Player Wellbeing

Responsible Gaming
at okbet

At okbet, we believe that gambling is entertainment — and entertainment should never come at the cost of your health, finances, or relationships. This page outlines the practical tools, policies, and resources available to every player in Bangladesh who wants to keep their gaming experience positive and under control.

Tools Designed to Keep You in Control

okbet provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming controls built directly into your account. These tools are free, easy to activate, and take effect immediately or within a defined window.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your okbet account. Limit decreases take effect immediately. Increases require a minimum 24-hour cooling period before they apply, giving you time to reconsider.

Session Time Limits

Define a maximum session duration for your gaming activity. Once the limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out of your account. This helps prevent extended unplanned sessions and keeps you aware of time spent on the platform.

Cooling-Off Periods

Request a temporary break from okbet lasting between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, your account deposits and betting activity are suspended. The period cannot be shortened once activated, though it expires automatically.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer or permanent break, okbet offers full self-exclusion. This suspends your account for a minimum of 6 months and cannot be reversed during that period. Contact our support team to activate self-exclusion at any time.

Opt Out of Promotions

You can opt out of receiving promotional emails, SMS notifications, and bonus offers at any time through your account settings or by contacting support. Reducing exposure to promotional incentives can help you make clearer decisions about when and how much to play.

Loss Limits

Set a ceiling on the total amount you are willing to lose over a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, further betting activity on your account is suspended until the limit period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing significant financial harm.

18+ Only — No Exceptions

okbet operates a strict minimum age policy. Access to the platform, account registration, and all gaming and betting activity is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. This is a non-negotiable condition of using okbet, and it is actively enforced.

During the registration process, all players are required to confirm their date of birth. okbet reserves the right to request documentary proof of age at any stage of the account lifecycle, including before processing any withdrawal. Accepted documents include national identity cards, passports, and birth certificates.

If we discover that a player has provided a false date of birth or has otherwise circumvented our age verification process, the account will be immediately closed, all winnings will be voided, and any deposits made will be refunded to the original payment method. We take underage gambling seriously and cooperate fully with any regulatory enquiry related to age verification.

Parents and Guardians: If you share a device with a minor, please ensure your okbet account is protected with a strong password that is not accessible to them. If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact our support team immediately at [email protected].

18+

Mandatory Age Requirement

All okbet players must be 18 years of age or older. Age verification is required at registration and may be requested again at any time. Accounts found to belong to underage players will be closed immediately with all funds returned.

01

Date of birth verified at every new registration — no exceptions.

02

Identity documents requested before any withdrawal is processed.

03

Accounts of underage users closed and deposits fully refunded.

04

Parental controls and password protection strongly recommended on shared devices.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling becomes a problem when it is no longer enjoyable entertainment but a compulsion that interferes with your daily life. Recognising the warning signs early is the first step toward getting help. The following patterns may indicate that gambling is becoming problematic.

01

Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose, or borrowing money specifically to fund gambling activity.

02

Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost, often leading to larger losses.

03

Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health in order to spend more time gambling.

04

Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when attempting to reduce or stop gambling activity.

05

Concealing the extent of your gambling from family members or close friends because you are concerned about their reaction.

06

Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties rather than as entertainment.

07

Repeatedly making unsuccessful attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling, despite wanting to do so.

08

Experiencing financial difficulties — unpaid bills, loans, or depleted savings — that are directly attributable to gambling expenditure.

If any of the above apply to you: Please take action today. You can use our self-exclusion tool, set deposit and session limits, or contact the okbet support team. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our team is trained to assist you with discretion and without judgment.

Honest Questions to Ask Yourself

The following checklist is a self-assessment tool intended to help you reflect honestly on your gambling habits. There are no right or wrong answers — this is a private exercise for your own benefit. If you find yourself answering "yes" to several of these questions, it may be time to speak with a professional or to use one of okbet's responsible gaming tools.

okbet does not record your responses to this checklist. It is provided purely as a reflective resource to support your personal wellbeing.

Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for essential expenses such as rent, groceries, or bills?

Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you have started, even when you originally intended to play for only a short time?

Have you ever lied to a family member or friend about how much money or time you have spent gambling?

Do you feel a strong urge to gamble more after a winning session, or to keep playing after a losing session to win back what you lost?

Has gambling ever caused conflict with your family, partner, employer, or colleagues?

Do you turn to gambling when you are feeling stressed, lonely, bored, or upset?

Have you borrowed money from friends, family, or financial institutions to fund gambling?

Have you ever considered that you might have a problem with gambling, even briefly?

Activating Your Responsible Gaming Settings

All responsible gaming controls are available directly within your okbet account. The steps below explain how to access and apply each tool. If you encounter any difficulty, the okbet support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can apply any limit or restriction on your behalf.

We strongly encourage all players to review and set these controls proactively — not only when a problem has already emerged. Setting sensible limits before you start playing is the most effective way to ensure your gaming stays enjoyable.

Log in to your okbet account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Select the period (daily, weekly, or monthly) and enter your desired limit amount in BDT. Click Save to apply. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit will only be processed after a mandatory 24-hour reflection period.

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Limits. Set your maximum session duration in minutes or hours. You will receive a notification when you are approaching your limit, and you will be automatically logged out when it is reached. You can adjust or remove session limits at any time from the same settings page.

Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Take a Break. Choose a duration between 24 hours and 6 weeks. Once activated, your account will be suspended for the selected period and all deposit capabilities will be disabled. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled early. Your account will reactivate automatically when the period ends.

Self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum of 6 months. To activate it, contact the okbet support team directly via live chat or email at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will process your request within 24 hours. During self-exclusion, you will not receive any marketing communications from okbet, and re-registration attempts using the same identity will be blocked.

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits. Enter the maximum amount in BDT you are comfortable losing over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once reached, no further bets can be placed until the limit period resets. As with deposit limits, reductions take effect immediately while increases require a 24-hour waiting period.

Family & Community

okbet's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At okbet, responsible gaming is not a compliance checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We train our customer support staff to recognise signs of distress or problem gambling and to respond with empathy and practical assistance. We proactively monitor account behaviour for patterns that may indicate risk, and we will reach out to players when our systems flag a potential concern.

We do not market to players who are in the process of self-excluding or who have active cooling-off periods. We do not offer bonus incentives specifically designed to encourage players to increase their spending beyond their stated limits. The long-term wellbeing of our players is always more important to us than short-term revenue.

Our responsible gaming programme is reviewed and updated regularly. Players who feel that the programme can be improved are encouraged to share their feedback with our team via live chat or email. We take all such feedback seriously.

Staff Training

All okbet customer support agents receive regular training on responsible gaming principles and on how to handle sensitive player conversations with care and professionalism.

Proactive Monitoring

okbet uses automated tools to monitor for high-risk gambling patterns. Players identified as potentially at-risk may receive a proactive outreach message from our team with information about available tools.

No Marketing to Vulnerable Players

Players who have set limits, taken breaks, or indicated distress are removed from all promotional contact lists immediately. We never market to players who have self-excluded or who are under a cooling-off restriction.
