bets.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break or feel your gambling is becoming problematic, you can self-exclude from citi99 for a minimum period of 6 months or permanently. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.

Reality Checks

Enable reality check notifications to receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These prompts help you maintain awareness and make conscious decisions about whether to continue.

How to Access Player Protection Tools

All responsible gaming tools are easily accessible through your citi99 account dashboard. To set limits or activate protection features:

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of age, income level, or gambling experience. Recognizing the warning signs early is crucial. If you notice any of the following patterns in your own behavior or that of someone close to you, it may be time to seek help:

Self-Assessment Quiz

Answer these questions honestly to assess whether your gambling may be becoming problematic. This is not a diagnostic tool, but it can help you recognize concerning patterns.

1. Have you ever lied to people important to you about how much you gamble?

2. Do you often gamble longer than you originally planned?

3. Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to finance gambling?

4. Do you feel guilty, remorseful, or anxious after gambling?

5. Do you gamble to escape worry, trouble, or boredom?

6. After losing money, do you feel compelled to return as soon as possible to try to win it back?

7. Has your gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or finances?

8. Do you need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel the same excitement?

If You Answered "Yes" to Multiple Questions

If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, your gambling may be developing into a problem. We strongly encourage you to:

  • Use our self-exclusion tool to take a break from gambling
  • Contact our support team to discuss responsible gaming tools
  • Reach out to a professional gambling support organization
  • Talk to someone you trust about your concerns

Accounts found to belong to underage individuals are immediately suspended, and all funds are forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
