Responsible Gaming
at bdqk

At bdqk, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a foundational principle that shapes how we build our platform, train our support staff, and design our player tools. We operate exclusively for adults aged 18 and above, and we firmly believe that every player deserves access to fair, transparent, and safe gambling entertainment.

Gambling at bdqk is designed to be fun. Whether you enjoy placing bets on BPL cricket, spinning the reels on your favourite slot title from Pragmatic Play, or exploring the live casino tables from Evolution Gaming, the experience should remain enjoyable and within your personal comfort zone. The moment gambling stops being entertaining and starts creating financial or emotional strain, it is time to use one of the tools described on this page — or to step away entirely.

bdqk takes a proactive approach to player welfare. Our systems monitor activity patterns and our team is trained to reach out to players who may be showing early signs of problematic behaviour. We take this responsibility seriously, and we encourage all players to engage with the tools and resources available to them.

Our responsible gaming framework is built around four core principles: prevention (age verification and identity checks), control (deposit limits, loss limits, and time controls), intervention (proactive player monitoring and outreach), and support (connecting players with help resources in Bangladesh and internationally).

18+ bdqk is strictly an adults-only platform. All players must be a minimum of 18 years of age to register, deposit funds, or participate in any form of gambling activity on the bdqk platform. This rule is absolute and applies to all players regardless of their location within Bangladesh, including Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Cox's Bazar.

Age verification is conducted at the point of registration through date-of-birth validation. For players who attempt to access withdrawal facilities or whose account raises any flag during our routine compliance reviews, we require formal Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation — including a valid National Identity Card (NID), passport, or driving licence — to confirm that the player meets the minimum age requirement.

Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 18 will be immediately suspended. Any deposits made by an underage player will be returned to the original payment source — bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay — and any winnings generated during the period of underage use will be forfeited. bdqk cooperates fully with any investigation by relevant authorities relating to underage gambling.

bdqk provides every registered player with the ability to set personal deposit limits, loss limits, and wager limits. These controls put you in charge of your own budget and help prevent the common trap of spending beyond your means during an extended gaming session.

Deposit Limit Options

You may set a deposit limit on any of the following time horizons:

• Daily deposit limit — the maximum total amount you can deposit across all payment methods (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, Visa, Mastercard) within a single 24-hour rolling period.
• Weekly deposit limit — the maximum total you can deposit across a rolling 7-day period.
• Monthly deposit limit — the maximum total you can deposit across a rolling 30-day calendar period.

Limits can be set in Bangladeshi Taka (৳) and take effect immediately upon activation. Reducing a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period before the higher limit becomes active — this is a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions made during a losing session.

Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, bdqk allows players to set a maximum net loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once you reach your designated loss limit within the chosen period, the system will prevent further wagers until the period resets. Loss limits are calculated on net losses (deposits minus withdrawals within the period), not on total wager volume.

How to Set Your Limits

• 1
  Log in to your bdqk account

  Access your account via the bdqk Login page and navigate to your Account Settings dashboard.

• 2
  Open the Responsible Gaming section

  Within Account Settings, select the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Controls" tab to view all available limit options.

• 3
  Choose your limit type and amount

  Select daily, weekly, or monthly, enter your desired limit amount in ৳ BDT, and confirm your selection.

• 4
  Confirm and save

  Your limit is activated immediately. You will receive a confirmation notification to your registered mobile number or email address.

If you experience any difficulty setting limits through your account dashboard, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat or at [email protected] and a team member will assist you directly.

Sometimes a player needs a short break — not a permanent exclusion, but a temporary pause to regain perspective. bdqk's time-out feature allows you to deactivate your account for a defined period without permanently closing it. During a time-out, you will be unable to log in, place bets, or make deposits. Any pending withdrawals at the time the time-out is applied will continue to be processed normally.

Available Time-Out Durations

Reality Check Reminders

bdqk's reality check feature sends on-screen notifications during active game sessions at regular intervals — every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 90 minutes, depending on your preference. Each reminder displays your total session duration and net wagering activity, giving you an accurate picture of your play before you decide whether to continue or stop. Reality check reminders can be configured from your account settings or by contacting support.

