Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Gambling is entertainment. At dbdok, we believe every player in Bangladesh — whether they are betting on a BPL cricket match, spinning slots, or playing live casino — deserves a gaming experience that is genuinely fun, not one that causes financial stress or personal harm. That belief is the foundation of the dbdok Responsible Gaming programme.

We have built a comprehensive set of tools, policies, and support pathways that put control firmly in your hands. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits before you ever place a bet. You can take a short cooling-off break without closing your account permanently. If you feel you need a longer pause, you can activate a full self-exclusion. And if you are worried about your gambling habits or those of someone close to you, our 24/7 support team is available to guide you toward the right resources — at no cost and with no judgment.

Responsible gaming at dbdok is not a footnote in our terms document. It is a live operational priority, backed by active monitoring, trained support staff, and a genuine commitment to player welfare. The features described on this page are available to every registered dbdok account holder immediately, free of charge.

21+ Age Restriction — Non-Negotiable

dbdok is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. No exceptions.

Strictly 21+ Only Access to dbdok — including browsing odds, placing bets, playing casino games, and making any financial transaction — is restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. Providing false age information during registration is a serious violation of our Terms & Conditions and will result in permanent account closure and forfeiture of any funds held.

Every new account registered on the dbdok platform is subject to KYC (Know Your Customer) age verification before withdrawal privileges are activated. Verification requires a valid government-issued identity document — such as a Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) or passport — confirming that the applicant is 21 years of age or older at the time of registration.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a person under the age of 21 has registered on dbdok using false information, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] with the subject line "Underage Account Report". We will investigate and act within 24 hours. We also strongly recommend using parental control software on shared devices to prevent underage access to gambling platforms.

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

Six practical tools available to every dbdok account holder, free of charge, effective immediately

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month in BDT. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling period to prevent impulsive changes.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period. When your net losses reach the threshold you have specified, dbdok will restrict further play for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially useful for players managing a fixed entertainment budget in BDT.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum continuous session duration — from 30 minutes up to several hours. When the limit is reached, you will receive a clear on-screen alert. You can choose to end the session or log it as an acknowledged extension. Regular session alerts help maintain a healthy relationship with gaming time.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gambling without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days are available. During this period your account is suspended for betting and deposits. Your account data, balance, and history are preserved for when you return.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a formal commitment to stop gambling for a defined minimum period — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed for the duration selected. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will be removed from all promotional communications.

Reality Checks

Enable regular reality check notifications that display a summary of your current session — time elapsed, amount wagered, net win or loss — at intervals you choose. These brief, factual prompts help you make conscious, informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

Recognising Problem Gambling Warning Signs

Awareness is the first step. These signs may indicate that gambling is no longer just entertainment.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose
Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money you have already lost
Borrowing money, selling personal belongings, or going into debt to fund gambling activity
Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to time spent gambling
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling or when trying to stop
Hiding gambling activity or the true extent of your losses from family and friends
Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties
Failed attempts to reduce, control, or stop gambling despite wanting to do so
If You Recognise These Signs Identifying a problem early makes it significantly easier to address. If you recognise one or more of these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about, we encourage you to use dbdok's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools immediately, and to reach out to a professional support organisation. Contact our support team at [email protected] and we will guide you to the appropriate next steps.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to two or more, consider using our self-exclusion tools or speaking with a professional.

1
Have you ever gambled with money that was needed for essential living expenses — rent, food, utilities, or school fees?
2
Have you spent more time gambling than you intended on three or more occasions in the past month?
3
Have you felt the need to increase your bet sizes over time to get the same level of excitement from gambling?
4
Have you been dishonest with a family member or friend about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
5
Have you ever continued gambling after deciding to stop, or returned to gambling shortly after setting a personal limit?
6
Has gambling ever negatively affected your work performance, studies, relationships, or overall mental well-being?
This Is Not a Clinical Diagnosis This self-assessment is a simple awareness tool, not a substitute for professional evaluation. If your answers raise concerns, please use the responsible gaming tools available in your account, or contact a professional support service. dbdok's support team can connect you with appropriate help — reach us at [email protected] anytime.

Self-Exclusion — Full Details

Everything you need to know about activating, managing, and lifting a self-exclusion on your dbdok account

Duration Option 1
6-Month Self-Exclusion

A minimum six-month exclusion suitable for players who want a structured medium-term break. Your account is fully suspended, deposits are blocked, and all marketing communications cease for the full duration.

6 Months Minimum
Duration Option 2
1-Year Self-Exclusion

A full year away from the platform. This option is recommended for players who have identified a pattern of problematic play and want a meaningful, long-term commitment to stopping.

