Responsible Gaming at dkbd
dkbd is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming experience for every player in Bangladesh. Our responsible gaming programme gives you the tools, resources, and support to stay in control — because your wellbeing always comes first.
Our Commitment to Safe Play
At dkbd, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core principle that shapes every aspect of how we design and operate our platform. We recognise that while the vast majority of our players in Bangladesh enjoy casino games and sports betting as a form of entertainment, a small number of individuals may develop patterns of play that cause harm to themselves or those around them. dkbd is determined to minimise that harm through proactive player protection measures, transparent information, and access to credible support resources.
Our responsible gaming programme is built on four pillars: prevention, education, early intervention, and support. Prevention means that we implement technical controls — such as deposit limits and self-exclusion — that make it straightforward for any player to manage their play. Education means that we publish clear, accessible information about the risks associated with gambling, including this page. Early intervention means that our platform monitors for signs of problem gambling and reaches out to players whose behaviour may indicate risk. Support means that we make it easy for any player to access professional help, both through our own 24/7 support team and through third-party organisations.
dkbd strictly enforces an 18+ age policy. No individual under the age of 18 years is permitted to register an account, deposit funds, or place bets on the dkbd platform. We use mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) identity verification to confirm the age and identity of every player before any withdrawal is processed, and we reserve the right to suspend and review any account where age verification is incomplete or inconsistent.
Age Restriction & Verification
dkbd operates a robust age verification process at two key stages: at registration, where players must declare their date of birth, and during the KYC verification process, where a government-issued photo ID (such as a National Identity Card or passport) must be submitted to confirm the declared date of birth independently. Until KYC verification is complete and age is confirmed, withdrawal requests will not be processed.
If you are a parent or guardian and suspect that a minor in your household has accessed the dkbd platform, please contact our support team at immediately. We will act on any credible report of underage access without delay — suspending the relevant account, conducting a full investigation, and returning any deposited funds via the original payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or bank transfer as applicable).
We also strongly encourage parents and guardians to make use of internet filtering tools and parental control software to restrict access to online gambling platforms on shared or family devices. See our Parental Controls section below for practical guidance.
Deposit Limits
One of the most effective tools for managing your gambling spend is a deposit limit. dkbd allows every registered player to set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once a limit is in place, you will not be able to deposit more than that amount within the defined time period, regardless of the payment method used — whether bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, or a linked bank account.
- Daily deposit limit: Caps the total amount you can deposit into your dkbd account across any 24-hour period (midnight to midnight, Bangladesh Standard Time).
- Weekly deposit limit: Caps the total amount you can deposit across any seven-day rolling period.
- Monthly deposit limit: Caps the total amount you can deposit across any calendar month.
Setting a deposit limit is immediate — as soon as you save your preferred limit in your account settings, it takes effect for all subsequent deposits. Increasing a deposit limit, however, requires a 72-hour cooling-off period before the higher limit becomes active. This built-in delay is intentional: it ensures that any decision to increase a limit is considered rather than impulsive. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately with no delay.
We recommend that all players — not only those who feel they may have a problem — set a deposit limit that reflects a realistic monthly entertainment budget. A sensible limit removes the temptation to chase losses and keeps your gambling firmly in the category of leisure spending.
Time-Out Feature
Sometimes you simply need a short break. dkbd's time-out feature allows you to pause your account for a defined period — anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks — without permanently closing your account. During a time-out period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. Any pending withdrawals will continue to be processed as normal.
24-Hour Break
Pause your account for one full day. Useful if you have been playing for a long session and feel you need to step back.
7-Day Break
Take a full week away from the platform. A great reset if you notice your play is becoming more frequent than usual.
30-Day Break
Step away for a full month. Recommended if you have experienced a run of significant losses or feel your mood is being affected by your results.
6-Week Break
The longest standard time-out option. If you are unsure whether you need full self-exclusion, a 6-week break gives you extended time to reflect.
A time-out cannot be reversed early. This is a deliberate design choice to ensure the break is genuinely effective. When your chosen time-out period expires, you will receive a reminder email before your account is reactivated, giving you the opportunity to extend the break if you wish.
Self-Exclusion
dkbd's self-exclusion programme allows you to block yourself from accessing the dkbd platform for a minimum period of six months, with options extending to one year, two years, three years, or indefinitely. During a self-exclusion period, your account will be deactivated, you will not receive any marketing or promotional communications from dkbd, and you will not be able to create a new account using the same identity details.
