PKBD's Full Responsible Gaming Policy

PKBD believes gaming is a form of entertainment. Enjoying the thrill of every over in cricket or celebrating your favourite team's victory in football — that's what responsible betting looks like. But when entertainment turns into compulsion, that's when problems begin. PKBD's Responsible Gaming policy is designed to catch these issues early and provide real solutions.

Why Does Responsible Gaming Matter?

Research shows that around 3–5 in every 100 gamblers exhibit signs of problem gambling at some point. As online betting continues to grow in Bangladesh, responsible gaming has never been more important. At PKBD, we don't just want to entertain our members — we want them to thrive.

18+ Age Policy

A minimum age of 18 is required to register with PKBD. This isn't just a formality — we verify every member's age through KYC checks. Any account identified as belonging to a minor is closed immediately. We believe keeping underage individuals away from gaming is our social responsibility.

  • Date of birth is verified at the time of registration.
  • Government-issued ID is required to verify your age before your first withdrawal.
  • Age verification may be requested at any time if there is cause for suspicion.
  • If a minor's account is identified, the parent or guardian will be notified immediately.

The Golden Rules of Responsible Betting

Keep these guidelines in mind while betting on PKBD to ensure your experience stays enjoyable every time:

  • Only bet what you can afford to lose — money whose loss won't affect your daily life or household.
  • Do not treat betting as a source of income — it is for entertainment only.
  • Never place a bet when you're angry, upset, or under the influence.
  • Don't chase losses — avoid placing bigger bets out of frustration after a loss.
  • Set yourself a daily maximum limit and stick to it.
  • Take regular breaks — make it a habit to step away from gaming.
  • Keep making time for family and friends.

PKBD's support team is available 24/7 for any Responsible Gaming assistance you need. Help is available while keeping your identity completely confidential.

Advice for Family Members

If you believe a family member or friend is struggling with a gaming addiction:

  • Speak with empathy, without judgment.
  • Encourage them to acknowledge the problem and seek help.
  • Learn about self-exclusion on PKBD's Responsible Gaming page.
  • Encourage them to seek advice from a mental health professional.
  • Remember, addiction is a health condition — not a sign of weak willpower.

Responsible Gaming — Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, deposit limits can be increased — however, the change will only take effect after 24 hours. This delay is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment. Decreasing a limit, on the other hand, takes effect immediately.

No, your balance remains safe when you self-exclude. Any withdrawable balance in your account will be returned to you. Active bonuses may be cancelled. Once the self-exclusion period ends, your account can be reactivated.

A cooling-off period is a temporary break (24 hours to 6 weeks) — your account reactivates automatically once it ends. Self-exclusion is a long-term or permanent closure — a minimum of 6 months, up to permanent. It is stricter and cannot be reversed before the period expires.

Yes, PKBD's Responsible Gaming support team operates with complete confidentiality. Your information is never shared with third parties. You can also contact support anonymously.

Completely free. All of PKBD's responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, bet limits, cooling-off, self-exclusion, and reality checks — are available at no cost. Support services are free as well.

Self-exclusion is typically requested by the account holder themselves. However, if you believe a family member is struggling with gaming addiction, contact PKBD support — we'll help guide you through the right steps.
