Responsible Gaming at pkbd
pkbd is committed to keeping gaming fun, fair, and in control. We provide every player in Bangladesh with the tools and guidance needed to enjoy our platform safely and within their personal limits.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
pkbd is more than a gaming platform — we are a community that genuinely cares about the wellbeing of every player who joins us. Gambling, when approached responsibly, is a legitimate form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of people across Bangladesh and around the world. Cricket betting, live casino games, and slots can be a fun and thrilling experience when played within a set budget and a healthy mindset.
However, pkbd also recognises that for a minority of players, gambling can become a harmful compulsive behaviour. That is why we have built a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools directly into our platform. These tools empower you to stay in control of your gaming activity at all times — setting your own deposit limits, taking breaks when you need them, and requesting self-exclusion if things ever feel out of hand.
This page explains all the responsible gaming tools available to you on pkbd, how to recognise the warning signs of problem gambling, and how to access support if you or someone you know needs help. We encourage every player to read this page carefully, regardless of how casually or seriously they play.

Playing Responsibly — Our Golden Rules
pkbd encourages all players to follow a set of simple but important principles every time they log in and play. These principles are not restrictions — they are the foundation of a healthy, enjoyable gaming experience that stays fun over the long term.
Always decide on a budget before you start playing and treat that amount as entertainment spending — money you are comfortable losing. Never chase losses by increasing your bets in an attempt to recover funds. Set a time limit for each session and stick to it. Take regular breaks, especially during extended play sessions. Never gamble when you are stressed, upset, intoxicated, or under pressure from others.
Remember: gambling is entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to cover bills, debts, or daily expenses, please contact our support team immediately.
pkbd does not encourage players to gamble beyond their means. We actively monitor player behaviour and will reach out proactively if our systems detect patterns that may indicate a problem. Our goal is always to keep gaming enjoyable, safe, and well within your personal control.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Problem gambling does not always look the same for every person. It can develop gradually and may not be immediately obvious, even to the person experiencing it. The following are common warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. If you recognise any of these in yourself or someone close to you, please seek help without delay.
- Spending more money or time gambling than you originally planned or can afford.
- Chasing losses — continuing to bet after losing in an attempt to win back lost money.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling or when you try to stop.
- Borrowing money from family, friends, or financial institutions to fund gambling activity.
- Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health because of gambling.
- Keeping your gambling activity secret from family members or lying about how much you spend.
- Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, depression, loneliness, or other personal difficulties.
If you recognise two or more of these signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion or account lock tools available on pkbd, and to contact our support team at [email protected] for confidential, non-judgmental assistance.
Our Responsible Gaming Tools — In Detail
pkbd provides a range of practical tools designed to help you maintain full control over your gaming activity. All tools are available to every registered player and can be activated by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Requests are processed promptly and confidentially.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you are allowed to deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once set, your limit takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a minimum cooling-off period of 7 days. You may decrease your deposit limit at any time with immediate effect. This tool is one of the most effective ways to keep your gambling spend within a budget you have chosen in advance.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your chosen session limit is reached, you will receive a clear notification and your session will be paused. Session time alerts help prevent the "time distortion" effect that can occur during extended gaming, where players lose track of how long they have been playing. Taking regular breaks keeps your mind fresh and your decision-making sharp.
Account Time-Out (Cooling-Off Period)
If you feel you need a break from gambling but are not ready for a full self-exclusion, you can request a temporary account time-out for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, your account is suspended and you will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits. All existing balances are preserved and will be available to you when the time-out period ends, unless you choose to extend it.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a formal tool for players who feel their gambling has become, or is at risk of becoming, a serious problem. By requesting self-exclusion, you are asking pkbd to permanently or indefinitely block your access to the platform. Self-exclusion requests submitted to [email protected] are acted upon within 24 hours of receipt. Once a self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be reversed for a minimum period of 6 months. pkbd will not send promotional communications to self-excluded players.
Age Verification Controls
pkbd strictly enforces a 21+ age policy across all games and services on the platform. Every new account registration requires date-of-birth confirmation, and KYC (Know Your Customer) verification may be required before withdrawals are processed. If pkbd has reason to believe that an account is held by a person under the age of 21, the account will be suspended immediately pending verification. Any winnings accrued during a period of underage play will be forfeited.
Age Verification & Underage Protection
pkbd is firmly committed to preventing access by individuals under the age of 21. Gambling is an adult activity and is not appropriate for minors. We recognise that in many Bangladeshi households, mobile devices are shared between family members, including children and teenagers. For this reason, we strongly recommend that all registered players take steps to ensure that underage household members cannot access the pkbd platform on their devices.
Practical steps you can take include: setting a strong, unique password for your pkbd account and not sharing it with family members; logging out of the pkbd platform after every session, especially on shared devices; enabling screen lock or biometric authentication on your device so that others cannot access your apps; and contacting pkbd support if you believe an underage person may have accessed your account.
⚠️ Players must be 21 years of age or older to register and play on pkbd. Anyone found to be under 21 will have their account immediately suspended and any associated funds forfeited. 21+ only.
Self-Exclusion — Full Details
Self-exclusion is the most decisive tool available to players who feel they need to stop gambling entirely. When you request self-exclusion from pkbd, you are formally asking us to close your access to the platform for a defined or indefinite period. This is a serious step and pkbd treats all self-exclusion requests with the utmost confidentiality and urgency.
To request self-exclusion, please email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and include your registered mobile number and the duration for which you wish to self-exclude (minimum 6 months). Your request will be processed within 24 hours of receipt. During this processing window, please refrain from logging in to your account. Once self-exclusion is confirmed, you will receive a written confirmation to your registered contact details.
During a self-exclusion period, your account balance will be frozen and any verified balance will be returned to you via your registered payment method (bKash, Nagad, or Rocket) within 5 to 7 business days. pkbd will not contact self-excluded players with promotional offers, bonuses, or marketing communications for the full duration of the self-exclusion period.
