Important Warning

Online gaming is for adults 18 and over only. Gaming is for entertainment — not a source of income. Losses are always possible. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.

What Is Responsible Play and Why It Matters

Responsible play means keeping gaming a healthy part of your life for entertainment — not making it the centre of your life. bodk believes gaming is truly enjoyable only when every player understands their financial limits, time, and state of mind.

People sometimes spend more time gaming in the hope of recovering lost money or relieving stress. This can gradually develop into an addiction. Our Responsible Play programme works to reduce that risk and keep players informed.

Bodk's Responsible Gaming policy is built on three core principles — Awareness, Regulation and Support. We want you to enjoy gaming — but never at the expense of your family, financial wellbeing, or mental health.

Bodk's Commitment

We don't just offer games — we're committed to keeping you safe. Every tool, limit, and support service is free and available at all times.

Recognize the Signs of Problem Gaming

Problem gaming doesn't appear overnight. It develops gradually. Watch out for the following signs:

Financial Warning Signs

Betting beyond your means, borrowing money to play, or skipping bill payments to fund gaming.

Time-Related Signs

Gaming for hours on end at the expense of work, family, or sleep — and being unable to stop.

Psychological Signs

Feeling restless, angry, or depressed after a loss; feeling uncomfortable when not playing.

Social Signs

Hiding gaming from family or friends, and tension in relationships.

If you notice even one of these signs in yourself, pause. Read the self-assessment section below or contact our support team.

Set Limits — Stay in Control

The most effective way to play responsibly is to set your limits before you start. bodk gives you the tools to make those decisions for yourself.

Limit Types What it controls Tips
Deposit Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Amount Stay Within Your Monthly Entertainment Budget
Bet Limits Maximum bet amount per game Reduces the risk of losing everything at once
Loss Limit Maximum loss amount within a set time period Prevents impulsive decisions after a loss
Session Time Limit Extended Play Sessions Take a Break Every Hour
Reality Check Automatic Session Reminders Reminds you how long you've played and how much you've spent

Limits can be lowered at any time, but increasing them requires a 24–72 hour waiting period — this protects you from making impulsive decisions.

bodk's Responsible Gaming Tools

Bodk offers players a range of dedicated tools to help you manage your own gaming habits:

Cooldown Break

Pause your gaming for 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month. No bets can be placed on your account during this time.

Self-Exclusion

Activate a long-term self-exclusion lasting from 6 months up to 5 years. Your account cannot be reactivated during this period.

Gaming History

View your full betting and transaction history. Easily track how much time and money you've spent.

Time Reminder

You'll receive automatic notifications after a set period of play. A reminder like "You've been playing for 60 minutes" helps you know when to take a break.

Balance Limit

Set the maximum amount you want to keep in your account. Any deposits beyond that limit will be blocked automatically.

Support Chat

Talk directly with our Bangla-speaking support team at any time. If you have concerns about your gaming, we're here to help.

Self-Assessment — Check Yourself

10 Tips for Building Healthy Gaming Habits

Responsible play doesn't mean giving up gaming — it means building the right habits. Follow these tips:

Keep a Separate Entertainment Budget

Decide at the start of each month how much BDT you're willing to spend on gaming. Once that budget runs out, stop playing for the rest of the month.

Plan Your Time in Advance

Decide how long you'll play before you start. Set an alarm and stop when the time is up.

Keep Your Expectations Realistic

Gaming is primarily for entertainment. A win is a bonus — but even without one, remember you played for the fun of it.

Don't Chase Your Losses

"Chasing" losses by placing more bets to win back what you lost is the most dangerous habit. If you're losing, stop.

Take a Break Every Hour

Playing for long stretches impairs your judgement. Step away every 45–60 minutes, drink some water, take a short walk.

Don't Play Under the Influence

Alcohol and strong emotions impair your judgment. Avoid gaming when you're drunk or feeling overwhelmed.

Stay Open with Your Family

Let the people close to you know that you enjoy gaming. Hiding the habit only makes problems worse.

Keep Up Hobbies Outside of Gaming

Reading, sports, spending time with friends — having other activities in your life helps reduce the risk of gaming addiction.

When You Win, Cash Out a Little

Withdraw when you have a big win. Instead of betting it all back, set some aside and keep it safe.

Don't Hesitate to Seek Help

If something feels wrong, contact bodk support immediately or activate self-exclusion.

Protection of Minors

Bodk strictly prohibits anyone under 18 from accessing the gaming platform. We take active steps to protect children and minors:

  • Age verification is mandatory at registration, and document verification may be required where applicable.
  • Suspicious accounts are temporarily suspended until verified.
  • Accounts will be investigated and closed upon request from a family guardian.
  • Using parental filter software is strongly recommended.

If you believe a minor is using bodk, please contact us. Email: [email protected]

Parents can, on shared family devices, NetNanny, Qustodio or similar parental control software to restrict access to online gaming sites.

FAQ

Your account cannot be reactivated before your self-exclusion period ends. Once it does, you'll need to contact support yourself and complete a cooling-off period. This time is designed to help you make a clear-headed decision.

Yes. Lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately. However, increasing it requires a waiting period of 24 to 72 hours. This delay is intentional — to prevent impulsive limit increases.

Speak with empathy and without judgment — just listen. If needed, encourage them to reach out to bodk support. Remember, asking for help is not a weakness.

No. All of bodk's Responsible Gaming tools — limit setting, self-exclusion, cooldown breaks, and session reminders — are completely free. Using them is your right.