- Minimum self-exclusion period: 6 months
- Standard options: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years
- Permanent self-exclusion: Available on request; this cannot be reversed
- Effect on marketing: All promotional communications are immediately suspended and will not resume until the exclusion period ends and you formally reactivate your account
- Effect on pending withdrawals: Any withdrawals that are already in progress will be completed; you will receive your funds via your registered payment method
Reactivating a self-excluded account after the minimum period has elapsed requires a written request to , followed by a mandatory 72-hour review and cooling-off period before access is restored. This ensures that reactivation is a considered decision rather than an impulsive one made in a vulnerable moment.
To request self-exclusion immediately, contact our support team via email at . State clearly that you wish to self-exclude, specify your preferred duration, and provide your registered username. Self-exclusion will be applied to your account within one hour of your request, at any time of day or night.
Problem Gambling Self-Assessment
It is not always easy to recognise when gambling has crossed the line from entertainment to a problem. The questions below are adapted from widely used responsible gaming assessment frameworks. Read through them honestly — if you answer "yes" to several of them, it may be time to use dkbd's responsible gaming tools or to seek professional support.
Ask Yourself Honestly
Recognising a problem early is the most powerful step you can take. Many players who have used dkbd's responsible gaming tools report that a structured break — combined with honest reflection — was enough to restore a healthy relationship with gambling. Others have found that professional counselling made a transformative difference. Either path is valid.
Support Resources
dkbd is not a counselling organisation, and we recognise that for some players, professional support is necessary. Below we outline the resources available to players in Bangladesh and beyond who feel that gambling is negatively affecting their lives or the lives of people they care about. All contact information below is provided for informational purposes only and represents independent organisations.
- dkbd Support Team: Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Reach us at to discuss activating any responsible gaming tool, including immediate self-exclusion, deposit limit reductions, or account closure.
- Kaan Pete Roi (Bangladesh): A mental health and emotional support helpline operating in Bangladesh. Offers confidential conversations about stress, anxiety, and personal problems including gambling-related concerns.
- National Mental Health Helpline (Bangladesh): The Government of Bangladesh operates a mental health support line accessible to citizens across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barisal, Rangpur, and Mymensingh.
- Gamblers Anonymous: An international peer-support fellowship for individuals who recognise a gambling problem and wish to stop. Meetings are available in person and online, with materials accessible to Bangladeshi players.
- GamCare: An internationally recognised responsible gambling support organisation offering online self-help tools, a helpline, and live chat support in English, suitable for Bangladeshi players who are comfortable in English.
- BeGambleAware: A responsible gambling charity that provides confidential information and support to anyone affected by gambling problems, including family members and friends of problem gamblers.
dkbd encourages any player who is concerned about their gambling to reach out to one or more of these resources. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. The dkbd responsible gaming team can also assist with referrals and signposting if you are unsure which resource is most appropriate for your situation.
Parental Controls
If you share a device with children or teenagers in your household — whether a smartphone, tablet, or computer — it is important to take practical steps to prevent them from accessing online gambling platforms, including dkbd. Below are the most effective approaches available to families in Bangladesh.
- Device-level parental controls: Both Android and iOS devices include built-in parental control features that allow you to block specific app categories (including gambling apps) and filter web browsing by content category. Set a separate PIN that only adults in the household know.
- Browser filtering software: Third-party tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and Google Family Link allow parents to block gambling-related websites across all browsers on a managed device. These tools can be applied at the device or router level.
- Router-level content filtering: Many home routers in Bangladesh support content filtering that blocks entire categories of websites (including gambling) across all devices on the home network. Consult your internet service provider for configuration guidance.
- Separate accounts: Ensure that children use their own device accounts (with age-appropriate settings) rather than accessing devices logged in as an adult. Never share your dkbd login credentials with anyone, including family members.
- Open conversation: Talk to teenagers in your household about the risks of gambling — including the fact that online casino and sports betting platforms are designed for adult entertainment only and that the odds always favour the house over time.
If you discover that a minor has accessed your dkbd account, change your password immediately and contact our support team at . We will review the account activity, reverse any transactions involving the minor, and advise on next steps. Do not delay — early reporting allows us to act more effectively.
