Tools to Keep You in Control

bdoko provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools accessible directly from your account dashboard. Use them at any time — changes to limits take effect immediately.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your bdoko account. Once a limit is active, it cannot be increased for 24 hours after the request, giving you a built-in cooling-off buffer. Reductions apply immediately.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period. When your losses reach the limit you have chosen, bdoko will automatically restrict further wagers for the remainder of that period — no action needed on your part.

Session Time Limits

Choose a maximum session duration before you start playing. Once your session reaches the time you set, bdoko will display a prompt and pause your session. This helps prevent the kind of extended, unplanned play sessions that are a common early sign of problem gambling.

Time-Out

Need a short break? Activate a time-out period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place wagers until the period expires. Marketing communications are also paused.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer break, bdoko offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent exclusion. A self-excluded account cannot be reopened before the chosen period ends, and all promotional communications cease immediately upon activation.

Reality Checks

Enable regular on-screen reminders that display how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session. Reality checks can be set to appear every 15, 30, or 60 minutes, giving you regular, objective snapshots of your session without interrupting gameplay.

Age Policy

Strictly 21 and Above

bdoko operates exclusively for adults aged 21 years and older. This is not just a regulatory requirement — it is a fundamental commitment to the safety and wellbeing of younger people in Bangladesh and beyond. We have no tolerance for underage gambling.

Every new bdoko account is subject to mandatory age verification during registration. Before any withdrawal can be processed, players must complete our Know Your Customer (KYC) process, which includes submitting a valid National Identity Card (NID) or passport to confirm date of birth. Accounts that cannot be verified as 21+ are permanently closed and any balance is returned via the original deposit method.

If you know or suspect that a minor is accessing a gambling platform — including bdoko — please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will act swiftly to investigate and close the account in question.

Parental Controls

If you share a device with someone under 21, we strongly recommend using parental control software to block access to gambling websites. Tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in device screen-time controls can restrict access at the device level, providing an extra layer of protection beyond bdoko's own age verification.

Age Verification Process

1

Registration Check

You declare your date of birth during account registration. Providing a false date of birth is a breach of bdoko's Terms and Conditions and may result in permanent account closure.

2

Document Submission

Before your first withdrawal, bdoko requires a clear image of your National Identity Card (NID) or passport to confirm your date of birth and identity.

3

Verification Review

Our compliance team reviews submitted documents. Accounts confirmed as belonging to individuals under 21 are immediately suspended and reported as required.

4

Ongoing Monitoring

bdoko periodically re-verifies accounts and may request updated documentation. This is standard practice and part of our duty of care to all players on the platform.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising the early warning signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first and most important step toward getting help.

This Is Not a Diagnosis

The warning signs below are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical or psychological assessment. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, please speak with a qualified healthcare professional or contact bdoko support for a referral to appropriate resources.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble after significant losses in an attempt to "win back" money is one of the most common and serious warning signs of a gambling problem.

Hiding Gambling Activity

Feeling the need to conceal how much time or money you spend gambling from family, friends, or colleagues is a strong indicator that gambling has become problematic.

Borrowing to Gamble

Taking loans, using credit, or borrowing money from others specifically to fund gambling activity is a serious financial warning sign that requires immediate attention.

Emotional Distress

Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling, or gambling to escape negative emotions or stress, suggests that gaming has moved beyond entertainment.

Losing Track of Time

Repeatedly playing for much longer than originally intended, or being unable to stop at a planned time, indicates a loss of control over gambling behaviour.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, neglecting family obligations, or withdrawing from social activities because of gambling time or financial pressure is a clear sign that help may be needed.

Self-Assessment

Ask Yourself These Questions

If you answer "yes" to three or more of the following questions, bdoko strongly encourages you to use our responsible gaming tools or reach out to our support team for guidance. There is no shame in seeking help — recognising a pattern early makes a real difference.

1
Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills?
2
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day, even when doing other things?
3
Have you tried to reduce or stop gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
4
Have you gambled more than you planned after a losing session in an attempt to recover your losses?
5
Have your gambling habits caused tension, arguments, or worry for you, your family, or people close to you?
6
Have you ever lied about the amount of time or money you spend gambling to someone you care about?
7
Do you gamble as a way to relieve stress, loneliness, boredom, or difficult emotions rather than purely for entertainment?

Important Note on Self-Exclusion

Once a self-exclusion period is confirmed, bdoko cannot reverse or shorten it at your request before the period ends. This is a deliberate safeguard designed to protect you during a vulnerable period. Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible.

Our Commitment

How bdoko Supports Responsible Gaming at the Platform Level

Responsible gaming at bdoko is not an afterthought — it is embedded into the architecture of the platform itself. Every feature, every promotional campaign, and every communication is reviewed against our responsible gaming standards before it goes live. We refuse to offer bonus structures that incentivise players to chase losses or increase wagering beyond their stated limits.

bdoko's platform monitors player behaviour in real time using automated pattern-detection tools. If a player's activity shows indicators consistent with problem gambling — such as a sudden and significant increase in deposit frequency, rapidly increasing bet sizes following a loss run, or repeated attempts to extend a session after a time limit notification — our responsible gaming team is automatically alerted and may proactively reach out to the player to check in.

All bdoko staff who interact with players receive training in identifying signs of problem gambling and in how to handle sensitive conversations about responsible gaming in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. We understand that speaking about gambling problems can be difficult, and we want every player in Bangladesh to feel safe raising these issues with our team.

bdoko does not advertise gambling to individuals who have self-excluded or who have requested to be removed from marketing communications. We maintain a strict internal suppression list and audit it regularly. Promotional communications relating to bonuses, free spins, tournaments, and cashback offers are never sent to players who have active responsible gaming restrictions on their accounts.

We are continuously investing in new responsible gaming technology and process improvements. If you have a suggestion for how bdoko could better support player wellbeing, we genuinely want to hear it. Send your feedback to [email protected] — all suggestions are reviewed by our product and compliance teams.
