Responsible Gaming at bodk — Because Safe Play Comes First

bodk believes that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page explains the tools, policies, and guidance we have in place to help every player in Bangladesh stay in control of their gaming activity.

Important Notice: Gambling is intended for adults aged 21 and above only. It should be treated as a form of entertainment — not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you feel that gambling is negatively affecting your life, your relationships, or your finances, please use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools described on this page, or contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. Help is always available, free of charge, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our Responsible Gaming Principles

bodk's approach to player welfare is built on six core principles. These are not policies we apply reluctantly — they reflect the values at the heart of how we operate as a platform serving players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, and beyond.

🛡️
Strict 21+ Age Policy

bodk enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all registered players. Age verification is conducted as part of the KYC process, and any account found to belong to a player under 21 is suspended immediately, with deposited funds returned to the original payment method where technically possible.

💰
Deposit Limits

Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on their bodk accounts at any time. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Any request to increase a deposit limit is subject to a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period before the change is applied — ensuring that decisions made in the heat of the moment do not bypass your own protections.

⏱️
Session Time Alerts

bodk's platform can notify you when you have been actively playing for a set period of time. Session time alerts serve as a gentle reminder to take a break, step back, and assess whether you are still playing for enjoyment. You can configure these alerts through your account settings at any time, free of charge.

🚪
Self-Exclusion

If you feel that you need a more substantial break from gambling, bodk's self-exclusion tool allows you to block access to your account for a period of your choosing — from 30 days up to a permanent exclusion. During any active self-exclusion period, bodk will not send you promotional communications and will not process account reactivation requests until the exclusion period has fully elapsed.

Cooling-Off Periods

A cooling-off period gives you a shorter-term break from the platform without the commitment of a full self-exclusion. Players can request a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is temporarily suspended for gameplay and deposits, and you will not receive any promotional messages from bodk.

🤝
24/7 Support

bodk's English-language support team is available around the clock, every day of the year. If you have concerns about your gambling behaviour — or if you are reaching out on behalf of a family member or friend — our team will listen, provide guidance, and help you access the right tool or resource without judgement or delay.

How to Activate Your Protection Tools

All responsible gaming tools at bodk are self-service and can be activated at any time through your account settings. Here is a simple step-by-step guide to setting up each protection feature. If you experience any difficulty, our support team is available 24/7 at [email protected].

1
Log In to Your bodk Account

Navigate to the bodk Login page and sign in using your registered username and password. All responsible gaming tools are accessible from within your account settings dashboard once you are logged in.

2
Open Account Settings

Once logged in, navigate to "Account Settings" and locate the "Responsible Gaming" section. This section is clearly labelled and is always accessible regardless of your current account status.

3
Choose Your Protection Tool

Select from Deposit Limits, Session Time Alerts, Cooling-Off Period, or Self-Exclusion. Each tool has a dedicated settings panel with clear English-language instructions and confirmation prompts before any change is saved.

4
Set Your Preferred Parameters

For deposit limits, enter your preferred amount in BDT and select the time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). For cooling-off or self-exclusion, select your preferred duration from the available options. Confirm your selection to apply the tool immediately.

5
Confirmation and Support

bodk will send a confirmation email to your registered address once any protection tool is activated. If you do not receive this confirmation within 10 minutes, or if you need assistance at any step, contact [email protected] immediately and our team will apply the restriction manually on your behalf.

Our Four Player Protection Tools
01
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your bodk account within a given time period. Available as a daily limit (e.g., ৳2,000/day), weekly limit (e.g., ৳10,000/week), or monthly limit (e.g., ৳30,000/month). Limit decreases take effect immediately; limit increases require a 72-hour waiting period to prevent impulsive decisions.

02
Session Time Alerts

Configure automated on-screen notifications that trigger after you have been logged in and actively playing for a set duration. Options include 30-minute, 1-hour, 2-hour, and custom alerts. The alert prompts you to consider whether you would like to take a break — it does not force you to stop, but it ensures you are always conscious of how long you have been playing.

03
Cooling-Off Period

A temporary account suspension ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. Ideal for players who need a short break to regain perspective. Your account data and balance are preserved during the cooling-off period. bodk will not contact you with any promotional offers while a cooling-off period is active.

04
Self-Exclusion

A longer-term account block for players who feel they need a more serious break from gambling. Self-exclusion periods of 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion are available. Permanent self-exclusion results in full account closure. During any self-exclusion, bodk will not send you any marketing communications and will not process reactivation requests until the full period has elapsed.

Is Gambling Still Fun for You?

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise from the inside. The self-check questions on this page are not a clinical diagnostic tool — they are intended to help you pause, reflect, and decide whether you would benefit from using one of bodk's responsible gaming tools or seeking additional support.

If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to contact the bodk support team at [email protected]. Our team will discuss your situation confidentially and help you activate the appropriate protection tools on your account.

You are not alone. Many players across Bangladesh have successfully used bodk's responsible gaming tools to regain control of their gaming habits. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. bodk's support team will always treat your enquiry with complete confidentiality and zero judgement.

Responsible Gaming — Common Questions

Here are answers to the questions we most frequently receive from bodk players about responsible gaming tools, policies, and support options.

Log in to your bodk account, navigate to Account Settings, and open the Responsible Gaming section. Select "Deposit Limits", choose whether you want a daily, weekly, or monthly limit, and enter the maximum amount in BDT. Confirm your selection and the limit will take effect immediately. You can decrease your limit at any time with instant effect. Requests to increase a previously set limit are subject to a mandatory 72-hour review period.

A cooling-off period is a short-term break of 24 hours to 30 days, after which your account automatically becomes accessible again. It is designed for players who want a brief pause to regain perspective. Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment — from 30 days up to permanent exclusion — and is designed for players who feel they need a more serious break from gambling. During self-exclusion, bodk will not process any reactivation requests until the full exclusion period has elapsed. Both tools are free and can be activated immediately through your account settings.

Yes. If you have a positive account balance when you activate a self-exclusion, you may submit a withdrawal request to return those funds to your bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or Upay wallet. Withdrawal requests submitted during an active self-exclusion are processed in accordance with bodk's standard withdrawal procedures. You will not be able to make new deposits or play any games during the self-exclusion period, but your right to withdraw existing funds is not affected.

If you are concerned about a family member's gambling behaviour, we encourage you to reach out to bodk's support team at [email protected]. While bodk cannot discuss account details with third parties for privacy reasons, our support team can provide guidance on how to approach the conversation with your family member, what resources are available, and how to encourage them to use bodk's built-in responsible gaming tools. We take every such enquiry seriously and respond with full discretion.

No. The bodk platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. Age verification is a mandatory step in the KYC process, and all players are required to provide valid proof of age before their account is fully verified and withdrawal access is granted. If bodk discovers that a player under 21 has registered an account — regardless of how the account passed the initial check — the account will be suspended immediately, the player's data will be handled in accordance with bodk's Privacy Policy, and any deposited funds will be returned to the original payment method.

No. Once a cooling-off period or self-exclusion is active on your account, bodk will immediately suppress all promotional communications to your registered email address and mobile number. You will still receive essential transactional messages — such as withdrawal confirmations or security alerts — but you will not receive any bonus offers, game promotions, or seasonal marketing messages until the restriction has fully elapsed and you have actively opted back in to marketing communications.