Self-exclusion is the strongest player-protection tool available at bdqk. When you activate a self-exclusion, your account is fully deactivated for the chosen period. You will not be able to log in, deposit, wager, or access any part of the bdqk platform. bdqk will also cease sending you any promotional or marketing communications for the duration of the exclusion.

Self-exclusion is appropriate for players who recognise that their gambling has become a problem and who want a firm, enforceable break. It is a serious step and bdqk treats it as such — we do not make it easy to undo a self-exclusion, and our team will not attempt to persuade you to reverse your decision.

Self-Exclusion Periods

• 6 months — the minimum self-exclusion period available at bdqk
• 1 year — a full calendar year of enforced account inactivity
• 2 years — an extended exclusion for players with more serious concerns
• 5 years — a long-term exclusion for persistent problem gamblers
• Permanent / Indefinite — a lifelong ban with no automatic end date; reactivation requires a formal review process and a minimum 7-year wait

How to Request Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion can be requested by contacting bdqk's support team directly via live chat (available 24/7, Bangladesh Standard Time UTC+6) or by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Please include your registered username and the exclusion duration you are requesting. Your request will be processed within one hour of receipt during normal support hours.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Many players do not recognise the warning signs until the behaviour has already affected their finances, their relationships, or their mental wellbeing. The following self-assessment questions are based on widely used clinical screening tools for gambling disorder. Read each question honestly and reflect on your recent gambling behaviour.

Self-Assessment Questions

Warning Signs to Watch For

• Spending increasing amounts of time on gambling platforms, including bdqk, late at night or during work or study hours
• Lying to family members or colleagues about how much time or money you spend on gambling
• Feeling a need to bet increasingly large amounts to experience the same level of excitement
• Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, anxiety, or difficult personal circumstances
• Neglecting personal responsibilities — family obligations, professional duties, or health — due to gambling activity
• Experiencing significant mood swings tied directly to wins and losses on the platform

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, reaching out for help is the right decision — and the sooner, the better. bdqk's own support team is available 24/7, but we also encourage players to connect with professional mental health and gambling addiction resources.

Professional Support in Bangladesh

Players based in Bangladesh who are concerned about their gambling behaviour are encouraged to seek professional psychological support. Mental health services and counselling are available through the National Mental Health Institute (NIMH) in Dhaka, as well as through several private mental health clinics operating across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other major cities. A general practitioner (GP) or family doctor can also provide a referral to an appropriate counselling service.

Community-based support through family, trusted friends, or religious guidance is also a valued path for many players in Bangladesh and should not be underestimated as a meaningful source of support alongside professional services.

International Resources

The following international organisations offer online resources, self-help tools, and in some cases remote counselling services that are accessible to players in Bangladesh:

• Gamblers Anonymous International — a peer-support fellowship with an active online community and meeting finder at gamblersanonymous.org
• GamCare — a UK-based organisation providing gambling addiction information, online forums, and a self-help toolkit at gamcare.org.uk
• Gambling Therapy — free multilingual online support from the Gordon Moody Association, accessible globally at gamblingtherapy.org
• BeGambleAware — offers a self-assessment tool, guidance for families and friends of problem gamblers, and treatment referrals at begambleaware.org

bdqk takes the protection of minors with the utmost seriousness. While our own age verification measures are robust, we recognise that parents and guardians also play a critical role in ensuring that children and teenagers do not access online gambling platforms.

If your household includes children or young people who share a device with you, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions:

• Never share your bdqk login credentials with any other person, including family members. Your username and password should be known only to you.
• Log out of your bdqk account after every session, particularly on shared or family devices such as tablets and shared smartphones.
• Enable device-level PIN or biometric locks on your mobile device so that the device itself cannot be accessed by a child without your knowledge.
• Install parental control software on shared household devices. Reputable options available in Bangladesh include built-in Android parental controls via Google Family Link, iOS Screen Time (for Apple devices), and third-party apps such as Qustodio and Norton Family. These tools can block access to gambling websites at the device or network level.
• Configure your home router's parental controls — many modern routers distributed by Bangladeshi ISPs (including broadband and mobile data providers) include website category filtering that can block gambling-related content across all devices connected to your home network.

If you believe that a minor has already accessed your bdqk account or has created their own account, contact our support team immediately. We will act swiftly to investigate, close any underage account, and return any funds to the original payment source.