12 Months Minimum

3-Year Self-Exclusion

A three-year exclusion for players seeking an extended period of recovery. During this time, no account reactivation request will be processed, regardless of circumstances.

36 Months Minimum
Duration Option 4
Permanent Self-Exclusion

A permanent and irrevocable exclusion from the dbdok platform. Once activated, your account will be closed and your data retained only as required by law. No future reactivation is possible under any circumstances.

Permanent — Cannot Be Reversed

What happens when self-exclusion is active: Your account is immediately suspended. All pending deposits are returned to your payment source (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay). Any winnings from bets placed before the exclusion was activated will be processed normally. You will be removed from all promotional email and SMS communications. You will not be able to register a new account using the same identity documents during the exclusion period.

Lifting a self-exclusion: For 6-month, 1-year, and 3-year exclusions, you may submit a reactivation request after the full exclusion period has elapsed. Reactivation requires a 7-day review period during which dbdok will contact you to confirm your intention and signpost responsible gaming resources before the account is restored. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be lifted under any circumstances.

Getting Professional Help

If gambling is causing distress, professional support is available. You do not have to manage this alone.

dbdok's responsible gaming tools are designed to help players maintain control, but we recognise that they are not a substitute for professional counselling or therapeutic support when gambling has become a serious problem. If you or someone you know needs help beyond what our platform tools can provide, we strongly encourage reaching out to a qualified mental health professional, a counselling service, or a trusted family member.

When contacting the dbdok support team at [email protected] with a responsible gaming concern, our trained staff will:

  • Listen without judgment and treat your concern with full confidentiality
  • Immediately activate any account restriction or self-exclusion you request
  • Provide guidance on available support resources appropriate to your situation
  • Follow up within 48 hours if you have asked for a welfare check

For players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and across Bangladesh, we encourage open conversations about gambling habits with trusted family members, community leaders, or healthcare professionals. Early intervention makes a significant difference in outcomes. There is no shame in asking for help — responsible gaming starts with honesty.

dbdok Responsible Gaming Support — 24/7 Reach the dbdok responsible gaming support team at any time. Email: [email protected] — Subject line: "Responsible Gaming Support". Our team is available around the clock, Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6), and will respond to responsible gaming requests as a priority. All contact is treated with strict confidentiality.
Protecting Others — Family and Household Guidance

If you share a device or household with individuals who should not access gambling platforms — including anyone under the age of 21 — we recommend taking the following practical steps to prevent unintended access:

  • Log out after every session on shared devices. Never save your dbdok password on a shared browser or device.
  • Use parental control software on shared computers, tablets, and smartphones. Most modern devices and internet service providers offer family safety or content filtering features that can restrict access to gambling websites.
  • Keep login credentials private. Never share your dbdok username or password with any other person, including family members.
  • Have open conversations with young family members about the risks associated with gambling, including the financial and emotional consequences of problem gambling. Awareness and open dialogue are among the most effective preventative tools available.
  • Report suspected underage access to dbdok immediately at [email protected]. We take all such reports extremely seriously and act within 24 hours.

dbdok also maintains a strict policy against targeting advertising or promotional content at individuals who have self-excluded, or at any audience segment identified as potentially vulnerable. All marketing activity is designed to reach consenting adult players only.

The dbdok Responsible Gaming Principles

The commitments that guide how dbdok designs, operates, and monitors its platform

Player-First Design

Every responsible gaming tool on the dbdok platform is designed to be frictionless to activate and immediately effective. We make it easier to set limits than to remove them, by design. Reducing a deposit limit takes one step; increasing it requires a 7-day wait.

Proactive Monitoring

dbdok's internal risk team monitors account activity for patterns associated with problem gambling — including rapid bet escalation, session duration anomalies, and repeated deposit-and-loss cycles. Flagged accounts receive a proactive welfare outreach from our support team.

Transparent Odds and Outcomes

dbdok presents odds and house edge information clearly. We do not use misleading "near miss" mechanics or manipulate game displays to create a false impression of winning frequency. Fair play is a non-negotiable standard applied to every game on the platform.

No Pressure Tactics

dbdok does not use high-pressure promotional tactics targeting players who are showing signs of distress, who have recently self-excluded, or who are in a cooling-off period. All bonus and promotional communications are designed for consenting, active players only.

Play With Confidence and Control

Responsible gaming tools are active and free for every dbdok account holder. Explore our games knowing that your safety, budget, and well-being are always the priority. Questions? Our FAQ has quick answers, or browse the full dbdok Casino experience.
